Aliya’s POV

After a long-ass shower and what felt like a decade of relentless scrubbing, I finally stepped out of the bath, feeling squeaky clean—after an intense day.

As I massaged scented glowing oil into my skin, I paused to stare into the mirror. The woman who gazed back at me wasn’t Aliya Van Alen—not the one I remembered, anyway.

She looked…hollow and broken. A revenge-hungry shell of the girl who once believed in forever. But this version of me had one mission left. And no matter how long it took or what it demanded, she was going to finish what she started.

Let’s just say, I was doing this for the baby I lost, and the ones I’d never get the chance to meet.

Once I finished, I slipped into my silk nightgown and padded downstairs in search of something warm. Some coffee, or maybe something stronger. The house was quiet, and dimly lit, but I welcomed the silence.

Then my phone buzzed. I looked down and it was Wellington.

Wellington: What was that earlier?

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 73

    Aliya’s POV The house was swamped with officers and a group of medics attending to Liam’s wounds. I still clutch the note that had been left on the box tightly, unable to bring myself to look at it because of how fast my heart spiraled. Everything happened so suddenly, and if Liam had left like I told him to, I would have been dead. Now that brings me to my question. Who did this? Did he? My brows furrowed as I stared at him while the nurses wrapped a bandage around his hand. I turned to the left where Wellington was speaking with the police officers. He had rushed back here immediately after the explosion—at least, that’s what he said—but the way he explained it sounded suspicious. Could it be that he did it? My head was a mess, and suddenly everyone had become a suspect to me. Maybe my dad ordered this, or maybe his lapdog of a daughter, Camille. I didn’t fully trust Nala yet, but I knew she wasn’t dumb enough to want to murder me. She’d lose everything if tha

    Liam’s POV“Here,” Aliya smiled, handing me a cup of coffee. I locked eyes with her as I took the cup, my fingers brushing softly against hers, sending a jolt through my entire body. Just a single touch and I was somewhere else entirely in another dimension.After taking a long sip, I set the cup down and met her calculating gaze.“You didn’t wake me,” I said quietly.“I didn’t have to,” she replied, sipping from her own cup.We sat across from each other at her table, our eyes locked in a silence thick with unspoken tension and a strange, lingering awkwardness I hadn’t realized existed until now.“I shouldn’t have fallen asleep. I’m sorry—I must’ve had too much to drink,” I apologized, not blinking, not even for a second. Her face was like a scene in a movie I couldn’t look away from.“It’s not your fault. And there’s no need to apologize. I had a lovely time,” she said, her smile as soft as it was sweet.Silence crept back in, and I found myself fidgeting. She still hadn’t define

    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 “You keep getting more beautiful as the night drags on,” Liam murmured, reaching across the table to take my hands. I smiled, pulling them back, creating a small, awkward tension in the space between us. “You’ve said that a million times already.” “And I’ll keep saying it,” he said, his tone vibrant with excitement, “because I still can’t believe you’re really here with me.” I remained silent, my eyes fixed on him, measuring every second, mentally counting down when the damn drug would finally take effect. He still looked sharp—too sharp. No signs of slumping, no glassy eyes. Not yet. “Maybe it wasn’t strong enough,” I muttered under my breath. “What was that?” he asked, leaning in slightly. “Nothing, Liam,” I said quickly, smiling as I met his gaze. “I just said the night is lovely.” He didn’t look entirely convinced, but his expression softened as the soft strains of violin music filled the room. “May I have this dance?” With a smile, I slipped my han

  • My Contract Husband Is The Enemy   Chapter 69

    Aliya’s POV I had spent hours looking my absolute best. My long brunette hair flowed down my shoulders like silk, my lips were painted in a killer red that could stop traffic, my lashes curled to perfection, and the red silk gown I wore tied everything together like a ribbon on a lethal gift. This wasn’t just another evening, and it damn sure wasn’t just another dinner. My fingers clenched around my phone as I sat in the backseat of the car, eyes glued to the screen, waiting for a response from the number that had texted me yesterday at the party. I had texted back almost immediately, giving a location and time for the next day—but still nothing. Weirdly, I hadn’t told anyone about this meeting. Not Wellington, not anyone. I wasn’t about to risk having someone else get killed over information that could finally give me the answers I needed. Not again. The hum of the engine buzzed softly in my ears as the car began to slow. I looked up, and there it was—the same mansion
