Married To My Ex's Ruthless Father Chapter Seventy
Vanessa’s PovI had stayed away from New York for weeks, telling myself it was because I needed distance, time to figure out my next move. But the truth was simpler than that. I couldn’t stand watching Isabella become the golden woman of New York society while I sat somewhere else, forgotten entirely.The moment I saw those photographs from the countryside estate, something inside me finally snapped. Enough hiding. Enough pretending I didn’t care. I booked a flight back to the city that same night.My first stop was Ethan. If anyone understood my frustration with the Blackwood family, it was him. We had both tried, in our own ways, to unravel what Damien and Isabella had built together, and we had both failed spectacularly. I told myself reconnecting with him made sense, that we could still be useful to each other.I found him at his usual coffee shop, the one he frequented most mornings, and slid into the seat across from him before he could object.“Vanessa,” he said, his expression

Damien’s PovGabriel walked into my office uninvited, which had become something of a habit lately, and dropped a folder onto my desk without waiting for permission to speak.“You’re taking tomorrow off,” he said simply.“I have three meetings scheduled,” I said, not even looking up from my screen.“I already canceled them,” Gabriel said. “You’ve had a security team stationed at your house for two weeks straight, Isabella’s been living in fear, and you haven’t taken a single day off since that note showed up. You need this, Damien. All of you do.”“There’s still an investigation ongoing,” I said. “I can’t just disappear for a day.”“You’re not disappearing,” Gabriel said. “You’re taking your wife and daughter somewhere quiet for twenty-four hours. Security will still be watching the estate. I’ll handle anything urgent that comes up here.”I sat back in my chair, considering his words longer than I expected to. Isabella had seemed increasingly exhausted lately, the constant tension of

Damien’s PovI called Gabriel into my office first thing the next morning, done waiting around while someone tried to tear apart my family from the shadows.“I want to know who’s behind this,” I said, sliding my laptop toward him, the gossip article still open on the screen. “Quietly. No public investigation, nothing that draws more attention. Just find out who leaked this.”“I’m already on it,” Gabriel said. “I had my contacts start tracing the source last night.”By afternoon, Gabriel returned with an update, though his expression told me it wasn’t good news. “Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing,” he said. “The leak came through several anonymous accounts, all carefully hidden behind layers of proxy servers and false identities.”“So we have nothing,” I said, frustration building in my chest.“Not nothing,” Gabriel said. “But whoever planned this is clearly experienced. This wasn’t some random gossip columnist stumbling onto a rumor. This was calculated, deliberate, d

Isabella’s PovThe notification popped up on my phone while I was reviewing shipment reports at my desk, and at first, I didn’t think much of it. But when I opened the article, my stomach dropped completely.“Isabella: The Woman Who Planned It All Along?” the headline read, accompanied by a photo of me from the gala last month.I read through the article twice, my hands growing colder with each paragraph. It claimed I had deliberately manipulated Damien into transferring company shares into Grace’s name, positioning myself to control significant portions of Blackwood Holdings through our daughter. There was no actual evidence anywhere in the piece, just carefully worded speculation designed to sound plausible.“Damien,” I called out, my voice tighter than I intended.He appeared in the doorway within seconds, immediately noticing my expression. “What’s wrong?”I handed him my phone silently, watching his jaw tighten as he read through the article himself.“This is completely fabricate

Isabella’s PovDamien called me into his office one afternoon, a folder resting on his desk that I hadn’t seen before. Grace was napping upstairs with the nanny, giving me a rare window of uninterrupted time, and something about the seriousness of his expression told me this wasn’t just another casual conversation.“I want to give you something,” he said, sliding the folder across the desk toward me.I opened it curiously, scanning through the documents inside. “This is the logistics division,” I said, looking up at him in surprise.“One of our more troubled divisions,” Damien said. “We’ve been struggling with efficiency issues there for months. I want you to take the lead on fixing it.”“Damien, I’ve never managed an entire division before,” I said, my heart already racing at the thought.“You’ve been managing far more complicated things than a struggling division,” he said. “This is a real opportunity, Isabella. Limited authority for now, but a genuine chance to prove what I already

Damien’s PovIsabella stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down the front of her dress for what felt like the tenth time, and I could tell she was more nervous than she wanted to admit.“You look beautiful,” I said, walking up behind her.“I feel like I’ve forgotten how to do this,” she admitted, adjusting an earring slightly. “It’s been months since we’ve been to anything like this.”“You’ll be fine,” I said. “You’ve handled far more difficult rooms than a gala.”“Those rooms didn’t have this many people judging every word I say,” she said.“They’re not judging you,” I said, though I understood her nerves. “They’re going to be impressed by you, the same way everyone at the office has been lately.”She turned to face me, studying my expression carefully. “You really believe that?”“I know it,” I said firmly. “Isabella, you’ve spent months proving exactly how sharp you are. Tonight isn’t any different.”We arrived at the gala a short while later, the ballroom already filled with fam

Isabella POV“Yes” came out before my brain could catch up.Not from love. But because Damien Blackwood’s steady gray eyes made the alternative, being alone, broke, raising this baby while Ethan played house, feel impossible.Damien didn’t grin or celebrate. He just gave one firm nod, like business

Isabella's Pov I don’t know why I kept talking to him. Maybe it was because he didn’t look at me with pity. For the first time in hours, someone saw me as a real person instead of a problem.We talked for almost two hours. I didn’t go deep into my mess or say Ethan’s name. We just talked about sma

Isabella's POV“You really think this baby is going to change anything, Isabella?” Ethan’s voice was cold and sharp. He stood in the middle of his fancy Manhattan penthouse office, the one I had helped design with the expensive walnut floors and big windows looking out over the city. “I’m engaged,
