MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 160: Long Distance Tuesdays
When I'm in Washington, my phone becomes my lifeline.I'm in meetings all day. Policy discussions. Committee briefings. Conversations that are shaping how survivors will be protected and supported across the country. It's important work. It's the kind of work that makes me understand why I survived. But when I'm not in meetings, I'm thinking about home. I'm thinking about Isabella and Alexander and Dominic managing everything without me there to manage it.Every night I call home.Dominic answers on the second ring like he's been waiting for it. Like he clears his schedule at a specific time every night just to be available for me. We talk about nothing significant. Isabella's day. Alexander's homework. What he made for dinner. Whether the weather was good. The specific small things that make up a life.But more than the calls, there are the voice messages.He starts sending them during the day. Not texts. Voice messages. I'll open my phone in between meetings and there will be three
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 159: The Offer
The call comes on a Tuesday morning while I'm at the foundation. A woman from the Department of Justice. She has a professional voice and a specific proposal. They're building a task force focused on survivor policy. National level. They want me to serve as an advisor. Four days a month in Washington. Meetings with senators. Testimony before committees. Direct input on policy that will affect survivors across the country. Four days a month. That's manageable. That's not the kind of time commitment that requires me to choose between my work and my family. That's the kind of time commitment that shows up as priority but not as abandonment. I tell her I need to think about it. But I don't really need to think about it. I already know my answer. I already know that this is the right next step. That my voice matters in rooms I haven't been in yet. That there are survivors who don't have someone advocating for them in those rooms. That I can be that person. I call Dominic from the car o
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 158: Alexander at Nine
Alexander at nine is the kind of thoughtful that makes you understand where it comes from. He has Dominic's capacity to observe patterns and understand systems. He has my ability to feel deeply and process emotion through language. He's inherited both of those things and he's spending his ninth year figuring out what to do with them.He writes.Not stories. Not fiction. Observations. He keeps a notebook that he carries with him everywhere. Small leather bound thing that fits in his backpack. I've never asked to read it because it feels private in a way that matters. This is his space to think. To process. To make sense of the world and the people in it.He writes at breakfast sometimes. Between bites of toast. He writes on the subway. He writes in the car when we're waiting to pick up Isabella from school. He writes like someone who is figuring out how the world works by documenting it.One afternoon, he comes to me in the kitchen while I'm making dinner."Can I show you something?" h
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 157: Isabella at Ten
Isabella at ten is formidable in a way that I knew she would be but am still not entirely prepared for.She has my directness. The kind that doesn't filter questions through politeness or social convention. The kind that just asks what she wants to know and expects a straight answer. But she also has Dominic's precision. The way he thinks through things before speaking. The way he moves through the world with purpose and intention. She's combined both of those things into something uniquely hers, which is an impatience for nonsense that neither Dominic nor I possess in the same way.At ten, she's already the kind of person who can walk into a room and command attention without saying a word. She's already the kind of person who knows what she thinks and isn't interested in pretending to think something different to make other people comfortable.She's sitting at the kitchen table doing homework when she asks Dominic about his past.Not gently. Not carefully. Just directly."What did y
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 156: The Book Lands
The letters start arriving three days after publication.They come to the foundation email address. They come to my personal email. They come printed and mailed to the office in envelopes with handwriting that ranges from careful to desperate. They come from women all over the country. Women I've never met. Women whose names I'll never know. Women who read my book and recognized themselves in it.The first week, there are a hundred. By the second week, there are three hundred. By the third week, we've stopped counting because the number keeps growing and the important part isn't the number anyway. The important part is what they say.I read them all. Not because I have to. Because I need to.I need to understand what it means to have told the truth and had that truth received. I need to understand the specific weight of having said the real thing and had it matter.The letters say things like: "I thought I was the only one." And: "I didn't know it was possible to come back from someth
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 155: The Nadia Book: Published
The book is real now. I can hold it. I can feel the weight of it in my hands. The cover has my name on it. My real name. Not Eleanor Vance. Not a pen name or a pseudonym or a way to hide. Just Nadia Reeves. Nadia Marcello, technically, though I've kept my maiden name on the cover because that's who I was when this story started. I didn't do a launch event. No bookstore signing. No press junket. No standing room only at some venue where people come to celebrate the book instead of the story. I couldn't do it that way. The book isn't about celebration. It's about testimony. Instead, I'm reading at the foundation. Thirty women. That's who's here. Thirty women who have survived something. Who have made it to the other side of something that tried to break them. Who understand that a book like this isn't entertainment. It's witness. It's proof that the thing that happened to you doesn't have to be the final word on who you are. My hands are shaking. I didn't expect them to shake. I've
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 21: Little Dove's Awakening
I stood frozen in the hallway outside Dominic's study, my heart hammering against my ribs. The door was cracked just enough for his voice to slip through, low and sharp like a blade. I had only come to ask if he wanted coffee. Now I wished I had stayed in the bedroom. "...Garrett showed up at the
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 19: Claimed in Silk
**Nadia** Dominic took my hand and pulled me into a luxury boutique without saying a single word. My heart already raced faster than it should. After the mess with Priya’s post, he had decided I needed a reward. Now I stood in the middle of soft lighting and expensive racks while his eyes stayed
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 28: I Need You
**Nadia**"Don't."He said it the moment he walked through the door, before I had said a word, before I had done anything except look up from the couch where I had been reading for the last hour.Just that. One word. Low and tight and carrying the specific weight of a man who had spent the day hold
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 39: Reclaiming
I stood in the bedroom doorway, heart still racing from our charged conversation. Dominic watched me from the center of the room, his eyes dark with need and something deeper. The air felt thick between us. This time, I was not going to let him take control. I stepped inside and closed the door beh
