Aliya’s POV

“The Truth.”

I stared at those two words, reading them over and over again. My fingers hovered above the page, trembling with hesitation. Just as I was about to keep reading, a familiar voice came through the receiver—sharp, female, and so unmistakable that it made my entire body tense.

“There’s a reason why things happen the way they do, Aliya. But the biggest one… is that you were born a Van Alen.”

I froze and my heart dropped.

I knew that voice. I could never mistake it—not in a million years.

“Hello?” I yanked the phone closer to my mouth, yelling into the receiver. “Hello?!”

But the line had already gone dead.

“No. No, it can’t be what I’m thinking. It’s impossible.” I dropped the phone like it had scorched my skin, a bitter, shaky laugh tumbling out of my throat. My chest felt tight—like something heavy had just been placed on it.

Trying to compose myself, I turned my attention back to the sheet of paper I was holding. My eyes landed again on the

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 82

    Liam’s POV No! She can’t do this to me! I screamed inwardly, tailing the black SUV where Aliya sat comfortably, smiling like she didn’t have a care in the world. I’d watched her get into that fool’s car after what was supposed to be a dinner date. But what kind of man takes my Aliya to such a cheap, pathetic place? As they pulled up before her gates, I parked farther off and watched him open the door for her—my woman—and the way he looked at her, the way he touched her. How dare he lay his filthy hands on what belongs to me? How could Aliya even allow this to happen? We were married, yet she let another man take her out on some ridiculous date. She didn’t truly understand the kind of man I could become when it came to her. But she was just about to find out. I stepped down from my car and ducked into a nearby bush, watching their every move. The things we do for love, I guess. “Want to come inside?” Aliya whispered to Bran but I could hear everything loud and clear

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 81

    Aliya’s POV My phone had been buzzing nonstop since Bran picked me up at the house for a dinner date I had accepted, not out of eagerness but out of the desire to let go of some steam, to feel alive for a moment. Maybe Bran would be the perfect distraction I needed from the chaos my life had become. Earlier, Liam had kissed me, and my entire body had frozen, every cell locked in place, as if my lungs had been ripped out. Shock turned swiftly into anger and then into pure irritation. I had shoved him away like my life depended on it, cursing his entire existence for always doing the opposite of making me happy, yet “love” was the word he seemed to know how to say best. Marcus had arrived with enough men to drag Liam’s sorry ass out of my house as he screamed and cursed, fighting them with a desperation that was sad to watch. But I had stayed long enough in their game to know it was nothing but a chess match, and if I didn’t move, my queen would fall, leaving me completely e

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 80

    Aliya’s POV “Happy New Year to me, I guess.” I let out a deep sigh, gripping the wheel tighter as I drove back home. From the start, I believe I had mentioned that being a Van Alen wasn’t easy. Maybe I even underestimated my own words and how far people would go for their hidden desires. Imagine almost getting killed by someone you once called a friend. I’ve gone through betrayal from nearly everyone I loved, but never have I faced someone trying to take my life. This wasn’t just betrayal; it was attempted murder, and no matter how hard I try to remember the good in my friendship with Brooke, I can’t let this go. I pulled up to my mansion’s gates, honking, and they opened almost immediately. It had been a long day at work, especially after being absent for so long. Once I parked, Marcus came rushing toward me. “Happy New Year to you, ma’am,” he said, flashing a bright smile. He was always sweet, making my business his business, never failing me when it came to his job. M

    Aliya’s POVThings were finally starting to fall into place, and it was all thanks to William’s confession.Nothing could have prepared me for what I heard that day, and even now—a full day later, I was still stunned at the monster I’d been cursed with as a father.After William decided to help me follow up on the case as his way of making amends for staying silent in the past, I wasted no time filing a case against my own father.He’d been arrested, but now he was out on bail, waiting for trial. Every piece of evidence mattered now because deep inside, I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy fight.My strongest weapon was William, and Vinichi had no idea the man he once tried to kill was still alive.

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 78

    Third Person’s POV Nala gripped the rails of the balcony, dreading another morning she had to spend having breakfast with a table full of people she despised—everyone except her mother. After several minutes of pacing and stalling, she finally grabbed a warm bath and dragged herself to the dining table where everyone was already seated. As she walked in, Camille’s eyes snapped toward her, as always laced with venom. But when Philip noticed her presence, his gaze held the opposite. It simmered with lust. “You’re late,” Vinichi commented as she slid into the seat beside her mum, Maria. “Good morning to you too, Dad,” Nala replied, sarcasm coating her words. “You really just have to make everything about you, don’t you?” Camille interjected. Nala smirked, reaching for a strip of bacon. “We can’t keep doing this every morning, Camille. Grow up.” “She’s right, Camille,” Philip chimed in, clearly out of place at the Van Alen dining table. “It’s not even halfway through the

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 77

    Liam’s POV Fuck me for thinking a kiss would be enough to win her back. Maybe if we’d had sex, she’d still be in my arms right now. She would’ve remembered what it felt like when all we did—day and night—was fuck and cum until we couldn’t anymore. My little dove wasn’t so little now. She had a will of her own, and it felt like it’d take forever to fully pull her back into my life. Those lips I hadn’t tasted in months… yesterday, I felt them again, if only for a heartbeat. It didn’t last, but I swear, I’d trade every damn cent I own for just one more kiss. Aliya had asked me to leave. I know she’s playing hard to get, but if I can walk around with a life threatening disease rotting inside me and still manage to keep my head up, then breaking down the walls she’s built shouldn’t be impossible. Firstly I was going to prove to her that Brooke had nothing to do with the explosion at her place yesterday. I know my sister. She’s crazy, sure—but she’s not a killer. And she’d n
