The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 48: The Cracks
Klein's first act as Guardian was to establish a proper base of operations. The Council provided a facility on the outskirts of the city...large enough for training, research, and housing a small team, but isolated enough for privacy.Mara took to organizing the space immediately, her systematic mind turning chaos into order. She set up a command center with monitoring equipment linked to Dr. Castellan's dimensional tracking network, designated training areas for different power types, and even a small library for ancient texts Klein had begun collecting."You're scary efficient at this," Klein observed, watching his sister coordinate contractors and tech specialists."Someone has to be," Mara replied, checking items off a digital list. "You're busy being broody and mysterious in the corner. Very Guardian-like, by the way. Very dramatic."Klein snorted. "I'm not being dramatic. I'm thinking.""Dramatically," Mara said with a grin.Despite the teasing, Klein was genuinely thinking.
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 47: The Cage
Aria’s POVDavis stood by the window. Again.He’d been there for the past hour. Just standing. Watching. His eyes constantly scanning the street below like someone might materialize out of thin air to attack me.I tried to focus on the television. Some cooking show I didn’t care about. But I could feel his presence constantly.It had been like this for four days since I’d left the hospital.Four days of Davis following me from room to room. Standing outside the bathroom door. Sitting in the corner while I worked. Watching me eat. Watching me sleep. Watching me breathe.Kyle said I’d barely notice him.Kyle lied.I shifted on the couch, trying to get comfortable. My broken arm itched inside the cast. My face still ached where Kyle had hit me.Davis’s eyes flicked to me immediately. “You need something, Ms. Myles?”“No. I’m fine.”He nodded. Went back to watching the window.I stared at the TV. Some chef was making a soufflé. Adding butter. Cream. Eggs. Cheese.My stomach growled.I’d
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 46: The Hospital
Kyle’s POVI stood outside Aria’s hospital room door for a full minute before opening it.Lucien’s words from last night kept echoing in my head. You want to see her fear. You want to watch her realize what you really are.I pushed the thoughts away and put on the mask. Then I opened the door.Aria was sitting up in bed with her left arm in a cast. Her face sass bruised where my fist had left a mark that spread from her cheekbone to her jaw in shades of purple and yellow. Her lip was split.I’d done that. I didn’t like causing her that kind of pain. On her beautiful face, I expected her to fear me when we met but instead when I opened the door she smiled at me brightly“Kyle.” Her voice was rough but full of relief.I walked toward her slowly pushing my shock aside. “Aria, I…” She lunged forward before I could finish. And threw her good arm around my neck and pulled me into a hug so tight it knocked the breath out of me.“I’m so sorry,” she said against my chest. “I’m so sorry you
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 45: The Beast
Kyle’s POVThe holding cell smelled like piss and disinfectant. It was starting to get on my nerves. I hate dirty things more than anything.I sat on the metal bench with my head in my hands, knuckles still crusted with dried blood. The man’s blood. Aria’s blood. Mine.They’d taken my statement. Photographed my injuries. Documented everything. Self-defense, they’d said. Justified use of force to protect another person.But I’d seen the way they looked at me when they described what I’d done to that man’s face.Excessive. That’s what one cop had muttered when he thought I couldn’t hear.The man was in surgery. Might lose an eye. Might have permanent brain damage.I didn’t feel bad about it.I felt bad about hitting Aria.The door at the end of the hall clanged open. Footsteps echoed on concrete.I didn’t look up. Probably another detective with more questions.“Well, well.”I froze.That voice. I knew that voice.“You’re still getting into trouble after all these years.”I looked up s
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 44: The Investment
Jason’s POVI 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.Violet had spent eight thousand dollars at Bergdorf Goodman.I stared at the number.Eight thousand dollars. On what? Shoes? Dresses? Bags she’d use once and forget about? Well I didn’t particularly care. If it made her happy Then why not.I took a drag from the cigarette.Set the phone back down.Thought about Aria.Aria who’d never spent money like that. Who’d been careful with every purchase even though she was secretly a fucking billionaire. Who’d worn the same winter coat for two years because she said it was still good. Who’d gr
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 43: The Demon
Aria’s POVI stood on the corner of Delancey and Bowery, phone clutched in my shaking hand.Five minutes, Kyle had said. I just needed to wait five minutes.People walked past me. Some glanced at the blood on my face, my torn clothes, but this was New York. No one stopped. No one asked if I was okay.I kept my eyes on the street. Watching for Kyle’s car.Behind me, I heard running footsteps.I started to turn.Pain exploded across my skull.Someone had hit me from behind. Hard. My vision went white, then dark around the edges.I stumbled forward, trying to catch myself.Arms grabbed me. Yanked me backward into the alley I’d just escaped from.“Bitch!” The voice was familiar. The man from the basement. “That’s what you get for lying!”He threw me against the brick wall. My shoulder hit first, then my head. Fresh blood in my hair.“You said we had a deal!” he screamed in my face.His breath was hot and panicked. Blood ran from his temple where I’d hit him with the chair.“I gave you a c
The Wife He Never Loved Chapter 17: The Coincidence
Aria’s POVThe bistro on Thompson Street had the best croissants in Manhattan. It was buttery, flaky, the kind that left golden crumbs on your fingers and made you close your eyes with the first bite.I’d discovered it three years ago. It was one of the few places I’d kept to myself. For some reas

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 woke up to sunlight streaming through the guest room window and the buzz of my phone on the nightstand.A text from Marcus: “Papers are ready. Come by the office at 8 AM.”I checked the time. 7:15 AM.Jason’s bedroom door was already closed when I passed it on my way to the shower. I c

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
