Married To My Ex's Ruthless Father Chapter Thirty-Six
Isabella’s POV The company entered full crisis mode. Phones rang nonstop in Damien’s home office. His assistants sent urgent messages at all hours. I could hear the stress in his voice during calls, even when he tried to keep the door closed. Investors were demanding answers about the future of the Blackwood empire. They wanted to know who would inherit everything one day. Would it be a child Damien and I had together, or would Ethan’s baby complicate the whole line of succession? The unborn baby had suddenly become the center of a battle nobody expected. It wasn’t just about me or our marriage anymore. It was about power, money, and control.I felt sick watching it all unfold. Sitting in the living room with my hand on my growing belly, I saw the news clips. Analysts on TV talked about stock prices dropping and board meetings turning tense. Some investors even suggested putting pressure on Damien to “resolve his personal issues” quickly. The pressure was crushing him, but he kept

Isabella’s PovThe leaked photos dominated every news outlet. They were everywhere I looked. My phone wouldn’t stop buzzing with alerts. TV screens in the living room showed the old pictures of me and Ethan on repeat. Those private moments from before my wedding now felt cheap and exposed. Headlines screamed things like “Secret Past Revealed!” and “Isabella’s True Heart?” I wanted to crawl under the covers and never come out.The public started questioning everything. Comment sections filled with cruel words. “Does Isabella even love Damien or did she just marry him to hide her pregnancy?” “She probably used him for the Blackwood name and money.” Some people felt sorry for Damien. Others said I was playing games with both men. It hurt so much because deep down I knew parts of it came from my own confusion. I loved Damien, but the baby inside me tied me to Ethan forever. The gossip made everything feel dirty.Damien tried to ignore it at first. He would kiss my forehead in the mornin

Isabella’s PovI opened the door with shaking hands. Ethan stood there under the porch light, looking just as tired as he had in the news clips. His eyes met mine first, soft and full of something I couldn’t quite read. Then Damien’s footsteps reached us, and the air changed in an instant.“Ethan,” Damien said, his voice low and sharp. He stepped beside me, one hand resting protectively on my lower back. “You shouldn’t be here.”Ethan didn’t flinch. He looked straight at Damien, shoulders squared. “I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to talk to Isabella. About our child.”Our child. The words hit me hard. I stood between them in the entrance hall, heart pounding. The two men who had turned my life upside down were finally face to face. Damien’s jaw tightened. Ethan’s hands curled into fists at his sides. The security guard hovered awkwardly behind us, unsure what to do.Damien spoke first. “She’s my wife. This is my home. You don’t get to show up unannounced and demand anything

Isabella’s Pov The media frenzy grew worse with every passing day. Cameras flashed no matter where I went. Reporters shouted questions the second I stepped outside. My phone buzzed constantly with new headlines: “Blackwood Baby Drama!” and “Who’s the Real Father?” I couldn’t even look out a window without seeing another news van parked nearby. It felt like the whole world was staring at my growing belly, waiting for me to break.I tried to stay strong, but inside I was crumbling. Damien saw it. He hated how tense I became every time my phone lit up or a stranger whispered as we walked past. One rainy afternoon, he made up his mind.“We’re leaving,” he told me gently while packing a small bag for me. “There’s a quieter property up north. Bigger land, taller walls, better security. You need peace, Isabella. Our baby needs peace.”I just nodded. I was too tired to argue. I let him guide me into the black SUV with dark windows. We slipped out through a back gate while the main crowd wai

Damien’s POVThe SUV came to a complete stop. Nobody inside spoke. Nobody moved. Rain poured heavily against the windshield.The woman standing in the middle of the road stared directly at us. At Isabella.My grip tightened around her hand. She wasn’t breathing. I could feel her entire body go rigid beside me.“Mom.” The word barely left her lips.The driver looked nervous. “What do we do, sir?”I didn’t answer immediately. My eyes stayed on the woman outside. Something felt wrong. Very wrong. She wasn’t waving. Wasn’t running toward us. Wasn’t smiling. She was just standing there. Watching.Gabriel must have noticed it too. “Don’t get out.”Isabella looked at him. “What?”“Don’t get out yet.”Her eyes widened. “That’s my mother.”“I know.”“Then why would I stay here?”Gabriel hesitated. “Because this could be a trap.”Silence filled the SUV. The rain kept falling. Harder now. Louder. Almost violent.Isabella looked back at the woman. Tears were already forming in her eyes. Twenty ye

Isabella’s POV“She has been kidnapped.”The words hit me hard. I couldn’t breathe for a second. Rain fell around us. Cold and steady. I barely felt it.My mother. After twenty years. After I thought she was dead. After I found out she was alive. Now she was gone.“No.” My voice was weak.The officer looked uncomfortable. “I’m sorry.”“No.” I shook my head. “You’re wrong.”Damien put his arm around my shoulders. His grip was firm. Steady. It grounded me. I leaned into him without thinking.The officer looked away. “We intercepted a message thirty minutes ago.”My stomach twisted. “And?”“It confirmed she was taken from a safe location.”“By who?”“We don’t know yet.”I closed my eyes. Everything hurt. Damien looked down at me. “Look at me.”I did. His gray eyes were calm. “We will find her.”His certainty made something settle inside me. A little. “What if we’re too late?”“We won’t be.”“You don’t know that.”“I know I won’t stop looking.” The answer came fast. No hesitation.My thro

Isabella’s povThe first thing I felt was pain.Then voices bleeding through the fog—clinical and urgent, layered over each other like a bad radio signal.“Her vitals are stable.”“Move her carefully.”“She is pregnant. Be gentle.”I tried to open my eyes, but my body felt weighted down, as if the
