All Chapters of I Married A Billionaire, Who Wanted Revenge!!!: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

ELOWEN The apartment was too quiet. Not peaceful, instead, it was heavy, uncomfortable, that made one restless.The kind where even the sound of the refrigerator felt like a reminder that something wasn’t right…I dropped myself on the couch, wincing as my shoulder ached. The hospital’s antiseptic smell still clung to my clothes, or maybe it was my imagination— either way, it wasn’t leaving anytime soon.I exhaled long and slow, leaning on the marble edge. “Just a normal day,” I muttered under my breath, though no part of the last twenty-four hours had been normal.Alexander had been in that hospital bed overnight, and the closeness with him was enough to make my lungs twist tight even now.I had insisted on staying though. Refused to leave his side even when the doctors said he would be fine. Guilt did that— heavy, thorned, and impossible to ignore. And perhaps, my growing feelings for him…I rubbed my temples. It didn’t matter that he had stayed because I asked the doctors to keep

ALEXANDER The moment I stepped into my room, I didn’t turn on the lights. The darkness was easier to breathe in. The city glowed beyond the glass wall, neon and dusk bleeding into each other like an open wound, and for a second I just stood there. My jaw clenched tight, my hands braced on the window frame— trying to calm the storm I had deliberately unleashed.I knew what I had done downstairs had shaken her. Shock was too mild a word; I had detonated a bomb in her lap and then watched her sit there with trembling hands, trying to understand why the man she thought she knew had suddenly demanded marriage.A contract marriage, no less.I dragged a hand over my face. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this,” I muttered to the glass, watching my own reflection glare back— controlled, but barely.Except… that wasn’t entirely true, was it?This contract had once been the centerpiece of a plan— my revenge plan. A beautifully constructed trap meant to bind a Corvella to me legally, socially, a

ALEXANDER The moment we stepped out of the marriage registry office, the sunlight hit us with a sharpness that felt almost mocking. Too bright, too celebratory for something that felt more like a noose tightening around both of our throats.Elowen didn’t look at me. Not once.She held the documents in her delicate grip, her eyes fixed somewhere ahead —far enough away that I couldn’t reach her.She was too calm. The kind of calm that was the reason for my suffocation. And— I couldn’t take it anymore…“Nervous?” I asked. She didn’t look at me, “never.” She replied tightly. Liar. I didn’t say anything, only chuckled lightly, “good.”"You shouldn’t be, because we are officially married now." I said, more to myself. “Welcome to the first day of the next 36 months of our lives.” I whispered. She didn’t say anything, but continued with her silence. I opened the door of the car for her. She got in without meeting my gaze. The engine purred to life, and the hum was the only sound betwee

ELOWENI didn’t sleep. I couldn't. That was the lie I let the night believe, and perhaps Alexander as well... When he slipped into the room, his movements were quiet enough to fool anyone who didn’t know how to listen with their skin. The door barely whispered when it closed. The air changed before I ever felt the mattress dip. A shift in pressure. A presence that bent the room toward him.I kept my breathing even. Counted the seconds between inhales. Let my lashes rest against my cheeks.But I was awake. Every nerve in my body was awake.I felt him stand beside the bed for a long moment, long enough that the silence thickened, long enough that I wondered what he was seeing when he looked at me like that. There was something careful in the way he leaned closer, something restrained, as though he were approaching a line he hadn’t yet decided whether to cross.When his fingers brushed my hand, I almost reacted. Almost.His touch was warm, deliberate, lingering just long enough to mak

ELOWEN After the call ended with Serena, the room felt even quieter than before. The kind of silence that pressed in on my ears until my thoughts became too loud to ignore.Sleep didn’t come. Not after what I have heard. I paced the room instead, barefoot against cool marble, replaying Alexander’s words again and again, trying to understand how my life had twisted into something so foreign. If Alexander believed the Hales were after me, then the implications were terrifying. He wasn’t a man prone to paranoia. He didn’t act on instinct alone.Which meant the threat was real.But why?What did I know? What could I possibly have that would make them move this way? I searched my memory, combing through every conversation, every document, every moment from my past, but nothing stood out. Nothing explained this level of danger.I thought of Adrian, my fingers hovering over his name on my phone.Then I stopped… I knew Adrian. I had known him for years. I trusted him once. But trust, I wa
