The Wife He Never Meant to Love (Lila and Damon) novel Chapter 82

:

The days that followed became increasingly difficult for Lila.

She refused to give up.

Every morning she dressed carefully, gathered her documents, and visited another law office somewhere in Bellair City. Each time she explained her situation calmly, presenting the evidence she had collected.

And each time, the answer was the same.

Polite.

Professional.

Final.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Blackthorne. We cannot take this case.”

Some lawyers avoided meeting her eyes. Others offered vague excuses about “conflicts of interest” or “existing commitments.” A few simply shook their heads the moment they heard Damon Blackthorne’s name.

By the end of the week, Lila understood the truth.

No one in the city wanted to stand against Damon.

Still, she refused to stop trying.

Meanwhile, high above the city in a luxurious penthouse, Maddy poured herself a drink while staring out at the skyline.

The door behind her opened quietly.

Jasper stepped inside.

Maddy turned with a small smile. “You’re late.”

Jasper didn’t return the smile. Instead, he walked slowly toward the bar.

“I heard something interesting today,” he said casually.

Maddy leaned against the counter. “Oh?”

“Lila and Damon,” Jasper said, picking up a glass. “They’re divorcing.”

Maddy let out a soft laugh.

“Apparently Lila already filed in court,” Jasper continued.

“Yeah,” Maddy replied, swirling the drink in her glass. “I heard about that too. I guess it’s real this time.”

Jasper studied her quietly.

Then he reached into the cabinet, poured another drink, and handed it to her.

“Drink this,” he said.

Maddy didn’t notice anything strange in his tone.

She took the glass without hesitation and drank it in a few quick swallows.

When she finished, she placed the empty glass back on the counter.

Jasper stood up.

For a moment he simply looked at her.

Then he turned toward the door.

“It ends here,” he said flatly.

And he walked out.

Maddy frowned slightly.

She didn’t understand what he meant.

Not yet.

Hours later, the quiet of the penthouse was broken by a sharp pain.

Maddy woke up on the couch, her body suddenly trembling.

Her hand instinctively pressed against her abdomen.

The pain grew stronger.

Confusion slowly turned into dread.

Her breathing became uneven as realization hit her.

Jasper hadn’t come to visit her.

He had come to end things.

Not just their relationship-

But the child she was carrying.

And in that moment, Maddy finally understood.

Jasper had decided to discard her.

Both her-

and their unborn child.

Maddy woke to the harsh white lights of the hospital room.

Chers

Her head felt heavy, and the faint smell of antiseptic filled the air. Machines beeped softly nearby, steady and indifferent.

For a moment she couldn’t remember what had happened.

Then the pain in her abdomen returned-not sharp anymore, but hollow.

Her hand moved slowly to her stomach.

And suddenly everything came rushing back.

The drink.

Jasper leaving.

The unbearable pain afterward.

The doctor’s quiet voice earlier that morning.

The child did not survive.

Tears streamed down her face before she could stop them.

The door opened.

Damon walked in.

He stood near the bed, tall and composed as always, his expression unreadable.

The moment Maddy saw him, her emotions burst free.

“Damon…” she cried weakly.

Her voice trembled as she tried to sit up.

“I-I didn’t mean-”

She struggled to explain, words tripping over each other as if excuses could somehow fix what had happened.

But Damon didn’t move.

He simply stared at her.

Cold.

Unmoved.

Maddy slowly reached her hand toward him.

“Damon…”

“What are you grieving for, Maddy?”

His voice cut through the room like ice.

Maddy blinked.

“You drank that medicine yourself,” Damon continued flatly. “And now you’re playing the grieving mother.”

Her eyes widened in confusion.

“What?”

“The doctor said you ingested medication,” Damon said calmly.

Maddy shook her head frantically.

“No-I didn’t.”

Damon’s expression didn’t change.

“Then who forced you?” he asked. “You were alone.”

The words left Maddy speechless.

She had no answer.

Desperation overtook her.

