The silence that followed Damian’s final declaration was crushing. It spread through the suite like a thick fog, curling into every corner, pressing against every chest. Lydia’s stillness became sharper in that quiet, her calm gaze fixed on him like tempered steel. Ava, once a picture of defiance, now seemed unsettled. Her hand hovered too long over her glass, her smirk barely holding, as though silence itself threatened to expose her weakness.

Into that silence, sharp and intrusive, came the s

  • 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

    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

    Samuel's POV The engine came alive the moment I turned the key. I pulled out of the compound without another thought, my mind refusing to settle. Ava's letter was still sitting on the passenger seat beside me, and no matter how many times I replayed her words in my head, they still didn't make sense. She had left before sunrise. She hadn't called. She hadn't waited for me. She had simply disappeared. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. "You really think you can leave without telling me where you're going?" I muttered. "Not this time, Ava." The morning traffic had begun to build, but I barely noticed it. My thoughts wandered from one possibility to another. Maybe she'd gone back to her apartment. Maybe she'd realized she'd forgotten something important. It wasn't much to hold on to, but it was enough. I turned the car toward her apartment. A few minutes later, I pulled up in front of the building and stepped out. I climbed the short flight of stairs and rang the

    Damian's Point of ViewFor several long seconds, I simply stared at the envelope resting in my hands.The room was silent except for the faint ticking of the clock hanging on the wall. Outside, I could hear hurried footsteps echoing through the corridor as nurses rushed patients from one ward to another, but inside the consultation room, everything felt strangely still.My fingers hovered over the broken seal.I wasn't afraid of reading the letter.I was afraid of what it might change.Taking a slow breath, I slipped my finger beneath the flap and carefully unfolded the paper inside. It was only a single sheet, slightly wrinkled, with a small stain of dried blood near the edge.My chest tightened.Andrew had written this while fighting for his life.At the top of the page, only one word greeted me.Damian.I swallowed the lump forming in my throat before forcing myself to continue.If you're reading this, then I didn't make it.My eyes remained fixed on those words for several seconds

    The nurse stopped in front of a wooden door and turned to face me."Please wait here, Mr. Damian.The doctor will be with you shortly."I gave a small nod, though I wasn't sure she noticed. My throat had gone dry, and suddenly, even breathing felt like work.She offered me a sympathetic smile before quietly walking away, leaving me alone in the silent corridor.I lowered myself into one of the chairs outside the consultation room.For the first time since receiving the call, I had nothing to distract me.My eyes wandered around the hallway. Nurses hurried from one ward to another, pushing wheelchairs and stretchers. Somewhere down the corridor, a child cried until his mother gathered him into her arms. A doctor walked briskly past me, flipping through a patient's file without looking up.Life continued around me.Mine felt as though it had been placed on hold.I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees, and rubbed a hand over my face.What was I even doing here?Andrew and I had n

I didn’t look back ,not at Damian, not at Ava, not at the mess I was leavin

    I was close to the dining table when a sudden thought flashed across my mind,I had forgotten to send Ava the message.I stopped mid-step, turned sharply, and rushed back to my room.My hands worked quickly, almost on instinct. I snatched my phone from the vanity, unlocked it, and navigated straight

    From the moment I sat at the table, with Ava across from me and Damian beside me, I could feel the tension weaving through the room, alive. The dim, golden lighting inside NEW Age Suites cast soft shadows on Ava's face, highlighting the confident smirk she kept trying to hide behind polite expressi

    The road to the house was busy as always, a restless stream of cars and headlights cutting through the night. Damian drove in silence, his jaw set tight, the muscles along his face pulled into a mask of fury that could crack at any second. His hands gripped the steering wheel as if it were the thro
