last update Last Updated: 2025-03-06 21:36:41

“Damian, no,” I whispered, my voice barely above a breath, “this is insane. We can’t fight them like this.”

He stood in front of me, fists clenched, his eyes narrowed in determination. “We have to, Naomi. I won’t let them destroy everything we’ve fought for.”

I shook my head, desperate to reach him, to pull him from the edge of whatever dark plan he was hatching. “We can’t play their game, Damian. It’s too dangerous. They’ll stop at nothing.”

“They already have.” His voice was ice, his gaze piercing through me as though I were the enemy, but I knew the pain behind it. “Charlotte’s family won’t stop until they’ve buried me—and us—into the ground. I’m not going to let them get away with it.”

I stepped closer, my heart pounding against my chest. “If we fight, we fight together. There’s no us if we’re divided, Damian.”

His eyes softened, just for a moment. It was the first time in days that I saw the man who had married me—the man who had once tried to protect me. The cold, ruthless billi

    The clanging of the metal door echoed like a death sentence as I was pushed into the cold, sterile cell. My breath caught in my throat, the weight of my situation crashing down on me all at once. "Naomi Hayes," the officer had said, her voice devoid of any empathy as she slapped the cuffs on me. "You're under arrest for the attempted murder of Damian Cross."I wanted to scream, to lash out at the absurdity of it all, but I could only stand there, shaking. My hands trembled, my heart beating wildly in my chest.Damian. My mind raced to him. He couldn’t be far. He wouldn’t let them do this to me."Naomi," a soft voice called out from the door. I turned to see Olivia, her eyes wide with worry, her lips parted in shock. She was the last person I expected to see here, but I was grateful for her presence."Olivia..." I croaked, my voice barely a whisper. "They’re trying to lock me away for something I didn’t do.""I know," she said, stepping into the cell and wrapping her arms around me, pu

    “Sit down, Damian,” Richard Harrington’s voice was cold, like the edge of a blade pressed against my skin. “We have a lot to discuss.”I didn’t hesitate. My body was rigid, my jaw clenched. I had come for one thing: to save Naomi. But as I sat across from Richard, my hands balled into fists beneath the table. I could feel the anger simmering inside me, threatening to explode. This man was the reason my world had been torn apart. He was the reason Naomi was behind bars.“You’ve made a grave mistake, Richard,” I growled, narrowing my eyes. “I’m not here to negotiate. I’m here to get Naomi out.”Richard leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the polished wood. “I don’t think you understand,” he said with that smug grin of his. “You have no power here. You never did. Do you want your precious wife out of prison? Then you’ll have to play by my rules.”His words sent a chill through me. Richard Harrington had never been one to deal in subtlety. Every word was a threat

    “Please,” I whisper, my voice barely audible above the roar of flames that lick at the edges of the van. My heart beats erratically, each thud seeming to echo through the thin metal walls surrounding me. I’m trapped. The smoke is suffocating, making it harder to breathe. The air is thick with the stench of gasoline and fire. I cough violently, my eyes stinging from the acrid fumes.I try to push against the door, but it’s stuck. Panic claws at me from all sides, tightening its grip as masked figures surround the van. Their heavy boots crunch against the gravel, the sound of their approach sending a fresh wave of terror through me.“Naomi Hayes,” a cold voice says, muffled by the mask. “Time’s up.”I freeze, my blood running cold. They know my name. They know exactly who I am—and that means nothing good.I’ve been running for days. From Damian’s enemies. From Charlotte. From the chaos that’s exploded in every corner of my life. I thought I could escape. But now, as the fire spreads and

