DAMON'S POV

Eve walked out and I stood in the hallway like an idiot, staring at the closed door.

She'd asked for a divorce.

Actually said the words.

Meant them.

I could still see the look on her face when she'd walked into Sophia's room. The shock, the hurt, the betrayal.

Like I'd stabbed her.

"Damon?" Sophia's voice behind me. "Are you okay?"

I turned around slowly.

She was standing in the hallway, arms wrapped around herself, looking concerned and fragile.

The same woman who'd just

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE LAWYER'S CALL

    EVE'S POV Monday morning I woke up to my phone ringing. I answered, still groggy. "Hello?" "Eve, we have a problem." I sat up. "What kind of problem?" "Sophia's lawyer called me an hour ago. They're rejecting our counter-offer and they want an answer on their original settlement terms by end of day today. If we don't agree, they're filing charges tomorrow morning." "Tomorrow? I thought we had until next week..." "They moved up the timeline. My guess is they want to force your hand before you have time to build a proper defense." I got out of bed, paced Jessica's small bedroom. "What are the terms again?" "Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, public apology, no-contact agreement, and they're back to requiring the psychiatric evaluation." "They dropped that before..." "And now they're reinstating it. This is a pressure tactic, Eve. They're trying to scare you into settling." "It's working." "I know this is hard but we need to make a decision today. Either we accept thei

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE WEEK AFTER

    Seven days passed.Seven days of living at Jessica's, sleeping in her spare room, pretending I was fine when I was falling apart. Seven days of Damon calling, texting, leaving voicemails I didn't listen to.Seven days of trying to figure out how to survive what came next.The morning sickness had started.It was terrible, bad enough that I had to be careful about what I ate and when. Jessica noticed but didn't say anything, just kept crackers by my bed and ginger tea in the kitchen.I'd been avoiding the doctor.Trying to avoid making it real by seeing medical professionals, hearing the heartbeat, all of it.But on day seven, Jessica finally put her foot down."You need to see a doctor," she said Saturday morning. "You collapsed once already. You need to make sure the baby's okay.""I'm fine...""You're not fine. You're stressed, you're barely eating, you're going through a divorce. That's not fine. That's high-risk pregnancy territory.""I don't have a regular OB yet...""So we'll f

    DAMON'S POV Eve walked out and I stood in the hallway like an idiot, staring at the closed door. She'd asked for a divorce. Actually said the words. Meant them. I could still see the look on her face when she'd walked into Sophia's room. The shock, the hurt, the betrayal. Like I'd stabbed her. "Damon?" Sophia's voice behind me. "Are you okay?" I turned around slowly. She was standing in the hallway, arms wrapped around herself, looking concerned and fragile. The same woman who'd just told my wife that I'd given up on her. "What the hell was that?" I asked. Sophia blinked. "What?" "What you said to Eve. About me giving up on her. About being just the wife. What the hell was that?" "I was defending myself..." "You told her she was just the wife. You told her I'd already given up on her. You made it sound like she meant nothing." "She was attacking me..." "So you decided to destroy my marriage completely?" My voice was getting louder. "You stood there and told my wife t

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    I'LL FIGHT

    The words came out calm, certain, final. Damon's face went white. "What?" "I want a divorce. I'm done with this. Done fighting for a marriage you've already checked out of." "I haven't checked out..." "You have. You just don't want to admit it. But I'm admitting it for both of us. This is over." "Eve, no..." "Yes. I'll have my lawyer send you papers. You can sign them or fight them but either way, I'm done." I turned and walked out of Sophia's room. Down the hallway toward the front door. Damon followed me. "Eve, wait. Please. We can work this out." "There's nothing to work out. You made your choice, so stick with it" "I didn't choose anything..." "You chose her. Like you've been choosing her for months. I'm just finally accepting it." I grabbed my suitcase from the bedroom. Sophia appeared in the hallway, watching with those wide calculating eyes. "You got what you wanted," I said to her. "Congratulations." "Eve, I never wanted to hurt you..." "Yes you did. You wante

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE FINAL STRAW

    I went back to the penthouse on Thursday afternoon. Not to move back in, or to reconcile. Just to get the rest of my things. The lawyer meeting that morning had been productive. She was sharp, experienced, and didn't sugarcoat how bad the assault case looked. But she also thought we could fight it, thought Sophia's demand for half a million was excessive enough to work in our favor. She'd asked for two weeks to build a defense strategy before we responded to the settlement offer. I'd agreed and left her office feeling slightly less hopeless than I'd felt in days. Now I just needed to pack up what was left of my life at the penthouse and move on. I'd texted Damon that morning. Me: Coming by at 2 to get my things. Please don't be there. He'd responded immediately. Damon: We need to talk. Please. Let me explain about yesterday. Me: There's nothing to explain. Just don't be there. Damon: I'll be at the office. But Eve, please. We need to talk soon. I didn't respond to that. Just

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE NO SHOW

    I got to the coffee shop fifteen minutes early. Wanted to be settled before Damon arrived, wanted to have the upper hand of already being there when he walked in. Ordered a decaf latte because caffeine was off limits now, found a table near the back where we could talk without being overheard, and waited. Two o'clock came and went. No Damon. I checked my phone. No messages, no calls, nothing. Maybe he was running late. Traffic, a meeting that went long, something came up. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and kept waiting. Two fifteen. Two thirty. Still nothing. I texted him. Me: I'm here. Where are you? The message showed as delivered but not read. Two forty-five. I ordered another decaf latte I didn't want just so I wouldn't feel awkward sitting there alone. The barista gave me a sympathetic look when I picked it up. She thought I was being stood up on a date. She wasn't wrong. Three o'clock. I called him. Straight to voicemail. "Hey, it's me. I'm at the coff
