Married The Wrong Groom Chapter Seventy Eight: Changes
Alliyah Agustin-AstleyThat night, Alexander didn’t come home.I tried calling him several times. Each call rang unanswered. I sent him messages too, watching the screen light up and go dark again with no reply. Nothing.It was odd. Alexander never forgot to update me when we were apart. Even back then, when everything between us was just an act, when we were only pretending to care for each other, he was always precise, always consistent. It had become a routine. A habit.And now that we were no longer pretending—now that we were slowly, carefully exploring the deeper parts of what we felt for each other—it felt like something had shifted.Something was wrong.I wanted to ask him about Victoria. The news of her death kept replaying in my head, tangled with the memory of knowing he had been holding her captive. But that wasn’t something I could ask over the phone.Malix and Claire didn’t seem to know where he was either, or what he had been doing these past few days. They exchanged
Married The Wrong Groom Chapter Seventy Seven: Text
Alliyah Agustin-AstleyI waited patiently for both of us to calm down, allowing the heavy emotions between us to slowly settle. The air gradually returned to something bearable, no longer thick with unspoken pain and memories. Thankfully, none of his secretaries interrupted us during that fragile moment, no knocks on the door, no sudden phone calls, no reminders of the world outside. It felt as if time itself had been considerate enough to give us that quiet space, letting us breathe, collect ourselves, and regain control while we were still caught in that vulnerable state.“My view of you won’t change easily,” I reassured, tightening my arms around him as if letting go would make everything fall apart. “And now…I’m just glad—and sorry—that you had to share such a painful part of your past with me.”My voice trembled despite my effort to keep it steady. “I’m sorry if I asked too much today,” I added softly.He gently pulled back just enough to meet my gaze, his hands still warm aga
Married The Wrong Groom Chapter Seventy Six: Past
Alliyah Agustin-AstleyWilliam and I managed to have a surprisingly peaceful conversation, despite Alexander’s presence lingering in the room.If I had to guess, Niali’s presence played a huge part in that. The way my cat sat calmly between us, occasionally meowing or nudging for attention, seemed to soften the atmosphere just enough to keep things civil.When everything was finally settled and discussed, William stood up from his seat and smiled at me, genuine admiration clear on his face.“Your designs are amazing,” he said sincerely. “I can’t believe how much progress you’ve made in just a few days.”I returned his smile, feeling a small sense of pride. “I’m glad you like them. Honestly, this still isn’t the best version I can come up with, but I already have more ideas in mind. I’ll let you know as soon as I refine them.”He extended his hand, and I accepted it, shaking firmly. However, instead of releasing it right away, he used his other hand to gently caress my now-captured han
Married The Wrong Groom Chapter Seventy Five: Awkward
Alliyah Agustin-AstleyI was over the moon the moment I saw Niali.The instant Dexter carefully handed him over, Niali let out a soft meow and immediately settled himself on my lap, curling comfortably as if he had never been away. Dexter waved goodbye before stepping back, leaving us alone as I stroked Niali’s fur, my chest warming at the familiar weight and presence I had missed so badly.As the car started moving, I kept shifting my gaze around, slowly realizing that we weren’t taking the usual route out of the estate. The streets looked unfamiliar, turns sharper, more guarded.“Everything is changing, wife—especially for your safety,” Alexander said calmly, as if answering the question forming in my mind.It surprised me how easily he read me now. It was one of the things that made me like him—how he noticed the smallest shifts in my expression, the quiet thoughts I never voiced.“I see,” I replied, glancing at him briefly before looking back out the window. “And how can you know
Married The Wrong Groom Chapter Seventy Four: Plan
Philip Cynth“What? Do I really have to tell her about the underground?” I cursed under my breath as I downed another glass of scotch.The burn traveled down my throat, but it did nothing to dull the ache spreading through my body. I coughed harshly, my muscles shivering in pain as the injuries reminded me that I was still far from healed. I was only slowly recovering after my encounter with Sebastian—one of Astley’s underlings.They found out what I was doing even though I was fucking discreet. That was the part that still didn’t make sense to me. What confused me even more was the fact that they kept me alive.Orange and Sebastian didn’t hold back. They beat me nearly to death and left me out in the cold, bleeding and barely conscious, until Phoenix found me and dragged me out of there.Fucking Astleys.“They want her to see that she hates him,” Phoenix said calmly as he puffed on his cigarette, his voice steady despite the tension in the room. “And maybe inform her that he’s been
Married The Wrong Groom Chapter Seventy Three: Jealous
Alliyah Agustin-AstleyWe finished eating dinner swiftly, the atmosphere light yet quietly charged, as if something unspoken lingered between us. Afterward, Alexander suggested a short walk to help digest the meal, and I gladly agreed. The night air felt cool against my skin as we stepped into the backyard, where the Olympian-sized pool stretched out before us.Soft underwater lights illuminated the clear water, casting rippling reflections against the surrounding walls. The glow made the entire space look almost unreal—majestic, serene, and dangerously inviting. For a moment, I found myself staring at it, half-tempted to jump in and forget everything else.“Hubby,” I finally called out, breaking the comfortable silence as I noticed him matching my pace effortlessly. “Were you just… really angry that I didn’t inform you I was going to meet with… William for a business meeting?”He didn’t answer right away. His expression was unreadable, his jaw tight, so I continued before my nerves
