DOMINIC

Her eyes were still wide when I turned away.

Wide in a way that made something inside me twist so sharply I had to physically unclench my jaw before it cracked.

You’re not going anywhere. Not now. Not ever. Not while I’m alive.

I shouldn’t have said it.

I shouldn’t want it to be true.

But I did.

More than I’d ever admit out loud.

I stepped outside into the cold air and let the door shut behind me, jaw tight, heart still beating too hard.

The safe house was wired, reinforced, monitored b

  • Married To My Arrogant Billionaire Enemy    Chapter 113- Happy

    DOMINICI froze.Coffee stalled halfway to my mouth, the heat forgotten. My head was still fogged from painkillers and too little sleep, the dull ache behind my eyes a reminder of how long it had been since I’d rested properly. Mr. Alcott’s words echoed louder than they had any right to.Do whatever makes it feel… normal.I remembered saying it. Remembered the exhaustion that had weighed my voice down, the resignation beneath the authority.I just hadn’t expected it to look like this.Boxes were stacked everywhere, leaning against walls like barricades in a siege. Pine needles littered the marble floor. Elliot bounced from foot to foot like a live wire, vibrating with unfiltered excitement. Martha had already taken command, barking instructions and assigning tasks like this was a military operation she’d been training for her entire life. Adrian lounged across the couch with his legs stretched out, coffee in hand, wearing the kind of lazy, entertained expression that made me want to t

  • Married To My Arrogant Billionaire Enemy    Chapter 112- Christmas decor

    BROOKLYNA week changed everything.Not loudly. Not all at once.It changed things in the quiet spaces—in the way the house breathed again, in the way no one flinched when doors opened, in the way silence stopped feeling like a threat.We were back in the city.The real house.Glass and steel and light pouring in through floor-to-ceiling windows like the world had finally decided to be kind again. Security was still there—of course it was—but it felt… relaxed. Like shoulders had lowered an inch. Like everyone believed we were allowed to exist instead of hide.Dominic came home three days after the hospital.He tried to pretend he didn’t need rest.That lasted approximately twelve hours.Now it was a week later, and for the first time since I’d met him, Dominic Blackwell looked—unmistakably—happy.Not controlled.Not composed.Happy.I stood halfway down the staircase, frozen, watching him through the open living room.Adrian was there.Sitting on the couch.Laughing.Actually laughin

  • Married To My Arrogant Billionaire Enemy    Chapter 111- Promise

    BROOKLYN Morning came quietly. Not gently—but quietly, like it didn’t want to scare me awake. I opened my eyes to pale light filtering through unfamiliar curtains and for a split second forgot where I was. Then the weight settled back in—safe house three, the night call, Dominic’s voice in my ear, soon pressed into my chest like a promise that could bruise. I lay there listening. No alarms. No rushing footsteps. Just the low, steady hum of security and the distant clink of dishes somewhere downstairs. Relief crept in slowly, cautious as a stray cat. A knock sounded at my door. Soft. Respectful. I sat up immediately. “Yeah?” The door opened just enough for Mr. Alcott to peer in. “Good morning, Mrs. Blackwell. Gerald has arrived.” My heart skipped. “Is everything okay?” “Yes,” he said. And this time—this time—he smiled. Just a little. “Very much so.” That was all it took. I was out of bed in seconds. ⸻ Elliot was already dressed when I reached his room, sitting cross-l

  • Married To My Arrogant Billionaire Enemy    Chapter 110- Fist

    DOMINICHope was a luxury I couldn’t afford.I’d learned that the hard way—through blood, through silence, through promises made in rooms that never saw daylight. Hope made men hesitate. It made them believe tomorrow was guaranteed.Tomorrow wasn’t.The second the call with Brooklyn ended, the quiet closed in again—cold, sharp, unforgiving. Her voice still echoed faintly in my head, steady but strained, like she was holding herself together for my sake. I stared at my phone for half a second longer than necessary, thumb hovering over the screen as if I could pull her back through it.Soon.I meant it. God help me, I did.But soon only mattered if I survived long enough to keep the promise.I locked the phone and slipped it into my pocket, forcing myself to move. Standing still was dangerous. Thinking was worse.The warehouse sat on the edge of the river, abandoned on paper and very much occupied in reality. Its windows were dark, its doors rusted, the kind of place no one noticed unle

  • Married To My Arrogant Billionaire Enemy    Chapter 109- Midnight Calls

    BROOKLYNSleep didn’t come.It hovered just out of reach, teasing me with half-dreams and jolting me awake every time the house creaked or the wind pressed too hard against the windows. I lay there staring at the ceiling until my eyes burned, my mind replaying the same images over and over—Dominic’s hand at my neck, his voice saying for always, the way he’d turned away like staying would cost him something he couldn’t afford to lose.At some point, my throat went dry.The kind of dry that made breathing uncomfortable.I pushed myself up slowly, careful not to make noise even though there was no one to disturb. The digital clock on the bedside table glowed 2:17 a.m.Of course it was.I padded out of the room and down the hall, the house hushed in that deep, suspended way only the middle of the night could manage. Even the security hum felt quieter, like it knew better than to intrude.The kitchen light flicked on softly.I poured myself a glass of water, hands shaking just enough that

  • Married To My Arrogant Billionaire Enemy    Chapter 108- Concern

    BROOKLYNThe drive felt longer without him.Not because the road stretched on endlessly — but because every mile put more distance between us and the one person who made this chaos feel controlled.Dominic wasn’t in the car this time.Gerald drove.Mr. Alcott sat in the front passenger seat, posture perfect, eyes constantly scanning mirrors and dark roads.Martha was in the back with Elliot and me, her presence solid and grounding.But Dominic’s absence was loud.Too loud.Elliot leaned against my side, already half-asleep, his fingers still curled around his inhaler even though his breathing had evened out. I kept my arm wrapped around him like if I loosened my grip even slightly, something terrible might slip through the cracks.The car moved silently through winding roads, headlights dimmed, trees blurring past like shadows that didn’t quite exist.I kept checking my phone.No messages.I knew better than to expect one — Dominic wasn’t the kind of man who texted while dealing with

    DOMINICBrooklyn didn’t look up when I came into the room.She was sitting by the window again, Elliot’s laughter faintly echoing from somewhere down the hall. Outside, the sky was the kind of pale gray that promised rain but refused to deliver it. The kind of day that held its breath.“I’m going t

    BROOKLYN There was another bruise, a new one. Barely visible under the sharp line of his jaw, but there. A faint mark, almost the color of old wine, right beneath Dominic’s left cheekbone. He didn’t notice me watching him at first. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, sleeves rolled up, ty
