A heavy silence had settled over the room like a thick fog, suffocating and unrelenting. The weight of the truth pressed down on them all, but for Carmela, it felt unbearable.

Damion had been alive all this time. It was a very shocking revelation to Carmela after feeling disappointed and discouraged that he might have died and was never coming back even after his body went missing.

But now, He had never died. He was well alive but not completely sane. There was now a whole lot of confusing conspiracies to her that he was alive but not sane. He’s soul wasn’t even in the body that claims to be his.

And now, he was missing. Which was the worst case scenario she had expected to happen.

Carmela stood frozen, her breath coming in shallow gasps as she tried to process everything at once. The realization sent her heart pounding against her ribs, her body growing tense with barely contained frustration.

Lucas, who had been standing near the doorway, finally let out a long, weary sigh. “This

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 109

    The cold night air wrapped around them as the group left the sterile hospital corridors behind. In the dim light of the early morning, the heavy reality of their situation pressed down on everyone like a physical weight. Carmela, Lucas, Leonard, Catherine, and a few trusted aides had gathered in a secluded conference room within the hospital—a temporary war room where plans were hatched and doubts assuaged. Their faces, lit by the glow of a single overhead lamp, wore expressions ranging from despair to grim determination.Leonard was the first to speak. “We have to move fast. Adrian—our Damion—is out there somewhere in the Blackwood forest. If his mind is unstable… if he’s truly lost, he won’t last long in that wilderness.”Catherine’s eyes, once so steady with ancient wisdom, now shimmered with a mix of sorrow and resolve. “Our ancestors believed that the forest would consume those who dared disturb the sacred legacy of the Blackwoods,” she intoned. “It is dangerous and unpredictabl

    An hour later, the search party was assembled at the edge of the forest. Lucas and Leonard led a small group of trusted men, equipped with flashlights, night-vision goggles, and handheld trackers. Carmela and Catherine were reluctantly brought along; Carmela insisted on accompanying them, unable to bear the thought of being left behind while Damion was lost to the night.The forest loomed ahead, ancient and foreboding. The trees, tall and gnarled, stretched toward the starless sky. A dense fog slithered between them, and every rustle of leaves felt like a whispered warning.Lucas motioned for the group to spread out in a cautious formation. “Keep your comms open. We search the northern sector first. Remember, if we see any sign of him—any item of his clothing, any personal belonging—report immediately.” His voice was quiet, yet authoritative.Carmela walked slowly at Lucas’s side, her eyes scanning the ground for any clue, her heart pounding so loudly she could almost hear it echoing

    The forest seemed to hold its breath as the search party crept toward the indicated spot. Carmela’s mind was a jumble of emotions—grief, fear, anger, and hope—intertwined into a desperate plea for her lost love.Every rustle, every shifting shadow set her nerves on edge. Finally, a figure emerged from behind a cluster of trees. Carmela’s heart nearly stopped.It was a man. Not Damion—he looked different.Lucas’s radio crackled: “Visual confirmed. Unidentified subject in sector.”Carmela squinted into the dim light. The man’s face was hidden beneath a hood, his features obscured by shadow. For a moment, she thought it was Damion, but something was off—there was an eerie stillness in his step, a vacant look in his eyes.“Damion? I mean, Adrian? Is that you?” she whispered, reaching out instinctively, but the man moved away, disappearing into the trees.Lucas’s voice came over the radio, “No visual confirmation of Damion yet. Continue the search.”Carmela sank to the ground, tears stream

    Carmela’s heart raced as she followed Lucas along the narrow, muddy trail that led deeper into the forest. Every sound seemed amplified—the crunch of dry leaves underfoot, the distant call of a bird, the soft murmur of the creek ahead.As they reached the creek, Lucas signaled for everyone to stop. He knelt down, examining a small, portable device that was picking up the signal. “It’s here,” he said, voice quiet but firm. “I can feel it.”Carmela’s eyes filled with tears as she clutched the cufflink, the only tangible remnant of Damion’s presence. “Lucas, please,” she whispered. “Just… find him.”Lucas nodded, his expression serious. “We will.”Leonard joined them, his face etched with worry. “This is a critical point,” he murmured. “If Adrian’s out there, he might be close. But be cautious. The tracker is erratic, and this area is known for its treacherous terrain.”The three of them moved slowly, the forest around them eerily quiet now, as if nature itself were holding its breath. C

