The Woman Who Survived Him Novels & Stories

Uncomfortable. They had never seen this version of me. Neither had I. The man who calculated ten moves ahead was gone. The man who ruled through patience and precision had stepped aside. What remained was a husband whose wife had been touched by violence. And that was far more dangerous. Somewhere in the chaos, I learned she was alive. That she had survived. That she had fought for her innocent life. The relief hit me like a blow to the chest, stealing my breath. My knees almost buckled, but the fury did not fade.

He was about to learn what happened when the woman he tried to poison walked into his sanctuary - very much alive, very much watching, and done waiting. With all the women she can get at her side.

There was nothing left to fight for right now. As they took me down the hallway I could hear the whispers from the servants lining the walls. They weren't even trying to be quiet about it. "She survived..." "She's still alive... no wife has made it past the first night before." "How is she still breathing?" I let them drag me and just stared straight ahead. They were right. No wife had ever survived him before and I did. But I wasn't feeling lucky. Not even a little bit. Because I knew why I was still alive.

“She didn’t kill her.” A pause. “She hid her.” Amelia’s voice broke slightly. “Why would she do that?” The voice answered immediately. “Because dead women don’t talk.” Silence. Then Damian finally spoke again. Cold. Dangerous. “Where is she?” The voice softened again. “You’re asking about the wrong woman again.” A pause. “You should be asking why she survived.” Adrian narrowed his eyes. “…survived what?” The hospital image flickered violently. Then changed.

Who had walked out of the study while he was still explaining his apology, because she understood that staying in that room another ten seconds would give her nothing she needed and cost her something she couldn't spare. Who had then walked alone into a forest at night with a small pack on her shoulder and no destination and managed to stay alive. She looked at this woman. She looked at her for a long time without flinching, without the softening instinct that had always made her find something to criticize before anyone else could. What she saw was: survival. Not clean survival. Not triumphant. The kind that happened on the floor of a gully with claw marks bleeding through your jacket and b

They were steady, folded in front of him, the same composure he had carried since the moment he stood up in his own room hours ago and said I can help with that. "I want to speak about one more thing," he said. "A woman named Venn." My breath caught. "She survived the relocation," he said. "She ran. For two years, she ran, with nothing and no one, until the world finally caught up to her in a way that none of us were ever told the details of." His voice did not break this time, but it went quieter, the careful quiet of a man handling something fragile in front of a room full of strangers. "She gave birth during that time she was running. She named her daughter, and she made sure, somehow, ag

“She was one of the survivors Rue saved from the airport” I sat beside the cot and held the woman’s hand.

When they were busy with their sweet and sour, somewhere else, people were fighting for each other’s blood, “Don’t mess with me; you told me you killed her, then how is this possible she is alive? Are you trying to say she survived on her own? A woman in her 50s, but elegant as 40, suddenly screamed at the man in front of her. The man was around her age and looked at the woman with a smoldering look. “I killed her, but I don’t know how she got so lucky. Do you think I would let him stay alive, if possible? On the contrary, I want to destroy him and everything he treasured,” the man rebuked sharply. The woman suddenly laughed hysterically. “Do I believe in you? No honey, I don’t and never wil

Alive, and safe, standing where I had hoped she would never return from. My fingers tightened slowly against the window frame as I stared outside, because all I could see was her face, her presence, the way she stood beside him like she belonged there, like she had every right to breathe the same air as him, and it made something ugly and suffocating rise in my chest. “How did she survive…” I whispered under my breath, my voice low and strained, as if saying it too loudly would somehow make it more real than I was willing to accept. It didn’t make sense, because everything had been arranged carefully, every detail calculated, the rogues had been controlled, their minds stripped away until al

"I hope that you understand how lucky you were to survive. I would hate to think what kind of retribution I could come up with if things didn't play out the way that they did." She nods, unable to utter a word due to the intense pain that radiates from her stomach. His eyes narrow at the pain before he pulls back, looking at his now dead wife. He straightens his back and turns his attention back to the female. "Let's get going." He orders, looking back over his shoulder at the others. Everyone gives him quick nods, and then turns to follow after the woman. She sighs in relief, relieved to be finally able to put some distance between them and the burning building.
