Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 61
Chad's POV.Becky’s eyes were burning with fury, and I could see it in her expression—she was beyond shocked. The words I had just spoken hit her like a ton of bricks, leaving her gasping for air. She hadn’t expected it, and I could tell it was tearing her apart.“How dare you! How dare you do this, Chad?” she screamed, her voice shaking with anger.“Oh, really?” I shot back, my tone sharp and bitter. “You’re going to raise your voice at me and act like you’re the innocent one?”She took a step forward, her fists clenched at her sides, but I stood my ground. “Aside from spending your money, what else did I do?” Her voice grew louder, each word dripping with disdain. “So you took my baby—or should I say our baby—to get a DNA test, just because I spent your money? What’s wrong with you, Chad? What has come over you?”I could barely keep my composure. I was beyond frustrated, my heart pounding in my chest. “You’ve got to be delusional if you think I did that for the money,” I said coldly

Chad's Pov As i sat on the bathroom floor, with my head resting against the cold tile wall trying to ease my head. The shower has long turned lukewarm but I couldn't bring myself to move out of the spot. My mind was filled with a mixture of betrayal,doubt and regret.Becky was still outside the bathroom door,her sobs barely audible.But I was confused,was she crying because she was actually innocent or because she was scared of being caught?I was already catching a cold as I sat there in the bathtub, confused and not knowing what else to do, I gradually ran a shaky hand through my wet hair. The image on my phone has constantly remained on my mind —a man, standing too close to Becky, with his hand resting just an inch above her lower back. That definitely wasn’t some casual business meeting. The intimacy in their sitting position told me otherwise.Then, there was the DNA test. The question that kept me awake with my mind sailing into a deep ocean.And what if the baby wasn’t mine?

Lyla’s POV.It was Bailey’s wedding day, a day that should’ve been full of joy, excitement, and celebration. Yet here I was, struggling to keep myself together, my emotions tangled in a mix of excitement and confusion. I should’ve been over the moon for her, but all I could feel was a wave of sadness threatening to consume me. Bailey was leaving—leaving to start a new chapter in her life, one where she would be with her husband. And me? I would be alone in the mansion. The place that had once felt like home now felt cold and empty. The reality of it all weighed heavily on my heart. I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. I wanted to run away, to escape, to bury myself in some kind of distraction that would make this day go by faster. But I couldn’t. I was bound to Jace by a contract—one I couldn’t break. It was a prison of sorts, a constant reminder that I was stuck in a life I hadn’t chosen. The thought of it alone made me sick to my stomach. I was carrying his children, my pregnancy

Lyla's Pov The ride to the hospital was the toughest I had ever experienced,it was filled with pain and panic.Jace held unto me tightly in the backseat of the car,his grip firm yet gentle. His expression hardly readable…laced with worry, fear or guilt? . That wasn't something I intended to cloud my thoughts with at the moment because the pangs of pain I felt overshadowed everything.But I was scared,I wasn't due to have my babies yet, “please God nothing should happen to my unborn children, I prayed silently in my heart”.The contractions became unbearable each time stronger then the last,my breathing was shallow, my body trembling as i held unto Jace's shirt simply because i needed something or someone to hold unto.Jace sensing how impatient I was to get to the hospital already whispered softly “We’re almost there,” his voice clouded with something unfamiliar.I wanted to scream at him telling him all this was his fault only he was more kinder and present at the time I needed him

Lyla’s POVThe hotel hall was a grand sight, meticulously decorated for the wedding reception. It was vast enough to accommodate twenty thousand people, each seat carefully arranged, glowing with the soft shimmer of chandeliers. Yet, amidst the beauty and celebration, a storm raged inside me. My contractions were growing more intense, their sharp waves hitting with an unrelenting force. The weight of what was happening felt impossible to ignore. My breath came in shallow bursts, my whole body trembling as the pain coursed through me.I had been supposed to stand beside Bailey, my sister, as her Maid of Honor, a position of pride I’d been honored to take on. But now, I was anything but that. All I could focus on was the pain, and the growing fear in my chest. My first pregnancy was never meant to be this difficult. And to make matters worse, I was carrying twins. I had been warned, of course, but nothing could have prepared me for this.Jace was there, though, his presence a strange co

Chad’s POVI was glued to my screen, staring at Bailey’s wedding broadcast. The event was everywhere—on blogs, social media, and even on news outlets. I couldn’t help myself. I had to watch. When I first caught sight of her, I was shocked. She looked so different. She was bigger than I remembered, but in a beautiful way. It was clear she had blossomed over the years. And now, her sister was getting married to Collins—Jace’s right-hand man. I couldn’t fathom how she had ended up with him. But, still, I thought to myself, I wish her well.However, there was one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about. Lyla. I could see her from the corner of the screen. Lyla looked amazing—she was glowing, more radiant than I had ever seen her. But she also looked... different. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Was she pregnant? She looked a bit plump around the face and belly, but she was still breathtaking. Her smile was contagious, and when I saw her, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion rush over m

