“Relax, sweetheart.” He smirked as he stopped in front of me. “I brought you here to relax. This cabin only has one functional master bedroom prepared for the winter, Sara," Damian said, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrated through the quiet living room.

I instantly locked my jaw, my hands gripping the edge of my coat as I stared up at his towering frame. I forced my cold, untouchable CEO mask to stay firmly in place. "Then you can sleep on the leather sofa do

  • The Billionaire’s Dead Wife Returned   The Lines We Can’t Cross

    Chapter Fifty-SixSaraI stood frozen at the far end of the dim corridor, my hand resting against the cold wall as I watched the shadow move outside Damian’s private study.The brass handle clicked softly. Through the narrow gap in the door, a faint beam of light cut across the dark floorboards. My heart hammered against my ribs as a figure slowly rolled backward into the hall, quietly pulling the heavy oak door shut behind him.Adrian.He was sitting in his wheelchair, holding a thick leather folder against his lap. In the shadow of the hallway, his face wasn't soft or vulnerable. His jaw was set, his dark eyes fixed on the paper in his hands with a cold, piercing intensity I had never seen before."Adrian?" my voice slipped out before I could stop it, barely louder than a whisper.He flinched, instantly tucking the file beneath the dark blanket draped over his lap. When he turned his head to look at me, the sharp edge in his eyes vanished, replaced in a split second by a soft, weary

  • The Billionaire’s Dead Wife Returned   The Woman who knew him

    Chapter Fifty FiveSaraFor several seconds, nobody moved. Evelyn stared at Adrian like she had seen a dead man. Not someone who looked familiar. Not someone she had met before.A ghost.Her face had lost every trace of color, and the hand clutching her purse was trembling so badly that I could see the diamonds on her fingers shaking.I looked at Adrian. He wasn’t smiling anymore. Whatever amusement had been in his eyes moments ago had disappeared.He looked furious and hurt all at once.And for the first time since I had met him, I saw something in his expression that didn’t belong to the charming man who always knew exactly what to say.It looked like hatred.Deep, old hatred.“Adrian?” I whispered.His eyes flicked toward me.And just like that, the expression vanished.He smiled.“Are you all right, Sara?”I frowned.Damian stepped forward.“Mother.” His voice was dangerously calm.Evelyn ignored him and everyone’s questioning gaze and looked at Adrian again. Her lips parted. Noth

  • The Billionaire’s Dead Wife Returned   Family Secrets

    Chapter Fifty FourDamianI killed the Audi’s engine, but the tense silence inside the car remained unbroken. The heavy black iron gates of the Blackwood family mausoleum cut a grim silhouette against the overcast morning sky.I stepped out into the biting wind and walked around to the passenger side, opening the door for Sara. She stepped onto the wet asphalt, pulling her dark trench coat tightly around her shoulders, her jaw set in that familiar, untouchable mask. As soon as we came back home and back to reality, she remembered that she hated me again. The last two days we spent in that cabin was perfect. I wished we could stay there forever. The heavy metallic scrape of a folding ramp announced our third passenger.Adrian had insisted on coming. He had flatly refused to stay behind at the house, claiming he was getting bored at the house but I saw it as an opportunity to get be wherever my wife was. I didn't understand his sudden persistence, but I wasn't about to give him the sati

This cabin only has one functional master bedroom prepared for the winter, Sara," Damian said, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrated through the quiet living room.I instantly locked my jaw, my hands gripping the edge of my coat as I stared up at his towering frame. I forced my cold, untouchable CEO mask to stay firmly in place. "Then you can sleep on the leather sofa down here, Damian. I am not sharing a bed with you. That night was a one time thing."I fully expected him to step into my space. I expected him to trap me against the staircase banister, to use his massive size to overwhelm me, or to lean down and force a bruising, desperate kiss onto my lips. My heart hammered wildly against my ribs in anticipation, my breath hitching as he took another slow step forward.But before I could even voice my refusal, Damian stopped a foot away and deliberately took

  • The Billionaire’s Dead Wife Returned   The Only Way Out

    Chapter Fifty twoDamian“Three days, Sara. You haven’t given me an answer."I leaned my shoulder against the frame of the glass conservatory doors, my arms crossed over my chest as I watched my wife. The morning sun illuminated the soft angles of her face as she carefully arranged a vase of fresh lilies. She froze at my words, her fingers tensing around a green stem before she slowly turned her dark, guarded eyes to meet mine."I've been busy, Damian," she said, her voice dropping into that cool, professional tone she used to protect herself. "Adrian's physical therapy schedule requires my constant attention. I don't have time to discuss dinner dates.""You don't have time, or you're running away?" I asked softly. I stepped into the room, my boots making no sound against the stone floor as I closed the distance between us. I wanted her to see the man who was utterly, completely desperate to win her back. "Every time I try to talk to you in this house, he magically slips or needs his

  • The Billionaire’s Dead Wife Returned   The Shadow Play

    Chapter Fifty OneDamianI stood up slowly from the sofa, the phantom warmth of Sara's skin still burning against my fingertips. My jaw tightened into a rigid, defensive lock as the metallic scraping from the hallway echoed into the quiet foyer.Perfect timing.Adrian West never missed a cue. Ever since he had crawled out of that hospital with heavy metal braces clamped around his legs, he had been manipulating my wife’s crushing guilt just to secure a front-row seat inside my own house. He could see the cracks forming in the three-year wall of hatred he had so carefully helped her build against me. He knew I was winning her back. He knew that every time I touched her, every time I held her in the dark, she was forgetting the script of his little corporate execution."I'll go check on him," Sara murmured, her voice laced with immediate anxiety as she shifted to stand."Stay here, Sara," I said smoothly, my voice carrying a soft but unyielding authority as I placed a hand gently on her
