Married to the Devil Chapter 57–My Wife Loves Someone Else
Tristan’s POVAfter I’d met with the investors, I shook their hands and removed the tie around my neck completely. I stared at it longer than necessary. A faint smile crept onto my face. Natasha insisted I wore it. I did. Despite never wearing one before… I did anyway. I slipped it into my pocket. I excused myself to go to the rooftop and told Daniel to drive Natasha home whenever she was ready to leave. He had noticed the shift in my expression, but didn’t ask questions. Several minutes passed as I watched Daniel lead Natasha into his car from the rooftop. She had never mentioned who Lucas was. And maybe it didn’t matter. But I’d just heard her tell him she loved him. My hands tightened around the railing until my knuckles turned white.Come to think of it, I didn’t think I had any right to be mad. She had told me she wanted out the moment her father’s company was safe. Still… I didn’t expect it to be soon. But we had been in a good place these past few weeks… what changed?I exh
Married to the Devil Chapter 56–The Gala II
Natasha’s POVTristan’s speech was brief. I couldn’t help but smile when he admitted he wasn’t much for long speeches. It was so him. The moment he was done, he made his way back to me, weaving through the crowd with a smug smile I was beginning to know so well. “How’d I do?”I wrapped my arms around myself. The night air was starting to get cold. “You did… okay.”“Okay?” he said, already shrugging off his jacket and draping it over my shoulders. “I just know you don’t like me.”I shook my head, smiling as I pulled the jacket closer around me. “Thank you.”Then a waiter stopped beside us, balancing a tray of champagne. “Champagne, sir? Ma’am?”I reached for one of the flutes, but Tristan intercepted it, taking the glass from me before I could even raise it to my lips. I knitted my brows. “Why would you do that?”He placed it back on the tray before picking up a glass of sparkling water instead and handed it to me. “You’re light-headed when you get drunk,” he said. “I can’t risk
Married to the Devil Chapter 55–The Gala I
Tristan’s POV“You know you can just ask for help, Natasha,” I said, watching her struggle with the zipper of her dress.“Of course,” she replied, breathing lightly. “But what happens if you’re not around? Besides, I’ve been doing it myself for a long time.”I stepped behind her, gently sweeping her hair over one shoulder before pulling the zipper up. “Sure, you can do it yourself,” I murmured. “But it wouldn’t hurt to ask for help once in a while.” I pressed a soft kiss to the back of her neck. “Thank you.”She turned to face me, her eyes sweeping over me as though she were judging me. “Where’s your tie?”“What tie?”She placed her hands on her hips. “Are you for real?”“I don’t do ties, Natasha,” I said, buttoning my cufflinks. “They’re for… normal people. I prefer to be different. In case you’ve forgotten, I didn’t even wear one on our wedding day.”“Well,” she said, reaching into my wardrobe. “Today, you’ll act like everyone else.”I chuckled. “If you’re looking for a tie, don’
Married to the Devil Chapter 54–If you say so, Mrs. Castillo
Natasha’s POV“Are you sure you don’t need to stay at home or go to the hospital?”Tristan had asked the same question all morning. He was certain I needed to rest and that something wasn’t right with me. “It really isn’t that serious,” I said, taking a last look at myself in the mirror.“Not that serious?” He stepped closer, his voice laced with concern. “You’ve been looking so tired lately.”I rolled my eyes as I turned to face him. “Oh, please. Between preparing for my interior design business and changing this room, I’m bound to get tired.”“No,” he countered. “You haven’t been eating properly. And every time you eat something, you end up throwing up.”“I understand your concern, Mr. Castillo,” I said, wrapping my hands around his neck as he held my waist. “But nothing is wrong with me. It’s just stress, that’s all.”“If you say so, Mrs. Castillo.” He didn’t argue further, but he wasn’t convinced. “Just call me if anything happens.”I scoffed, pulling away slightly. “And when ha
Married to the Devil Chapter 53–Be Patient With Her
Tristan’s POVThings finally felt normal again after the gunshot. Natasha had returned to our bedroom.She was sleeping peacefully, her head resting against my chest, one hand tangled in my hair. I carefully slid out of bed and walked onto the balcony. My arm throbbed beneath the bandage. It was healing slowly. Natasha had been tending to the wound and changing the bandage every day.Now, it was time to deal with Francis Luzardo. That bastard had a terrible aim. I dialed a number. The phone only rang once before it was picked up.“I have eyes on him,” the voice said. “What should I do next?”“You’ll do nothing yet,” I said calmly, leaning against the railing. “Just never let him out of your sight. And remember—keep your distance. Make sure no one gets hurt.”I ended the call, slipped the phone into my pocket and walked back into the room. Natasha was still sleeping. I didn’t know what it was, but something about her looked different. I went into the closet and put on a t-shirt. I’d
Married to the Devil Chapter 52–I’ll Be There
Natasha’s POVThe sight of Tristan covered in blood—his blood this time, made something twist sharply in my chest. He was clutching his arm tightly, blood seeping through his fingers. “Oh my God.”Tears brimmed in my eyes as I moved instinctively toward him. “What happened to you?” My voice broke, barely above a whisper. He didn’t answer. His jaw was tight. His face was pale, but his expression remained controlled as though nothing had happened. He simply opened the door to his office and stepped inside. I followed him without thinking. I reached for his arm and guided him to his chair. I took a look at the wound. The blood. The hole in his sleeve. It looked like a gunshot wound. A tear slipped down my cheek. I couldn’t breathe properly. Seeing him this hurt did something to me I couldn’t explain. “Hey, hey,” he said, his voice strained but firm as his hand found my cheek, wiping the tear with his thumb. “Look at me. I’m fine, okay? You—” He grunted. “No.” I shook my head. “You’
Married to the Devil Chapter 34–Confessions
Tristan’s POVI stood on the balcony of the beach house, a cigarette burning between my fingers as I stared out at the dark ocean. The waves crashed steadily below, but my mind was still back in that house in Santa Barbara. The look on Natasha’s face when she saw her mother… it had cut deeper than
Married to the Devil Chapter 33–Mother’s Truth
Natasha’s POV She stood there, looking as elegant as always—bright and composed. Slightly older, but she didn’t look like she had aged much. Like she hadn’t just abandoned me seventeen years ago. She took a slow step toward me. “Natasha…” I took several steps backward, shaking my head hard. “No.
Married to the Devil Chapter 32–Seventeen Years Later
Natasha’s POV“Welcome to Malibu,” Tristan said quietly. Two staff members appeared immediately. “Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Castillo,” they greeted in unison. “Thank you,” I replied, offering a small smile. They led us into the house. It was stunning—spacious too, with soaring high ceilings that mad

Natasha’s POVI kept tossing and turning till dawn. I couldn’t sleep.No. Not when my—our honeymoon was starting today. By the time the sun was fully up, the house was already stirring. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the light sundress I’d chosen for the trip. My suitcase and carry-on
