Jace PovExcuse me officers, this can't be true.Only I and Lyla have access to the formula used in preparation of the drink.The same drink that was taken by everyone at the party last weekend?How come it's now poisonous to the public.The person in charge of mixing the drink was interrogated and claimed that Lyla paid him to add additional substances to the drink.Impossible, Lyla will never do such a thing, Jace said.Exactly,how can I do such a thing when all I ever wanted is for the company and family business to expand.The Government officials then asked for video footage to ascertain what actually went wrong, they showed him CCTV footage of a girl who looks exactly like Lyla and even wears her kind of clothes. To top that, they show him the receipt, showing that a huge amount of money left Lyla’s bank account. Jace, please don't listen to them, can't you see I've been framed here?I can't even remember the last time I went on a shopping spree.Can't you see this has been pl

Lyla’s POV“An illegal substance in my drink? That’s impossible,” Jace said, his voice a low, incredulous laugh. His usual confidence seemed rattled, though he tried to maintain composure. “We just rebranded that drink a few weeks ago. We even did the launch yesterday! How could something that just entered the market days ago test positive for anything? There’s been some sort of mistake, I’m sure of it.”The officer, a woman with short black hair and sharp eyes, stood her ground. “There’s no mistake, Mr. Jace. The lab results are clear. The drink tested positive for codeine and ethanol, both controlled substances. What’s worse, it’s widely consumed by underage children, which is illegal. We’ll have to take you in for questioning.”“No!” Mrs. Karev exploded. Her face was red with fury. “I won’t let you do this! Where’s your warrant?”“Here you go, ma’am,” the officer replied, handing over the arrest warrant. Mrs. Karev grabbed it quickly, scanning the document before glaring at Jace.T

Lyla's POVWe stayed in the car, waiting as the officers quickly took action. They cleared the press away, and although it was a struggle, they managed to do it. Eventually, we were led into the Feds building, where I sat beside Jace, we held hands as we waited for the state head. A wave of pain hit me in my stomach, but I did my best to hide it. I couldn’t let him see it—not now. He was already under so much stress, and I knew how deeply he cared about me. I didn’t want to distract him."I’ll be brief, Mr. Jace," the head of the department said, his tone formal. "This offense is serious. It’s a state-level crime, and you’re facing jail time and a hefty fine for the damages your company may owe. It could cost you a fortune."Jace shook his head. "As I said, Officer, this must be a mistake. There’s no way my drink could contain the substances you mentioned. It’s just not possible."I nodded in agreement. But the officer wasn't convinced. He reached into a drawer and pulled out a stack

Lyla’s POVI couldn’t calm Jace down. My own emotions were a whirlwind—shock and rage mixed together in a storm that left me speechless. The damage was unimaginable. Products worth millions had been ruined in an instant, and not a single thing could be saved. It felt like a nightmare, and in the midst of it, Jace was absolutely fuming. I didn’t know what to say to comfort him. Not now. Not when we were in the middle of a crisis. The only thing that mattered was finding out who was responsible for this sabotage.Jace shot up from his seat, his face twisted in anger. He grabbed the factory manager by the shirt, lifting him off the ground. The poor guy’s feet hung suspended in the air, his eyes wide with fear. I could see it in Jace’s face: if someone didn’t stop him soon, this could spiral into something worse.“Jace, please!” I couldn’t even finish my sentence before he turned and looked at me, his eyes wild with fury.“Who the hell sabotaged my product?” Jace’s voice thundered, his wo

I'm so disappointed in you.Babe, can't you see I've been framed here?How could you easily accept this without digesting it or better still have a second thought that someone has perfectly plotted this out to implicate me?

Lyla’s POVThe way Jace stormed out of his office sent a chill down my spine. I had no idea what his next move would be. I’d seen him angry before, but this time was different. When he looked at me, his eyes were burning with rage, and I could feel the fury radiating off of him from where I stood. My legs felt like they had turned to stone. It was as if the blood had stopped flowing, and I was rooted in place, unable to move. I was shocked—confused—and I had no idea who was behind this, but I knew I had been framed.I finally mustered enough courage to push myself up and head outside. As soon as I stepped into the open air, I saw the workers huddled together, murmuring amongst themselves. The moment they saw me, they stopped talking, and an uncomfortable silence fell over the scene.Everything had come to a halt—production, the office staff, even the truck deliveries. It felt as though time had stopped. I tried to call a cab, but for some inexplicable reason, my phone kept failing to

Lyla’s POV"No, no, no! This cannot be happening!" I screamed, frantically searching through my MacBook. My fingers trembled as I clicked through the folders, but no matter how many times I refreshed the screen, there was nothing—no footage, nothing left. Everything had mysteriously disappeared. My room, which had once been organized, was now a chaotic mess. Clothes were scattered across the floor, some spilling from the closet, while others were carelessly thrown around as though someone had broken in.But that wasn’t my concern. The only thing I cared about right now was the footage. The footage that had vanished, as if someone had erased it intentionally. My thoughts were a whirlwind of panic as I tried to comprehend what had happened.Bailey burst into the room, looking alarmed. Her eyes widened at the sight of me, disheveled and panicked. She froze in the doorway for a moment, confusion written all over her face."Lyla!" she exclaimed, rushing over to me. "What is wrong? Why are

Lyla’s POV.I felt like a shadow of myself, as if I no longer existed in this world, merely a hollow shell of what I once was. For days, I locked myself away in my room, refusing to step outside, and refused to eat anything. Mrs. Maddy and Bailey had become relentless, constantly begging me to eat, to drink something, anything. But I couldn’t hear them. My heart was shattered, ripped apart in an instant, and the weight of the pain crushed me. My world had fallen apart right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.I lay on the bare floor, the coldness of it seeping into my bones, my body heavy and weak. The only thing I managed to do was drink water, just to keep myself from passing out. That was all. Nothing else. I starved myself, trapped in a vicious cycle of hurt, convinced I didn’t deserve to nourish my body when everything inside me felt so broken.It was one of those days when I woke up on the cold floor, the agony in my head so intense that it felt as thoug

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
Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 92
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
