THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
ALIRA’S POVDarkness came first..then voices and then memory.Not the kind that arrived gently.The kind that dragged me by the throat back into a moment I had spent every waking day trying not to relive.In the dream, I was back in that house.The old staircase stood before me exactly as I remembered it…wide, polished, elegant, and cursed.Every detail looked painfully real.Then Alec’s voice behind me was sharp and angry.“Stop acting like a maniac and tell me what you heard!! Alira…please listen to me!! I swear I didn't mean to hurt you….Alira?? Alira??” I turned in the dream exactly as I had done that day in my previous life.His face was blurry at first, then clearer.The same face I had once loved enough to die for.The words were unclear now, swallowed by dream haze, but the feeling remained vivid..the anger, the betrayal, the exhaustion.Then I turned toward the stairs.A hand behind me.A sudden force.A shove.My body lurched forward.The terrifying emptiness beneath my fee
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN
ALIRA’S POVMorning arrived with a dull ache behind my eyes and a stronger ache inside my thoughts.For a few seconds after opening my eyes, I forgot Alec was still in my house then I heard movement from the living room as I sat up immediately.The memories of last night returned one after another: his drunken answers, his careless laughter, his body collapsing across my couch while I stood there wondering whether I had learned anything useful at all.I wrapped a robe around myself and stepped out of the room.Alec was already awake.He stood near the couch, one hand pressed to his forehead, the other adjusting his shirt like a man trying to gather his dignity after a bad night.When he saw me, he sat up straight.“Morning.”His voice sounded rough and I folded my arms.“You look terrible.” I said as he gave a tired smile.“I feel worse.”His eyes moved briefly around the room, perhaps trying to remember exactly how the night had ended.Then he cleared his throat.“I should leave.”“S
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER SIXTY SIX
ALIRA’S POVBy the time I returned home from the hospital, my head felt heavier than my body.The doctor’s words refused to leave me.“The hero in your previous life may become the villain in this one.”That single sentence had followed me all the way home like a shadow.I dropped my handbag on the table and stood still in the middle of the living room, staring at nothing.If I wanted to survive, then I could not afford blind revenge.I needed certainty and needed proof and proof could only come from testing the people around me one after another.Alec was the first name that came into my mind.Not because I trusted him but because he had once stood beside my death wearing concern like borrowed clothing.If he had returned too, then somewhere beneath that calm face would be cracks.And tonight, I intended to find them.The first thing I did was send him a message.“Come over tonight…I cooked.”His reply came almost immediately.“Are you serious?”I stared at the screen before typing b
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE
AlIRA’S POVThe doctor’s question did not register immediately.It just hung in the air like something unreal.I stared at him, certain I had heard wrong.My fingers tightened around the edge of the hospital bed.“What did you say?”The doctor did not look amused.His expression remained calm for someone who had just asked a question capable of stopping my heart.He adjusted the file in his hand and repeated himself slowly.“I asked... How long have you been reborn?”For a second, I forgot how to breathe.The room suddenly felt smaller as everything blurred.I forced out a laugh, though it sounded weak even to my own ears.“I think you’re mistaken.”“I’m not.”“I don’t understand what you mean.”His eyes stayed fixed on mine and that unsettled me more than if he had shouted.Because he looked like a man who already knew the answer.“I came here because I haven’t been feeling well….If this is some kind of joke..”“It isn’t.”He placed the file down gently then he pulled his chair close
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR
BETSY'S POVBy the time I reached my mother’s house, my anger had become hot and poisonous inside my chest.I didn’t knock gently.I pushed the door open and walked in like the house still belonged to me.My mother was seated in the living room, flipping through documents with her glasses low on her nose, looking far too calm for someone whose entire position had just been publicly torn apart.She looked up once then returned her eyes to the papers.“You look terrible,” she said flatly.I dropped my bag on the sofa.“Are you seriously sitting there like nothing happened?”That got her attention as she slowly removed her glasses.“Excuse me?”“Alira!” I snapped. “That’s what happened! She walked into the company like she owned the entire world and embarrassed you in front of everyone!”My mother’s jaw tightened, but she remained silent.I paced the room.“You are way too calm Mother…She had documents!!!! Real documents…Nobody questioned her. Nobody defended you…they all just sat there
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER SIXTY THREE
ALIRA’S POVPanic would not help me.That was the first thing I told myself when the sun rose the next morning.I sat in the kitchen, holding a warm cup of coffee in both hands, staring at nothing in particular. The house was quiet except for the faint ticking of the wall clock.Someone had broken into my home..someone had sent me a threat and someone knew exactly where I lived.Yet strangely… I wasn’t panicking.Maybe because panic had never saved me before.In my previous life, fear had only made me weak and blind to the real enemies around me.Not this time.This time, I will think carefully, slowly and logically.I took a sip of my coffee and leaned back in the chair.Who would want to attack me?The obvious suspects lined up quickly in my mind.My mother..betsy…Alec..Business enemies from shelving Holdings or someone connected to Alec.But something didn’t feel right.If this was about the company, it was too soon.I had only taken over the position yesterday.Corporate enemies
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
ALIRA'S POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my own reflection like I was trying to remember who I used to be. I wasn't just trying to have my revenge on whatever was done to me in my previous life…now I was trying to figure out a greater conspiracy that was done before I was killed.My
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
BETSY'S POV My Mother’s words kept echoing in my mind as I paced back and forth in my room."Remind him what he stands to lose."I couldn’t shake it.Everything was slipping through my fingers…Liam, control, even Alira was starting to come alive again, and it was pissing me off.I thought I had it
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
ALIRA'S POV “Wait what??!” I blinked at Alec, completely thrown off.My brain froze like it couldn’t process what he’d just said.Did he just say I had slept with Liam?Was that a joke? Was he making it up? Or...was it something I really didn’t remember?I stared at him, wide-eyed, feeling like th
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER TWENTY
ALIRA'S POVFor the first time in days, the house didn’t feel like a grave.Iris was here.She dropped her small overnight bag near the doorway and spun around with a bright grin on her face. “God, Alira, your place is so clean it looks like a furniture ad…. never gets old.”I laughed softly. “Th
