In late 2025, I accepted a six-month consulting role on an international coastal restoration project, based in Singapore with trips to Mumbai. That’s where I met Aal Kumar, 54. A self-made billionaire in shipping, renewables, and green tech, Aal is tall with sharp features and salt-and-pepper hair. Widowed, with adult children abroad, he carries quiet power and depth. Our first meeting was a high-level roundtable on mangrove restoration. Aal was drawn to my passion and Australian directness; I was captivated by his intellect and how he truly listened. Professional conversations turned into private dinners overlooking the Singapore skyline. He understood my frustrations without judgment. I shared my sense of stagnation; he opened up about loneliness and the weight of his empire. The separation from James, who was tied up with a major Queensland project, made everything feel distant. One vulnerable night in Mumbai after a project milestone, everything changed. What began as temptation became an intense emotional and physical affair. Aal makes me feel seen, desired, and alive in ways I had forgotten. Now I’m torn between the safe love I built with James and the exciting world Aal offers. Guilt and desire battle daily, complicated by cultural differences and high stakes. I never planned to hurt anyone, yet here I am—stuck between two worlds.