Bella's POVI was deep in sleep, wrapped in the warmth of my blankets when a faint knock echoed through my dreams. At first, I brushed it off, thinking it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. But the knock came again—calm, steady, persistent—and this time, I had no choice but to acknowledge it. My voice was thick with sleep as I groggily called out, barely able to open my eyes."Yes? Who is it?""It's me, Mrs. Maddy," came the soft reply.I groaned, pulling the covers over my head, not quite ready to face the world. "Come back later, Mrs. Maddy. I’m so sleepy and tired."Her voice had an edge of worry as she spoke again. "It's Henry, he refuses to eat. He said he wants wraps for breakfast, but we've run out of tortilla wraps. I don’t know what to do, he won’t eat anything else, and his school bus will be here soon!"I could hear the anxiety in the nanny’s voice. Henry was often like this—some days he was a perfect angel when it came to meals, eating whatever was put in front

Lyla’s POVI couldn’t shake the loneliness that had crept into my life since Bailey left for her honeymoon. I should’ve been happy for her—she deserved this time of peace and joy with her new husband—but a heavy weight lingered in my chest. Bailey was gone, and I was left to handle the emptiness alone. To make matters worse, just before she left, her staff had been transferred to Collin’s house. I wasn’t sure how to feel about that. The whole situation was strange and unsettling, but there was nothing I could do about it.It had been two weeks since the wedding and the incident that changed everything. Jace had gone away on a work trip shortly after. And while I had hoped that time away would provide some relief, it only gave the others in the house more time to mistreat me. Sasha and Mrs. Karev made my life unbearable, reminding me daily that I was nothing more than a maid in their eyes. I hated myself for what I had allowed my life to become, but I couldn’t find the strength to brea

Bailey's POV The guest bathroom was quiet, too quiet. Bailey stood over the sink, clutching her phone like it might burn her skin. Her thumb hovered over the number.“K.”No last name. No picture. No call history before now.She opened the contact.Nothing but a blank number. No clues. No metadata. Just one thing: the message had come from that number moments before the call was logged.Her heart thudded. She could hear laughter outside the door—her family, the new found peace. She didn’t want to disrupt that. Not again.But the name. "Protected Asset".Why her?There was a time when she believed everything Lyla told her. That they were simply survivors of a dangerous time. That they had gotten lucky. That the world was finally safe again. But the older Bailey got, the more her instincts sharpened—and they had been whispering for months now.There were gaps in her story.Memories that felt inserted. Emotions that didn’t align. And now this strange call that she didn’t make.Outside t

The Thanksgiving HourLyla's POV The scent of cinnamon and toasted rosemary drifted through the house like a calming melody, wrapping each room in a warmth that made time appear to stretch. The living room boomed with the soft hum of old jazz records playing on a speaker Lyla refused to replace. In the backyard, the kids laughed with joy, their laughter riding the swing set into the soft golden light of late afternoon.Inside the kitchen, Lyla stood over the mashed potatoes, her sleeves rolled up and her face dripping of sweat which she wiped off occasionally with her elbow.She stirred them methodically, humming along with the music while her apron—one Claire had gifted her years ago that read Master of the House—absorbs the chaos of cooking.“Hey!” Chad called from the stove at the other side of the kitchen. “Do sweet potatoes burn faster if you stare at them?”Lyla laughed. “Yes. The potatoes can sense fear.”Bailey entered with her hair up in a high ponytail and two pies balance

Bailey's POV The rain came down in a quiet drizzle as Bailey wandered the campus garden, the fog from her breath mingling with the early morning chill. Her textbooks were still in her bag, unread. Sleep had eluded her. Not from exams or stress.But because of that dream again.The same hallway. White tile. The same phrase clung into her memory like a scar.“She was never supposed to know.”She had not told anyone yet, not even Lyla. But last night, she had stayed late in the medical lab and submitted a sample for a DNA test—one she had been carrying around in her mind for months but never had the courage to confront.She will have the results by tonight.And a feeling deep in her chest told her nothing would be the same after that.Jace paced in the hidden room beneath the clinic. It had been two days since they found Becky’s twisted letter to Bailey, and still, the questions piled higher than answers.Lyla sat across him, surrounded by old files. A folder already damaged with water

Jace POV The next morning, the sun was already hot against the windows of Karev Medical & Wellness center. Jace had barely managed three hours of sleep.Lyla made him coffee while reviewing files. Neither spoke about the trapdoor, the lily, or the voice message just yet. Not until they had more information.The bell above the door chimed.Jace looked up—and froze.An elderly man in a tailored navy coat stepped inside. He walked with a slow, deliberate limp. Silver hair, sharp eyes. Something about him screamed military or something worse.The man held out a letter. “Dr. Jace Karev?”“Yes,” Jace said carefully.“I was told you’re the only one who can help.”Jace opened the letter.It was hand-written. “This man should be dead. On record, he is. But he isn’t. Help him—and you’ll start to understand what they erased from your past.Don’t trust the files.From_A Friend.”Jace gasped. “Who gave you this?”The man looked around nervously. “She told me to come here.

