All Chapters of Married by Fate, Broken by Love: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Dylan's POV The moment Aliya realized I was hiding something, the atmosphere inside the room changed immediately.Her expression stayed calm outwardly, but I could see the questions building rapidly behind her eyes now. Leo remained distracted nearby thankfully, still curled quietly against the couch while watching something on his tablet without much focus. I had dreaded this conversation for weeks already, not because I wanted to deceive her, but because timing never seemed right enough for something this complicated. And now Lydia had forced the truth into the open during the worst possible moment.That alone made me angry all over again. “What do you mean recently?” Aliya asked softly.I leaned back slowly against the chair while trying to organize thoughts I should have explained much earlier already. The problem was that none of this had felt certain enough initially.“After Leo called me ‘Dad’ at the amusement park,” I admitted quietly. Aliya frowned slightly after hearing tha

Dylan's POV The room felt quieter after that conversation, but emotionally everything between us had changed completely. Aliya sat beside me still processing the truth while Leo remained nearby unaware that the biggest question of his life had finally been answered. Watching them together now affected me differently because suddenly every moment I spent with Leo carried new meaning emotionally. The way he laughed. The way he frowned while concentrating. Even the stubborn little expressions he made sometimes suddenly felt painfully familiar. I could see myself in him now everywhere I looked, and honestly, the realization still overwhelmed me too.“You’re staring at him again,” Aliya murmured softly beside me. I blinked slightly before looking toward her.“Sorry,” I said quietly. She shook her head faintly.“You don’t have to apologize for that anymore,” she replied.The words hit me harder than expected because deep down, part of me still felt guilty for learning the truth secretly fi

Dylan's POVSleep never came easily that night despite how exhausted all of us were emotionally.The house stayed quiet except for the soft sound of rain falling steadily outside the windows, but my mind refused to settle properly after everything that happened. Too many thoughts kept circling endlessly through my head at once. Lydia’s breakdown. Richard’s obsession. The gunshot. Leo almost getting hurt. And above all else, the truth that changed my entire life forever. I was a father.Even now, the reality still felt unreal somehow.I stood quietly near the bedroom window while staring out into the dark rainy night. Security lights illuminated the property outside while several guards remained stationed around the house continuously. My father never handled danger carelessly once he considered something important.And now, Aliya and Leo had become important to him too.The thought should have comforted me more than it did. Instead, tension still sat heavily inside my chest because in

Dylan's POVThe moment my father admitted he already knew about Leo, every ounce of exhaustion inside me disappeared beneath anger instantly.I stared at him across the living room while tension built heavily between us again. Aliya sat quietly beside me processing the revelation too, but honestly, I barely noticed anything except the fact that my father somehow accessed deeply personal information without my permission. That had always been his way though. Control first. Boundaries later. And tonight, I was far too emotionally exhausted to tolerate it calmly.“You had absolutely no right,” I said coldly.My father remained composed against the couch opposite us, completely unshaken by my tone.“I was protecting this family,” he replied calmly.“You didn’t even know they were my family yet,” I snapped immediately.“I knew enough,” he answered.That response only irritated me more.Aliya glanced carefully between both of us now, clearly sensing years of unresolved tension surfacing ben

Dylan's POVThe moment Aliya wrapped her arms around me, something inside my chest settled quietly for the first time in weeks.But enough for me to finally breathe without feeling like the world around us was collapsing every five seconds. I held her instinctively, one arm around her waist while the other rested gently against her back, and honestly, the exhaustion between us made the embrace feel even more emotional somehow. Tonight stripped everything unnecessary away from both of us. Fear. Pride. Doubt. Confusion. All that remained now was truth.Aliya stayed against me silently for several long moments while rain continued falling softly outside the windows. The room remained dim except for the bedside lamp near Leo’s bed, casting warm light across everything quietly.“I’m tired,” she whispered eventually.I lowered my chin slightly against the top of her head.“I know,” I murmured softly.“No,” she said quietly. “I mean really tired.” The emotion beneath her voice immediately wo
