The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 240: Dawn Over Ruins
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
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 238: The New Oath
Damon hadn’t let go of her all night. After the uproar in the Council chamber, after centuries of secrets collapsed around them like shattered glass, Damon had wrapped Juliette in his arms and shielded her from the world.From the whispers.From the judgment.From the ancient oath that had once dictated their entire existence. He had refused the ritual. Declared it over. Declared it dead. But Juliette - bruised, grieving, and unbowed had not fought him. She had merely looked at him, eyes exhausted but unflinching, and said, “If we don’t lay the past to rest, Damon… it will bury us alive. All of us”. And he had known, even in his pain, that she was right. Not for the sake of tradition. Not to please the Order or appease the ghostly remnants of the Council. But for Mason. For the future they dared to dream of, even in a world still crawling with danger. So Damon did the one thing no Thorne had ever done before — he negotiated. The ritual wouldn’t be completed in the old way. No bl
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 237: The Search
Flashback – Two Days Earlier The decision hadn’t been easy, but Damon had pleaded with his mother, Evelyn Thorne, to take Mason with her to the North Wing of the Thorne International Estate. Under tight security and away from the chaos that still lingered like smoke after a battlefield, Mason would be safe so Juliette and Damon would have the space they desperately needed to rebuild what had nearly been lost. Evelyn hadn’t hesitated. Her silence had spoken volumes of understanding, of pain, of love. She knew her son was fighting a storm far greater than anything she once created and the public could see it. Taking Mason wasn’t just an act of compassion. It was her quiet contribution to their healing. And so, wrapped in a warm shawl and watched by a round-the-clock security detail, Mason had left with Evelyn. Damon had stood at the window long after they’d driven off, his arms around Juliette as she trembled against him. But by morning… she was gone. -------------------------------
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 236: The Syndicate’s Demand
The silence in the private medical wing was suffocating. Juliette lay pale against crisp white sheets, her hand loosely entwined with Damon’s. Monitors beeped softly beside her, a sterile rhythm to mark the end of something they’d barely begun to hope for. Her four-month pregnancy had come to a painful, inevitable halt. The doctors had warned them - internal complications, severe enough to threaten her life. There had been no time for sentiment, only survival. Damon had signed the consent forms with trembling hands, but with resolve in his heart. He wouldn’t lose her. Not again. Not to this storm. The evacuation had been done under strict medical supervision, in absolute privacy. Only Damon, the head physician, and Juliette herself knew the truth. When she finally woke, she didn’t cry, just relax for a day. She simply looked at him with eyes that had known too much pain and said, “We move”. Damon had stared at her, shattered by what they’d just lost—what she had lost. But Juliett
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 235: Smoke and Shadows
The acrid scent of charred rubber and gasoline hung in the air like a curse that refused to lift. Sirens wailed in the distance—an eerie symphony that hadn’t echoed through the estate since the first inferno that shattered their world. Juliette sat on the edge of an ambulance, her shoulders swaddled in a coarse gray thermal blanket. Her fingers trembled around the edges, unable to stay still, while a paramedic took her vitals with gentle efficiency. Her ears still rang with the memory of the blast, her heartbeat a stutter beneath her ribs. Just a few feet away, Damon stood with his phone clamped to his ear, barking orders with the authority of a man who had rebuilt empires from ashes. But his eyes never strayed from her – not for a second. The blackened skeleton of the car still smoldered nearby, a grotesque monument to what could have been. If she hadn’t taken one more minute in the courthouse… if she'd stepped out a second later… She wouldn’t be here. “I want every surveillance
