The walls of the villa house felt colder today. Though not physically, but emotionally. Like grief had settled into the plaster and paint making two parents miserable.

Isla’s fingers trailed along the edge of the shelf in the small reading room just beside the staircase. The room smelled of old paper and something faintly like citrus, probably the cleaner they used here. She wasn’t even looking for anything in particular. Just… something that might make her feel better.

A sound behind Lucian stepped in. He didn’t say anything. They had learned to exist in silence, their pain no longer needing the formality of small talk.

She looked at the drawer where she had kept some.projects or things made by Aaric. Lucian had gone to great lengths to find that stuff just to make Isla smile. She opened the drawer. It was another box of school crafts. She looked at it and then her hands froze.

Inside the drawer was a crumpled piece of colored paper in blue. It was folded in half like a card. Her br

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   Leo’s obsession

    Isla returned to her penthouse just after a draining day of legal meetings and court sessions, only to be greeted by a large black box tied with a silk ribbon. No sender name or card was there.She hesitated. Her instincts prickled.Inside: a silver-framed photo of her from a Fashion Week two years ago.She was on the runway, eyes fierce, lips blood red, wearing that deep wine velvet gown from her final show. Behind the glass was a scrawled note where it was written: “You’ve never looked more powerful. But I still remember the girl behind the fire.”- LShe looked at it with her widened eyes.She placed the frame on the table, staring at it like it might burn through her skin. Her fingers curled into fists.What the hell is Leo doing? She couldn't help but think.Lucian had also texted her earlier saying, “ Elena’s gathering evidence on Claire’s abuse cover-ups. Rest tonight. I’ll see you in the morning. I won't come home tonight as I'm having a meeting with Miss Wynn regarding the

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   The Courtroom Shadows

    The grand courtroom smelled like old mahogany and polished authority. Floor-to-ceiling windows allowed weak sunlight to spill across the wooden panels, but even the light seemed too afraid to touch the drama unfolding inside.Isla Montgomery sat at the plaintiff's side in an elegant navy suit, her stormy grey eyes unreadable, jaw locked with quiet fury. Lucian Blackwell was beside her, dressed in his signature charcoal Armani. But for once, the suit didn’t look like armor. There was vulnerability in the tight set of his mouth, the subtle way his hand reached beneath the table, brushing lightly against hers. Isla didn’t move away.Across the courtroom sat Claire Blackwell, serene in icy white, her sharp cheekbones pulled high with smug satisfaction. Her legal team buzzed around her, confident and cutthroat.The bailiff called the court to order.“All rise for Judge Marianne Dalton.”As the judge entered, silence fell. Isla's heart thudded loudly against her ribcage. This wasn't just ab

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   Almost kiss

    The evening air was Milan was soft, but something about the wind tonight felt sharp like a Knife.Inside the villa, the warmth of the fireplace clashed with the ice in Isla’s veins.She stood in front of the large window, her arms crossed, her storm-grey eyes reflecting the city lights below. Behind her, Lucian and Aaric were curled up on the oversized couch, reading Where the Wild Things Are for the third time that week. The child’s soft giggles clashed with the darkness lingering in Isla’s heart.Claire Blackwell had filed for sole custody of Aaric a few days back.Lucian was a volcano waiting to erupt, but for now, he kept himself in check because of Aaric. Because of Isla. For them.Lucian knew that losing his son would destroy what was left of his soul.***Earlier That Day, Leo Stone’s penthouse was dark, lit only by the skyline and a few scattered candles.He sat in silence, a drink untouched on the marble table beside him, his gaze fixed on a photo in his hand. It was a pict

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   The Alliance Forms

    The morning sky was a bleak sheet of pewter, clouds crawling sluggishly over the London skyline like a threat not yet spoken. Isla stood in the large glass foyer of her company’s headquarters, staring down at the neat rows of file folders Elena had placed in front of her. Her coffee sat untouched. Her heels clicked against the marble floor with a sharp finality as she turned, eyes scanning the names.Each file was a woman. They had searched for more women who were silenced by Claire.Each name was a story. A story of silence. Of a bruise hidden beneath a designer sleeve. Of a career quietly ended because Claire Blackwell said so.And Isla was done staying silent."They’re scared," Elena said, her tone brisk but sympathetic. She’d worn black today, like armor. Isla glanced at her friend, her CFO, her confidante, her bulldog in heels and gave a small nod."Let them be," Isla replied, picking up one of the folders. "Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s acting despite it."***The conf

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   The Court Summons

    The sky above Manhattan was slate-gray, as though the city itself sensed the storm that was brewing.Isla Montgomery stood in the glass-walled living room of her penthouse, holding a thick white envelope in her hand. Her manicured fingers tightened around it, knuckles pale. The crest embossed in silver on the seal mocked her. It was official. It was a war.Lucian walked in, his tailored black suit pristine, his icy blue eyes scanning her face before they dropped to the envelope. The moment he saw it, his jaw clenched. They were already expecting something like this."When did it arrive?""This morning. It was hand-delivered," Isla said, her voice razor-sharp.Lucian took the envelope from her, opened it, and skimmed the contents. His expression didn’t change as he was too practiced for that but she saw the fire flicker behind his eyes. Rage. Fury. And something deeper like guilt."Claire’s filed for sole custody," Isla said before he could. "She’s citing our unstable household. My pa

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   Power Games

    The boardroom had never been this quiet.The polished oak table stretched like a battlefield between Isla and the Blackwell board members, every seat filled with stiff-backed executives whose loyalty had long tilted toward Claire Blackwell’s iron rule.But not today. Today, something changed.Isla Montgomery stood at the head of the table, her storm-grey eyes burning with unshaken determination. Her black power suit, cinched at the waist, gave her the poise of a woman who was not merely surviving, but commanding the entire room.Today, she looked like the ice queen which she was."Before we begin," she said, voice smooth as velvet but edged in iron, "I have a few guests who’d like to share their story."Confused glances darted around the room. Lucian leaned back in his seat, his one hand clenched into a quiet fist under the table, watching Isla with wordless pride.The doors opened.Two women entered.Familiar to some of the board, forgotten by others. One in her late thirties, the ot
