Liam’s POV

I squinted my eyes shut as the blinding morning sun pierced into my room.

“Rise and shine, sleepyhead,” a voice sang out, followed by the sound of curtains dragging open and ushering in even more light.

A lazy smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I murmured the name under my breath. “Aliya.”

“Your Snow White already left. It’s just me—Brooke,” she added, now standing over me.

I blinked until my vision cleared, and there she was, arms crossed tightly, wearing an expression I couldn’t quite place.

Rubbing the remnants of sleep from my eyes, I pushed myself up to sit against the headboard.

“Where’s Aliya?” I asked, my voice rough with sleep.

“She left, like I just said,” Brooke answered coolly, her tone laced with venom.

My brain finally booted up, and I kicked the covers off, rising to my feet, still in the tux from last night.

Last night—God, it had been the most incredible night I’d experienced in what felt like forever. Seeing her again, the woman

    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. Now I was scouring through her diary, searching for any hint that my mother had been in an unhealthy marriage and that he was the reason for her untimely death.Wellington and I had been sitting in my living room, going page by page, searching for hidden clues that might not even exist, b

    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

    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

    Aliya’s POV “Don’t be scared, I’ve got you.” Bran offered with a warm smile as the car pulled up before a mansion that could’ve easily belonged in a royal fantasy. Don’t be scared, he said. But every man who’s ever told me that line turned out to be an absolute bastard. And here I was, clearly doing the opposite of don’t be scared as my pulse raced, and my stomach twisted in knots. What if I get killed? Or worse, the body is never found? Would anyone even mourn me? My thoughts spiraled out of control, a carousel of dread and doubt spinning faster with every passing second. Then the door of the car swung open, and Bran was there—holding it for me, his gaze locked on mine with something I couldn’t quite decipher. “You know,” I muttered as I stepped out and felt the bite of the cold morning breeze, “I might be a complete idiot for following a stranger into the middle of nowhere.” This was more than just out-of-town—it was hidden. Wrapped in towering old trees. Birds chirp

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 75

    Aliya’s POV I moved down the old wet road toward an abandoned warehouse, hoping to finally find the answers to the questions that had haunted me since Mum died. Could this be a trap? Yes, it could—but I had prepared myself thoroughly. Nothing was going to surprise me anymore. The worst had passed, and now I just wanted to give everyone who had played me for a fool a piece of my mind—and then live in peace. I hadn’t told Wellington about my meeting with William today. For some reason, since the explosion yesterday, I’d felt a strange unease about his presence around me. I couldn’t trust anyone so much anymore—at least, not until the whole truth finally came to light. It had rained heavily the night before, leaving everything drenched and slick. My mind wandered off to the warmth I felt when Liam’s lips touched mine again after months and it seemed I had walked barefoot on clouds for that brief moment. I definitely shouldn’t have felt that way; nothing should have happened.