    “What now?” I asked, my voice trembling with exhaustion. The mountain air was thin, biting at my skin, but the chill in the atmosphere was nothing compared to the weight that pressed against my chest. Every breath felt like a struggle, every second a battle.Damian stood at the window, scanning the tree line. His silhouette was hard to distinguish from the dark, but I could see the tension in his shoulders, the ever-present aura of danger around him. He didn’t answer right away, and I wondered if he even had an answer. For the first time in a long time, he seemed unsure, even vulnerable.“They’re out there,” he finally murmured, his voice low, almost growling. “I can feel it.”I didn’t need him to elaborate. I could feel it too. Every rustling leaf, every snap of a twig felt like an alarm going off in my head. We were trapped in this remote cabin, miles away from civilization, with no way of knowing who was out there or how long we had before they found us.The silence was broken by a

    "You should have known better, Damian," the voice cuts through the heavy silence of the cabin like a knife. I freeze, my heart racing as the man steps into the flickering light, revealing a face I thought I'd never see again.It's Eric. Damian's former best friend.I glance at Damian, whose expression hardens in an instant. His jaw tightens, the muscles in his neck visible under the tension, and his grip on my hand becomes like iron."Eric," Damian says, his voice low, almost as if he can’t believe it himself.Eric's lips curl into a smile that’s far too cold for comfort. His once youthful features are now shadowed by something darker, something I can't quite place, but it’s there, lurking in his eyes. He used to be like a brother to Damian. How did it all go so wrong?"You’re not welcome here," Damian growls, stepping forward as though he’s preparing for a fight. "Leave now, before I make you."I watch, stunned, as Eric's smile fades into something more sinister. “It’s too late for t

    The moment the gunshot rang through the air, everything seemed to freeze. I barely registered the sound of the bullet cutting through the room before I saw Eric fall—his body crumpling to the floor in a twisted heap. The world slowed around me, the harsh reality of the situation sinking in like a stone in my stomach.I wanted to scream, to run, to do anything, but the chaos had already overtaken us. Damian’s chest heaved beneath me as he slumped, blood staining his shirt. I barely noticed the pain in my own arms as I tried to keep him upright, my hands trembling as I pressed them to the wound on his side.“Damian! Damian, stay with me!” I hissed, my voice breaking. His face was pale, his lips barely moving as he blinked up at me, dazed."Naomi…" he whispered, his voice hoarse."Damian, you can’t leave me," I begged, pressing my lips to his forehead, desperate to hold onto him. "I need you. Please, fight for us."His eyes flickered closed, but I wasn’t ready to lose him—not like this,

    “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Olivia murmured, flipping through the thick stack of papers with trembling hands. Her gaze flickered from the documents to me, a mix of disbelief and concern clouding her face. “This can’t be real.”I stared at the papers in her hands, my heart pounding. The room was silent except for the soft rustle of the pages. My fingers gripped the edge of the table, but I couldn’t pull my eyes away from the papers that told a story I never expected to hear. Not about Damian. Not about us.Olivia leaned forward, her eyes scanning the final page. “Naomi, look at this,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.I moved closer, ignoring the racing pulse in my neck. My gaze moved over the documents—legal papers, birth certificates, and something that made my chest tighten. A family tree. A name I didn’t recognize. It looked like it had been taken straight from some ancient archive, but it was there, unmistakable.Damian Cross, the billionaire I had married, the man wh

    “You’re sure this is true?” I asked, my voice trembling as I stood beside Damian in his private office, staring down at the stack of documents. The truth was unfolding in front of me, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it. Could this be real?Damian, his expression unreadable, took a slow breath and nodded. “It’s true. My grandfather, Richard Harrington, is from one of the oldest and most powerful families in Europe—the Montagues. They’ve been trying to get me to take back the name, to reclaim what’s rightfully mine. My legacy.”I swallowed hard. My world had always been a whirlwind of wealth and power, but this… this was something entirely different. The Montagues. A name that held more weight than anything I could’ve imagined. And it was Damian’s.“They want me to be the man they’ve always hoped I’d be. The heir to their empire. But I’ve rejected it. I won’t be anyone’s puppet, Naomi,” Damian said, his voice growing steadier with every word.I stood there, trying to process the

    "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

    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

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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

    "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

    "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
