I blinked.

The restaurant came back into focus-the soft clinking of glasses, the low murmur of voices, the faint smell of wine and roasted garlic hanging in the air. The table between us felt suddenly too small, too fragile to hold everything that was happening.

Damon’s hand was still on my arm. His fingers pressed into my skin, not hard enough to hurt, but firm enough to remind me that he still thought he could control me.

I looked at him, and for the first time, I saw it all clearly. The cr

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    SURPRISE WAITING DOWNSTAIRS

    ~~Hazel’s POV~~The smooth hum of the air conditioning was the only sound echoing through my top-floor corner office.After the boardroom session wrapped up, I didn't spend another second dwelling on Damon or Melissa. They were trapped in the net I had cast, and the clock was ticking down. E&H Investments had dozens of multimillion-euro real estate portfolios across Europe that required my attention, and I threw myself into the work for the next eight hours.By half-past four in the afternoon, the bright Roman sun was still pouring through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. I was reviewing an acquisition contract for a luxury resort property in Amalfi when a soft knock sounded at my door.Lisa pushed the door open, a wide, sly grin playing on her lips."Miss Sinclair," Lisa said, leaning against the doorframe. "You're still working overtime?""Just finishing the Amalfi risk assessments," I replied without looking up from my screen, my fingers tapping against the keyboard. "Is everyth

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    WORSE THAN EXPECTED

    ~~Damon’s POV~~I pushed open the double doors of Boardroom A, stepping onto the thick, plush carpet with a confident stride that I had practiced in the mirror that morning. Still, sweat prickled at the back of my neck beneath the stiff collar of my tailored suit. Melissa walked half a step behind me, clutching her tablet so tightly her knuckles had gone white. Two of our senior Moretti Group executives, Arthur and David, followed closely, their presence meant to back us up, though I could feel the tension radiating off them as well.Around the massive mahogany conference table sat seven senior board directors of E&H Investments. At the center of the table, sitting in the chief investor’s chair like she had been born for it, was Hazel.She looked imposing. The sharp charcoal-grey suit she wore was perfectly tailored, not a single crease out of place. Her dark hair was pulled back into a sleek, severe style that left her face completely open — cold, beautiful, and completely unreadable

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    EMERGENCY MEETING WITH MORETTI GROUP

    ~~Hazel's POV~~The morning sun broke through the heavy glass windows of the master suite, casting long, golden streaks across the hardwood floor.I stood in front of the full-length mirror, smoothing down the front of my tailored charcoal-grey pantsuit. The sharp, double-breasted cut hugging my waist felt like armor. I wore a crimson silk blouse underneath, the collar buttoned crisp and clean, and paired it with six-inch black stilettos.Behind me, the bathroom door clicked open. Kai stepped out, drying his dark hair with a white towel. He was already wearing his crisp trousers and a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms.He stopped in his tracks, his dark eyes sweeping down my suit, taking in every inch of my stance with slow, burning approval."You look deadly, bellisima," he murmured, tossing the towel aside as he walked over to stand behind me."Good," I said smoothly, turning my head to look at him in the mirror as I fastened a pair of diamond stud earring

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    KILLING MY PRIDE

    I turned to face him, standing in the middle of his living room. I rubbed the back of my neck, staring down at his hardwood floors before forcing my eyes up to meet his."Look..." I started, my jaw tight. "I didn't come here to apologize, alright? You know I don't apologize to anybody."Reed raised a single eyebrow, a faint, cynical smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Clearly.""Shut up and listen," I growled softly, though there was no real bite to it. I let out a long, heavy breath, dropping my hands to my sides. "I came to tell you that you're an idiot," I started, my voice gravelly.Reed raised an eyebrow, a flicker of dry sarcasm breaking through his stoic mask. "Good to know a week of my absence didn't soften your charm, Boss.""And," I continued, stepping further into his living room and looking him dead in the eye, "I came to admit that I was a complete bastard to you."Reed went quiet. The defensive tension in his broad shoulders visibly faltered, his sharp eyes searchi

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    HE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND

    ~~Kai’s POV~~I stared at Hazel, utterly convinced she had lost her mind."What?!" I repeated, my eyebrows pulling down into a sharp glare. "No. Absolutely not. I don't apologize to anybody.""You apologized to me," Hazel countered instantly, her chin lifting with that unyielding, fearless confidence that always threw me off balance."That's completely different," I growled softly, brushing my hand through my hair as I tried to sidestep her logic. "You're my woman. You're my heart, Hazel. That's entirely different from apologizing to one of my men.""He isn't just 'one of your men' and you know it, Kai Valentino!" Hazel said, her voice dropping into a stern, commanding tone. "Reed is your best friend. He's been standing in the trenches with you since you were teenagers! He has taken bullets for you, covered your back, and protected this family. You can't just throw him away like trash because you were having a meltdown and couldn't handle your own guilt!"I opened my mouth to argue, b

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    APOLOGIZE TO HIM

    ~~Kai’s POV~~With a harsh growl, I jammed the car into drive and sped away into the rain, doing what I always did when I didn't know how to fix a mistake: running from it.When I unlocked the front door of the penthouse, the heavy tension in my chest immediately began to thaw.The mouth-watering aroma of meat, rich tomatoes, and roasted herbs hit me the moment I stepped into the foyer. Warm light spilled across the polished floors, and soft music echoed lightly from the kitchen.I set my keys down, stepping into the living room, and froze.Hazel was standing near the marble island, wearing one of my oversized grey sweaters with the sleeves pushed up to her elbows. She was humming softly, holding a wooden spoon, her face practically glowing with a light, radiant smile I hadn't seen in months.When she turned around and saw me, her eyes lit up with pure joy."You're home early!" she beamed, setting the spoon down and rushing over to wrap her arms around my shoulders.I caught her insti

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME

    I woke up late the next morning, to sunlight streaming through the windows in my room. For a moment I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying everything from the night before–the board with all those photos of me, Kai’s intense eyes, the way he had carried me inside like I already

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    I'VE LOST EVERYTHING

    I had the divorce papers ready by evening.I called my lawyer, Mr Hartley, someone who didn't ask too many questions. I told him exactly what I wanted-a clean break. No alimony. No fighting over assets. I just wanted my freedom and my dignity, what little I had left of both.He prepared the papers q

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    NO ONE BELIEVES ME

    The emergency room was chaos.Doctors and nurses rushed past us in a blur of white coats and urgent voices. Melissa was already being taken deeper into the hospital, away from us, and Damon was following her, his hand on her shoulder, his expression a mixture of rage and desperation.I came through

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

    I stood at the top of the stairs, completely frozen, unable to move, unable to process what had just happened."No," I whispered. "No, no, no. Melissa!"I hadn't pushed her.I hadn't meant for this to happen.It was an accident.But she was lying at the bottom of the stairs, not moving, and Miss Mia
