Untouchable ex-wife of the ruthless billionaire CEO Chapter 1:The weeding contact
Lillian, this is not about love. It comes down to obligation. Her father spoke with a hard, relentless quality. Edward Ashford was a man fashioned from stone, his presence an immobile force in the upper society of New York. His slicked back salt-and-pepper hair, his perfect tailored suit, a picture of control and expectation. Lillian's emerald-green eyes flicked up to meet his sight. And what about satisfaction? A scorn. A contemptuous sweep of his hand. You have wasted too much time believing in illogical dreams. Married to Damon Blackwood guarantees our legacy. Only that counts. Blackwood, Damon Just the name caused her to shiver involuntarily. Everyone in the city knew him, the cold, merciless billionaire who used iron fists to build his empire. Their participation had been planned for years, whispered in elite social circles, but he had never once acknowledged her presence. just a contract; nothing more. No flowers, no proposals, no softly worded pledges. Just a legal agreemen

Lillian pushed her expression to appear calm even as her breath stopped. She told herself; you knew this was your place. a wife named merely in title. Before she went another step, the whispering began. See her here. hopeless. She is still fixated on Mrs. Ashford, as though that defines something. "His mistress practically drapes herself over him," says one. With her nails rubbing across the delicate stem, Lillian tightened her hold on her champagne glass. Her mother had instructed her when she was small, never let them know your suffering, Lillian; a calm inhale stabilised her. Never forget to wear your crown. Calling every last bit of control, she raised her chin and marched farther within. A waiter approached, and she grabbed a fresh glass of champagne, sipping deliberately as though the conversation around her went under her awareness. At last Damon spun. Their glances crossed the room; his were dark as a midnight storm, inscrutable. Something glowed in their depths for a

She turned to check the time. 2:47 a.m. Damon hadn't arrived back at home. She felt a stinging pang in her chest, but she pushed herself to consciously breath gently. It was not novel. Like last night, he had spent many evenings away. But tonight, after everything, the whispers, the looks, the humiliation, his absence felt different. It came across as a statement. On the nightstand, her phone buzzed, its vibration breaking through the quiet. She reached for it with doubtful fingers. one note from Vanessa. Look at Seraphina's post. dread knotted low in her gut. Her pulse pounding against her ribs, her hands became sweaty as she swiped open the app. The screen loaded slowly, but when it did, each breath she had left left one sharp exhale. Her most recent piece was a darkly lit, closely close picture. A woman's bare back against silk sheets, a masculine hand resting possessively on her hip. Lillian's blood ran cold. The caption beside it said: Tonight will live in memory. Her f

Then Seraphina spoke, her tone light-hearted with laughter. She pounced, sounding so pitiful. "Always hoping you will come home." Still Lillian. Slice through her, sharp and easy. The stillness arrived next. She straightened herself, waiting for Damon to fix it. To discount it. In general. instead, though, he laughed. The sound was low and negligent. detached Lillian's pulse thumping in her ears loosened her hold on the folder. Seraphina let out a very long sigh. "You could at least bring her out of suffering. Bad things linger waiting for something unreal. Nevertheless, Damon said nothing. Lillian's stomach's nausea twisted more and curved like a vice around her ribs. His voice then came, low and frigid. "She is just a names on a contract; she is nothing." Her hand dropped the folder, dullly thumping on the glossy floor. Lillian stayed still, staring at the door's crack as if she could ignore the words that had just rocked her world. a name. only a name. Not a buddy.

Sliding the neat white page across the table, the attorney stated, "This is the final document." Legal bindingness of the divorce follows from your signature. Lillian fixed her eye on the paper. Her moniker. His title. A marriage reduced to ink on a page. She swallowed, fingers encircling the pen. Vanessa sat next her, still but present, her presence grounding. Lillian was staring, waiting, observing her best buddy. She had practiced this one thousand times in her mind. She had fantasised about being free, triumphant, relieved. She only felt, though, painful hollowness. Her fingers shook just once, then she steadied them. She would not jump right away. She cherished him. He had not loved her at all. The truth is that. She let the pen drop to the page. Davenport, Lillian. Not Ashford, though. NOT Blackwood. Just Lillian. Her chest became like a stone, the finality of it sinking in there. She put the pen down. Vanessa stretched across to cover Lillian's hand with hers. "I

The shelves had nothing on them. Row of pricey designer gowns, gone. She liked soft pastel scarves, but missing. His jaw clinched. This ought to be a joke. He entered, eyes darting over the area in search of something, anything to explain the hollow emptiness before him. He examined the drawers. The counter in the bathroom is the vanity from where she formerly sat, nighttime hair brushing. She left hardly a trace at all. The awareness crept in gently, like a frigid hand around his throat. Lillian left. Not only tonight. Not merely engaged in one of her silent games. She had gone. Damon let out a harsh exhaled, fingers tightening into fists at his sides. His eyes strayed to the bed, where just her fading aroma lingered, mocking him with a presence absent now. She had defeyed expectations for the first time in years. He laughed, the sound low, humourless. He said, "She'll be back," shook his head and turned towards the bathroom. Lillian had left the house. Not only for dem

