TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 14: A STEP TOWARD HERSELF
Chapter 13: A Step Toward HerselfThe sleek glass building of Bennett Fashion House stood proudly against the morning skyline, its polished exterior reflecting the sunlight like a promise of new beginnings. Sophia stood quietly near the entrance, clutching the strap of her handbag as uncertainty filled her heart. For several moments, she simply stared at the building, unable to take another step.Lily walked beside her and gently nudged her shoulder."You've been standing here for five minutes," Lily said with a teasing smile. "If you keep staring at the building, people might think you're planning to buy it."Sophia let out a nervous laugh before lowering her gaze."I don't know if I belong here anymore," she admitted softly.Lily folded her arms and looked at her seriously."You belonged here long before you became Mrs. Kingsley," she replied. "Today isn't about Damian. It's about Sophia."Sophia remained silent.Taking a slow, steady breath, she lifted her head and looked at the e
TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 13: THE EMPTY MANSION
Damian returned to the Kingsley mansion later than usual, the heavy gates closing behind his car with a dull mechanical sound that echoed faintly through the quiet estate, and as he stepped out into the night air he immediately noticed something different.Not visually at first, but in the absence of something he could not quite name, as if the house itself had exhaled and never breathed in again.He loosened his tie slowly as he walked inside, his footsteps steady against the polished marble floor.But the silence that greeted him felt unusually sharp, almost unfamiliar, and for a moment he paused near the entrance, scanning the dimly lit hallway as if he expecting movement but didn't come.His gaze drifted past her toward the staircase where Sophia used to appear quietly whenever he came home late.Sometimes waiting, sometimes pretending she wasn’t, but always there in one form or another, and now the space felt too still, too empty, as if something had been removed without permissi
TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 12: THE NAME BETWEEN THEM
The night air was sharp against Sophia’s skin as she stood near the edge of the sidewalk, the city lights stretching endlessly behind her like a quiet ocean of gold and glass.She had just stepped out of Lily’s gallery when the sound of a car engine slowed behind her.A sleek black vehicle came to a smooth stop at the curb.Sophia didn’t need to see the license plate to know who it was.The rear door opened.Damian Kingsley stepped out.He didn’t speak at first.Neither did she.The distance between them felt smaller than it should have, yet heavier than ever.A faint breeze passed through, lifting a few strands of Sophia’s hair, but she didn’t move to fix them.Damian’s eyes stayed on her face, unreadable as always, but there was something different this time, something sharper, more focused.Finally, he spoke.“Get in the car,” he said calmly.Sophia didn’t move.“I’m not going anywhere with you right now.”That answer made something tighten briefly in his jaw, though his expression
TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 11: LILLY'S APARTMENT
The apartment was small, warm, and filled with the comforting scent of something home-cooked.Unlike the Kingsley mansion, there was no marble, no chandeliers, no long corridors echoing with silence.Just life.Real, imperfect, lived-in life.Sophia stood by the kitchen counter, rolling sleeves up her arms as she helped Lily stir a pot of soup. The steam rose gently between them, softening the edges of the room.“You’re doing it wrong,” Lily teased lightly, nudging her shoulder.Sophia gave a faint smile. “Then teach me properly.”“That’s the problem,” Lily said with a playful sigh. “You always used to say that in your mansion, you had chefs for this.”Sophia paused for a second.Then she chuckled quietly.“I think I forgot how to do simple things.”Lily glanced at her carefully. “Or you were never allowed to do them.”The words lingered.Sophia didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she focused on stirring the soup a little slower, as if grounding herself in the motion.The last time s
TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 10: RESTLESS MORNING
The first thing Damian Kingsley noticed was the silence. Not the usual kind that filled the mansion at night.. But a deeper, heavier silence that lingered even after the world had already woken up. He opened his eyes slowly. The ceiling above him was unchanged. The same crystal chandelier. The same perfect symmetry of luxury he had always taken pride in. But something felt missing. His hand instinctively reached across the bed. Cold. Empty. Sophia’s side was untouched. Damian stared at the space beside him for a long moment, as if expecting her to appear the way she always did—quietly, gently, like she had never left. But the bed remained still. His jaw tightened slightly. “She really left…” he muttered under his breath, voice rough from sleep. He sat up, running a hand through his hair. For a moment, he simply remained there, motionless, as if trying to process something his mind still refused to accept. Then he stood. The marble floors cold beneath his
TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND CHAPTER 09: EMPTY HOUSE, EMPTY HEART
The iron gates of the Kingsley mansion closed with a dull clang.Damian Kingsley stood motionless in the driveway, his eyes fixed on the road where the taxi had disappeared only moments ago. The afternoon breeze stirred the trees lining the estate, but he barely noticed.For the first time, coming home felt unbearable.He had spent years believing the mansion was a symbol of everything he had achieved.Now it felt like a monument to everything he had lost.Maria approached quietly, her hands clasped in front of her."Sir," she called gently.Damian didn't turn around."She really left."It wasn't a question.Maria lowered her eyes."Yes, sir."Silence stretched between them before Damian walked into the house.The grand foyer echoed with every step he took. It had always been quiet, but never like this.There was no soft music drifting from the kitchen.No scent of freshly brewed coffee.No familiar voice asking if he had eaten.Only silence.He climbed the staircase slowly and pushe