    After another agonizing hour with no clear lead, Leonard’s radio buzzed with urgent static. “Lucas, you need to get back. There’s been an incident at the hospital.”Lucas’s expression darkened. “What kind of incident?”Leonard hesitated before replying, “They’ve reported that Damion’s body is still missing from the hospital. There’s no record of him being brought in for surgery. It’s as if he never existed.”“And we know whys that, right?” Carmela’s heart pounded in her ears. “So what does this mean anyways? That he’s truly gone…” she whispered, her voice trembling.Lucas clenched his jaw, forcing himself to focus. “Not gone. We have to assume he’s out there somewhere, even if his mind is fractured. We can’t give up now.”Catherine, who had remained quiet until now, stepped forward slowly. “My dear, listen,” she said softly, her tone full of sorrow. “Our family’s curse has been at work for centuries. The key, the power it holds—this isn’t just about wealth or authority. It’s a burden,

    As the day wore on, the search party dispersed once more into the depths of the forest, determined to follow every lead. Carmela, though heartbroken, refused to stay behind. With trembling determination, she joined one of the smaller teams, her eyes scanning every inch of the undergrowth for any sign of Damion. Every distant sound, every flicker of movement, sent her heart racing.Hours passed in grueling silence. The forest, ancient and indifferent, seemed to watch them with hidden eyes. The sun sank lower, painting the sky with bruised shades of purple and gold, while the cool night air crept in. The tension was thick, as if the very trees were whispering secrets of cursed destinies and lost souls.Then, just as darkness began to cloak the woods, Leonard’s voice came crackling over the radio. “Lucas, we have a positive signal near the northern ridge. It’s faint, but it’s there. We’re moving in.”Lucas’s tone was resolute. “Team Delta, converge on the ridge immediately. Carmela, sta

    The hospital smelled of antiseptic and lingering fear. It had been hours since they’d found Damion—his body, at least—wandering aimlessly in the forest, his clothes tattered, his face hollow. His eyes had been vacant, unseeing, like a man whose mind had been completely shattered. It had taken three of Adrian’s men to restrain him, to drag him out of the depths of the wilderness before he could disappear forever. Now, he lay in a hospital bed, bound by restraints, machines beeping softly beside him, his unconscious form barely clinging to reality.The sterile hum of fluorescent lights and the rhythmic beep of heart monitors filled the hospital ward as Damion lay on a bed that, though pristine white, now seemed unbearably cold. His body—though it looked human to the untrained eye—moved with the mechanical precision of someone not fully in control of his own being. For hours, the doctors had worked tirelessly to stabilize him after his frantic escape from the cursed forest, but his con

    Adrian stepped closer, his presence magnetic and conflicted. “I never wanted to hide. I never wanted to be a secret—an abomination lurking in the shadows of our family’s disgrace. But the curse forced my hand. I would do what I think is necessary to protect our legacy, even if it meant sacrificing my own freedom.”Lucas, still standing by the doorway, glared at him. “Your protection came at the cost of Damion’s sanity, and now you expect us to accept that you’re going to fix everything with some magical key?”Adrian’s eyes flashed with bitter determination. “I know it sounds impossible. But I have to try. Every moment we delay is another moment lost. I’ll leave the hospital now with my men to retrieve the key and bring it back to its rightful place. Only then can we begin to reverse this cursed cycle.”Carmela’s voice broke through, laden with both despair and defiance. “So you’re saying that until the key is returned, Damion is… gone?”“I am here,” Adrian’s gaze dropped momentarily,

