Damon, once mocked and underestimated by his rich in-laws, had always been treated like a burden by his wife, Serena. But everything changed when he discovered her affair, shattering their already broken marriage. At that moment, Serena told him she wanted a divorce. What she didn’t know was that Damon wasn’t who she thought he was. Beneath the failure and neglect, he was actually the powerful chairman of Vespera Corporation, secretly helping her company. As he signed the divorce papers, he walked away, knowing this was just the start—and Serena had no idea she’d already lost.

    Chapter 1

    "You disgust me."Damon glared at the woman standing before him—his wife, Serena, his voice cold. His fists clenched, his jaw tight with anger. The woman he had once loved and cherished, now looking at him with cold indifference.Across from him, Serena crossed her arms, her expression unreadable. "Lower your voice, Damon," she said, sounding annoyed rather than guilty. "There's no need for this drama.""No need?" Damon's voice was sharp with disbelief. "I just caught my wife cheating, and you expect me to stay calm?" He stepped closer, his eyes burning into hers. "How long, Serena? How long have you been making a fool out of me?"Just moments ago, Damon had received photos from his subordinate, Anthony. Pictures of Serena and another man entering a hotel room—intimate, undeniable proof of her betrayal. He had trusted her completely, never once imagining he'd see her like that with another man.But now, she wasn't even denying it.Serena sighed, as if bored with the conversation alr

    Damon stepped into the sleek black car, his face cold and unreadable. Just as the driver pulled onto the road, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen—it was Anthony, the CEO of Vespera Corporation and one of his most trusted men. Damon answered the call, his voice calm but distant."Sir, should we terminate the collaboration with Ms. Serena?" Anthony’s voice was steady, but Damon knew he was waiting for his reaction. He already knew what had happened. For a moment, Damon considered it. It would be the easiest way to show Serena what she had truly lost. Cutting off her company would be simple—like snapping a branch with his fingers. Without his silent support, she wouldn’t last long in this industry.His grip on the phone tightened slightly, but then he let out a slow breath. "No need," he said flatly.There was no point in wasting his energy on revenge. She had already taken enough from him—his time, his patience, his trust. He wouldn’t give her another second of his life. Besid

    "His belongings are as worthless as he is," Serena muttered under her breath, flinging another shirt into the trash bag.The apartment was eerily quiet without Damon’s presence, but her mind was anything but calm. Her hands worked furiously, grabbing every trace of him—his clothes, his cologne bottle, even the stupid coffee mug he had insisted on bringing from his old apartment. Every item, every memory, she tossed away with rough, jerky movements.Then her fingers brushed against something cold.She stilled.It was a ring.Serena frowned, picking it up between her fingers. It wasn’t just any ring. It was familiar. The delicate patterns, the design—It was identical to the one she had taken years ago from Celia!Her breath caught in her throat.She swallowed hard, her mind suddenly yanked into the past.Celia.They had been best friends, inseparable during their school days. Matching clothes, inside jokes that no one else understood. But time had changed everything. Celia’s family ha

    Damon stood still, his sharp eyes locked onto Tessa. She smirked in satisfaction, her gaze filled with arrogance. Around them, whispers floated through the air. But Damon wasn’t interested in giving Tessa the reaction she wanted. He had no intention of arguing with her. He simply reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number.The call barely rang before a voice answered.“Hello, Boss?” Anthony’s voice carried a hint of surprise as if he hadn’t expected a call from Damon at this moment.Damon’s tone was cold. “ I’m outside Luxea. But the staff seem to think I'm not qualified to enter.“There was a brief pause. Then Anthony’s voice came back, now laced with panic. “Who dared to stop you! I’ll handle it immediately!”Before Damon could respond, Tessa let out a loud, exaggerated laugh.Heads turned. The sound of her laughter echoed, drawing more attention to the scene.“Oh, are you calling for help, Damon?” she mocked, crossing her arms as she shook her head. “Are y

    “Yes, Serena! Why would I lie? Do something now!Talk to Michael. Tell him to talk to the manager. I’m not standing out here like some beggar! This is humiliating! My future son-in-law is a platinum member of this restaurant—I have every right to be inside!” Tessa shouted.“Mom, I’ll tell him right away. We’ll get you inside, and they’ll regret treating you like this. Just wait a few minutes,” Serena said before ending the call, her voice filled with anger.She slammed her glass down, startling Michael, who sat across from her. “Damon followed me here. I knew it. That leech doesn’t know when to give up! And my mother is stuck outside now because of him. God damn knows what trick he used!”Michael raised a brow, his voice calm but laced with arrogance. “Don’t worry. The manager here, Vincent, is a friend. I’ll get your mother in. And that bastard? We’ll deal with him later.”Serena felt a small spark of satisfaction. Michael won’t let this go. They’ll regret it.Michael pulled out his p

