~Aliyah’s Pov~

The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was the stiffness in my neck. The second was the throbbing ache in my wrist, and the third....the cold metal lock on the door staring at me.

I blinked slowly, disoriented for a moment, then everything rushed back.

The fight that occurred in the car. Me shouting, the bruises.

The night.

I sat up, breathing shakily.

Still locked in.

Still trapped.

I reached for my phone immediately.

Two percent battery.

“Great,” I whispered.

My fingers t

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

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

    ~Aliyah's Pov~The sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, spilling warm, golden light across the room. It brushed against my skin in gentle waves, coaxing my body awake in a way that felt almost too tender, too serene. I stirred beneath the sheets, stretching with a languid ease, letting my muscles unfold, feeling the softness of the cotton against my bare skin. A soft sigh slipped past my lips, unthinking, as if my body were still wrapped in the calm, weightless world of sleep. For a fleeting, blissful moment, it seemed as though nothing could touch me. The air was still. The room was quiet. The world outside could wait, and for a heartbeat, I felt… safe.Then I blinked, and reality struck like lightning.I opened my eyes.And froze.I was naked.And beside me… Dominic.The warmth radiating from his body was unmistakable, his presence pressing against mine, intimate and undeniable. Panic erupted, sudden and suffocating, like an ice-cold wave crashing over me. My hands shot up
