last update publish date: 2026-05-21 15:16:08

**Nadia**

Alexander had been conducting experiments with his face for two weeks.

This was the only accurate description of what was happening. He had discovered that his face was a mechanism with range and he was running it through its full inventory with the methodical focus he brought to most new information, which was total and unhurried and completely indifferent to whether anyone else found the process as interesting as he did.

Eyebrows first.

He had found those early, the specific ability

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 197: Side Character Moments

    Isabella calls on a Tuesday evening.Her voice is different. It's excited but also careful. Like she's been waiting for the right moment to tell us something significant. Like she's been holding something important and now she's finally ready to share it."I have something to tell you," she says. "Both of you. Can you get on the phone together?"Dominic is already in the living room. I go get him and we sit on the couch and we put Isabella on speaker."I'm engaged," she says without preamble.The words land and sit there for a moment. Isabella is getting married. Isabella who watched her parents figure out how to love each other. Isabella who's been documenting what real love looks like her entire life. Isabella is committing to someone."Tell us everything," I say."Morgan proposed last weekend," Isabella says. "We were in Vermont. We were staying in this beautiful cabin and we went for a walk and Morgan just asked. No big production. Just a question and an answer and this specific m

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 196: The Anniversary Ritual

    The park ritual happens differently now.We're in our fifth year of doing this. Fifth different city. Fifth different park. Fifth time standing in a space that's not the park where it happened but represents the same thing. Represents the memory. Represents the reclamation.This year we're in Portland again. We've been back to this city three times now. There's something about the way the light hits in the late afternoon. There's something about the way the trees filter that light that makes the space feel sacred.We stand where we always stand.Dominic takes my hand and he asks the question he always asks on this anniversary."Again?" he says.It's become shorter now. It's become just one word instead of a full sentence. But it carries the same weight. It carries the same question. Are you still choosing this? Are you still choosing me? Are you still willing to do this?"Always," I tell him.And I mean it in a different way than I've meant it in previous years.I mean it with the kin

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 195: Alexander's Notebook, Continued

    Alexander comes home for winter break with a new notebook.It's different from the last one. The last notebook was small and careful. It was the observations of a child learning to understand the world. This notebook is larger. It's filled with the handwriting of someone who's learning to understand himself.He finds me in my office and he asks if I have time to read something.I set down my work immediately. When Alexander asks if you have time, it means whatever he wants to share matters. It means he's been working up the courage to show you something vulnerable.He sits down across from me and he opens the notebook."I've been documenting my own journey," he says. "The way I documented yours and Dad's. But this time I'm looking at my own healing. My own process of understanding what it means to love myself and what it might mean to love someone else."He hands me the notebook.I start reading.The first entry is dated from three months ago, just after he started university."Today

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 194: The Second Home

    Six months into the brownstone and it finally feels like home.Not in the way that the penthouse felt like home. That space was where we survived. This space is where we actually live. There's a difference. In the penthouse, we were always aware that we were in the sky. We were always conscious of the view and the height and the distance from the ground.In the brownstone, we're just people in a house.Dominic has finished building raised garden beds in the backyard. He's planted vegetables and herbs and flowers. The garden looks like something from a magazine but it also looks real. It looks lived in. It looks like a space where someone shows up and tends things and pays attention.I've converted one of the upstairs bedrooms into a proper office for my foundation work. It's not as intimidating as the penthouse study but it's better. It's more intimate. It's a space where I can write and work and think without feeling like I'm floating above the world.The kitchen has become the heart

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 193: The Therapy Reunion

    The phone call comes on a Tuesday afternoon.It's Dr. Voss. Her voice is warm but different somehow. There's something in her tone that suggests this isn't a clinical call. This is personal."I'm retiring," she says without preamble. "At the end of the year. And I'm having a retirement party. I want you and Dominic to come. I want you to speak about what therapy did for you."I set down what I'm doing."You're retiring?" I ask."I've been doing this for forty years," she says. "I think it's time. I think it's time to let the next generation of therapists do the work.""What do you want us to talk about?" I ask."The truth," she says. "What our work together actually meant. How it changed you. What you're doing now because of what we did in that office."We say yes immediately. Of course we say yes. Dr. Voss is the person who guided us through the hardest work of our lives. The person who taught us how to communicate. The person who held space for our transformation.Dominic is quiet w

  • MARRIED TO THE DEVIL BILLIONAIRE FOR REVENGE   Chapter 192: Alexander at University

    The envelope arrives on a Thursday in March.It's from the University of Michigan. It's thick, which is the universal sign of acceptance. Alexander comes home from school and he sets it on the kitchen counter and he just stares at it for a long time before he opens it.I watch him from across the kitchen where I'm making tea.He's nervous. After years of knowing exactly what he wanted to do with his life, he's suddenly facing the reality that it might actually happen. He might actually get to study psychology. He might actually get to become the healer he set out to become years ago when he decided that understanding trauma and recovery was his calling.He opens the envelope slowly.He reads the letter silently. His expression doesn't change. His hands don't shake. He just reads the words that say he's been accepted to the program. That he's been accepted to study psychology with a focus on trauma and recovery. That the university wants him.When he finishes reading, he sets the lette
