Damian sat in his home office, the blue light of his laptop screen casting shadows on his brooding face. Numbers and contracts flashed before him, but nothing held his attention—not fully. No matter how many calls he took, how many emails he responded to, his thoughts kept trailing back to her.

Aria.

Damn her.

She wasn’t supposed to get under his skin. She wasn’t supposed to occupy his mind or soften the fortress around his heart. Not after what happened with Elena. The memory of his siste

  • The billionaire's secret vow    Chapter 91: Threads in the Dark

    “Why don’t you know the date?”Celeste’s voice cut sharply through the room as she paced back and forth, her heels clicking against the tiled floor.Mira leaned against the counter, arms folded, watching her without much reaction. “Because I wasn’t told.”Celeste stopped abruptly. “And you didn’t think to ask?”Mira sighed. “It didn’t seem necessary.”“Not necessary?” Celeste let out a dry laugh. “Your job is simple, Mira. Get close to them. Make them trust you. Get information.”“I don’t need to get close to all of them,” Mira shot back, her tone tightening. “My priority is Aria. I’m here for my shares. That’s it.”Celeste’s eyes narrowed. “You’ve gone soft.”“It’s not about being soft,” Mira replied. “I just want what belongs to me. I’m not here to play family with them.”Celeste tilted her head slightly. “And you believe everything Aria told you? That your grandmother just handed over seventy percent of the company to her like that?”Mira hesitated for a second. “It’s what I was to

    “Why didn’t you wait for me?”Aria met his eyes through the mirror as Damian’s arms slipped around her waist from behind. His lips brushed her shoulder, then her neck, slow and lingering. He leaned in closer, inhaling deeply, his breath warm against her skin.Her hair was still damp, falling over her shoulders in soft waves.“You smell like lilies,” he murmured, his voice low, almost teasing. “I like it.”Aria let out a soft laugh, tilting her head slightly to give him better access. “I didn’t know you wouldn’t stay that long in your study.”“Hmm,” he hummed, pressing a light kiss just below her ear. “I just made a few calls.”She turned in his arms, smiling up at him. “I figured.”His lips found hers, a slow, familiar kiss that carried the ease of something steady and lived in. He lingered there for a moment before pulling back, his hand brushing lightly along her cheek.“I’ll take a quick shower,” he said.Aria nodded and turned back to the mirror, picking up the hairdryer again. Th

    “Talk to me,” Damian said as soon as they stepped out of the car and into the house.Aria barely had time to take in the quiet of the living room before his hand found her waist, pulling her gently toward him. His other hand came up to her face, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.“The press,” she said, exhaling. “I hate being on the news.”“I know,” he replied, his voice calm but firm. “I’ve already started handling it.”She nodded, but her expression remained tense.“There’s something else,” he added.Aria looked up at him. “What?”“Mira.”Her body stiffened almost instantly.Damian noticed.“I don’t understand her,” he continued. “Her story doesn’t add up. Every time we try to ask about her past, she dodges it. It’s like she’s hiding something.”Aria pulled away slightly, her brows drawing together. “She just got back, Damian.”“That doesn’t explain the secrecy.”“She’s not used to us,” Aria said, her tone sharpening. “She’s been on her own. She doesn’t know anybody her

  • The billionaire's secret vow    Chapter 88: Fractures beneath the surface

    Aria’s office door shut behind them, cutting off the lingering tension from outside. She didn’t say anything as she walked to her desk and sank into her chair, her movements slower than usual. Zara took the seat opposite her, watching quietly as Aria picked up her phone and failed Damian. “Hey, baby,” Damian’s voice came through, warm and relaxed. “What’s up?” Aria closed her eyes for a brief second before speaking. “Have you seen the news?” There was a slight pause on the other end. “What news?” “Someone leaked Adrian’s condition,” she said, her voice tight. “The reporters are here, Damian. At the company. They’re asking questions about the surgery… about the transplant…” “Stay where you are,” he said. “Don’t leave the building.” Aria swallowed. “Damian—” “I’ll handle it,” he cut in. “I’ll find out who leaked it, and I’ll deal with the reporters. But right now, you don’t step outside. Do you understand me?” She leaned back slightly in her chair. “I can’t just—” “Aria,” he

    “How are you?” her mother asked.Zara swallowed. Her throat felt tight, like something was lodged there. “I’m okay,” she managed, her voice strained despite her effort to steady it. “How are you? And… how are you even calling me? I thought the rehab center didn’t allow patients to use phones.”There was a pause.“I got released.”Zara froze where she stood.“What?”“I got released,” her mother repeated.“How?” Zara’s voice rose before she could stop it. “When? Why?”“Just now.”Zara blinked, trying to process it. “Why were you released?”The moment the question left her mouth, she regretted it. It sounded wrong. Cold. Suspicious.But she couldn’t help it.Her mother had been in that center for so long that Zara had stopped counting the years. Stopped expecting anything to change.On the other end, her mother let out a sharp breath. “Why would you ask that?”Zara pressed her lips together.“I thought you’d be happy for me,” her mother continued, her tone edged with offense.“I am,” Zar

    Zara stepped into the company building with a smile she couldn’t hide even if she tried.“Good morning, ma’am,” the receptionist greeted, looking up from her desk.“Good morning,” Zara replied, still smiling as she walked past.The receptionist leaned forward slightly. “You look… really radiant today.”Zara paused, her smile widening. “Do I?”“Yes,” the woman nodded. “Like something really good happened.”Zara let out a soft laugh. “Something really good did happen.”“Well, whatever it is, I’m happy for you.”“Thank you,” Zara said warmly, then turned and headed toward the elevator.She pressed the button and waited, rocking slightly on her heels, still smiling to herself.The elevator doors slid open.She stepped in, then noticed someone already standing inside.“Aria—”The word left her mouth before she fully looked up.The woman turned slightly.Zara’s smile faltered for just a second.It wasn’t Aria.It was Mira.Zara recovered quickly, her smile slipping back into place. “Hey, Mi

    Jaxon stayed seated beside Zara’s bed, his fingers loosely wrapped around hers. For a while, neither of them spoke. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable. It was the kind that settled after chaos, heavy but calm, like the aftermath of a storm.Zara was the first to break it.“What about Commander Reaves

    Zara slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she became aware of was the steady beeping of a machine somewhere close by. The sound was rhythmic, constant, and irritatingly loud. For a moment, she simply lay there, confused, her mind sluggish and heavy, struggling to understand where she was and

    Zara slowed the car to a crawl as she turned off the main road, following the location sent to her. The place looked abandoned—broken concrete, rusted sheets of metal, and what might have been an unfinished warehouse sat there. Nothing about the area looked active. Nothing looked like a hideout. N

    Damian went straight to where Aria was sitting the moment he walked into the living room. He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.Aria turned slightly toward the woman beside her.“Damian, this is Clara, my closest friend from uni. Clara, this is Damian… my husband.”Clara stood an
