He married me to ruin my husband Chapter 65
Damian's house sat on quiet acreage two hours outside the city, nothing like the compound they'd raided weeks earlier. This place looked ordinary from the outside, deliberately unremarkable, the kind of property nobody would look at twice.Elena had been there a few days, and in that time she'd learned Damian’s ways carefully. Watching his every move and what he said."You're quiet tonight," Damian said, setting a cup of tea across from her at the small kitchen table."I've been thinking," Elena said."About your brother?""Yeah, about a lot of things." She wrapped her hands around the cup without drinking. "You said, when you first reached out, that you understood what it felt like to be discarded by people who should have valued you. That stuck with me."“And what do you make of it?”“I think there’s some truth to it.” Elena met his eyes. “I’m just not convinced I know the whole story yet.”Genuine interest flickered across Damian's face. "You're sharper than Marcus was. He never on

Theo called back just after noon. There was something different in his voice, but no one could quite identify it. He sounded relieved about one part of what he'd found and worried about another."I found the car," he said. "The rideshare the neighbour described. I pulled the driver's records through a contact at the company...""Where did it take her?" Xavier asked, already reaching for his keys."That's the thing. It didn't take her anywhere unusual. He dropped her at a downtown restaurant; it had valet parking and private booths. She walked in alone at nine fifteen." Theo paused. "I checked the restaurant's own reservation system. The booking was under a name we've been watching closely: Coleridge.""Damian..." Ivy said quietly."I don't have confirmation he was actually there. But the reservation, the timing and the location. It's not a coincidence, Ivy." Theo's voice became more subtle. "I don't know how to explain this in a way that won't sound scary.""Just say it already.""The

Neither of them slept properly that night, Damian's smile replaying in Ivy's mind every time she closed her eyes."He wasn't even bothered," she said, sitting up around two in the morning, giving up on sleep. "Not even slightly. A man spends weeks engineering a board vote, loses it, and walks out smiling like that's exactly how he wanted it to go.”Xavier sat up beside her, rubbing a hand over his face. "Maybe he had planned it, I mean. Maybe the vote was never actually the goal.""Then what was it for?""A distraction. Who knows? Something big enough to keep all our resources pointed in one direction while he handled something else somewhere we weren't looking." Xavier paused. " Just like the empty compound. We spent all night there while he was busy buying the votes.”Ivy went still. "If the vote was the distraction, what else was he actually doing while we were dealing with it?”"I don't know. I keep running through everything he could still want. Your father, still somewhere we ha

The boardroom filled quickly, more people than Xavier expected for an emergency session: board members, shareholder representatives, and, near the back, sitting alone with his hands folded calmly in his lap, was Damian Cole.Ivy hadn't expected him to show up in person. Watching him now, unremarkable in a grey suit, blending into a room full of similarly dressed men, she understood something about him she hadn't fully grasped before. He was a petty person.He wanted to watch this happen. Not from a report or secondhand. He wanted to be in the room when it landed.She caught his eye once, briefly, before taking her seat. He offered her the same small, courteous nod, nothing in his expression to suggest the two of them had spent an hour together in a café days earlier discussing her missing father."He's here," she murmured to Xavier as they sat down."I see him." Xavier's jaw was already tight. "Don't look at him again. Let him watch us win without the satisfaction of thinking he's rat

Xavier's phone lit up with fourteen missed calls the moment they got back into cell range, all from Halloran, the last one timestamped less than twenty minutes earlier."Something's wrong," he said, already dialling back. Ivy watched his face change from confusion to concern as Halloran picked up."Where have you been?" Halloran said, loud enough that Ivy caught most of it from the passenger seat. "I've been trying to reach you since midnight.""Dealing with a family emergency. What happened?""A special shareholder meeting's been called. It was filed at eleven last night, with minimum legal notice, and scheduled for nine this morning. A vote of no confidence in your leadership, Xavier. They're asking the board to remove you as CEO."Xavier's knuckles went tight around the phone. "That's not possible without significant shareholder support behind it. Who filed it?""A consortium. Six names, none of them individually significant, but combined they've apparently acquired enough proxy vo

They gathered everyone at the penthouse by six that evening, the coffee table covered in printouts of the satellite images, a legal pad filled with Denise's handwriting, Adrian's contacts already coordinating logistics through a separate call in the next room."Legally, we could get a warrant," Denise said, though her tone suggested she already knew the answer wasn't that simple. "But it requires probable cause a judge will actually accept, and everything we have is circumstantial enough that filing today risks a delay we don't have time for. If we're wrong about the timeline, and a judge sits on this for even twelve hours, we lose the entire window.""So the legal route is too slow?" Xavier asked."The legal route is a backup, not a plan. I'll have the paperwork ready to file the moment we have him safely out, in case any of this needs to hold up in court afterwards. Tonight, that's not where our time should go." Denise set down her pen. "You need people who know how to move quietly,
