Damien

Getting Vivian out of the event became my first priority the moment I noticed the tension in her face. I placed a hand at the small of her back and guided her through the crowd, ignoring the curious looks following us. She kept glancing over her shoulder until we reached the waiting car.

“Damien, wait,” she said as I opened the door. “Is everything going according to plan?”

Her voice carried urgency, and the worry in her eyes made my chest tighten.

“Yes,” I assured her. “Adrian will n

  • MY HUSBAND KILLED OUR MARRIAGE. I BURIED HIS EMPIRE.    Chapter 60

    VivianThe officer staring opposite me was already sweating bullets.His nameplate said District Supervisor Cole. He was a small man in a cheap suit that was too tight around his belly. His office was small too, with no windows, just flickering fluorescent lights and stacks of files that looked like they hadn't been touched in years. An American flag in the corner, faded.I sat across from him, my hands folded neatly in my lap, my coat still on. I had not been offered water. I had not been told why I was brought here. Two men in suits had shown up at my office that morning, flashed IRS badges, and asked me to come with them for a "routine clarification." Damien told me not to go. I went anyway.Now Cole wouldn't look me in the eye. The sweat was beading on his forehead and dripping down into his collar.He calls out to me and claims that they might have made the wrong check due to their records not being updated."Miss Sinclair," he stammered, shuffling papers that he clearly hadn't r

    VIVIANThe line hummed quietly against my ear for several seconds. Adrian did not answer immediately, and for a moment, I wondered if he had decided to ignore my call completely. Then I heard the sound of his breathing, followed by his voice.“What do you want?”The heavy silence between us lasted for several seconds.“Did you call to return my daughter to me?” Adrian asked.His question irritated me immediately.“You do not have a daughter with me,” I replied.A faint silence followed my words.“Is that so?”“Yes. Whatever you think you are entitled to, you should stop assuming that I have something that belongs to you.”I could hear the restraint in his voice when he responded. “Selling off your company debts was not enough to shake me off your tail, was it?”My fingers tightened around the phone.“So you admit you have been targeting Lancaster?”The question came calmly, but I knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted me to confirm something I had no intention of confirming.“You s

    ADRIAN The silence in the boardroom settled my thoughts, and for the first time that morning, I felt completely in control. Every person around the long table had stopped speaking. No one moved unnecessarily, and no one seemed willing to meet my eyes for longer than a few seconds. The tension was obvious, but I found it calming. After everything that had happened, I needed them to understand that I was still the one making the decisions.A board member sitting at the far end of the table finally broke the silence.“Your actions are nothing short of treachery, Adrian. You have shown complete contempt for this board, and sooner or later, you will answer for it.”Several people shifted in their seats, but I kept my attention on him. His voice carried more confidence than the situation deserved, and I could already tell that he believed the rest of the board would support him.He was mistaken.“You seem very certain of yourself,” I said.“I am certain that what you are doing is unaccepta

    AdrianFive names, two separate lists, and half a billion dollars sitting untouched in his account made everything from the past few hours feel unreal, as though someone had handed him a dream far too extravagant to actually be true.He knew better than to believe that, though. None of it had been a dream.Stepping out of the bustling airport terminal, he spotted his secretary rushing toward him with an expression that screamed disbelief before she had even said a single word."Are you completely out of your mind?" she demanded the moment she reached him.He let out a short chuckle, unable to hold it back despite the seriousness written across her face."This isn't funny, Adrian," she snapped, clearly not sharing his amusement. "The board is furious. Most of them are already on their way to Lancaster headquarters as we speak."He nodded calmly, seemingly unbothered by the warning, which only deepened her exasperation as she led him toward the waiting car."They might remove you as CEO

    VivianSettling my daughter into bed took longer than usual that night, her small hands gripping the edge of her blanket as she fought against sleep despite how tired the day had clearly left her. I finally tucked the blanket around her shoulders and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before slipping quietly out of the room.Damien stood near the doorway when I stepped out, his expression carrying a weariness that hadn't been there earlier in the evening."I think I found someone willing to tell us who Adrian met with tonight," he said, his voice low despite the empty hallway around us."You've been making calls this entire time?" I asked, surprised he had managed to work through everything while we were still at the park with our daughter."Since we left," he admitted.Guilt settled heavily in my chest as I processed his words. "This is because of me, isn't it? Because of what happened tonight.""You didn't do anything wrong," he said firmly, stepping closer and resting a hand gentl

    AdrianRage simmered through every part of me, but it slowly gave way to something closer to helplessness the moment I replayed how the escort had addressed Vivian and Damien back at the gathering."What exactly is this organization?" I asked the man walking beside me, unable to hold the question back any longer. "And what rank do Vivian and her husband hold within it?"He said nothing, his silence stretching long enough that I felt a flicker of irritation rise in my chest. I could sense the quiet disdain radiating off him, though he never once looked in my direction to confirm it."You're not exactly in a position to be asking questions," he finally said, his tone flat and unbothered.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to let the comment slide. If he wouldn't give me answers, perhaps Lord Darren would. The name rolled through my mind repeatedly, yet nothing surfaced. I had spent years building connections across industries, and the fact that this name meant absolutely nothing to me on
