Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dominating CEO Snatch The Twins From His Ex-Wife: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

“Daimon…?” she began, confused.A deafening crack echoed through the house as Daimon’s hand struck her across the face.Katrina crashed to the floor.She lay still, dazed, her mind blank. Her cheek burned violently. Slowly, she raised a trembling hand to her face, feeling the sting, the humiliation.Tears flooded her eyes as she looked up at him in disbelief. “Daimon… how could you slap me?”But Daimon’s expression didn’t change. His eyes were like a black abyss, void of emotion.He knelt in front of her and grabbed her jaw, tilting her face up to meet his merciless gaze.“This is just a warning,” he said coldly. “If not for Oasis, you'd be dead already. No one lays a finger on my woman and walks away.”Katrina’s heart shattered.His woman?He meant Elyana.Pain twisted her chest as she stared at the man she had sacrificed everything for. Five years she had waited—given him everything, endured everything, hoping he would finally see her.And now… he was striking her for someone else.

Daimon leaned back in his seat, his fists clenched in his lap. “The pieces are all falling into place, Ertha. She didn’t just survive that night. She was reborn from it—with pain, with new scars, and with a need to run from everything she used to be. Including me.”Ertha's voice dropped to a quiet, thoughtful murmur as he stared out through the windshield. "Boss... I’m not just talking about how she looks. It’s deeper than that. Her entire aura, the way she speaks, how she carries herself—it’s all different. Elyana used to be gentle, soft around you. She couldn’t even bear to see you frown. Now… she seems indifferent, distant. It's like she’s built a wall so high you can’t even see the top."He paused, hesitant, then added, “Forgive me for saying this… but she doesn’t just ignore your kindness. Sometimes, it feels like she can’t stand being near you. Like she resents you.”Daimon’s jaw tightened, and his eyes lowered, shadowed by frustration and something deeper—regret."I’ve asked my

Just then, a soft voice broke through the heavy silence."Why are you here?"Daimon turned around slightly and saw two small figures at the edge of the bed—Joxan and Jessica. Their sleepy eyes, still foggy with dreams, sharpened instantly the moment they recognized him."Kids, your mommy—" Daimon started, but before he could finish, the twins had already rushed to Elyana’s side.They knelt beside her, their tiny hands gently wrapping around hers as if they had done it a hundred times before.“Mommy, we’re fine,” Joxan whispered, placing her hand against his cheek. “I’m Joxan, your son. Don’t be afraid. We’re alive, Mommy. Please don’t be scared.”“Mummy, I’m here. I’m your daughter,” Jessica added through trembling sobs. Her voice was small, but firm. She pressed her face into Elyana’s arm. “We’re here.”Then, without hesitation, the two of them wrapped their arms around Elyana’s trembling body. Although their arms were small, they clung to her with strength and instinct far beyond th

Soft morning light filtered through the windows as Elyana stirred, her lashes fluttering open slowly.Something felt… off.Her brows furrowed faintly. There was a scent lingering in the room, one she hadn't smelled in a long time. Familiar. Faintly masculine. It tugged at something in her memory.She turned her head and saw both her children nestled close, sleeping peacefully. Little Jessica’s tiny fingers were curled around hers, and Joxan’s hand was holding the other—tightly, protectively. As if even in sleep, they were afraid she’d slip away.A small smile bloomed on her face, touched with warmth and sorrow.Carefully, she slid her hands free and pulled the blanket up to cover them again, tucking it gently around their shoulders.Just then, her phone buzzed.The sound was soft, but in the stillness of the morning, it felt loud. She looked toward the bedside table and reached over to check it.H

Elyana fell silent for a moment, then muttered, “Yeah... you have a point.”She handed his phone back and turned to stare out the window. The city blurred past, but her thoughts were sharper than ever.Why is Daimon doing all this?Did he really send Katrina away—for her?Or was it just another way to protect Katrina?The questions gnawed at her, twisting in her chest like a thorny vine. She clenched her jaw as anger rose—hot and sharp.Her fists curled in her lap. She wasn’t sure what burned more—his silence, or the fact that part of her still wanted to believe he cared.Arden’s assistant stopped the car in front of the hotel where Austin was staying.“We’re here,” he said.Before Elyana could even open her door, Jessica and Joxan had already jumped out of the car.“Daddy!” both children shouted excitedly.Austin, who had been waiting near the entrance, immediately knelt down, opening his arms wide. A huge smile broke across his face as the kids ran straight into his arms.“Careful!”
