LOVE HIS ENEMY: My Husband's Downfall Chapter 26
ElizabethThe bed feels too soft beneath me, almost as though it’s swallowing me whole. My body aches—not in the way it used to after nights with Christopher—but from something raw, passionate, and entirely unrestrained.My muscles remember Sebastian’s touch even if my mind doesn’t want to dwell on it. It’s done now. I have become comfortable being a cheat.I’ve showered; I tried to scrub his scent off my skin and bury the guilt deep down.I stare at the ceiling, the faint hum of the heater filling the silence.Edward. My son. His chubby hands clutching my dress. His adorable face on mine. My chest tightens. What if Christopher never lets me see him again? What if he uses last night as the excuse he needs to cut me out of Edward’s life forever? No, I will not let him.A lump forms in my throat, but I swallow it down. There’s nothing I can do right now—not yet. Not with Christopher pulling every string, holding my trust fund hostage, and controlling the air I breathe.The door creaks o

Sebastian"No, sebastine." Elizabeth snaps, her voice slicing through the air like a blade.The word isn’t loud, but it’s firm—unshakable. Her eyes burn with an anger that shakes me to my core, but beneath it, I see something worse: confusion. Betrayal. Pain. I stand there frozen, fists clenched at my sides, my stomach twisting into knots. The tension in the room is unbearable. It feels like the air has been sucked out, leaving only a heavy, suffocating weight behind.I want to speak, to make her stay, to say the right thing—but how? Elizabeth is already moving, her hands trembling as she begins searching for her clothes. Her movements are frantic, almost wild, like she’s trying to claw her way out of this nightmare. “Elizabeth,” I manage to say, my voice low and steady, though every nerve in my body screams at me to yell, to beg her not to leave.“You can never go back to Christopher. I mean it.” She freezes, her back to me, her hand hovering over her discarded dress.Slowly, she

ElizabethThe moment we step into the living room, I feel my breath catch in my throat. My heart drops, thudding painfully in my chest as my eyes land on the massive portrait hanging above the fireplace mantle.The woman’s piercing blue eyes seem to follow me as I take hesitant steps forward, her golden blonde hair falling in perfect waves around her delicate face. Her expression is soft but haunting, her beauty almost unreal. I can’t look away.It can’t be, I think to myself, my pulse quickening. My hands feel clammy, my head light. I know that face. I know her.“Sarah,” I whisper under my breath, the name feeling foreign yet familiar as it passes my lips.This is Sebastian’s wife?My head feels like it’s going to explode. Sarah. My Sarah. She’s dead?The room tilts slightly as the realisation crashes into me like a wave.I glance at Sebastian out of the corner of my eye, trying to gauge if he can see the recognition written all over my face. His sharp gaze is locked on me, and I kno

ElizabethBy the time I get home, I’m fuming. My head feels like it’s about to burst from the storm of emotions raging inside me. Sebastian’s words play over and over in my mind, each one louder than the last."Christopher left her to die.""Your miscarriages weren’t accidents.""Christopher is a monster."I can’t make sense of any of it. There’s too much happening all at once.First, I lost Edward, the only person who made me feel truly alive after everything.Then Sam—the doctor I only trust—tells me that my miscarriages weren’t accidents, and now Sebastian is accusing Christopher of being responsible for the death of his wife, Sarah.Could I truly be this blind? I ask myself, shaking my head as I pull into the driveway. Can my judgement really be this broken?I walk into the house without caring whether Christopher is home or not. I’m past worrying. My anger is too consuming, my need for answers too desperate.As I step into the living room, I see Agnes sitting on the couch, foldin

ElizabethThe steering wheel feels cold against my palms, even though the heater in the car is blasting.My fingers grip it tightly as I drive, the city blurring past me. My chest feels heavy, and my thoughts swirl like a storm. Too many questions haunt me, gnawing at the edges of my sanity.I take a sharp breath and force my focus back onto the road.My hands tremble slightly, but I press on. The car radio hums softly in the background, but I’m not listening. My mind keeps returning to Dr. Maggie Walker—my OBGYN through everything. She’d know. She had to know.Christopher's office offered no answers.The sight of the familiar plaza brings a strange mix of comfort and unease.I park in my usual spot, second from the end, where the shadow of the large oak tree shades the car. As I step out, the crisp air hits my face, and I tug my coat tighter around me. My boots click against the pavement as I make my way to the entrance.The plaza hasn’t changed much. The coffee shop on the corner st

ElizabethBack home, the silence is unbearable. It presses against my chest, heavy and stifling, as I step into the house. Edward’s cries still echo in my mind, piercing and raw, like a wound that won’t heal. I slam the door shut behind me, my breaths coming in shallow gasps.Damn the Bell family. Damn every single one of them.How did it come to this?I toss my bag onto the couch and make my way to the office, slamming the door behind me for good measure. The sound reverberates through the house, but it does nothing to calm the storm inside me. My hands tremble as I grip the edge of the desk. My vision blurs with unshed tears, but I force myself to stay upright.I did everything for them. For Christopher. For Edward. I gave up my dreams, my freedom, and my damn trust fund to help save their sinking company. And what did I get in return? Betrayal. Lies.I hate them. I hate him.And yet… I still can’t make sense of what Sebastian told me. Was he wrong? Was he lying?The uncertainty gna

