**Nadia**

I stared at Dominic across the dim hotel room, my heart hammering so hard it felt like it might crack my ribs. No more hiding. No more careful words. The research papers sat heavy in my lap, printed out and folded like a weapon I didn't want to use but had to.

"I know you can't feel anything," I said, my voice steady even though my hands shook. "Except me."

His jaw tightened. Those dark eyes flicked away for a second, then locked back on mine. "Nadia, don't."

He tried to stand, but I

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 154: Lisette's Twins Turn Three

    The party is chaos exactly the way Lisette said it would be. There are balloons everywhere. Streamers. A cake shaped like something that might be a dinosaur but could also be a dragon, depending on who you ask. Thirty people in a loft in Brooklyn that suddenly feels very small when you add two three-year-olds who have discovered the specific joy of running in circles and screaming. I am godmother to both of them. This is something I agreed to at a moment when I was probably sleep-deprived and emotional, but it's turned into something real. I love these children in the way you love children who are not yours but feel like they are. They call me Nadia but they say it like it's a term of endearment. The girl twin, Sofia, is currently wearing a tutu that she insisted on putting over her regular clothes. She is climbing on furniture and laughing at her own chaos in a way that is absolutely Lisette. The boy twin, Marco, is systematically organizing the gift bags by color while simultan

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 153: Date Night Ritual

    Friday nights belong to us. This is a rule that we established without formal discussion, the way important rules sometimes establish themselves. Dominic and I looked at our lives one day and realized that we were building a marriage that was solid in the big moments but fragile in the small ones. That we were choosing each other when it mattered but forgetting to choose each other when it didn't seem to matter. And so Friday nights became the time when we chose deliberately. This week it's my turn to choose the restaurant. I've booked a place in the West Village that doesn't have the kind of press attached to it that some restaurants do. No photographers outside. No celebrities at the next table. Just good food and quiet and the space to be two people together without performance. Dominic arrives home from the office at six. We have two hours before our reservation. Isabella is with the babysitter. Alexander is at Lisette's for the evening. The penthouse is ours in a way it rare

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 152: The Kids Notice

    Breakfast is chaos in the way that breakfast with a six-year-old and an eight-year-old becomes chaos. Alexander is telling us about something he learned at school that doesn't quite make sense but that he's explaining with absolute conviction. Isabella is eating cereal and reading the back of the box like it contains state secrets. Dominic is making toast. I'm drinking coffee and trying to keep track of what day it is and whether we have permission slips that need signing. This is what normal looks like now. This is what we built toward. Dominic sets a plate of toast in front of me. His hand lingers for a second on my shoulder. Not possessive. Just present. A check-in. A small thing that means everything. Isabella watches this. I don't notice her watching until she speaks. She's been silent for the last few minutes, and I realize now that the silence wasn't the silence of a child absorbed in her breakfast. It was the silence of a child observing. Cataloging. Coming to some kind

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 151: Dominic's New Role

    I don't notice anything different about him that morning. He gets dressed in the suit he always wears, drinks the coffee I make, kisses me before he leaves for the office. Everything is normal. Everything is exactly what it has been for months now. I don't know yet that this is the day everything shifts again, in the small quiet way that most important things shift. He doesn't tell me. That's the part I'll realize later. He makes this choice, this significant choice, and he doesn't mention it. Doesn't ask my opinion. Doesn't explain it beforehand. He just does it. I find out three weeks later at dinner. Raffael is here with Lisette, and we're in the dining room of our penthouse with the city spread out below us like something we own but don't. The kind of view that makes you understand how small you are. How brief everything is. Lisette is telling a story about one of her twins taking his sister's toy and the absolute confidence with which he did it, like he had never encounter

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 150: The Conference Circuit

    The invitations arrive every week now. Sometimes twice a week. Speaking engagements, panel discussions, keynotes at universities and conferences and gala fundraisers where people want to hear the story of the woman who survived and built something from the wreckage. They want me to tell them how I did it. They want to believe that if they listen hard enough, they'll know how to do it too.Six conferences in one year. That's what it adds up to when you say yes to everything because refusing feels like abandoning the women who need to hear that you made it through.This year has been different though. Something has shifted in the way I move through it all.The first invitation came in March for a summit in San Francisco in October. I said yes immediately because I always say yes. The second came in April for Chicago in November. Yes again. The third was Memphis in December. Yes. I filled my calendar like I was filling a hole that couldn't be filled, like if I just did enough, spoke enou

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 149: Alexander's First Day In Schook

    Alexander's first day of school arrives on a Tuesday, which feels wrong somehow, like it should require a Monday to start fresh or a Friday to ease into it. Something definitive. But no. It's Tuesday. Ordinary. The kind of day that will remake itself in my memory as the day everything shifted again, another threshold we didn't see coming until we were already crossing it. He wears the uniform like he's been doing it his entire life. Navy blazer, still sharp with newness. Pressed. Dominic helped him with the tie this morning, showed him the knot three times with infinite patience, and Alexander watched with that specific focus he gets, the one that means he's storing the information for keeps, filing it away in that precise mind of his. He will tie that knot correctly tomorrow without asking. He has his father's capacity to learn something once and own it completely. "Ready?" I ask him, though I'm not really asking him anything. I'm asking myself. I'm asking time to slow down. I'm as

  • 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
