  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 227

    Aliya's POVBy the time we returned to the city that evening, exhaustion had finally begun catching up with all of us, though it was the satisfying kind that followed emotional healing rather than fear. The sun had already slipped below the skyline, leaving the streets bathed in the warm glow of streetlights and the soft shimmer of lights reflecting from office buildings. As Dylan drove us home, Martha chatted happily from the back seat about possible wedding colors, guest lists, and the increasingly ambitious plans forming inside her head. I listened with an amused smile, occasionally glancing toward Dylan, who patiently entertained every one of her ideas despite the fact that she had already changed the wedding theme at least four times during the drive. Watching the two of them banter so naturally made my heart feel wonderfully full because they had somehow become family without either of them forcing it. That quiet, effortless bond meant more to me than either of them probably rea

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 226

    Dylan's POVI thanked the elderly bookseller before purchasing the novel I had been holding, though I quietly added two more books to the stack after noticing Aliya pause in front of them earlier. She never asked for expensive gifts or expected extravagant surprises, yet I had learned that the quickest way to brighten her entire day was to place a good book in her hands. The shop owner wrapped each one carefully in brown paper before tying them together with a pale blue ribbon, smiling to herself the entire time as though she had already guessed they weren't really for me. When she handed the package across the counter, she leaned toward me ever so slightly and whispered, "Keep giving her reasons to smile." I nodded with complete sincerity because I had already decided that would be the easiest promise to keep for the rest of my life.Aliya waited patiently outside with Martha while I finished paying, and the moment I stepped through the door she looked at the neatly wrapped parcel wi

    Aliya's POVThe café gradually filled with the gentle sounds of late-morning conversation as more people wandered in from the surrounding countryside, yet somehow our little corner booth continued to feel wonderfully private. Sunlight poured through the large windows overlooking the garden, painting soft golden patterns across the wooden table between us while the scent of fresh coffee lingered comfortably in the air. I watched Dylan laugh with Martha over something I had completely missed because I had become distracted studying him again, and I couldn't help smiling to myself. It amazed me how quickly life had shifted from constant survival to moments that seemed almost impossibly ordinary. Only a few days ago, I had been terrified of what tomorrow might bring. Now I was wondering whether my fiancé preferred maple syrup or honey on his pancakes.The waitress arrived balancing three steaming plates, placing them carefully in front of us with a warm smile before wishing us a pleasant

    Dylan's POVThe news that Eleanor intended to attend the wedding somehow made everything feel even more real, and I watched Aliya's face brighten with the kind of joy that could never be manufactured or rehearsed. She smiled with her entire heart, her eyes sparkling beneath the morning sun as she listened to Martha relay the details of the conversation. Only a few days earlier, the possibility of meeting Eleanor had felt almost impossible, buried beneath decades of secrecy and unanswered questions. Now she wasn't simply alive. She was becoming part of our future, and that thought carried a quiet beauty none of us took for granted. I realized then that healing rarely arrived all at once. Instead, it came through moments exactly like this, where yesterday's impossible dream quietly became tomorrow's ordinary plan.Martha placed the phone on speaker so Eleanor could greet both of us properly, and her cheerful voice immediately filled the peaceful lakeside. "I hope I'm not interrupting an

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chater 223

    Aliya's POVFor several long moments after the question left my mouth, none of us spoke because the idea seemed to settle naturally between us, quietly asking to be considered rather than defended. I watched Dylan's face carefully, searching for the slightest sign of hesitation, but instead I saw something wonderfully familiar. His eyes softened in exactly the same way they had beneath the chapel when he told me he didn't want to wait for the perfect moment anymore. It wasn't excitement born from impulse or impatience. It was the calm certainty of someone who finally understood what mattered most. We had spent months postponing our happiness because survival demanded it. Now survival was no longer the goal. Living was.Dylan reached for my hand and gently turned the engagement ring beneath the morning sunlight, admiring the way it caught the golden rays reflecting across the lake. He smiled to himself before lifting his gaze back to mine, and there was so much tenderness in his expres

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 222

    Dylan's POVI stood near the entrance of the chapel long after Aliya and Martha disappeared along the moonlit garden path, and I found myself smiling without any particular reason other than the quiet contentment settling over me. The investigation continued behind me as officers carried evidence containers toward waiting vehicles, photographers documented the final rooms beneath the chapel, and prosecutors arrived to begin cataloging everything that would soon become part of one of the largest criminal cases in the country's history. Ordinarily, I would have been involved in every conversation, offering resources, coordinating logistics, and making certain nothing slipped through the cracks. Tonight, however, I discovered that my priorities had shifted in a way that felt both unfamiliar and completely natural. For the first time in years, I wanted my life to revolve around one person instead of one responsibility. The realization didn't frighten me. It felt like the future I had unkn
