MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 231: The Retirement Party
The foundation had rented the large community hall two blocks from the main building. It was the same hall where we had held our first public fundraiser more than twenty years ago. Back then the room had felt too big for the small crowd that showed up. Tonight it felt almost too small.Dominic and I arrived together just after six. He wore a simple dark jacket and no tie. I had chosen a soft blue dress that Isabella had helped me pick out weeks earlier. We walked in holding hands without discussing it. Neither of us wanted to let go.The room was already full. People stood in small groups near the long tables of food. Others sat in the rows of chairs that had been set up facing a small stage at the front. I recognized faces immediately. Elena stood near the entrance talking with two staff members from the second location. A woman named Maria who had come through our doors fifteen years ago was laughing with her daughter near the dessert table. Several researchers Dominic had worked wi
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 230: The Empty Office
I waited two days before going back.Dominic had offered to come with me. He said he could wait in the car or sit in the hallway if I wanted him close. I told him I needed to do this part alone. He had understood without asking for more explanation.The building felt different when I walked in. Not empty exactly, but quieter in a way that had nothing to do with the number of people inside. Elena was in what used to be my office, sitting at the desk with a stack of files open in front of her. She looked up when I knocked on the open door."I was wondering if you would come back," she said."I left a few things," I answered. "I wanted to finish clearing them out myself."She nodded and stood up. "Take all the time you need. I can work from the conference room.""You do not have to leave," I said. "I will not be long."Elena hesitated, then sat back down. She did not go back to her files right away. She watched me for a moment."Are you all right?" she asked.I gave her the only honest a
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 229: Dominic's Last Major Speaking Engagement
Dominic had been preparing for this presentation for months, though he would not admit how much it mattered to him. He had written and rewritten the closing section three times. Each version grew shorter and quieter. On the morning of the event he stood in front of the bedroom mirror adjusting his tie and then took it off again."I do not need it," he said.I watched him from the doorway. His hair was completely silver now. The lines around his eyes had deepened into something that looked like both age and kindness. He looked like a man who had spent a lifetime learning how to carry weight without letting it crush him."You look fine without it," I said.He turned and gave me a small smile. "I am nervous.""I know."We drove to the university together. The event was being held in a large lecture hall that was already filling up when we arrived. Dominic had been asked to speak about corporate accountability and the long-term cost of avoiding responsibility. It was the same subject he h
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 228: The Foundation Leadership Transition
I had known this day was coming for a long time. I had planned for it. I had trained the person who would take my place. I had written down the things that mattered and let go of the things that did not. Still, when I woke up that morning and realized it was my last day walking into the foundation as its leader, the weight of it settled differently than I expected.Dominic made coffee while I got dressed. He did not ask if I was all right. He already knew the answer was complicated. Instead he handed me the mug and kissed my forehead."Take your time today," he said. "There is no rush to come home."I nodded. My throat felt tight in a way I had not expected.The building looked the same as it always had. The same brick exterior. The same front steps that had been repaired twice over the years. The same small garden out front that volunteers kept alive. But everything felt different because I knew I would not be coming back tomorrow in the same way.Elena was already there when I arriv
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 227: Lisette's Milestone
Lisette turned sixty on a warm Saturday in early autumn. The party was not large. She had never been the kind of person who wanted crowds or speeches or too much attention. Instead she had asked for something simple. A gathering in the backyard of the house she had lived in for almost thirty years. String lights hung between the trees. A long table covered with food that friends had brought. Music playing low from an old speaker someone had set on the porch steps.Dominic and I arrived a little after four. He carried a bottle of wine and I carried the small painting I had found for her weeks ago. It was nothing expensive. Just a quiet landscape of a garden at dusk that reminded me of the one she had tended for so many years behind the foundation building.When we walked through the side gate, Lisette saw us immediately. She was standing near the table talking to two women I recognized from the early days of the foundation. Her hair had gone mostly gray, the same way mine had. She wore
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 226: The Book Tour Ends
The hotel room was quiet in a way that made the road noise outside feel louder. I sat on the edge of the bed with my shoes still on, staring at the suitcase I had not yet unpacked from the last city. Three months. That was how long I had been moving from one hotel to another, one bookstore or library or community center to the next. My body knew the rhythm of it too well now. Wake up, smile, talk about the book, sign copies until my hand cramped, eat something that did not quite taste like home, sleep in a bed that was never quite right, then do it again. I was tired in a way that went deeper than sleep could fix. The book was called *Always*. I had written it in pieces over the last few years, sitting at the kitchen table while Dominic worked in the garden or read in the chair across from me. It was not a story about the beginning. It was a story about what comes after the beginning. About choosing the same person on ordinary Tuesdays and difficult Thursdays and every morning afte
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 78: The Truth He Didn't Have To Tell
**Nadia**I wasn't supposed to be there.I knew that the whole cab ride over. Knew it when Lisette sent me the livestream link and I closed it without watching and then stood in my kitchen for four minutes staring at the counter before I grabbed my keys. My brain had a perfectly reasonable argument
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 69: Back To Nothing
**Dominic**The door clicked shut behind her and the silence slammed into me like a fist.I sat frozen behind my desk, eyes locked on the document she had placed in front of me. The paper looked harmless under the office lights. Just ink and signatures. Just lines and numbers and names arranged in
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 66: What the Document Says
**Nadia** I stared at the contract. My fingers tightened around the paper until the edges bit into my palms. I read the first line. Then I read it again. The words did not change. They sat on the page clean and cold and perfectly still, the way a knife sits before it moves. *Priya Nair agreed to

**Nadia**My phone buzzed hard on the nightstand and ripped me out of sleep.I grabbed it fast. Dominic's arm stayed heavy across my waist. His skin felt warm against mine. The screen lit up with notification after notification. I opened the first post and my stomach dropped.Garrett stared back fr
