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.

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER FORTY NINE

    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

  • 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

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER FORTY FIVE

    LIAM'S POV The house felt too quiet.Too still.Too full of Alira.After she walked out earlier…eyes red, voice shaking, body trembling from betrayal I had stayed frozen in the middle of the living room long after the door closed behind her.Her scent still lingered on my shirt.Her sobs still echoed in my head.My hands still remembered the way she clung to me like I was the only person keeping her upright.And now…Now I was left with the impossible favor she had asked of me.Give Alec money.Money he’d use to marry her.Every part of me rejected it.My chest tightened every time I imagined handing him a single naira that would push him further into Alira’s life.But then…I remembered her the tone of her voice....broken, trembling, destroyed and her voice when she whispered:“I want him to see exactly what he lost. I want him to feel the regret burn him alive…I want Betsy to choke on it every time she looks at me.”She had never sounded so sure of anything in her life.So I sat th

  • THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS   CHAPTER FORTY FOUR

    ALIRA'S POV The rain had slowed by the time I left Liam’s house, turning into a soft mist that clung to my skin. The walk back home felt longer than usual, every step heavy with everything that had happened in the past few hours. Liam’s confession… Alec’s audacity… Betsy’s betrayal… and now, the first true crack in the game.I didn’t feel hurt.I didn’t feel heartbroken.I felt focused.Which was far more dangerous.The moment I reached my apartment, I shut the door behind me and leaned back against it, letting out a long, steady breath. The quiet in the house felt different like it was holding its breath with me, waiting for the storm I was about to unleash.I pulled my phone from my bag and dialed Alec.It rang once.Twice.On the third ring, he picked up.“Hey, sweetheart,” he said, sounding annoyingly relaxed. “Everything okay?” he asked as I smiled.“Alec, where are you?” I asked, my tone soft, sweet..exactly how he liked it.“Oh, uh…I’m on a business trip,” he said quickly….
