Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 26
Lyla’s POVSasha was taken aback when I slapped her, clearly not expecting me to react that way. She had assumed I’d be passive, letting her do whatever she wanted. But as soon as she crossed the line, I didn’t hesitate. The slap brought her back to reality.“How dare you raise your hands to me?” I demanded, my voice cold and steady.The shock on Sasha’s face was evident, but her anger quickly followed. She stepped toward me, but before she could get any closer, Bailey positioned herself between us, a clear warning in her posture.“Don’t even think about it,” Bailey said, her voice firm. “If you try anything, it won’t end well for you.”Sasha glared at her. “And who are you?”“I’m Lyla’s sister,” Bailey said, unflinching. “And if you keep treating people like this, you’ll regret it. Mrs. Maddy here is like family, and you spilled your drink on her without an ounce of decency. I won’t stand by and watch that. The next time you try this, I will beat you to a pulp and what I would do to

Lyla's POVFor some reason, I felt a wave of panic wash over me. I couldn’t pinpoint why, but I knew whatever was coming wasn’t good. Jace’s mother was about to make a mountain out of a molehill, and I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. Bailey noticed the sudden shift in my mood and raised an eyebrow.“Did you see something? Why the change in mood?” she asked, concern in her voice.“Jace just got discharged from the hospital,” I replied, trying to sound casual, but the words felt heavy.“Oh, wow! That’s exciting!” Bailey said, her eyes lighting up. “You should be thrilled, right? Why are you frowning? Aren’t you happy your husband’s coming home?”“I am happy, it’s just…” I hesitated, trying to find the right words. “Jace’s mom is coming to the house too, and Sasha already reported what happened today to her. You know she doesn’t like me, and she’ll make a huge deal out of everything.”Bailey frowned and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “That shouldn’t bother you at all. You

Lyla’s POVIt had been two months since Jace was discharged from the hospital, and things had been anything but peaceful. Sasha had moved in with us, and she was a force to be reckoned with—an endless storm of drama and desperation. Every day, she seemed to find a new way to get Jace’s attention. Whether it was cooking for him or coming into his room to remind him to take his medication, nothing seemed to work. No matter what she did, Jace ignored her, constantly putting her in her place whenever she overstepped.His mother had recently gifted her another engagement ring—a diamond so large that it made mine look tiny by comparison. I didn’t care, though. I knew what was real between Jace and me, and no shiny rock could change that.Sasha, however, seemed determined to flaunt the ring at every opportunity, especially around me. I could see her trying to provoke a reaction, but I remained unfazed. I had bigger things to focus on—like Jace.One morning, I was sitting in the bed room with

Lyla’s POVThe drama with Sasha wasn’t completely over, but we had managed to make it through the day. Mrs. Maddy was back, and she took over the kitchen, making a wonderful dinner for us. I had already made pasta for lunch, but when Mrs. Maddy arrived, she seamlessly took charge. Jace, as usual, wouldn’t let me lift a finger.When I brought his dinner up to him, he was sitting with his back against the bed, absorbed in his computer screen.“You can’t be serious, Jace,” I said, raising an eyebrow as I stepped into the room. “What do you think you’re doing?”“Working, of course,” he replied, not even looking at me.“Are you kidding me?” I huffed. “You want your mother to have my head on a platter?” I reached for the laptop, but he swiftly turned it away from me.“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, his voice mildly annoyed.“Stopping you from working,” I shot back.“Stop acting like my mum,” he said, his tone soft but firm. “I’m not invalid. I’m a grown man, and I can take care

Lyla’s POVA wave of panic swept over me as Bailey fussed around my closet, trying to help me pick out an outfit. I could feel my anxiety building, tightening in my chest. It was like a storm that I couldn’t control. I'd never been this anxious before, and I struggled to get a grip on my emotions."If you don’t calm down, you’re going to wet yourself," Bailey said, rolling her eyes. She glanced at a peach-colored blazer, holding it up in front of me. "Why are you shaking like you just caught a cold?""I have to present at a board meeting," I muttered, trying to steady my breath. "Jace’s family doesn’t even like me. His father, uncle, mom... they’re all on the board. What if they try to tear me down when I present? What if I mess it up? Is this really a good idea? Should I just turn it down?" My hand pressed against my forehead, and I could barely breathe. I felt like I might pass out."You're overthinking this. You're intelligent, you’re smart, and you’ve done presentations before," B

Lyla’s POV.No one can truly take away a mother’s love for her child. In the midst of my pain, tears fell from my eyes—not because of how I felt, but because, despite everything, I wasn’t thinking about myself. I was thinking about my unborn babies, hoping they were okay. The contractions had stopped, and I felt better, but everyone was still by my bedside—except for Sasha, who had gone on a shopping spree with Jace’s mom. I could see the worry in everyone’s eyes. I had drifted off for a bit while Mrs. Maddy took care of me, but when I opened my eyes, Jace was there, sitting by my side. His gaze was fixed on me, filled with concern.“How are you feeling, Mama?” he asked softly, planting a gentle kiss on my arm. His touch made me smile.“You all didn’t have to watch over me like I’m a toddler. I’m fine, I promise,” I reassured them, trying to ease their worry.“Well, you scared the hell out of all of us!” Collins blurted, his voice tense with frustration. “Why didn’t anyone tell me abo

