I shuffled into the house that night, my bones weary and crying for mercy. If any part of me was bruised the most, that would be my heart.

Watching the burnt warehouse had been a huge blow to my heart, and hiding from the reporters that had gathered and hoped for an interview had been stressful. It was bad enough that I had had to show up out there in crumpled outfits, I couldn't step up to comfort the staff that were trying their best to help the firefighters put out the fire.

They probably thought that I didn't show up and didn't care about them. They might think it was one of many warehouses to me and they were the ones affected the most. They might have just gotten jobless but I had lost money as well.

I stopped in my tracks as I walked inside and saw Nora cramped on the couch, her phone in her hand and held tightly against her chest.

I felt a wave of guilt wash over me at the sight of her sleeping form, stronger than anything I had felt all day. I had felt despair, anger, frust

  • The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife   The Icy Prince

    Damon's POV I let out a groan as I stared between the two women, wincing at the pain ricocheting in my heart, and accurately aware of their emotions.Sasha threw daggers at Nora with her eyes, looking as if she prayed for a gun to shoot her down at that moment. I wanted to laugh at her territorial attitude, resisting the urge to remind her that I didn't belong to her.Nora kept her eyes glued to me and occasionally shifted her gaze to Sasha. I sighed and averted my gaze, wondering what it was that she wanted me to say. I didn't want this to happen either and I hated that she made me feel guilty with the look in her eyes."Damon!" Sasha yelled my name."What?" I snapped at her."Didn't you hear me?" Sasha asked, her eyes flashing dangerously at me. "Who is she?""Didn't you hear her? Her name is Nora." I replied, my tone and the expression on my face reeking of pretentious boredom.Sasha hissed. "I didn't ask what her name was and you damn well knew that. What is she doing in our hous

  • The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife   The Doppelgangers

    Nora's POV I didn't feel good shopping as I had thought that I would. I eventually had to find an excuse to excuse myself from Gabriella. She had complained that I had been no fun unlike how I used to be but finally agreed to part ways with me after making me promise that we were going to hang out again.I didn't think that I wanted to hang out again with her but I promised anyway.I got back home and frowned at the sight of the cars in the parking space. It seemed Damon was home and also had a guest over. I couldn't guess who the guest was as I hadn't seen the car before.I remembered the rules he had given me and wondered if I was about to play the part of being a good hostess to his business associates and guests. I doubted I was in the mood to entertain Damon's guests after having my heart cut into pieces but had to remind myself that an agreement was an agreement.I heard voices inside as I got closer to the door and wondered what was going on. Were they fighting or preparing to

  • The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife   The White Lie

    Damon's POV "Sasha," I called out, disbelief echoing in my voice.I wondered if I was having hallucinations because of the sickness I suspected I was about to have. I blinked repeatedly, thinking she would magically disappear from my sight even though I knew she didn't magically appear.I had heard the door open and had seen her walk in.She smiled at me. "Yes, husband." She said, daring to move forward.She was real.A surge of anger travelled through my veins and I clenched my fists as I glared at her. "Don't call me that." I said through gritted teeth.She knew I hated it when she called me that.She didn't react as if she heard me and continued moving forward. "I know you hate it when I call you that but that doesn't change the fact that we are legally married.""I thought you forgot about that since you chose to run away." I fired back at her. Damn her for telling me of our marital commitment to each other when she didn't hesitate to run and leave me hanging in misery."I thoug

  • The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife   The Sudden Guest

    Damon's POV I groaned as Hart kept talking, wanting him to shut up. I hadn't felt that way before and wondered what was wrong with me. I had always loved talking about work but this time, I wanted him to be quiet.I rubbed at my temples, trying to hold back the pain and fight the groans from escaping my throat.Hart paused and stared at me. "Are you fine?""Yes," I lied.He shook his head at me. "I don't think so.""I'm fine. Keep talking." I waved my head at him. "We have to work on saving this company as much as we can.""I don't think you are fine." He shook his head and stood up. "I think you should go home, Damon. You seem stressed." I laughed at his words. "Go home? It's barely one in the afternoon. I've never gone home early before.""But you can start now. You need to rest, boss. You've been working too hard all this while.""Why won't I be stressed when the company is falling apart?" I sighed."Which is why you shouldn't fall apart as well." He emphasized. "You should go ho

  • The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife   The Pains She Can't Speak Of

    Nora's POV I stared at the door, long after Damon had walked out of the house. I couldn't believe he had said those words to me but I couldn't help not blaming myself either. I shouldn't have given Damon my heart. Without knowing that I had my heart placed right before him, he had smashed it to the ground and walked all over me. "Breakfast, madam?" Betsy walked into the living room and called my attention back to the present.I felt like she was mocking me and wanted to yell at her. Why did she have to come a few minutes after Damon left to ask if I wanted to eat, as if all I was permitted to do in the house was to eat and breathe?My subconscious mocked and reminded me that that was exactly what I was meant to do in the house, and it was only outside the house that I was meant to have some actions but I ignored it.I was about to snarl at Betsy for hovering around me when I saw the time and my mouth went slack. It had been over two hours that Damon left and I had been seated, doin

  • The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife   Are You Going to Talk or Not?

    Damon's POV I smiled as I picked my bag and walked quietly out of my bedroom, sneaking out of my house like a thief. Nora would be in her bedroom still asleep as it was barely five but I didn't want to take the chances of her waking up if she heard my footsteps."Damon,"I heard my name as I walked into the living room and stopped dead in my tracks. I turned to the direction the voice came from, my heart thudding restlessly. I knew she was there but I didn't want to confirm it and my eyes widened at the sight of her."Nora," I gasped, my mouth going dry as I wondered why she wasn't in her bedroom.I scowled, cursing Betsy a thousand times in my head. Why didn't she do as I asked? Was she that eager to sabotage me?"Damon," she called my name again, her eyes resting on me.I cleared my throat. "Did you sleep here?" I asked, pointing out the obvious.I wondered if she had woken up and left her bedroom early to catch me when I was leaving the house but I didn't think so. The heavy blank
