Aliyah’s POV

I sat quietly on the bed after I was thrown in like a prisoner in my own room. I recalled how Ronald had torn the papers before me. It could have been my one chance to freedom, ripped apart like it meant nothing.

The room was very quiet, but it was suddenly disrupted by the sound that came due to the slamming of the door downstairs.

Dominic had been taken out of the house as commanded, so who was hitting the door loudly downstairs?

I exhaled deeply. Seems I was hallucinating, as I had already lost count as to how many times I had been “taught a lesson.” I had learned to endure in order to make this marriage work, to make him love me, but it wasn't working, and I am fed up. So this time around, I wasn't angry, no pacing around, no tears, no breaking of glasses, I sat down calm.

I had learned to do so as this was Ronald's favorite kind. It was the kind that didn’t need bruises to hurt, didn’t need shouting to make me flinch. It sank deeper, made me question myself, made me

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Thirty Five

    ~Aliyah’s pov~We started mixing, stirring, and arguing, our movements chaotic and uncoordinated, like two tornadoes trying to occupy the same space. Clara insisted on adding the eggs before the tomatoes; I argued they should go last. She countered with a dramatic hand wave, almost tipping the bowl in her enthusiasm. I laughed, dodging the splash just in time.“Aliyah, you’re doing it all wrong!” she exclaimed, though her eyes sparkled with amusement.“You’re the one who said this would be chaotic!” I shot back, rolling my eyes. “We’re already breaking all the rules of cooking!”We tasted, we complained, we sampled tiny bits of whatever disaster was forming in the pan. At one point, Clara dropped the spoon and gasped, her hands flying to her cheeks as if the heavens had opened.“What?” I panicked, my heart skipping a beat.She pointed at the pan, eyes wide, her excitement palpable. “Aliyah… we just invented something. I don’t know what it is, but it looks… delicious.”I stared at the

    ~Aliyah’s POV~Clara handed me a glass of water and sat beside me on the couch, her presence warm, familiar, and steady. Her eyes were soft, patient, as though she could see all the turmoil tangled inside me without me saying a word. I took the glass with trembling hands, feeling the cool weight of it against my palms.“Okay,” she breathed, her voice a soothing whisper that seemed to reach straight into my chest, “before you explode… drink.”I lifted the glass slowly, letting the water touch my lips, tasting nothing but clarity. Each sip felt like a small, tentative anchor in a storm I wasn’t quite sure I could navigate yet. My hands shook uncontrollably, but the tremors slowly faded as I tried to focus on the simple act of drinking. My breaths, ragged and uneven just moments ago, finally began to find a rhythm.Clara nudged me lightly with her elbow, her touch grounding me. “Okay. Aliyah… listen. You’re here now. You’re safe.”The words were soft, almost casual, yet they carried a we

    ~Aliyah’s POV~I just stood there after he left, frozen in the middle of the restaurant like someone had unplugged my soul. The imprint of the stranger’s lips on my cheek still tingled, light, quick, but bold enough to twist my stomach into knots.Victor.That was the name he said with so much confidence, like he expected me to recognize it.But I didn’t.Not even a little.Who the hell was he? The ice-cream cup had reduced drastically, and I must have eaten it without even tasting it. My heartbeat refused to calm, thumping hard, uneven, loud enough I felt it in my temples.I blinked, shook the fog off my thoughts, and forced my legs to move.With everything that had happened, I couldn't bring myself to go home yet. Ronald's image flashed across my face and I wondered what happened to the man I married. The Ronald I knew would never raise his hand at me, but this one did. He was slowly turning into a monster.Everything was taking a toll on me, definitely not after a stranger walked

    ~ Aliyah’s POV~I stared at the man standing in front of me, an ice cream spoon frozen halfway into my mouth. My pulse kicked hard against my ribs as he smiled, slowly, confidently, like he’d been waiting for me.“Calm down,” he said gently, the corner of his lip curling. “No need to panic.”Panic? I was beyond panic.“Don’t tell me to calm down,” I snapped, pushing my chair back a little. “I don’t know you. Who are you?”He raised his brows, amusement flickering across his face as he slipped his hands into his pockets.“Aliyah…”“Don’t call my name!” I cut in sharply, heart pounding louder. “I said, Who are you?”People at nearby tables turned briefly, but he didn’t care. If anything, he seemed entertained.“You’re tense,” he said softly. “I understand.”“You don’t!” I shot back. “So tell me who you are before I scream.”Instead of answering, he pulled the chair opposite me and sat down with the calmness of someone stepping into his own living room.“I’m Victor,” he said. “It’s nice

    ~Aliyah’s POV~His voice hung in the air between us.“Why did you lie to me?”My lips parted, but nothing came out at first. The lump in my throat was thick, painful, almost choking me.“Ronald… listen, please,” I whispered.He took one step closer.That was enough to trigger every alarm in my body.“I didn’t lie,” I rushed out, hands shaking. “I truly went to the restroom. That moment with Dominic wasn’t what it looked like. We were just…”My head snapped to the side.A sharp sting exploded across my cheek, as Ronald's hands connected to my face. My hand flew up instantly, covering the burning skin as tears sprang into my eyes.He didn’t even let me breathe before he spoke again.“My reputation,” he hissed, stepping toward me. “Do you understand what you’ve done? Do you have any idea how this makes me look?”“Ronald…”“You ruined everything!” he thundered. “A trending scandal? With my BROTHER? Do you know how humiliating this is for a man like me? For my company? For my NAME?”He gra

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

    ~Aliyah’s POV~I scrubbed the kitchen counter for the third time, even though it was already clean. My hand dragged back and forth in stiff, restless strokes. I wasn’t cleaning, I was running. Running from my own mind, from last night, from the panic and guilt tangling inside me… and from Dominic’s accidental kiss that kept replaying like a mistake I couldn’t unmake.“Focus,” I whispered to myself, scrubbing harder. “Just… focus on this.”But my thoughts slipped right past the sponge and sank straight into the memory again…his face too close, his breath mixing with mine, the startled brush of his lips. And then the shock, the silence, the way my heart lurched despite everything.I squeezed my eyes shut. “It didn’t mean anything. It shouldn’t mean anything.”The environment around me was quiet. Not uncomfortable, just gentle and it scared me.Ronald wasn’t home.A slow breath, one mixed with relief and a little guilt, left me and it softened my shoulders. At least I didn’t have to face
