I couldn’t sleep that night.

Every word he had said crept into my mind uninvited, looping over and over until my thoughts felt tangled and restless. No matter how I shifted beneath the sheets, no matter how tightly I closed my eyes, sleep refused to come.

What he said last night felt dangerously close to a confession.

Does that mean…he likes me?

I bit my lower lip, frustration mixing with something softer, something warmer. I almost hated myself for it—because no matter ho

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Seventy: Past

    Claire CynthMalix and I had to take two separate flights before we finally arrived in the country called the Philippines. The journey itself felt longer than it should have been, not just because of the layovers and the hours spent in transit, but because my mind refused to rest the entire time. Every second felt heavy, like something was waiting for me here—something I couldn’t fully remember, yet somehow couldn’t ignore either.From what I heard, the boss and the rest of the group from Astley and Cole had already arrived a day earlier. Unlike us, they had chosen to travel by boat, probably to avoid attention. It made sense, considering everything that was going on, but it also meant they had a head start.The air felt different the moment we stepped outside the airport—warm, humid, almost suffocating—but I barely paid attention to it. My thoughts were somewhere else entirely.“So…what else do you remember from the past?” Malix asked as we walked side by side, his voice careful,

    Alliyah Agustin“So you’re telling me that you managed to uncover something about Crimson, yet you don’t exactly remember being tied to them until just recently?” I asked, my voice low and measured.The air between us felt heavy, thick with tension and unspoken questions, yet neither of us dared to break away from the conversation. He told me that he had been brought here under the pretense of getting answers from me—answers that were supposedly meant to be forced out through torture—but instead, all we had been doing was exchanging information, carefully laying out pieces of the pasts as if trying to solve a puzzle that had long been shattered.It was strange, almost ironic, how things had turned out. In a situation where we were supposed to be enemies, we had somehow found ourselves on the same side.Even if we had come from completely different organizations with different histories, different loyalties, and different truths we had been raised to believe.Before any of this even b

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Sixty Seven: Hubby

    Alexander Nicholas Astley“What else have you planned with her?” I asked, my voice measured and deliberate, cutting cleanly through the suffocating silence as I listened to the sound of his ragged breathing fill the room.Chester had been in custody for days now, yet instead of breaking him, the confinement seemed to have peeled him open, exposing every ounce of fear, desperation, and guilt he had been trying so hard to hide.It had been almost forty-eight hours since my wife was kidnapped, and every second since then had stretched unbearably, each minute sharpening the storm brewing inside me. Beyond these walls, the underground had already begun to stir, its whispers slithering through every corner of the city, growing louder and more dangerous by the hour, speaking of an inevitable war between the Crimson and the Astleys—a war that would leave nothing untouched once it began.And the worst part of it all was that I knew exactly who had set everything in motion.It was me.“I told

    Claire Cynth“Claire, wake up… I found something,” a familiar voice called out, gently cutting through the thick haze of my sleep.I didn’t answer right away. Instead, I slowly pushed myself upright, my body heavy and uncooperative as I tried to pull myself free from the lingering grip of a deep, dreamless rest. My eyes struggled to adjust to the dim light around me, and for a moment, everything felt distant, as though I were still halfway lost in whatever world I had just left behind.“Malix?” I murmured, my voice soft and unsteady, still tangled in sleep. As awareness gradually returned, I turned toward him, blinking a few more times before shifting closer. “How long was I asleep?”“Long enough to finally get some decent rest,” Malix replied with a quiet giggle, though the lightness in his tone didn’t quite reach his eyes. There was something more serious beneath it, something he wasn’t saying outright, especially as he extended his hand toward me, holding something out. “You know

    Alliyah Agustin“Yes, she’s the daughter of the founder of Crimson, and now that they’re gone, she’s the one leading everything,” Chloe said, her voice laced with an unmistakable smugness that only seemed to deepen with every word she spoke.So no one was actually pretending to be Crimson the whole time; instead, they deliberately kept their identity concealed by hiding behind the name “Smiths” and spreading misleading information, making it seem like Cole or Astley was responsible for certain actions when in reality that wasn’t the case.She let out a soft, almost amused chuckle before continuing, “I even tried to protect Alexander from her clutches, but right now, if he doesn’t take back what he said, you’re the one who’s going to suffer.”I stared at her, trying to fully process what she had just admitted so casually, as if threatening someone’s safety over unreturned feelings was the most natural thing in the world. The realization settled heavily in my chest—she was genuinely wi

  • Married The Wrong Groom   Chapter One Hundred Sixty Four: Truth

    Alliyah AgustinKassandrah managed to take me somewhere far away—far enough that nothing felt familiar anymore. She had a private jet, and before I could even process what was happening, we had already landed in a tropical country.The air felt different the moment we stepped out, heavier somehow, like it carried secrets I wasn’t meant to uncover yet.I overheard fragments of a phone call during the flight, just enough to piece together something unsettling—that this was where most of the drug dealings were happening.Where buyers stayed hidden behind layers of anonymity, and where the real power lay in the hands of people seated in positions no one would ever suspect. It made my stomach twist, realizing I had been dragged into something far bigger than I understood.They brought me to a place I had never seen before, somewhere isolated and unnervingly quiet, but the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Chloe Wayheml.The second her eyes landed on me, I felt it—pure disgust, sharp

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

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