Lyla’s POVBailey was shattered. She couldn’t stop crying. For days, she hadn’t eaten, and despite all my attempts, she wouldn’t speak to me. All the food I left in her room went untouched. It hurt to watch her like this.“I can’t believe he would do this to me, after everything. Why are men like this?” Bailey sobbed, her voice shaking. The floor around her was littered with tissues, and I feared that if she didn’t stop, she’d make herself sick. I didn’t know what to say, anything that could make it better. All I could do was hold her.“I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but maybe it’s better this way. It’s better it ended now, before things went any further,” I said softly, gently placing her head on my shoulder. I patted her back, feeling the heat rising from her skin. Her fever was getting worse, and I worried she might develop something serious if she didn’t eat or sleep.“What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I find someone who will actually love me?” she whispered between sobs.I didn

Lyla’s POVJace’s mother didn’t break eye contact. Her gaze was cold and intense as she scrutinized me from head to toe. Thankfully, I was wearing an outfit that hid the shape of my tummy, concealing my baby bump.“I’ve just been resting and taking care of Jace,” I said quickly, trying to deflect. “I guess that’s why I’ve put on a little weight.” I forced a smile, but it faltered too quickly for me to recover.“That’s not what I asked, Lyla.” Her voice was sharper now, louder. “I asked, are you pregnant?”“Come on, Mum!” Jace’s voice cut through the tension as he stepped in front of me. He was clearly irritated. “Give her a break! If she’s pregnant, you’ll be the first to know.”“Good. She better not be,” Mrs. Karev snapped, her tone now cold and emotionless. “The only person allowed to carry your child is Sasha. So, this one here better not be pregnant.”I could feel my face flushing, the tension thick in the air. Just as the situation was becoming unbearable, a voice from behind int

Lyla's POV“Who were you talking to?” Jace’s voice cut through the air, sharp and demanding. His anger was palpable, reverberating across the space between us. His hand clamped down on my arm, and for a second, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The grip was tight, almost possessive, and it reminded me of all the times before, when I’d felt trapped in this exact kind of moment—his fury, my frustration, the tension building between us. I fought to keep my composure, my chest tightening as I tried to pull away.“What are you talking about?” I snapped, my voice laced with irritation as I yanked my arm out of his grasp. The last thing I wanted was to be controlled by him in front of all these people. I didn’t need to explain myself, not to him, not anymore.“You better not play dumb with me,” Jace demanded, his voice rising. The more agitated he became, the more his grip tightened on my nerves. “I saw you talking to someone. Who was it?”“Let go of me!” I shot back, trying to break free. “Wh

Lyla’s POVI folded my arms across my chest, a habit that had become second nature when I was trying to hide my emotions. My arms were positioned firmly at breast level as I stared at Abel. A scoff escaped my lips before I could stop it.“What did you just say?” I moved closer to him, my eyes narrowing, trying to read his expression.“You heard me correctly, Lyla,” Abel’s voice was cold, almost mocking. “I’m going to tell my father and my uncle about Bailey’s kidnapping, and I’ll make sure they know exactly what you’re doing—all of this to get your sister out. How do you think they’ll react when they find out you’ve played them both twice? Do you really think the contract you have with Jace is enough to shield you from their wrath?”His words were meant to strike fear into me, but I wasn’t intimidated. I held his gaze firmly, my arms still crossed. I wasn’t afraid of him or his threats. Abel was many things, but he wasn’t someone who could rattle me. Not now, not after everything.Abe

Lyla's POVEverything was finally in place. The warehouse was packed with crates of the new drink, and the press had already arrived to cover the production of the latest strawberry-flavored beverage. It was an important day for the Karev family, one that would bring them both publicity and, hopefully, profits.Mr. Karev was present, of course, though he was accompanied by his mistress. Mrs. Karev, on the other hand, looked absolutely miserable, her frown unwavering throughout the entire event. It wasn't just because we had ignored her wishes—it was because the woman standing beside Mr. Karev, who was laughing and leaning into him, was none other than her old friend. The woman who had, years ago, swooped in to steal Mr. Karev away from her."Can you believe this?!" Sasha hissed, her voice dripping with disgust. "The audacity! Who does she think she is? Look at them! They're practically holding hands in front of everyone. This is not good for your image as the leader of the Universal W

