Tristan’s POV

I 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 I expected. And when she looked at me with those eyes? God…

I took a deep drag, letting the smoke fill my lungs before exhaling into the cool night air.

I knew this was going to hurt her. I had plan

  • 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

    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 51–You’re Bleeding

    Tristan’s POVI barely paid attention to what was going on in the conference room.Marcus, Victoria, two of Marcus’s executives, Daniel, and the marketing team were all present, discussing the final details for the upcoming gala. My mind kept drifting back to three days ago—finding Natasha broken again, curled up on the floor beside Abuela’s bed. Every time I tried to get close, she retreated. She hadn’t slept in our room since. I stood up abruptly and left the conference room without a word. No one stopped me. Even better. I walked straight to my office and shut the door behind me. The silence settled immediately. My gaze drifted to the drawer. A second later, I was already reaching for a cigarette. I lit it and took a slow drag, staring out at the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Natasha’s face flashed through my mind again. The tears. The swollen eyes. I exhaled sharply. By the time the cigarette burned out, another one was already between my fingers. I walked ove

    Natasha’s POVThe house felt different without Adelina. I had spent the entire morning downstairs, designing the room we had chosen to turn into her new space. It was closer to the living area, had better natural light, and would be much easier for her to move around once she came home. I wanted i

    Tristan’s POVThe insistent ringing of my phone pulled me out of sleep. I groaned softly, reaching for the device on the nightstand without opening my eyes.

Tristan was coming in, shutting the door behind him.“Good morning, Cariño.” He greeted me, leaning down to kiss my lips softly. “How did you sleep?”I smiled, still a little hazy. “I slept well.”“Of course, you did,” he said, smirking. “After last night… I’m

    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.
