The ceremony was being held at the Hart Industries headquarters. The building was still Lucas's, but tonight, it would become mine.

I stood in front of the full length mirror in my dressing room, my reflection staring back at me. I was wearing a floor length, emerald green gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. The color was a deliberate choice. It was the color of money. Of power. Of envy.

My hair was swept up in an elegant chignon, showing off the long column of my ne

  • Once A Doormat, Now A Famous Billionaire Heiress   Chapter 113

    B I A N C AMy heart was still pumping very fast as Marco guided me through the back corridors of the hospital. Chloe was still by Damian’s bedside when we arrived. She looked up, her expression shifting from calm to alarmed as she took in my disheveled state and the tear streaks on my face."Bianca? What happened? Are you alright?" She stood up, her chair scraping softly against the floor.Marco gave her a brief, telling shake of his head. "She was attacked. At the house."Chloe’s eyes widened. She rushed to my side, her arms wrapping around me. "What? Oh my god, B. Are you hurt?""I'm okay," I whispered, my gaze fixed on Damian. "I just… I need to be with him."Chloe helped me to the chair beside the bed, her arm around my waist. I reached out and took Damian's hand, his skin still cool to the touch. Marco stood by the door. He made a quiet call, putting the phone on speaker as he barked orders. "Security on her. Twenty four seven. No one gets near her without my clearance. Send

    B I A N C AForty eight hours later, Damian still hadn't woken up. The swelling in his brain had gone down, but he was still in a coma. The doctor said it was a good sign, that it gave his body time to heal, but it was small comfort to me.I hadn't left the hospital. I slept in a chair next to his bed, my hand never leaving his. I talked to him, told him about my day, about our families, about how much I loved him. I read to him, my voice hoarse from constantly crying. It didn’t look like he was getting better despite the doctor’s reassurance. He has not given any sign of waking up. In fact, he looks paler and more fragile than before. And that scared me to my core.The only reassurance that he was still here with me was the beeping of the heart monitor, the only sound that told me he was still alive. Chloe and my family had been taking turns bringing me food and clean clothes, but I barely touched them. My appetite was gone, replaced by a gnawing fear that coiled in my stomach. They

    B I A N C AMy heart broke at the sight of him. This wasn't my Damian. My Damian was full of life. This was a shell of the man I loved.I took a deep breath and pushed open the door, the smell of antiseptic hitting me. I walked over to his bed, my legs feeling like they were going to give out at any moment.I took his hand, it was cold and limp. "Hey," I whispered, my voice cracking. "It's me. I'm here."I looked at his face, at the cuts and bruises that marred his perfect features. A wave of anger washed over me. Who could have done this? Who could have wanted to hurt him so badly? I leaned down and kissed his forehead, my tears falling on his skin."You have to fight, Damian," I whispered, my voice filled with desperation. "You have to come back to me. We have a deal, remember? You promised me forever. You can't break your promise."I sat there for a while, just holding his hand and talking to him. I told him about my meeting with Julian, about how I was excited for our future. I to

    B I A N C AI drove blindly, tears streaming down my face and blurring my vision. But I didn’t care. The nurse’s words replayed in my head, unconscious… surgery… critical condition… shot.All I could think about was him. My Damian. The man I loved more than life itself. The man who had promised me forever just this morning. Was he going to break that promise? Was our forever going to be cut short?I couldn’t let that happen. I wouldn’t.I finally arrived at the hospital, screeching into a parking space and not even bothering to lock my car. I ran into the emergency room, my heart pounding in my chest."I'm looking for Damian Moretti," I said, my voice trembling. "He was brought in. He was shot."The nurse at the desk looked up at me, her expression sympathetic. "Are you family?""I'm his wife," I said, my voice breaking.She typed something into her computer, her brow furrowed in concentration. "He's still in surgery," she said, looking up at me. "The doctor will be out to speak with y

    B I A N C AA smile on my lips, I walked back to my office after saying my goodbyes and promising to update him on our progress. Things were starting out pretty well, and I was confident that the business venture would go ahead smoothly.I dialed Damian's number as I settled into my chair and waited for him to pick up."Bianca." His voice was deep and soothing."It's me," I replied, smiling."How did the meeting go?" His voice was eager, but there was an edge to it."It went great." I said happily. "We went over the numbers, the projections, the whole works."I told him the details and what had happened. I wanted him to be excited, wanted him to be proud of me, but instead, all I got in return were one word answers. It was getting under my skin, especially after our conversation."Do you want me to forward the agreement?""No."I pursed my lips together, wondering if there was more."Ok," I whispered, slowly leaning back in the chair.There was silence on both ends, a silence that was

    B I A N C AI arrived at my office a short time later, feeling more energized and confident than I had been in a long time. I greeted the receptionist and headed up to my floor. I was anxious to get to the meeting room and go through the pitch one last time before Julian arrived.When I got there, my assistant, Sophia was waiting for me. She had organized all the materials that I'd need and I quickly went through them, making sure I had all my facts and numbers straight.As I worked, I thought about what I was going to say to Julian. I knew I needed to show him why his company should be the one working with the Salvatore Enterprises, not the other way around.I had been researching the market and there was nothing like what we had to offer on the market yet. With the right distribution and marketing strategies, we could become the premier luxury brand in Europe.There was a knock on the door and Sophia stepped in, followed by Julian."Mr. Vance is here," she said, a smile on her lips.

    B I A N C ADamian came by like he promised later that day. He had just finished a business meeting and was still dressed in a sharp suit that did little to hide his athletic build. My father had pulled him into his study to discuss some business, leaving me alone in the living room, a knot of ner

    B I A N C A Damian dropped me off at the mansion, but not before telling me he had a business meeting he had to attend."Will I see you later?" I asked, surprising myself. "I have a gift for you." I immediately added, which was not a lie. He smiled, a genuine smile that reached his eyes. "I'll tr

A woman in a sleek black dress greeted us at the door."Mr. and Ms. Moretti-Salvatore," she said with a warm smile. "We've been expecting you. Please, come in."She led us to a private room in the ba
