AYAH'S POV

I laughed so loudly that I caught the attention of nearby tables. “I was just kidding! Look at your faces!” I almost wanted to hold my stomach from laughing too hard. Bryan chuckled softly beside me, clearly entertained. “Are you trying to torture me, Ayah?” Ethan asked through clenched teeth. “We’ve been together since you were eighteen. It’s impossible you were married before that.” I could hear the irritation in his voice. “Right?” I said sarcastically. “I thought you wouldn’t kno

  • The Heiress Married Her Ex-husband's Rival    Alone with him

    AYAH’S POVEthan had no choice but to leave with Mia after I declined multiple times. I didn't argue with him, I just watched him go like a scene that didn't belong to me anymore. Zarry and Zach excused themselves as they have a meeting tomorrow. It's only me and Bryan. Bryan didn’t say much either, only stayed beside me as the noise of the restaurant bar slowly softened around us. For some reason, the night felt lighter after Ethan left, even if I couldn’t explain why.Bryan ordered drinks after that. I didn’t even notice how it started, only that my glass kept getting refilled and my thoughts started feeling… slower, softer, easier to ignore. I wasn’t used to alcohol, and it hit me faster than expected. The edges of everything blurred. His voice sounded closer than it should’ve been.“Slow down,” Bryan said quietly, watching me as I leaned slightly on the table. “You don’t drink much, do you?”I frowned at my glass like it betrayed me. “It’s just juice,” I muttered, then took anothe

    AYAH'S POVNo one spoke after that. Even the people from nearby tables, who had been shamelessly listening, suddenly looked away like they wanted no part in what just happened. Ethan stared at me as if he no longer recognized the woman standing in front of him. Maybe he truly didn’t. The Ayah he knew probably would have followed him home, apologized first, and cried later. But I wouldn’t know that version of me. I don’t remember her at all. To me, she feels like a stranger wearing my face.“You’re serious,” he said at last. His voice was lower now, stripped of anger. I raised a brow. “Do I look like I’m joking?” His throat moved as he swallowed. For the first time since I woke up from that accident, Ethan looked cornered. Not furious. Not proud. Just cornered.Mia stepped closer to him. “Ethan, let’s go. She’s only doing this because she wants attention.” I laughed softly. “You really think too highly of yourself.” She stiffened. “Excuse me?” “If I wanted attention,” I said, meeting h

    AYAH'S POVI laughed so loudly that I caught the attention of nearby tables. “I was just kidding! Look at your faces!” I almost wanted to hold my stomach from laughing too hard. Bryan chuckled softly beside me, clearly entertained. “Are you trying to torture me, Ayah?” Ethan asked through clenched teeth. “We’ve been together since you were eighteen. It’s impossible you were married before that.” I could hear the irritation in his voice. “Right?” I said sarcastically. “I thought you wouldn’t know that. Is there something you know about me?” His jaw tightened. “I don’t need to explain everything to you.” Then his eyes darkened. “You left me for her, right? Now just leave. Or I will.”“Ayah, don’t be ridiculous. Can you please stop embarrassing me? Let’s go home.” He reached for my wrist and tried to pull me away. I immediately removed his hand. “Don’t touch me.”The table went silent. Even Mia looked stunned. Ethan stared at me like I had just slapped him in public. “I’m your husband,”

    AYAH'S POV“Ayah, who are you with?”I heard a voice behind my back.It was Ethan—with Mia, his childhood sweetheart.I looked at them. Well, they looked good together, not gonna lie. Why did they drag me into their mess?“Ayah, I’m sorry if I called Ethan to rescue me. I didn’t know you two were on a date. I’m so thankful he came,” she said and linked her hand around his arm.I noticed Ethan didn’t even bother telling her that his wife was here and the former lover should know how to behave.“You left your wife to be with your childhood sweetheart? That’s insane,” Zarry said bitterly, making all of us look at her.“Oh, Zaryanna Russell, you’re here!” Mia said as if she was happy to see my sister.“Yeah, and so is my brother,” Zarry replied sarcastically.Mia immediately stopped smiling. I saw the change in her expression.“What are you doing here, Ayah? Why are you with the Russell family?” she asked as if we were close. As if she wasn’t hanging onto my legal husband.So... she didn’

  • The Heiress Married Her Ex-husband's Rival    12 years

    AYAH'S POV “For twelve years?” I asked in disbelief. In my last memory, I was the one deliberately chasing Bryan. Me? Reject Bryan Mitchell’s proposal? That was insane. I had been chasing him for a year, so how were they saying he had courted me for twelve years already? I didn’t know he was that interested in me. “Bryan, I’m so confused with what they’re saying. I can’t remember,” I said. My tears started to well up like I was about to cry. “Hey, it’s okay, Ayah. There’s no need to rush yourself. You don’t need to remember everything at once, okay? Just relax. I’m here.” His voice, and every word that came with it, gave me so much peace. His reassurance calmed me immediately. Seeing how serious the situation was, my siblings quickly apologized. They both hugged me tightly. “We’re sorry, sis. We didn’t know,” my brother said sincerely. I hugged them back. “It’s okay. The accident didn’t go viral, so I get it.” But remembering Isaac’s words back when I was still in

  • The Heiress Married Her Ex-husband's Rival    Siblings pt 2

    AYAH'S POVI stared at them for a moment. I couldn’t believe my older brother and younger sister were standing right in front of me. Their expressions looked like they hadn’t seen me for a hundred years. Zach stood there with his usual sharp posture, hands inside his pockets, looking at me like he was trying to figure out whether I was real or just some hologram standing there. His gaze shifted to Bryan, who acted innocent beside me. He kept exchanging looks between the two of us, like he was already suspicious. Beside him was Zarry, arms crossed, lips slightly pouted, eyes already glossy like she was one second away from crying. My chest tightened. Why are they reacting like this?“Well,” Zach said, breaking the silence. “Are you going to keep staring at us, or are you finally going to admit you missed your handsome older brother? It’s been so many years, Ayah Russell. Oh wait, you hate that. You prefer to be called Ayah Evans.” He emphasized the surname Evans like I actually owned i
