All Chapters of Marriage of Deceit: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Rylan’s POVThe cool night air hit my face as I stepped out of the hospital. I didn’t look back. My chest felt tight, and my head was full of noise even though I made no sound. I stayed longer in AURORA ward but she refused to talk.to.me. She kept silent for 3 hours. I knew she was still mad about the Lizzy incident.Asher stood by the car, holding the back door open. I slid into the seat without a word. The smell of rain surrounded me, it was a bit relaxing. Asher closed the door gently, then got into the driver’s seat.Through the window, the hospital lights glowed faintly. My mind kept going back to the hallway, Onika’s nervous eyes and her half-truths, and then the tall figure slipping out of Aurora’s ward. Dylan!! I knew it was him. But why did Onika Onika stop me from.seeing them? She purposely skipped Aurora's ward, I had to act like I didn't know her ward. Do they have a secret that I don't know? I picked up my iPad, and checked Aurora's recent movement. I got the maid Rhoda

AURORA's POV- The next morning.The light creeping through the curtains felt too bright, like it was forcing me awake before I was ready. My body ached from crying through the night. I just lay there staring at the ceiling, thinking about what I will do about the designs Fiona took from me. Rylan's house felt colder these days, I feel like I don't belong here. I want to be free again!!I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and slid my feet into my slippers. I smoothed my robe over my waist, and drew a deep breath. I didn’t even know why I was nervous to go downstairs. It was just breakfast. But Rylan was there, and lately, even the smallest interactions felt like I was walking across broken glass.The dining room door was open when I got there. He was already there!! Rylan sat at the head of the long oak table like it was a throne, his hair still damp from the shower, his tie perfect, his posture stiff. He didn’t look up when I stepped in.“Good morning,” I murmured a greeting, tes

AURORA POV“If not for me, he would have died single!! who will marry a man that can't talk!!” I said to myself kicking the wall outside the school.Ambrey hugged me from the side. “It's okay Aurora, you have been cursing at him for hours. After all, you were the one that married the man that can't talk!!” she laughed.“I was literally forced to marry him!! Because if not…I..” I sighed and kicked the wall again.“Aurora, the more I look at the both of you. The more I see the love. That man was always meant to be yours. Don't you see the way he looks at you? With so much love!!”“You are funny!! I never knew I met him till.our wedding day. It's been 3 months and you say he loves me? We don't even spend time.together.” I said with a deep sigh. “We have a lot of obstacles in our marriage. But he always saved me sometimes.”“Are such families so crazy? My husband's family are very nice to me. They never tried to bark at me, they did whatever I requested.” She said with a sweet smile. “So

Rylan’s POV The black car rolled to a smooth stop in front of my restaurant in my hotel. I wanted to know how the spring winery was selling.The exterior gleamed with the elegance I had designed, my chefs working behind the glass wall, the staff trained to perfection. It wasn’t just a hotel restaurant; it was one of my signatures in the city.But even before the Asher opened the door, I sensed something was wrong.A ripple of movement on the pavement, voices raised - too loud for this neighborhood.I stepped out, my polished shoe hitting the tiled floor. Anne slipped out behind me, Ipad in hand, as unruffled as always.Then my eyes caught her, Aurora.She was at the entrance, her back almost against the glass door, eyes blazing, chin raised. One of my managers, uniform still on, name tag crooked and one security guard had his arm raised with a baton like he meant to strike. I felt cold fury spread through me.At my restaurant? A staff hitting my wife?I didn’t think so. I crossed th

Rylan’s POV Asher sat across from me, his posture as casual as ever, but his eyes sharp. He was always sharp. He tapped his fingers lightly on the arm of the chair, watching me.“Sir Rylan,” he said, leaning forward, “you’re going to want to sit for this. I heard something today.”I stayed standing by the window, my hands clasped behind my back. But I raised an eyebrow, gesturing for him to continue.He exhaled. “It's about Dylan.”I blinked once, my fingers twitching.“Yes. Dylan,” he said again, slower. “He’s been pushed into the company as Raine’s new assistant. From now on he is in the company. No warning, No paperwork crossing your desk first.”My jaw clenched. “Raine’s doing it again?”“Who else?” he muttered. “She claims it’s temporary. I think it’s a setup. Since you blocked his director seat, now you can't stop this.”I turned back to the window, the city stretched out like a game board. Dylan is now in my company. At my mother’s side. It was like her lifelong dream. If I sa
