THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER FORTY ONE
ALIRA'S POV The soft hum of the rain was the first thing I heard when I woke up.It wasn’t violent anymore, just quiet, steady, like the world was trying to wash away what happened last night.But nothing could.Not the storm, not the sunrise, not even time.I blinked, staring at the ceiling for a few seconds before I dared to move. My body felt heavy, like every nerve remembered what it shouldn’t.The faint scent of Liam lingered in the air soap, cedar, and something darker.My fingers clenched the sheet.The images from last night came rushing back in flashes…the rain, his hands, the way he said my name like it was both a question and a promise.And then his words…“That’s the problem, Alira. I do.”My heart ached just remembering it.I sat up slowly.The towel he had wrapped around me lay crumpled on the floor. My dress was still damp… hung neatly on the chair across the room. Liam must have done that…He always did things quietly, like he didn’t want to admit he cared.I looked
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER FORTY
LIAM'S POV The sound of knocking pulled me out of my thoughts.At first, I ignored it, thinking maybe it was the rain hitting the door but then it came again soft, desperate, uneven.It was late, and after everything with Betsy, the last thing I wanted was another disturbance. I moved toward the door, half-expecting to see her again.But when I opened it, my breath caught.There she was.Alira.Standing in the pouring rain, her hair plastered to her face, her dress soaked through, clinging to her body like a second skin. Her eyes… God, those eyes…they were full of something I couldn’t read. “Alira?” I whispered, disbelief heavy in my voice.She didn’t speak at first.She just stood there, breathing hard, rain running down her cheeks like tears.“Why are you…” I started, but stopped. Without thinking, I reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her inside.The moment her cold fingers touched mine, my pulse jumped.She shivered as I shut the door behind her. Water dripped from her
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
ALIRA'S POV Since the moment Alec said he was going to borrow some money for our wedding, I knew something didn’t add up about him.For weeks, I’d tried to ignore the feeling, to believe that maybe my mind was just overthinking things again but deep down, I knew the truth… I’d been with Alec once before in another life…. I’d seen how good he was at pretending.And now, it felt like history was repeating itself.He claimed to be struggling… said his company was running low on funds, that he needed some help until things picked up again but the man I knew from before wasn’t the kind to go broke. He was greedy, yes, manipulative, yes, but never poor.In my last life, I didn’t see it until it was too late.He had accounts, properties, and investments I didn’t even know existed all hidden behind fake names and other people’s hands.I had died not realizing how much he had stolen from me.Not this time.This time, I was going to find out everything.That morning, I sat in my office, lapto
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
LIAM'S POVI wanted her and I wanted Alira so badly that it hurt.The moment she left, silence filled the house.It wasn’t just quiet but it was haunting. Her scent still lingered in the air, soft and warm, like vanilla mixed with danger. I could still taste her on my lips, the ghost of that kiss that refused to fade.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth in the living room.“What the hell did you just do, Liam?” I muttered to myself.That kiss wasn’t planned. It wasn’t supposed to happen but when her eyes looked into mine, it was full of unspoken words and I lost control. Every wall I built crumbled and every reason I had to stay away from her disappeared.Now she was gone, and I was standing here, burning from the inside out.I tried to distract myself as I picked up a glass, poured some whiskey, and took a long sip but it didn’t help. I could still feel her breath against my neck and my pulse refused to calm. My body wanted her but my mind screamed that I shoul
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN "Then take me Liam.” I whispered softly as Liam took a deep sharp breath in.I could see the desire in his eyes and I knew that resisting me was going to be nearly impossible at that point.He crashed his lips back to me and kissed me roughly.It was a fast and needy kiss and it felt like the little string of self control he had was suddenly snapped.As he sucked on my bottom lip and squeezed my butt, I moaned out unconsciously.Liam's mouth suddenly left my lips as he kissed and sucked my neck softly which I was pretty sure was going to leave a hickey.“Liam." I moaned out softly.A very sharp and loud ringing tone snapped Liam and I back to reality.We tried to ignore as he continued assaulting my neck with kisses but the ringing just wouldn't stop.Liam sighed deeply as he detached his lips from my neck while we searched around for the ringing phone. Apparently, it was Liam's. “What??" He asked as he picked up the phone in annoyance. I could tell almost imm
THE WIDOW WHO NEVER WAS CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
ALIRA'S POV “I have to go somewhere for a while and I might not be back till tomorrow...will you be okay here alone??” I asked Iris."Girl, I've been alone in this house since I came here…you have been all over the place.” Iris said with a smile.I knew that behind that smile was someone who wasn't pleased with what was going on because she came to spend time with me and I wasn't giving her my attention."I promise that after tomorrow, I will spend as much time with you as possible.. I will even be your own personal leech if you want me to.” I said as we both burst into laughter."Go do your thing girl” Iris said."Thank you mama.” I responded as I gave her a soft peck on her cheeks and walked into my room changing my clothes.I was going to Liam's and I knew I had a plan for going there but it wouldn't be complete if I didn't wear a sexy dress and so I ransacked my closet until I found the perfect dress.The dress wasn't too flashy or too revealing but it clearly spelled out “notice
