Aurora sat quietly in the back of the taxi, staring out at the passing fields as they gave way to the outskirts of the nearest town. She tried to focus on the road ahead, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Damien. The news of his attack had stirred something inside her, a mixture of disbelief and unease. She knew Damien wasn’t a man anyone could easily love; his cold demeanor and ruthless tactics made him feared by many. But even so, who would go so far as to want him dead?

She shook her head, trying to dismiss the thoughts. “It doesn’t concern me,” she muttered under her breath, her fingers nervously tracing the edges of her coat. After all, Damien was no longer a part of her life. She had her own struggles now. With her limited funds, she had booked the cheapest room at a rundown motel, a far cry from the more comfortable place she’d stayed in before. The small, dimly lit room offered her little more than a bed and a rusty bathroom, but it would have to suffice for now.

  • Married to a heartless billionaire    She’s pregnant

    The room was in total silence. Everyone waited anxiously for the still-unconscious Beverly to wake up. Mrs. Wales bit her fingers nervously as the doctor finally adjusted Beverly’s blanket.“What do you think happened?” she asked, her voice trembling.“She had a C-section,” the doctor explained calmly. “She lost a lot of blood, but we managed to stabilize her. She should wake up within an hour or two. Luckily, she was brought here immediately after surgery.”Kayla frowned deeply. It must be Damien. What did he do to her? she thought bitterly.“Thank you, doctor,” Mrs. Wales said with a stiff nod.“Aunty, let me speak with the cops outside,” Kayla added. “If we let the authorities take this case, it will just become another cold file. That won’t bring justice for her.” Without waiting for an answer, she walked out.Mrs. Wales held her daughter’s hand tightly, tears spilling down her face.“I told you to forget about Damien,” she sobbed. “You ruined everything, and now… now it can never

  • Married to a heartless billionaire    Are you trying to make me family-less?

    The black Benz sped through the rainy night, weaving through traffic as it raced toward the hospital.Police sirens wailed behind. Cops gave chase, but Damien had no time to stop. His guards, following close behind, intercepted the police to hold them back while he kept driving.At the trauma center, Dr. Frankie was waiting. The moment Damien’s car screeched to a halt, he leapt out, carrying Aurora in his arms. Nurses rushed forward with a stretcher, placing her gently on the bed. Damien followed, barefoot, shirtless, his wet pants clinging to him, hair dripping with rain.“Save my wife. No matter what,” he ordered, his voice firm as they wheeled Aurora into the emergency ward.People nearby couldn’t help but gasp. The sight of him—muscular, soaked, his sharp features shadowed by worry—made him look like a water god, a being descended from the storm.“Oh my goodness…” whispers echoed, though they meant nothing to Damien.The head nurse hurried to the scene, curious about the commotion

    The room was dark. Cold air from the balcony spread into the room like an open fridge. Damien wanted to apologize after making his wife feel she had crossed a line. The rain was about to begin—the clouds roared, lightning striking across the sky.He gently closed the balcony door and walked toward their inner bedroom. But the large bed was empty, perfectly neat from the maid’s fresh work earlier that evening. Damien frowned, then checked the bathroom. No one. It was as though she had never entered the room at all.His heart skipped. Nervously, his hands clutched his pants. Barefoot, he turned sharply and rushed out, heading downstairs.“Aurora!” he shouted.James, the butler, was on his final nightly rounds when he saw his boss—barefoot, shirtless, only in black pants, his face filled with worry.“Where is my wife?” Damien’s voice held more fear than anger, unlike his usual tone.“The… the madam, I haven’t seen her since she went upstairs,” James stammered.“What do you mean?” Damien

  • Married to a heartless billionaire    Spare me

    Beverly’s lips trembled, her hands wrapped around her stomach as if protecting her child from predators. “Da-Damien, I don’t understand. I’m seven—seven months gone. Aborting the child means I’m calling for death. Pl—” “I don’t care,” Damien cut in coldly. “Don’t waste my time. I can make it easier for you by pulling the trigger on your head—or your stomach. Choose,” he said, as tears began to stream down Beverly’s cheeks. “Damien, this is your child. Precious, bring the scan so he can see. It’s a boy, Damien—your son,” she said. The maid stood up immediately to go bring the scan, but a gunshot rang out and her body fell to the ground, lifeless. “Ahh!” Beverly screamed, her hands covering her mouth in terror. “Precious… oh goodness!” she cried out in horror. “I’m not joking,” Damien said, causing Beverly to tremble even more. “Will you abort that thing—or should I send you to hell?” he asked. Beverly sobbed uncontrollably. “Spare me… Damien, please. If we can’t be together, l

    Agatha immediately rushed back to her room and picked up her bag. She knew this place wasn’t for her. Though she had hopes of being with Mason, after this incident, those hopes were gone.“Where are you going? You’re not going out—”“Aurora asked someone to pick me up. I already talked to—”“Let me take you there, if you’ll feel more comfortable. I’ll check on you once—”“No need, Mason. Please,” she said, causing Mason to frown.“I don’t understand. No need for what? You’re under my—”“I’ll be okay with Aurora. I’ll be safe under Damien. Just do what your mother asked of you,” she said.Mason scoffed and wiped his face.“You don’t have to be worried about that. I’m a man, and that’s my—”“Then make it clear to your mother that we have nothing between us. We’re just friends. She keeps getting the wrong idea, and it’s pissing her off,” Agatha said.Mason frowned deeply.“What do you mean we have nothing? A week ago, we had sex like a couple. And two nights ago, you let me make love to

  • Married to a heartless billionaire    He’s dead…

    The study was silent. Damien’s eyes were fixed on Simon, whose hands were shaking and drenched in sweat.“Damien, is this true? Is she carrying your baby? Did you threaten to kill her? Did—”“Leave,” he turned to Aurora, who frowned.“Damien, I need to—”“Stella!!” Damien called, his voice filled with rage, prompting Stella to rush into the study.“Boss,” she said, bowing her head.“Take your madam upstairs,” he said quietly. Stella turned to Aurora, who picked up her phone and walked away.As soon as Aurora left, Simon dropped to his knees, already trembling with fear and tears streaming down his face.“Forgive me, Boss. I couldn’t bring myself to kill her after finding out she’s carrying your baby…” he pleaded, just as Damien cocked his pistol.“You disobeyed my order,” Damien said, pointing the gun at Simon.“I’m sorry, I—”Two gunshots rang out, and Damien walked out of the study.“James,” he called to his butler.“Yes, Boss,” the elderly man replied with a bow.“Take two guards a
