Alexander calls on a Thursday evening.

His voice is different. It's calm and clear and filled with the specific peace that comes from accepting something difficult. He's calling to tell us something that requires us to listen without judgment.

"Casey and I broke up," he says when Dominic and I answer.

I set down what I'm doing.

"Tell us," I say gently.

"It was amicable," Alexander says. "We grew in different directions. We realized that we wanted different things from our lives. We realized tha

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 225: Alexander Falls in Love Again

    Alexander calls on a Thursday evening.His voice is different. It's calm and clear and filled with the specific peace that comes from accepting something difficult. He's calling to tell us something that requires us to listen without judgment."Casey and I broke up," he says when Dominic and I answer.I set down what I'm doing."Tell us," I say gently."It was amicable," Alexander says. "We grew in different directions. We realized that we wanted different things from our lives. We realized that choosing each other wasn't the right choice anymore."He pauses."We tried to make it work," he continues. "We did therapy. We did the work. But sometimes the work shows you that the relationship isn't supposed to continue. Sometimes the work shows you that the best thing you can do for each other is to let go.""That takes wisdom," Dominic says. "That takes understanding that love sometimes means choosing to separate instead of choosing to stay.""I know," Alexander says. "It was hard but it

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 224: Isabella's Engagement News

    Isabella calls on a Sunday morning.Her voice is different. It's calm and certain and filled with the specific peace that comes from making a decision that feels right. She's not excited in a frantic way. She's excited in a grounded way. She's excited in the way that comes from understanding exactly what she's choosing."Morgan and I got engaged," she says when Dominic and I answer.I set down my coffee."Tell us everything," I say."It wasn't dramatic," Isabella says. "It wasn't a big production. We were sitting in our kitchen on a Tuesday morning and we were talking about our future. And Morgan asked me if I wanted to make it official. And I said yes."I can hear the smile in her voice."That's beautiful," Dominic says."It is," Isabella agrees. "It's exactly what felt right. It's the kind of thing that makes sense when you've been building a life with someone and you understand that you want to keep building it."We talk for a long time.Isabella tells us about the conversation.

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 223: The Gray Deepens

    I notice it first thing in the morning.Dominic is still asleep and the light is coming through the east-facing window and I'm watching him and I see that his hair is completely silver now. Not touched with silver. Not streaked with gray. Completely, entirely silver. There's not a dark hair left on his head.And his face.The lines have deepened over the years. The lines around his eyes are pronounced now. The lines around his mouth tell the story of thirty years of expressions. The lines on his forehead show the years of thinking and working and existing.He's aging.We're both aging.And I realize something that I haven't fully realized before. I realize that we're not going to be young forever. I realize that the time we have left is finite. I realize that getting old is something that's actually happening instead of something theoretical that happens to other people.Dominic wakes up and he catches me watching him."What are you thinking?" he asks, like he always does when he wake

    The call comes on a Thursday morning.Dominic is in his study working on something when the call comes through. I hear him answer. I hear his voice change. I hear him say quietly: "I understand. Thank you for letting me know."When he comes downstairs, I know something has shifted."My father died," he says simply. "A heart attack. Three days ago."I set down what I'm doing and I pull him into a hug.But I'm waiting for the emotion. I'm waiting for the grief or the shock or something significant to happen. But Dominic just stands there in my arms feeling quiet. Feeling still. Feeling something that I can't quite name."How are you feeling?" I ask gently."I don't know," he says. "I thought I would feel something more significant. But I just feel... relieved."We sit on the couch and we don't say anything for a long time."Do you want to talk about it?" I ask eventually."I don't think I'm sad," Dominic says. "I think I'm relieved. I think I'm relieved that the relationship is finally

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 221: The Foundation's Expansion Plan

    The board meeting takes place on a Tuesday afternoon.We're gathered around the table discussing the foundation's growth over the past three decades. We're discussing the impact we've had. We're discussing what comes next. And the consensus is clear. We need to expand.But not in the way we've expanded before.This expansion is different. This expansion is about reaching people who have the least access to resources. This expansion is about opening a location in a rural area where survivors are isolated and where mental health services are sparse."Where should we focus?" one board member asks.I've been thinking about this for months. I've been looking at data about where survivors have the least access to services. I've been understanding where the need is greatest."Appalachia," I say. "We should open a location in rural Kentucky. The statistics show that survivors in that region have almost no access to trauma-informed care. The isolation is extreme. The resources are minimal."Th

    Alexander calls on a Thursday evening.His voice is different. It's excited and emotional. It's the voice of someone who's witnessed something profound happening in their practice."Something incredible just happened," he tells me."What?" I ask."Claire came to her final session today," he says. "My first patient. The woman who came to me eight years ago broken and convinced that her survival was all she had."He pauses."She's healed," he continues. "I mean, the healing is ongoing the way healing always is. But she's reached the point where she doesn't need clinical support anymore. She's reached the point where she's capable of building a life without my help.""That's beautiful," I tell him."It is," he says. "And then she told me something that broke me open."I wait for him to continue."She told me that she's going back to school," Alexander says. "She's going to become a therapist. She's going to specialize in trauma recovery and work with survivors. She's going to do what I'm

    **Dominic** I had touched women before. Plenty of them. In rooms like this and rooms nothing like this, in arrangements far less complicated than the one currently standing in front of me in white lace, trying very hard to look like she wasn't terrified. This should have been simple. "Undress sl

    **Nadia** The chapel was the size of a closet. That was my first thought when we walked in. White walls, two rows of empty chairs, a single aisle that took maybe ten steps to cross. A plastic flower arrangement sat at the altar, dusty at the edges. The officiant was a small man in a rumpled grey s

    **Dominic** She didn't turn around right away. Good. That gave me time. Her posture was rigid. Shoulders pulled tight, spine straight, the whole thing held together by sheer force of will. Not weak. I could see that immediately. Controlled. The kind of controlled that meant she was one wrong word

    **Nadia** Tonight was supposed to be perfect. I had planned every single detail. The room number was already memorized, but I checked my phone anyway. Suite 412. Booked by me, paid for by me, dreamed up by me while Garrett laughed on the other end of the phone. *"You booked it?"* *"Yes."* *"Dam
