By the end of her first week as Mrs. Blackwood, Amelia had started to notice something she hadn't expected she was smiling more than she used to.

It caught her off guard the first few times. She'd be standing in the kitchen watching Rosa plate something delicious for breakfast, or looking out over the park from the balcony with a cup of coffee that tasted better than any she'd ever bought herself, and she'd realize, almost guiltily, that she was happy. Not pretending. Not performing for camera

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him    Chapter 84: Robin and Marcus's Wedding

    The wedding, when it finally arrived a year after that unforgettable graduation evening, brought Amelia and Damian full circle in a way that left both of them repeatedly, unexpectedly emotional throughout the entire planning process watching their daughter navigate the same joyful decisions they'd once made themselves, choosing a venue, a dress, a guest list built entirely around genuine relationship rather than obligation."She wants the ceremony in the memorial garden," Amelia told Damian one evening, reviewing venue details with her daughter over video call while Robin excitedly described her vision. "Near Dad's memorial stone. She says she wants him present, in whatever way that's possible.""That's beautiful," Damian said, genuine emotion evident in his voice. "A perfect choice, honestly."Robin, overhearing this exchange during their call, added her own thoughtful explanation. "I've always loved that garden. It feels like it holds so much of our family's story grief transformed

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 85: Victor's Legacy

    The call came on a quiet Tuesday morning, nearly three years after Robin's wedding, Victor's longtime housekeeper's voice unsteady with worry as she explained that he'd been found unresponsive in his study, taken by ambulance to the same hospital that had once treated his stroke years earlier."We're on our way," Damian said, already moving toward the door, Amelia close behind him, both of them gripped by a fear that felt disturbingly familiar despite the years that had passed since that first frightening health crisis.They arrived to find Victor's doctor waiting with an expression that told Amelia, even before he spoke, that this news would be different from the cautiously optimistic updates they'd received after his stroke."His heart," Dr. Reyes explained gently, guiding them to a private room. "A significant cardiac event, compounded by decades of stress on his system. We're doing everything we can, but I want to be honest with you both the prognosis is serious. You should prepar

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 83: Graduation Day

    Robin's graduation from Northwestern arrived four years after that tearful driveway goodbye, the ceremony itself bringing a wave of profound, complicated emotion as Amelia watched her daughter cross the stage to receive her diploma, cap and gown replacing the small, uncertain teenager who'd once worried so deeply about losing a childhood friendship. "I can't believe how fast that went," Amelia whispered to Damian, tears already streaming freely as Robin's name was called, watching her daughter's confident, radiant smile as she accepted her diploma. "Four years, and yet it feels like she just left home yesterday." "She's built something remarkable there," Damian said, his own voice thick with emotion. "Look at everything she's accomplished." Indeed, Robin's college years had brought accomplishment after accomplishment the mentorship program she'd piloted at the foundation had inspired a senior thesis project studying youth literacy interventions, published research that had already a

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 82: Robin's News

    The call came on an ordinary Tuesday evening, Robin's face appearing on the video screen with a particular glow that Amelia recognized instantly, even before her daughter said a single word."You look happy," Amelia said, settling onto the couch with Damian to properly focus on the call. "Suspiciously happy, actually. What's going on?"Robin laughed, unable to suppress her evident excitement. "I met someone. His name's Marcus not the same Marcus from the foundation, obviously, different person entirely. We've been seeing each other for a few months now, actually, but I wanted to wait until I was sure it was serious before telling you both.""And now you're sure?" Damian asked, genuine interest evident in his expression."I think so," Robin said, something vulnerable and hopeful entering her voice. "He's studying environmental policy, actually. We met at a joint event between our programs. He's kind, and thoughtful, and he actually challenges me intellectually in ways I really value."

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him    Chapter 80: Theodore's Turn

    Two years after Robin's departure for college, Theodore found himself navigating the same whirlwind of applications and anticipation that had once defined his sister's senior year, though his path through the process carried its own distinct character, shaped by his quieter, more methodical temperament. "I've narrowed it down to three schools," he told Damian one evening, spreading brochures and printed research across the kitchen table with the same careful, systematic approach he brought to every significant decision. "MIT, Georgia Tech, and Stanford. All strong engineering programs, though each has different strengths I'm still weighing." "Walk me through your thinking," Damian said, settling across from his son, genuinely engaged in the methodical presentation Theodore had clearly prepared with considerable care. Theodore launched into a detailed comparison of research opportunities, faculty specializations, and campus culture, demonstrating the same thorough, analytical approac