Lyla’s POV“Are you insane? I will never let that happen, not under my watch! Have you completely lost your mind? Your father and I worked so hard to build this company and the reputation you’re trying to destroy! What the hell has come over you?” Mrs. Karev’s voice was sharp, every word cutting through the room like a knife. The anger in her eyes was undeniable, a storm brewing behind them as she raked Jace with her gaze. She had just learned about the plans to open another factory for the production of the illegal drink, and she was having none of it.I stood frozen at the edge of the doorway, barely daring to breathe, as the argument unfolded before me. The tension in the room was suffocating, every word from Mrs. Karev fueled by disbelief and frustration.“This is the only way we can save Bailey, Mum,” Jace replied, his voice firm, but there was a hint of desperation beneath it. He was never one to back down, especially when it came to people he cared about. “The Mafia boss is a v

Lyla’s POV“I don’t know what to do… I’m so worried about my wife. I can’t even tell if they’re treating her well or if they’re hurting her! That Don… he’s a terrible, wicked man. I just hope he’s not doing horrible things to Bailey.” Collins’ voice cracked with emotion, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I saw a man cry. The tears flowed down his face, his body shaking with the weight of his anguish. I had never seen him like this—so raw, so vulnerable. Collins, usually the calm and collected one, had lost all semblance of control.The only person standing by his side in that moment, holding him together, was Jace. He stepped toward Collins, wrapping his arms around him in a comforting hug. The embrace was silent, but the emotion in the room was palpable. My own eyes stung with tears, but this was different. I had cried countless times in the privacy of my room, but seeing Collins break down like this… it shattered me in ways I couldn’t describe.I couldn’t deny it—Col

Lucas’s POV“I exchanged contacts with Sofia. She was the one who insisted, and it would’ve been rude to turn her down. She was all over me last night. She didn’t want to let me go; she was grinding and whining her waist on me. I won’t lie to you, bro! I felt really uncomfortable. What if Bella saw us together? It would’ve been disastrous. I couldn’t even hold hands with her. My eyes were busy scanning the whole environment, trying to make sure no one saw us,” I said into the phone, narrating the events of the previous night to James. He already knew who Sofia was—he’d been there with me back in high school. He knew how much trouble she used to cause.“Dude, you need to avoid Sofia like the plague!” James’s voice came through clearly, a mix of frustration and disbelief. “You know that girl is trouble! You always got into trouble because of her back then in school. You never did your assignments because you were always focusing on her, helping her with hers. You were always late to sch

Lyla’s POVI knocked lightly on the door, holding my arm across my chest. My heart was racing, and every instinct inside me screamed to turn around and leave. But something kept me rooted in place. When no answer came, I hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. It was unlocked, just slightly ajar.Stepping inside, I was met with an unsettling silence. I’d hoped Sasha wouldn’t be there—she wasn’t—but the tension I carried with me still lingered. It wasn’t that I was scared of Sasha, but more of the potential conflict that seemed to always swirl around her. I wasn’t in the mood for a confrontation. Not now, not when Bailey was still missing, and I had no idea where she was or what might be happening to her.As I entered the room, my eyes scanned the familiar space. I moved slowly, my body almost on autopilot, but my mind was racing. The memories came flooding back in waves, each one crashing into me with surprising force. I hadn’t been in this room in so long, and it felt li

Lyla’s POV“Now is not the time, Chad. How did you even get my number in the first place?” I asked, my voice sharp and tinged with frustration. My head was pounding, and we had been stuck on Bailey’s situation for days. There hadn’t been any substantial updates in what felt like forever, and the silence was starting to get to me. The anxiety, the not knowing—it was wearing me thin. I had no idea how Chad had gotten my contact information. I never used the complimentary card he gave me when we met, and the fact that he had my number felt… suspicious.“Look, Lyla, I just care about you. That’s all,” Chad’s voice came through the phone, softer than usual, almost gentle. “I heard about Bailey’s kidnapping, and I just want you to know that I’ll be here if you need me.”His words caught me off guard. Chad had never sounded so genuine in my life. There was something in the way he spoke, a sincerity I hadn’t heard before. It brought a strange sense of peace to my troubled mind, but it also ma
Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 86
Lyla's POVI tried calling the number again, my fingers shaking as I dialed. But once more, it wasn’t connecting. My heart skipped a beat. The officer had been right all along—Bailey had been kidnapped, and I knew she was in grave danger. The message had been so brief, so cold. No details, no demands. Just a simple, chilling sentence: “We have your sister.”I stared at my phone, my mind racing. "Oh my God! They just messaged me! They just messaged me!" I shouted, almost in disbelief, as I clutched the phone tighter. My voice echoed in the empty room, and for a moment, I couldn’t even process the enormity of the situation. The message was unsettlingly simple, and now that I tried calling the number back, I realized it wasn’t connecting. Whoever sent it had used a burner phone, making it impossible to trace.My loud cry didn’t go unnoticed. From upstairs, Mrs. Maddy hurried down, followed closely by Sasha. Sasha came rushing down the stairs with a look of annoyance, clearly startled by
