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 30

Diara had smiled at him that day, a sweet, gentle smile that she thought could ease Raymond's concern. She remembered the way his eyes had darkened, his brow furrowing as he tried to make her see reason. 

But in that moment, she had been so sure, so blinded by the promise of a new beginning that she couldn't hear his warnings. 

"I know you care a lot about my well-being, Ray," she had said, her voice soft, trying to reassure him. "But you have to understand — it's my choice.

 I know you don't want me to get married based on a contract. But trust me, I've got this. Kellan is a good man and will make a good husband."

Her words had been bold, confident. She had believed them, or at least convinced herself to. It was the lie she had to tell to survive. To escape. 

But Raymond's response had been as unyielding as ever, the concern etched into every word. "Diara, you don't know him as much as I do. Kellan is not a good person."
