Married to my Downfall

he tightens his grip on her wrist, his cold, lustful eyes bore into her soul, reminding her of the vows they once exchanged. "You are mine and mine alone," he whispers, his voice dripping with dark possessiveness. But Diara is no longer the broken woman he left behind. She meets his gaze with a defiant grin, her voice steady as she declares, "I have signed the divorce papers, there’s nothing between us." But Kellan, ever the predator, smirks at her defiance, licking his lips in a way that makes her skin crawl. "I have not yet signed the divorce papers," he sneers, "It’s null and void." His words send a wave of disgust through her, but she refuses to back down. She has suffered enough—endured the heartbreak of losing countless children, the relentless torment of the Crownstar family, and the pain of loving a man who only brought her misery. Diara thought she had escaped his clutches, but now he has returned, more dangerous and determined than ever to claim her as his own. He may have broken her once, but this time, Diara is prepared to fight back. She knows that Kellan is a monster, a man who thrives on control and manipulation, and she is ready to do whatever it takes to free herself from his grasp once and for all. As the battle between them intensifies, Diara must confront the demons of her past and the dark reality of her present. In a world where love is twisted into something unrecognizable, she must find the strength to reclaim her life and protect herself from the man who once vowed to cherish her—but who now seeks to destroy her.

Chapter 23

The soft ticking of the ornate grandfather clock in the corner of the room filled the air, a steady reminder of the minutes slipping by in tense silence. Kellan's mother, Mrs. Evelyn Crownstar, sat upright in her chair, her hands resting elegantly in her lap, though her fingers twitched slightly, betraying her impatience. 

Her mind was spinning with thoughts of the enigmatic CEO of Harvard, the man who had refused every interview, evaded every attempt at public scrutiny. 

No one had ever seen his face, no one knew his voice. The mystery surrounding him was infuriating, especially in a world where success thrived on visibility and reputation.

"I don't understand why he refuses any interviews," Evelyn muttered, her lips pursed in frustration. "He doesn't come out in public, his face is never shown. What is he hiding? Does he have a bad face or what?"
