MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 217: Alexander Gets Engaged
Alexander calls on a Sunday evening.His voice is different. It's nervous but also certain. It's the voice of someone who has something significant to tell and who understands the weight of what they're about to say."I have something to tell you," he says when I answer."Okay," I say. I can hear Dominic coming down the stairs. He's sensed that this is an important call."I proposed," Alexander says. "I asked Casey to marry me. And they said yes."Dominic sits down next to me and I put Alexander on speaker."Tell us everything," I say."I've been planning this for months," Alexander says. "I wanted to do it right. I wanted to do it the way you taught me. Consciously. With intention. With the understanding that love is a choice."He's speaking faster now. He's excited and nervous all at once."I took Casey to the park where I used to sit when I was a kid," he continues. "The park where I first started understanding trauma and healing. I sat on the bench and I told Casey that I wanted t
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 216: Isabella's Promotion
Isabella calls on a Tuesday morning.Her voice is different. It's excited but also official. It's the voice of someone who has something significant to announce and who understands the weight of what they're announcing."I got promoted," she says when I answer."Tell me everything," I tell her."I'm moving into a leadership position," she says. "They want me to head the policy division for environmental advocacy. It's a significant role. I'm going to be shaping federal policy on climate change and environmental protection."I set down what I'm doing.This is big. This is Isabella stepping fully into her power. This is my daughter becoming the kind of leader that she was meant to become."Congratulations," I tell her. "That's extraordinary.""I know," she says. "I'm terrified and excited and overwhelmed all at once.""That's exactly what you're supposed to feel," I tell her. "You're stepping into something significant. Of course you're overwhelmed."We talk for a long time.Isabella te
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 215: Dominic's Research Published
The journal arrives on a Friday morning.It's a major publication. One of the most respected journals in the field of business ethics and corporate accountability. And Dominic's research is the featured article.He's holding the journal when I come downstairs. He's just staring at it like he can't quite believe it's real."It's out," he says when he sees me."It's out," I repeat.I take the journal from him and I look at the cover. Dominic's name is listed as the primary author. The title is clear: "Building Real Accountability: A Framework for Organizational Transformation Based on Personal Accountability Practices.""How do you feel?" I ask."Overwhelmed," he says. "Terrified. Excited. I spent years working on this research and now it's out in the world and I can't take it back. I can't edit it. It's done."I understand what he means. I've published books. I know this feeling of releasing work into the world and understanding that you can't control what happens to it anymore."It's
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 214: Always Publishes
The book arrives in boxes on a Tuesday morning."Always" is printed on the spine. My name is on the cover. The subtitle reads: "Thirty Years of Choosing Love." The photograph on the cover is of Dominic and me in the garden holding hands. It's simple and real and it's exactly what the book is.I open one of the boxes and I hold a copy in my hands.This is the book about what comes after. This is the documentation of sustained choosing. This is the thing I've been working toward for months. It's finally real. It's finally out in the world.Dominic comes in from the garden and he sees the boxes and he smiles."It's here," I tell him."It's here," he repeats. He takes a copy from me and he looks at the cover. He looks at the photograph of us. He looks at the title. "Always.""Do you think people will read it?" I ask."People will more than read it," he tells me. "People will need it. People will be in the middle of difficult marriages and they'll read this and they'll understand that the
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 213: The Vow Renewal, Twenty-Five Years
Twenty-five years.A quarter of a century. The number feels impossible when I say it out loud. Twenty-five years of choosing. Twenty-five years of building. Twenty-five years of understanding what love actually means.We're doing this at the foundation.Not at a church or a ballroom or anywhere that feels distant from what our life actually is. We're doing this in the space that I built from my survival. We're doing this surrounded by the work that we've dedicated our lives to. We're doing this with the people who matter most.Isabella and Alexander are both here.Alexander came home from his practice. Isabella and Morgan drove up from DC. They're both here as adults who understand what their parents are doing. They're here as witnesses to a love that learned to be real.The ceremony is scheduled for evening.The foundation has been decorated simply. There are flowers but not excessive flowers. There are candles but not in a way that feels performative. The space is beautiful because
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 212: The Next Book
The idea comes to me on a morning in late fall.I'm sitting in my office at the foundation and I'm supposed to be reviewing grant proposals but instead I'm staring out the window at the city and I'm thinking about what comes after. I'm thinking about the life that exists when you stop building and start living. I'm thinking about what love looks like after decades of choosing.And I understand that I need to write about it.I set aside the grant proposals and I open a new document on my computer. I stare at the blank page for a long time. I think about what I want to say. I think about what would matter to people who are in the middle of their own difficult journeys. I think about what I wish someone had told me when I was just starting this work.I start typing."This is a book about what comes after. Not what comes after surviving. That's the first book. This is what comes after you've survived and healed and built something from the healing. This is what it looks like to exist in t

**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 94: Only You
**Nadia**The hotel room had been his choice and my approval.That was how we did things now and I had not once taken it for granted, the asking, the waiting, the genuine adjustment when I said not that one, the other one. The room was high up with the ocean visible from the bed and a balcony we wo
