The table fell silent as Carmela’s hand slammed down, the glass teetering on the edge before tipping over and spilling its contents across the polished wood.“Carmela!” Lily exclaimed, grabbing a napkin and hurriedly trying to clean the spreading alcohol.But Carmela didn’t move. Her eyes were locked on Damion, her expression tight with anger and frustration.Damion’s hand lingered on hers for just a second longer before he let go, his gaze steady and unreadable.“What do you want from me?” Carmela’s voice trembled, not with fear but with suppressed rage.The group shifted uncomfortably, sensing the growing tension but unsure how to intervene.Lily, always one to protect her friend, nudged Carmela’s arm and whispered, “Carmela, don’t do this.”But it was too late. Carmela pushed back her chair abruptly, the sound grating against the floor, and stood. Without another word, she stormed off toward the bathroom, leaving behind a trail of uneasy silence.Inside the bathroom, Carmela grippe

Damion sat stiffly in the backseat of the car, his fists clenched tightly on his lap. His hair, usually neatly styled, was disheveled, a testament to his frustration. He had left the café in a rush, his chest tight with an anger he couldn’t explain.His knuckles still ached from the punch he had thrown at the seat in front of him earlier, but the physical pain paled in comparison to the storm raging inside him.“Sir?” the driver asked hesitantly, glancing at him in the rearview mirror.Damion sighed, wiping at his lips with the back of his hand as though to rid himself of the lingering taste of alcohol. His sharp gray eyes focused out the window, where the café lights spilled into the dark street.“Where to, sir?” the driver asked again.Before Damion could answer, his phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with a text.Elena: Where are you? I have a surprise for you. Come over.Damion stared at the message for a moment before exhaling sharply. “Take me to Elena’s house,” he said curtly

Damion frowned, his sharp gaze cutting through the dim light of the room as he glanced back toward the door. “Did you hear that?” he asked, his voice low and wary.Elena, still standing before him, tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Hear what?”“I thought I heard someone,” he muttered, his eyes narrowing as he stared at the slightly ajar door.Elena stepped closer, placing a hand on his chest. “It’s nothing, Damion,” she said, her voice soft and sultry. “You’re imagining things. You’ve been under so much stress lately.”Damion stepped back, putting space between them. “Elena, stop this. Whatever you’re trying to do, it’s not going to work.”Her lips curved into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “Why are you fighting this so much? You used to care about me, Damion. We were good together once. Don’t you miss that?”“No,” he said firmly, his voice cold. “What we had is over. It’s been over for a long time.”Elena’s smile faltered, but she quickly masked it, stepping closer again.

Damion grabbed his coat, his mind racing as he prepared to leave his office. The video replayed in his mind like a broken record—Carmela leaving his hotel room that night, the truth he had been too blind to see staring him in the face.He needed to see her. Now.Just as he reached for the door, Leonard stepped into his path, his expression tense. “Sir, where are you going?”“To Carmela’s house,” Damion said sharply, his voice leaving no room for negotiation.Leonard hesitated, shifting uncomfortably. “Have you forgotten, sir? We’re supposed to meet Mr. Cross tonight.”Damion froze, the name pulling him out of his thoughts. Lucas Cross. His best friend and the man he had been planning to partner with for months.“He just got back into the country,” Leonard continued, his tone gentle but firm. “You know how important this meeting is. If we cancel now, it’ll jeopardize the partnership.”Damion clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he considered his options. He wanted nothing more tha

Damion sat behind his massive desk, a pen poised in his hand as he signed yet another contract. The weight of the night before lingered, heavy and unrelenting, as his thoughts wandered back to Carmela.The memory of her shattered expression haunted him. He had replayed their conversations countless times in his mind, his chest tightening with every detail he had missed. And now, with the truth finally out, he felt like a man standing on the edge of a precipice, unsure of how to fix what he had broken.The sudden sound of his office door slamming open snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up sharply, his pen clattering onto the desk as his assistant, Leonard, rushed inside, clearly flustered.“Sir, I tried to stop her—” Leonard began, his words tumbling over each other.Behind him, Carmela stepped into the room, her face set in a mixture of defiance and bitterness.“It’s fine, Leonard,” Damion said curtly, his gaze locked on her. “You can leave.”Leonard hesitated, glancing betwee

Carmela’s heart raced as she faced Lucas, her high school sweetheart, standing in Damion’s office. The years had been kind to him; his chiseled features and confident demeanor were even more striking than she remembered.“What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice tinged with surprise and curiosity.Lucas smiled warmly, the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m back in town for a business deal,” he explained, glancing briefly at Damion. “Damion and I are discussing a potential partnership.”Carmela’s eyes widened. “You two know each other?”Damion, who had been silently observing the exchange, finally spoke. “Lucas and I have been in talks for a while. He’s considering investing in one of our new projects.”Lucas nodded, his gaze returning to Carmela. “It’s a small world, isn’t it? I never expected to run into you here.”“Neither did I,” she admitted, a soft smile playing on her lips.“We should catch up sometime,” Lucas suggested, his tone casual yet hopeful. “It’s been too long.”

