I took Hazel upstairs to her room and left her in the care of one of the house staff to help her clean up and rest.

Then I went to the basement.

The three injured Sullivan men we had captured were secured in separate rooms. Professional interrogation spaces that had been used for this purpose many times before.

Reed was waiting for me with detailed files on each man.

"The first one," Reed said, gesturing toward the door on the left, "is Marcus Chen. Low-level operative. Probably was just follow

    For a second, nobody moved. The only sound in the dimly lit room was the low, muffled bass vibrating through the walls from the club below.Then, the shock broke."What the hell is going on here, Kai?" Hazel’s voice was barely a whisper, but it cut through the red-lit silence like a blade.I snapped out of my trance. The cold fury and mindless need for control that had brought me into this room vanished, replaced by a sudden, choking panic."Hazel…"Before the girl kneeling at my feet could even react, I shoved her away. She lost her balance and fell to the plush carpet with a startled gasp, but I didn't care. I stood up so fast my chair nearly tipped over, throwing the leather crop in my hand to the floor. It landed with a dull thud near the rack of cuffs and whips.I took a step toward Hazel, my hands raised. "Hazel, wait. Let me explain.""Don't touch me!" she shrieked, flinching back. Her glassy, drunken eyes scanned me, her pupils dilated with a mix of intoxication and absolute h

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    MY INNER SANCTUARY

    Kai's POVThe silence of my private office was deafening. My laptop lay closed on the desk, the phantom echo of that investor’s smug, patronizing voice still ringing in my ears.“You’re young, Valentino. Sometimes you have to know when to let the bigger players dictate the terms.”I had walked out. I didn't negotiate with men who thought they could threaten my position. But the anger was still there—a dark, heavy pressure behind my eyes that wouldn’t fade. I had an empire to run, a legacy to protect, and a constant, suffocating war in my head."We're going to Onyx," I had muttered to Reed as we walked to the private elevator. "I need a drink. And I need to get out of this freaking office. What the hell is wrong with Mr. Vance?""Kai, are you sure that’s where you’re supposed to be going?" he asked, his eyes searching mine like he couldn’t believe what I'd just said."Excuse me? Can’t I visit my own club when I want to clear my head?" I questioned, stepping into the elevator.It had be

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    ONYX CLUB

    ~~Damon's POV~~I watched Hazel's car drive out of the garage and disappear into the bright daylight. My heart was pounding fast in my chest, but it wasn't from fear.It was from pure excitement.She had stood there, looking so powerful and beautiful, telling me she would ruin my family if I failed. The old Hazel would have cried. She would have begged me to love her. But this new Hazel had so much fire in her. She was strong, she was dangerous, and it made me want her more than I ever had before."Damon, we need to talk about those clauses!" Melissa yelled, grabbing my arm and snapping me out of my thoughts. "She is trying to trap us! Six months is way too fast to build those apartments. And putting our family assets up as collateral? If we make one mistake, she can take everything!""We aren't going to make a mistake," I said coldly, pulling my arm away from her. I couldn't stand the sound of her voice right now. She was so loud, so paranoid, and so completely different from the ele

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    ALWAYS BEEN HER

    The cold, ruthless mask I had worn in the boardroom stayed firmly in place until the elevator doors closed, cutting off the suffocating presence of the Moretti Group.But as the elevator descended toward the private executive garage, my fingers curled tightly around my tablet. The adrenaline of setting the trap was fading, leaving behind a simmering, hot anger. Damon’s audacity was growing by the hour. First the roses on my desk, and then the sickeningly familiar way he had tried to look at me in front of his entire board. He actually believed his own delusion.The elevator doors chimed and slid open to the quiet, dimly lit concrete of the VIP parking level. My private driver was already waiting beside my sleek, black mercedes, the engine idling quietly.I took two steps out of the lobby—and froze.Leaning casually against the hood of a silver sports car parked just a few spaces away was Damon. He had his hands shoved in his pockets, his suit jacket open, looking exactly like the arro

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~The silence in the boardroom was absolute, heavy with a tension so thick it felt physical.I sat at the head of the polished glass table, my posture straight and my hands folded neatly over my tablet. I looked at the people sitting opposite me—the people who had once held my entire world in their hands and crushed it without a second thought."Alright Ms Saint Claire," Damon began, his voice smooth, lingering on my new name with a familiarity that made my skin crawl. "I’m glad you could make it. We’ve already laid out the terms of our original fifty-fifty proposal. E&H injects fifty million dollars, and in return, you get half the profits of our new luxury apartment complex. It’s a win-win."I let the silence stretch for a long, agonizing moment, letting them sweat. I didn't look at the proposal on my screen. I just looked directly at Damon."Fifty million is a joke," I said flatly.Melissa’s smile faltered instantly. Damon blinked, his confident expression freezing.

    After the raw vulnerability of last night—of confessing my lie and melting into Kai’s absolute, protective embrace—I had expected to feel lighter. Instead, the phantom weight of that late-night text from the unknown number sat like lead in my chest.How was your day, Hazel? I believe you were thinking about me all day...don't worry I can't wait to see you tomorrow as well. I hadn't shown Kai the text. Not because I wanted to keep secrets again, I had promised him I wouldn't but because he had looked so incredibly tired, and the peaceful look on his face when he slept was something I couldn’t bear to ruin. I had resolved to handle it today, l was going to deal with Damon myself today. I arrived at my office at a normal hour, my heels clicking a sharp rhythm against the polished marble floors of the E&H Investment Company executive suite. E&H was a global giant now, and today was the day I had been waiting for. The day I finally held the absolute power of life and death over the peop

    Damon left early in the morning.He didn't tell me where he was going or when he would be back. He just kissed Melissa goodbye at the kitchen table while I was making breakfast, and then he was gone. Gone to handle the Moretti family business. Gone to do whatever it was that men like him did when th

    I couldn't sleep.I lay in the guest bedroom for hours, staring at the ceiling, listening to the sounds of the house. At some point around 2am, I gave up pretending and went downstairs to the living room. I curled up on one of the couches with a blanket, my mind racing with everything I had heard at

    I didn't sleep that night. I lay in the guest bedroom, which had become my usual bedroom even though I was supposed to be married, and I listened to the sounds of the mansion settling around me. I listened to Damon's footsteps as he moved through the house. I listened to him talking on the phone to
