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 BLOOD AND LOYALTY
~~Kai’s POV~~The air inside the soundproofed basement of the Valentino estate was heavy with the metallic tang of blood and damp concrete.I stood under the single flickering overhead bulb, slowly unwrapping the leather tape from around my knuckles. At my feet, two mid-level loan sharks from the docks were groaning, curled into tight, bleeding balls on the stain-covered floor. They had made the foolish mistake of trying to skim three hundred thousand off the family’s harbor shipments, assuming I was too distracted by corporate affairs to notice.They were wrong."You have until midnight to wire every last cent back into the family account," I said, my voice dropping into a low baritone that made both men flinch violently. "If the balance is missing even a single euro when the clock strikes twelve, I won't send collectors. I'll come back myself and I won’t show mercy this time."“Take care of them!” I ordered my men.Without waiting for their frantic, bloodied nods, I tossed the crims
From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress SO IT'S YOU
I couldn't sleep.I lay in the guest bedroom for hours, staring at the ceiling, listening to the sounds of the house. At some point around 2am, I gave up pretending and went downstairs to the living room. I curled up on one of the couches with a blanket, my mind racing with everything I had heard at
From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress FINDING HER
I didn't sleep that night. I lay in the guest bedroom, which had become my usual bedroom even though I was supposed to be married, and I listened to the sounds of the mansion settling around me. I listened to Damon's footsteps as he moved through the house. I listened to him talking on the phone to
From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress THE ANNIVERSARY
***** ~~ Hazel's POV ~~ ***** I had been planning this day for weeks. Three years. Today marked exactly three years since I became Mrs. Damon Moretti. Three years of a marriage that was supposed to change everything and instead had slowly, quietly, broken me in ways I didn't know a person could
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
