Chapter 132: Silent Threats

Author: Ernest Brooks
last update Last Updated: 2025-07-08 00:48:17
The night after Leo’s disappearance stretched long into the early hours of the morning, every second a slow drip of dread for Damon and Juliette.

Juliette hadn’t slept. She sat curled in the leather armchair of Damon’s study, her eyes fixed on the wall-mounted monitor that displayed a looping feed of the building’s live security channels. Her fingers clutched a mug of now-cold tea she couldn’t bring herself to drink. Each flicker on the screen made her heart thump faster.

Down the hall, Mason lay under tight medical watch, still recovering from the recent attack. The memory of the bruises on his body kept flashing through her mind like a living nightmare.

Damon had secluded himself in the library, the only room without cameras. Even Garrick hadn’t been allowed inside. He’d dismissed the entire security team for the night, relying solely on two hand-picked guards at the penthouse door.

Isolation was creeping in, not just from the outside world but from within their own walls.

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 244: The Legacy We Choose

    The morning sun broke through the arched windows of the Thorne estate, casting golden beams over the freshly restored wood floors. Outside, the manicured garden glistened with dew, and in the kitchen, the aroma of French roast coffee mingled with the light citrus scent of lilies Damon had placed in a vase on the marble island.Juliette stood at the sink, her hand rested gently over her stomach. She wasn’t showing yet, but the life growing within her carried a silent gravity – one that reached beyond the child itself. It was the inheritance she would one day pass on.It wasn't just the baby, or Mason — it was the question of legacy.Behind her, Damon entered, his eyes immediately falling on her. He watched her in silence for a beat, then approached and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder."You're thinking again," he murmured.Juliette smiled softly, leaning into his touch. "I'm always thinking. But this morning, it's louder”.He turned her in his a

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 243: Letters We Never Sent

    The attic was warm and dust-kissed, a sanctuary of memories and forgotten corners. A single bulb hung low from the ceiling, casting a sepia glow across the room as Juliette slowly pulled open the wooden chest. Its hinges groaned like old ghosts waking from slumber. Inside, nestled beneath a faded shawl and a photograph of her younger self, was a box she hadn’t seen in years.Her fingers trembled as she lifted it.Time had softened the edges, warped the lid, but the ribbon — a red silk thread of memory — remained intact. Red silk, slightly frayed at the ends, the same one Damon had once used to tie her hair back while they danced barefoot in the garden.She untied it gently.Inside were dozens of letters: some neat and precise, others tear-stained and frantically scrawled. None of them had ever been mailed.Juliette sat cross-legged on the wooden floor,Damon stood at the threshold, silent, as if afraid to intrude on something sacred. She glanced up at him, her eyes flickering with emo

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 242: Rebuilding Us

    The first morning back at the Thorne estate dawned with the scent of dew and magnolia.Juliette stood by the tall windows in the master bedroom, her fingers curled lightly around the sheer white curtains. The estate had been restored beautifully; every corner repainted, every scorched frame replaced, every memory somehow preserved in new wood and polished stone. But it wasn’t the aesthetics she noticed. It was the stillness. The space between the walls.The hum of something familiar and sacred beneath her bare feet on the cool floorboards.Behind her, Damon stirred awake. She heard the shift of cotton sheets and the quiet sigh he made when he reached out and didn’t find her beside him. She turned slowly, just in time to see him rise – hair tousled, shirtless, eyes still hazy with sleep.He blinked at her. "You okay?"Juliette nodded, her expression unreadable. "Just... trying to remember how this place used to feel”.Damon swung his legs over the side of the bed. “And?”A pause.Then:

    Flashback: Six Days ago.The courtroom was tense, the air thick with whispers and shifting gazes. But only one seat in the defense was filled.Damon Thorne stood alone, dressed in black, his expression unreadable.Juliette couldn’t be there. Not after the explosion. Not while doctors fought to stabilize her and their unborn child. And though he ached to be at her side, Damon had made a promise to see this fight through, to end it properly.Judge Maren adjusted his glasses and looked directly at Damon."This court has reviewed the new evidence and testimony," the judge began, voice solemn. "The charges against Mr. Damon Thorne and Mrs. Juliette Thorne are hereby dismissed. This case is found to be without merit, lacking in both substance and legal foundation”.A murmur swept through the courtroom. Relief – Shock and Quiet acceptance.Damon remained still, absorbing the weight of vindication. Not just for him but for Juliette as well. For everything they had suffered to protect what the

    The sky was a palette of bruised colors: deep purples bleeding into burnt orange, as the first tendrils of dawn crept across the horizon. The monastery grounds, once echoing with ancient whispers and ritual chants, now stood silent in the aftermath. The last traces of the ritual’s power shimmered faintly in the air, leaving behind only stillness and the scent of ash and lavender. Damon and Juliette stood in the heart of the crumbled sanctum, wrapped in each other’s arms. They trembled not from fear, but from the weight of what had finally ended. The curse, centuries old and soaked in blood and sorrow, was broken. Not by vengeance. Not by death. But by a love that refused to surrender. Tears streaked Juliette’s cheeks – not of sorrow, but release. Damon cupped her face gently, brushing them away with reverence. “It’s over,” she whispered, the words feeling almost foreign. He nodded, voice thick. “We’re free”. They stood still as the world spun slowly around them, the sky brighteni

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 239: The Breaking of Chains

    For a long moment after Juliette’s final vow, silence reigned in the ancient chamber. The air shimmered, still charged with the weight of all they had just spoken. Damon’s arms remained wrapped around her, his breath shallow, eyes fixed on the circle of scorched symbols now dimming beneath their feet. He had not wanted this. Had fought against it. But watching Juliette stand: alive, whole, and filled with fire — had shattered the last of his resistance. He hadn’t agreed to the ritual out of belief. He had agreed because of her. Because even when the world had demanded she forgets him, she still fought her way back. A low hum vibrated through the chamber floor. The symbols flared again: brief, golden, and defiant. A wind, born from nowhere, rushed through the space. Juliette’s hand found his. And then the storm broke. The sky, now a tempest of roiling black clouds and electric fury, mirrored the chaos inside Damon’s heart. As the last syllables of his vow echoed through the anci
