All Chapters of Taming My Arrogant Husband: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Storm paced around his office as his team wrapped up a crucial meeting with a major client. The project had been in the works for weeks, and the successful contract signing today felt like a triumph. His satisfaction was short-lived, though, as Erica appeared at his office door, a satisfied smile plastered on her face.“Storm, we did it!” Erica exclaimed, her voice practically ringing with triumph. “It’s a huge win. We should celebrate, don’t you think?”He gave her a polite nod, preoccupied with thoughts of heading home to Scarlett. But Erica persisted, her eyes glinting with excitement.“Come on, Storm,” she coaxed, “just one drink to celebrate. You can’t say no to that.”Storm hesitated, glancing at the clock. Scarlett was probably waiting for him at home, and the last thing he wanted was to give her any reason to worry. But Erica had been instrumental in landing the client, and declining her invitation could come off as ungrateful.“Fine, one drink,” he finally agreed, reaching fo

Scarlett moved quietly in the dim light of the bedroom, careful not to make a sound as she slid clothes from her wardrobe into a small suitcase. Her hands trembled with each item she folded, every familiar piece of fabric a reminder of the life she was leaving behind. Her mind kept replaying the bitter words Storm had thrown at her, his cold demeanor, the look in his eyes that made her feel like she was nothing more than an obligation.She tried to keep herself steady, but a tear slipped down her cheek, followed by another, until the dam broke. Quiet sobs wracked her body as she sat on the edge of the bed, clutching one of her favorite dresses, the one she had worn on their first trip together. Everything in this penthouse reminded her of the hopes she had foolishly clung to, the dreams she had carefully woven around Storm, only to have them unravel before her eyes.As she wiped her eyes and resumed packing, a sharp pain gripped her chest. She clutched at her heart, wincing, the famil

The quiet of the small beachside house was broken by the soft sound of footsteps approaching the door. Scarlett looked up from her notebook, where she had been attempting to write down her thoughts. She hadn’t told anyone yet about her location except for Daniel, who’d promised to keep her secret until she was ready to face the world—or Storm—again. But even here, in this secluded corner of Cape Cod, she felt the world pressing in.A soft knock came at the door, and Scarlett set her notebook aside, crossing the room with a sense of foreboding. She opened it to find Daniel standing on the doorstep, his usual calm demeanor tempered with something more intense.“Daniel?” Her voice was soft, tentative. Seeing him here only reminded her of everything she was trying to escape, but the relief of having a friend close outweighed her hesitance.Daniel nodded, offering a small, reassuring smile. “Thought I’d check in and make sure you’re okay.” He stepped inside, glancing around the modestly fu

The silence in Storm’s villa was thick with tension, hanging like a storm cloud ready to break. Storm stood in front of his grandfather, head bowed as his grandfather’s voice echoed in the large, elegantly furnished sitting room.“Do you even understand what you’ve done?” his grandfather’s voice was sharp, laden with disappointment. “Scarlett left, Storm. Do you even care?”Storm ran a hand through his hair, jaw clenched. He hadn’t expected Scarlett to actually leave. She had always been stubborn, but he thought she’d stick it out. He crossed his arms, trying to keep his voice calm. “She’ll be back, Grandfather. This is… this is just a phase.”“A phase?” his grandfather snapped, slamming his hand onto the table. “That woman has done everything for this family, for you, and you repay her by humiliating her in public! Kissing another woman in a parking lot? What were you thinking, Storm?”Storm’s lips twisted, frustration simmering beneath his calm exterior. “I wasn’t exactly thrilled w

Scarlett took a deep breath, inhaling the cool Swiss mountain air as she strolled through the front yard, trying to quiet her mind. Switzerland had become a refuge, a place where she could focus on healing and be close to her mom, far from Storm and the pain he’d caused. But her tranquility shattered the moment she saw a familiar figure standing at the gate, looking slightly out of place against the lush Swiss backdrop.“Daniel?” Her voice was laced with surprise, quickly followed by a tinge of frustration. “What are you doing here?”Daniel’s face lit up with a hopeful smile as he opened the gate and approached her. “I thought you’d be happy to see me,” he said, his expression softening as he studied her. “After everything you’ve been through, I thought you’d need a friend nearby.”Scarlett took a steadying breath, doing her best to keep her voice calm. “Daniel, I… I came here to get away from everything and everyone. I needed space to clear my head and focus on my mom.”His face fell
