**Nadia**

He asked like he wasn't sure he was allowed to use his own voice.

That was the thing that got me. Dominic Marcello, who had walked into every room I had ever seen him enter like the room should feel grateful, was sitting three feet away from me asking permission to ask a question and genuinely waiting for the answer.

Three months of letters. Apparently they did something to a person.

"Is that okay to ask," he had said.

And I had sat there in the therapist's office in my green dress wi

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 162: The Therapy Graduation

    Dr. Voss brings it up on a Tuesday afternoon in her office that has become as familiar to me as my own home. More familiar, in some ways. This is the space where I learned how to survive. Where I learned how to feel things without being destroyed by them. Where I learned how to love Dominic without abandoning myself."I think we've arrived at a place," she says carefully, "where scheduled sessions are no longer clinically indicated."I know what she means before she says the rest of it. We've done the work. We've moved through the trauma. We've built the structure that holds us. We don't need her anymore. Or rather, we don't need her every other week anymore. We can reach out when we need to. We can access help if something comes up. But the crisis has passed. The healing has happened. We've graduated."Are you saying we're done?" I ask."I'm saying you're ready to be done with scheduled sessions. You've done the work. Both of you. You've moved through what happened and built somethin

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 161: Isabella's First Heartbreak

    Isabella comes home at four o'clock on a Thursday and I know immediately that something is wrong.She's eleven. She's usually home by four fifteen, usually talking about something that happened at school or something she wants to do. But today she's early and she's quiet and her eyes are red in a way that means she's been crying on the subway or in the bathroom at school or somewhere private where nobody had to watch her fall apart."Hey," I say from the kitchen where I'm making a snack for when Alexander gets home. "You okay?"She doesn't answer. She just comes over and sits in my lap, which she hasn't done in probably a year. At eleven, she's usually too big for laps. Too grown. Too aware that sitting in your mother's lap is something smaller children do. But today she just sits and lets me hold her and doesn't say anything.I don't ask questions. I just hold her. That's what I've learned to do when someone needs to cry. Just be there. Just let them know they're not alone in whateve

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 160: Long Distance Tuesdays

    When I'm in Washington, my phone becomes my lifeline.I'm in meetings all day. Policy discussions. Committee briefings. Conversations that are shaping how survivors will be protected and supported across the country. It's important work. It's the kind of work that makes me understand why I survived. But when I'm not in meetings, I'm thinking about home. I'm thinking about Isabella and Alexander and Dominic managing everything without me there to manage it.Every night I call home.Dominic answers on the second ring like he's been waiting for it. Like he clears his schedule at a specific time every night just to be available for me. We talk about nothing significant. Isabella's day. Alexander's homework. What he made for dinner. Whether the weather was good. The specific small things that make up a life.But more than the calls, there are the voice messages.He starts sending them during the day. Not texts. Voice messages. I'll open my phone in between meetings and there will be three

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 159: The Offer

    The call comes on a Tuesday morning while I'm at the foundation. A woman from the Department of Justice. She has a professional voice and a specific proposal. They're building a task force focused on survivor policy. National level. They want me to serve as an advisor. Four days a month in Washington. Meetings with senators. Testimony before committees. Direct input on policy that will affect survivors across the country. Four days a month. That's manageable. That's not the kind of time commitment that requires me to choose between my work and my family. That's the kind of time commitment that shows up as priority but not as abandonment. I tell her I need to think about it. But I don't really need to think about it. I already know my answer. I already know that this is the right next step. That my voice matters in rooms I haven't been in yet. That there are survivors who don't have someone advocating for them in those rooms. That I can be that person. I call Dominic from the car o

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 158: Alexander at Nine

    Alexander at nine is the kind of thoughtful that makes you understand where it comes from. He has Dominic's capacity to observe patterns and understand systems. He has my ability to feel deeply and process emotion through language. He's inherited both of those things and he's spending his ninth year figuring out what to do with them.He writes.Not stories. Not fiction. Observations. He keeps a notebook that he carries with him everywhere. Small leather bound thing that fits in his backpack. I've never asked to read it because it feels private in a way that matters. This is his space to think. To process. To make sense of the world and the people in it.He writes at breakfast sometimes. Between bites of toast. He writes on the subway. He writes in the car when we're waiting to pick up Isabella from school. He writes like someone who is figuring out how the world works by documenting it.One afternoon, he comes to me in the kitchen while I'm making dinner."Can I show you something?" h

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 157: Isabella at Ten

    Isabella at ten is formidable in a way that I knew she would be but am still not entirely prepared for.She has my directness. The kind that doesn't filter questions through politeness or social convention. The kind that just asks what she wants to know and expects a straight answer. But she also has Dominic's precision. The way he thinks through things before speaking. The way he moves through the world with purpose and intention. She's combined both of those things into something uniquely hers, which is an impatience for nonsense that neither Dominic nor I possess in the same way.At ten, she's already the kind of person who can walk into a room and command attention without saying a word. She's already the kind of person who knows what she thinks and isn't interested in pretending to think something different to make other people comfortable.She's sitting at the kitchen table doing homework when she asks Dominic about his past.Not gently. Not carefully. Just directly."What did y

  • 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 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 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
