Semua Bab From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress : Bab 31 - Bab 40

We stayed on the stairs for a long time.Hazel’s head rested lightly against my shoulder, the photograph of her mother still clutched in her hands. Neither of us spoke. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable. It was heavy, but it was honest. For once, I didn’t feel the need to fill it with plans or control. I just sat there with her in the dark, letting the weight of the day settle between us.Eventually, she straightened up.“I should try to sleep,” she said quietly.I nodded. “I’ll walk you up.”We stood together. As we reached the top of the stairs, the front door opened downstairs and a short figure came in.Zara.My younger sister walked in like she owned the place, which she technically did half the time. She was twenty-two years old with a sharp tongue, sharper mind, and the only person in the world who could show up in my mansion unannounced and not face immediate consequences.She dropped her bag by the door and looked up at us with a bright, mischievous grin.“Well, well,” she cal

~~Hazel’s POV~~I walked into the restaurant at exactly 4:25 PM. The place smelled faintly of garlic and roasted tomatoes, the kind of scent that clung to the air and made the space feel heavier than it was. The low hum of conversations filled the room, glasses clinking, forks scraping against plates.A waiter passed by with a tray of steaming pasta, and for a moment the scent made my stomach twist.Damon was already there, sitting at a corner table. His shoulders were tense, his posture stiff, like he had been waiting too long. When his eyes landed on me, something shifted in his face. Surprise first. Then something else—something that looked like hunger.I had worn the burgundy dress Kai had picked out for me during that shopping spree. My hair was down, my makeup sharp. I looked nothing like the woman who had signed divorce papers two months ago. I knew it. And so did he.I walked to the table and sat down across from him without greeting.“Hazel.” He smiled. The kind of smile I had

~~ Two Weeks Later ~~I knocked on his study door.My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might break through my chest. I had rehearsed this a hundred times in my head and every time it sounded insane, but I was desperate and desperation makes you do things you never thought you would do."Come in," Damon said.I opened the door and stepped inside. He was at his desk, working on something. He didn't look up immediately."I need to talk to you," I said quietly.He looked up then. His expression was neutral, waiting.I closed the door behind me and stood there with my hands shaking slightly at my sides."I want to be your submissive," I said.The room went completely still.Damon stared at me for a long moment, then he set down his pen slowly and leaned back in his chair."Are you okay?" he asked. Like he genuinely thought something was wrong with me. "Is everything alright? Did you hit your head or something?""No," I said. "I'm serious. I want to do this."He looked at me for anot

~~ Kai's POV ~~I heard her crying before I reached her room.The sound cut through the quiet of the house and I was moving before I fully processed what I was hearing. I took the stairs two at a time and pushed her door open.She was on the bed, curled on her side, her whole body shaking with it.I crossed the room in seconds."Hazel." I was already checking her. My hands moved over her arms, her shoulders, looking for injuries. Looking for blood. Looking for any sign of what had happened. "What happened? Did he hurt you? Tell me what he did."She didn’t respond.“I told you not to go see that man alone. What did he do to you? I’ll kill that bastard.”"I'm fine," she said through the tears. "There's nothing wrong with me.""But you're crying," I said. I was still checking her, my hands moving over her carefully. "Why are you crying?"She shook her head and didn't answer for a moment. Just sat there with tears streaming down her face like she couldn't stop them even if she wanted to.

~~ Kai's POV ~~I was laying in Hazel’s bed when I heard her arguing with someone in the bathroom, she had run away to the bathroom after I caught her smiling at me while I slept and she had been there for about 20 mins. It was too early to be arguing this much. "Is that him?" Sophia's voice came through the phone speaker. "Oh my god, is that Kai?"Hazel's face went completely red, she turned away from me and tried to change the sound setting from speaker phone."Sophia, no you cant…" she started."I want to talk to him," Sophia cut in, her excitement clear even through the phone.Hazel shook her head firmly. "He's not…he doesn’t want to speak…"But Sophia was already talking. "Kai? Hi. It's Sophia. Hazel's best friend. I just want you to know that you better take really good care of my girl or I will personally…" I took the phone from her."Don’t worry Sophia…she's in good hands," I said simply.There was a pause. Then Sophia let out a sound that was half laugh, half sigh."Oh my go
