last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-08-09 03:25:09
Two weeks into their new rhythm, Amelia learned that Damian's calm exterior had limits she just hadn't known where they were yet.

It started small. She'd offered to help him prepare for an upcoming board meeting, reading through a set of quarterly reports left open on the dining table one evening while he was in the shower. She wasn't trying to pry. She was trying to be useful, to understand more of the world he lived in every day so she could hold up her end of things better at events.

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 91: Thirty Years

    The invitation arrived in careful, elegant script, though Amelia already knew exactly what it contained before she'd even opened the envelope Robin and Theodore had been planning something for months, exchanging hushed, excited phone calls that both of them had poorly disguised as routine family check-ins."Thirty years," Amelia read aloud, studying the invitation's careful wording. "They want to throw us a thirtieth anniversary celebration. Damian, can you believe it's genuinely been thirty years since that garden wedding?"Damian, settling beside her to read the invitation himself, felt his own wave of disbelieving wonder wash over him. "Thirty years," he repeated softly. "I remember that day with such clarity, and yet I can hardly believe how much time has actually passed since then.""Should we let them do this?" Amelia asked, genuine uncertainty in her voice despite her obvious pleasure at the thoughtful gesture. "It feels like such an enormous undertaking for them to manage, esp

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 90: Eleanor's Garden

    Eleanor passed away peacefully in her sleep on a quiet spring morning, nearly eighty-three years old, having long since outlived every grim prediction her doctors had once offered during the frightening early years of Amelia's marriage to Damian.The call came from the care facility just after dawn, a gentle, practiced voice explaining that Eleanor had simply slipped away sometime during the night, no pain, no struggle, exactly the peaceful ending her remarkable resilience seemed to have earned."She went exactly how she lived," Amelia told Damian through tears, the phone still clutched in her trembling hand. "Quietly, gracefully, on her own terms."Damian pulled her into his arms immediately, holding her through the first wave of overwhelming grief. "She had an extraordinary life, Amelia. Decades longer than anyone expected, watching her daughter build an entire legacy, meeting four generations of family who loved her completely.""I know," Amelia said softly, tears streaming freely

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 89: Three Under Four

    Robin's second pregnancy announcement arrived nearly three years after Eleanor Grace's birth, this time accompanied by news that brought an entirely new dimension of joy to their family's continued story."We're having twins," Robin announced during their now-traditional family video call, barely able to contain her excitement as she shared the ultrasound images. "Two boys, apparently. Marcus and I are still processing the reality of going from one child to three in what feels like the blink of an eye."Amelia felt delighted laughter bubble up at her daughter's evident overwhelmed joy. "Twins! That's wonderful, sweetheart, though I imagine considerably more exhausting than anything you've experienced with Eleanor Grace so far.""We're already exhausted just thinking about it," Marcus admitted, laughing alongside his wife. "Though genuinely, completely thrilled."The news brought a flurry of excited preparation, Amelia finding herself once again drawn into the particular joy of grandpa

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 88: A Milestone at Blackwood Industries

    Nearly thirty years after Damian had first taken the helm of Blackwood Industries, the company celebrated a significant milestone its centennial anniversary, marking a full century since his grandfather had first opened that modest downtown office Amelia remembered visiting years earlier with Damian, back when their relationship was still finding its careful footing."A hundred years," Damian said, reviewing plans for the celebration with evident wonder in his voice. "I keep thinking about how differently this company looks now than it did even when I first took over. More community-focused, more genuinely invested in integrity rather than pure profit.""You transformed it," Amelia said, settling beside him to review the celebration details. "Not just survived the difficult chapters your father's manipulation, the activist investor challenge, everything complicated along the way. You genuinely transformed what this company stands for.""I had help," Damian said, reaching for her hand.

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 87: Theodore's Seattle

    Theodore graduated from MIT the same spring that Eleanor Grace celebrated her first birthday, the timing bringing their extended family together once more for a celebration that managed to hold both milestones with equal, overflowing joy."Summa cum laude," Damian read aloud from the graduation program, pride evident in every syllable as he watched his son prepare to cross the stage. "I'm not even remotely surprised, though I am thoroughly impressed.""He gets that thoroughness from you," Amelia said, squeezing Damian's hand as they watched Theodore's name finally called, his confident stride across the stage carrying none of the awkward uncertainty of his younger teenage years. "Though I think his genuine passion for the work is entirely his own."Theodore's senior thesis, a detailed proposal for retrofitting aging urban infrastructure with earthquake-resistant technology inspired by that long-ago conversation about floating buildings in Japan, had earned him not only academic distin

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 86: A New Generation

    Nearly a year after Victor's passing, life gradually found its way back to a gentler rhythm, grief settling into the quieter, more manageable ache of genuine remembrance rather than the sharp immediacy of fresh loss. It was during this tender season of healing that Robin called with news that brought fresh, unexpected joy into their family's continuing story."Mom, Dad," she said, her face glowing with the same particular happiness Amelia remembered from her own pregnancy announcements years earlier, "we have some exciting news. I'm pregnant."Amelia felt overwhelming joy wash over her, tears springing immediately to her eyes as she processed the beautiful, unexpected gift of this announcement arriving during such a tender season of grief and healing. "Oh, sweetheart, that's wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.""We wanted to tell you both first," Robin continued, Marcus visible beside her on the video call, equally radiant with excitement. "We're due in the spring. I keep thinking about