She climbed out of the hospital bed despite the weakness in her body and rushed toward Damon, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

“Please, Damon,” she begged. “Don’t think like that. I would never hurt my child.”

At that exact moment-

The door opened.

Lila stepped inside.

And froze.

Her eyes landed immediately on the scene in front of her.

Maddy clinging to Damon.

The hospital room.

The silence.

For a moment, the air turned painfully still

Then I ila let out a quiet smirk.

“So this is where my husband is,” she said slowly.

Her voice carried sharp amusement.

“Busy with another woman while I’ve been begging him to sign divorce papers.”

Damon closed his eyes briefly.

But before he could say anything-

Maddy suddenly shouted.

“Yes, Lila!” she cried.

Both Damon and Lila looked at her.

“Damon and I slept together!” Maddy continued hysterically. “And now our child is dead because of you!”

“Maddy.”

Damon’s voice came out low and dangerous.

A warning.

The way he said her name made the room fall silent.

Maddy froze.

The tone in Damon’s voice was something she had never heard directed at her before.

Cold.

Sharp.

And filled with something far more terrifying than anger.

News traveled fast in Bellair City.

Within days, every gossip column and private dinner conversation carried the same story-Maddy’s miscarriage… and the claim that the child had belonged to Damon Blackthorne.

Rumors grew louder with every retelling.

Yet Damon did nothing to stop them.

He never denied them.

Never confirmed them.

He simply let the city talk.

For the next few days, Lila changed.

Completely.

The quiet, composed wife everyone knew seemed to disappear. In her place was a woman who no longer cared about appearances.

A woman determined to make Damon’s life difficult.

If Damon attended a party, Lila would appear.

If Damon sat beside another woman, Lila would appear.

And every time she saw a woman too close to him, chaos followed.

One night at a crowded bar filled with Bellair City’s elite, the scene finally exploded.

A young escort had been sitting beside Damon, laughing softly at something he said.

The next moment—

Lila grabbed the woman by the arm and dragged her off the chair.

The woman fell hard onto the floor as Lila pulled her across the polished surface.

Gasps filled the room.

But Damon remained seated.

Completely calm.

He lifted his glass slowly and took a sip before speaking.

“I told you,” Damon said in a cool, almost lazy tone, “my wife doesn’t like seeing me with other women.”

The escort quickly scrambled away, humiliated and frightened.

Lila stood there breathing heavily.

But Damon only watched her with quiet amusement.

All the chaos she created didn’t anger him.

If anything-

He seemed entertained

:

“Well,” Damon said after a moment, rising from his chair. “I rather like this new character”

Lila glared at him.

“My lovely jealous wife.” Damon added lightly.

Then, in front of everyone watching, he took her hand and kissed it slowly.

The room fell silent.

The situation grew even stranger.

Whenever a man tried to approach Lila-whether out of curiosity or sympathy-they were quickly met with Damon’s cold and terrifying attention.

A single look from him was usually enough to make them back away.

Once, a businessman tried to flirt with her at a private lounge.

Damon had him escorted out within minutes.

It didn’t take long for people to understand the message.

No one could touch Lila.

Not while Damon was watching.

That night, after another tense evening at the bar, Lila finally snapped.

She grabbed Damon by the arm and dragged him outside.

Damon allowed it.

Without resistance.

She pushed him into the passenger seat of his car and got behind the wheel herself.

The engine roared to life as she drove through the quiet roads leading back to the Blackthorne villa.

Damon leaned back comfortably in his seat, watching her with interest.

Streetlights passed across her tense face as she focused on the road.

After a while, Damon spoke.

“Let’s be crazy together, Lila.”

His voice was calm, but something darker lingered beneath it.

Lila didn’t answe

She simply kept driving.

Exhaustion weighed on her shoulders.

All her attempts to provoke him… to push him into anger… had failed.

Instead of breaking Damon’s patience—

It seemed like he was enjoying every moment of it.

And that realization made her feel more trapped than ever.