ElizabethI’m pacing the study, my heels clicking against the wooden floor. The sound echoes in the otherwise silent room, but it does nothing to calm me. My hands are trembling, my heart racing so fast I can feel it pounding in my throat. I keep replaying the moment over and over in my mind, the words that spilled from Christopher’s declaration. “Divorce Agreement. Full custody of Edward awarded to the Father.How dare he? After everything he’s put me through?After all the cheating, the lies, and the bruises he left on my body?And to bring his mistress Celeste into our home, as though she belongs here, as though she has the right to witness this? My nails dig into the palm of my hand as I fight back the tears burning in my eyes.But these aren’t tears of heartbreak. No, that part of me—whatever love I had left for Christopher—died a long time ago.These tears are born of anger, a rage so fierce I feel it will consume me. I hear the heavy thud of footsteps approaching, and my b

ChristopherEverything is moving in slow motion.My mind feels like it’s swimming through molasses, stuck on Elizabeth’s words.How did she know about Sarah? How could she possibly know?It’s been years. I buried that part of my life so deep I thought it would never resurface. I made sure of it. And yet, somehow, she knows.I stare blankly at the wall, the voices of Elizabeth and Celeste fading into the background.What brought this back?Why is she suddenly so defiant, so bold?The Elizabeth I know—knew—was meek, a shadow of herself, broken under my control.But this Elizabeth, screaming accusations and wielding truths like weapons, is someone else entirely.I don’t hear the crash right away.It’s the sharp intake of Celeste’s gasp that jolts me back.My head snaps up, and then I hear it—the sound of wood splintering, something heavy hitting the floor below.I turn and run, my legs moving before my mind can catch up. Bursting out of the study, I see Celeste standing near the broken b

ElizabethThe air is warm, and the whispers in the wind carry a gentle melody that wraps around me like a soft embrace.It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the world stopped spinning so fast.A year of peace, happiness, and love. I take a deep breath, letting the warmth fill my lungs, and I can almost forget the pain that once consumed me.My father finally let me leave, and Sebastian had bought us a beautiful manor.He said it was the last thing Sarah had requested before she vanished.So far, she has kept her word and hasn’t returned. I glance around the garden, where flowers bloom in vibrant colors, a stark contrast to the darkness that once surrounded my life.We finally named our son Michael James Valdez, and Edward is more than happy to have two more siblings.The Bell name is nothing but a bad memory now, a shadow that lingers in the corners of my mind.But as I stand here, reading Christopher’s name out loud, I can still feel the pain and anger just below the surface.

Sebastian“Sarah!” I exclaim, the name escaping my lips like a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “So you came here, the last place I saw you before you pretended to be dead.” My voice steady but laced with an undercurrent of tension. “I did. You’re the only person who knows it, and I knew you would come searching at some point,” she explains, her eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sends a shiver down my spine.I walk over and sit opposite her, the familiar surroundings of the manor bringing back a flood of memories—some good, some painful. “The last time we were here…” she begins, her voice trailing off as she looks around, lost in thought.“You were cheating on me throughout,” I interject, the bitterness rising in my throat.“I was,” Sarah confirms, her gaze unwavering.“Why?” I ask, my heart pounding in my chest.“I don’t know, Sebastian. I loved Christopher, and I thought you could make me forget him. Turned out I was wrong,” she admits, her voice softening.“You co

SebastianThe sun hangs low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the ranch as Elizabeth and I sit on the porch. The wooden boards creak softly beneath us, and a gentle breeze rustles the leaves of the nearby trees.I glance at her, taking in the way the light dances in her hair, and I can’t help but feel a sense of peace, even amidst the chaos that has surrounded us.“I don’t think my father will ever let me leave this ranch again,” Elizabeth says, her voice tinged with frustration.“I know I wouldn’t,” I reply, releasing a long sigh.The weight of everything hangs heavy in the air between us. Things are awkward; the last time we were together, I didn’t know I had a son.When I asked her to marry me, she didn’t give me an answer. Everything has been a roller coaster since then—me being kidnapped, ending up shot and in a coma, and then her being kidnapped and almost dying. It’s been a whirlwind, and I can’t shake the feeling that we’re still caught in the storm.“So, I have a so

