Dominic's pov:

The morning felt colder than it should have, the weight of everything settling heavier on my chest as I slipped out of the bed, careful not to disturb Suzanne.

Her breath was steady, and slow, a serene rhythm that felt out of place in the chaos of my mind.

I paused for a moment, staring at her, her soft face glowing under the morning light. She looked so peaceful. Too peaceful.

A part of me wanted to stay, to hold her, to believe in what we had—believe in her. But the gnawing feeling inside of me, the doubts about her loyalty, twisted like a knife in my gut.

I had to know. And this was the only way.

The decision had been made. There was no going back now.

I grabbed my things, made sure I was as quiet as possible, and left the bedroom, closing the door softly behind me.

The house felt too big today, like it was swallowing me whole. I made my way downstairs, moving through the quiet halls until I reached the front door. I didn’t look back.

The cold air outside hit me

    Suzanne’s pov:I felt like I was losing my mind.The moment I ended that call, something inside me shifted. A crack. A splinter in my trust, in my certainty, in everything I thought I knew.Tavon’s voice still rang in my ears, dripping with regret, with longing, with something almost… manipulative."There are things about Dominic that you don’t know."I squeezed my eyes shut, gripping the bathroom counter as I tried to steady my breath.It wasn’t true. It couldn’t be true.But the seed of doubt had already been planted, and no matter how hard I tried to push it away, it grew, twisting its roots around every unanswered question I had ever ignored.I stared at my reflection. My face looked the same, but I felt different.I tried to brush it off. Tried to tell myself that Tavon was just playing mind games, trying to get under my skin, to worm his way back into my thoughts. And yet…Dominic was secretive.That was something I had accepted long ago.But now, I couldn’t stop asking myself,

    Tavon’s pov:Suzanne was predictable.It was one of the things that used to frustrate me, but now, it worked in my favor. She had a strong sense of loyalty, a soft spot for the people she loved. And if she thought someone she cared about was in trouble, she wouldn’t think twice before running to them.That was exactly what I was counting on.I leaned against my desk, phone in hand, scrolling through my contacts until I found the name I was looking for. A smirk tugged at my lips as I hit the dial.The call connected almost immediately.“You owe me for this,” the man on the other end muttered, his voice low and gruff.“I always pay my debts,” I replied smoothly. “Just make sure it’s convincing. She can’t suspect a thing.”“She’s smart.”“I’m smarter.”There was a pause before he sighed. “Fine. It’ll be done within the hour.”I hung up, rolling my shoulders as anticipation settled into my bones. Suzanne would take the bait. She wouldn’t be able to help herself.And when she did, I’d be

    Suzanne’s pov:The moment I heard the car pull into the driveway, my heart raced in anticipation.I stood in the living room, wringing my fingers together, trying to put my thoughts in order.I needed to tell him everything. I needed to tell him about Tavon, about the things he said, about how I shut him down and warned him to stay away.But the second Dominic walked in, all my words disappeared.His eyes met mine, dark and searching, yet warm—so warm. He looked at me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered.I took a deep breath, trying to find my voice. “Dominic, I—”But before I could say another word, he crossed the space between us in two powerful strides, cupped my face in his hands, and silenced me with a kiss.A deep, slow, breathtaking kiss.It wasn’t rushed. It wasn’t desperate. It was steady. Certain.It was home.His lips moved against mine, melting away my worries, my tension, my need to explain.I sighed into him, gripping his shirt as he pulled me closer.Wh

    Dominic’s pov:The warmth of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft golden glow over the room.I shifted slightly, feeling the comforting weight of Suzanne against me. It was unusual for me to still be in bed at this hour, but today… today, I had no desire to leave.I watched her as she slept, her long lashes fluttering slightly, lips parted in the soft rhythm of her breathing. Peaceful. Beautiful. Mine.Mine.The word settled in my chest, heavy and warm.For the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to truly bask in the feeling of having her beside me. No threats. No tests. No Tavon lurking in the shadows. Just her.A strand of hair had fallen across her cheek, and I reached out, gently tucking it behind her ear. She stirred, mumbling something incoherent before blinking her eyes open.For a second, she looked confused—probably because I was still in bed. Then, slowly, a sleepy, heart-melting smile spread across her lips.“You’re still here,”

    Dominic’s pov:The night unfolded slowly, the kind of peace that settles deep into your bones.Suzanne and I were wrapped up in the soft warmth of each other's arms, her body pressed against mine in a way that felt completely natural—as we’d always belonged this way.The quiet of the room, the soft crackle of the fire, and the deep rhythm of her breathing were the only things that mattered.I kissed her forehead gently, still feeling the aftershocks of that moment, the weight of everything we’d shared today. There was something undeniable about the way Suzanne fit into my world like she was always meant to be here.I let my thumb trace small, slow circles against her back, enjoying the way her muscles relaxed under my touch. She shifted slightly, curling closer to me, and I could feel the soft flutter of her breath against my neck.“I can’t believe how perfect today was,” she murmured, her voice still heavy with the comfort of the day.I smiled, brushing a stray strand of hair from

