Suzanne's pov:

“Your clothes will be ready by this weekend; we will come back for fitting.” The stylist said as she and her team packed their things to leave. I gave them a warm smile as they left.

Now alone, I decided to explore my new home. As I walked by the corridors, I noticed the Art on the walls, each of them looking beautiful and unique as they held different stories untold.

“I told you I always get what I want, she is mine now.” I heard Dominic speak to someone on the phone.

As I tried to open the door further to listen more closely, the door made a squeaky sound.

I froze. “Who is there?” Dominic said in a commanding tone, his voice low and threatening.

My heart skipped a beat as I realized I had been discovered. I tiptoed back to my room, my feet barely making a sound on the floor, and gently closed the door behind me, holding my breath in hopes of going unnoticed.

My mind raced with questions. Who was Dominic talking to on the phone? What did he mean by 'he always gets what he wants'?

I sighed softly and sat on the bed, lost in thought, without knowing that Dominic had entered the room.

“Did the stylist get everything they wanted?” he asked, his voice low and menacing. I was startled; my thoughts were interrupted. “Yes, they did”, I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.

Dominic's gaze lingered on me before he instructed, “Go to the wardrobe and change into something comfortable for the night”.

I obeyed, returning in a black nightgown. But Dominic's eyes narrowed, his gaze burning with intensity. “No, change into the red one”, he commanded, his voice low and husky.

“I think red complements your skin tone better.” I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I changed into the red nightgown, Dominic's eyes never leaving my direction, giving me a gulpy sensation in my throat.

As I walked out of the wardrobe with the red see-through nightwear, Dominic stood up from his seat and walked closer to me, his eyes fixed on mine. I looked away Immediately.

Scanning me like a predator after his prey, he began to circle me, his movements slow and deliberate.

As I looked up at him, his eyes devoured mine. I felt a shiver run down my spine as Dominic's gaze lingered on me, his eyes burning with intensity.

Dominic's voice was low and gruff as he spoke, his words dripping with seduction, an erotic whisper.

“I told you red compliments your skin,” he whispered in my ears. His deep voice on my warm skin made my knees weak.

My heart raced as Dominic's hand reached out to brush a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch sending sparks through my body.

His other hand gently wrapped my waist and pulled me close. I began to feel my body tense up, my heart racing with anticipation.

I looked up at him, our eyes locked in an intense gaze. His face inched closer, his breath warm against my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

“I want to fuck,” he whispered. My brows furrowed, I wasn't used to being fucked. Besides, I can't remember the last time Tavon touched me, I didn't know how to react.

“I… don't think… I'm ready…” a tiny voice came out of me. His jaw tightened and his demeanour turned sour. “Why?” he questioned, touching my chin and moving his hands down my neck slowly.

I shivered in my spot with my see-through dress. “I…,” I tried to speak up but then he pulled my right nipple causing me to muffle an involuntary sound.

Then he closed his eyes and inhaled with his nose on my left collarbone. I gasped for air and tried pushing him away but I couldn't dare push him. Rather, my hands wrapped around his neck.

But instead of going further, he pulled away, then my eyes flicked open.

“What are you doing to me?” I finally asked with furrowed brows.

“I will wait until you are ready, but don't forget that this is a contract marriage, and I could run out of patience.” his gaze darted before he looked into my eyes.

“And if I run out of patience… Well, I hope I do not.” A naughty smile played on his lips before he walked out of my room.

Leaving me standing in the dress he asked me to wear.

—-

After reaching out to my son through Stella, I was relieved that the surgery was completed successfully and I was expecting him to join me in Dominic's penthouse soon.

I decided to see a movie by myself. So I went to the living room and put on a show I usually enjoy.

“I will be back in the morning,” I heard Dominic say from behind me. Turning around to see him elegantly dressed with his broad shoulders complementing his outfit.

    Suzanne's pov:“You are leaving me all alone?” I frowned. “Is there something you need from me?” he questioned nonchalantly, taking up his keys from the table. “You have the housekeeper at your disposal.” I pressed my lips against each other.“I need to get what you are not giving me. I need to quench my thirst.”My jaw twitched in irritation. “Is this what our marriage will look like?” I murmured. “Well, who knows? You agreed not to question my decisions and follow my instructions, did you not?”The question pinged my chest. A familiar ache I had felt before. My eyes crowded with tears as I bent my head, trying to hide my emotions.What did I expect? He said no strings attached till our aim had been achieved and we got the divorce.“Do you want me to stay?” he asked, raising my head with his hand on my chin. “Do whatever you want, I do not have the right to tell you anything,” I replied softly, removing his hand from my chin.He chuckled slightly and walked out of the sitting room.

