~~ Damon's POV ~~

The bathroom hallway felt like it was spinning.

I pressed my hand against the wall where Kai had slammed me, trying to steady myself, trying to catch my breath. My throat felt like it had been crushed. My back ached from the impact. My pride was shattered into a thousand pieces.

I had just been thrown against a wall like I was nothing.

Like I was weak.

Like I didn't matter.

The worst part wasn't the physical pain. The worst part was that it had happened in front of everyone. W

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    DON'T LEAVE ME

    I was still packing when Kai entered without knocking.I froze mid-fold, a silk blouse still in my hands. For a moment we both stood frozen, none of us knowing what to say or how to start a conversation. The air between us felt thick, heavy with three weeks of silence and longing."Hi," he said simply.And my heart stopped."Hi," I said back, my voice small. "I was just... I was packing. I didn't mean to interrupt anything. I'll just finish up and leave right after. I promise I won't take long."He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. The sound of the door closing felt final, like he was sealing us inside this moment whether I was ready for it or not."You don't have to feel scared around me," he said quietly. "Or nervous. You can just... be here."I set down the blouse carefully, trying to steady my hands. They were shaking. Everything was shaking."I know," I said. "It's just... I didn't want to cause another fight. I just wanted to pack the last of my things so I c

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    FINDING HER

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~On Sunday morning, I walked into the mansion and immediately felt the weight of every memory this place held.Lucia appeared in the hallway before I could even take a full breath."Miss Hazel!" she exclaimed, her face lighting up with genuine joy. "Oh my god, look at you! I heard the news. I heard you're now a very powerful person. The CEO of a global company! I'm so proud of you, Miss Hazel. I always knew you were special. I always knew you were meant for something great."I couldn't help but smile at her warmth."Thank you, Lucia," I said, pulling her into a quick hug. "It's so good to see you. How have you been? How is everything here?""Everything is good," she said, though I noticed something flicker across her face. "We've missed you. I've missed you.""I've missed you too," I said, and I meant it. “Is Kai home?“Uh…no maam. He left earlier today for some emergency business meeting.” Lucia replied.“Business meeting? On a Sunday?” I thought. “What meeting could

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION

    ~~ Melissa's POV ~~I couldn't stop smiling as we walked out of the E&H offices.She had actually met with us. After everything — after the restaurant opening, after the reveal, after we had tried to approach her so many times, Hazel had actually sat down in a conference room with us and listened to our proposal."I can't believe that actually worked," Damon said as we walked toward the car. "I actually thought she was going to throw us out.""She almost did," I said, laughing. "Did you see her face when she asked about our revenue decline? I thought she was going to end the meeting right then.""But she didn't," Damon said, opening the car door for me. "She's actually considering it. She's actually going to invest in us.""How stupid can she be?" I said, getting into the back seat. "She's the CEO of a global company and she's going to invest fifty million euros into a company that's clearly failing."Damon slid in beside me and closed the door. The driver started the car and pulled o

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    THE PROPOSAL

    I walked into the conference room with Lisa beside me, carrying the E&H Investments folder.Damon, Melissa, and three other board members of the Moretti Group were already seated at the table. When they saw me, their faces lit up with hope.They thought they had a chance."Miss Saint Claire," Damon said, standing up to greet me. "Thank you so much for meeting with us. This means everything to our family."I smiled politely and shook his hand, careful to keep my expression neutral. "Of course," I said. "I'm always interested in hearing about potential opportunities."I sat down at the head of the table, and Lisa positioned herself to my right with the folder."Before we begin," I said, "I want to make clear that E&H Investments is very selective about who we partner with. We have standards, and we don't compromise on those standards.""Of course," Melissa said quickly. "We completely understand. And we think once you hear what we have to offer, you'll see that the Moretti Group meets e

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    MOVING FORWARD

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~I stared at the spreadsheet on my screen without really seeing it.It had been three weeks since Kai had told me to leave his penthouse, three weeks since he had said we were done. Three weeks of calling, texting, trying to reach him, and getting nothing but silence in return.So I had finally accepted it.He didn't want to talk to me anymore. He didn't want to see me. He had moved on, or he was still so angry that he couldn't bear to be in the same room as me. Either way, the message was clear.I needed to move on too.I couldn't spend the rest of my life waiting for him to forgive me. I couldn't spend the rest of my life hoping that he would change his mind. I had a company to run. I had a life to build. And Kai Lucian Valentino was not going to be part of it.The thought made my chest ache, but I pushed past it.There was a knock on my office door."Come in," I said.Lisa, my assistant, stepped inside with a tablet in her hand."Miss Saint Claire," she said. "I ha

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER

    ~~ Reed's POV ~~Three weeks.It had been three weeks since Kai had walked away from Hazel at the restaurant, and in those three weeks, he had become insufferable.I watched him from across the desk in his office as I updated him on the day's business–Club operations were running smoothly, debt collections were on schedule. The Valentino Syndicate's investments were performing well.But Kai wasn't listening.He was staring out the window, his expression distant, his mind clearly somewhere else. "Boss," I said, trying to get his attention. "The numbers in the warehouse district are up by fifteen percent."He didn't respond."Kai," I said more firmly.He turned to face me, and I could see the exhaustion in his eyes. He hadn't been sleeping."Has Hazel called?" he asked abruptly.I set down my papers."No," I murmured. "Not recently.""How recently?" he pressed."I think… since five days ago," I said. "She hasn't called or texted since last week."I watched his jaw clench, he looked comp

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    WHAT SHE HEARD

    I stood in the doorway of Kai’s study, my heart still racing from everything I had just overheard. My legs felt a little shaky as I took one small step inside the room. The air felt heavier in here, like the conversation between Kai and his father had left something behind that still hung in the sp

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    OVERHEARD

    I had been hiding in the study since early morning.Not literally hiding. Working. Or at least that was what I kept telling myself as I sat at the large oak desk surrounded by papers, sketches, and my laptop. Going through supplier lists, lease proposals and menu concepts. I had been on the phone f

    The next morning came too quickly.I was in my study reviewing overnight reports when Reed knocked once and entered without waiting for an answer. His face was carefully neutral, which usually meant bad news.“Your father is here,” he said. “He’s waiting in the main reception room. He didn’t ask or

    Reed noticed. He shot me a glare and leaned over slightly to speak.“Boss, it’s been a long day and you look like you need a distraction. Go upstairs and clear your head.”I glanced at him and he raised an eyebrow, this sarcastic bastard. “And she’s hot too.” He added.Chloe leaned closer, her lips
