Masuk"You want a divorce?" His voice was ice, sending a chill down her spine. "You'll never get it." For three years, Bellatrix devoted herself to Cillian Laurent—Miami’s ruthless tycoon and her indifferent husband—hoping to earn his love. But when she’s diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she realizes the bitter truth: she was never his choice. Just a placeholder for the woman who abandoned him… and has now returned. Determined to reclaim her life, Bellatrix demands a divorce. But the man who once ignored her now refuses to let her go. As buried secrets unravel, she discovers their twisted marriage was never what it seemed. Can she break free from a love that was never hers? Or will his obsession destroy them both?

He couldn't move a muscle without it hurting him.That's when Cillian and Bellatrix discovered he was a cry baby.Any little thing would make him wail and cry.And if it wasn't a little thing, then he was being stubborn and refusing to take his medicine.That was a tough period.But they managed and soon, it was a distant memory.Cillian and Bellatrix spent that one month, making up for lost time.They did everything together.From grocery shopping to bathing Charlie, they did it all together.Elise and her father were also always around.Joel was doing a lot better and had even begun using a cane instead of his wheelchair.Charlie loved hanging out with them and they did a good job of spoiling him rotten.But no one could compete with his mother and father when it
The day that followed were spent preparing for Charlie's long Awaited surgery. On the night before the surgery, Bellatrix stood beside Charlie's bed, with Cillian at her side.They both stared down at him with gazes of adoring parents.After a while, Cillian broke the silence."He's a strong kid."Bellatrix nodded in agreement, her hands coming up to hug herself."He is."Cillian noticed the action, but chose not to comment on it."Bella, he'll be fine." He reassured, taking her hand in his.Her eyes flickered to him and for a moment, she looked like she wanted to pull her hand away, but ultimately didn't."I know," she finally managed. "But, I can't help feeling nervous. What if something goes wrong?""Then we'll find a solution. As long as he's alive, we can find a solution."Those words weren't directed to her, but rather to himself.He needed reassurance. He was just as worried as her.Bellatrix sensed that, and she couldn't help the smile that spread across her features."We've b
The clouds wept.As if to celebrate their reconciliation, the moment Bellatrix and Cillian returned to the main house, it started raining.They joined Elise and Joel in the tearoom, just as discussed earlier, for tea. And by the time they were wrapping up, it was still raining.So, after exchanging glances, one which Bellatrix didn't fail to notice between Elise and her father, the former suggested.“Cillian, it looks like it's going to be raining for a while. Why don't you tough it out here?”Bellatrix nearly choked on her tea. That was the most shameless method of telling someone to stay over for the night.And here her mother was, SHAMELESSLY doing it.“Ellie is right,” her father joined in. His inclusion made her completely ignore the nickname she promised to tease them all about one of these days. “It's raining cats and dogs out there, it would be hard to get home like this. Stay in the guest room.”“Dad–” she wanted to object, then her father added.“Charlie would feel at ease t
The soft atmosphere of the garden pressed down on Bellatrix's chest as she walked in.Behind her, Cillian trailed like a loyal puppy, the heat of his stare causing her stomach to stir.At last, she stopped in the center of the garden, sheltered from the sun creeping in by a cherry blossom tree, and turned to face him.“What you must have to say must be pretty important for you to stare so hard. Wanna burn a hole straight through me?”His lips quirked upwards, a faint smile polishing his features.“I apologize–”“Stop apologizing. It makes me feel like I'm bullying you all the time,” she muttered and released a heavy sigh.A second of silence stretched between them before she turned around, scanning the garden as she spoke.“You don't actually have anything to say, do you?”Cillian tensed behind her, briefly, then he smiled softly. He wouldn't put it past her to notice.“Father and mother's conspiracy?” She threw a glance over her shoulder and was met with a smile that answered her que
Bellatrix’s heart lurched the moment her palm pressed against Charlie’s forehead.His temperature nearly matched that of the sun and the heat shot panic straight into her chest.“L-lee baby?” she whispered, shifting closer to him and shaking his shoulder ligh
Damien sat in the dark of his office, rhythmically tapping his fingers against his table as if waiting for something to happen. So it came as no surprise to him when three knocks sounded across his door and his assistant peaked his head through."Sir," he called out carefully, taking one c
The sound of Damien’s office door slamming behind Bellatrix filled the hallway as she stormed out of Ave.Getting into her car, she pulled out her phone and dialed Nathan's number.“Ms. Bellatrix,” the assistant greeted, cherry as always.“Nathan, I ne
The night went by in a blur. The hours ticked by slowly, yet somehow, they flew by fast.Bellatrix had spent most of the night staring up at the ceiling, watching the clock, her thoughts filled with the possibilities and risks that could come with the arrangement she'd made with Cillian.
