***Daniel's POV***

I checked my watch for the tenth time, my knee bouncing involuntarily. It was now 11:00 PM, a full two hours since I returned from the company, yet Emma was still not home.

She hadn't come down for dinner like she normally does. At first, I thought she was resting or sulking but after going to her room and knocking several times, I realised something was wrong.

I called Mrs. Wilson, but she informed me that Emma hadn’t returned yet. Instantly, my mind

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Chapter thirty four

    Rachael huffed and stood up, clearly unwilling to elaborate. I immediately blocked the door before she could leave. “Tell me what you’re talking about. Right now.” “Oh, please, Daniel. You don’t have to pretend you care about her in front of me.” She stepped closer, her hand trailing deliberately up my chest. “You can drop the act.” I seized her wrist, my heart hammering. “She is my wife. I care about her — down to the last strand of her hair.” She let out a cold, mocking laugh that echoed through the study. “What’s so funny?” “So you’re telling me you care about her, yet you gave orders for her to be locked up and fed only once a day for an entire week?” “I didn’t—” “Daniel, there’s no need to act like you’re better than me,” she sneered. “I may have hired men to erase her from the picture, but you… you’ve done far worse. Emotionally. Physically.” She yanked her hand free and stormed out of the room. I stood frozen, her words ringing in my ears like a death knell. L

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    chapter thirty three

    “Rachael,” my assistant repeated. “Miss Rachael ordered the attack. We traced the bank accounts and the phone numbers — everything leads back to her. I’ve left the full file on your desk.”My head buzzed as I drove home, thoughts of Roland completely forgotten. Rachael? She was the one who wanted Emma dead. How could she even consider something so monstrous? My stomach twisted as I remembered Emma desperately trying to tell me the truth that day. I hadn’t even given her a chance. I had brushed her off without a second thought.The moment I reached home, I went straight to my study and pored over the documents again and again, searching for any possibility that someone was framing her. But the evidence was damning. Every trail pointed directly to Rachael.The memory of the fight between her and Emma replayed in my mind. Emma had accused Rachael of sending those men, and I had dismissed it instantly. Regret clawed at my chest. I should have listened. Who knew what kind of punishment my

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Chapter thirty two

    Rachael was pacing anxiously in the living room when I arrived. Her parents rose immediately at the sight of me.“Daniel, you...” Rachael’s words died in her throat the moment she saw the look on my face. The conversation with Emma was still rubbing off on me. “Daniel, why do you look so angry?” Rachael’s panicked voice filled the room. “Did my sister say something? I swear, whatever she told you is a lie. I didn’t do...”“Rachael!” her mother cut her off sharply.The atmosphere grew thick with tension. I immediately sensed that there was something important I'm missing.“You didn’t do what?” I asked, fixing my gaze on Rachael.She began stammering, her words incoherent and rushed.“Calm down and explain,” I said, my patience fraying with every second."“That doesn’t matter right now,” mom interrupted. “What matters is that you abandoned Rachael in the middle of the ring exchange. Now, Rachael’s reputation is at stake.”I took a deep breath and sat in the nearest arm chair. “I’ll hav

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Chapter thirty one

    ***Daniel’s POV***Emma startled at the sound of my movement and fell back onto her butt. I ignored her and walked into the closet, quickly getting dressed. When I emerged, she was sitting meekly on the edge of the bed, looking small and pitiful. Her hair spilled wildly over her shoulders, and she appeared utterly wrecked. There were clear signs of exhaustion on her body. I wondered if she had eaten properly during these past few days I have not been around.A sharp knock on the door shattered the tense silence. I crossed the room and opened it.“What is it?” I asked the guard.“The Adams family insists on speaking with you, sir.”“Didn’t I say I would meet them tomorrow?”“Yes, but they’re demanding to see you tonight.”I let out an irritated groan and dismissed the guard. “Tell them I’m coming.”I closed the door and glanced back at Emma. Her face was strangely blank as she stared at nothing in particular. I had expected anger, jealousy—something. But there was none of that. May

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    chapter 30

    ***Emma’s POV***I brushed the painful memories aside and slipped into the bathroom. After a long, much-needed shower, I realized there were no clothes waiting for me. With no other choice, I wrapped a towel tightly around my body and stepped out.I froze.Daniel was sitting on the edge of the bed, his jacket discarded, leaving him in a plain white shirt unbuttoned at the collar. He looked up, and his entire body stiffened at the sight of me.“There weren’t any clothes,” I explained nervously, clutching the towel closer to my chest.He rose slowly and advanced toward me. I backed away with every step he took until my back hit the bathroom door. He closed the distance, trapping me against it with his body. His stormy eyes locked onto mine.“What are you doing?” I whispered.His fingers tilted my chin upward. Before I could process it, his lips crashed down on mine. Shock held me still for a heartbeat—then his mouth moved with fierce intent. I pushed against his chest, but he didn’t bud

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Chains of the Contract

    ***Emma’s POV***To my utter shock, Daniel ignored Rachael completely, striding past her as if she were invisible. I glanced back and caught the raw fury blazing in her eyes as she stared daggers at me. She had no right to blame me. I had wanted nothing more than to disappear from their lives, but Daniel refused to let me go. We soon reached my old room. A guard quickly unlocked the door. The moment Daniel stepped inside, he froze. Curious, I lifted my head and looked around. The space looked nothing like the room I had lived in for nearly five years. My eyes landed on the framed pictures on the wall, and everything clicked. Rachael had completely taken over. In just a matter of days, every trace of my existence had been erased. Even the curtains had been replaced. “What happened here?” Daniel’s voice thundered through the room. “Sir, Miss Rachael moved in a few days ago,” one of the guards answered nervously. “What?” Anger sharpened his tone. “And no one thought to inform

    ***Emma's POV***Divorce? Did I hear that right? "Who's getting a divorce?" I asked, unable to make sense of anything. Daniel's face quickly contoured in displeasure. "Don't act dumb, Emma. I know you understand what I mean." "But I really don't understand." I insisted.We stood

    ***Emma's POV***I sat in front of the doctor’s desk, many thoughts swirling in my mind.“Doctor, what is wrong with me?”I had undergone some tests immediately upon entering the hospital, including a pregnancy test. Now I sat nervously, waiting for the doctor to predict my fate.“Ma
