The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 80: The Reckoning
The air inside Damon Thorne’s penthouse was electric with unease.The video still played on loop: Daniel Hawthorne, very much alive, standing beside Celeste in a dim corridor like a specter raised from the grave.Juliette stood frozen, her hand pressed over her mouth. Damon hadn’t moved since the clip began. The man who had built his empire on control, precision, and dominance now stood blindsided; his father’s former ally, long presumed dead, now aligned with his greatest enemy.A ghost.A traitor.A man Damon once trusted with his family's future.Juliette broke the silence. “We need to verify this isn’t AI-generated”.Damon’s voice was low and certain. “It’s him. That voice… I’d recognize it anywhere”.His hands clenched at his sides.“They told me it was a plane crash. No body. No wreckage. I thought it was a tragedy. But it was a setup. A lie”.Juliette’s voice dropped. “Do you think your father knew?”Damon turned away, staring out the window as if the skyline could answer. “He
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 79: Unlikely Alliances
The message hit Damon like a thunderclap. The image of Mason’s school, shrouded in darkness, taunted him like an open wound. The words that followed —“You forgot what matters most”, echoed in his mind long after the phone went dark.It wasn’t just a threat.It was a warning.A reminder that Celeste, even stripped of her corporate crown, was never truly out of the game.And now, with her ousted from the board and publicly disgraced, she had nothing left to lose.That made her more dangerous than ever.---------------------------------When they arrived at the school, Damon’s private security had already swept the grounds. Mason was safe, his driver had taken a longer route due to a fake traffic alert rerouted through a cloned GPS signal, but the boy had never left the vehicle.Still, Damon couldn’t shake the cold churn in his gut.Every move Celeste made was deliberate. Precise. And always two steps ahead.He just didn’t know what came next.Back in the penthouse, Juliette was pacing.

The boardroom was ice.Not from the air conditioning or the glass walls framing Manhattan’s skyline but from the tension thickening the room like storm clouds moments before a downpour. It wasn’t just a corporate gathering, it was a reckoning cloaked in Armani suits and calculated expressions.Damon Thorne stood at the head of the obsidian conference table, no longer a man under siege. He was here to take back what was his.At his side stood Juliette, calm and unyielding, her eyes locked forward. Her presence alone shifted the balance of power—an unspoken warning that the woman beside Damon was no longer anyone’s pawn.Around them, the shareholders sat quietly. The legal teams clutched their digital briefs. Internal security lined the walls.And across the table, like a queen disguised as a cobra, sat Celeste.Draped in sapphire silk, lips painted with the calm of a woman who believed she couldn’t lose, she smiled.“This emergency session,” she purred, “was called at the last minute b
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 77: A Ray of Hope
The first sunlight in days spilled into the penthouse, casting golden lines across a war room still littered with evidence of a life under siege. But it did little to thaw the cold that gripped Damon Thorne’s chest. He stood by the window, unmoving, staring down at a city awakening beneath him unaware of the war waged above its streets.Behind him, Juliette was a portrait of controlled urgency. Curled into a chair, she flipped through testimony and transfer logs, her brow furrowed; her eyes bloodshot but sharp. The fatigue in her bones warred with the drive that kept her working. There was no time to rest. Not when every new discovery brought them closer to the truth and to the people trying to bury it.A sharp buzz broke the silence.Damon’s phone lit up.42.8895° N, 74.3618° W. Come alone. Trust no one.He stared at the coordinates, his heart tightening. Not because of where it pointed but because of who it pointed to.Juliette looked up. “What is it?”Damon turned the screen toward
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 76: The Edge of Despair
The lights of Manhattan burned dim beyond the penthouse windows, a city moving forward while Damon Thorne stood frozen in its wake. From the inside, the once-pristine war room looked like a battlefield: shredded reports, unplugged screens, and untouched scotch staining the edges of crystal tumblers. It wasn’t just chaos. It was the aftermath.And Damon was unraveling in its center.He didn’t speak as Juliette stepped into the room. Her eyes immediately fell to him still at the window, shoulders heavy, shadows under his eyes that hadn’t been there days ago.“You’ve been standing here all night,” she said softly.“I built something,” he murmured. “Stone by stone, sacrifice after sacrifice. And in the end, it’s all kindling for someone else’s fire”.“You didn’t lose everything,” Juliette replied. “Not yet”.He turned to her slowly. “They took the board. The company. The headlines are painting me as a fraud, a criminal. And Mason…”Juliette crossed the room. “Mason is still yours. He’s st
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 75: The Unseen Enemy
Damon Thorne stood before the towering window of his penthouse office, arms folded, gaze pinned to the distant skyline. Manhattan moved below with its usual indifference—headlines blaring chaos, investors pulling out, whispers tightening into nooses but up here, time stood still.The city hadn’t changed.He had.Behind him, the walls of his empire were closing in, one betrayal at a time.Juliette entered quietly, a tablet in her hand. She didn’t have to speak right away. She knew the moment — knew when to wait for him to come up for air.“You didn’t sleep again,” she said softly.Damon didn’t turn. “Didn’t need to. Nightmares don’t scare me anymore”.She stepped beside him. “Then what does?”He finally looked at her. “The possibility that I’ve trusted the wrong people for too long and I won’t know until it’s too late”.Juliette handed him the tablet. “You’re close. That tip , the one about the mole—it was right. But we need one more piece to expose them completely.”Damon took the devi