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 175

    Isabelle’s POV The flashing blue and red lights outside my home were almost blinding, their glow casting distorted shadows across the walls. The tension that had held me captive for days still lingered, but Nathan was finally safe. He was asleep upstairs, his tiny body curled up under the blankets where he belonged. Yet, the weight in my chest refused to lift. A uniformed officer stood in front of me, his expression calm but probing. I knew they wanted answers—real ones—but I wasn’t ready to give them. I had my answers. I just couldn’t say them out loud. Damion. “Ms. Everett,” the officer began gently, flipping through his notepad. “I understand this has been an overwhelming situation, but we need to be sure we’re closing this case properly. Are you certain there’s nothing else you’d like to report? No new suspicions about who took your son?” I felt Damion’s presence behind me, lingering by the doorway, tense and silent. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding so loud it

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 174

    Kaia’s POV The plan was unraveling faster than I had anticipated. When Damion stormed out after returning the boy, I knew things had shifted. I felt it in the way his voice trembled when he’d confronted me. The guilt. The hesitation. He was slipping away. And it was her fault. Isabelle. Always so righteous, so defiant, making him question everything I had carefully constructed. I paced the length of my penthouse, the sound of my heels echoing off the marble floors. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city glittered beneath the night sky, a perfect illusion of peace. But inside? Everything felt like it was closing in. Damion was supposed to be mine. I had done everything. Stood by him when his life crumbled. Cleaned up the mess after Isabelle abandoned him. I had been patient, understanding, even when he had made it clear she was still haunting him. And now? She was back, unraveling him piece by piece. And Walter—Walter was only making it worse. The call

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 173

    Isabelle’s POV The house felt unbearably quiet without Nathan. Every tick of the clock on the wall seemed louder, each second pressing down on me with suffocating weight. The walls felt closer, the air heavier, the silence almost mocking. I sat curled on the couch, staring blankly at the framed picture of Nathan on the mantel. His bright smile, the way his eyes sparkled with innocence and trust—it was too much. Tears blurred my vision, but I didn’t cry. I couldn’t. Crying meant giving in to the fear clawing at my chest. It meant accepting the nightmare Walter had pulled me into. And I couldn’t break. Not when my son was out there, scared and alone. The sharp knock on the door jolted me out of my daze. My pulse spiked. I shot to my feet, half stumbling as I rushed toward the door. Please. Let it be the police. Let it be news. Let it be— I swung the door open, and my heart stopped. Damion stood there. And in his arms, cradled carefully, was Nathan. I couldn’t

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 172

    Kaia’s POV It had all started with a whisper. The first time Damion had mentioned the child, I knew something was wrong. The way his voice caught when he asked about Nathan, the way his eyes lingered on the boy as if searching for a reflection of himself—it was like watching a man unravel in slow motion. And I couldn’t let that happen. Not again. Because I knew, deep down, that if Nathan was Damion’s son, everything I had worked for—the life I’d carefully built with him—would fall apart. So I did what I always did. I found a way to control the narrative. It hadn’t been difficult. Manipulation never was when you understood a man’s vulnerabilities. And Damion’s greatest vulnerability was his desperate need for closure. I hadn’t even needed to convince him. “It’s the only way,” I had whispered to him weeks ago, the night we’d sat in his study, the tension thick between us. “If she won’t tell you the truth, we have to find it ourselves.” And he’d agreed. But now, a

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 171

    Isabelle’s POV The photograph trembled in my hands. Nathan—my sweet boy—blindfolded, vulnerable, and so far out of reach. The handwritten message beneath his image echoed in my mind. “You were warned. Now listen.” A cold knot twisted in my stomach. Walter. This was him. It had to be. I felt Damion’s presence behind me before I heard him speak. His voice was low, dangerous. “Let me see it.” I handed him the photograph with shaky fingers, my breath shallow. The moment his eyes scanned the image, his entire body stiffened. His jaw clenched so tightly I could hear his teeth grinding. The hand holding the photo curled into a fist, crumpling the paper slightly as his gaze darkened with rage. “Damion,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “What do we do? He’s my son. Our son—” “What?!” He turned sharply, his eyes burning with something unreadable. “Nathan is my son?!” I nodded nervously. I couldn’t lie to him anymore. It was for the best. He had to know the truth. If he’s

