The air inside the penthouse was tight with unspoken words and unresolved fury.

Juliette stood by the security display console, eyes fixed on the digital logs that had consumed her attention for hours. Behind her, Damon paced like a man trapped inside a collapsing fortress. His steps echoed with frustration, his silence even louder than his accusations.

For two nights now, neither had truly slept. They moved around each other like shadows - present but detached, haunted by more than just the danger outside. It was the danger inside that had started to fray the edges of their bond.

And neither of them could ignore it anymore.

“I told you I had proof,” Juliette said, voice sharp, trying to break through his silence. “That login wasn’t me. I was at Mason’s bedside when the account was accessed”.

Damon turned, eyes dark. “And I believe you”.

“Do you?” she asked, turning slowly to face him. “Because ever since Cassandra showed you that file, you’ve been looking at me like I might be the nex

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 160: On the Brink

    The city was cloaked in gray clouds, a storm threatening just beyond the skyline, a perfect reflection of the tempest building inside Damon Thorne.He stood alone in the center of the Thorne Enterprises boardroom, now stripped of its once-commanding presence. Empty chairs circled the long obsidian table. The silence pressing down was not stillness - it was judgment. Hours earlier, this room had echoed with raised voices, panic, blame, fractured loyalty. The scandals. The betrayals. The relentless leaks. They were mounting into a crescendo destined to explode.But Damon was done running.Today, he would face the fire to every last flame.His fists clenched at his sides, the bandage around his left knuckle still fresh — a reminder of the crystal tumbler he’d shattered in fury the night before. The blood had dried. The pain had dulled. But the rage burned sharp and alive.He wasn’t just fighting to save a company anymore.He was fighting for his name. His family. His son’s future.And th

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 159: Dark Revelations

    The rain came down in sheets, slicking the windows of Juliette’s black sedan as it crept through the winding lanes of the Thorne estate. She hadn’t planned on returning, at least not yet but the folder in her lap made it impossible to stay away.She’d spent the morning in a downtown archive, digging through sealed court records and financial transactions. The source? A former legal clerk turned hacker, an old contact of Evelyn LaRue, not to be confused with Damon’s mother. What Juliette had found was worse than she'd imagined.She parked. No announcement. No warning. Just her, the storm, and the truth clutched in her hands.Now, she sat in the library, soaked and silent, flipping through a folder of redacted documents that painted a picture she couldn’t reconcile.“Juliette?” Damon’s voice was soft but cautious. She hadn’t heard him enter.She didn’t look up. “You never told me your father had a second family.”Silence followed. Heavy. Immediate. Like gravity had shifted.Damon steppe

    The penthouse was quieter than it had ever been. The kind of silence that wasn’t peaceful, but heavy. Suffocating. It pressed into the walls, seeped into the furniture, and weighed down the people inside.Juliette stood in the kitchen, a mug of tea untouched in her hands. She had made it hours ago. The steam had long faded. The warmth bled out.Like everything else lately.Damon hadn’t spoken since the news broke. Since the leak. Since the world began tearing them apart from the inside.The headline had gone viral:Charity Funds Funneled to Secret Accounts Tied to Thorne Executive.And the person at the center of it?LaRue Evelyn - Damon’s longtime friend. Godmother to Mason. One of the few people Juliette had begun to trust.Now, she was the face of a public scandal.And all fingers were pointing to Juliette as the one who let it slip.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Damon entered the room, pale and tight-jawed. He h

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 157: Crossfire

    The city was cloaked in pre-dawn silence, its towering skyline etched in shades of steel blue as the sun prepared to rise. Inside a secured operations room deep in the lower level of Thorne Tower, Damon stood before a massive screen filled with maps, encrypted feeds, and lines of classified Intel. Juliette leaned over the central table, sharp-eyed and relentless.Today was the day they would fight back.After months of lies, betrayals, and threats to their very existence, the counteroffensive was finally in motion. And with the backing of Rhys Carrington — a powerful but formerly adversarial tech magnate they now had the cyber tools, media leverage, and legal groundwork to strike at the heart of the conspiracy."Everything's ready," Juliette confirmed, sliding a USB drive across the table. "The files contain irrefutable evidence: offshore accounts, altered ledgers, and forged contracts - all pointing back to the core of the operation. And we've triple verified the chain of custody. Th

    The sharp scent of espresso lingered in the air of the penthouse conference room. Damon Thorne stood at the far end of the glass wall, arms folded, the cityscape stretching behind him like a war zone he was about to re-enter. Juliette paced behind him, her heels tapping softly on the polished floor as she read and reread the message that had arrived only hours ago."He agreed to meet," she said finally, breaking the silence. "But he wants it on neutral ground. No aides. No media. Just us."Damon didn’t look away from the skyline. "Because he wants us cornered. Vulnerable.""Because he knows we have no choice," Juliette replied. "You said it yourself — we’re bleeding allies. The board is fractured. The media is sharpening its knives. If we don’t act soon—""I know." Damon turned, his face like stone, eyes weary. "I know."The name on the message was unexpected.Sebastian Vance.CEO of Vance International. Longtime rival. A man known more for hostile takeovers and ruthless acquisitions

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife   Chapter 155: Breaking Point

    The boardroom at Thorne International was thick with unease. Twelve faces stared back at Damon, some cloaked in corporate calm, others barbed with veiled disdain. At the head of the table, Damon stood like a fortress under siege, his navy suit immaculate and his gaze unflinching."Let me be clear," he said, his voice composed but laced with steel, "I am not stepping down."A ripple of murmurs passed around the table. Hollis Davenport, a senior partner and longtime investor, leaned forward with his fingers steeped. “Damon, we respect your leadership. But the public backlash, the stock volatility, and now these... new developments—”Damon cut in. “You mean the anonymous leaks. The slander. The orchestrated chaos? We’ve seen worse and survived”.“Not like this,” said Madeline Ross, the company’s chief legal officer. Her tone was measured, but her eyes cut sharply. “There are questions about your ethics. Your judgment. And your ability to separate personal entanglements from corporate deci