    Dominic's pov:Without a word, Suzanne walked past me, her heels clicking against the polished floor as she made her way to the bar. I watched as she gracefully slid onto a stool, her back straight but her movements unusually slow.Something wasn’t right.She rested her hands on the counter, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of an untouched glass. Her expression was distant, her eyes unfocused as if lost in thought.I knew that look.She was thinking deeply. And whatever was on her mind had pulled her away from the moment entirely.What is she so caught up in?I exhaled and forced myself to turn back to business. Oscar and the others were already deep in conversation about a potential deal. I nodded along, pretending to be fully engaged, but my attention remained with Suzanne.Then, I noticed movement near the bar. A man, someone I didn’t recognize, approached Suzanne.His stance was confident, his smile easy. He leaned in slightly as he spoke to her.I clenched my jaw.My focus wa

    Suzanne‘s pov:The next morning, I woke up to the bright sunlight burning through my window.The events of the previous night were still fresh in my mind, the way Dominic had taken control at the bar, the way his touch had set my body on fire in the car. But more than that, the message from Rachel haunted me.I couldn’t shake the feeling that it meant something bigger, something I wasn’t prepared for.With a deep breath, I got out of bed and made my way downstairs.Dominic sat at the dining table, his coffee half-finished, his phone in his hand. Dressed for work, he looked as put together as always, calm and unreadable.I hesitated for a moment before stepping forward."Good morning," I said, my voice even.He barely glanced up. Just a nod before his eyes returned to his phone.That was it. No warmth. No trace of what had happened between us last night.I clenched my fists. Did he know I had seen the message? Was he just pretending nothing had happened?Before I could say anything els

    Suzanne's pov:She scoffed. "Suze, come on. Rachel could be his business partner or sister. You don’t even know if the baby is his. And even if it is—"I shot her a sharp look."Relax, I’m just saying you should talk to him first before jumping to conclusions."My chest tightened. Maybe she was right. Maybe I was being irrational. But the idea of Dominic keeping something like this from me made my stomach churn.I needed air. I set my cup down and stood. "I’m going out."Stella blinked. "Where to?" "Anywhere but here."She smirked. "So, you’re gonna go to a party and act like you don’t care?"I grabbed my purse. "Exactly." Before she could say another word, I was already at the door. Because tonight, I didn’t want to be the wife drowning in doubts.I just wanted to breathe.Dominic's pov:The meeting room buzzed with conversations, but my mind was elsewhere. My phone vibrated against the polished table, and when I glanced down, an alert flashed on the screen.“Suzanne has left the hou

Please do not go further if you are below the required age, or do not want any form of erotic expression.Read on if you dare!Dominic’s pov:She had no idea what she did to me.Sitting beside me in the car, silent but burning with the same hunger I felt, Suzanne had no clue just how much she was unravelling me. The way she bit her lip, the way her fingers trembled slightly as they rested on her lap—I saw it all. Felt it. She was nervous, but she wanted this. Wanted me.And tonight, I was going to give her exactly what she needed.By the time we reached the house, I had barely shut the front door before I had her against the wall.She gasped, her wide eyes staring up at me, but I caught the flicker of something else, anticipation.I trailed a single finger down her arm, slow, teasing, making her shiver. "You don’t know what you’re doing to me, do you?"She swallowed hard. “Dominic—"I c

    Suzanne's pov:The next morning, I stirred awake, my body still aching from the intensity of the night before. A lazy smile played on my lips as I stretched, reaching across the bed, expecting to feel Dominic beside me.But the bed was empty.My smile faded as my eyes fluttered open. The space beside me was cold, as if he had been gone for a while. I sat up, my gaze scanning the room, only to hear the faint sound of running water.The bathroom door was slightly open, and through the gap, I saw Dominic step out, a towel wrapped loosely around his waist, droplets of water still clinging to his chiselled chest.His dark eyes met mine, but there was no softness, no trace of last night’s passion. Just the usual unreadable expression.“Good morning,” I said hesitantly, watching him as he ran a hand through his damp hair.He barely acknowledged me. “Go to your room.”My heart sank, but I masked it quickly, nodding stiffly before slipping out of the bed and making my way to my room.A short w

