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 befor

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    PANIC IN THE DARK

    EVE'S POV The nursery was quiet except for the soft hum of the white noise machine and Lily’s gentle breathing. I sat in the rocking chair, holding her against my chest in the dim glow of the nightlight. She had fallen asleep after her evening feed, one tiny fist curled around my shirt like she was afraid to let go. I understood the feeling completely. It had only been two days since we got her back. Two days since the nightmare of her kidnapping ended with her safe in our arms. But my body hadn’t caught up yet. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Sophia’s wild face as she clutched my baby and ran. I heard Lily’s terrified cries. I felt the emptiness in my arms all over again. “I’ve got you,” I whispered into her soft hair, rocking slowly. “Mommy’s got you. No one’s ever taking you again.” Lily sighed in her sleep, trusting and warm. The sight should have filled me with peace. Instead, something sharp and ugly twisted in my chest. My breathing started to quicken. The room felt

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    SHADOWS RETURN

    EVE'S POV The hospital room felt like a fragile bubble of peace after the storm. Lily slept soundly in the crib beside my bed, her tiny chest rising and falling in steady rhythm. I hadn’t taken my eyes off her for more than a few seconds since we got her back. Damon sat in the armchair next to me, his hand never leaving mine, even as exhaustion lined his face. The graze on his side from the fight with Alex had been stitched up, but he refused painkillers, saying he needed to stay sharp. “We really have her,” I whispered for the hundredth time, tears slipping silently down my cheeks. “She’s here, she’s safe.” Damon leaned over and kissed my temple, his voice rough with emotion. “She’s safe. We got her back, both of you.” The doctors had cleared Lily after thorough checks... mild dehydration, some bruising, but no serious injuries. She was a fighter, they said. Just like her parents. We were keeping her overnight for observation, but the relief was overwhelming. For the first t

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    FOUND

    The boathouse smelled of damp wood, river water, and victory laced with terror. Damon’s arms were locked around both of us so tightly I could barely breathe, but I didn’t care. Lily was here. Warm, alive. Her tiny body pressed between us as she cried those heartbreaking newborn sobs that tore straight through my soul. “We got her,” Damon whispered against my hair, his voice cracking for the first time all night. “We got our baby back, Eve. She’s here. She’s safe.” I couldn’t speak. I just held on, one arm around Lily and the other clinging to Damon’s back, my face buried in his chest. Tears poured down my cheeks uncontrollably. Lily’s little fists grabbed at my shirt, her cries slowly quieting as she recognized our voices, our smell, our touch. The three of us knelt on the dirty floor, tangled together like we would never let go again. “My baby,” I sobbed, pressing kiss after kiss to her soft head. “Mommy’s here, daddy’s here. We’ve got you. We’ve got you forever.” Damon’s shoulde

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE MONSTER UNMASKED

    EVE'S POV The abandoned boathouse at the edge of the river smelled of rot, saltwater, and fear. Police boats and Damon’s private security teams had the entire area surrounded. Helicopters thumped overhead, their spotlights cutting through the night like knives. I stood behind a police barricade, Lily’s blanket clutched in my hands, my body shaking so hard I could barely stand. Damon was a few feet ahead, coordinating with the lead negotiator and SWAT commander. Sophia was inside and cornered. After the botched raid and her temporary escape with Lily, the net had finally closed. But she still had my daughter. Our baby. The thought made my stomach twist into knots. “Stay back,” Damon told me, his voice rough. He had a fresh bandage on his side from the injury during the warehouse fight with Alex, but he refused to leave my side. “Let them handle the entry, we’ll get Lily out safely.” I nodded, but my eyes never left the boathouse. My sister...my own blood... had done this. Taken my

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    CONFRONTATION

    DAMON'S POV The warehouse smelled of rust, oil, and fear. I moved through the darkness like a shadow, my tactical vest heavy against my chest, blood already trickling from a graze on my arm from the earlier chaos. Eve was safe behind the police line with the operators, but I had broken away the moment we got confirmation Alex was holed up here alone. Sophia had slipped away with Lily again in the raid gone wrong, but this bastard... the one who had obsessed over my wife, sabotaged my company, and helped take my daughter... was finally within reach. My earpiece crackled. “Boss, we have visual. He’s in the central loading bay. Armed, but no sign of the baby.” Good, Lily wasn’t here. That meant I could end this without holding back. I kicked open a side door and stepped into the dim light of the loading bay. Alex Rivera stood in the center, gun in hand, his usually polished appearance disheveled... shirt torn, face bruised from the earlier scuffle. His eyes lit up with that sick, ob

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    RAID GONE WRONG

    EVE'S POV The warehouse district was a labyrinth of decay and shadows. Our armored SUVs cut through the night like predators, headlights off, relying on the chopper’s thermal guidance. Damon sat rigid beside me in the back seat, one hand locked with mine, the other gripping his phone with the live feed. His jaw was clenched so tight I could see the muscle ticking. The operators in the front were silent, weapons ready, and bodies tense. I was barely holding it together. My chest felt like it was being crushed. Every breath was a battle. Lily was in there...my tiny, innocent baby girl ...with Sophia. The woman who had tormented us for years, the sister who had always been the favorite, the golden child, now reduced to this monster who had stolen my daughter. “I should be the one going in alone,” I whispered, voice cracking. “She’s my sister, maybe she’ll listen to me.” Damon’s grip tightened painfully. “No. You stay right behind me. We do this together, but you do not put yourself
