CHAPTER 1 THE RETURN OF A BILLIONAIRE

Damien's P.O.V The private jet touched down smooth at JFK, the hum fading into the runway noise.Damien Lancaster sat in the cabin, fingers curled around a glass of whiskey — a quiet show of dominance. Still, he made sure the moment felt true. Real. Lived-in.Barely a sway in the golden liquid.Life felt completely under his thumb.Everything else? Maybe.But not what’s gone.His gaze locked on the skyline in the distance — New York City. The same city where he built an empire… and lost everything in one single night. The same city that held her betrayal.His lips twisted in a slow, humorless smirk — maybe recalling old times. Maybe not.He mashed those memories the same as always.But this time?This time, love didn’t bring him back.He returned a feared man now. A ruthless billionaire. The kind who turns dreams into nightmares — and he likes it that way.For weeks now, the media buzzed about his return.Most figured Damien Lancaster came back for business.And that’s all there was

CHAPTER 2:THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

Heart pounding, Selene gripped the counter, staring at the man before her.He wasn’t just back. He was standing there like a king reclaiming his throne.He wasn’t the same after all those years. Now? He looked sharper. Tougher. The warmth she once knew in his eyes? Gone. Replaced by something cold. Lethal.“Damien...” Her voice barely made it out.His gaze dug into hers as he stepped forward, slow and deliberate.“Selene. You vanished. Like smoke,” he said, glancing around the small, run-down diner. “Was this it? Is this why you left me?”Amusement shimmered in his eyes. “Nah. You ran because guilt weighed heavy, huh?”Hands in his pockets, his stance relaxed—but defiant. “Looks like karma did its thing. Tell me, Selene—how’s it feel losing everything?”He didn’t know the full story. He didn’t care. He believed what he wanted to.“So, Damien... what do you want?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.His smirk widened—empty of humor. “Came to offer a deal.”Her eyes narrowed. “D

CHAPTER 3:TRAPPED AND SIGNED

Selene stood gazing up at Lancaster Tower—its narrow steel body slicing into the evening sky, the penthouse crowning its top like a throne.She stepped inside the lobby, heart pounding, heels clicking sharply against the glossed marble floor.The receptionist barely glanced her way before pressing a button. Her sharp look screamed cold professionalism.The elevator opened as if it had been waiting just for her. Selene stepped in. The doors closed behind her—and her stomach churned.She was walking right into the lion’s mouth.When the penthouse elevator doors opened, she gasped.Glassy windows framed perhaps the best view of the New York skyline. The city lights glimmered like scattered stars.The space itself? Breathtaking. Glossy furniture. Black marble floors. Everything whispered wealth and untouchable power.Damien Lancaster stood by the windows, a whiskey glass in hand, like a man who ruled it all.Her footsteps made him turn. His dark eyes found hers, and for a moment, they hin

CHAPTER 4:THE WEDDING FROM HELL

The wedding.A woman’s dream come true.Grand. Flawless.And yet to Selene, it felt like a gilded cage.The Lancaster Estate—if you could even call it that anymore—had been transformed into a palace. Gold-trimmed chandeliers dangled white roses. A soft classical melody drifted through the air. The world’s elite filled the marble hall, eyes gleaming with curiosity, whispers brushing against diamond necklaces and crisp tuxedos.But in front of a full-length mirror stood Selene.Dressed in a gown worth more than everything she'd ever owned. A perfect picture of elegance.Still, all she felt was trapped.Her hands trembled as she adjusted her veil, staring at her reflection—a woman cloaked in lace, yet naked in vulnerability.Behind her, Natasha stood stiffly, fingers wrapped tightly around her arm."Selene," she whispered urgently, eyes darting to the door, "You really don’t have to do this."Selene swallowed hard.“We can run. I’ll help you.”She’d dreamed of escape a thousand times—fan

CHAPTER 5:THE WEDDING NIGHT MIND GAME

Selene scoffed, turned on her heel, and walked straight into the bedroom. Damien followed fast. The room felt too big, too cold—like even the walls wanted distance.Near the bed, Selene stood with her arms crossed, while Damien leaned in the doorway, a smirk carved into his face like it belonged there.“You seem nervous,” he murmured.Selene gave him a look you’d never forget.Damien stepped in slowly. The air between them was heavy—like something unseen pressed down. I just wanted the night to be over. When he finally reached her, his hand lifted, brushing her hair from her face.“Really?” he asked low, teasing.Selene didn’t budge an inch. She knew his games. She’d watched him toy with people, twist their emotions, shrink them down before delivering his kill shot. No way she'd let him have the satisfaction.“I’ve said those words myself,” she whispered.Damien hummed in amusement. His fingers trailed along her jaw—sending a shiver despite everything.“Well, here we are,” he said sof

