Louis’s POV

The light switched on immediately when I entered , then I heard a voice which scared me.

“You're finally back.”

I turned to look at Isla. She was standing in the middle of the living room, perfectly still, like she had been waiting for hours.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” she said.

Her voice was calm, but there was something underneath it. Something sharp.

I sighed, already exhausted. “It’s been a long day, Isla. I don’t want to…”

“Apparently,” she cut in, taking a slow step toward

  • Countdown To My Revenge Marriage    A kiss to prove love

    Anne-Marie’s POVDinner had ended, but the tension just started If anything, it had thickened like something unseen had settled over the room, weaving itself into every glance, every unfinished sentence, every forced smile.I felt it most when I looked at Isla.She was watching me. As if she had been waiting for this exact moment all night.I set my glass down slowly, pretending not to notice. I had learned long ago that acknowledging people like Isla too quickly only gave them power.But she didn’t need permission.She approached me anyway.“Enjoying yourself?” she asked.Her tone was light, almost playful but her eyes betrayed her.I smiled faintly. “As much as one can at a family negotiation disguised as dinner.”She let out a soft laugh. “That’s one way to describe it.”We stood there for a second, the noise of the room fading into the background. I could feel it that shift. That moment right before something unpleasant reveals itself.“So,” she said, tilting her head, “you’re re

I don’t want to…”“Apparently,” she cut in, taking a slow step toward me, “you had enough energy to chase after your ex-wife.”I froze and rubbed the back of my neck, trying to keep my tone even. “It wasn’t like that.”“It never is with you, is it?” she replied, her lips curling into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “You just happen to be outside when Anne-Marie is there. You just happen to follow her. You just happen to forget you have me.”“That’s not fair.”“Fair?” she echoed, and this time she laughed but it was hollow. “You want to talk about fair, Louis

  • Countdown To My Revenge Marriage    Trying new strategies

    Anne-Marie’s POV I had been awake since the small hours, long before the large bell struck 7AM . My laptop screen was the only real light, a cold blue square in the darkness of the living room, illuminating stacks of invoices, old contracts, and the half-finished rebranding proposals I could no longer bear to read.I was still trying to work on what was remaining of Duval scents. I would have long forgotten it but it carried my father's memories. It was his dream that Louis crashed in one night.My father’s name still carried weight in certain circles in Grasse and Paris, but weight alone did not pay the rent on the boutique or the salaries of the few loyal perfumers who remained. Louis, my ex-husband, the man I once believed loved me more than ambition had taken his pound of flesh in the divorce settlement. Half the distribution network, the most lucrative Middle Eastern contracts, the modern packaging facility outside Lyon. What remained was the original name, the historic recipes

    Anne Marie's POV“I think you should brace up and go with the marriage. After all, he knows it's for business.”“ I don't trust them”“Obviously you shouldn't. Let's sit for a moment…the weather is pretty hot.” Leon advised.I sat on the weathered park bench, the late afternoon sun filtering through the canopy of oak leaves above us. Leonard was beside me, his enthusiasm, even though my mind was elsewhere tangled in the web of decisions I'd made recently.My phone buzzed in my pocket, shattering the moment. I pulled it out, glancing at the screen. Eric's name flashed across it, and a familiar knot tightened in my stomach. Leonard noticed my hesitation. "Everything okay?" he asked, his brow furrowing."Yeah, just... work stuff," I lied, swiping to answer. "Hello?""Anne-Marie," Eric's voice came through, smooth and insistent as always. "I need to see you. Now. There's a restaurant nearby—Le Petit Bistro on Rue de la Paix. Meet me there in fifteen minutes."I glanced at Leonard, who was

  • Countdown To My Revenge Marriage    Missing my child

    Anne-Marie’s POV I had sneaked out after the meeting, quietly. No one noticed. No one ever noticed when I left anymore so I wasn't bothered.The park was just across the street, wrapped in the golden hush of evening. Children’s laughter floated in the air, fragile and bright and that was what I needed to feel better. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions. I nearly broke down seeing Louis earlier today and everything he said to me made me so emotional.I sat on the old wooden bench beneath the crooked elm tree, the same tree where I used to sit when I was a young teenage girl . Back when my heart still understood the meaning of joie de vivre. Back when my world was not carved hollow and I was slowly growing emotionless. Back when I had the love and care I wanted without getting to feel that I was asking for so much.I watched the children run.Their mothers called after them, their voices full of warmth and annoyance and love. It was a symphony I no longer belonged to or there was no

  • Countdown To My Revenge Marriage    Shared by two brothers

    Louis’s POVÈric picked up the files that were in front of him as he got up to leave the room. He was about to leave when I called out to him,“Eric.” I sounded polite and desperate but I didn't care.He paused near the door and turned to look directly at me. Of course he did. Eric always knew when he was being addressed, even before the sound fully reached him. He turned slowly, expression neutral, perfectly composed.“What is it?” Eric asked.I quickly closed the distance between us. “Why are you doing this?”Eric frowned, as though genuinely confused. “I don’t understand the question.”That calm yet so deliberate, controlled gaze set my nerves on edge.I had grown up with it, learned to recognize it as a warning “Don’t insult me,” I said. “What did you have with Anne-Marie?”Eric’s eyes hardened. “That’s not your business.”I let out a short, incredulous laugh. “Not my business?” my voice lowered. “She’s my wife.”Eric did not hesitate. “She is your ex-wife.”The word landed clean
