BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 44: A Billionaire’s Last Stand
"You are not coming with me, Naomi."Damian’s voice was sharp, final. He stood in front of the fireplace, hands clenched into fists, his face hardened with a resolve that sent a chill through me."You can't stop me," I shot back."You think this is a game?" He turned, his eyes dark with fury. "Evan isn’t playing anymore. He’s out for blood. Mine. Yours. Olivia’s. If you step into this, I won’t be able to protect you."I swallowed hard. "I don’t need your protection, Damian. Olivia is out there, tied up somewhere, terrified. We can’t just wait. I have to do something.""You’re my weakness," he said through gritted teeth. "Evan knows that. He’s using Olivia to lure me in. And if he sees you—""He won’t," I interrupted. "Because you won’t let me come with you, right?"His jaw tightened."Exactly," I continued. "Which means I have to do this on my own."He grabbed my wrist, his grip firm but not painful. "Naomi, don’t. Please."I had never heard Damian plead before. But it wasn’t going to

"You're making a mistake, Naomi," Evan's voice cuts through the tension like a sharp blade. His smirk twists my stomach into knots. "You don't have to play the innocent little wife. You don’t have to stay with him."I take a step back, my heart racing in my chest. I’ve never felt more cornered in my life, but I refuse to show him my fear. His eyes glint with an unsettling mixture of passion and malice. For all the lies, manipulations, and calculated moves he's made, one thing has always been clear: Evan Reid is obsessed with me."You don’t love me," I manage to whisper, though my voice feels so small in this cavernous room. The walls seem to close in, suffocating me with his presence. "You just want to win. You want to hurt Damian, and I’m just a pawn in your game."He chuckles, low and dangerous. "You think you know me, Naomi?" He steps closer, his presence oppressive, but I stand my ground. "You don't. I never wanted Damian. He’s just a means to an end. You, Naomi," he pauses, leani

“Do it, Damian,” Evan's voice echoed in the tense silence of the room. His hand gripped me tightly, dragging me closer, using me as his shield. The cold barrel of his gun pressed against my temple, and I could hear his breath quickening, the final moments of his twisted game closing in on all of us.Damian stood across the room, his body rigid, eyes narrowed in lethal focus. I saw the conflict behind his gaze—his hesitation, the battle between saving me and protecting himself."Don’t make me choose," Damian growled, his hand twitching near the holster of his gun, but he didn’t pull it."Choose?" Evan laughed bitterly, the sound a harsh contrast to the calmness in his eyes. "I’m giving you a choice. You shoot me, and Naomi dies. You shoot her, and I walk free."My heart pounded as my pulse raced with a terrifying realization. Evan was playing a game far worse than I had imagined. He wanted Damian to feel the weight of his choice—the unbearable decision of who lived and who died.“Pleas

"Is it over?" I whisper, my voice barely audible as I stand beside Damian, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on us. The media circus surrounding us has calmed for the moment, but I know it's far from over. The headlines that once focused on scandalous whispers now cling to a deeper story—one of betrayal, revenge, and a marriage formed in the shadows.Damian’s jaw is clenched, his piercing blue eyes scanning the room, the tension still hanging between us like a storm waiting to break. “It’s far from over, Naomi,” he says, his tone hard, but there's something different in his voice—something vulnerable. He glances at me, his gaze softening for a moment. “But we’ll face it together.”His words are comforting, but there's still that part of me that wonders if the man I married—the man I thought was my enemy—is someone I truly know. I’ve learned to love him, despite everything, but trust? That’s something else entirely.A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts, and the sharp

“Damian, you need to see this.” The tone of the private investigator’s voice was flat, but there was an edge of urgency to it, the kind that demanded attention. I stood frozen at the doorway of Damian's study, watching as he unfolded a thick envelope, his fingers trembling. My heart skipped a beat as his eyes scanned the contents.“What is it?” I asked, stepping closer.Damian’s jaw clenched, and for a brief moment, the man I married—the cold, ruthless billionaire—looked like a man who had just been punched in the gut. He was staring at a photograph. A photograph that made my stomach churn as I caught sight of it over his shoulder.It was Charlotte.No, not just Charlotte. It was Charlotte, smiling in the sunlight, in a place that didn’t look like the cold, desolate landscape of the accident site. The place where we had all been told she died. Where I had been left to take her place.“She’s alive,” Damian muttered, his voice barely audible.I blinked, the words not quite registering.