    Suzanne's pov:He didn’t answer immediately, just watched me with those dark, unreadable eyes. Finally, he said, "I told them to leave."I swallowed hard. "Why? What is going on?" I strode a little towards him.He stepped closer, his gaze never leaving mine. "Because I wanted us to be alone." A chill ran down my spine, but it wasn’t fear. It was something else. It was, confusion.My breath caught as his hands reached for me. I tried to resist, my mind still reeling from what I had seen at the café, but his touch was too familiar, too intoxicating. My body betrayed me, melting under his touch even as my mind screamed at me to push him away.I felt his breath ghost over my skin, his fingers tracing slow, deliberate patterns on my arms, and my waist. "You’re mine, Suzanne," he murmured, his voice laced with something dark, something possessive.“If I am yours, then why do you see other women?” I blattered out. I could see the shock on his face as he pulled backwards. “What do you mea

    Dominic’s pov:Seated properly on the bed, I exhaled, my eyes locked onto hers. "I haven't been with anyone since we got married. I’m telling you the truth."Suzanne remained silent, her expression unreadable. I leaned forward slightly, my voice steady but firm. “And I'm not ready to talk about Rachel. I would really appreciate it if you could just trust me and let me handle things."I waited, watching the emotions flicker across her face. Finally, she sighed. "Okay."Before I could say anything else, the door creaked open, and Kai walked in, rubbing his sleepy eyes. I smiled at him, giving Suzanne one last look before standing up and leaving the room.Suzanne's pov:"Hey, baby," I said, my voice softening as I pulled Kai onto the bed beside me. "What have you been up to lately?""Well," he drawled, a sleepy grin spreading across his little face, "my new dad has been buying me a lot of toys. He even got me the LEGO I asked you for last Christmas!"I froze, my breath catching as I lis

    Linda’s pov:For a moment I felt fear, the whole world had turned on me, all the people I had deceived. All the people I had taken from. The bribes I had received.Now my company was being taken away from me, and the man that I wanted was still in the arms of that witch.The people I had once controlled, bought, and manipulated, were vanishing. Fading like mist. Board members resigned, investors pulled out, and headlines screamed my name with venom. Every bribe I took, every hand I twisted, every secret deal I made in the shadows, it was all unravelling.The companies I spent years building with blood and ruthlessness were crumbling. My empire was no longer mine.She surely cast some kind of spell on him. It was the only explanation that made sense. Why else would Dominic, brilliant and disciplined Dominic, fall so completely, so blindly for her? A woman with nothing but a child from another man and eyes too naive for this world?I had seen it in his gaze, even when I walked into

    Suzanne's pov:A few hours had passed, and Desmond and Ford had gotten the best out of him. Even Stella had spent some time in his room before heading back out to join me.While I myself sat alone in a corner outside the private ward, a small garden that was currently only occupied by me.I took in a sharp breath as the recent events replayed in my mind. The gratitude I felt towards the universe for helping me fight a war I wasn't familiar with.My eyes soaked with tears and my palms rubbed against each other as I closed my eyes and took in another sharp breath.“Victory at last,” I murmured, solely to my ears. “Yeah victory at last,” Stella's voice pricked my ears. I jolted and turned in her direction as I tried to hide the tears that were brewing in my eyes.“You did it, girl,” she clasped my hands after taking her seat next to me. “No, we did it. I couldn't have done any of this without you. Thank you, my friend,” I complimented her, looking her straight in the eyes.“C’mon, you k

  • Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival   Chapter 88: “She Fought for Me”

    Dominic’s pov:The first sound I heard was not a voice.It was chaos.Faint at first—like static. Then sharper. Words. Fragments. Shouting. Headlines.My eyelids were heavy. My limbs, stone. But the noise persisted, scraping against the edge of consciousness until I couldn’t ignore it anymore.“…Linda Blackwood implicated in multi-million dollar charity fraud…”“…evictions, offshore accounts, demolition of shelters…”“…anonymous leak reveals illegal real estate dealings tied to Chase Foundation…”I blinked. Slowly. Painfully.White ceiling. Beeping monitor. Sterile air.Hospital.I blinked again, turning my head—just slightly. A television screen mounted on the wall flickered with images. Linda’s face. Her signature smile, now twisted beneath grainy surveillance footage.Words scrolled across the bottom of the screen:“Public Outrage as Linda Blackwood’s Crimes Go Viral — Sources Say Ex-Wife of Dominic Khan Behind Years of Corruption.”The next clip: A woman walking out of a building

