ALIRA'S POV

"What can we do??” I bit out In fear as I stood up from the couch.

"Well ma'am, we have tried everything…we can see the money is being processed but how to stop it is something we can't seem to figure out."

“Don't you have a damn hacker in the company?!!!!"

“No we don't ma'am."

“Shit!!!" I bit out.

"I will get back to you soon.” I said as I hung up the call.

At that moment, I was feeling so agitated and I didn't know what to do or what to think.

I didn't know if this was the handiwork of Alec or someone else and I just kept on pacing back and forth.

Suddenly, I remember that Liam was a cyber security expert then while we were in school but I wasn't sure I had his contact.

I checked my phone and my hunch was right and so I decided to go on Google to see if I would see it but I didn't.

Out of desperation, I decided to call Betsy to get his number from her.

I called the first time and she didn't pick up her call and then I dialed her number again as she picked.

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

    ALIRA'S POV “You are awake." A voice said as I snapped my head towards the door.“Liam??" “Were you expecting to see someone else??" He asked.“What am I…I mean how did I get here??" “You don't remember??" He asked.Usually whenever a guy asks a girl if she doesn't remember what had happened between them the previous day, it only meant that something had happened.I quickly checked inside the sheets I was using to cover myself and found out I was half naked.“Did we??" I asked as I scratched the back of my head awkwardly.“If you are trying to ask if we had sex, then the answer is no.. we didn't." Liam said as he handed me a cup.“What's this??" I asked as I sniffed the content of the cup."Drink it, it will help with your hangover and when you are done, get dressed and leave.” Liam said as he was about to walk away.“Liam, wait!!" “Do you need something??" He asked as he halted his movement and turned around.“What happened?? How did I end up here??" I asked.Liam gazed intensely

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

    ALIRA'S POV“Your nightmare…I am your nightmare." I didn’t expect her to look shocked.Not because I barged into the house uninvited.Not because I caught her in bed with my dead father’s right-hand man...No.She was shocked because I interrupted her perfect little world.Her twisted fantasy where she played the grieving widow by day and shared bedsheets with the help by night.I stood there with my arms folded, glaring at the scene before me.The woman who raised me scrambled to cover herself with the blanket with her mouth parted like she wanted to defend herself. Mr. Grayson looked equally horrified, reaching for his pants like some teenage boy caught red-handed.“Why the hell are you in my house unannounced?!!” she snapped and asked for the second time like a broken record.“You make it sound like I walked into a government meeting instead of a sleazy soap opera.” I said with my voice like ice. “Relax….I’m not here for you…or your obvious company.”“Then why are you here?” she

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

    ALIRA'S POVAfter I got home from Trisha's house, I laid on my bed as I got deeper in thoughts.The more I dug into the past, the more it unraveled like a thread I was never meant to pull. Every piece of information I uncovered led to ten more questions, and somewhere deep down, I was starting to feel it…someone else knew. Someone had been watching, interfering, either to protect me… or manipulate me.I couldn’t keep wandering in the dark.I needed answers and I needed real ones.And if Liam wouldn’t tell me everything, maybe I could force the truth out by confronting him myself.I decided to go to his house.Just as I got from my bed and was dressing up, Iris came into my room.“Alira, You are back?? And you didn't even let me know." She said with a faint smile on her face.“I am deeply sorry Iris…I was just so tired…what's up??” "Nothing much…I went to visit that bastard in jail." “Wait what? you don't mean your ex do you??" “Yeahh….him...I went to tell him a piece of my mind.”

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER THIRTY

    ALIRA'S POVThe pages of my diary were beginning to look like crime scene evidence...every line, every word leading me closer to the truth.I had read it a dozen times before, but today, something new caught my eye."Alec knows...but what scares me the most is his silence…I saw him today talking to my mother and the conversation looked serious but what could they be talking about???”I froze, my fingers tightening on the edge of the paper.Those lines from the page I read were confusing as hell because why would Alec go ahead to speak to my mother even when I rejected his advances.My heart thudded in my chest.I wasn’t sure what confused me more: Alec's lack of reaction or the eerie calm that followed alongside the scheme with my mother…People who explode are predictable… People who stay silent after heartbreak? They’re dangerous.If he had an outburst with me, it would have been a lot better but the fact that he just smiled and accepted it while scheming behind my back made the stor

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

    ALIRA'S POV I sat cross-legged on my bed as my diary spread open in front of me like a portal to another life and like one I barely remembered.The pages smelled faintly of lavender and dust, and each word I read felt like pulling a thread from a sweater I had once worn but forgot.I had already combed through over half of the entries, most of them chaotic and emotional, some full of love and others brimming with fear. But I wasn't giving up..at least not now, not when everything was starting to make sense in the most horrifying way possible.My fingers trembled as I flipped another page. A paragraph was scrawled in hurried writing."I think Alec knows about Liam and me…He hasn't said anything yet, but the way he looked at me yesterday... it was different….Like I had betrayed him and like he wanted to hurt me…I can't stay here anymore…. I need to leave before it's too late."I felt the air suddenly leave my lungs."Oh my God..."My heart pounded as I kept reading."Today I finally

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

    BETSY'S POVAfter the whole Liam announcing our wedding plans and Alira doing the same too, I started feeling extremely uneasy.I stared at my phone for a long minute, fingers clenched so tightly around it that my knuckles turned white.Something wasn't right. Something about the way Liam had looked at Alira during that meeting like she still owned a part of him.No…. I wasn’t imagining it and I’d be damned if I let my perfect plans crumble because of some lingering ghost of a romance.I hit Alec’s contact and pressed the phone to my ear. He picked up after two rings."Betsy? What is it?""We need to talk," I said sharply. "I think something is going on between Liam and Alira." I said.There was a pause and then Alec chuckled. "You're being paranoid.""Am I? I definitely saw the way Liam looked at her during the meeting…. He's not over her….I can feel it.""Well, let me ease your mind then," Alec said, his voice laced with arrogance. "Alira and I slept together…we had sex!!! And
