Chapter 59 — Three Days Before

(Zara POV)

Three days before the engagement party, I have two photographs.

The first one—the gala—is already familiar. I’ve looked at it enough times now that I don’t need to open it to remember the angle, the distance, the intention behind it. The second one arrives the next evening, from the same unknown number.

This one is different.

It’s taken outside the penthouse building.

Not inside, not close enough t

  • Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father    Chapter 60: The Engagement party eve

    Chapter 60 — The Engagement Party Eve(Dominic POV)The evening before the engagement party settles into something unexpectedly quiet.Not empty, not strained—just steady in a way that has become familiar without either of us deliberately naming it. Zara is already in the kitchen when I come in, moving through the space with an ease that still feels new in a place like this. There is nothing performative about it. No attempt to turn the moment into something softer or more significant than it is. She is simply there, finishing dinner, as though this has always been part of her life.I take my jacket off and set it aside, watching her for a moment longer than necessary. She notices, of course.“You’re staring,” she says without looking up.“I’m observing,” I reply.“That’s worse.”There is no argument in it, just a quiet exchange that settles easily between us. We eat without interruption, no calls brea

    Chapter 59 — Three Days Before(Zara POV)Three days before the engagement party, I have two photographs.The first one—the gala—is already familiar. I’ve looked at it enough times now that I don’t need to open it to remember the angle, the distance, the intention behind it. The second one arrives the next evening, from the same unknown number.This one is different.It’s taken outside the penthouse building.Not inside, not close enough to suggest access—but close enough to confirm something else entirely. The frame catches me stepping out of the car, Dominic just behind me, his hand briefly at my back again. The lighting is lower, evening shadows stretching across the pavement, but the quality is just as clean.Same eye.Same purpose.I don’t react when I see it.I save it.Then I document it properly—timestamp, source, sequence. I add it to the first one, building a file that is no

  • Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father    Chapter 58; The Photograph

    Chapter 58 — The Photograph(Dominic POV)Zara sends the photograph without commentary.No message layered with reaction. No attempt to frame what I should see when I open it. Just the image itself, followed by a second message a minute later.Sent it to Marcus too.I look at it for longer than I should need.Not because I don’t understand what it is, but because I want to understand how it was taken. Angle, distance, timing. The moment itself is clear—I remember it without effort. Leaving the gala, the room still loud behind us, her attention half on the exit, half on the event she had just finished managing. My hand at her back, not for display, not for effect. Just there.But the photograph turns it into something else.Something composed.Someone was waiting for that moment.I don’t call her first.I call Marcus.He answers immediately.“I have it,” he says before

  • Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father    Chapter 57: Eight days

    Chapter 57 — Eight Days(Zara POV)After my mother leaves the penthouse, I don’t stay.Not because I’m upset in a loud way, or because I can’t sit in that space anymore. It’s something quieter than that. I just know I need distance to think, and Dominic doesn’t try to stop me when I say I’m going to Jane’s. He looks like he wants to ask me to stay, but he doesn’t. He understands when something needs space.Jane opens the door before I knock properly, like she already knew I was coming.“You look like you’ve been thinking too much,” she says, stepping aside to let me in.“I have,” I reply, dropping my bag by the couch.We settle into the living room the way we always do, familiar without effort. I tell her everything. Not in one rush, but in pieces—the knock, my mother standing there, the way she walked in like she had a right to be in that space. What she said. What she didn’t say.Jane listens the way she always does. No interruptions, no rushing me through it.When I finish, she lea

  • Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father    Chapter 56: Dominic tells Ryan

    Chapter 56 — Dominic Tells Ryan(Dominic POV)I chose the place because it didn’t belong to either of us.Neutral ground. A restaurant Ryan liked enough to be comfortable in, but not enough to associate with anything important. Midday crowd, steady noise, people pretending their lives were ordinary. That was the point. Nothing about this needed an audience, and nothing about it needed ceremony.Ryan arrived thinking this was about Claire.He always assumes the most recent problem is the only problem.He sat down, jacket still on, scrolling his phone for a second before placing it on the table. He looked relaxed in a way that meant he was not prepared for anything difficult. I let that sit for a moment longer than necessary.“Marcus said the company issue was handled,” he said. “So I assumed this was about that.”“It isn’t,” I said.That was the first real break in his attention. He looked up properly th

  • Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father    Chapter 55 : Mother's visit

    Chapter 55 : Mother’s Visit (Zara POV) I wake up later than I mean to. Not because I’m careless, but because for the first time in days my body actually lets me rest. There’s sunlight already slipping through the curtains when I open my eyes, and for a moment I just lie there, trying to remember where I am before everything settles back into place. Dominic is already up. I can hear movement outside the room—quiet, steady, the kind of normal morning sounds that still feel slightly unreal in a place like this. When I finally get out of bed and step into the main area, I find him in the kitchen. Breakfast is already halfway set up, nothing extravagant, just simple food arranged in a way that suggests he’s been awake longer than necessary. He looks up when he hears me. “You sleep too much,” he says, but there’s no complaint in it. “I don’t,” I reply, si
