Damien stood motionless for a fraction of a second before his long strides carried him across the terrace.

His expression remained unreadable, yet the tension radiating from him seemed to alter the very atmosphere.

Brian noticed him approaching and their eyes met across the garden.

Brian’s jaw tightened imperceptibly before he looked down at the unconscious woman leaning against his shoulder. Then he slowly stood, supporting Katie carefully so she wouldn’t fall.

  • HIS UNCLE’S WIFE: BILLIONAIRE’S REGRET    Chapter 26

    Damien stood motionless for a fraction of a second before his long strides carried him across the terrace.His expression remained unreadable, yet the tension radiating from him seemed to alter the very atmosphere.Brian noticed him approaching and their eyes met across the garden.Brian’s jaw tightened imperceptibly before he looked down at the unconscious woman leaning against his shoulder. Then he slowly stood, supporting Katie carefully so she wouldn’t fall.His voice was calm, but every word carried restrained bitterness. “Uncle…”Damien stopped directly before them.Brian held his gaze without flinching. “Why did you abandon your wife long enough for her to become this drunk?”There was an unmistakable pain with the accusation, mixed with venom that had clearly been buried for a very long time.Damien’s eyes darkened. “I didn’t abandon her.”Brian let out a humorless laugh. “Really?” His gaze shifted briefly toward Katie before returning to Damien. “Because I found her alone, ba

    Damien inclined his head politely toward the audience before making his way to the stage. The applause followed him until he reached the podium. Katie watched him walk under the lights while the host handed him the microphone. Even from a distance, Damien commanded the entire room without saying a single word. The moment he stepped away from the table, Vivian’s pleasant expression disappeared. She looked at Katie from head to toe, her lips curling into a smile that carried no warmth whatsoever. “So…” she said quietly. “Congratulations.” Katie looked at her politely. “Thank you.” Vivian folded her arms. “I hope you understand what you’ve married into.” Katie remained calm. “I believe I do.” “No.” Vivian smiled faintly. “You really don’t.” Her gaze drifted toward the stage where Damien had begun speaking. Without waiting for an answer, she turned on her heel and walked away gracefully, disappearing into the crowd. Katie released a slow breath. She wasn’t sure whether Vivian dis

    The black Porsche rolled smoothly into the grand entrance canopy of the Imperial Grand Convention Center, where luxury vehicles had already formed an endless line.Guests dressed in designer gowns and tailored tuxedos stepped onto the crimson carpet one after another as photographers lined both sides behind velvet barriers.The moment Damien’s vehicle came to a stop, several reporters immediately recognized the license plate.“That’s Damien Stark!”“He actually came!”“And Mrs. Stark is with him!” Camera flashes instantly erupted.Damien stepped out first. Tonight, the usually reserved billionaire carried an even stronger presence. His black tuxedo fit him flawlessly, every movement composed and controlled as he walked around the vehicle before opening Katie’s door himself.He extended his hand and she accepted it. The instant she stepped onto the red carpet… The photographers exploded into action.“Mr. Stark!”“Mrs. Stark! This way!”“Look over here!”“Can we have one picture togethe

    Evelyn smiled politely before answering. “Mr. Stark said that from the moment you step into that gala tonight, you are not to leave his side for even a second.”Katie frowned slightly. “Why?”Evelyn hesitated before lowering her voice. “His exact words were…” She looked directly at Katie. “‘Tonight, everyone will be watching my wife. Some will come to congratulate her… and some will come hoping to use her against me. Tell her not to trust anyone who approaches her alone.’”Katie’s fingers unconsciously tightened around the sparkling gown. Damien’s warning from the previous day immediately resurfaced inside her mind.“Many people hate me… and now that our marriage has been made public, they’ll come after you.”Katie lowered her eyes quietly. “I understand.”Evelyn smiled reassuringly. “There’s no reason to be frightened, Mrs. Stark. Mr. Stark’s security team will also be present throughout the evening.”Katie nodded gently. “I’m not frightened.”She wasn’t. What unsettled her was the r

    The rays of morning sunlight slipped through the half-open curtains, spreading a warm golden glow across the bedroom.Katie stirred beneath the blanket, she remained caught between sleep and consciousness, her breathing slow and steady as fragments of the previous day drifted through her mind.The hospital, Donald's accident, Damien’s father asking for grandchildren.Then…Damien’s voice echoed once more inside her thoughts.“If we’re going to continue living as husband and wife… perhaps we should begin doing the things a husband and wife are expected to do.”Her eyelashes fluttered open. The unfamiliar scent surrounding her made her freeze before she even moved.It wasn’t her pillow nor her floral fragrance she had grown accustomed to in her room. It was something warmer, something distinctly masculine.Her heart skipped. Very slowly, Katie lowered her gaze and found a masculine arm resting securely around her waist.Her eyes widened and her entire body went rigid. She looked upward.

    Damien held Katie’s gaze without looking away as the question lingered between them.“What exactly are you thinking?” she asked again, her voice calm despite the uncertainty she was trying so hard to conceal.Damien sighed. “My father isn’t asking for something unreasonable. He believes we’ve started a real marriage, so does everyone else.”Katie’s fingers tightened unconsciously around the sleeve of her coat. Damien looked toward the large hospital window overlooking the gardens before speaking again. “If we’re going to continue living as husband and wife…”He paused briefly. “Perhaps we should begin doing the things a husband and wife are expected to do.”Katie understood exactly what he meant and her heartbeat became uneven, She drew a slow breath before forcing herself to remain composed. “Okay...”Damien looked back at her. “You agree?”Katie managed a small smile. “We’re married.” She lowered her eyes briefly. “I knew that eventually we’d have to stop pretending in certain area