"Damon, the media's asking about Lillian, said, entering his office with an unreadable expression," his assistant Ethan stated. "They need assurance the divorce is official. They are wondering where she has disappeared to. Damon looked at him, eyelids closing. "Where she's gone??" He laughed and slanted back in his chair. Though his voice was icy, there was strain under. She left. They only need to know that. Ethan slowed down. "Do you want me to write a statement?" Damon watched the glass of whisky on his desk, the amber liquid whirling in slow, methodical circles, his fingers tapping against the armrest. He felt no need for a declaration. Not had to justify anything to anybody. She had departed; he had not given a damn. Still, he felt something chew at him—an anxiety he couldn't identify. Her absence seems to have tipped the equilibrium in his life. Not at all It's meaningless, Damon murmured, his voice far away. He grabbed his phone, swirled through a few emails, then waved Et

Under his breath he murmured, "Damn it." The agreement he had been depending on had fallen apart with the investor. It was a tragedy he couldn afford to ignore. His mind flew, the bits clicking together shockingly clearly. This was not a little mistake. This sort of error might destroy an empire. Damon threw his fist against the table, scattering the papers. Sensing the atmosphere in the room, his aide James walked warily inside. "Mr. Blackwood? " James said softly, not sure how to handle the tempest building ahead of him. "who let this happen?" Damon's voice broke the quiet, low yet tinged with rage. His gaze locked on James, seeking a justification. James stammered, his eyes straying to the floor. " I... I apologies, sir; but, the documentation showed a delay with the accountant and, " Damon shot a sharp "No excuses." He stood, his chair aggressively dragging back against the floor. "This is not good." We had an agreement. Everything was just how it should have been. James mo

"You need to stop chasing her," Jaxon said calmly and deliberately. He was neither begging nor asking. It was a command. Damon's jaw clenched and his hold on the whisky glass became tighter until the crystal looked about to shatter under his touch. He laughed softly, nearly undetectable, with a sour undertone. Since when do you command me? Though terse, Damon’s statements clearly conveyed a challenge. He straightened up straighter, looking at Jaxon as though he were an adversary. Jaxon's face remained unchanged. The action seemed casual, as if he didn't sense the tension growing between them, so he just sipped his drink slowly. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm warning you. His gaze shifted from Lillian back to Damon, his voice dropping a little. She is no longer yours. The words struck Damon hard, raw and unrelenting. His breath caught and for the briefest time he believed he could lose control. But he would not. He never done that. Not in front of anybody. Meeting Jaxon's sta
Untouchable ex-wife of the ruthless billionaire CEO Chapter 18: Damon Confronts Lillian
Damon Standing by the bar, his back straight and strong jawline precisely positioned under the overhead lights. Though his posture shouted strength, his look as it fixed on her revealed something more. It was the fervour. The same look he had given her in their past: deadly, demanding, impossible to ignore. Lillian's heart leapt. She had hoped the distance between them would lessen the impact he had on her, but seeing him now, so near, only made the old feelings rise. The draw. The recollections. The turmoil that came after them both. She kept looking. She was unable to. Watching her, Damon narrowed his gaze and his face became inscrutable. Lillian drew a breath and gathered herself. She was no longer the lady who had allowed him to control her life. She was no longer that naive girl trapped in the undertow of his charm and power. A well-meaning server walked by and a glass of champagne materialised in her palm. Grounding her, she sipped and felt the cool liquid slide down her th
Untouchable ex-wife of the ruthless billionaire CEO Chapter 17: Seraphina's Insecurity
This isn't correct, she thought, her hold on the glass tightening. Damon's desire to Lillian wasn't only physical; it was more like a shift, a change in the air that Seraphina couldn't ignore. Lillian was turning into a danger Seraphina could no longer deny. The woman was lovely and confident; now, it appeared she was sliding under Damon's skin in ways Seraphina could not control. A real smile filling her face, her breath hitched as she watched Lillian chuckle at something Knox had said. Knox's hand brushing against her waist as he leaned in was all too much. Turning fast and with a hardened expression, Seraphina looked for an ally's solace. Her gaze roamed the room until they found one guy she trusted, Jaxon Thornfield, a man with ties and loyalties extending well beyond what most people knew. She had no time to lose. Seraphina's voice fell to a whisper as she walked towards him, her heels tapping hard on the marble. This has to be fixed right away. We have to correct this. At th
Untouchable ex-wife of the ruthless billionaire CEO Chapter 16: An Unexpected Rival
"Even more breathtaking up close," Knox remarked, his voice strong enough for Damon to hear. The liquid within had long since forgotten, hence Damon's hold on his whisky glass grew tighter. The words' sound hurt; his chest tightened as he watched every motion between them. He had knew Lillian was interesting. But Knox's remarks and the way he held her attention so naturally caused something in Damon crack. Anger was bubbling under the surface, ready to explode. He understood how this game operated. Always in charge, always the one who decided the terms, he had played it many times. But now, with Lillian, everything was changing. Though she wasn't his to control, the idea of losing her to someone, someone like Knox, seemed a betrayal, a hurt that would last forever. He ought to have been the one to cause her to grin like that. He ought to have been the one to notice that sparkle in her eyes. But he wasn't. It was Knox Vandermeer. Lillian looked up to see Damon staring at her from

