Damian’s POV

The headlines were still buzzing in my head.

Every paper, every site and every whisper in the business world had Lena’s name on their lips.

Mine and Adrian’s.

They said she had a past with him, they said I was a fool. They said my name, the Blackwell name, wasn’t untouchable anymore.

It didn’t matter how many lawyers I hired or how many calls I made to silence the story, dirt spread faster than truth. People wanted scandal, they wanted cracks in my armor.

And they thought they had found it.

I leaned back in my chair, staring out at the Los Angeles skyline, glittering and cold against the night. My reflection stared back at me from the glass, my hard eyes, jaw tight and fingers curled into fists.

I remembered the way she cried earlier. The way she tried to hide it, to turn her face from me so I wouldn’t see.

Lena wasn’t weak but the world wanted to make her break.

And it wasn’t just about her anymore. It was about us, about the child she carried.

My jaw tightened until it

  • Owned by the Cold Ceo   The threat

    Damian’s POVThe morning had stretched endlessly, though the clock on my desk read only eleven.Stacks of contracts lay open in front of me, untouched. Figures, percentages, proposals, all the things I used to thrive on, were blurred together into meaningless ink. Normally, I would’ve been dissecting every line, planning the next move for Blackwell Group with military precision.But today… my mind kept slipping.No matter how hard I tried to focus, it wasn’t numbers I saw. It was Lena, her shy smile from last night, the soft warmth of her lips, the way her voice trembled when she whispered she was willing to give us a chance.I rubbed the bridge of my nose, setting the pen down. Then the sharp buzz of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I grabbed it instantly.“Blackwell.”“Sir, it’s Harris,” a clipped voice said. Harris, he was one of the bodyguards assigned to Lena. His tone was tense. “We have a situation.”My chest tightened. “What situation?”“Mrs. Blackwell went out with he

  • Owned by the Cold Ceo   Chapter 61: A Vow

    Lena’s POVI was sitting on the edge of the bed, brushing through my hair slowly, trying to quiet my mind. It didn’t work, I still thought about the garden, the way he had walked with me without rushing, asking questions and listening.He’s changing, I thought or maybe I’m the one changing?My chest tightened. I didn’t know which scared me more.The sudden knock on my door startled me.Before I could answer, the door opened slightly, and Damian stepped inside.He wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms and dark slacks. He looked softer this way. My pulse jumped.“Am I disturbing?” he asked, his voice low and calm.I shook my head quickly. “No. Not at all.”His eyes moved briefly to the cup of warm milk on my nightstand. “Can’t sleep?”“Not yet,” I admitted. “Sometimes it helps to drink milk first.”He nodded once, then walked in and pulled out the chair near my vanity.I set my brush down and folded my hands on my lap, unsure what to do with myself.After a moment,

  • Owned by the Cold Ceo   Chapter 60: A different side of him

    Damian’s POVWhen I woke up this morning, I stretched my hand and felt her still sleeping. I turned to look at her.Her hair was sprawled across the pillow, hiding half her face. I reached over before I could stop myself, brushing the strands gently away. My fingers lingered on her cheek longer than I should have, and I caught myself staring.Her eyes blinked open, they were unfocused at first but when she realized I was watching her, she quickly turned away, flustered.My hand caught her chin, turning her face back toward me. “Don’t hide,” I murmured.She froze, her lips parting, her cheeks blooming red.I bent down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Nothing forceful or demanding. I looked at her and said. “Good morning.”“G-Good morning,” she whispered.“How was your night?” I asked, my eyes holding hers.She swallowed, her voice barely audible. “Good.”I got up, threw on my robe and ordered the maid to make breakfast for both of us. She watched me the entire time, quiet, curious,

  • Owned by the Cold Ceo   Chapter 59: Only Mine

    Lena's POV His lips moved against mine, slow at first, like he was giving me a chance to pull away but I didn’t.My fingers curled tighter into his shirt, my chest rising and falling too fast.“Damian…” I whispered against his mouth, my voice breaking.He pulled back just slightly, his forehead resting against mine, his breath warm. “Say it again,” he demanded softly.My heart pounded. “Let’s give us… a try.”That was all he needed.He kissed me again, harder this time, backing me gently against the wall. His hand slid to my waist. I gasped, my hands were trembling as I pressed them flat against his chest. I could feel the strength beneath the fabric, the way his heartbeat thundered almost as wildly as mine.“You drive me crazy, Lena,” he muttered between kisses, his voice low and raw. “Every second I try to hold back, I fail.”His words melted something inside me. All the walls I’d built, all the fear I carried, started to crack.I tilted my head, letting his lips trail along my ja

  • Owned by the Cold Ceo   The kiss

    Lena’s POVFor a moment, the world stopped.Damian’s lips were on mine, firm and possessive, right there in front of everyone. The music, the gasps and the applause, it all blurred into the background.All I could feel was him.The CEO everyone whispered about, the cold man who kept people at arm’s length… was holding me like I was the only thing that mattered.When he pulled back, the room erupted. Applause, whistles, laughter. My cheeks burned hot, my heart pounding so loud, I thought people might hear it.Kate was the first to rush over, practically bouncing on her heels. “Lena!” she squealed, grabbing my arm. “Oh my God! Did that just happen? Did Damian Blackwell just kiss you in front of everyone?”“Kate—” I stammered, still dazed.“No, no, don’t you Kate me,” she teased, eyes sparkling. “You said he was cold, distant, barely talked to you” She gestured wildly at Damian, who was still holding my hand. “This man just turned into Mr. Romantic in front of the press! Girl, you need t

  • Owned by the Cold Ceo   Chapter 57: The birthday party

    Damian’s POVLena's birthday came faster than I expected.The preparations had taken all week. I had approved every flower, every dish, every song on the playlist. Things I would normally hand off to others, I chose them myself. There were white orchids, the ones I had noticed she once stopped to look at in a boutique window, they all llined the entire ballroom. Gold drapes shimmered under soft lighting, they were elegant but warm, nothing like the cold luxury parties I had attended all my life.I stood at the center of the ballroom before the event began, adjusting my cufflinks while staff rushed around with last-minute touches. “Sir,” my assistant murmured, “everything is in place, the guests will begin arriving in two hours.”I nodded. “Good, there should be no press or outsiders. If someone tries to step in, security will handle it.”“Yes, sir.”------By the time evening approached, I found myself waiting in the living room at home, nerves I hadn’t felt in years were tugging at
