The night wind swept through the city streets, carrying with it the faint chill of early autumn. Neon lights flickered overhead as Alexander walked alone beneath their glow, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other loosened the collar around his neck.

Behind him, traffic lights cycled endlessly, red fading into green, green into yellow—while distant skyscrapers carved cold brilliance into the dark sky.

For the first time in days, the pressure that had been crushing his chest eased, if onl

  • Chapter 29 Part 2 — The Confrontation

    In that moment, he felt something shift inside him. It was not anger, nor was it pain. It was something quieter and far more final.Three years of effort, of patience, of compromise, and none of it seemed to matter. “What about me?” he asked quietly.Aurelia froze.“We were married for three years,” he continued. “We shared a home, a life, a future.”His voice hardened. “You trust him without evidence, but you don’t trust your own husband.”Aurelia opened her mouth to respond, but no words came, for the first time since the call began, guilt flickered through her.Images surfaced unbidden of Alexander waiting for her at home, preparing meals, staying awake while she worked late into the night, helping her build her company without ever complaining.The guilt lingered but only for a moment, because doubt immediately followed.The hesitation vanished as quickly as it appeared.Alexander recognized the silence for what it was; she had chosen him again, just like always.Something within

    Then his expression twisted, and something ugly surfaced. “You bastard...”He touched his swollen cheek, only to flinch as pain shot through him. Alexander had shown absolutely no mercy.Nahir clenched his teeth, his eyes burning with malice. “Fine. You want to play? Then let’s play.”Slowly, he pulled out his phone.An ambulance would be useful. Medical reports would be useful. Witnesses would be useful. Evidence would be useful.Most importantly, Aurelia’s sympathy would be useful.The call connected. “Emergency services.”Nahir’s tone shifted instantly, becoming weak and pitiful. “Hello... I’ve been assaulted.”He paused, then coughed deliberately, as if struggling through pain.“Sir, are you injured?” the operator asked urgently.“I think...” he groaned. “I think he almost killed me.”After arranging the ambulance, he made another call, this time overseas, to his parents. By the time the conversation ended, his mother was already panicking.When he hung up, a satisfied smile sprea

  • Chapter 28 Part 2 —The Choice She Makes Again

    “You like hiding behind Aurelia?” A third blow followed, merciless and precise.Nahir screamed, the sound echoing through the villa as his face swelled and blood poured freely.Alexander did not stop. For the first time since leaving Aurelia, he completely lost control.In the living room, Aurelia slowly regained consciousness, her head throbbed, and her vision swayed as she struggled to focus. Then she heard the screaming.“Nahir…?” she murmured, frowning.Another scream followed, louder this time.She forced herself to sit up and staggered toward the kitchen, her balance unsteady and her mind clouded by alcohol. “Nahir…”When she reached the doorway, she froze.She saw Alexander, Nahir, and Blood the Chaos.Before she could process anything, her foot caught on the edge of the carpet, and she stumbled forward.Alexander reacted instantly, catching her before she could fall.For a brief moment, everything seemed to pause.Then he looked down and saw the marks: dark red hickeys, fresh

    He then carried her up into his arms, laid her on the sofa, and undressed her until she was left with only her underwear.Now, he stared down at her unconscious figure on the sofa, forcing himself to suppress the possessive rage clawing inside him. He had waited too long for this moment to let impatience ruin everything. "You are mine," he whispered coldly, his voice barely audible in the silent room. "And soon, you'll have no way back to him."With meticulous care, he began arranging the scene.Every liquor bottle disappeared. Every trace of the evening was removed. He adjusted the furniture, erased any signs of disorder, and crafted the room exactly as he wanted it.Then he placed the divorce agreement on the table, the stark white pages sat alone beneath the soft light, impossible to miss.Nahir stepped back and surveyed his work. A slow smile curved across his lips.Every detail was well calculated, and all that remained was for Alexander to arrive and walk straight into the trap

  • Chapter 27 Part 2 — The Ferris Wheel Promise

    Vivian crossed her arms. “No, really. What happened before all of this?”Reluctantly, Aurelia explained everything: the anniversary, the amusement park, the argument, the hotel, Nahir’s fake illness, the Ferris wheel, and the divorce message.When she finished, Vivian stared at her.Then she sighed. “Aurelia… did you really expect him to be okay with all of that?”Aurelia frowned. “I didn’t cheat.”Vivian let out a short, incredulous laugh.“You keep saying that. Maybe physically you didn’t,” she said, shaking her head. “But emotionally? On your anniversary, you left your husband alone and ran to another man. And it wasn’t the first time.”Each word hit harder than the last.Aurelia shifted uncomfortably. “But Alexander is my husband.”Vivian stared at her, then laughed again, this time without any kindness.“So because he’s your husband, he’s supposed to tolerate everything?” she shot back. “When he teaches another woman boxing, you explode. But when you abandon him for Nahir, he’s s

  • Chapter 27 Part 1— The Ferris Wheel Promise

    Alexander met her gaze, his expression unreadable. “You want an answer?” he said. “Fine.”His arm remained firmly around Clara. “This is Clara.”Aurelia’s heartbeat faltered.“My girlfriend.”The words landed with crushing force.For a moment, the entire gym seemed to stop breathing.Aurelia felt as though the ground had disappeared beneath her feet.Alexander continued, his tone mercilessly calm. "Since you won't own up to your own change of heart, then just say I cheated. Now let's get divorced."The statement exploded in her mind, leaving her struggling to process it.Then, just as quickly, humiliation twisted into anger.“Fine!” she shouted, her voice echoing through the gym. “You want a divorce? Then let’s get divorced!”Her eyes burned red with emotion.“But don’t expect a single cent from me. Not one dollar. Not one asset. Nothing.”“The company belongs to me. The villa belongs to me. The money belongs to me,” she said, emphasizing each point. “You walk away with nothing.”Aure
