~Aliyah’s Pov~

The calm never lasts.

I should have known that.

By late afternoon, the sky had shifted from soft blue to a dull gray, clouds gathering as if they carried secrets of their own. I stood by the window in the sitting room, watching the wind bend the trees in the garden. The stillness from the morning had thinned, replaced by something tense and waiting.

Then I heard it.

The low, familiar sound of a car pulling into the driveway.

My body reacted before my mind did. My fingers curled s

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter One Hundred And Two

    ~Aliyah Pov~My thumb hovered over the screen for a second longer than necessary.Just a second.But it felt like the space between two cliff, the moment before a fall.The glow from the phone illuminated my face in the dim room, pale light against skin that suddenly felt too tight. My heartbeat thudded faintly in my ears. I told myself it didn’t matter. That I already knew what I would see.Still… I hesitated.Then I finally opened the messages.One by one.Cold.Demanding.The first notification expanded across the screen.> Where are you?My jaw tightened immediately. The simplicity of it made it worse. Not even a tiny bit of concern, what if I couldn't take it all and killed myself? Just a location check. A command disguised as a question.My thumb moved again.The next message slid into view.> You better come back and prepare for the press.Prepare for the press.The words felt metallic in my mouth.Not This is overwhelming, but we’ll handle it together.Not even a single attem

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter One Hundred And One

    ~Aliyah Pov~Clara’s words wouldn’t stop echoing in my head.Someone wanted to hurt you.The sentence repeated itself over and over, like a low, relentless hum beneath my thoughts. It didn’t fade. It didn’t soften. It just settled deeper.I sat there, staring at the coffee table between us as if the polished wood could offer answers. The faint reflection of my hands trembled on its surface. My fingers twisted together in my lap, knuckles brushing, palms damp. The idea that this wasn’t random, that it wasn’t some careless leak or reckless mistake, shifted something inside me.It made everything feel darker.Heavier.Intentional.“Aliyah,” Clara said gently, her voice softer now, no longer sharp with shock but careful, deliberate. “Think. Who would benefit from this?”Benefit.The word felt ugly the moment it landed.I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. My mind resisted the direction of the question at first. I didn’t want to go there. I didn’t want to believe there was a calculation be

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Hundred

    ~Aliyah's Pov~The words lined up in my mind like fragments of a story that didn’t quite belong to me. It felt unreal. Like something I had watched happen to someone else. Like a series of scenes stitched together too tightly, too quickly.My chest tightened, but I forced myself to breathe slowly, counting each inhale, each exhale, trying to keep the memories from swallowing me whole.The cab finally slowed, then stopped.I blinked, momentarily disoriented, before realizing we had arrived. I paid quickly, my fingers fumbling slightly with the cash, and stepped out onto the sidewalk.Clara’s building stood in front of me, familiar and steady.It felt like a safe haven.Familiar.Uncomplicated.A place untouched by flashing screens and public disgrace. A place where I was just Aliyah, not a headline, not a scandal.I walked up the short path to her door, my steps slower now, steadier. When I reached it, I lifted my hand and knocked twice.The sound echoed softly in the quiet hallway.A

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Ninety Nine

    ~Aliyah's Pov~I stood in front of the mirror for a long moment after changing, my fingers resting lightly on the edge of the dresser as I studied my reflection.Jeans. A simple top. Neutral. Forgettable. Nothing that would draw attention or invite a second glance. Thankfully, I had left a few clothes at his place the last time, small conveniences that now felt like lifelines.But it wasn’t enough.Not after last night.Not after that screen.Not after the internet.The thought of it made my stomach tighten. The way everything could spread in seconds. The way strangers could dissect a moment they didn’t understand. The way a single clip could become a headline, a label, an identity you never asked for.I reached into my bag and pulled out a scarf, my hands moving carefully as I wrapped it around my hair and lower face. I adjusted it twice, making sure it covered enough without looking too deliberate. Then I slid on a pair of oversized sunglasses, even though the day outside wasn’t par

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Ninety Eight

    ~Aliyah's Pov~I was lying across Dominic’s broad shoulders, my body draped over him as though I had been molded there, my head tucked securely beneath his chin. His arms circled me with an effortless strength, one hand resting at my waist, the other tracing slow, absent patterns along my back. The warmth of him seeped into me like a soft, comforting blanket, steady and grounding. I could hear the quiet rhythm of his breathing, feel the rise and fall of his chest beneath my cheek. It was steady. Reassuring. Real.The world outside no longer existed.Breakfast had long been finished, the plates rinsed, the coffee cups abandoned on the counter, but neither of us had felt any urgency to move. Now we were just… here. Together. The silence between us wasn’t awkward or heavy; it was full, rich with unspoken understanding. The morning light pooled softly around us, spilling through the blinds in lazy streaks that painted warm lines across the couch and brushed against his shoulders. Dust mot

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Ninety Seven

    ~Aliyah's Pov~I went back to sleep for a while, letting the lingering warmth of the sheets and the memory of Dominic’s closeness carry me into a light, unsteady rest. When I woke up again, the bed beside me was empty. The sudden absence of him sent a strange, hollow pang through my chest, and for a moment, I just lay there, listening to the quiet of the room, trying to steady my breathing.After a few minutes, a familiar rumble of hunger reminded me that I hadn’t eaten since last night. Carefully, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood, stretching, feeling the soft ache in my muscles from sleeping in the strange comfort of his arms. My bare feet met the cool floor, and I moved toward the kitchen almost instinctively, guided by the smell that had reached me even from a distance: coffee, warm, earthy, and inviting, mingling with the faint sweetness of toasted bread.The morning light filtered through the blinds, painting stripes across the kitchen floor like liquid gold. It
