MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 188: The Book Tour
The book is published on a Tuesday in October.It arrives in boxes at the foundation. Real physical books with my name on the cover and the story of everything that came after inside. The second book. The one about healing and ice rituals and children growing up and the specific mundane work of choosing someone again and again.The publisher wants me to do a tour. Not a massive tour with sold out venues and press junkets. A small tour. Eight cities. Readings at independent bookstores and libraries and the foundation locations. Places where people who actually care about the work can come and hear me read my own words back to them.Dominic tells me immediately that he's coming with me."To all of them?" I ask."To all of them," he says. "I want to be there when you read. I want to be there when you share this story. I want to support you the way you've supported me."The first reading is in New York.We're at an independent bookstore in the West Village. The space is intimate. Maybe a
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 187: Alexander's First Love
Alexander is different.I notice it the way a mother notices things about her children. The small shifts in energy. The way he's moving through the world with a different kind of attention. The way he's smiling at something that nobody else can see. The way he checks his phone with a specific kind of anticipation.He's eighteen. He's in his first year of university studying psychology. He's becoming the person he set out to become years ago when he decided that understanding trauma and healing was his calling. But something else has shifted too. Something that has nothing to do with academics or career paths and everything to do with the heart.I don't ask about it immediately. I've learned that Alexander will tell me when he's ready. He processes things internally before he shares them. He thinks through his feelings before he puts them into words. He journals about things before he talks about them. He's never been the kind of person to rush his emotions into conversation.But I wat

I've learned that Alexander will tell me when he's ready. He processes things internally before he shares them. He thinks through his feelings before he puts them into words.But I watch him move through the apartment with this specific kind of careful attention. Like he's aware of himself in a new way. Like he's thinking about how he presents himself or what he says or how he moves.It's the specific self consciousness of someone who's aware that they m
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 185: The Quiet Morning
We don't have anywhere to be.It's a Saturday and there are no commitments. The foundation is closed. Dominic turned off his work email. Alexander is at a friend's house for the entire day. Isabella is back at university. We're alone in the penthouse and we have nowhere to be and nothing that requires our attention.I wake up slowly.There's no alarm. No specific time that I need to get up. Dominic is still asleep next to me. The city outside is quiet in the way that early mornings are quiet. The sun is starting to come up but hasn't filled the apartment with light yet.I just lie there and I watch him sleep.It's something I don't do often. Watch him without him knowing I'm watching. Just observe the way his face is peaceful when he's not thinking about anything. The way his breathing is steady and even. The way he looks like someone who's learned how to rest.He wakes up slowly and he smiles when he sees me watching him."What time is it?" he asks."Early," I tell him. "But we don't
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 184: Isabella Comes Home
The apartment feels different when Isabella walks through the door.It's not just the addition of a fourth person. It's the way the space reorganizes itself around her presence. The energy shifts. The rhythm changes. The penthouse that's been operating in a three-person rhythm for the past semester suddenly becomes a four-person home again.She's been in Barcelona for four months.She left for a semester abroad program studying environmental policy in European context. She came back fluent in Spanish and full of stories about classes and travel and the specific way that living in another country changes how you see the world.But what strikes me most is the way she moves through the apartment.She moves like she owns it. Like she's not a visitor returning home but a person reclaiming the space she grew up in. She puts her bags in her room. She immediately goes to the kitchen and opens the refrigerator like she's checking what's available. She exists in the space with the confidence of
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 183: The Park Anniversary, Year Five
The park is in a different city this year. We've been doing this for five years now. Every year on the anniversary of the park, we go somewhere new. We find a park that's beautiful in its own way. We walk the same path that we walked that night. We stand where we stood. And we let the ritual mean something different each time. This year we're in Portland. The park is surrounded by trees instead of the urban landscape of the city where it all happened. The air smells different. The light is different. The space is different. But the ritual is the same. We arrive on a Friday afternoon. We check into a hotel that's close to the park. We have the evening to ourselves before tomorrow when we'll do the actual ritual. Tomorrow when we'll walk and stand and remember and transform. Tonight we just exist in the hotel room and let the anticipation settle over us. Dominic is different this year. I can feel it in the way he's moving. There's less urgency in how he's preparing. There's less

MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 123: Red Eyes
Alexander had been working on something for three weeks.I knew this because I had been listening. Not monitoring, not the vigilant kind of attention that had once been necessary for different reasons, just the natural awareness of a person who had learned to pay attention to the specific sounds of

**Nadia**The dress was Lisette's idea and also her fault.That was my position and I was maintaining it regardless of the fact that I had tried it on and immediately understood why she had sent it. Midnight blue. The kind of cut that was technically conservative and functionally the opposite of co