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 170

    Isabelle’s POV The sound of shattering glass ripped through the house like a gunshot. “Nathan!” My heart seized, and without thinking, I bolted toward the kitchen. Damion was right behind me, his voice sharp. “Stay behind me, Isabelle!” I didn’t listen. All I could think about was my son—my baby. The kitchen window was broken, shards of glass glittering across the floor, but it was the open back door that made my blood run cold. The wind howled through it, carrying the sound of tires screeching in the distance. He was gone. Nathan. I stumbled forward, my breath catching painfully in my chest. “Nathan! Nathan, where are you?!” Silence. The kind of silence that leaves a void, the kind that makes you realize something precious has been stolen from you. Damion’s hands caught my shoulders, pulling me back as I shook uncontrollably. “Isabelle—stop! Stop! He’s not here!” His voice was rough but controlled, his grip anchoring me as I felt like I was falling apart.

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 169

    Isabelle’s POV I stared at the message on my phone, the cold words burning into my mind. “You’re running out of time. Leave, or face the consequences.” Walter. I didn’t need proof. His fingerprints were all over this. The sudden sabotage of my contracts, the threatening text—it was his way of reminding me that I was nothing to him. That I was a problem he needed to erase. But the part that rattled me most wasn’t the threat itself. It was the fact that Walter knew I wouldn’t leave. Not this time. I set my phone down, inhaling deeply, fighting to steady my pulse. I wouldn’t be bullied. I wouldn’t let this man, or anyone else, push me out of my life. I had built everything from scratch. My business. My reputation. My home. But as I sat there, staring into the dimly lit living room, the ache in my chest was undeniable. Because I hadn’t just built this life for myself. I had built it for Nathan. The sound of his soft footsteps broke my spiral. “Mommy?” His sleep

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 168

    Isabelle’s POV The morning came with a sense of foreboding I couldn’t shake. I’d barely slept, my thoughts consumed by Walter Ryder’s warning and the weight of his veiled threat. It wasn’t just his words that unsettled me—it was the way he delivered them. Calm. Cold. Unrelenting. Nathan’s laughter floated from the living room as I sipped my coffee, his innocent joy a stark contrast to the storm brewing in my mind. I glanced at my phone, the unread messages from Brian a reminder that my life wasn’t just a mess—it was a tangled web, and I was caught in the center of it. Stephanie’s call came just as I was about to head to the office. Her voice was rushed, almost panicked. “Miss Everett, we have a situation.” I gripped the phone tighter. “What is it?” “Three of our major clients have pulled out of their contracts this morning,” she said, her voice trembling. “No explanation. Just… gone.” The room tilted slightly, but I forced myself to stay calm. “All at once?” “Yes,” s

  • My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me   Chapter 167

    Isabelle’s POV Walter Ryder was a man whose presence lingered long after he left a room. Even now, as I sat in my office staring blankly at the door he had walked through, I could feel his cold, calculating gaze bearing down on me. His warning replayed in my mind, his words like shards of ice cutting through my resolve. “Take your son and disappear before Damion gets too close.” It wasn’t a suggestion—it was a threat. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. Walter Ryder had always been a puppet master, pulling strings from the shadows, and I wasn’t naïve enough to think his visit was just a courtesy call. He wanted me gone. He always had. But this time, I wasn’t running. Later that afternoon, I sat in my living room with Nathan, his laughter filling the space as he played with his toy cars. Watching him, I felt a pang of guilt. His innocence was a stark contrast to the storm brewing around us, and I hated that he was caught in the middle of it. “Mommy,” he