Carmela’s heart pounded as Elena’s words echoed in her mind. “I’m pregnant.” She stood frozen for a moment, trying to comprehend the weight of what she had just heard.But the smug smile on Elena’s face was too much to bear. Without thinking, Carmela grabbed her arm, pulling her into a nearby empty meeting room.“What are you talking about?” Carmela demanded, her voice trembling with a mixture of anger and disbelief. “What do you mean you’re pregnant?”Elena yanked her arm free, smoothing her blouse as she raised an eyebrow. “Exactly what I said,” she replied, her tone dripping with satisfaction. “I’m pregnant, and it’s Damion’s child.”Carmela’s jaw clenched as she stepped closer. “You’re lying.”Elena laughed softly, folding her arms across her chest. “Oh, sweet Carmela. Why would I lie about something like this?”“Because you’re desperate,” Carmela shot back, her voice rising. “You’re trying to push me away from him, but it’s not going to work.”Elena’s smirk widened. “Push you awa

The scent of freshly printed pages and old, well-worn books filled the bookstore as Carmela wandered through the aisles, her fingers lightly grazing the spines of various novels. The soft hum of classical music played in the background, and for a moment, she allowed herself to be distracted by the tranquility of the place.Lily trailed beside her, flipping through a book absentmindedly before glancing at Carmela. “Okay, spill it,” she said, breaking the silence.Carmela sighed, pulling a book from the shelf and pretending to read the back cover. “Spill what?”Lily rolled her eyes. “Don’t play dumb. I know something happened today. You’ve been in a daze since we left the office.”Carmela hesitated, then placed the book back on the shelf. “Elena came to see me,” she admitted, her voice quieter now.“Yeahhh…” Lily’s expression darkened instantly. “What did that witch want?”Carmela inhaled sharply. “She said she’s pregnant… and that it’s Damion’s child.”Lily’s mouth fell open, but no wo

Leonard’s voice was steady as he spoke, “Carmela, we’ll find him. We’re following every lead, every signal. But right now, we must let the police handle Elena. They’re tracking her down, and from what I’ve heard, she’s already killed two officers. It appears someone is shielding her—someone with power, someone who wants to keep her actions hidden.”Carmela’s eyes widened in shock, “Killed two officers? Who could possibly protect someone like that?”Leonard shook his head, “We don’t know yet. But it’s clear that Elena is not acting alone. We must assume there’s a network behind her—an organization or perhaps even a faction within the Blackwood legacy that has its own agenda.”The gravity of Leonard’s words sank into Carmela like a stone. “Then why wasn’t I told any of this before? I deserve to know the truth!”Lucas scowled. “Because sometimes, the truth is too dangerous to reveal until it’s absolutely necessary. We’re all in the dark right now.”Carmela’s voice trembled with bitter re

The night had deepened into a nearly impenetrable darkness by the time the sirens began to wail outside the hospital’s perimeter. Rain fell in a fine, persistent drizzle, blurring the neon reflections on slick pavement and turning the air cold and heavy. Inside the hospital, however, the atmosphere was even heavier—a mingling of grief, dread, and a desperate need for answers. The news that Elena had attempted to harm Damion’s unconscious body, that she had already killed two police officers during her frantic escape, had set off a chain of events none of them could have foreseen. Now, as the police closed in, the night was rapidly becoming a maelstrom of chaos and betrayal.Carmela sat in a quiet, dimly lit room off the main corridor, her tear-streaked face illuminated only by the soft glow of a desk lamp. Her parents had been sent home, unable to face the gruesome revelations of the past hours. Only Lily remained by her side—a constant, albeit fragile, pillar of support—and Leonar

Adrian’s eyes shimmered with an emotion he rarely allowed himself to show. “I never wanted to hide, Carmela. I never wanted to keep the truth from you. But fate is cruel, and the curse has twisted our lives beyond repair. I promise you—I will do everything in my power to make it right. Just hold on a little longer.”The intensity in his voice, the raw vulnerability in his eyes, stirred something deep within Carmela. With a shaky cry, she nodded, “I’ll wait. I’ll wait as long as it takes.”A heavy silence fell once more as Adrian turned toward the door. “I’m leaving now,” he announced. “I must retrieve the key and set things right. My men will accompany me, and I will return with answers. Until then, do not lose hope.”With that, he stepped away from Carmela, his expression resolute yet haunted. His loyal aides gathered around him, and together they left the hospital, disappearing into the murky light of early morning.⸻Meanwhile, Inside the HospitalThe corridors were quiet after Adr

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,

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
My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me Chapter 114
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
My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me Chapter 113
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,
My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me Chapter 112
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
My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me Chapter 111
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
