Delilah’s POV

My lashes fluttered open, and for a moment, I forgot where I was. The room was bathed in morning light, filtering through sheer curtains that swayed gently in the breeze.

The sheets beneath me were satin, smooth and cool against my skin, and the scent of lavender drifted through the air, sweet and calming.

Where…?

“Ah, you’re awake.”

I blinked. A man in a crisp white coat stood beside me, scribbling something on a clipboard. A stethoscope hung around his neck like a badge of calm authority.

Is this the hospital? Because a doctor's right in front of me.

“Wh-Where am I?” I croaked, my voice hoarse. My throat felt like it had been scrubbed with sandpaper.

“You’re safe,” he assured me gently, his tone soothing. “You had a rough night. The alcohol in your system was excessive. Your body went into near shock. It wasn’t just booze… there were traces of something else. Prescribed drugs, maybe. Could’ve been mixed intentionally.”

I exhaled shakily. So… it wasn’t just me being dr

  • Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother    28: His Chaos.

    Delilah’s POVI swallowed hard.“No, don’t ‘Thorne’ me.” His jaw clenched as he stepped closer again, forcing me to back into the sink. “You think you can kiss me like that, let me moan into your mouth, then run and pretend it didn’t mean anything? My fucking head is on fire, Delilah!”I looked away, unable to meet the storm in his eyes. “It wasn’t supposed to go that far. It's because.. I … it's not really a big deal.” I mumbled, flushing.His laugh was humorless. “Not really a big deal?You kissed me like you were starving. You touched me like I was yours.”I swallowed, my throat dry. “You kissed me first, Thorne.”“And you fucking kissed back,” he snapped. “You think I don’t know when a woman wants me? I could feel you, Delilah. Your body—your tits were hard against me, your thighs were trembling. You were soaking wet. I could smell you.”I gasped, heat rushing to my face.“Don’t look at me like that,” he growled. “Don’t pretend you didn’t love every second of it. You want me just a

  • Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother    27: He Devoured!

    Delilah's POVI shouldn’t have stayed. I should’ve climbed out the window or called the damn police. But how do you call the cops on your husband?Fuck. It's not going to make any damn sense.”Help my husband is chasing me with a gun, a day after our wedding.”My fingers trembled as I crouched lower behind the shelf in the study. I reached for my phone, only to see it smashed into jagged, useless pieces on the floor.“God,” I whispered. “Please. I’ll never drink wine again. Or binge chips. Just get me through this night without dying.”I wrapped my arms around my legs, curling tighter, feeling that cold hollow in my stomach, the one that only shows up when fear comes in wearing a familiar face. It reminded me of the time, back in college, Thorne chased me to the basement with a damn knife. What if he plays smart?What if he does something funny?What if the gun wasn’t a bluff? But knowing him, it's unlikely. He always carried out his threats back then. My mind went somewhere it shou

  • Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother    26: Let's Play A Game.

    Delilah’s POV: I slammed the grocery bags on the counter angrily, once I stepped into my villa. Naomi had something urgent to deal with so she left promising she'll be back. Thank goodness she's gone, I wouldn't want her to see me spiral. I was so pissed. Fucking Caleb. Fucking Cheryse. Fucking Maxwell, with his curly mop of hair and his innocent eyes. The kind of child I'd dream of having. The child I … carried and.. then lost it because of Caleb. I was spiraling, and I knew it, whiich meant one thing. Cook. When I’m pissed, I cook like I’m trying to battle my demons with diced onions and boiling oil. So I rushed to the kitchen and started cooking crazily. Shrimp pasta. Creamy chicken stew. Garlic butter naan from scratch. I roasted asparagus like it killed my dreams. I even baked lemon squares, dusting the tops with powdered sugar like snowfall over grief. By the time I was done, the kitchen looked like a food war zone. And I ate... nothing. I never eat what I stressed- co

  • Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother    25: Like A Beautiful Happy Family.

    Delilah's POV: I needed air. I needed air from him because every time I'm around him, he finds sick ways to piss me off I needed air from Thorne and his secrets and his scarred neck and his maddening eyes that said things his mouth wouldn’t. So I called Naomi, and like the beautiful, dramatic queen she was, she showed up. I think she's done touring the entire building. So it's time for me to leave. “I’m not asking,” she said, sliding into the backseat beside me. “We’re going shopping. And you’re buying me things to make up for vanishing into your emo villain marriage.” I snorted. “You don’t need me to buy you things.” “No, but it feels better when I don’t spend my money.” The convoy of matte black SUVs behind us made her blink. “Um. What the hell?” “Bodyguards,” I muttered, sighing out. Of course I'll need protection from everyone since I'm basically the most talked about. And.. also protection from people that are trying to hurt me. My mind veered to Thorne's words.

  • Revenge On My Ex-husband With His Ruthless Mafia Brother    24: Don't Go Digging.

    Delilah POV I stomped through the entire building like a woman out fot blood. I couldn't get the image of the bloody hickeys all over my freaking neck! My skin still burned, my neck littered with angry red hickeys that peeked past the stiff collar of my blouse. Perfect. A goddamn board meeting and I looked like I just got mauled by a vampire in heat. Where the hell was Thorne? He better not disappear this fucking time. I threw open doors, ignored startled employees, and kept moving until the faint sound of cutlery clinking reached my ears. The executive lounge. Of course. I burst in and there he was—sprawled out like some smug prince of chaos, devouring eggs like the world hadn’t tilted an hour ago when he put his damn mouth on me. My glare could’ve set the room on fire. He didn’t even flinch as he just kept chewing, barely acknowledging my fiery presence. I marched up to him, fists clenched. “You arrogant, territorial bastard,” I seethed, my voice low but vibrat
