The aftermath of the storm was not silence; it was chaos wrapped in uncertain relief.The news of Celeste’s downfall had spread like wildfire. Major media outlets ran continuous coverage of the explosive exposé, showcasing Juliette’s flash drive and the damning evidence within. Donations to Celeste’s fraudulent charities were frozen. Arrest warrants for several of her key allies were issued. Investigations were underway in multiple jurisdictions.And yet, Celeste herself was gone.She had vanished in the confusion of the raid on her estate the night before. Helicopters had circled, black SUVs had stormed the gates, but by the time the law enforcement agencies arrived, Celeste had fled. Her home was abandoned, her staff scattered, and all signs pointed to a calculated retreat rather than a desperate flight.In the penthouse overlooking Manhattan, Damon sat on the edge of the bed, bruised and bandaged. He had taken a hit during the raid; an ambush that had nearly cost him his life. His
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 99: The Final Battle Begins
The storm had been brewing for months. Lies had been exposed; alliances shattered, and wounds both old and new left open. Now, as the sun set over the Thorne skyline, Damon and Juliette stood shoulder-to-shoulder, prepared to end the war that had almost cost them everything.Their headquarters was no longer Damon's sprawling penthouse but a high-security operations suite in a discreet downtown building. Around a large conference table sat the remnants of Damon's loyal inner circle; those who hadn't been bought, blackmailed, or broken. Each of them wore the same expression: hardened focus and barely concealed fury.Juliette stood at the head of the table, her fingers flying over a laptop as a digital schematic of Celeste’s empire glowed on the wall-mounted screen."Celeste controls everything through three main fronts," she explained, her voice clear and commanding. "The first is her financial web shell companies, offshore accounts, and falsified ledgers. We've already submitted the ev

The aftermath of the gala was a whirlwind. The next morning, headlines screamed with scandal: "Charity Queen Celeste Accused of Embezzlement", "Juliette Thorne Exposes High Society Fraud" and "Damon Faces Ghosts of His Past”.Juliette sat by the bay window of their penthouse, the skyline still waking to morning light. Her phone buzzed constantly, but she ignored it. Mason was safely asleep in the next room, and Damon was in his study, rallying damage control with his legal team. But even as the city reeled, Juliette knew it wasn’t over. Not even close.Celeste had retreated, yes — escorted out under pressure from both media and law enforcement but her eyes, as she was taken away, had held fire. And Juliette recognized the look. A predator caged, but not yet defeated."You're too quiet," Damon said, entering the room with two mugs of coffee. He handed one to her and sat beside her. His sleeves were rolled up, and the top button of his shirt undone. He looked exhausted, but grounded."I

The ballroom of the Rosewood Grand shimmered like a gilded battlefield. Massive crystal chandeliers bathed the grand room in golden light, casting glittering reflections on the marble floor. The air buzzed with whispered gossip and the quiet clinking of champagne flutes. But under the surface elegance pulsed an undercurrent of war. Tonight’s charity gala was not just a fundraiser, it was a confrontation decades in the making.Juliette stood poised at the top of the grand staircase, regal in a burgundy silk gown that cascaded like blood-red waves. Her chignon revealed the delicate curve of her neck, but her eyes were hard, scanning the crowd with purpose. Every inch of her appearance was carefully chosen not to impress, but to intimidate. She was no longer the forgotten wife. She was the storm that Celeste had never anticipated.Damon entered moments later through the main archway. The crowd shifted instinctively as if the room itself made way for him. Dressed in a tailored black tuxed
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 96: The Breaking Point
The news broke just after dawn.Damon stood in the penthouse office of Thorne Global, staring out at the horizon as the city awoke, his phone buzzing relentlessly on the desk behind him. Below, chaos was already in motion. Stock tickers on every screen scrolled red. Headlines screamed betrayal. Reports flowed in by the minute, each more damaging than the last.Thorne Global’s stock had dropped nearly 27% overnight, and trading had been temporarily halted. Banks were pulling lines of credit. Partner companies were backing out of deals. Rumors of insider manipulation and offshore fraud, seeded by Celeste’s campaign, had gained enough traction to create a firestorm.And worst of all? He couldn’t refute all of it. Some of the truths had been buried for years, ruthless decisions he had made in younger days, before he met Juliette, before Mason, when power had been all he cared about. Skeletons didn’t stay buried forever.Juliette entered quietly. She looked like she hadn't slept all night.
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 95: A Mother’s Resolve
Rain struck the glass panels of the Thorne estate like a thousand tiny fists steady and unrelenting. Inside Mason’s bedroom, Juliette stood motionless. The storm outside was chaos, but the real one churned inside her chest. Her fingers grazed the edge of Mason’s pillow, the faint scent of his shampoo still clinging to the fabric. His stuffed lion, Leo, lay askew on the floor.It had all happened too fast. One moment he was there, teasing her about burnt toast. The next— gone. Ripped from her by shadows with no face and no remorse.She blinked hard. This was no time for tears. Mason needed her strength. Unyielding.The door creaked open behind her.“Juliette,” Damon said softly. His voice was hollow now, strained. Not the commanding titan of Thorne Global but a father on the edge.She didn’t turn. “Hope is a dangerous drug, Damon”,“So is despair”,Finally, she faced him. Her eyes, usually warm, were rimmed with ice. “They contacted us. Ryder intercepted the message”,Damon’s shoulders
