MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 084: Good bait
Isabella’s POVMy hands still wouldn’t stop shaking even after everything settled. Even after the attacker was unconscious.Even after Julian arrived.Even after Rafael wrapped his jacket around my shoulders and kept one hand firmly against my back like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go i still felt terrified.The kind of fear that stayed under your skin. Julian handled everything strangely calmly like this happened every Tuesday.Which honestly concerned me deeply.The unconscious attacker had been dragged into one of Julian’s vehicles while he made several phone calls in that calm terrifying voice of his.Rafael stayed beside me the entire time still bleeding and silent I kept glancing at the cut on his arm. It looked painful but he acted like it was a paper cut.Psychotic behavior honestly.“You need stitches,” I muttered for the fifth time.Rafael looked down at me briefly.“You need to rest.”“That’s not an answer.”“It’s the only one you’re getting.”I glared at him and
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 083: What if you weren’t there
Isabella’s POVMy entire body shook against Rafael’s chest and his arm tightened around me instantly.“I’ve got you,” he repeated quietly.I clutched his shirt harder as I struggled to breathe, his lungs burned from running in heels and my ankle throbbed painfully.But none of that mattered because somewhere outside the alley someone was hunting me.Rafael pulled me deeper into the dark corridor between buildings carefully, it smelled like rain and concrete.His breathing was still uneven from running and mine was worse.“Look at me,” he said softly.I did.“Are you hurt?” he asked quickly scanning my body in one assessing swoop.I shook my head weakly.“My ankle maybe.”His jaw tightened.“You shouldn’t have worn those shoes.”I blinked at him incredulously.”what should u have done then?” He got to his knees and took of the painful heels and rubbed small circles on my legs and I let out s small groan of relief His body went rigid and I was about to make a snarky comment when he loo
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 082: The attack
Isabella’s POVMy head felt like someone had smashed it against concrete repeatedly. I groaned softly and buried my face deeper into the pillow.Why did alcohol exist?Actually no. Why did Aurora exist?Because somehow every terrible decision in my life recently had involved her saying “it’ll be fun.”A hand touched my shoulder gently.“Bella.”I cracked one eye open.Vivienne sat beside me on the bed looking far too awake for someone who had also been drinking last night.Aurora was sprawled across the armchair snoring dramatically with her mouth open.I took a quick picture other and Vivienne rolled her eyes .“What time is it?” I croaked.“Ten.”I groaned louder.“Kill me.”“No.”“Please.”Vivienne handed me water instead and I drank it greedily then I froze halfway through because all my memories flashed back into me.I sat up too quickly and my head spinner“Ow”Vivienne steadied me immediately.“Easy.”“What happened last night?” Aurora snorted awake instantly.“You got kidnapp
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 081: Two gremlins
Rafael’s POVDivorcing Isabella was the hardest thing I had ever done and unfortunately it also turned me into a psychopath.Not the murdering kind but the stalking kind which honestly wasn’t much better.If Julian ever wrote a biography about me, I was absolutely certain there would be an entire chapter titled:Rafael Ashford: Billionaire Stalker Because for the past few weeks, that was exactly what I had become. I followed her everywhere.But in my defense people were literally trying to kill her, so technically, I was being protective.Julian disagreed.“You’re sick,” he informed me one afternoon while we sat in my car outside the Monroe building.I didn’t look away from the entrance.“I’m being cautious.”“You watched her eat salad for forty minutes yesterday.”“She looked stressed.”“She was chewing.”“She stress chews.”Julian stared at me for a long second.“You need therapy.”I ignored him.Because at that exact moment, Isabella stepped out of the building.And suddenly the e
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 080: Monroe Company
Isabella’s POVOne monthThat was how long it had been since I walked out of Rafael Ashford’s house with my heart in pieces and my pride barely hanging together.Thirty-one days.Not that I was counting.Okay. I was counting.But life didn’t stop because my marriage fell apart.Apparently, the world still expected me to wake up, wear lipstick, sign contracts, smile at board members, and pretend my chest didn’t ache every time I saw a black Rolls Royce.Which was unfair, honestly.Because there were a lot of black Rolls Royces in the city.My life now was very different. The Monroe company was officially mine again.And somehow, after years of being treated like decoration for my father, I was now the CEO.The first week had been chaos, the older board members were questioning me and the excutives trying to undermine me.People assuming I’d fail but then something strange happened.I didn’t.Turns out rage and heartbreak were excellent motivators.Who knew?I spent most of my days in
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 079: Start afresh
Isabella’s POVI didn’t go back to my parents’ house, i didnt think I could face them after everything.The thought of going back there hurt more so I stayed with Vivienne at first, it was supposed to be temporary.Just a few days, a week at most until I figured things out and my life stopped feeling like shattered glass beneath my feet.But days turned into weeks and somehow I still felt stuck in the same place Vivienne never complained.Not once, even when I wandered into her kitchen at 2 a.m. looking like a ghost.Even when I cried in her bathroom because a random cologne commercial reminded me of Rafael.Even when I spent hours staring blankly at the ceiling instead of speaking to her abd Aurora.She never pushed or asked too many questions she just stayed.Aurora too.Though Aurora’s version of support involved aggressively insulting Rafael every chance she got.“I hope his coffee tastes bad forever,” she declared dramatically one morning.Vivienne looked up from her laptop. “Tha