"Lillian," Damon whispered under his breath, his voice almost inaudible among the gala's murmuring. Yet she remained still. She didn't even blink. His voice seemed to be just another sound in the symphony of conversation surrounding her. A voice next to him shattered the stillness. "She's out of your reach now," he said. Standing only a few steps away, Jaxon Thornfield had his hands casually folded behind his back. Damon's jaw tightened. "I can manage her," he murmured, the words feeling harsh on his mouth. He was unsure if he was convincing Jaxon, himself, or the picture of Lillian in front of him. Could you? Jaxon enquired, his voice a soft provocation. Damon was silent. His attention stayed on Lillian, whose head was somewhat askew as she chuckled at something a man next to her said. Unlike the woman he had known, her laugh was warm, vibrant, and full of life. So different from the lady who previously chuckled just for him. Will she remember you back? Jaxon pushed, his voice

Jaxon said, "You know," his voice cutting through his musings. I've never seen her like this before. She has always been able, but now? Now she is in a class of her own. Damon looked at him, unaware he had been gazing at her. His gaze returned to Lillian, observing her chuckle at something a high-ranking official had said. Her beauty wasn't the only thing that captivated him. It was how simply she ruled every place she walked into. Every movement was intentional. Every syllable was a deliberate action. Damon grumbled under his breath that she had always been able, but the comments seemed empty, far too feeble for the lady in front of him. You didn't see what I saw back then, right? Jaxon went on, his eyes sparkling with something resembling amusement. She was always more than you thought. Damon's heart thudded as Lillian's eyes caught his for a brief second before she turned back to the discussion, expertly reclaiming her dominant position. Their relationship, whatever it had been
Untouchable ex-wife of the ruthless billionaire CEO Chapter 13: Damon Sees Her Again
"Damon," a voice interrupted his daydreaming and he blinked. Beside him, Jaxon Thornfield stood, his gaze also on Lillian. You appear to be as fascinated as everyone else. Damon remained silent, his mouth clenching as he kept staring at Lillian. She had not yet seen him, but it was just a question of time. She was now too unstoppable, too powerful. Lillian's eyes ran over the throng as she crossed the floor; for the briefest time, she looked at Damon. Damon's heart raced. For a fleeting second, he believed he saw something, perhaps familiarity or warmth, but it disappeared very immediately. As though he were just another face in the throng, she turned away without a sign of hesitation. When Jaxon nudged him, he was still looking. Jaxon said, his voice sarcastic, "You should go talk to her." Damon, "She's not the girl you left behind." Damon's eyes narrowed, but his speech was laboured. The past doesn't interest me. Jaxon lifted an eyebrow. "Not?" Then why do you seem to have j

"Get up, Jaxon," Lillian murmured softly, but her tone had a sharp edge that only those who knew her well could comprehend. "Your place is known to both of us." Not for a second losing eye contact with Lillian, Jaxon got up not flinching. Though nearly undetectable, his grin revealed to Damon the respect in his eyes. A sort of respect Damon had not earned. Damon's heart raced in his chest and, for the first time, he understood he was no longer the most strong player in the room. Though the discussion in the room started up again, Damon's thoughts raced but his attention remained on Lillian and Jaxon. He could sense the jealousy creeping up his back, but more than that, a deep, strange sensation took hold in his stomach, a mix of respect and anger. The lady he once owned, the one he believed he could was suddenly demanding the respect of guys like Jaxon Thornfield. For all his might, Damon had no clue how to react to this fresh Lillian. Though the ice had long since melted into no
Untouchable ex-wife of the ruthless billionaire CEO Chapter 11: The Gala Stunner
Is that… Lillian Ashford? one woman exclaimed softly. As she walked, her dress swirled about her, a perfect dark blue silk glistening under the chandeliers. Every action was a dance; each stride was intentional, elegant. Lillian's serenity had a hint of strength even as she held her chin high, every inch of her exuding authority. She wasn't only at this gala; she was running it. Damon Blackwood stood at the far end of the room, his gaze fixed on her the instant she walked in. He tightened his hold on the whisky glass crystal. He had not anticipated this; he had not anticipated her appearance. She was no longer the lady who had held upon him for support. This Lillian was impenetrable; her confidence was as much a weapon as her attractiveness. A man next to him grumbled, attempting to keep his voice down but failing, "I heard she's taken the industry by storm." Damon, his eyes on her, said nothing. As she chatted with some of the city's most influential people, Lillian's smooth, con
