Semua Bab Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Three days after Victor's death, Maya and Damon left Cedar Falls. For once, neither of them looked back. The twins were safe with Celeste, who had insisted on keeping them for the week. “You both need this,” she had said. Maya had smiled. She knew Celeste was right. They needed time away from everyone. Away from Bennett Global. Away from the documents and investigations. Away from the past. Just them. Their destination was a secluded seaside villa several hours from the city. Damon had chosen it because it was private, quiet, and far enough from everything they knew. When they arrived, Maya stepped out of the car and stared at the ocean. The water stretched endlessly beneath the afternoon sun. She breathed deeply. “It’s beautiful.” Damon came up behind her. “So are you.” She turned and smiled. “You've become very smooth.” “I've had years of practice.” She laughed. The sound made something warm settle inside his chest. He had missed that lau

Victor stared at the document in Maya’s hands.For the first time since the confrontation began, the confidence disappeared from his face.“You were never supposed to find that,” he said.Maya held the paper tighter.“Neither were you supposed to find a way to destroy my marriage.”Victor looked at Damon.“You still believe her?”Damon did not hesitate.“I believe my wife.”Victor laughed bitterly.“Your wife. That is exactly what I used. I knew you would protect her. I knew she would eventually doubt you. All I had to do was give her enough truth to make the lies believable.”Maya stepped forward.“You used real documents. You twisted their meaning. You made me believe Damon married me for Bennett Global.”“And you believed it.”Her eyes filled with pain.“For a moment.”

The morning after they learned the truth about Damon’s biological father, Maya woke beside him with a strange sense of peace.For months, every morning had brought another question.Another secret.Another reason to doubt the life they had built.Now there was nothing left to uncover.Damon was awake, staring at the ceiling.Maya turned toward him.“What are you thinking?”He looked at her.“My father.”She waited.“I thought finding him would change something.”“Did it?”Damon shook his head.“No.”His eyes moved to her.“You changed everything.”Maya reached for his hand.“I’m sorry.”“For what?”“For letting Victor make me question you.”Damon squeezed her fingers.“You were hurt. He knew exactly where to

For the first time in months, Maya woke up without a crisis waiting for her.No calls from lawyers.No family meeting.No mysterious documents.No fear that another secret would appear before breakfast.She opened her eyes and found Damon beside her.He was already awake.He smiled when their eyes met.“Good morning.”Maya smiled back.“Good morning.”They were staying at a quiet seaside resort far from Cedar Falls. Damon had arranged the trip after everything with Victor ended.One week.No business.No family.No investigations.Just them.Maya turned toward him.“I forgot what it felt like to wake up beside you without worrying about what would happen next.”Damon reached for her hand.“I did too.”She studied his face.There was something different about him.The tension wa

The sun had vanished beyond the ocean when Maya stepped onto the balcony, leaving only a bruised ribbon of violet and copper at the horizon. Warm evening air slid over her bare shoulders, raising a faint scatter of goosebumps that pebbled her nipples beneath the thin silk of her camisole.Behind her, the bedroom was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that had lived between them for weeks, thick with everything they hadn't said.She felt him before she heard him-Damon's presence in the doorway, his gaze tracing her spine like a hand. She turned.For a moment, neither moved.Then Maya smiled. Not the polite one she'd been wearing like armor. The real one, the one that had always been his.Damon crossed the room in three slow strides. His hands settled around her waist, firm and familiar, drawing her close with a kind of reverent hunger. She slipped her arms around his neck and felt the fine tremor running through him, the barely leashed need he'd
