The gala kiss had been a spectacle.

But Damien wasn’t finished making me his performance.

The following week, he announced—without consulting me—that there would be a charity ball held in my name.

Not ours. Not his. Mine.

“People love a tragic story with a polished ending,” he told me smoothly as the seamstress pinned fabric at my waist. “The orphan saved by a powerful man. The perfect charity face. You’ll thank me when the world adores you.”

I didn’t answer. My silence was my only rebellion.

But Damien thrived on silence—he filled it with his own narrative, his own control.

The night of the ball, I felt like a doll wrapped in diamonds and silk. Every step echoed like a sentence in a story I hadn’t written.

Ethan was there, of course. He stood at the edge of the ballroom like a shadow carved in defiance, watching every move Damien made.

Our eyes met once across the glittering hall.

And that one look nearly unraveled me.

Halfway through the night, Damien leaned close, his lips brushing

  • MARRIED TO MY ENEMY’S BILLIONAIRE BROTHER   Chapter 47

    The city was alive beneath Clara’s feet, neon lights painting her apartment walls with streaks of gold and violet. Yet no matter how alive the streets felt, inside her chest, a storm raged—one of longing, fear, and the thrill of newfound power. She had chosen herself, yes, but she knew both men would not let her walk away easily. Not Damien. Not Ethan.Clara’s POVShe paced the polished floors, bare feet whispering against the hardwood. Her hands brushed the walls, tracing shadows cast by the city lights outside. Every corner of the apartment seemed suffocating, filled with memories of the last few weeks—the gala, the standoff, Damien’s dominance, Ethan’s fire.Her phone buzzed. A message. Damien.“I’ll see you tonight. No games. Just me. Decide if you want to run or stand with me.”Clara’s pulse quickened. Part of her wanted to ignore it, to revel in her independence. Another part—a deeper, primal part—wanted to answer, to give in, even if only for a second.Before she could respond,

  • MARRIED TO MY ENEMY’S BILLIONAIRE BROTHER   Chapter 46

    The city skyline stretched beneath Clara like a sea of glittering lights. From her apartment balcony, the wind teased her hair, brushing against her cheeks as if urging her to breathe, to think, to reclaim herself entirely. The night felt endless, but for the first time, she didn’t feel small within it. She was untethered, alive, and dangerously aware of the storm her choices had ignited.Inside, the apartment was quiet, a silence she had almost forgotten. No Damien, no Ethan, no tension pressing her into corners she didn’t belong in. And yet, the air seemed charged, as though the universe was waiting for her next move, for the next collision.Clara’s POVShe paced slowly, her bare feet silent against the polished floors. Her mind spun with the echoes of the last weeks: Damien’s intensity, his magnetic pull, the sharp edges of his dominance; Ethan’s protection, his fire, and the way he made her feel seen in ways she never had before.It had come to this—she had chosen herself. And yet

    Morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows, dust motes dancing lazily in the golden rays. The penthouse, usually filled with the hum of activity, felt unusually silent. Clara stood near the window, her fingers brushing the cold glass, tracing shapes she didn’t understand. The night’s chaos still clung to her—Damien’s intensity, Ethan’s desperation—but for the first time, she felt something else: clarity.She was choosing herself.Clara’s POVThe choice didn’t feel easy. It felt terrifying. But with it came a strange sense of liberation. For years, she had been molded by expectations—her family, society, the men who claimed her heart. Now, for the first time, she was claiming herself.Her gaze fell on the empty space beside her bed. Damien had left after their confrontation, his dark presence lingering like smoke. Ethan had gone as well, storming out with frustration and helplessness in equal measure. Clara exhaled slowly, letting the tension leave her body in waves.“I’m not t

    Clara’s world had narrowed to two men and one impossible decision. The penthouse felt smaller, heavier, as if the air itself were pressing down on her chest. Her pulse raced, her hands shook, and every rational thought had fled, leaving only chaos and desire.Damien knelt beside her, his hand still clutching hers with gentle firmness. Ethan stood before them, jaw tight, fists curled, but his eyes were soft, pleading, desperate.“Clara,” Damien murmured, his voice low, intimate, dangerous. “Look at me. Not him. Only me.”Her gaze flickered to Ethan. “Clara, please,” he begged. “You don’t have to stay with him. You don’t have to—”“I know,” she whispered, voice breaking. “I know exactly what I feel.”The room seemed to hold its breath.Damien’s hand lifted to cup her cheek, thumb brushing along her trembling lips. “Then tell me,” he said, voice rough with emotion he rarely showed. “Say it. Say that you’re mine.”Her chest heaved. Her eyes darted to Ethan. His expression was raw, vulnera

  • MARRIED TO MY ENEMY’S BILLIONAIRE BROTHER   Chapter 43

    The morning light crept into the penthouse, soft and unrelenting, bathing the room in gold that contrasted sharply with the chaos of the night before. Clara had barely slept, her thoughts tangled around Damien like a noose—tight, suffocating, irresistible.She sat on the edge of the bed, fingers tracing patterns on the silk sheets, reliving the dance, the standoff, the whispers, the unspoken words. Every touch, every glance, haunted her.And yet, despite the turmoil, the most pressing thought wasn’t fear. It wasn’t anger. It was him—Damien.The sound of footsteps drew her gaze. He emerged from the shadows of the bedroom doorway, shirt unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled, a picture of effortless dominance. His eyes swept over her, dark, piercing, claiming.“You’re awake,” he stated, not as a question.Clara swallowed hard. “I… I couldn’t sleep.”His smile was faint but full of something dangerous. “Neither could I.”The air between them thickened, heavy with tension and unspoken d

    The gala had ended hours ago, but the night refused to loosen its grip on Clara’s chest.The mansion was quieter than she had ever known it, its wide halls echoing with the hush of slumber. Yet Clara’s mind was far from still. The echo of Damien’s hand on hers, his lips brushing the back of her fingers in front of the world, and the whispers that had followed them lingered like a curse.She paced her room, her gown pooled at her feet like a puddle of moonlight, hair unpinned and tumbling down her shoulders. Every part of her screamed to tear away from him, to despise the way he had turned her into a pawn in his game. But buried deep beneath that fury, something far more dangerous throbbed—her body still remembered the warmth of his hand, the steady pressure of his palm against her back, as though the gesture had been real.“Stop it,” she whispered to herself, clutching the vanity table. “It was just an act. Just an act…”But when she closed her eyes, she could still hear Damien’s voic
