My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 84: Built On Lies
MiaWhen my eyes slowly opened, the first thing I saw was a blinding expanse of morning light.I was lying on a cloud-like bed dressed in crisp white sheets. I blinked rapidly, my head pounding with a severe, throbbing ache right behind my temples. My mouth felt dry, like sandpaper.I pushed myself up onto my elbows, looking around the room, and my heart instantly leaped straight into my throat.This wasn't my bedroom. The room was vast, minimalist, and modern. Huge, stunning floor-to-ceiling windows lined the entire outer wall, offering a breathtaking, dizzying view of the city skyline stretching out below. Polished concrete, sleek dark wood, and minimalist furniture gave the space a high-tech solitude.Panic surged through my veins like ice water. I scrambled backward on the bed, pulling the duvet tightly up to my chest.*Where am I? What happened last night?*Before the panic could consume me, the heavy frosted glass door of the master bedroom slid open.Damon walked in.He had d
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 83: Board's Utimatum
MiaFollowing the board's ultimatum, the company hosted a high-profile corporate gala.The entire event was designed to project absolute unity and protect the company's fragile reputation. But the board had made one strict, non-negotiable demand: I couldn't go with Damon.Instead, they insisted I attend as Adrian’s partner.I agreed. I didn't have a choice. The stakes were too high, and the project's entire future was hanging by a thread. I couldn't let my personal feelings ruin everything we had worked so hard to build.When we arrived at the grand ballroom, the atmosphere was suffocatingly grand. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, and soft jazz music floated through the air, masking the dangerous corporate politics playing out beneath the surface.Surprisingly, the tension between Adrian and me was actually okay.We weren't fighting, and he wasn't making bitter comments about Damon. We kept things strictly professional, moving smoothly through the crowd, shaking hands,
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 82: Subdued
MiaAfter work, I drove over to Jim's school to pick him up.The moment he spotted my car, he sprinted across the sidewalk, his heavy backpack bouncing against his shoulders. He threw the back door open and climbed inside, his face flushed with excitement."Mom! Guess what?" Jim shouted, grinning from ear to ear as he buckled his seatbelt.I laughed, looking at him in the rearview mirror as I pulled out of the parking lot. "What happened, sweetie?""Damon called me earlier!" Jim excitedly told me, bouncing in his seat. "He said if his work allows it, he's going to come to my big class presentation next week! He said he wouldn't miss it for the world!"A sudden, sharp knot formed in my stomach, but seeing the bright, unfiltered joy in my son's eyes made me smile despite myself."That's wonderful, Jim," I murmured softly, swallowing the heavy lump in my throat.Even though my heart was still confused and guarded, hearing how happy Damon made my son brought a warm, bittersweet ache to my
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 81: Nasty Whispers
MiaDespite the board's warning, I refused to let the scandal define me.I couldn’t let their threats ruin everything I had built. The very next morning, I walked into the office, held my chin high, and immersed myself in my work. I was determined to remind everyone in this building exactly why I was chosen for this project in the first place. I spent hours reviewing the blueprints, tightening the launch schedule, and moving from meeting to meeting with absolute focus.My professionalism didn't go unnoticed. By mid-afternoon, several senior staff members were openly praising my dedication, pulling me aside to thank me for keeping the team steady during the chaos.Slowly, the atmosphere began to change. The nasty whispers in the hallways started fading into the background, replaced by actual talk about the project's success.For the first time in days, a sense of relief washed over me. I finally felt like I was taking back control of my life.But the peace didn't last long.During lunc
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 80: Grim
Damon I arrived at the company with my jaw clenched, expecting another exhausting discussion about the recent media scandals. I was ready to fight the board, ready to defend my position.But the moment I walked into the project manager's office, my heart stopped.Mia was already sitting there.A sharp, painful ache hit my chest just looking at her. After the disaster at Jim’s soccer match, the atmosphere between us was excruciatingly polite but distant. She gave me a small, tight nod as I sat down in the chair next to her, but she didn’t look me in the eyes. The space between our chairs felt like a freezing, endless ocean.The project manager didn't waste any time. He leaned forward, his face grim."Damon, Mia, thank you for coming," he started, shuffling a few papers. "I'll get straight to the point. Although the project exceeded all of our expectations, we have a massive problem. Several of our primary investors are threatening to withdraw their support."I froze. "What?""They are
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 79: Urgent Meeting
Mia I spent the entire evening replaying everything that happened at Jim's soccer match.The image of that text message on Athena’s phone kept flashing behind my eyelids, burning into my mind. I wanted to believe Damon. I truly did. But Athena’s confidence, the effortless way she had smiled on that field, kept clouding my judgment. It felt like a heavy fog I couldn't escape.To keep from losing my mind, I threw myself into looking after Jim. I cooked his favorite dinner, helped him unpack his muddy gear, and forced a bright, cheerful energy I didn't actually have. I was determined not to let him notice how badly I was hurting inside.But kids see everything.As I was tucking him into bed, Jim looked up at me from beneath his blanket, his big eyes quiet and perceptive."Mom?" he asked softly, tugging at the edge of his sheet. "Are you and Damon mad at each other?"My throat locked up. "No, sweetie. We're just tired from work. Why do you ask?"Jim shrugged his small shoulders, looking
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 5: Taking Everything From Me
MiaI felt the gazes of my co-workers trailing me as I moved towards my office. Some looked away once I met them. Others remained, offering small smiles. They both held the same thing.Sympathy. Pity.By now I was sure the entire company was aware. There was nothing I could do about it but ignore i
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 4: How. Could. You
MiaDamon’s voice cut cleanly through mine. I turned to him.On his usually impassive face was something I couldn't read, but perhaps it was my imagination. Soon after he looked at me harshly.“Don’t be unreasonable Mia.” he said, “Athena is staying. Why would she need to leave when her family is h
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 3: Dunked
MiaIt felt like I'd been dunked in an icy bath, chilling my bones into reality. She leaned closer to Damon holding his arm and looking up at him with a smile. But all I could focus on was the jewellery adorned on her neck. The necklace I thought he'd bought for me.Laughter arose, forcing me to r
My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 2: Apologies and Pain
MiaA lump formed in my throat as the words I wanted to say, the revelation that hung at the tip of my tongue was swallowed back. I kept my expression neutral as I nodded.“I’m sorry Mr Nova. It won’t happen again.” Silence stretched through minutes when I heard his footsteps. Before I knew it, ar