    Damon nodded, his gaze sweeping the room before landing on Simon. “Simon,” he said, his voice calm but full of authority. “I hope you have something worth my time.” Simon stood with a faint smile on his lips. “Always a pleasure. Please, sit. I've gathered new information about your mother's death.It's not much, but it's... significant.” Damon walked to the table, his movements slow and controlled. He sat down, his sharp eyes locked on Simon. “Talk.” Simon leaned in, speaking quietly. “ Two days before the accident happened to your mom, she got a call from someone flagged in a database—an ex-military guy with ties to a security firm. The call was erased from her phone records, but I managed to get a trace from the telecom company.” Damon’s hands clenched on the table. “Who did this?” “I don’t have a name yet, but it leads to a fake company—Tarnex Holdings. It’s a cover, and it’s linked to someone powerful enough to hide everything.” Damon’s voice turned cold. “I want everything

    Serena laughed. “Yeah, right.”“There you go again, lying.”Damon’s smile was icy, his tone mocking. “Believe what you want.”Michael took a step back before bursting into loud, mocking laughter. “Damon, are you serious? This has to be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! You’re the guest they’re entertaining? The CEO of Vespera Corporation and Simon Scott, the big shots, are actually giving attention to someone like you? Someone worthless and poor?”The crowd surrounding them chuckled, some whispering to each other while others openly laughed. It was like they were watching a comedy show, and Damon was the main act.Michael crossed his arms. “You think just walking in here with confidence makes you important? Come on. You probably tricked your way in—still chasing after Serena, trying to impress her with that smug face.”Serena scoffed, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “He always does this. Acts like he’s important, and talks big, but deep down, he’s nothing. A nobody. It’s pathet

    Celia looked completely stunned. “Ring? What ring?” She stood frozen, Serena’s furious accusations ringing in her ears.A ring? The one Serena claimed to have taken from her house?Celia blinked.Memories suddenly came back. She did lose a ring years ago. A simple, unremarkable band, but it had meant something to her. She had searched for it back then but eventually gave up, thinking it was gone forever.But now… Serena was saying she had taken it?Before Celia could say a word, the entire atmosphere in the restaurant shifted.The sound of the elevator doors opening drew everyone’s attention.A tall, commanding man stepped out, surrounded by bodyguards. He moved with purpose, his presence commanding respect without saying a word.His sharp suit was perfectly tailored, and his expression was unreadable, his gaze sweeping the room like he owned it.Anthony Williams.CEO of Vespera Corporation.This wasn’t a man you approached lightly.The name alone made people sit straighter.Gasps ri

    The room went still. Gasps echoed from every direction. Every head turned toward the voice.It was Damon.He stepped forward, his expression unreadable, but his presence impossible to ignore. Damon stepped forward from behind Michael and Serena. His face was unreadable.His gaze locked onto Serena, sharp and lethal.Serena’s confidence did not waver. If anything, she looked even more irritated.“Damon,” she hissed, her voice sharp with anger.“I’m telling you now, get your miserable and bitter soul out of here. Mr. Williams isn’t someone you can act foolishly in front of.”Michael sneered, crossing his arms. “She’s right. If you don’t leave now, you’ll find yourself in trouble. If you disturb Mr. Williams any further, I’ll personally have you arrested. You can’t just interrupt him and expect to get away with it.”Anthony was stunned when he saw Damon appear behind Serena and he smirked, as he finally understood exactly what was happening and Damon's intentions.Damon’s gaze remained

    Before she could say anything more, a sharp smack landed against her cheek. Then another. And another. She stumbled backward, pain blooming across her face. Her breath hitched, tears forming in her eyes as the sting deepened.Michael suffered the same fate. He barely had time to react before a hand struck him hard across the face. His head snapped to the side, a gasp of pain escaping him. Another slap followed. Then another. His vision blurred as his mind struggled to catch up with what was happening.Serena’s voice shook as she pressed her hand against her bruised cheek. "P-please… stop this!" she pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper.Michael, his lip split and bleeding, managed to gasp between the hits. "We didn’t— We didn’t do anything wrong! We're just trying to tell you the truth about him!" His words were cut off by another brutal hit.Serena's vision blurred with each slap, her body burning with pain. Her cheek felt as if it were on fire, swollen and throbbing. Slap! Anoth
