War God is Back for his Mother

War God is Back for his Mother

She left her husband on their wedding night... to spend the night with another man. On the night they were meant to start their life together, Selena Sterling slips out of her honeymoon suite to comfort her sick assistant leaving her new husband with a shattered promise. Everyone thinks Dennis Doom is gentle, fragile, and harmless. Only Alex Crown knows better. For three years, Alex loved her crazily— hiding his true identity, abandoning a life of unimaginable power and giving everything to the woman he loved. But when she chooses another man’s tears over her husband’s heart, something in him finally breaks. She thinks he’s just an ordinary man—one who will always forgive, always wait, always stay. She has no idea the man she's pushing away is the legendary commander who built her empire from the shadows... or that the moment he walks away, everything she owns will begin to crumble. And while Selena struggles to save a marriage she believes is still under control, the helpless assistant she keeps defending is quietly tightening the noose around her life. When the truth finally comes to light, will she still have a husband to fight for? Or will she watch the man she abandoned become the king she can never reach again?

Chapter: Chapter 10: The Guest Room
The panic in Selena's chest made her do the worst possible thing. Without thinking, she reached for the one subject that felt safe to her."Dennis went to the office today," she said quickly. "Even though he was still hurt. He dragged himself out of the hospital just to check on things. But he's almost fully recovered now. The doctors said he'll be fine. So you don't have to worry. I won't need to keep taking care of him much longer."The moment the name left her mouth, the air in the room changed.Alex Crown's eyes locked onto hers. The coldness in them sharpened into something dangerous. Something that made her take a small step backward without realizing it."I don't want to hear his name," Alex said. His voice was low and controlled, but barely. "Not tonight. Not tomorrow. Not ever again in this house.""Alex, I'm just telling you the situation so you can stop worrying about nothing.""Nothing?" He turned to face her fully. "You're standing in front of your husband on the second n

Chapter: Chapter 9: His Own Words
Selena stood up from her desk and pointed at the door."Get out. Go back to the hospital. Right now.""I'm fine, Selena. Really. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.""You were bleeding internally twelve hours ago. You should be lying in a bed with an IV in your arm, not dragging yourself across the city to check on me."Dennis smiled weakly. It was a soft, boyish smile. The kind that made him look harmless and sweet and completely incapable of hurting anyone."I couldn't stay in that bed knowing you might be upset because of me," he said. "I kept thinking about what happened. About your wedding night. About Alex."He lowered his eyes and his voice dropped."Has he... misunderstood us? Because of me?"Selena's jaw tightened. She looked away from him."It's not your fault, Dennis.""It is my fault. Everything is my fault. If I hadn't gotten sick, you would have stayed at the hotel. You and Alex would have had your night together. None of this would have happened.""Stop blaming yo

Chapter: Chapter 8: The Cousin
Selena Sterling sat on the sofa for twenty minutes before she picked up her phone and called the one person she trusted to understand.Her cousin Sarah Sterling picked up on the second ring."Selena? Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon right now? Why are you calling me?""We had a fight."Sarah was quiet for a moment. "Already? It's been one day.""I know."Sarah Sterling had never liked Alex Crown. From the very first dinner three years ago when Selena brought him home to meet the family, Sarah had sized him up in under ten minutes. No background. No status. No connections. No money. A man who showed up with nothing but a nice face and a quiet voice and somehow convinced her brilliant cousin to fall head over heels. Sarah had pulled Selena aside that night and told her she was making a mistake. Selena had ignored her completely.But regardless of her personal feelings, Sarah was not about to let her cousin become a laughingstock. The Sterling family name carried weight in thi

Chapter: Chapter 7: Behind the Scenes
The meeting point was a private lounge on the thirty second floor of a building downtown. No signs on the door. No cameras in the hallway. Just a locked room with blacked out windows and a single table.Alex Crown walked in and found his subordinate already standing at attention. The man was tall, built like a wall, with a military cut and a scar running from his left ear to his jawline. His name was Voss. He had served Alex Crown for over a decade.The moment Alex entered, Voss snapped a crisp salute."Commander. The documents you requested."He placed a folder on the table. Alex Crown sat down and opened it. Inside was a divorce agreement. Clean. Professional. Every clause already filled in."Everything is in order," Voss said. "Full separation of assets. No conditions in her favor. All you need to do is sign, and we can file it within the hour."Alex stared at the first page but did not pick up the pen. Not yet."How are your injuries, Commander?" Voss asked. His voice carried genu

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Only Path
The room went quiet for exactly three seconds.Then Alex Crown's anger broke through the surface like something that had been chained underwater for six months and finally snapped free."Let me ask you something," he said. His voice was low and shaking. "Since you forgive everything Dennis does. Since every disgusting thing he pulls is just an accident. Since every time he cries you roll over like a trained dog and lick his wounds for him. Then tell me this."He stepped closer to her. His eyes were black."If one day you wake up naked in Dennis Doom's bed, with his hands all over you and his sweat still on your skin, would you still call that an accident too?"Selena's mouth fell open."Would you still believe him when he cried and told you he didn't mean it? Would you still pat his head and tell him it's okay? Would you still come home to me and say I'm being petty for having a problem with it?""Alex, stop.""No. I want to hear you answer me. Because that's exactly where this is hea

Chapter: Chapter 5: Small Matter
Selena Sterling pulled her hands back and rubbed her wrists. The sting of rejection sat heavy on her chest. She stared at Alex Crown's back for a moment, searching for the right words. Guilt was there, buried underneath the exhaustion and the ache in her neck. She knew she had been wrong. She knew leaving on their wedding night looked bad.But then something clicked in her mind. Her eyes brightened. She reached into her bag and pulled out a sleek black box tied with a gold ribbon."Here," she said, holding it out to him. "I got this for you on the way back. It's from the Rosetti boutique on Fifth Street. Limited edition. They only made two hundred of these in the world."She opened the box. Inside, resting on dark velvet, was a high end watch with a platinum face and sapphire crown. It must have cost more than most people earned in a year."I know I messed up last night," she said. Her voice softened. "This is my way of saying sorry. Try it on. It'll look perfect on you."Alex Crown l
