Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally Chapter 58: Paid In Full
Ariana Pov Nathan's glance slid toward the archway. “Officers, you can come in now.” Boots struck the floor. Two broad-shouldered security officers filled the doorway and stepped in, and my breath caught. Every keyboard in the room stopped. “We've seen everything that happened here,” one of them said, his eyes fixed on the executive. “You crossed the line. You put someone's reputation at risk. You'll have a word with the disciplinary committee.” His gaze swept the room, slow, one face at a time. “Let this serve as a warning to any one of you if this repeats itself.” Nathan gave a single nod. “I will rest my statement here.” One officer took the executive by both arms. The other closed his hand around Maya's. The executive's head dropped. Maya jerked once against the grip, then went stiff. They were nearly at the door when I called out. “Maya.” She turned her head, and her eyes locked on mine. The officer eased back half a step, but his fingers stayed clamped on her ar
Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally Chapter 57: Her Own Trap
Ariana Pov I knew that voice, but for a second, I couldn’t place it. I turned toward the archway, and my breath caught when I saw Nathan standing there. One hand was tucked into his pocket, his gaze moving across the room. I had never seen him on this floor before, or anywhere else in the company for that matter. The last time I had seen him was at Grandpa’s birthday party, when Damian had instructed him to take me home, only for me to refuse. He had always seemed to be close to Damian, which made his sudden appearance even more unexpected. “The video is forged,” he repeated. My fingers tightened around the edge of the dress as my hands became sweaty as different thoughts ran through my head was he really here to help me? Was he doing this simply because I was Damian’s wife? Or had he actually found something that could clear my name after everything that had already been thrown at me? Maya’s expression changed the instant Nathan stepped forward. The color drained from her f
Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally CHAPTER 56:THE EVIDENCE
Ariana Pov "I need to find a way to clear my name and prove to everyone that I'm not guilty. But how?" I murmured to myself. There must surely be a way out. Ariana, think, I urged myself, my heels tapping a rapid, restless rhythm against the floor. Then, my gaze accidentally drifted toward the exact spot where I had stood to gather the fallen folders earlier. I looked up at the steel beam overhead—to the dark glass dome of the security camera mounted right above the printing bay. A small smile formed across my face as I pointed toward it, my eyes locking onto Maya's. "Look there," I said. "The camera overhead, right above the printing bay. It must have captured every single corner of this floor. We can go check the footage in the security room and find out who's really guilty." Maya stared at me, her confidence faltering as her eyes flicked upward toward the security camera before snapping back to mine. Her shoulders locked tight as she shifted her weight nervously from one he
Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally Chapter 55: The Setup
Ariana Pov I sat alone at the long table, staring at the empty doorway Damian had just walked through. Pushing my chair back, I picked up my heels from the floor beside me and headed upstairs. When I got inside my bedroom, I stripped off my clothes, walked into the bathroom, and turned on the shower. Steam quickly filled the room. Once the water was hot, I stepped beneath it and rested my forehead against the cool tiles. My fingers rose to my lower lip as the moment during dinner replayed in my mind—the shift in his jaw, the dark intensity in his eyes, and the deliberate drag of his thumb as he wiped the sauce from my lip without breaking eye contact. I opened my eyes and stared at my blurred reflection through the steam. Damian never looked uncertain. Even when his jaw tightened or his gaze lingered a second too long, he carried himself with an unsettling certainty. I was the one left trying to understand what had just happened. I dragged a hand down my face, only realizing the
Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally Chapter 54: A Name Too Familiar
Ariana Pov I got home exhausted. As I pulled the front door open, my feet ached so badly that I staggered into the foyer. I slipped off my heels, holding them in one hand while flexing my toes against the cold floor with a tired sigh. Smoothing the front of my trousers, I walked toward the stairs. My only goal was to reach my room, take a freezing shower, and collapse. "You're late." A deep voice caught me off guard. I turned quickly toward the dining room. Damian sat at the head of the long mahogany table, a plate set before him and his suit jacket draped over the back of his chair. His crisp white shirt was unbuttoned at the neck, revealing the defined line of his collarbone. He gestured toward a covered plate set to his right. "Come sit and eat." "I'm not hungry," I said, shifting my shoes to one hand. "I just want to rest." Damian set his silver fork down against the rim of his plate with a slow, deliberate click. He leaned back in his chair, his tone shifting into somethi
Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally Chapter 53: Signed In Ink
Damian Pov The heavy brass doors of the private executive elevator slid open right on schedule. Ava stepped out first, leading the Sterling Silver delegation onto the top floor of Cole Enterprises. The Chairwoman walked beside her, two corporate attorneys trailing a step behind, leather document cases tucked firmly under their arms. I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass, adjusting my cuffs before turning to face them. "Mr. Cole," the Chairwoman said, extending her hand. I took it with a single, firm nod. "Chairwoman. Let's get down to business." I gestured toward the glass-topped conference table, where Ava had already laid out the heavy, leather-bound contract binders. We took our seats. For twenty minutes, the only sound in the office was the crisp turning of pages inside the contract binders and the low, clipped exchanges of lead counsel verifying the final terms. Fifty percent equity. Balanced board authority. Joint supply chains approved. Everything matched Sunday
