The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 101: The Truth
Elena's POV Elena’s eyes fluttered open.A sharp, blinding pain exploded in her skull the moment she regained consciousness. She gasped, her whole body tensing as the agony radiated from the back of her head down her spine. The world spun in sickening circles. She lay on cold, damp concrete, the metallic scent of blood thick in the air.Her hand moved instinctively to her head. Her fingers came away sticky and warm. Blood. A lot of it.She blinked hard, trying to focus, her breathing shallow and ragged. Where was she? How did she get here?Fragments of memory slammed into her like broken glass.She had been following a lead. A quiet meeting with a former Hartley employee who claimed to know the truth about the “disappeared” wives. The man had been nervous, whispering about the Circle, about rituals, about how the family didn’t just control wealth … They played God with their lives.Then pain.A blow from behind.Darkness.Elena tried to sit up, but the room tilted violently. She gr
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 100: The Letter
Third Person POV Margaret sat at her desk in the small back office of Myles Gallery, sorting through the morning mail. The gallery was quiet this morning, the usual hum of visitors and staff still a few hours away. She sipped her coffee, enjoying the rare moment of peace.A plain white envelope caught her eye. No return address. Just her name written in neat, hurried handwriting.She tore it open.Inside was a single sheet of paper.Margaret,This is Jason Hartley. I was stabbed last night. I’m at St. Mary’s Hospital. Please tell Aria I need to speak with her urgently. It’s about something very important. Tell her to be very careful. I’m sorry for everything.JasonMargaret stared at the letter, her fingers tightening around the paper until it crinkled.Her heart started beating faster.Jason Hartley … the handsome, powerful ex-husband who had looked so good the last time he came to the gallery. The man who had two women fighting over him. The man Aria had walked away from.And now
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 99: The Call
Kyle’s POVAria had finally fallen asleep.Her breathing was soft and even, her body curled against his side. The coastal trip had left her exhausted, and the long, intense night had taken the last of her strength. Kyle lay beside her for a while, listening to her breathe, one arm draped possessively over her waist.When he was sure she was deep under, he slipped out of bed, pulled on a pair of sweatpants, and walked to the balcony.The night air was cool. The ocean crashed below in a steady rhythm.He lit a cigarette and took a long drag, exhaling slowly.His phone buzzed.It was Lucien.Kyle answered on the second ring.“Mon frère,” Lucien’s voice was smooth, almost cheerful. “A little birdie whispered to me that Jason was struck tonight. Maybe it’s your time to act now. Go for the kill.”Kyle paused, cigarette halfway to his lips.He took another slow drag, letting the smoke curl into the night air.“No,” he said finally. “This isn’t the right time.”Lucien laughed softly on the o
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 98: The Breaking Point
Violet’s POVThe penthouse was too quiet.Violet sat on the white sofa, legs tucked beneath her, a half-empty bottle of red wine on the coffee table. The television was on, but she wasn’t watching it. The screen showed footage from the ball … Aria smiling gracefully, answering reporters with that perfect, poised voice.Violet’s hand tightened around the glass until her knuckles turned white.Her phone buzzed.She picked it up with trembling fingers.The message was from her manager.“Due to the scandal at the ball and the damage to your public image, the committee has decided to remove you from all upcoming events. We suggest you take time to reflect. Your services will no longer be required.”Violet stared at the screen.Fired.She had paid good money. She had pulled strings. She had done everything to make sure she would be the face of that ball.And now she was being discarded.Because of Aria.Because everyone loved Aria so much.The glass slipped from her hand and shattered on t
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 97: The Morning After
Third Person POV Kyle stepped into the penthouse late that night, the door clicking shut softly behind him.The lights were dim. The living room was quiet except for the faint hum of the city far below the windows.He walked toward the bedroom, expecting to find Aria awake or at least waiting for him.Instead, she was already asleep.She lay curled on her side in the big bed, one arm tucked under the pillow, her curls spread across the white sheets. Her breathing was slow and even, but there was a faint flush on her cheeks and the unmistakable smell of wine lingering in the air.Kyle leaned down to hug her, his arms ready to pull her close.Then he stopped.The sharp, sour scent of alcohol hit him.He paused, hovering just above her, his face inches from hers.He didn’t say anything.He simply straightened, took a slow breath, and climbed into bed beside her.He lay on his back, staring at the ceiling for a long time, one hand resting lightly on her waist.He didn’t wake her.He did
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 96: The Drunken Mistake
Third Person POVThe front door opened. Aria turned, the room spinning slightly from the wine.It was Kyle.He stood there in the doorway, still in his suit, looking at her with that familiar mix of concern and something darker underneath.She smiled … a loose, drunken smile … and stumbled toward him.He opened his arms, but there was a tiny hesitation, just a fraction of a second, that felt weird. She didn’t care. She walked straight into his chest and hugged him tight, pressing her face into his shirt.He hugged her back, but his arms felt a little stiff at first.She tilted her head up and kissed him.The kiss started soft, but she made it long. Deep. She poured everything into it … the exhaustion from the day, the relief of seeing him, the quiet fear she was trying to drown in alcohol. Her tongue brushed his, slow and desperate, tasting him like she needed to remind herself he was real.He finally relaxed into it, his hands sliding down to her hips, pulling her closer. The kiss

Aria’s POV - Three Days LaterI stared at my phone for the fifth time in ten minutes.Claire still hadn’t responded. It has been three days of silence. No texts, no calls, nothing.We were supposed to have dinner on Tuesday night. I’d texted her that morning to confirm and got nothing back. I figur

Aria’s POVThe food kept coming.First, the oysters…plump and briny, served on ice with mignonette sauce that tasted like the ocean. Then seared scallops that melted on my tongue, followed by lobster tail so buttery I had to close my eyes to fully appreciate it.Kyle watched me with amusement. “Wh

Aria’s POVI sat on the edge of the guest room bed, with my hands folded neatly in my lap. The suitcases Jason had carried back upstairs sat unopened at my feet like evidence of my failed escape.Everything was perfectly still.I was perfectly still.And then I started laughing.It was very quite
