The steel bars of the holding cell had felt like a cage built out of ice, but the moment the electronic locks buzzed and slid open, the heaviness of the last seventy-two hours finally evaporated.

NovaTech’s premier legal team—a small army of elite, sharp-suited attorneys spearheaded by Damon—had worked around the clock, tearing apart the fabricated warrants, and exposing the glaring inconsistencies in the late-night raid at Pier 4.

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 103: The Note on the Kitchen Island

    MiaThe black car pulled into the private parking garage of the penthouse smoothly.Damon turned off the engine and came around to open my door. He took my hand, helping me step out. Even after a full evening of dinner, wine, and laughter, I didn't want to let go of him. The night air was warm, and my heart was still fluttering from how he had looked at me under the rooftop fairy lights.We walked into the private elevator, arms wrapped around each other's waists, whispering silly things and smiling like teenagers. As the elevator doors slid open to our floor, Damon pulled me close against his chest."I don't want this date to end," he murmured, his voice low and husky."Who says it has to end?" I whispered back with a playful smile.He leaned down, capturing my lips in a slow, sweet kiss. His hands slid up to cup my face, deepening the kiss as the cool penthouse air brushed against our skin. I tangled my fingers in his hair, melting into his warmth, completely lost in the magic of th

    MiaThe steel bars of the holding cell had felt like a cage built out of ice, but the moment the electronic locks buzzed and slid open, the heaviness of the last seventy-two hours finally evaporated.NovaTech’s premier legal team—a small army of elite, sharp-suited attorneys spearheaded by Damon—had worked around the clock, tearing apart the fabricated warrants, and exposing the glaring inconsistencies in the late-night raid at Pier 4. The mountain of fraudulent evidence Mara and Athena had meticulously constructed began to crumble under the harsh light of judicial scrutiny.The security footage his team recovered from the docks didn't show Damon and me dragging a kicking, screaming victim into the shadows. Instead, it clearly captured Athena willingly stepping out of the storage unit, and then staging her theatrical, Oscar-worthy performance the very second the police headlights blinded the warehouse.By Friday afternoon, the charges were officially dropped. And by sunset, Athena f

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 101: Convincing Lie

    MaraThe popping of camera flashbulbs tore through the night air like tiny bolts of lightning, painting the rotting corrugated iron walls of Pier 4 in blinding white strobes.Outside, the chaos was a masterpiece of my own design. Police cruisers blocked every possible exit, their red and blue emergency lights cutting violent patterns through the fog. News vans sat idling with their satellite dishes locked onto the scene, broadcasting the unfolding spectacle live to millions of living rooms across the city.And from the tinted, climate-controlled comfort of my private black Mercedes sedan, parked just fifty feet away with a front-row view of the warehouse entrance, I watched it all unfold.A low laugh bubbled up in my throat, breaking the silence of the car. I pressed a hand over my mouth, but it did nothing to mask the intoxicating rush of adrenaline surging through my veins."Oh, look at them," I murmured to myself, leaning closer to the rolled-down window, my lips curling into a s

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 100: The Trap

    Mia The black SUV rolled to a stop half a mile away from the industrial docks, its headlights killed long before we turned down the narrow access road.Damon cut the engine. Inside the vehicle, the silence was broken only by the soft hum of the dashboard electronics and the sound of the rain-slicked wind howling off the water in the distance. His tactical team was stationed two blocks back, maintaining strict radio silence, ready to move in the second things went south.We stepped out into the biting midnight air. A thick fog rolled off the bay, wrapping around the towering stacks of rusted shipping containers like a ghostly shroud."Stay right behind me, Mia," Damon whispered, his voice low, steady, and entirely focused. His hand hovered close to his hidden holster, his eyes scanning every shadow, every alleyway, and every hanging light fixture above us.We began our trek through the labyrinth of the shipping yard.Every step we took echoed softly against the damp, cracked concrete

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 99: A Trap

    Mia The doors swung open, and for the first time in my life, I looked at a workspace and felt my heart swell with pride.My office.Located on the top floor of a sleek, modern architectural building in downtown, the space was a dream come true. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows wrapped around the perimeter, flooding the open-concept room with bright morning sunlight. The minimalist white walls, concrete floors, and clean lines gave it an airy, inspiring vibe. There were no corporate overlords peering over my shoulder, no malicious whispers echoing down the hallway, and no toxic superiors trying to steal my ideas.Here, I was the boss. The Zenthros Project was officially my company, and the blank canvas of my future was finally mine to paint.I stood by the window, holding a steaming mug of coffee, watching the distant, bustling flow of the city below. A profound sense of liberation washed over me, chasing away the last lingering shadows of the nightmares I had left behind at Vane Ent

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 98: An Empire

    MiaThe penthouse kitchen was very much silent except for the soft hum of the refrigerator and the drip of the coffee maker.I sat down, wrapped in an oversized knit sweater, staring down at my empty mug. My hands were wrapped tightly around the warm ceramic, but I couldn't shake the chill deep inside my bones. Just hours ago, I had resigned from Adrian’s Enterprise, from the toxic corporate wars, and from the last remaining anchor of my old life.I was officially unemployed.For the first time in years, I didn't have a desk to report to, an email inbox full of demands, or a malicious boss plotting behind my back. I was free. But sitting here in the morning light, that freedom felt vast—like standing at the edge of a sheer cliff with no map.Soft footsteps padded across the floor. A moment later, the familiar, comforting scent of chocolate musk filled the air as Damon stepped up behind me.He didn't say anything right away. Instead, his hands settled gently onto my shoulders, his th

    MiaI felt the gazes of my co-workers trailing me as I moved towards my office. Some looked away once I met them. Others remained, offering small smiles. They both held the same thing.Sympathy. Pity.By now I was sure the entire company was aware. There was nothing I could do about it but ignore i

    MiaDamon’s voice cut cleanly through mine. I turned to him.On his usually impassive face was something I couldn't read, but perhaps it was my imagination. Soon after he looked at me harshly.“Don’t be unreasonable Mia.” he said, “Athena is staying. Why would she need to leave when her family is h

    MiaIt felt like I'd been dunked in an icy bath, chilling my bones into reality. She leaned closer to Damon holding his arm and looking up at him with a smile. But all I could focus on was the jewellery adorned on her neck. The necklace I thought he'd bought for me.Laughter arose, forcing me to r

    MiaA lump formed in my throat as the words I wanted to say, the revelation that hung at the tip of my tongue was swallowed back. I kept my expression neutral as I nodded.“I’m sorry Mr Nova. It won’t happen again.” Silence stretched through minutes when I heard his footsteps. Before I knew it, ar
