MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 235: Isabella's Wedding Day
The morning was clear and warm, the kind of day that felt like it had been made for this.Isabella had chosen a small garden behind an old stone building that used to be a library. The space was simple. Wooden chairs arranged in two short rows. Flowers from a local farm placed in mason jars along the aisle. A single arch woven with greenery and white roses at the front. No stage. No elaborate decorations. Just enough beauty to mark the moment without trying to compete with it.I helped her get ready in a small room off to the side. She wore a simple dress in soft ivory, the kind that moved when she walked. Her hair was down, the way she had always preferred it. When she turned to look at herself in the mirror, she did not seem nervous. She seemed steady.Morgan was already outside with Alexander and a few close friends. Dominic had gone to speak with the officiant. For a few minutes it was just the two of us.Isabella turned to me and took my hands.“I keep thinking about how scared I
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 234: Alexander Gets Engaged
Alexander called on a Sunday morning and asked if he could come over. He did not say why, only that he had something he wanted to tell us in person. Dominic and I exchanged a look across the kitchen table. We had learned over the years to read the small shifts in our children’s voices. This one carried weight, but not the kind that made us worry.“He sounds steady,” Dominic said after we hung up.I nodded. “Steady is good.”Alexander arrived just after ten with a small bouquet of flowers from the market and a quiet kind of energy around him. He hugged me first, then his father. When he stepped back, I noticed the way his shoulders sat. Not tense. Not braced for anything. Simply present.We sat in the living room with coffee. Alexander held his mug between both hands and looked at us for a moment before he spoke.“I asked Sam to marry me,” he said. “Yesterday evening. We were at the park near her apartment. I had been carrying the ring for weeks, trying to find the right moment. In the
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 233: The Garden in Full Bloom
Dominic had always loved the garden, but now it became something else entirely.With no meetings to rush to and no deadlines pressing at the edges of his days, he began spending hours out there every morning. He moved slowly between the beds, sometimes with tools and sometimes with nothing but his hands. He talked to the plants the way some people talk to animals, low and steady, as if they might answer if he was patient enough.I watched him from the kitchen window at first. Then from the back porch with a book I rarely opened. Then from the old wooden bench at the edge of the garden itself.The change did not happen all at once. It came in small, steady additions. A new row of lavender along the fence. A second trellis for the climbing roses he had been nursing for years. More vegetable beds than we could possibly eat from, though he kept planting anyway. He added a small stone path that wound between the tomatoes and the beans, and he placed a simple bench at the far end so he coul
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 232: First Day of Retirement
I woke before the sun.For a moment I lay still, waiting for the familiar pull of the day. The list of things that needed doing. The meetings. The calls. The quiet pressure that had lived behind my ribs for as long as I could remember. But nothing came. There was only the sound of Dominic breathing beside me and the faint light beginning to touch the edges of the curtains.I turned my head on the pillow and looked at him. He was still asleep, one hand resting palm up between us the way it always did when he was deeply at rest. His face in sleep looked softer than it had in years. The lines were still there, but they did not carry the same weight they once had.I stayed like that for a long time, simply watching him breathe.When he finally opened his eyes, he looked at me without surprise, as if he had known I would be there."Good morning," he said, his voice rough with sleep."Good morning."He reached over and found my hand under the blanket. We lay there together as the room grew
MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE Chapter 231: The Retirement Party
The foundation had rented the large community hall two blocks from the main building. It was the same hall where we had held our first public fundraiser more than twenty years ago. Back then the room had felt too big for the small crowd that showed up. Tonight it felt almost too small.Dominic and I arrived together just after six. He wore a simple dark jacket and no tie. I had chosen a soft blue dress that Isabella had helped me pick out weeks earlier. We walked in holding hands without discussing it. Neither of us wanted to let go.The room was already full. People stood in small groups near the long tables of food. Others sat in the rows of chairs that had been set up facing a small stage at the front. I recognized faces immediately. Elena stood near the entrance talking with two staff members from the second location. A woman named Maria who had come through our doors fifteen years ago was laughing with her daughter near the dessert table. Several researchers Dominic had worked wi

I waited two days before going back.Dominic had offered to come with me. He said he could wait in the car or sit in the hallway if I wanted him close. I told him I needed to do this part alone. He had understood without asking for more explanation.The building felt different when I walked in. Not empty exactly, but quieter in a way that had nothing to do with the number of people inside. Elena was in what used to be my office, sitting at the desk with a stack of files open in front of her. She looked up when I knocked on the open door."I was wondering if you would come back," she said."I left a few things," I answered. "I wanted to finish clearing them out myself."She nodded and stood up. "Take all the time you need. I can work from the conference room.""You do not have to leave," I said. "I will not be long."Elena hesitated, then sat back down. She did not go back to her files right away. She watched me for a moment."Are you all right?" she asked.I gave her the only honest a

**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

**Nadia**Isabella discovered her feet in March.This was apparently a developmental milestone, which I knew because I had downloaded three separate apps in the first week home from the hospital and had been informed by all of them at various intervals that my daughter was either exactly on track o