    Suzanne’s pov:The dining room table was covered in maps, laptops, scattered printouts, and half-drunk cups of coffee. Outside, the sky was still a soft bruised purple, the sun barely peeking above the horizon, but inside this house, war was already underway.Ford leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his usual calm now coated in disbelief. “You’re telling me Linda’s been running an international laundering ring through fake charities?”“Yes,” I said, my voice low, but sure. “She’s evicted children, bribed officials, funnelled money through shell companies, and built a house of cards with bloodstained mortar.”Desmond cursed under his breath and ran a hand through his hair. “No wonder she didn’t blink when you threatened her. She’s been above consequences for too long.”“And she’s good at hiding it,” Stella added, eyes glued to her laptop screen. “The kind of good you only get when you’ve been doing this for years.”I looked at each of them, feeling the weight of the moment press d

    Suzanne's pov:My blood ran cold.“She’s planning something,” Desmond said quietly.I looked down at Dominic’s face in one of the photos—still pale, still resting. Unaware of the war being waged around him.And I made a vow to myself, to my heart, to everything we’d built in the shadows of a contract:I will defend you—even if it breaks me.I stood at the window of Dominic’s study long after the house had gone silent. The city skyline stared back at me—cold, glittering, distant. Somewhere out there, Linda was probably swirling her wine, smiling at the chaos she left behind.“I want Dominic.”The words haunted me, not because of their audacity, but because of the calm conviction with which she said them.I had tried to threaten her. I’d offered her money, and even shown her proof of her crimes—but Linda hadn’t even flinched.She burned the evidence in my face and walked away like she’d already won.My threats meant nothing to her.It was at that moment I realized I wasn’t dealing with

    Suzanne’s pov: The ride home was quiet.Not because the night was peaceful—no, it was anything but. It was quiet because my mind was on a battlefield. Each of Linda’s words replayed over and over again, like a curse refusing to loosen its grip.“You think this is about money?”“I want Dominic.”“He was never yours.”I stared out the window, the city lights flashing like warnings in the glass. Even the comfort of Stella’s presence beside me in the back seat couldn’t erase the cold grip around my heart. I didn’t say a word, and she didn’t push. For once, she let silence hold us.Linda wasn’t just bitter. She wasn’t just possessive.She was dangerous.And somewhere deep inside, I knew—I had just poked a maniac in the eye.When we pulled into the driveway, I stepped out slowly, clutching my coat tighter around me. Stella said something about needing to check on Kai. I nodded absently and made my way toward the house, my heels sounding sharper than usual against the marble floor.I did

    Suzanne's pov:The wind whispered across the rooftop like it knew the secrets of the night.I stared at Linda, her golden hair shimmering under the dim rooftop lights of the abandoned penthouse we traced her to.We waited for Tavon to leave, I felt this should be handled by women without any man interfering She leaned on the rail like a goddess of destruction, sipping something pink and poisonous-looking.Behind her, the city lights blinked like dying stars, nothing but distant witnesses.She hadn't even flinched when I walked in."Well, if it isn't Mrs. Khan," Linda purred, turning slightly, her sea-blue eyes glinting like blades. "How's the billionaire husband doing? Still, panting after you like a desperate fool? Oh, I just remembered, he can’t even move."I ignored the venom, stepping forward and unzipping the sleek black leather bag I carried."Linda," I said, my voice low but steady, "take the money.

It was supposed to be one of those rare peaceful afternoons.And someone had filmed it.My jaw clenched as I yanked the phone closer. The footage zoomed in on my face at the end, a slow, eerie close-up before the screen went black. Then—two words appeared in red font.“You're next.”I didn’t speak for a long time. The air in the hospital room felt heavier than before. Dominic lay behind me, still unmoving, monitors beeping a rhythm that didn’t match the one hammering in my chest.I turned to Stella, my voice low. “I need a name.”Her brow furrowed. “What?”“Who do we know that can trace this number? GPS it. Run facial recognition, hell, I don’t care, just someone who can track down where that video came from.”Stella hesitated. “There’s someone. I used him before when my ex was… shady. He’s off-grid, paranoid as hell, but he’s good.”I nod

    Stella's pov:After I said the words, they hit me. The only thing I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat.My fingers trembled beside me, my eyes darting everywhere, but not actually picking any view.Confusion clouded my vision, and I blamed myself for what was happening. I asked her to marry him to save her son. But now, the pain it was feeding her, hurt me more.“I need to use the restroom,” I said, turning to Suzanne whose thoughts were also clouded. She looked lost but nodded to me, so I picked up my bag, and rushed out.I walked the halls of the hospital till I located the restroom. The moment I got in I found myself a toilet and locked myself in.My hands flew to my head as it dawned on me that my friend was in a huge mess, and I didn't know how to be of assistance to her. Tears flowed from my eyes unconsciously, as I tried to gather momentum to be strong at this moment.I blinked for a few seconds and flushed the toilet. After which I walked out and washed my face.
