I walked into a nearby café hoping the coffee would calm my nerves before I returned home.

The entire day had been exhausting beyond words.

Between seeing Damon again and arguing with Adrian afterward, my mind felt completely overwhelmed.

I ordered a coffee and sat down near the window. As I wrapped my hands around the warm cup, my thoughts immediately drifted back to the boardroom.

I still could not believe that out of every possible person, the Geranium head had chosen Damon and me as rep

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 59: School Family Event

    MiaJim refused to let either Damon or me back out of the school family event that he had secretly signed both of us up for.From the moment I woke up that morning, he followed me around the house with endless excitement, constantly reminding me that today was finally the day we were supposed to attend together as a family.The more I listened to him talking excitedly about everything he had planned, the more nervous I became about what was waiting for us at the school.Every activity listed inside the schedule required mothers and fathers to work together alongside their children, leaving no opportunity for me to disappear into the background.I began searching for every possible excuse that might allow me to avoid attending without hurting Jim’s feelings.I considered pretending that I suddenly felt sick, claiming that work had unexpectedly called me in, or even saying that an emergency had come up at the last minute.But every excuse disappeared the moment I looked into Jim’s brigh

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 58: Did I Do Something Bad, Mum?

    MiaI woke up the following morning to chaos.I opened the first notification on my phone, and the color drained from my face.Every major news outlet, countless social media accounts, and nearly every gossip blog imaginable had flooded the internet with photographs from last night’s disastrous confrontation.Some headlines focused entirely on Damon and Adrian’s violent fight during the celebration.Other headlines focused entirely on me.Several articles shamelessly speculated that I was caught between two powerful men fighting over my affection.While others confidently invented stories about secret affairs, broken engagements, and love triangles that never even existed.My breathing became uneven because the project that every single member of our team had sacrificed months of exhausting work to complete disappeared from the headlines.Instead, the entire city seemed far more interested in tearing ap

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 57: Scandal

    DamonThe very moment Mia spotted Adrian standing below the balcony with his eyes fixed directly on us.The entire atmosphere surrounding us changed so suddenly that even the cool evening breeze seemed to disappear.The warmth that had existed between Mia and me only seconds earlier gave way to a heavy silence filled with unmistakable tension and growing uneasiness.I turned toward her and noticed the panic spreading across her beautiful face while she stared down at the phone still pressed against her ear.Her breathing had already become uneven, and although she was trying very hard to hide her emotions, I could see the conflict raging behind her eyes without needing her to say a single word.It did not take me more than a moment to understand exactly why she suddenly looked so nervous and unsettled.Adrian always managed to appear whenever Mia and I shared even the smallest peaceful moment together.My jaw tightened.I had reached the limit of my patience where Adrian was concerned

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 56: Final Presentation

    Mia I spent the entire night lying awake inside my bedroom because Damon’s words refused to leave my mind no matter how desperately I tried pushing them away. Every single sentence he had spoken continued replaying endlessly inside my head, mixing together with everything he had confessed about his father’s death and the investigation. Every possibility seemed darker than the one before it, and no matter how hard I tried convincing myself that I was simply overthinking everything My thoughts only spiraled further out of control until sleep became impossible. By the time my alarm eventually rang, I felt so mentally exhausted. I forced myself through my morning routine before driving toward the office. As I walked inside the building, reality reminded me that today was the final stage of the project. Months of preparation had finally brought us here. The entire office buzzed with nervous excitement, today would determine whether every late night, every disagreement, every sacri

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go   Chapter 55: The Zenthros Project

    Mia The words stole every bit of air from my lungs.For several moments, I could not even respond. Then Damon brought out a thick file from his briefcase.Then he placed it directly in front of me.“What is this?”“The Zenthros project. I didn’t really give it to Athena, I gave her another project disguised as the Zenthros project. Mia, I know how hard you worked on that. There is no way I would just hand it over.” My hands trembled slightly as I opened the file and quickly flipped through the pages.The deeper I looked, the harder it became to breathe.Everything was there. Every detail I had spent countless hours creating.A painful knot formed inside my chest.Because he had been telling the truth. He really had not given it to Athena.He truly had not betrayed me. For several moments, neither of us said anything.Damon simply watched me while I struggled to process everything. Finally, I closed the file and lowered my gaze.“I need some time, Damon.”His expression softened.“Mi

    Mia The shock of finding him there made my heart leap into my throat.Then my shock quickly transformed into outrage.“What exactly are you doing inside my bedroom without permission this early in the morning?”Damon immediately raised both hands as though surrendering.“Mia, please calm down, this situation is not what it looks like.”I tightened my grip on the towel wrapped around my body.“I am standing here wrapped in a towel while finding you inside my bedroom, so I would love to hear exactly what you think this situation looks like from my perspective.”His expression was filled with embarrassment.“I knocked several times before coming inside, when I didn’t see you in here, I assumed you were already awake somewhere else inside the house.”I stared at him suspiciously.“And that somehow justified walking into my bedroom without permission?”He shook his head.“No, I’m sorry. Jim was asking for you repeatedly.”My anger faltered.“Jim sent you looking for me?”Damon nodded.“Y

    Damon“You are engaged?”I heard my own voice leave my mouth, but it sounded distant even to me.The words barely felt real. Everything around me seemed to fade into the background as I stared at Mia.It had been five years of searching and wondering where she had gone. Five whole years of forcing

    MiaFor the rest of the day, my mind remained occupied by the same thing.No matter how many reports I reviewed or emails I answered, my thoughts kept circling back to the name Adrian had mentioned earlier.It was too important of an opportunity not to.The partnership alone had the potential to el

    Mia “I— the reason I suggested it is because I know it would work. But I didn’t consider your feelings and I’m very sorry about that. I would never want to do anything that would hurt you, Mia.”Adrian looked genuinely guilty and that expression softened the irritation inside me almost immediately

    MiaAdrian glanced toward me and said coldly.“And as for compensation, Mia will not be paying a single cent. This matter ends here.”They both hesitated briefly before finally nodding.“Yes sir. It ends here. We’re truly sorry for our behavior.”The principal practically looked ready to cry from r
