Jason’s POV

I sat in my office with a cigarette between my fingers, watching smoke curl toward the ceiling.

The sun was setting outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Friday evening. Most of the building had emptied hours ago but I was still here.

I had nowhere else to be. Or rather I had no where I wanted to be, everything felt too boring these days.

My phone buzzed on the desk. It was a credit card alert.

I picked it up. Glanced at the notification.

  • The Wife He Never Loved     Chapter 58: The Warning

    Aria’s POVI felt fine during the drive to work. Tired, but fine. Kyle had kissed me goodbye at the door, told me to call if I needed anything, and Davis had driven me to Myles Gallery like every other morning.I rode the elevator to my office floor. Said good morning to the receptionist. Waved at Thomas who was on the phone at his desk.Reached my office door. When I opened the door the smell hit me firstIt smelt like something was rotting and decaying.My stomach lurched.I stepped inside and immediately saw them.Dead animals. Everywhere.On my desk. On the floor. On the chairs. Rats. Birds. What looked like a cat. Their bodies were stiff and decomposing. Eyes vacant. Blood dried black around wounds.And behind my desk, spray-painted across the white wall in dripping red letters:LEAVE THE INDUSTRY OR YOU’RE NEXTMy vision swam. The smell was overwhelming. Sweet and rotten and chemical.I was going to throw up.I pressed my hand over my mouth. Backed out of the office. Slammed th

  • The Wife He Never Loved     Chapter 57: The Visitor

    Aria’s POVI was still in Kyle’s shirt when the doorbell rang.My body ached in the best way. Every muscle remembered last night. The award ceremony. The stage. Everything after.I padded to the door, checked the peephole.Patricia stood there holding a large crystal award and a bouquet of flowers.I blinked. Opened the door. “Patricia?”“Aria!” She pulled me into a hug immediately. The award pressed between us awkwardly. “Congratulations! You had to rush off last night. You left this behind.”I hugged her back, genuinely happy to see her. Patricia had always been kind to me. “Thank you. Come in, please.” I stepped aside.She walked in, looking around the penthouse with wide eyes. “Wow. This place is gorgeous. Much better than…” She stopped. Cleared her throat. “Sorry. I shouldn’t mention him.”“It’s fine.” I took the award from her hands. It was heavy. Beautiful. “You didn’t have to bring this all the way here.”“Of course I did. This is huge, Aria. Gallery Director of the Year.”

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 56: The Beast’s Shadow

    Kyle’s POVThe morning light cut through the penthouse windows as I adjusted my tie in the mirror. Aria was still asleep.I leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead. She moved a bit but didn’t wake up, murmuring something soft that sounded like my name. A satisfied smile tugged at my lips. “Stay in bed as long as you want, goddess,” I whispered against her skin. “I’ll be back tonight.”My driver was waiting downstairs with the car. The drive to the office was quiet, the city still waking up around us. I checked my phone…I got emails from the gallery team congratulating Aria on the award, a few photos from the red carpet already circulating online. The kiss on stage was everywhere. People were calling it “romantic.” And it seemed like I had gathered a few fans as well.I stepped into the office just after nine, and got into work as quickly as possible, trying to round up and go home.By midday, I was in my private office on the top floor, reviewing projections on the large s

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 55: One More

    Kyle’s POVShe fell asleep with my cock still twitching inside her.I stayed there for a long minute, propped on my elbows, watching her face in the moonlight that spilled through the windows. Her lashes fluttered once, twice, before she finally settled and went into a deep sleep. Her full lips parted on a soft, exhausted sigh. The wild curls I’d fisted and pulled were now a tangled mess across the pillow, damp with sweat at the temples.Fuck, she was beautiful like this.Completely undone and marked by me. Her lips were already swollen from my kisses, throat faintly red from my grip, hips and ass already blooming with the faint bruises my fingers had left. My cum was slowly leaking out around my softening cock, mixing with her own wetness on the sheets. The sight of it sent a fresh wave of heat straight to my groin.I know I should probably let her rest. She had cum a lot of times and fucked her brutally. But I couldn’t stop looking at her.Every slow rise and fall of her chest m

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 54: My Whore II

    Aria’s POVHe pulled his fingers out abruptly and stood up. I whimpered at the loss, thighs trembling. He stripped fast…tuxedo jacket, shirt, pants…until he was naked. His cock was thick, veined, already leaking at the tip. Harder than I’d ever seen it. The head was flushed dark, angry.He didn’t give me time to breathe.Kyle grabbed my ankles and yanked me to the edge of the bed. He flipped me onto my stomach in one motion, then hauled my hips up so I was on my knees, ass in the air, face pressed into the sheets.No foreplay. No slow kisses.He lined up and slammed into me in one brutal thrust.I screamed into the mattress. He was so deep it felt like he was splitting me open. No mercy. Just the wet, obscene sound of my pussy taking every inch.“Fuck,” he snarled, hands gripping my hips hard enough to bruise. “So tight. So fucking greedy for me.”He pulled back and drove in again. Harder. Deeper. The bed frame slammed against the wall with every thrust. I clawed at the sheets, mou

  • The Wife He Never Loved    Chapter 53: My whore I

    Aria’s POVThe applause had finally died down. The ceremony dragged on around us… with more awards, and more speeches, more polite clapping from people who had no idea what had just happened on that stage. I sat slumped in my chair at table seven, the crystal award was heavy and cool in my lap, my body still humming like a live wire. The remote device was off now, but my pussy throbbed in time with my heartbeat, slick and swollen and ruined. My thighs were sticky under the burgundy dress. Every shift in my seat made me bite the inside of my cheek to keep from moaning. Kyle’s hand stayed on my thigh, it was obvious he was claiming me with every part of his being. His thumb traced slow circles that felt like torture. He hadn’t said a word since we sat down. Just watched me with those beautiful eyes that had gone almost black with hunger.I could feel the stares from nearby tables. The standing ovation had been for the award…for us…but I knew some of them were still replaying that
