Aria's POV

Marcus picked up the check. He held it between his fingers for a long moment, then set it down carefully on his desk.

“This case will be a nightmare,” he said finally. “Your brother will drag it through the courts. It could take months, maybe a year.”

“Then we fight for a year,” Kyle said simply.

Marcus looked at me. “Ms Myles, are you prepared for that? For Jason to air every detail of your marriage in court? For him to make this as painful as possible?”

I thought about the bruise

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 122: The Quiet Room

    Third Person POV Aria drifted in and out of consciousness, her body burning with fever.Everything felt cold … the sheets beneath her, the air in the room, the distant hum of machines. But inside, she was on fire. Sweat soaked her skin, yet chills ran down her spine like icy fingers. The pain in her side was a constant, dull throb, flaring every time she breathed too deeply. Her head felt heavy, her thoughts were scattered and hazy.But through the haze, she felt someone holding her.Strong arms wrapped around her gently, a warm chest pressed against her back. Soft words murmured into her hair … low, soothing, full of love and regret.“I’ve got you,” the voice whispered. “I’m here. I’m not leaving you. Rest, my love. Just rest.”The touch eased the pain. The voice calmed the fever. She leaned into it, clinging to the comfort like a lifeline in the darkness. Fingers brushed her forehead, wiping away sweat. A hand stroked her back in slow, steady circles. The warmth of another body g

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 121: Violet Death

    Third Person POV The grand hall of the Hartley estate had descended into complete chaos.Kyle lay on the cold marble floor, clutching his bleeding leg, blood pooling beneath him in a dark, sticky puddle. His face was twisted in pain and fury as he stared up at Lucien and Elena. The smell of gunpowder and fresh blood hung thick in the air, mixing with the faint metallic tang of fear from the council members still cowering under the table. It seems like they were not God after all. They were nothing but pathetic old men.Kyle’s eyes flicked between them, confusion cutting through the pain.“Why?” he rasped, voice hoarse. “Lucien… why?”Lucien shrugged casually, one arm draped possessively around Elena’s waist. She stood tall beside him, her expression calm but her eyes sharp.“Oh, my woman here doesn’t like the Circle,” Lucien said lightly, as if discussing the weather. “And Aria is her friend, so I had to help. It’s nothing serious.”Kyle’s face twisted with rage.“You betrayed me… f

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 120: The Fall

    Third Person POV They were all seated around the long mahogany table, the air thick with tension. Kyle sat at the head like he already owned the room, legs crossed, a cold, satisfied smile on his face. The council members shifted uncomfortably in their seats, their eyes darting between him and the signed document that had just stripped them of power. Aria stood off to the side, still held firmly by two of Kyle’s men, her face pale, cheeks swollen, eyes red from crying.Everything was quiet until the sound of gunshots threw everything off balance.The sound was deafening, ricocheting off marble walls and high ceilings. Glass shattered somewhere in the distance. Shouts and heavy footsteps followed.Everyone froze.Kyle frowned, standing up slowly, his chair scraping loudly against the floor.“What the hell…?”The council members gasped, eyes wide with fright. Several ducked under the table, chairs scraping violently. One elderly woman knocked over a glass of water, the liquid spillin

    Kyle's POV I hummed a soft tune under my breath as I adjusted my tie in the rearview mirror. The silk felt smooth against my fingers, it was my most expensive suit, perfect for today. Today was a good day. A victorious day. The kind of day I had waited my entire life for.I stepped out of the car in front of the grand Hartley family estate, the same mansion that had looked down on me like I was dirt for years. The butler … old, stiff, and loyal to the core to Jason, hurried forward with his usual bow.“Master Kyle, welcome home. Shall I…”I shoved him aside without a word, not even bothering to look at him. He stumbled back, shocked, but said nothing. They were all learning their place.I walked straight into the main hall, my shoes clicking against the marble floors that had once echoed with my father’s disdain for me. The entire family council was already gathered … the elders, the cousins, the distant relatives who had never given me more than a sneer. They sat around the long t

    Third Person POV Strong hands grabbed her arms to steady her. She looked up slowly, terror flooding her veins.It was Kyle.His face was pale with fury, eyes burning like coals in the darkness. He had found her.Out of pure fear, Aria shoved him hard with both hands.“Get away from me!” she screamed.She turned and tried to run, limping badly on her injured leg.Kyle reached her in two long strides. His hand clamped around her wrist, yanking her back against his chest.“How dare you?” he growled, voice low and dangerous. “After everything I’ve done for you? You think you can hurt me by leaving?”Aria struggled wildly, tears streaming down her face.“You hurt me first!” she shouted. “You hurt me by locking me up like I am an animal! Kyle, you are a monster! I don’t want anything to do with you anymore. Please… just let me go!”Kyle’s grip tightened painfully.“I can never let you go,” he said, voice cold and possessive. “I own you, Aria. I own you. And you are going to help me rule th

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 117: The Madman’s Warning

    Third Person POV Elena sat on the edge of the large leather couch in the dimly lit living room, knees drawn up to her chest. The silk robe Lucien had given her felt too soft, and too luxurious against her skin … like a pretty cage wrapped around her body.Her wrists were no longer tied, but the invisible chains were heavier than ever. The wound on her head had been cleaned and bandaged, but it still throbbed with every heartbeat.She stared at the floor, mind racing.Lucien was dangerous. Unpredictable and for some reason unknown to her was utterly obsessed with her.And yet… he hadn’t killed her.The sound of the front door opening made her tense. Heavy footsteps echoed through the hallway. She didn’t look up immediately, but she felt his presence the moment he entered the room … that dark, suffocating aura that seemed to swallow all the light.Lucien stopped a few feet away.Elena finally lifted her gaze.He was smiling.It was a terrifying smile … wide, beautiful, and completely
