The night carried a false calm, the sort that could trick a careless mind into believing nothing stirred beneath its surface. But Lydia had never been careless. She knew that stillness was never innocent. Quiet was a ledger. It revealed who held their breath, who trembled in shadows, who waited for the knife to fall. And tonight, every hushed corner whispered the same truth—her husband was splintering, piece by fragile piece.

From her place upstairs she heard him leaving. His footfalls landed o

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 93

    Chapter 93 Damian’s Point of View The television had been on for almost an hour. I hadn’t registered a single word. My laptop sat open on the coffee table, company reports waiting, but my eyes kept drifting to Andrew’s letter beside it. Then my phone vibrated. I barely glanced at the screen before picking it up. BREAKING: Carter Group CEO at the Centre of Fresh Scandal. My heart stuttered. I opened the first article. The photographs loaded one after another, impossible to look away from. “Lydia…” I scrolled through every link.. “Damn it.” I dragged a hand through my hair and started pacing. This wasn’t only about her anymore. The divorce scandal had already put the company under a microscope. If shareholders started losing faith now, the stock would take the hit. Of all the times for this to surface. Another thought cut through the noise. Rachel. She was the only one who gained anything from watching Lydia burn. After everything that happened with her job

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 92

    Lydia's Point of ViewI woke before my alarm.For a few moments, I lay still, staring at the ceiling as the events of the past few days drifted through my mind one after another. Each memory settled heavily on my chest, making it harder to breathe.I slowly turned my head toward the empty side of the bed.The sheets were neatly made, untouched, yet I could still remember the mornings when Damian used to occupy that space. Even after everything he had done, the silence beside me felt unfamiliar.A bitter smile tugged at my lips before quickly disappearing."So this is what loneliness feels like," I whispered.The words echoed softly around the room.I shut my eyes for a second, refusing to let the tears gathering there fall. I had spent too many nights crying over a man who had stopped choosing me long before he walked out of our marriage.Today, I couldn't afford to break.After taking a shower and getting dressed, I stood in front of the mirror.The woman staring back at me looked po

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 91

    Damian's Point of ViewSleep never came.I spent the entire night lying on my bed with my eyes fixed on the ceiling, replaying everything that had happened over the last few days. Every time I closed my eyes, Andrew's face appeared before me, followed by the shaky handwriting in the letter he had left behind.By morning, I had made up my mind.There was only one place that could give me the answers I needed.After taking a quick shower and changing into a dark suit, I picked up my car keys and left the house. The drive into the city was unusually quiet, but my thoughts were anything but peaceful.Andrew had built his business over several decades.If there was anything he had been hiding, it had to be somewhere inside his office.Nearly forty minutes later, I pulled into the parking lot of Andrew's company. The building stood exactly as I remembered it, but something about it felt different now.The flags hanging outside fluttered gently in the wind, while employees walked in and out

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 90

    IDamian's Point of ViewThe drive home felt longer than usual.I kept my eyes on the road, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. Andrew's letter rested on the passenger seat beside me, and no matter how hard I tried to focus, the words he'd written refused to leave my head.The city bustled around me as though nothing had happened. By the time I pulled into the driveway, the afternoon had begun to fade. The security guard hurried to open the gate, greeting me as I drove past, but I barely acknowledged him.I parked the car and remained seated for a few moments.My hands rested on the steering wheel while I stared through the windshield, trying to make sense of everything that had happened since morning. Just yesterday, Andrew had been threatening to strip me of everything I owned. Today, he was gone, leaving behind nothing but a letter filled with questions.I reached for the envelope beside me before finally stepping out of the car.The house was unusually quiet.As soon as I wa

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 89

    Lydia's PovBy the time I arrived at the company,the building was already buzzing with activity.Employees moved briskly through the lobby, balancing files and cups of coffee as they hurried toward the elevators. Conversations died the moment I walked past, only to resume in hushed whispers after I was gone. I didn't need anyone to tell me what they were discussing.Rachel's dismissal had become the talk of the company.I acknowledged the greetings directed at me with a polite nod before stepping into the private elevator. The doors slid shut, shutting out the noise of the lobby, and for the first time that morning, I was alone with my thoughts.The ride to the executive floor was short, but my mind was anything but quiet.The last few days had changed everything.For years, I had stood beside Damian while he made every decision. I had watched him build an empire, believing there would always be a place for me in it. Instead, I had become a stranger in my own marriage, forced to fight

    Ava's PovThe sun had barely risen when the taxi stopped in front of my apartment building.I paid the driver, stepped out, and adjusted the cap sitting low over my face. Every passing car made me glance over my shoulder. I couldn't explain why, but ever since I left Samuel's house, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me.I pulled my bag closer and hurried toward the gate.The maid opened it almost immediately."Madam!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening with surprise. "You're back."I forced a small smile, though it barely reached my eyes."I only came to pick up a few things. I won't be staying."Her smile faded."You won't?"I shook my head and walked into the compound without another word. The familiar surroundings suddenly felt strange, as though I no longer belonged there.Inside my apartment, I headed straight for the bedroom.I didn't have much time.Opening the wardrobe, I reached for a small travel bag and folded a few clothes into it. I packed only the esse

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 36

    Damian had carried the weight of silence far longer than he could bear. It sat on him like an iron coat, heavy, suffocating, gnawing into his ribs until every breath carried fragments of unspoken questions. He had told himself for weeks that it was better this way,that to leave some truths untouche

    Samuel ReckoningThe room was silent, too silent for his restless thoughts. Samuel sat on the edge of the armchair, elbows propped on his knees, staring at the glass of untouched whiskey balanced in his hand. The city stretched out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of his apartment, lights blinki

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 16

    The air around the house that day was fresh,yet the thickness could be felt far beyond a thousand metres. Outside, the evening wind rustled the bougainvillea by the gate, but inside, not a single sound stirred.Damian pulled up in the driveway, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel. The

  • Scent of my mistress    Chapter 15

    Ava walked into the office that day with the same elegance she wore like armor — a black pencil skirt that hugged her hips, a silk blouse that caught the light, her heels clicking in deliberate rhythm against the polished floor. But no amount of poise could soften the heaviness that hung in the air
