ALEXANDER

By midday, I had Elowen settled with her samples and notes in a quieter corner, away from the hum of the main office.

I allowed myself to finally breathe, letting my gaze linger on her just long enough to feel the pull without making her panic.

But, it seems like fate is too cruel to both of us, because then came the whisper again…

“So it’s true… the director’s toy is leading the meeting?” Some anonymous comments from passing employees.

“Yes! I wonder what she did to the director! Black magic perhaps…” Their words faded then, as they passed but the damage was done— again.

I froze… My instincts screamed, my protective reflexes triggered immediately as I tracked her reaction.

Her cheeks paling, fists clenching, eyes closed.

This reminded me of the early situation which had her storm away from me. Now again the same thing. Previously, I had the footage but it was quite clear who said it, therefore, this time I moved faster than conscious thought.

But before I could— I w

    ELOWEN My breath hitched, so sharply that it hurt.I didn’t scream. I didn’t turn. I didn’t even blink. When I wanted to do them all. Thanks to my years of survival, I had taught myself how to keep my reaction internal, locked behind a carefully trained mask.But my pulse betrayed me, hammering wildly as heat rushed through my veins. Enough for Alexander to know just how badly he affects me.F**k! I hate him for that!I felt him before I saw him— standing too close, right beside me. I swallowed hard. I have dangers on both sides now. My so-called fiancee on the right and ‘the man I left yet couldn't forget’ on my left. Damn it! I am trapped!His presence is intentional, intrusive, and intimate. When I finally dared to glance sideways, I caught only a reflection in a mirrored pillar behind us.Tall. Impeccably dressed in a dark tuxedo. His familiar gaze fixed on me with a hunger that didn’t bother hiding itself.“You shouldn’t be here,” I whispered, my lips barely moving.His refle

    ELOWEN “If I want something, I don’t rush. I bend the world for it to come to me.”— this was what he had said to me once, and now, he's proving that he wasn’t just bluffing at all.Alexander is in Italy, cornering my breath to be questioned, and the worst part— wherever I go, I could feel his eyes on me, and that sends chills down my spine.Even in my sleep I stirred wake a few times, thinking he was watching. Am I being a psycho? Paranoid? Probably! But that arshole! I want to kill him! I wish I could..."Miss Corvella?" A deep Baritone broke my thoughts, startling me inwardly.I glanced up, only to see Abraham Rizzo watching me with a raised brow, eyes full of cold curiosity."You're okay?" He asked. Not sure if he meant it though. He looked more suspicious than concerned. "I—" I swallowed hard and then nodded, "yes," forcing a small smile at the corner of my lips. "I'm fine."He watched me for a few more seconds and then nodded, "alright." Then he turned to a man, "here, this

  • I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!   119. The Claim

    ALEXANDER The words were not loud. They did not need to be. They just landed, cold and final.Her eyes widened a fraction. The friend shifted uncomfortably, suddenly aware that this was not a game she knew how to play.I straightened and pulled myself back. “And the woman I have— can't be compared to anyone… Not even to any divine Goddess. She's a Goddess herself.” Both women blinked, taken aback. Then suddenly, one of them smiled. This time it was a normal, appreciative one… “Such a lucky girl she is.” Then she took out a red lipstick from her clutch and scribbled something into a tissue paper before shoving it into my hand. “Call me, if she ever makes a dumb decision.” And winked at me. I only smiled faintly, then, without saying a word, I stepped past them without another glance, leaving silence in my wake.Outside, the night air was crisp. My driver was already waiting, engine running. I walked toward the car, but before entering I threw the tissue paper in the dustbin… “My

  • I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!   118. I am taken

    ALEXANDERI did not leave the restaurant until she did.I stayed where I had positioned myself from the beginning— where marble met shadow, where men like me learned to exist without being seen. The private corridor curved just enough to conceal me from casual observation, with the low amber lighting casting long shapes across the floor.I leaned against the wall, my hands resting gently at my sides, in an unhurried pace. Calm was not something I forced. It was something I carried.I wasn’t in a hurry. I am indeed here to take her back to where she belongs. To me, in my arms. And I'll do it, slowly, patiently. I once made a mess, I can't repeat it again…From here, I watched everything.The door to the private hall opened again, and Elowen stepped out with her family. Her mother spoke softly to her, one hand brushing her arm in a gesture meant to soothe. I wondered what she was saying to her daughter… By my tempest's expression, she's not really hearing her words and seems lost. H

  • I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!   117. The mask

    ELOWENI opened the bathroom door with a hand that did not shake. At least, not visibly.I briefly pressed my palm against the cool wood before grasping the handle, using the sensation to compose myself and adopt a calm, presentable demeanor. When the door swung open, I found my mother standing there, concern faintly tightening her features.“There you are,” she said with a tone of relief, her eyes scanning my face with practiced familiarity. “You took longer than expected.”“I felt lightheaded,” I replied smoothly, stepping past her into the hallway. My voice sounded even, composed, almost bored, as though unbothered by life. “The room was warmer than I anticipated.”It was a lie delivered so cleanly that even I almost believed it. Yeah, getting better Elowen. I mocked bitterly in my head. Inside, however, my chest remained constricted, and each breath struggled to meet my body's need for air.My heart beat erratically, neither accelerating into panic nor decelerating into calm. My

  • I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!   116. He is here!

    ELOWENHis presence filled the room as if the air itself had thickened around him.The mirror fogged slightly where my breath hit it, but his reflection was sharp— too sharp, standing just behind me, near the door I had assumed would lead only to safety. His face was harder than I remembered, all edges and restraint, his jaw set in a way that spoke of control stretched to its breaking point. His eyes were darker now, stripped of warmth, unreadable in a way that made something in my chest ache violently.The suit he wore was immaculate, tailored to perfection, expensive in a way that announced power without apology. But beneath that polish was something fractured, something tightly leashed and dangerous, like a storm held back by sheer force of will…For a moment, neither of us moved.My fingers curled around the edge of the marble sink as my chest burned, breath coming too fast, too shallow… I forced myself to inhale slowly, deliberately, refusing to let him see how badly he had shak
