The car rolled to a stop in front of Damien’s penthouse, but neither moved.

The driver waited, then discreetly slipped away, leaving them in suffocating silence.

Clara’s fingers gripped the door handle, but she didn’t open it. Her heart raced, her mind a storm.

She had asked for the truth. Damien had given it to her. And now it sat between them like a knife—gleaming, sharp, demanding blood.

Finally, she turned to him. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Damien’s throat worked. His eyes held hers, burning. “Because I was terrified of losing you.”

Her chest clenched. She wanted to scream at him, to shake him, to kiss him and to hug him. The whirlwind of emotions threatened to crush her.

“You think hiding the truth protects me?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “All it does is make me wonder what else you’re keeping buried.”

He reached for her then, his hand closing around hers, firm and desperate. “There’s nothing else, Clara. This is the skeleton in my closet. The only one. And now yo

  • MARRIED TO MY ENEMY’S BILLIONAIRE BROTHER   Chapter 66

    The cameras were already flashing before Damien and Clara even stepped out of the elevator. The boardroom war had ended with no vote, no resolution—just a battlefield littered with silence, fractured trust, and Ethan’s poisonous smile. But the war wasn’t over. It was spilling out into the world now.“Mr. Vale! Damien! Is it true your company was built on dirty money?”“Clara, did you know? Were you complicit?”“Is Vale Enterprises under federal investigation?”Reporters swarmed the marble lobby, microphones like weapons thrust forward. Clara instinctively tightened her grip on Damien’s arm, shielding herself against the storm.“Keep your head down,” he murmured, his voice low but steady, his hand anchoring her against his side. He didn’t break stride, didn’t flinch when someone shouted criminal, or when a camera nearly smacked into Clara’s face.Outside, the black car was already waiting. The driver threw open the door, and Damien guided her in before climbing in himself. The moment

    The boardroom at Vale Enterprises was a glass fortress in the sky, overlooking the sprawling city below. The air was thick with tension, every seat filled with shareholders, executives, and men and women who had once worshipped Damien’s power. Now, they eyed him with suspicion, whispers already swirling like vultures circling a wounded beast.At the head of the table, Damien sat like a king on trial. Clara was at his side, her presence steadying him even as her heart pounded. His jaw was tight, his gaze sharp, but beneath the icy control she could see it—the fury. The defiance. The promise that he would not bow.The doors opened, and Ethan Vale strolled in. Dressed immaculately, his smug grin was a dagger meant to wound. He didn’t bother hiding his satisfaction as he took a seat opposite Damien.“Shall we begin?” Ethan said smoothly, his voice carrying across the room like oil on water.The chairman cleared his throat. “The matter at hand concerns allegations raised against Mr. Damie

    When she finally stepped into the penthouse, the air felt heavier than the night before. Damien stood at the window, shoulders squared, the world sprawling beneath him like a kingdom he was determined not to lose. His reflection in the glass was unreadable, but his voice carried sharp when he spoke without turning. “Where were you?” The question wasn’t casual. It was low, controlled, simmering with something darker. Clara’s chest tightened. “I went to see Ethan.” At that, Damien spun. His eyes were fire and ice all at once. “You what?” She lifted her chin, though her pulse raced. “I couldn’t sit here while he tore you apart. I had to face him. I had to hear it for myself.” Damien closed the distance between them in long, powerful strides, stopping just short of touching her. His hands curled into fists at his sides. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Ethan will twist this, Clara. He’ll use you. He’ll use us.” “I don’t care what he uses,” she shot back, her voice b

    If Ethan thought he could rip Damien apart and drag her down with him, he was wrong.By morning, Clara was dressed, her resolve as sharp as the heels that clicked against the marble lobby. She didn’t tell Damien where she was going. He would’ve stopped her.But this wasn’t Damien’s fight anymore. This was hers.Ethan’s penthouse was the opposite of Damien’s—dark glass walls, cold steel, a place designed to intimidate rather than comfort. The guards at the door hesitated, but when Clara lifted her chin, fire blazing in her eyes, they let her through.He was waiting.Ethan leaned casually against the bar, a glass of whiskey in his hand, as though he had known she’d come. His smile was slow, poisonous.“Well, well,” he drawled. “The beautiful Mrs. Vale. To what do I owe the pleasure?”Clara’s fists clenched. “Cut the act. You’re not destroying Damien without going through me first.”He chuckled, swirling the amber liquid. “Through you? Oh, Clara. That’s the plan.”Her breath hitched, but

    The limousine door slammed shut, sealing Damien and Clara away from the chaos they had just escaped. But the silence inside was far heavier than the shouting they’d left behind.Damien’s hands were braced against his knees, his head bowed, shadows cutting sharp angles across his face.Clara watched him, her heart twisting. He had defended her with fire, yet when Ethan’s accusations struck, he hadn’t denied them. That silence gnawed at her now.“Damien.” Her voice cracked in the confined space.He didn’t answer.“Look at me,” she pressed, her hands trembling as she reached for him. “Tell me it’s not true. Tell me Ethan is just twisting things to ruin you.”His head lifted slowly. His eyes weren’t the eyes of the unshakable billionaire the world feared. They were tired, haunted, almost… defeated.“I can’t,” he said quietly.The words shattered something inside her.Clara’s throat went dry. “You can’t… or you won’t?”His jaw tightened. “Because there’s truth in what he said.”Her breath
