~Aliyah’s POV~

The house was quiet, but it wasn’t peace. It was the calm of predators circling. Every corner, every hallway, every shadow seemed like it belonged to Ronald.

I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the contract lying on the desk. Signed. Sealed. My obedience is officially bound on paper. The ink had barely dried, but it felt like chains had replaced my bones.

My heart skipped when my phone rang, but relief came washing over my face when I saw the caller ID. It was Clara.

Her voice came soft, through the phone and I wished she was right here with me. “Aliyah, how are you doing?”

I steadied my breath to check if I could hear any sound of footsteps. Ronald must not hear me taking to Clara.

“I, I don't know how I feel but.... I don’t want trouble,” I murmured, my voice shaking.

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Forty Four

    ~Dominic's Pov~I had told myself, sworn to myself, again and again, that the only way to keep Aliyah safe was to stay the hell away from her.Distance.Silence.Discipline.Cold, ironclad rules I repeated like scripture. Like commandments carved into my ribs. Every time her face flickered behind my eyes, every time her voice threaded through my memory, every time the ghost of her mouth hovered close enough to taste, those were the words I clung to.Rules I had sworn I’d obey.And yet here I was, feet glued to the hallway outside Clara’s apartment, like some pathetic moth already singed but still hypnotically drawn to the flame that burned him.It wasn’t smart. It wasn’t safe. It wasn’t right.But I couldn’t stop myself.I stood in front of the door, hands curled into fists so tight my knuckles ached. My breath slipped out uneven, shaky, betraying the storm roiling inside me. From behind the door, I heard laughter, soft, feminine, familiar.Her laughter.It cut straight through me.It

    ~Aliyah's Pov~I got up and went to the door.Each step felt heavier than the last, my legs stiff, my body moving on instinct rather than choice. My heart pounded loudly against my chest, so hard I was sure Clara could hear it. The sound filled my ears, drowning out everything else.The only person I could think of right then was Ronald.My mind latched onto his face, his voice, the cold certainty in his eyes. If he was the one standing on the other side of that door, there would be trouble. Not loud, immediate trouble, but the kind that followed you long after the door was closed.I reached the door and paused, my fingers hovering for a second before wrapping around the knob. My palm was damp. I turned it slowly, just enough to crack the door open.And then I saw him.The face staring back at me was so unexpected that my breath hitched.Dominic.For a heartbeat, I couldn’t move or speak. My mind scrambled, trying to reconcile the image in front of me with the fear I’d been bracing fo

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Scandalous Revenge   Chapter Forty Two

    ~Aliyah’s POV~I woke up with the strange feeling that something was wrong.Not the loud kind of wrong. Not the kind that jolts you awake with shouting or slamming doors or chaos crashing into your senses. This was quieter. Heavier. The kind of wrong that settled on your chest like a weight before your eyes even opened, making it hard to breathe for a moment.I lay there, still, trying to place it.For a brief second, I forgot where I was. The ceiling above me looked unfamiliar, the light filtering in at the wrong angle. Confusion fluttered through my mind, slow and groggy.Then my senses caught up.I smelled Clara’s detergent, clean, floral, comforting. I heard the faint, steady hum of the fan somewhere in the room, its rhythm soothing and constant. I felt the unfamiliar softness of the mattress beneath me, the sheets not arranged the way I usually did them.I was still at Clara’s.Relief washed through me, warm but fragile, like something that could shatter if I held it too tightly.

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

    ~Dominic's Pov~I rushed out after collecting my thoughts properly, and I met with someone I trusted.That alone narrowed the list down to almost nothing. Trust wasn’t something I handed out easily, especially not with the Voss name hanging over my head like a warning label. But he was one of the few people outside that world who understood discretion. No questions asked. No unnecessary loyalties. He dealt with facts, not gossip, and silence was his strongest currency.We sat across from each other in a quiet, neutral space. No records. No witnesses. The kind of place where conversations disappeared the moment they ended.“She can’t stay where she is forever,” he said bluntly, leaning forward with his elbows on the table. There was no sympathy in his tone, only realism. “He’ll drag her back.”“I know,” I replied without hesitation.The words tasted bitter, but they were true. Ronald didn’t let go of what he considered his. Time didn’t soften him, it sharpened him.“And if you step in

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

    ~Dominic’s POV~The first thing I did when I woke up was reach for my phone.Not a stretch. Not check the time. My hand went straight to the screen like it had a mind of its own, fingers already swiping, already hoping. My eyes scanned the notifications quickly, then slower, my chest tightening with every second that passed.No messages from Aliyah.I frowned, refreshing the screen once, then again, even though I knew it was pointless. I had been expecting her to reach out to me, almost certain she would after the photos were released. After everything blew up. After the damage was done.She should have said something. Anything.A knot formed in my stomach, thick and uneasy. I was very certain she was in a difficult situation now, and the bitter truth sat heavy on my tongue; it was my fault. I’d been the catalyst, whether I liked it or not.My thoughts spiraled immediately, dark and relentless.Had Ronald locked her in again?The image came too easily, too vividly. Aliyah trapped behi

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

    ~Ronald’s POV~How dare she hang up on me?The audacity of it hit me a second too late, like a slap that only started burning after the hand was gone. I stood there, phone still pressed into my ear, listening to nothing but dead air. For a moment, I didn’t even move. I just stared, stunned, as if the device itself had betrayed me.Goodbye.The words echoed in my head, slow and deliberate, each syllable sinking deeper like a calculated insult. Not rushed. Not shaky. No apology woven into it. No tremor of fear. Just that calm, infuriating tone, steady, controlled, like she was the one deciding when the conversation ended.Goodbye.My fingers tightened around the phone as I lowered it, my eyes boring into the dark screen. I willed it to light up again. Willed her name to appear, followed by some frantic excuse, some hurried explanation that would put things back where they belonged.Nothing happened.The silence mocked me.My jaw clenched so hard it ached. “It’s not even late,” I muttere
