Alliyah Agustin-Astley

Alexander set his cutlery down with a quiet, decisive click, then leaned back slightly, clasping his hands together as though preparing to evaluate my proposal like a business deal he had already won.

There was something unsettlingly calm about the way he watched me—like a man who already knew the ending but still wanted to savor the moment I spoke it aloud.

He looked… pleased.

Dangerously pleased.

“But this truce has to have rules,” I continued, trying to steady the uneve

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Fifty Four: Resentment

    Chloe WayhemlWhat that woman said lingered in my mind long after I left, her words echoing over and over again until they followed me all the way back to Nicholas’s mansion, refusing to fade no matter how much I tried to shake them off. By the time I arrived, the uneasiness had already settled deep in my chest, twisting tighter with every step I took inside.A few of the household staff greeted me as I entered, their voices polite and familiar, but I barely acknowledged any of them, offering nothing more than a passing glance as I walked straight past. I wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries, not when my thoughts were consumed by what I had just learned. My only focus was Nicholas. I needed to hear it from him directly. I needed to know if what she said was true.Because she didn’t seem like the kind of woman who would lie—and that alone made something inside me burn with anger.Without hesitation, I made my way to his study, my pulse quickening with every step until I finally reache

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Fifty Three: Soon

    Alliyah AgustinThe next day, I woke up with a stronger sense of determination settling deep within me, heavier than anything I had felt before.I needed to get out of this hellhole, no matter what it took. And more than that, I needed to find my parents. Deep down, I had this unshakable instinct, the kind that clawed at your gut and refused to be ignored, telling me that Kass had something to do with it.There were too many pieces that didn’t fit, too many details that quietly connected her to their disappearance. The evidence wasn’t loud or obvious, but it was there—subtle, lingering, and impossible to overlook. And that was something I couldn’t just bypass or pretend didn’t exist.On top of everything else, there was the upcoming launch. It was supposed to be something exciting, something I would normally pour all my energy into, but now it felt like just another weight on my shoulders. Still, everything had already been finalized, and we were set to move forward next week, wheth

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Fifty Two: Gesture

    Alliyah AgustinAfter three long days of being confined in the hospital, I was finally cleared for discharge, though the relief I expected to feel never quite settled in my chest the way it should have. Instead of feeling light and free, there was a strange weight lingering inside me, something quiet but persistent, as if the real aftermath of everything had only just begun the moment I stepped out of those sterile walls.Alexander had stayed by my side the entire time, never once leaving, never once showing any sign of inconvenience or hesitation, and instead of appreciating the effort and care he had given so willingly.I found myself growing more uneasy with every passing hour, my thoughts constantly circling the consequences of his actions rather than the comfort they should have brought me. He had taken care of me in ways that felt unfamiliar, almost intimate, and what unsettled me the most was how little he seemed to care about who might see him doing it, as if the opinions of

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Fifty One: Friends?

    Chloe Wayheml“Nicholas? Where are you?” I called out the moment I stepped inside the mansion, my voice echoing faintly against the high ceilings and polished walls. I raised my tone a little more, hoping for a response, but none came—just the same, familiar silence that seemed to linger in every empty corner of the house.With a quiet sigh, I tightened my grip on the stack of design papers in my hand. There was no point in waiting around, not when I had things to finalize. Without wasting another second, I turned on my heel, left the mansion, and hailed a cab to William’s house instead.When I arrived, the door opened almost immediately, as if he had been expecting me. I couldn’t help but smile at that. He had always been like this—welcoming, attentive, never once turning me away, no matter how unannounced my visits were.“What are you doing here this late, Chloe?” he asked, a hint of confusion crossing his face as he stepped aside to let me in.“No one’s home at Nicholas’s mansio

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Fifty: Confined

    Alliyah AgustinWhen I finally woke up, the first thing I noticed was the heaviness in my body, as though every muscle had been weighed down by something invisible, something suffocating. Pain spread through me in slow, dull waves, making even the smallest movement feel exhausting. Breathing became a struggle, each inhale shallow and unsteady, as if the air around me had thinned.Panic crept in almost immediately, tightening its grip around my chest. For a moment, it felt like I was drowning—like I was desperately reaching for air that refused to come.I forced myself to calm down, closing my eyes briefly as I focused on steadying my breathing, trying to remind myself that I was still here, still alive, even if my body felt like it was betraying me.Then I felt it.Warm hands gently wrapped around mine, a stark contrast to the coldness that clung to my skin. The warmth grounded me, pulling me back from the edge of my spiraling thoughts. Slowly, I turned my head to the side, my visio

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Forty Nine: Argue

    Satana“So she’s safe now?” I asked as we walked side by side toward the forest, the sound of our footsteps muffled by the damp earth beneath us. The air felt heavier than usual, thick with the lingering tension of everything that had just happened. “It’s a good thing those Astleys let us go.”“Didn’t you hear?” he replied, glancing at me briefly before returning his gaze to the path ahead. “We’re in a truce with the Astleys now—at least until we figure out who’s really behind all of this…whoever’s been pulling the strings and pushing us to tear each other apart.”“A truce?” I let out a short, disbelieving breath, my brows knitting together. “Damn, I’m only hearing about this now. Why didn’t you tell me?” I added, the question laced with irritation. It didn’t sit right with me—him keeping something like that.He let out a quiet scoff. “And what? You think you would’ve performed well if you knew that after infiltrating the Villanueva family mansion?” he said, raising a brow at me. “Yo

    Alliyah Agustin-AstleyThe next day arrived, but the words Alexander had said the night before refused to leave my mind. I didn’t know whether they had been meant as a compliment or merely an honest confession, yet they made my heart stutter every time I replayed them.I let out a frustrated groan

    Third Person PovAlexander’s memory drifted back to that night, to the moment he returned to her room after finally cooling down. The image of her in the bathroom was burned into his mind.She had been slumped on the cold tile, half-conscious, her hair plastered to her damp, flushed cheeks. The sou

    Alliyah Agustin-AstleyThe letters were supposed to distract me.That was the plan—to drown my thoughts in ink and paper, to bury the questions clawing at my chest, to silence the shameful fear that I might have lost something precious simply because I had been careless, drunk, and far too vulnerab