    Dominic's pov:Suzanne and I sat at the kitchen table, a cosy spread of breakfast in front of us.I watched her sip her coffee, her eyes still sleepy but full of that quiet grace I had come to adore.The scent of fresh pancakes filled the air, and I felt an overwhelming sense of peace as I looked at her.I hadn’t been able to spend this much time with her in days, and it was beginning to feel like something I didn’t want to let go of.She looked over at me, the quiet hum of the morning filling the space between us. Her fingers ran along the rim of her cup, a small frown appearing on her lips, something I noticed right away."Everything okay?" I asked, my voice soft. concern, already bubbling up inside me.She smiled gently, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. "Yeah. Just thinking about today."I raised an eyebrow, setting my fork down. "What’s today?"She glanced at me, her fingers now tracing the edge of her coffee cup absently. "My checkup. You know, the usual—just making sure e

    Dominic's pov:I stood by the window in the office, staring out at the city below. The streets were bustling with life, but inside my chest, everything felt still. Suzanne had left for her checkup, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.I had barely been able to focus the past couple of days—working from home had been a welcome distraction, but I knew I couldn’t stay away for much longer. But today, the thought of leaving her alone was gnawing at me. She was pregnant with our child, and everything had felt so fragile lately.She had insisted that I go back to work. The way she’d smiled, that soft, understanding smile, had made me feel torn. She didn’t want me hovering, and I respected that. But still... a part of me wanted to keep her close, to be the one taking her to every doctor’s appointment and holding her hand through everything.I picked up my phone, seeing her text from a few minutes ago. I’m fine, don’t worry. She was always so strong, always so com

    Dominic’s pov:The drive to the hospital was the longest of my life.My knuckles were white on the steering wheel as I weaved through traffic, barely aware of the horns blaring around me. My mind kept replaying the officer’s words.‘Unconscious. Run off the road.’Was it just an accident? Or was this something more?A sickening dread curled in my stomach.I pulled into the hospital parking lot so fast that I nearly clipped the curb. Throwing the car into the park, I jumped out, not even bothering to lock it.I rushed through the hospital doors, scanning the crowded reception area with frantic eyes.“Suzanne Khan,” I barked at the nurse behind the desk. “She was in a car accident. Where is she?”The woman gave me a wary glance before quickly checking the system."She was brought in a few minutes ago," she said. "She’s in the ER. Take the hallway to the left and check in at the nurses’ station."I didn’t wait for more instructions. I was already moving, my heart slamming against my rib

    Hi my loves, thank you for your consistent support!!! I do hope you love this story. Beware of juicy scene in this chapter. Enjoy… Suzanne’s pov:I blinked against the glow, shifting slightly, warmth pressing against my skin. The air was thick with quiet—too still, too charged.Dominic was still asleep.I turned my head to study him, my gaze trailing over the sharp angles of his face, the slight furrow of his brow even in rest. He was always thinking, always calculating—never at ease. But now, in this moment, he looked... human.Something inside me stirred, something restless, something aching.I swallowed, shifting again, my breath coming just a little faster.Everything felt heightened of late. My emotions, my senses, my body’s every reaction.Maybe it was the pregnancy.Maybe it was the fact that Dominic had come back—not just physically, but in a way I hadn’t expected.The way he had looked at me last night lingered.The way his voice had softened when he told me I didn’t have

    Dominic’s pov:The drive home was quiet.Suzanne sat beside me, staring out the window, lost in thought. She didn’t push for a conversation, didn’t try to fill the silence with pointless words. And strangely, I appreciated that.I rested my elbow against the car door, massaging my temple. My body was recovering, but my mind… It was a battlefield.Too many thoughts. Too many memories clawing at the edges.Every time my gaze flicked toward Suzanne, something tightened in my chest. She had fought for me—without hesitation, without question. And now she was here, sitting beside me as if it was the most natural thing in the world. As if I was someone worth saving.I let out a slow exhale and turned back to the window.She doesn’t know.And that truth sat heavy in my gut.I wanted to tell her. To confess everything, to explain how this all began, how her son’s illness wasn’t what she thought it was. But the words never came.Because if I told her the truth now, what would she do? Would she

    Suzanne’s pov: The doctors did one more check-up on Dominic and he was cleared to leave, I made sure all his belongings were packed properly. “ Suzanne, we are ready to go,” Stella said as I placed the blanket in the box. “Please can you tell Desmond and Ford to come help me carry the boxes”“Yeah sure thing.”“You know the maids would have done this right?” Dominic said as he came out of the bathroom. “Yes, but I wanted to make sure I got everything”. I said as I closed the box, “How are you feeling?” “For the hundredth time Suzanne, I am fine, perfectly fine. I just want to ma-”“Boss, we are ready” Of course, Ford had to interrupt. “Good to have you back my man,” Desmond said as he entered the room. “Stella said you needed help with the boxes” “Yes please”. News of Dominic’s recovery had already circulated everywhere, it was posted all over social media, TV stations and newspapers.By the time we stepped outside the cameras started flashing. “Mr Khan, it's good to have you

    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

    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

  • Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival   Chapter 85: “Linda Is Onto Dominic”

    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
