ALIRA'S POV

When the call ended, I sat very still on my couch, my phone resting loosely in my hand.

Betsy, Taken alongside Alec.

If the old Alira had heard this, she would have panicked….. She would have cried…She would have rushed to the police or begged someone for help.

But this Alira?

This Alira smiled.

Slowly.

My plans were gradually falling into place and Betsy just happened to fall into one of them.

Deep inside me, something dark stirred something that had been buried under years of pain, humiliation, and betrayal.

Betsy had always stood beside Alec while he destroyed me…She had smiled while stabbing me in the back and she had enjoyed my suffering in my previous life and even up until this current moment, She still has no good intention towards me.

Now, she was scared.

Now, she was powerless.

I stood up and walked to the window, staring into the night.

My heart was beating fast, not from fear but from excitement.

I picked up my phone and dialed the kidnapper’s number.

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER FIFTY

    ALIRA'S POV I ran back outside as quietly as I could, my heart beating like a drum in my ears. After hearing what Alec just said, I didn’t want him to know I had been standing there, listening, hearing the truth.I reached the front door and quickly stepped outside. I gently closed the door behind me, then took two steps backward and pretended I had just arrived. I fixed my face into the perfect mask…soft, innocent, harmless. Then I raised my hand and knocked politely.My heart still ached, but my expression was calm.Alec opened the door almost immediately, His eyes widened in surprise.“Alira? You… you’re here?” he asked.I forced a small smile. “Yes…Can I come in?”He stepped aside. The moment I walked in, he closed the door behind me and gently held my arm, like he was trying to reassure me.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”Time to act.I took a slow breath and let my eyes water a little. “I actually came to thank you,” I said softly. “For saving me that day… when we were kid

    ALIRA'S POV The moment the masked men slammed their guns against the window, my entire body tensed. Alec sat frozen beside me, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The three men outside looked impatient, angry, and dangerous.“Get out!” one of them barked again.Alec looked at me with panic in his eyes.“Alira… just follow what they say…Don’t argue.”We both stepped out of the car slowly. The cold wind brushed my face, but the fear inside me was hotter than fire.Before we could ask any questions, one of the men grabbed Alec by the collar and another wrapped his arm around my waist, throwing me toward the van.“Let go of her!” Alec yelled.He tried to move, but a gun was shoved into his chest.“Shut up.” the kidnapper growled.Within seconds, they pushed the both of us into the back of the van and slammed the door shut. The vehicle started moving immediately, fast and rough, like they were trying to make sure we couldn’t keep track of the directio

    ALIRA'S POV For a moment, I couldn’t speak.My mother’s words kept ringing in my head like a terrible echo.All our weddings…On the same day.I opened my mouth to respond, but before my voice could escape, Liam suddenly leaned forward in his chair and spoke first.“With all due respect, ma’am,” he said firmly.“That is not your decision to make.”The room went dead silent.My mother stared at Liam like he had grown horns. “Excuse me?” she asked slowly.Liam didn’t even blink. “As long as you are not the one footing the bills for these weddings,” he continued,“You have no right to decide a date or combine anything.”My mother gasped, scandalized while Betsy jumped to her feet.“Liam!” she snapped. “Don’t talk to my mother like that…Show some respect!”Liam turned his head and looked at her with a coldness I had never seen before.“Watch your words, Betsy,” he said, voice low. “I didn’t disrespect anyone…. I only stated the truth.”“You can’t talk to her like that!” Betsy tried a

    ALIRA'S POV “Alira… please,” he whispered again, voice shaky. “Don’t marry Alec.”My mouth fell open. I didn’t know what to say and I didn’t expect this. I didn’t expect him to break like this… for me.Before I could gather myself, I noticed my neighbors’ window curtains shifting. People were already peeping.“Liam, get in,” I said quickly, pulling him inside. “Before someone sees you.”He stepped into my living room as I closed the door and leaned against it. Liam watched me like he was afraid I would disappear.“If you don’t want to get married, that’s fine..you don’t have to but marry a cheat, Alira? A man like Alec?” He took a step closer. “It’s not right.”I forced a small chuckle, shaking my head. If only he knew the truth…If only he knew that my whole plan depended on this marriage.If only he knew that I wasn’t marrying Alec out of love or obedience but revenge.He continued talking, pacing the room like a man who had lost control of his thoughts.“Ever since you showe

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER FORTY SIX

    ALIRA'S POV The morning felt heavier than usual, like the air itself carried secrets I wasn’t ready to face. I tried to stick to my normal routine..cleaning the kitchen, sorting some documents, preparing tea but even the clinking of the spoon against the cup irritated me. My mind kept drifting back to Liam, to his arms around me, to the intensity in his eyes when he promised to help me.I hated how much comfort I found in him.I hated how natural it felt.I hated… the way my heart seemed to lean toward him without my permission.I shook the thought away and focused on wiping the counter when a sharp, familiar knock echoed through the house.Not again.For a moment, I considered pretending not to be home, but I already knew who it was and avoiding him would only make things worse. With a slow breath, I walked to the door and opened it.Alec stood there, smiling like a man who had accomplished something significant. His shirt was wrinkled, he looked tired, but his eyes carried that
