Semua Bab I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!: Bab 21 - Bab 30

ELOWEN The world tilted before my eyes as Alexander’s handsome face zoomed before me… The moment his lips left mine, everything else crashed back — the sound of the rain, the rustle of my own breath, and then… the roar. Adrian… His voice tore through the hallway like thunder, slitting everything apart. “You filthy whore—” His words spiraled into curses, vile, and unbearable. “You think you can spread your legs for another man now? You think you’re too good for me?” My body jerked backward, my pulse hammering. I should’ve screamed, should’ve run—But I stood there, still dizzy from the kiss. That stupid, shocking, unreal kiss! My lips were still buzzing. My head was all over the place. I could still taste Alexander — the warmth, the danger, the quiet arrogance that was all over me. Uggh! I blinked at him, confused, because he wasn’t even looking at me anymore. He was watching Adrian. Quiet and composed. Adrian lunged, still continuing... “You bastard! She’s mine!” He

ELOWEN The rest of the day passed lazily, with me ignoring all the news feeds, calls from mom, and only accepting the call from Serena. And the other time, I spent researching various plants and new fragrances of perfumes, and getting updated about the industry. In the afternoon, came a dress in a black box, classy and chic enough to mirror my disbelief. I mean, what is this sudden event? Didn’t we just had one yesterday? I thought, confused. And as though just to shut me again, almost immediately, a text chimed in my phone neat and unhesitant— of course it was from that arrogant arshole. ‘Wear this. Be ready by eight. Don’t be late.’ — A.V. No greeting. No information, just an order disguised as civility. “Why did he even bother to send the text or the dress now? Just call me directly at the venue, wouldn't it be better than this stupid show off of civility?” I mumbled, frowning at my luck and cursed dignity, while opening the box. And the moment I lifted the lid

ELOWEN The silence was the loudest thing in the room after Alexander disappeared into the night. And I, like a useless piece of sh*t, stood frozen by the balcony doors, fingers still clutching the edge of the curtain where he had vanished. The city lights glittered far below in the distance, while my heartbeat pounded like a warning in my ears. ‘Mine.’—That word, that damned word had rolled out from his tongue as though it's the biggest truth of life, and it still hadn’t left me. It echoed in the hollow of my idiotic brain, mocking the very air I breathed. Damn you Veyrek! I dragged a shaky breath and forced myself to move, pacing the length of the suite. He said someone was watching. Maybe Adrian’s man, or probably we're just paranoid. Either way, he had vanished into the dark like some assassin while I stood here, trembling between fear and fury. I poured myself a glass of water, my hands trembling so much the liquid sloshed over the rim. My throat was too dry to sw

ELOWEN When I woke up the next morning, the initial sight that greeted me was not the sunlight, but rather his presence… Alexander Veyrek, he was still there.He sat by the window, legs crossed, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, he was speaking into his phone in that low, unhurried voice that could make even a death threat sound like a promise. The early light spilled across his face, outlining the strong edge of his jaw, and glistening softly on his stubble. There was a calm arrogance in the way he leaned back…I blinked, what the hell is wrong with me!?My brain is still trying to reconcile the sight of him — the same man who had practically moved into my hotel suite without permission, acting like he owned the place.Well, technically he does own it, but I am focusing on the room, okay? For now, it's mine! “…No, shift the numbers by noon. If the press asks, say it was a joint decision,” he commanded someone over the call, gaining my sole attention. His tone was precise, ras

ALEXANDER The door closed behind me with a quiet click, and the echo of her voice lingered longer than it should have.Tempest… The name settled on my chest like a weight I hadn’t expected, even though I had given her this name, dragging the calm I prided myself on into a current of heat and calculation. I told myself it was a strategy. That every heartbeat she forced from me was a piece of a perfect plan. But the truth… the truth is always louder than the lies we tell ourselves…The city lay before me, a sparkling and boundless expanse. The skyline was mine to command, to manipulate, to bend it however I wanted, and yet, for the first time in a long while, my gaze kept flickering back to her. Elowen… I could almost see her— hands trembling over that damned phone, eyes wide with that blend of fear and desire that always unhinged me. Over the years, I had built walls, rules, and systems — yet she somehow found a way to pierce them without even informing me…I slid into the passenge