ElizabethThe dirt is cold beneath me. My body aches, every breath dragging fire through my chest. But I keep moving. I drag myself forward, inch by inch, the rough ground scraping against my skin. Smoke curls through the air ahead, thick and choking. I can see the commotion now—shadows moving, voices raised. I am so close. My lips part to call out, but the effort is too much. My body gives out. Darkness crashes over me like a wave. And then, through the void, I hear him. “Elizabeth!” Sebastian’s voice cuts through the silence. Desperate. Terrified. A weak smile tugs at my lips. He’s here. They all made it. And Sarah… Sarah actually saved them. The voices grow distant, fading like whispers in the wind. Everything gets lighter, quieter, until there is nothing at all. ……..Warmth surrounds me. Softness cradles my aching body. There is no pain here, only a strange sense of peace. Is this heaven? I inhale slowly, my chest rising with ease. The air smells familiar—clean linen, fr
LOVE HIS ENEMY: My Husband's Downfall Chapter 113
ElizabethShe looks different. Red hair. Green eyes. Lighter somehow, as if the weight of the past has peeled away all parts that were Celeste. But the anger—oh, the anger—is still there. It simmers beneath her skin, sharp and blistering.Sarah tilts her head, lips curling in amusement."Elizabeth, it seems you are a glutton for punishment." Her voice is the same. Cold. Mocking. A phantom from a life I barely remember. I struggle for breath, my ribs screaming with each inhale. "Well, you look different," I rasp between gasps, my body barely holding itself together. Sarah flicks a strand of red hair over her shoulder, eyes gleaming in the dim light. "Yeah… it felt more like me." She shrugs, as if shedding Celeste—the woman she once pretended to be—was as simple as changing clothes. "Her role was done." She turns her gaze to Christopher, her expression shifting into something darker. "Where have you been, my love?" she asks, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I’ve been looking for y

Elizabeth The stars. They spin above me like scattered jewels in the black sky, swirling and shifting, refusing to settle. My head throbs with a sickening pulse, each beat reminding me of the impact. I try to lift my hand to my temple, but the pain is almost too much to bear. My vision is blurry, and I taste metal on my tongue—my blood. Everything hurts. Everything is wrong. I blink rapidly, trying to clear my mind. The wrecked car door hangs open beside me. My body shakes with every breath I take. The world around me is spinning, but I force myself to focus. I need to move. I need to get out of here. Christopher. I twist my neck, forcing my heavy head to turn, and there he is—slumped over the steering wheel, motionless. His chest rises and falls in uneven breaths, but for now, he's still unconscious. Good. I can’t stay here. Not like this. I look around. There’s nothing, just endless darkness around me. But I can’t think about that now. I need to get away. I need to

ElizabethI can see the horror in their eyes. Sebastian. Eric. Detective Adams. They stand frozen, their bodies tense, their hands twitching at their sides as Christopher drags me toward the front door. Detective Adams's gun is steadily pointing at Christopher, but he is frozen in place.Their helplessness is written across their faces, burning into my soul like a scar I will carry forever. Sebastian’s eyes lock onto mine, wide and desperate, pleading for me to hold on, to fight.But I can’t fight. Not with Christopher’s bruising grip digging into my arm, not with his breath hot against my ear as he hisses, one wrong move and your children die. I watch, my breath catching in my throat, as Sebastian reaches into his pocket and pulls out a black card. The same card we all know will leave no trace. His hands tremble as he extends it toward Christopher, his fingers curling tightly around it like he wants to crush it into dust instead. "Take it," Sebastian spits, his voice laced with
LOVE HIS ENEMY: My Husband's Downfall Chapter 110
ElizabethI see an opening. The front door. It’s right there, just a few steps away. If I run now, I might make it before Christopher gets up. But my children. I can’t leave them. I won’t leave them. My heart pounds, my body screaming for escape, but my mind is already made up. I turn, my feet dragging against the floor as I push myself toward the staircase. I need to get to them. I need to make sure they’re safe. I take the first step, my legs burning, my ribs aching from Christopher’s last blow. But then I hear it—movement. “Elizabeth!” His furious scream echoes through the house, slamming into my back like a physical force. My entire body seizes with terror, but I don’t stop.I can’t stop.I push forward, every step feeling like a mile, every breath like shards of glass in my lungs. I can hear him behind me. Fast. Too fast. I force my legs to move, digging deep into whatever strength I have left. Just a little more. Just a few more steps. But then— BANG!The front door fl

ElizabethThe dining table stands between us. My breath is ragged, my pulse wild. Christopher watches me with a twisted smirk, his dark eyes burning with something cruel. The air in the room is thick, suffocating, pressing against my chest like an iron weight. "Where are you running to, Lizzy?" he asks mockingly, tilting his head like a predator cornering its prey. "I'm not running, Christopher," I say defiantly, my voice steadier than I expect. "Then stop." His tone sharpens into a command. "No, Christopher!" I scream, my hands trembling as I glance around, desperate for anything—a weapon, a way out, anything to put an end to this nightmare. "I will not let you leave my children without a mother. Not because you couldn't do better!" Christopher lets out a low, humorless laugh. His fingers twitch at his sides. "You're a menace to me, Elizabeth," he spits. "I married you to make my life better, to make my legacy stronger. But what did I get?" His voice rises, raw with rage. "You d
