MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 227: Lisette's Milestone
Lisette turned sixty on a warm Saturday in early autumn. The party was not large. She had never been the kind of person who wanted crowds or speeches or too much attention. Instead she had asked for something simple. A gathering in the backyard of the house she had lived in for almost thirty years. String lights hung between the trees. A long table covered with food that friends had brought. Music playing low from an old speaker someone had set on the porch steps.Dominic and I arrived a little after four. He carried a bottle of wine and I carried the small painting I had found for her weeks ago. It was nothing expensive. Just a quiet landscape of a garden at dusk that reminded me of the one she had tended for so many years behind the foundation building.When we walked through the side gate, Lisette saw us immediately. She was standing near the table talking to two women I recognized from the early days of the foundation. Her hair had gone mostly gray, the same way mine had. She wore
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 228: The Book Tour Ends
The hotel room was quiet in a way that made the road noise outside feel louder. I sat on the edge of the bed with my shoes still on, staring at the suitcase I had not yet unpacked from the last city. Three months. That was how long I had been moving from one hotel to another, one bookstore or library or community center to the next. My body knew the rhythm of it too well now. Wake up, smile, talk about the book, sign copies until my hand cramped, eat something that did not quite taste like home, sleep in a bed that was never quite right, then do it again.I was tired in a way that went deeper than sleep could fix.The book was called *Always*. I had written it in pieces over the last few years, sitting at the kitchen table while Dominic worked in the garden or read in the chair across from me. It was not a story about the beginning. It was a story about what comes after the beginning. About choosing the same person on ordinary Tuesdays and difficult Thursdays and every morning after a
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
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 222: Dominic's Letter to His Father, Revisited
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

**Nadia**I waited until the morning light had fully claimed the penthouse before I began.I dressed in silence, choosing a soft gray sweater and black trousers that covered every inch of skin Dominic usually demanded access to. No silk robe left teasingly open at the thigh. No bare shoulder brush
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 54: The Sensory Confession
**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 anyth

**Nadia** I stared at the contract. My fingers tightened around the paper until the edges bit into my palms. I read the first line. Then I read it again. The words did not change. They sat on the page clean and cold and perfectly still, the way a knife sits before it moves. *Priya Nair agreed to

**Nadia**My phone buzzed hard on the nightstand and ripped me out of sleep.I grabbed it fast. Dominic's arm stayed heavy across my waist. His skin felt warm against mine. The screen lit up with notification after notification. I opened the first post and my stomach dropped.Garrett stared back fr
