Get him to marry you again
The car ride home was quiet. Eleanor sat in the back seat. Her hands gripped her cane. Her jaw was tight. Her eyes stared out the window but she did not see anything. She was too angry. No one had ever thrown her out like that. No one had ever looked at her with such coldness. No one had ever made her feel so small. And it was Damien. The same Damien she used to order around like a servant. The same Damien she told to sit in the back at family dinners. The same Damien she called "that boy" like he was not even a real person. Now he was sitting in a big office. Wearing an expensive suit. Ordering security to throw her out. The humiliation burned inside her chest like fire. She thought about Serena. Her own granddaughter. The girl had known. She had gone to that ball. She had seen Damien in that chair. And she had said nothing. She had lied to Eleanor's face. "He will pay," Eleanor whispered again. When the car stopped in front of the Wicker mansion, Eleanor did not wait for
I will make you regret this
Eleanor sat down. She looked at the clock.9:00 AM.She waited.9:30. No one came.10:00. Still no one.10:30.11:00.Eleanor was getting very angry. She had never been made to wait this long. Not ever.She stood up and walked to the front desk."How much longer?" she asked. Her voice was sharp."I am not sure, ma'am. The young master is very busy.""This is ridiculous," Eleanor said. "Do you know who I am?"The young woman looked uncomfortable. "Yes, ma'am. I am sorry for the delay."Eleanor sat back down. She tapped her foot.11:30.12:00.At 12:30, a man finally came out. He was tall. He wore a nice suit."I am Carlton," he said. "The young master's assistant.""Where is the Ashford heir?" Eleanor asked. Her voice was cold now. "Why is he keeping me waiting for three and a half hours?""The young master is in a meeting," Carlton said. "He will see you when he is free.""A meeting? For three hours?""Yes, ma'am."Eleanor's face turned red. "This is insulting. I am Eleanor Wicker. Yo
Let her wait
Total silence fell on the entire hall. all eyes were on Damien. Serena could not mkve, she was rooted to the spot."Serena, say something." Adrian said, grabbing her arm.but she could not speak.Damien sat in the Ashford chair like he belonged there. His guards stood behind him. He looked at Adrian.Adrian stepped forward. His face was red. "This is fake," Adrian said loudly. "All of this is fake."People turned to look at him.Adrian pointed at Damien. "That man is crazy. He was in a hospital. He beat his wife. He beat me too. He should be locked up, not sitting there."The butler looked at Adrian. His face did not change. "Do you have proof?" the butler asked."Proof?" Adrian laughed. "yes. we have all his medical reports."The butler reached into his jacket. He pulled out a folder. It was thick."Would you like to see my proof?" the butler asked.He opened the folder. Papers fell out. Photos. Legal papers. Birth records. A letter with the Ashford family seal on it.The butler held
what is happening
At 8 PM, a black car pulled up outside.Adrian got out. He wore a new suit. He looked good. He walked to the front door like he owned the place.Serena opened the door. Her red gown caught the light. Her diamonds sparkled.Adrian smiled. "You look beautiful.""I know."He held out his arm. She took it.They walked through the living room. Eleanor sat by the fire. She did not look up."Good evening, Grandmother," Adrian said.Eleanor said nothing.Adrian's smile faded. "Is something wrong?""She is in a bad mood," Serena said. "Do not worry about her."Eleanor looked up. Her eyes moved over Adrian like he was nothing."Enjoy the ball," she said.Then she looked back at the fire.In the car, Adrian frowned. "What was that about?"Serena fixed her dress. "Nothing. She is just old.""She used to be nice to me.""She used to think you were useful." Serena looked out the window. "Things change."Adrian was quiet for a moment. Then he let it go."Tonight is important," he said. "The Ashford
Adrian is useless
Three months had passed.Serena sat in the living room of the Wicker mansion. Her red gown hung upstairs. Her diamonds sat on the dresser. She was almost ready to leave.She smiled to herself.Tonight was important. The Ashford family had found their lost heir. They would show him to the world at the charity ball.Serena needed him.Wicker Dynamics was dying. The stock kept falling. Nothing she did helped. The board was angry. Investors were pulling out.She thought Adrian would fix things. That was the deal. She would marry Damien. She and Adrian would take the company. Adrian would run it. She would take the money.But Adrian could not do it.He made promises. He talked big. But when the numbers went down, he had no answers. Just excuses.The company needed Damien. Serena hated to think about it. But it was true. Damien built the company. Damien knew the business. Damien kept everything running.And she had put him in a hospital.She pushed the thought away. It did not matter now. D
Welcome home young master
Damien woke slowly. For a moment, he did not know where he was.The bed beneath him was soft. Too soft. The blanket covering his body smelled clean. Fresh. Warm air drifted through the room, carrying the faint scent of expensive wood and coffee.His eyes opened fully.A large chandelier hung from the ceiling above him. Dark gold curtains covered tall windows. The room itself looked bigger than his entire apartment with Serena.Then the memories came back. The hospital. His parents. The blood. The fire.Damien sat up too quickly and grabbed his chest. Pain shot through his body immediately. His muscles still ached from walking all night. Bruises covered his arms.The earring.His breathing became uneven as he searched around the bed desperately.The door suddenly opened.The older man from last night walked in carrying a tray of food. He quickly placed it down when he saw Damien awake."Young master, please do not stand up too fast."Damien stared at him coldly. "Where am I?"The older