Chapter 6THE PAST RESURFACES

CHAPTER 6: Days passed by,weeks, and months passed by and Selene had learned to survive in Damien’s world by keeping her head down and choosing her battles. But lately, something felt… off.It started with the hushed voices. She would walk into a room, and conversations would abruptly stop, suddenly. The staff in the penthouse would glance at her with unreadable expressions before scurrying away.Then there were the calls. Late at night, Damien’s deep voice would drift from his study, low and clipped. Whenever she approached, the door was always locked. Selene tried to shake it off. But Damien was a businessman. He had secrets. That had nothing to do with her.One evening, she was passing by his office when she heard her name.She froze.“…Selene Carter,” Damien’s voice was sharp. “Find everything you can.”Selene’s stomach twisted. “Find everything?” She whispered. She pressed closer to the door.There was A pause. Then Damien’s voice again.“I don’t care how deep you have to dig.

“YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME."

CHAPTER 7 The Lancaster penthouse was wrapped in silence, broken only by the distant rumble of thunder. Selene sat alone in the reading room, curled up on a velvet armchair with an open book resting in her lap. Her eyes stared at the pages, but her mind refused to absorb the words. Images flashed through her head—Damien’s sudden kiss, the warning from the mysterious stranger, and that haunting photo he had clutched like a lifeline.She sensed his presence before she heard him. Damien stood by the doorway, quiet and unmoving, watching her with unreadable eyes."You always watch me when I’m not looking," she said without turning. "It’s creepy."Damien stepped forward, hands tucked into the pockets of his tailored trousers. "Then stop giving me a reason to watch.""I don’t need to give you anything. Remember?" She turned a page she hadn’t read. "You already own me."He came closer, his voice calm. "That’s the thing about ownership, Selene. Sometimes it comes with responsibility."Selen

“THAT MEANT NOTHING."

CHAPTER 8: The next day,in the penthouse, Selene was in her room, taking a look at the article on her phone… She stumbled upon a post which got her attention. “Billionaire Damien Blackwood’s whirlwind wedding to nobody Selene Carter? Sources say the marriage is nothing but a contract…”Selene blinked at the screen of her phone, her thumb trembling as she scrolled through the gossip blog’s post. There it was, in bold letters—their marriage contract was leaked. Not in full, but enough to cause a storm. Phrases like “no emotional attachment,” and “public image only” were quoted, hinting at everything Damien had sworn would remain buried.She sat alone on the cream-colored chaise in the penthouse’s study, the light from the large windows casting a golden hue over the polished floors, but all she felt was cold.The media would eat this up.Before she could process it fully, the double doors to the study swung open. Damien entered, phone pressed to his ear, a storm etched across his shar

“I WON'T FALL FOR YOU AGAIN."

CHAPTER 9Selene couldn’t sleep that night. She lay wide awake in the unfamiliar guest bedroom of Damien’s Montreux estate, eyes fixed on the ceiling, heart still tangled in the memory of his kiss. She could still feel the warmth of his lips, the tremble in his fingers before he pulled away, and the way he had stared at her—like he couldn’t decide if he hated her or wanted her.“That meant nothing.”His words had been cold, but she wasn’t fooled. It meant something. To both of them. But it also scared him—and she knew it.The next morning, everything changed.Damien didn’t speak to her when they returned to New York. He didn’t even look her in the eyes. But the silence was worse than shouting. It was heavy, suffocating. Dangerous.He started tightening his grip. Selene wasn’t allowed to breathe unless he said so.“You’ll inform Bernard of your whereabouts at all times,” Damien said coldly one morning over breakfast, not even glancing at her.She stared at him. “You mean your personal

“YOU ARE BLEEDING."

CHAPTER 10The chandeliers in the ballroom dripped crystals like icicles, casting an opulent glow across the crowd of New York’s most powerful elites. Laughter, wine, and whispers mingled in the air. Everyone looked polished, dangerous, and ready for war beneath the sheen of wealth.Selene adjusted the neckline of her midnight blue dress, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach. She could feel the weight of every stare, every camera phone subtly turned her way. Her heels clicked softly against the polished floor as she trailed a step behind Damien.“You’ll stay beside me tonight,” he murmured under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear.“I’m not your shadow,” she said, forcing a calm smile for the people watching them.He didn’t respond, just offered a cool smirk as he nodded to a passing investor. His hand never once touched hers. Not even to maintain appearances.Of course, she thought bitterly. He needed her here—not for affection, but to parade his trophy wife aroun
