Joseph listened quietly, rubbing his jaw as he processed my words.

"I need you to use your network, Joseph," I pleaded, reaching across the table to lay my hand over his—a gesture I knew he wouldn't refuse. "You have men in the shadows. You have leverage over regional syndicates that nobody else can touch. Help me stop her before she ruins Melissa's entire future. You weren't there when Melisa was growing up, Joseph... you left us. Carlos was the one who stepped up after Hazel's mother died.

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PUNISH ME INSTEAD

    Kai’s POV"So you're really playing personal driver today?" Hazel asked, looking across the slick leather interior of the SUV as I adjusted my grip on the steering wheel.The morning sun was barely peeking over the Roman skyline, casting long shadows across the pavement. I had dismissed every single guard from our normal security detail back at the penthouse. After what happened near the market two days ago, I didn't trust any of those idiots to keep her safe today. I was taking her to E&H headquarters myself—no convoy, no distractions."I'm not taking any chances anymore, Hazel," I said flatly, flicking my eyes to the rearview mirror. "Not after yesterday.""Kai, you dismissed the entire team," she pointed out softly, setting her tablet down on her lap. "Was that really necessary?""Where were those guards when Diego Sullivan cornered you?" My tone turned instantly sharp, my jaw clenching hard. "The first time I left your security entirely to Marcus and Roberto, they almost let you g

    Joseph listened quietly, rubbing his jaw as he processed my words. "I need you to use your network, Joseph," I pleaded, reaching across the table to lay my hand over his—a gesture I knew he wouldn't refuse. "You have men in the shadows. You have leverage over regional syndicates that nobody else can touch. Help me stop her before she ruins Melissa's entire future. You weren't there when Melisa was growing up, Joseph... you left us. Carlos was the one who stepped up after Hazel's mother died. He gave us a life. But right now, Carlos can't help with this. You are the only one who can." A painful flicker of guilt passed over Joseph's features at the mention of his absence during Melissa's childhood, but l didn’t care because l needed leverage against him so he doesn’t refuse my offer. He turned his hand over, intertwining his fingers with mine. "Clara, listen to me very carefully," Joseph said, his tone turning grave and deadly serious. "What you are asking for... it isn't simple."

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    IT'S ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER

    Clara’s POV I stood before the full-length mirror in my dressing room, slowly fastening a pair of diamond earrings. My hands were steady on the outside, but inside, my chest felt hollow, weighed down by an old, familiar ache I hadn't felt in nearly two decades. "Are you sure you don't want the driver to take you, darling?" Carlos's deep voice echoed from the doorway. He leaned against the frame, watching me with that calm, watchful gaze of his. I turned smoothly, forcing a soft, effortless smile onto my lips. "No, Carlos. I’m just meeting a few of the charity committee women for lunch and some shopping along Via Condotti. I’d rather drive myself today. It gives me a little peace." Carlos walked over, leaning down to press a kiss against my cheek. "Don't stay out too late. We have dinner with the Andersons tonight." "I won't," I murmured, patting his arm. Ten minutes later, I was behind the wheel of my car, navigating away from the bustling city center and heading toward the

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    BACK ON TRACK

    Damon’s POVI slouched back in the high-backed leather chair in my home office, unbuttoning the top three buttons of my dress shirt and dragging a hand down my face. The mahogany desk in front of me was a disaster zone—blueprints for the Grand Crest Towers project unfolded over half-empty coffee cups, financial reports scribbled with frantic red ink, and three mobile phones lined up on silent, glowing with missed calls.The room itself was usually the one place in the house where I could think clearly. Everything had its place, from the dark wooden shelves lining the walls to the expensive leather-bound files arranged neatly inside the cabinets. Tonight, however, even the order of the room seemed to have surrendered to the chaos of the project. Papers were stacked on top of other papers, several pages had been folded and marked with notes, and the soft glow from the desk lamp did little to make the mountain of work in front of me look any less overwhelming.

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    Venom and Shadows

    Melisa’s POV I gripped the steering wheel of my Mercedes so hard my knuckles turned white, my dark red manicured nails biting into the leather. The glass skyscrapers of Rome blurred past my window, but my mind was stuck on a single, suffocating realization. Three major investors. Three top-tier raw material suppliers. They had all pulled out of the Moretti Group's upcoming contract with E&H within the last forty-eight hours. No warning, no real explanation—just smooth, rehearsed excuses about "shifting priorities." Damon thought it was just bad market timing. He was frantically pacing his home office right now trying to secure new supply lines. But I wasn't stupid. Three major pillars of our business don't just collapse simultaneously by accident. Someone was pulling the strings behind the curtain. Someone with immense leverage, infinite money, and a bitter, burning grudge. Hazel. I pulled into the private drivew

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    GOING TO BE YOUR PERSONAL DRIVER

    Hazel’s POVThe penthouse was far too quiet.Ever since Kai stormed out this morning after the incident in the alley, the silence in the apartment had been suffocating. I couldn't focus on my book, couldn't sit still, and couldn't stop checking the clock on the wall. Every time the wind rattled the terrace doors, my stomach twisted into a tighter knot.I had spent the last two hours in the kitchen, cooking his favorite pasta dinner just to keep my hands busy, but the food was already sitting warm on the stove, and the hours kept slipping by.Finally, just past nine o'clock, the private elevator chimed.I dropped the dish towel I was holding and practically ran to the foyer.The heavy doors slid open, and Kai stepped inside. His dark coat was soaked from the rain, his hair slightly damp, and his face was carved out of exhaustion and grim resolve. But the second his dark eyes met mine, the harshness on his features melted away, replaced by that deep, fierce warmth he only ever showed me

    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

    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

    Damon left early in the morning.He didn't tell me where he was going or when he would be back. He just kissed Melissa goodbye at the kitchen table while I was making breakfast, and then he was gone. Gone to handle the Moretti family business. Gone to do whatever it was that men like him did when th
