I woke slowly.

Warm.

Comfortable.

And trapped.

Damon’s arm was around my waist.

One of my legs was tangled between his.

My head rested against his chest.

For several seconds, I stayed completely still.

Then memories returned.

The kisses.

His hands.

His voice asking if I was sure.

Me pulling him closer.

No more six inches.

Oh God.

I closed my eyes.

I had slept with Damon Bennett.

My husband.

Technically, there was nothing scandalous about that sentence.

Except there was.

So much.

    Six months later, Maya stood at the window of their new office and watched the city move beneath her.The office no longer looked bare.The walls carried photographs from their journey. The reception area displayed the company name in simple gold lettering.Damon and Maya Global.She smiled whenever she saw it.Not because of the name.Because of what it represented.They had built something that belonged to them.No inheritance had created it.No family agreement had demanded it.No one had used it to control them.They had chosen it together.Maya heard footsteps behind her.She didn't need to turn.She knew him.Damon's arms slipped around her waist.“Thinking?”She leaned back against him.“About how different everything feels.”He kissed her temple.“It is different.”“Remember when we though

  • Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father   Chapter 261: The Night We Chose Again

    The sun had vanished beyond the ocean when Maya stepped onto the balcony, leaving only a bruised ribbon of violet and copper at the horizon. Warm evening air slid over her bare shoulders, raising a faint scatter of goosebumps that pebbled her nipples beneath the thin silk of her camisole.Behind her, the bedroom was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that had lived between them for weeks, thick with everything they hadn't said.She felt him before she heard him-Damon's presence in the doorway, his gaze tracing her spine like a hand. She turned.For a moment, neither moved.Then Maya smiled. Not the polite one she'd been wearing like armor. The real one, the one that had always been his.Damon crossed the room in three slow strides. His hands settled around her waist, firm and familiar, drawing her close with a kind of reverent hunger. She slipped her arms around his neck and felt the fine tremor running through him, the barely leashed need he'd

    Three days after Victor's death, Maya and Damon left Cedar Falls.For once, neither of them looked back.The twins were safe with Celeste, who had insisted on keeping them for the week.“You both need this,” she had said.Maya had smiled.She knew Celeste was right.They needed time away from everyone.Away from Bennett Global.Away from the documents and investigations.Away from the past.Just them.Their destination was a secluded seaside villa several hours from the city. Damon had chosen it because it was private, quiet, and far enough from everything they knew.When they arrived, Maya stepped out of the car and stared at the ocean.The water stretched endlessly beneath the afternoon sun.She breathed deeply.“It’s beautiful.”Damon came up behind her.“So are you.”She turned and smiled.“You've bec

    For the first time in months, Maya woke up without a crisis waiting for her.No calls from lawyers.No family meeting.No mysterious documents.No fear that another secret would appear before breakfast.She opened her eyes and found Damon beside her.He was already awake.He smiled when their eyes met.“Good morning.”Maya smiled back.“Good morning.”They were staying at a quiet seaside resort far from Cedar Falls. Damon had arranged the trip after everything with Victor ended.One week.No business.No family.No investigations.Just them.Maya turned toward him.“I forgot what it felt like to wake up beside you without worrying about what would happen next.”Damon reached for her hand.“I did too.”She studied his face.There was something different about him.The tension wa

    Three weeks later, Bennett Global was no longer theirs.The final meeting had been quiet.There had been no arguments.No threats.No family secrets waiting to surface.The board had approved the dissolution, and the remaining assets were being divided according to the legal process.When Damon signed the final document, he stared at his signature for a long moment.Maya sat beside him.“You okay?”He nodded.“Yes.”He placed the pen down.“I thought I would feel like I was losing something.”Maya reached for his hand.“Do you?”Damon looked at her.“No.”A small smile appeared.“I feel free.”Outside the boardroom, Ethan was waiting.He had been involved in the final stages of the process and understood what the decision meant.Damon walked toward him.“

    The morning after they learned the truth about Damon’s biological father, Maya woke beside him with a strange sense of peace.For months, every morning had brought another question.Another secret.Another reason to doubt the life they had built.Now there was nothing left to uncover.Damon was awake, staring at the ceiling.Maya turned toward him.“What are you thinking?”He looked at her.“My father.”She waited.“I thought finding him would change something.”“Did it?”Damon shook his head.“No.”His eyes moved to her.“You changed everything.”Maya reached for his hand.“I’m sorry.”“For what?”“For letting Victor make me question you.”Damon squeezed her fingers.“You were hurt.
