Tatiana rested in Xander’s arms, her body moulded against his, yet her eyes stared blankly ahead.

A sudden whiteness seemed to engulf them, a quiet, almost sterile light that made the world feel distant.

She wasn’t asleep, nor was she looking at him—there was a silent somberness that radiated from her like an aura.

Xander could sense it immediately. The tension, the thoughts spiralling beneath her calm exterior—it was as if her mind was shouting in silence.

She wasn’t the only one thinking; he felt the weight of her worry pressing against his chest. The contract ended today, and after today, their marriage would too.

Her thoughts were clear, piercingly so, yet he leaned closer, his voice a soft caress against her ear.

“Sulking?” The warmth of his breath wasn’t comforting this time—it only made the emptiness more obvious to him.

“It’s nothing,” she murmured, her voice fragile and brittle.

“It’s something. You are cursing me in your head. My body is twitching from it.”

  • A Wife For Seven Days    Chapter 202

    Xander stepped out of the car and went straight for the doors.His head throbbed. His chest still felt tight from the hospital, from the questions burning holes through his skull, from the name Damian echoing where it didn’t belong.He was halfway up the steps when a voice cut through the air behind him.“Alexander.”His stride halted.When he turned, the sight that waited for him made his jaw tighten.Ingrid, Noah and Jacob—among the few people who shouldn’t be here without their niece—Tony and Cassandra.They weren’t here for him.Xander knew that instantly.They were here to inspect damage.And his uncle didn’t spare a minute.“I heard you collapsed,” he said, not even pretending to sound concerned. “Honestly, Alexander… if you can’t handle something as simple as a company, you were never born to sit in that chair to begin with.”The words landed deliberately.A test.Xander’s lips curved.This was not the time for Noah’s mockery. He expected it, but he didn’t need that now.Xander

    Damian stepped out of his room just in time to see Tatiana on the front steps, waving as the children’s car turned out of the compound. Her smile glowed—light, warm, soft. Then the car vanished. And so did the smile. It slipped off her face like a mask falling free, leaving nothing behind but blank coldness. Damian froze in the hallway. Something inside him tightened. He watched her turn toward the house, movements graceful but unsettling—like someone walking out of a dream and straight into a storm. His pulse thudded hard. It was the same feeling he had the night she nearly died. The same dread from that operating room. The fear of loosing her. Tatiana crossed the threshold. The door shut behind her with a heavy thud that echoed across the hall. Damian swallowed. Liam stood near the couch, posture rigid, silent. Bit he could feel the chill from the way she took her steps. Tatiana walked to the couch and sat like a judge waiting for the defendant to prove his innocen

    Liam stood rigid, eyes locked on the screen of Damian’s phone.The faint glow washed across his face, carving every line into something cold and unreadable.Damian paced the room, fingers dragging through his hair, breath shaking as the pressure rose and spilled over.“What now?” he burst out, voice cracking. “Things are going out of hand, Liam. Completely out of hand.”His hands trembled as he spoke.Liam didn’t look away from the screen.“Calm yourself.”Damian whirled.“Don’t tell me to calm down!” His voice pitched higher—panicked, afraid. “My career is at stake! I should expect the police at my door tomorrow morning—if not now!”The words came out like steam from a boiling kettle.Liam finally lifted his head.Before Damian could launch into another spiral, Liam picked up his phone.“What are you doing?” Damian demanded.“I’m stopping your agitation,” Liam replied, tone unnervingly calm.He turned away slightly, placing the call.Damian watched, pulse racing, as he heard Liam’s l

  • A Wife For Seven Days    Chapter 199

    The car rolled through the gates just after dusk, its headlights washing briefly over the stone façade before cutting out. The mansion loomed ahead—too quiet, too pristine, too much as it did not belong to them. Cassandra stepped out first. Her heels struck the tiled driveway with sharp, impatient clicks. The air felt wrong. Thinner somehow. As if the walls themselves had been waiting to watch her return in defeat. Tony followed, slower, already tired, already bracing. Inside, the doors closed with a muted click. “Bring me something strong,” Cassandra snapped immediately, not even turning her head to the maids “Now!” The nearest maid startled and hurried away. Cassandra peeled off her gloves with violent precision, tossing them onto the console table like discarded skin. Her breathing was uneven—rage restrained only by exhaustion and pride. “Did you see her?” Cassandra burst out. “Did you see the way that Evelyn looked at me? As if I was… as if I was nothing.” Tony

  • A Wife For Seven Days    Chapter 198

    Xander’s eyes went wide, jaw tight. The words echoed inside him, bouncing off every thought he had ever held about Tatiana, her past, and now… the shocking connection. Damian… Evelyn’s brother-in-law… the doctor… The possibility slammed into him, sharp and cold: what if Evelyn… was Tatiana? Heat surged through his chest. Panic clawed at him. His legs wobbled, knees threatening to buckle. “Xander!” David’s voice cut through the haze. He moved instantly, sliding behind Xander to steady him, one arm around his waist, the other gripping his arm. “I… I need…” Xander’s voice was rough, ragged, barely a whisper, “I need… I need her records. Tatiana’s death certificate… everything from that day…” David froze, concern darkening his eyes. “Xander… what are you thinking?” “Let me… let me see it all. I need to know why Damian Ratford was the doctor that day and why I needed his authorization before I could access Tatiana's records. Why… why Evelyn… has the same face as Tatiana.” H

  • A Wife For Seven Days    Chapter 197

    "Mr. Michelle, this is...." Adrian didn’t finish the sentence before Xander snatched the file from him. The first thing he saw was Tatiana’s photograph. The same face he had memorized. The same eyes he had lost. The same woman whose name still twisted every rib inside him. His heart hit hard. Pain sharpened, fierce enough to make him shut the file for a moment. David’s hand rubbed his shoulder again, steadying him. After a breath, Xander opened the file again. He scanned swiftly—logo, dates, admission details, injuries, notes. Then… the last page. His eyes froze. And he let out a soft, disbelieving, irritated, angry laugh. There it was. The name printed boldly at the bottom. “Dr. Damian Ratford.” ******* Tatiana’s car rolled through the iron gates of the mansion in silence. The guards opened them quickly, too quickly, as if they sensed something fragile had entered with her. The tires crunched softly against the gravel driveway, the sound too loud in her ears. Whe
