"Garrett Cole no longer works in the company. Security escorted him out twenty minutes ago."

I stared at Dominic across the breakfast table. He said it like he was discussing the weather. Casual. Matter-of-fact.

"Already?" I asked.

"I told you. By Monday." He took a sip of coffee. "It's Monday."

My phone buzzed. A text from a number I didn't recognize. I opened it.

A photo. Garrett standing outside his office building. Box of personal items in his arms. Security guard beside him. His face w

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 24: The Dinner

    I'd been to fancy dinners before. But never one where every person in the room was worth more than a small country.The restaurant was five-star. Private room. Chandeliers. Artwork that probably cost more than my old apartment. Dominic's hand pressed against my lower back as we entered. Possessive. Claiming.Every head turned. Stared. Assessed.I was the curiosity. The new wife no one knew. The woman who'd appeared out of nowhere and married Dominic Marcello."Breathe," Dominic murmured. "You're perfect."I wasn't. But Lisette's coaching helped. I knew which fork to use. Which smile to give. How to shake hands without seeming desperate or weak.A woman approached. Silver hair. Diamonds at her throat. "Dominic. So good to see you.""Margaret. This is my wife, Nadia."Her eyes swept over me. Judging. "Charming. How did you two meet?""Vegas," I said. Simple. True. Let them make of it what they wanted."How spontaneous." Her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Marriage can be such a risk. Espe

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 23: Billionaire's Wife

    I had no idea how to be a billionaire's wife. Turns out, there are rules. Lots of them.I watched Dominic get dressed for work. Suit that probably cost more than my old car. Cufflinks. Watch. Every movement precise. Controlled. He looked like power incarnate.And I realized I knew nothing about his world."What do you actually do?" I asked. "At work. Day to day."He glanced at me. "Run an empire.""Helpful.""Board meetings. Acquisitions. Destroying competitors." He straightened his tie. "The usual."I'd married this man. Lived in his penthouse. Wore his ring. But I'd never seen him in his element. Never attended a business function. Never met the people who filled his days.I was his wife. But I didn't fit into his life. Not really.The elevator dinged before I could spiral further."You expecting someone?" Dominic asked."No."The doors opened. Lisette burst through. Arms full of shopping bags. Designer logos everywhere."Intervention time," she announced. "You have a Fortune 500 di

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 22: The Mother Question

    "Tell me about your mother."Dominic's fork stopped halfway to his mouth. He set it down. His jaw tightened.We sat at the dining table. Dinner he'd made. Pasta. Garlic bread. Wine. Like we were a normal couple having a normal evening.But we weren't normal. Nothing about us was normal."No," he said."Dominic.""I said no." He picked up his fork again. Took a bite. Like the conversation was over.It wasn't."Priya said something today. About your mother. About how she died." I watched his face. Saw the muscle in his jaw twitch. "She said you destroy everything you touch. That everyone you love ends up broken. Or dead."His fork clattered onto his plate. "Priya doesn't know anything.""Then tell me. Tell me what happened to her.""This isn't a conversation we're having.""Yes, it is." I leaned forward. "You almost killed Garrett. You're systematically destroying Priya's life. You've been watching me for months before we even met. You married me after knowing me for hours. All of this

    "You destroyed my life. Everything. My job. My home. My friends. Everything."Priya stood in the coffee shop where I'd agreed to meet her. One last time. She looked terrible. Hair unwashed. Clothes wrinkled. Eyes red and swollen from crying.I sipped my latte. Stayed calm. "I didn't destroy anything. You did that yourself.""You married a monster. You sicced him on me like a weapon.""You betrayed me for two years. What did you think would happen?"She dropped into the chair across from me. Shaking. Desperate. "I lost my job, Nadia. They fired me. No notice. No severance. Just security escorting me out with a box of my things.""I know.""You know?" Her voice cracked. "Did he tell you? Did Dominic brag about it?""He mentioned he made some calls. Explained to your employers that you were a liability. That associating with someone involved in a public scandal would reflect poorly on their company." I set down my cup. "They agreed.""That's not fair. I worked there for five years. Five

    "Garrett's in the hospital. Severe tracheal trauma. They're keeping him for observation."Dominic delivered the news like he was reading a weather report. Casual. Unbothered.I sat on the bedroom floor. Back against the locked door. I'd been there all night. Hadn't slept. Couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Dominic's hands around Garrett's throat. Saw Garrett's face turning blue. Saw the moment his body went limp."Is he going to live?" I asked."Yes. Unfortunately.""Unfortunately?""I should have finished it." Dominic's voice came through the door. He'd been out there for hours. Waiting. "I had him. Should have squeezed harder. Should have ignored you when you told me to stop."My stomach turned. "You're talking about murder.""I'm talking about eliminating a threat.""He wasn't a threat. He was drunk and pathetic and broken.""He came to our home. Upset you. Made you cry." A pause. "That's enough."I pressed my forehead to my knees. This was insane. All of it. I'd ma

    "Please. I just need to talk to her. Please."Garrett's voice came through the intercom. Slurred. Desperate. Drunk.I froze. Dominic's hand tightened on his phone. He'd been reviewing something for work. Now his whole body went still. Predatory."He's downstairs," I said."I know." Dominic's voice was cold. Flat. Dangerous."Security should have stopped him.""They did. He's making a scene in the lobby. Crying. Begging." Dominic stood. "I'll handle it.""Wait." I grabbed his arm. "What are you going to do?""Talk to him."But the way he said it. The way his jaw clenched. The way his hands flexed into fists.This wasn't going to be a conversation."Dominic, don't. Just let security remove him.""No." He pulled free. Walked to the intercom. Pressed the button. "Send him up.""Sir, are you sure? He's intoxicated and—""Send. Him. Up."The elevator dinged three minutes later. The doors opened.Garrett stumbled out. He looked terrible. Hair unwashed. Clothes wrinkled. Eyes red from crying