Bailey's POV The emergency lights flickered in the archive room, throwing Bailey and Callum into crimson shadows. The girl—A-11—stood eerily calm between the cabinets.Bailey’s breath hitched. She couldn’t look away.Same height. Same build. Same eyes.But there was something off about her… like a reflection bent by time and darkness.“You’re lying,” Bailey whispered. “I don’t have a sister.”“No,” the girl replied coolly, “you have an upgraded prototype.”A-11 stepped forward, lifting a finger and tapping the metal case with a smug smile. “Everything you need to know about me is in there. Right next to the pages that say you were supposed to be terminated before age five.”Bailey recoiled. “Terminated?”Callum moved protectively in front of her.The girl chuckled. “Relax. You’re useful now.”Gunshots echoed again in the distance.“They’re coming,” she added. “You have two minutes before this place gets turned into ash. Make a choice, Bailey. Come with me—or die like the others.”Bail

Jace POVJace was overwhelmed at the quick completion of his clinic, one that he has always wanted to own but his father insisted he carries on with the family business after the demise of his elder brother.But right now, everything was finally falling into place and he couldn't be less excited.At last, he'll be able to practice as a neurologist, something he has wanted all his life.The morning air held the faint scent of rain, the pavement still damp from an early downpour. Jace stood just beneath the bronze plaque as the drill clicked off, leaving behind the last echo of steel on the brick.KAREV MEDICAL & WELLNESS CENTER Dr. Jace KarevThe words unscripted in gold glittered caught in the rising sun like a diamond carved into metal.He took a step back, arms crossed, heart beating just a little faster than he would like to admit. Not for the plaque—but for what it meant.A clean slate.He hadn’t told his father. He hasn't seen the need to. For once, Jace wasn’t chasing legacy. H

Bailey's POVIt was the beginning of the year in medical school,Bailey Turner had never been so excited as she would finally be a neurosurgeon, it's something she had wanted right from her childhood.She got to the gate and waited beneath the arch of St. Clair Medical School’s East Wing, the frosty morning air pulling at the tips of her chestnut hair. She gripped the strap of her schoolbag as though it were a soothing relief to the tension already building within her and gazed up at the building's glass exterior. Rain had created lines on the surface resembling ghost fingers. She took a deep breath.This wasn’t just any school. It was the dream Claire had whispered into her ear since childhood. It was the life that had almost been stolen from her again and again—by shadows, betrayal, and secrets that still clung to her skin like smoke.Now? It was hers.She stepped through the door, clutching the faded photo of her, Lyla, and Claire one last time before sliding it into her coat.Room

Becky’s POV “No, this is unacceptable. None of this makes sense,” Becky said, her voice raised as she ransacked her old hospital files. “If we are not her parents, then where did she come from?”Chad lifted a dusty box marked “Olivia – Birth.”Inside were photos, documents, the footprint card… and then—“Where’s the birth certificate?” he asked.Becky froze.“I… it was always there.”They tore through every folder, drawer, envelope. Nothing.Chad turned pale. “She must have taken it.”“Lyla?”He nodded. “She knew this day would come.”But Becky noticed something else in the box—a small piece of paper tucked inside a baby photo. It wasn’t handwritten. It was typed, and it was coded.It read:"Room 408. 11:47 p.m. Not the one she expected. Claire switched the vial."Becky’s eyes widened. “Claire again.”She immediately pulled out her phone from her purse and dialed a number. “Who are you calling?” Chad asked inquisively. “An old contact,shs said. Someone who worked night shifts that

Lyla’s POV Lyla rose from her seat. This time, her expression faltered —just slightly.“She was never supposed to be mine,” she began quietly. “When I found out Chad cheated, I was furious. I wanted out, but I couldn’t lose everything at once. I had just discovered he was infertile.”Becky stared at her. “So you stole—”“No,” Lyla interrupted. “I made a deal.”She turned to the judge. “That hospital wasn’t just where Becky was restrained. It was where I paid to have her artificially inseminated.”Gasps exploded in the courtroom.“What?” Chad stood again. “That’s not possible. That’s not—”“She signed consent while sedated,” Lyla said. “Technically, the paperwork was in order. I chose the donor. I ensured the embryo was viable.”Becky clutched the side of the wooden chair to keep herself from falling.“You turned me into a surrogate?”Lyla didn’t blink. “You were already falling apart. I gave you purpose.”The judge stared in horror. “This… This is a criminal offense. This is beyond
