Dylan's POV

The office felt unusually quiet that evening.

Not the peaceful kind of quiet that usually helped me concentrate—but the heavy kind that made every small sound stand out.

The ticking clock on the wall.

The low hum of the air conditioner.

Even the faint noise of traffic drifting up from the street twenty floors below.

I stood near the window, staring at the city skyline, but I wasn’t really seeing it.

My reflection in the glass looked calm enough—tie still neat, suit jacket resting pe

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 62

    Dylan's POVI didn’t leave that night.Not immediately.Not like I usually would.There was no urgency pulling me away.No reason to check the time.No instinct telling me I had already stayed too long.Instead, I stayed where I was.On the couch.Beside her.The apartment had settled into a soft, quiet stillness. The kind that came after a long day, when everything had slowed enough to breathe. The lights were dim now, just a single lamp casting a warm, golden glow across the room, leaving the corners in soft shadow.Aliya leaned back slightly, her shoulder still brushing mine.She hadn’t moved away.Not even unconsciously.And that stayed with me.Her presence wasn’t hesitant anymore.It wasn’t accidental.It was chosen.I turned my head slightly, watching her.Her eyes were fixed somewhere ahead, not really focused on anything in particular, her fingers resting loosely in her lap, occasionally shifting like she was still thinking through something she hadn’t fully said yet.“You’re

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 61

    Aliya's POVThe evening settled in slowly.Not all at once.Not dramatically.Just… gradually.The sunlight that had filled the apartment earlier softened into a warm amber glow, then faded into the cool blue of dusk. Shadows stretched longer across the floor, wrapping around furniture, settling into corners like they belonged there.Leo had fallen asleep on the couch.Not intentionally.He had been talking one moment about how his “garage” needed an upgrade and then his words slowed, blurred, until they stopped altogether.Now he lay curled slightly on his side, one arm tucked under his head, the other still loosely holding one of his toy cars.I stood a few feet away, watching him.There was something about this part of the day that always made me pause.Something quiet.Something fragile.The world outside didn’t stop, but inside this space, it always felt like it did.“Does he do that often?” Dylan asked from behind me.His voice was low, careful not to wake Leo.“Only when he’s p

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 60

    Dylan's POVThe drive felt longer than it should have. It wasn’t because of traffic, not because of distance, because my mind wouldn’t settle. Every red light felt unnecessary, every slow-moving car in front of me felt like an interruption I didn’t have the patience for.I wasn’t used to that.Usually, I moved through things with precision, control, distance, but this, this wasn’t something I could manage like everything else, because it mattered, more than I was used to admitting.By the time I pulled up in front of her building, the sky had already dimmed into early evening, the last streaks of sunlight fading into a deep blue that stretched across the city.I sat in the car for a second, just a second, hands still on the wheel, breathing.Then I got out.When she opened the door, everything else fell away. It wasn’t dramatic, there was no rush. No immediate movement.She just stood there.Framed by the soft light of the apartment behind her, her hair loosely pulled back, a few stra

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 59

    Dylan's POVThere’s a difference between visiting a place… and starting to feel like you belong in it.I noticed it the moment I stepped into her apartment again. It wasn’t just familiarity. It was the way my body didn’t tense.The way my eyes didn’t scan automatically like they usually did in unfamiliar spaces. The way I knew without thinking where things were: the couch, the kitchen counter. Leo’s growing construction project that now looked like it had taken over half the living room. I stepped over a carefully placed block, adjusting my stride instinctively.“Careful!” Leo called out from the floor, his hands frozen midair like I had just almost caused a disaster.“I see it,” I said.“No, you don’t,” he insisted. “That part is very important.” I crouched down slightly, studying the structure like it was something worth analyzing.“And what does this part do?” I asked.“It holds everything together.” I glanced at him.“That’s a lot of responsibility.”“I know,” he said seriously. I

  • Married by Fate, Broken by Love   Chapter 57

    Aliya's POV Morning came slowly, soft light filtered through the curtains in thin golden lines, stretching lazily across the walls and spilling onto the bed. The air carried that quiet stillness that only existed before the city fully woke up, the distant hum of early traffic, the occasional sound of a car door shutting somewhere below, faint and far away.For a moment, I didn’t move. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to hold onto that fragile space between sleep and awareness, but then, it came back.Everything from last night, the kiss, the conversation, the way I didn’t pull away. I closed my eyes briefly, exhaling slowly.“This is getting out of hand,” I whispered to myself, but the words didn’t carry the same certainty anymore, because if I was being honest. It didn’t feel like something spinning out of control.It felt like something settling into place, and that was far more dangerous. Leo’s voice broke through my thoughts not long after.“Mom!” I pushed myself

    Dylan's POVWhat again does this old man want?I asked myself as I looked at the phone blaring loudly beside my bed. It is so early for Christ's sake!Looks like he was pretty determined to wake me up from sleep because the calls did not stop. Eventually, I grabbed my phone and picked it up.“Don't

    Dylan's POVOkay, that was totally not expected. It was the last thing I would expect to come out of her mouth given the tension ongoing for a long time and all.Aliya has baggage, and I am not so sure if she was ready to open up. I could actually keep straight to the script, but I find myself gett

    Aliya's POVI keep staring at my phone long after the call ends.Even though the line has gone dead, my hand is still wrapped around it, pressed against my ear as if Dylan’s voice might suddenly come back through it. My fingers have gone slightly numb from holding the phone so tightly, but I don’t
