THE BRIDE MY STEPSISTER GAVE AWAY CHAPTER 20: THE HUSBAND SHE GAVE AWAY
Sophia couldn’t stop thinking about Damien. It was strange. She had never even met the man properly before the marriage. She had only heard stories. Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving. A man who rarely smiled. A man who had never been interested in love. A man who expected people to obey him. Those were the things her friends had told her when they heard about the marriage proposal. At first, Sophia had been excited. A billionaire husband. The Blackwood family. A life of luxury. It sounded perfect. Then her friends had started talking. “You know what people say about Damien Blackwood?” “He’s terrifying.” “I heard he once fired an entire team because one person made a mistake.” “My cousin’s friend worked for his company. She said he barely speaks to anyone.” “Imagine being married to a man like that.” “He’s handsome, but what’s the point if he has no heart?” Those words had slowly destroyed Sophia’s excitement. She had become afraid. She didn’t want to spend the rest
THE BRIDE MY STEPSISTER GAVE AWAY CHAPTER 19: THE WOMAN HE CAN’T FORGET
“I can’t stop thinking about her.”Damien stood motionless in the greenhouse.Daniel’s words replayed in his mind.“The vehicle was stolen from someone connected to the Blackwood family.”The peaceful atmosphere that had existed only minutes ago had completely disappeared.Emma stood a few feet away from him, her cheeks still warm from their unexpected kiss.Neither of them mentioned it.Neither seemed to know what to say.But Damien couldn’t erase the feeling of her lips against his.He had kissed Emma.His wife.The woman he had once regarded as nothing more than a replacement bride.Now, somehow, she was becoming the woman who occupied his thoughts more than anyone else.Daniel cleared his throat.“Sir?”Damien’s expression hardened.“What exactly did you find?”Daniel lifted the tablet in his hand.“The SUV that struck Mrs. Blackwood was reported stolen two days ago.”“Who owned it?”Daniel hesitated.“Victor Blackwood.”Emma’s eyes widened.“Victor?”Damien’s face remained unread
THE BRIDE MY STEPSISTER GAVE AWAY CHAPTER 18: THEIR FIRST KISS
“Someone wanted the truth buried… and they succeeded.”The words echoed in Damien’s mind long after Daniel left the hospital room.The driver was dead.That meant whoever had orchestrated the attack had erased the only witness.Damien stood by the window, his hands in his pockets.Rain continued to fall outside, blurring the city lights.Behind him, Emma watched quietly.“You think the driver was murdered?”Damien turned to her.“I don’t deal in guesses.”“I deal in facts.”“But whoever planned this didn’t want us asking questions.”Emma lowered her eyes.She couldn’t understand why anyone would want to harm Richard.The Blackwood family was respected throughout the country.Who could possibly hate them enough to attempt murder?The following morning, the doctor returned to examine Emma.After a thorough checkup, he smiled.“You’re recovering well.”“If you don’t experience dizziness today, you can go home this afternoon.”Emma’s face brightened.“Really?”The doctor nodded.“But no h
THE BRIDE MY STEPSISTER GAVE AWAY CHAPTER 17: IN HIS ARMS
“Sir… we’ve reviewed the CCTV footage.” Damien looked up sharply. The head of security stood outside the emergency room, breathing heavily after rushing to the hospital. “What did you find?” Damien asked. The guard swallowed. “The SUV didn’t lose control.” Richard Blackwood frowned. “What are you saying?” The guard handed a tablet to Damien. “We reviewed every camera around the estate.” “The driver deliberately turned the vehicle toward you, Chairman.” Silence fell over the hallway. Richard’s face lost its color. Damien replayed the footage. The black SUV had a clear path to leave through the front gate. Instead… It swerved sharply toward the garden. Toward Richard. Emma had seen it just in time. Without thinking about her own safety, she had pushed Richard away. The SUV struck her instead. Damien’s grip tightened around the tablet. His knuckles turned white. “So it wasn’t an accident,” he said coldly. “No, sir.” “We’ve already infor
THE BRIDE MY STEPSISTER GAVE AWAY CHAPTER 16: A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT
“Mrs. Blackwood, don’t go outside!” Emma stopped halfway down the staircase. She turned to the maid. “The young woman is still waiting?” The maid nodded nervously. “Yes, Mrs. Blackwood. Security won’t let her in, but she refuses to leave.” Emma frowned. “I’ll speak to her.” Before she could take another step, Damien’s deep voice echoed through the hall. “No.” Emma turned. He had just walked out of his study, his expression calm as always. “You don’t know who she is,” he continued. “It isn’t safe.” Emma looked at him in surprise. “I’ll only be gone for a minute.” Damien walked toward her. “If someone has business with the Blackwood family, security will handle it.” Emma hesitated before nodding. “Alright.” Damien looked at the head of security. “Find out who she is.” “Yes, sir.” The guard hurried outside. A few minutes later, he returned. “Sir, the woman left.” “Did she give a name?” “No.” Damien’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Check the security cameras and fi
THE BRIDE MY STEPSISTER GAVE AWAY CHAPTER 15: FRONT PAGE WIFE
“Mrs. Blackwood… you’re on the front page of every business newspaper in the country.” The morning sun poured into Emma’s bedroom as she slowly opened her eyes. For the first time since moving into Blackwood Mansion, she had slept peacefully. Last night’s charity gala still lingered in her mind. The elegant ballroom. The flashing cameras. The whispers. And Damien… She smiled faintly as she remembered the way he had stood by her side throughout the evening. A gentle knock interrupted her thoughts. “Mrs. Blackwood?” Margaret called from outside. “I’m awake.” Margaret entered carrying a breakfast tray and several newspapers. “Good morning.” Emma smiled. “Good morning, Margaret.” As Margaret placed the tray on the table, one newspaper slipped onto the floor. Emma bent to pick it up. The moment she saw the front page, her eyes widened. There was a full-page photograph of her and Damien dancing together. The headline read: “THE ICE KING MELTS? DAMIE
