ALIRA'S POV

Betsy gasped, stumbling back a few steps.

Her hand flew to her cheek, eyes wide with shock.

"You hit me? Are you insane?!"

I stared at her, breathing hard.

My palm still tingled from the contact, but I didn’t regret it. Not one bit.

"You deserved it," I said flatly. "For standing there, smirking, while Mom slapped me…For acting like you’re the queen of the world just because you’re getting married to Liam."

"You're just jealous…That’s all this is about."

"Jealous?" I laughed bitterly.

"You think I want your life? A man who can’t even tell the difference between love and convenience? A family that only calls me when they want something? Please."

"Alira, enough!" my mother shouted.

I turned to her, still seething.

"No, not enough….I’ve had enough of you. L..Of pretending.. Of playing the good daughter."

Her lips thinned.

"If your father could see you now…."

"He did see me," I snapped.

"That’s why he gave the company to me, not you….He saw through everything, even if

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

    BETSY'S POVI couldn’t get Alira out of my head.The way she stormed out of the house earlier, the look on her face... something wasn’t right…I was pacing around my room when I went into my mother's room.Her door was still slightly open.Curiosity took over.I stepped inside quietly as I looked around for the remaining letters and that’s when I saw them.I picked one up, quickly scanning the words."He knew... he knew all along... and he said nothing..."My heart skipped.Another paper read: "I don't understand what's happening to me…it feels like my accident wasn't a coincidence.”I blinked rapidly."You should really learn how to knock," a voice behind me said.I jumped. It was Mom, standing by the door with a raised brow and a glass of wine in her hand."I didn’t hear you come in," I said, dropping the papers like they were burning my fingers.She walked in and shut the door behind her."What did you see?" she asked, her tone almost bored."Just... not…Alira's writing…I think she

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

    ALIRA'S POV "I am sorry about what I said to you Alec and also, it's time to fix a date for our wedding.”The line went quiet for a few seconds but I could hear him breathing on the other end.“Are you being serious right now?” he asked, his tone instantly shifting from anger to suspicion.“I am,” I replied, doing my best to sound sure, even though every word felt like swallowing nails. “I don’t want to delay it anymore.”He let out a low chuckle. “Well, it’s about time…. I’ll talk to my parents today…We can sit down with your mom tomorrow to finalize things.”“Alright,” I said softly.The call ended, and the moment it did, I dropped the phone on the couch and leaned back, staring blankly at the ceiling. I had just agreed to marry a man I hated…a man who who let me die because it benefitted him. But this time, I wasn’t the same Alira…I wasn’t his pawn.This time, I was playing a very different game.I freshened up and decided to leave Liam’s place before he threw me out like yest

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER SIXTEEN

    ALIRA'S POV “You’re not the same, are you?” Liam asked again as he gazed intensely at me. “What?” I asked in Confusion.“You used to be... full of life…Fire. Now you’re just…hollow…what happened to that fire???”I clenched my fists. “I’ve been through things you wouldn’t understand.”“Try me.” he said as I looked away. “I can’t.”We stood in silence for a long time.Finally, he spoke again with a voice colder. “You can stay tonight…That’s all. Tomorrow, you leave.. I’m not your safety net, Alira. Not anymore.”I nodded slowly as my heart sank. “Thank you.”He walked away without a word and I could hear the shutting of a door so loud that the entire house shook. I lay on the couch, wide awake.The apartment was quiet, but my mind wasn’t.I thought about the message.I thought about Liam’s words.I thought about the way he looked at me like he loved me once but hated me now.How much of my past had I forgotten?And why did Liam seem to remember more than I did?I couldn’t sleep.

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER FOURTEEN

    ALIRA'S POV I honestly froze the moment I saw it.Under the soft light of early evening, it was clear as day. The words written on it made my heart thud against my ribs:“You shouldn’t have said anything...Trust no one.”My hands trembled as I reached for it. I read it again, but slower this time. There was no signature, no hint of who it came from…Just those haunting words.I quickly glanced around, scanning the quiet street.Was someone watching me?A cold chill ran down my spine. I wrapped my arms around myself and stepped back into the house, locking the door behind me. My chest felt tight. If someone knew… if someone knew I had come back from the dead, everything could fall apart.The plan I was carefully putting together….the revenge, the silence, the mind games…it could all crash.I took the note with me, placing it on the kitchen counter as my thoughts ran wild.Who knew? How did they find out? Were they testing me?I needed answers and I needed something to calm my tho

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER THIRTEEN

    ALIRA'S POV “Are you actually serious Alira or you are just playing with me??" Iris asked with a confused expression on my face.The expression on my own face looked more confusing than hers because I couldn't remember anything.“I can't seem to remember anything about my college days Iris…it just happened and I don't know what's wrong with me.” I said as I lied.As much as Iris was my best friend, I couldn't just up and tell her that this was my second life and that I died in my previous life and was reborn…no one would actually believe such.“Are you serious?? Why didn't you visit a hospital?? To get checked out??" “I was going to do that but then I thought again that Maybe my memories will come back with time..”"Babygirl, you told me a lot of things that transpired between you and Liam and even some Intimate details about you both.”"Intimate details?? What do you mean, Iris??”"Liam was your first kiss and he was the one who took away your innocence." Iris said as I looked at h