"You think you can just take everything from me?" Charlotte's voice was laced with contempt as she stepped into the grandiose living room of Damian's mansion, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Her presence filled the room like a storm cloud, dark and threatening.Damian stood stiffly by the fireplace, his eyes hard and unreadable as they locked with Charlotte's. For a moment, Naomi felt a pang of something—fear, maybe—but it was drowned quickly by the overwhelming surge of anger that had been building in her chest. She crossed the room to stand beside Damian, her hand instinctively reaching for his."I'm not backing down," Naomi said, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. She could feel the weight of Charlotte’s stare on her, but she refused to be intimidated. Not anymore.Charlotte’s lips curled into a cruel smile, her eyes flicking to Naomi’s hand in Damian's. “Oh, but you will. You think you’ve won, don’t you? You think you’ve taken my place, stol

“Do you love her?”The question echoes in my head as I watch Damian, his face tense with the weight of the situation. The courtroom is packed, the atmosphere heavy with tension. Charlotte, standing to one side, glares at me with contempt, her perfectly manicured fingers clutching the papers that could shatter everything.I glance at Damian, waiting for him to speak. But what can he say? The truth is simple and devastating.“Yes,” he finally says, his voice a low growl, barely audible over the murmurs of the courtroom.My heart stops for a moment, and for the first time since this nightmare began, I wonder if I’ve made a terrible mistake. If there’s still a chance to fix things. But then, I remember the choices we’ve made—how we’ve gotten here, how my own family, Evan, Charlotte… all of it has pushed us into this mess.I refuse to let myself look back.Damian’s eyes meet mine. “Naomi, please… you don’t have to do this. Don’t let them win.”But I’m already standing, walking away from th

"Are you sure this is what you want?" Damian's voice trembled slightly, the rawness of his emotions surfacing like a storm finally breaking through a calm sky.I stared into his eyes, the depth of uncertainty mirrored in their dark depths. He’d risked everything for me, signed away his empire without a second thought, and yet here we were—broken, but undeniably stronger. For once, it felt like we were on equal ground. My heart, which had been battered by years of doubt and disappointment, finally found peace."I never wanted anything more," I whispered back, my fingers gently tracing the lines of his jaw. "But we’ve been through so much. There’s no going back now."Damian reached for my hand, his fingers curling around mine with a firmness that promised protection and comfort in equal measure. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt secure—more secure than I had ever felt in the chaos of my life.We had just escaped the courtroom, the weight of the legal battle still hang

BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 100: The Final Battle
"Damian, we can’t let them win!" I gasped, my heart racing in my chest as I clutched his arm, feeling the heat of the battle that surrounded us. The walls of the underground compound trembled from the force of explosions echoing from above, a sure sign that Julian's men were pushing harder than ever to bring us to our knees.Damian’s jaw was set, his eyes hard as stone. His grip tightened on my hand, a silent promise that we would fight until our last breath. "I’m not letting you go. Not now, not ever. We’ll fight, Naomi. Together."I swallowed the lump in my throat. His determination was fierce, but so was the looming threat. We had come so far, only for Julian to come knocking on our door once more, intent on destroying everything. But this time, it was different. This time, we weren’t backing down.The compound was a fortress, and Julian’s men were relentless, trying to tear through every layer of protection Damian had put in place. We had our people, but even they were struggling
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 99: A New Beginning
The pain is unbearable. But as I clutch Damian's hand, the world feels like it's shrinking to just the two of us. He’s there, by my side, just like he promised. His face is etched with concern, but his eyes... those eyes are full of resolve.“I won’t let anything happen to you, Naomi,” he murmurs, his voice steady despite the chaos around us. “This is the start of everything—our new life.”I close my eyes for a moment, trying to focus on his words rather than the pain coursing through me. My mind races. The baby. We were supposed to be safe here, in the hospital. It should have been a moment of joy, not this.But then I hear it—footsteps pounding down the hallway. The unmistakable sound of shouting. I blink in confusion, unable to comprehend what’s happening.“What’s going on?” I gasp, trying to sit up.Damian’s grip tightens on my hand, and I can see the tension in his jaw. “Stay down, Naomi. Stay calm. I’ll protect you.”Before I can respond, the door to my hospital room bursts open
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 98: Love Against All Odds
"Damian!" I gasped, clutching my stomach. My heart pounded as the pain surged through me, sharper than anything I had ever felt before. My hands trembled as I gripped the side of the car, my breath coming in rapid bursts."Stay with me, Naomi. You’re going to be okay." Damian's voice was calm, despite the panic in his eyes. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, speeding toward the hospital.I winced again, the pain intensifying, and I heard Damian’s breath catch. "We’re almost there. Just breathe, love. Just breathe." His words were a whisper, but they were like a lifeline to me. The world outside the car blurred into nothingness as the world inside felt too much to bear.I had never thought this would be how I would bring our child into the world—rushed to a hospital in the middle of the night, my body betraying me with the sharp pains of labor far too soon. I had so many questions, so many fears, but none of them mattered at this moment. The only thing that mattered was Damian, and
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 97: A Love Rekindled
"Naomi, wait. Please." Damian's voice was a low, pleading whisper as I moved to the edge of the living room, my eyes refusing to meet his. He reached for my arm, his hand warm, but I flinched at the touch."You have no idea how hard it is for me, Damian." My voice cracked, and I bit down on my lip, struggling to hold back the tears. The weight of everything—the betrayal, the lies, the lies about us—felt like a heavy cloak I couldn’t shake off. "Every time I look at you, I see the man who… who’s responsible for so much pain. I’m not sure I can forgive you."Damian’s eyes darkened, and for a split second, the cold, arrogant billionaire I had married seemed to resurface. But then it faded, replaced by a man I barely recognized—a man vulnerable and broken, just as much as I was."Naomi…" He moved closer, his fingers grazing my arm, sending a shiver through me. "I don’t expect you to forgive me right away. But I need you to know that I’m not that man anymore. I was lost. But now, I see eve
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 96: Rebirth in the Ashes
I couldn’t look at him. Not after everything that had happened. Damian was standing there, trying to be strong, but I could see the cracks in his facade. His empire had crumbled. His pride had been shattered. And, worst of all, I was the one he had risked everything for.“You don’t need to do this,” I whispered, my voice hoarse, barely audible above the sounds of the distant chaos outside. The walls of our once-pristine home were now nothing more than a shell of what they had been, their marble floors cracked, their golden chandeliers missing, their walls bare of the opulent art that had once adorned them.Damian’s footsteps echoed in the silent room, the sound of his approach almost too heavy for me to bear. He knelt in front of me, his dark eyes intense, focused. “I will rebuild it all, Naomi. For you. For us.”I recoiled from his touch, not because I didn’t want him, but because I knew the cost of this fight. The cost of what it would mean for him to continue down this path. “I’m b

"Damian, you don’t have to do this," I whisper, the ropes tight around my wrists, cutting into my skin as I struggle against them. Fear has taken root in my chest, but I won't show it. Not in front of Julian. His smirk only grows at my attempts to defy my circumstances, at my resistance."Naomi, you don’t get it, do you?" Damian’s voice is hoarse, his hands trembling slightly as they rest at his sides, helpless. He looks at me with wide eyes, a man on the edge of losing everything. His entire empire has been ripped from under him, and now here we are, his greatest test—me. "He’ll take everything, Naomi. Everything I’ve worked for. And worse, he’ll take you. I can’t let that happen."Julian, standing in the corner with his arms crossed, doesn’t even flinch. "You can’t have it both ways, Damian. You want her? Fine. But it’ll cost you everything. Your precious empire. Your fortune. Your reputation. Everything you’ve ever known."I meet Damian’s eyes. There’s so much I want to say. So muc
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 94: The Choice of Love
"Naomi, wait!" Damian's voice was urgent as I stepped away, my mind reeling from everything that had happened. The bomb—thank God—was defused just in time. But the damage... the emotional damage? That was already done.I turned, my heart heavy, my thoughts scattered. The weight of the situation had crushed me. Julian’s manipulations, his games, had already taken their toll. His words were like poison, and I had swallowed every drop. My loyalty to Damian, the love I thought we shared, had been shattered."Naomi, please," Damian continued, his voice raw with something I couldn't quite place. Desperation? Fear? Or maybe even... love?He stepped forward, reaching for my hand, but I pulled away, shaking my head. "Damian, I... I don't know anymore."The look in his eyes—painful, vulnerable—tore at my heart. He was broken, just like me. We were both walking through this battlefield of love and betrayal, and it felt like we were losing."I can't believe Julian did this to us," I whispered, my
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 93: Heart of War
"You think you can fight me, Naomi? You think Damian can protect you from me?" Julian's voice was cold, filled with venom. He stood across from me in the dimly lit room, his dark eyes burning with hatred.I stood tall, refusing to show any weakness. My heart raced, but my resolve was clear. "You’ll never have him. He’s mine," I said, my voice steady, even though a storm churned inside me. The man in front of me was dangerous, but I had something he could never take—Damian's love, his trust, his heart.Julian's lips curled into a twisted smile. "If I can’t have you, no one will. And that includes Damian." His words hit me like a slap, but I didn’t flinch. I couldn’t. Not when everything was on the line.Damian stood beside me, his presence a solid wall of strength. His jaw was tight, his fists clenched. The war with Julian had escalated to new heights. This wasn't just about business anymore; it was about everything we’d built—our future, our love, and our survival. And Julian was dete
BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND WIFE Chapter 92: The Depths of Deception
"Naomi, you lied to me?" Damian's voice cuts through the air like a blade, his eyes dark with betrayal. The words sting more than I could have imagined. I’ve been trying to hold it all together for so long, but this—this is a moment I never thought I’d face.I swallow hard, trying to steady myself as I feel the weight of his accusation settle between us. I hadn’t meant to lie, but in this twisted world of deceit and danger, I’d hidden truths to protect him. To protect us."Damian," I begin, my voice shaky. "I never wanted to hurt you. I—""Then why, Naomi? Why would you keep something like this from me?" His grip tightens around my wrist, and I wince at the pain, but I can’t bring myself to pull away."Because I thought—" I stop myself, realizing how foolish my reasoning sounds now. "I thought if you knew, it would destroy us both. I was trying to protect you."His gaze softens, just slightly, but the hurt is still there. "From what? From the truth? Naomi, we can’t survive without hon
