My Cold Husband The Weight Of Promises
Aaron sat in his dimly lit study, the faint glow of the city skyline streaming through the windows. His mind wandered back to the events of the previous night-the way Alex had begged, pleaded, and crumbled before him. It wasn’t Alex’s cries that lingered in his mind now; it was Lily’s voice. He had asked Lily when did she want Alex killed and she said "tomorrow?" She’d said it so casually, as though she trusted him implicitly. It wasn’t her demand that haunted him-it was her words. "Tomorrow" Alex had stolen her innocence, the person who saw good even in the ugliest of hearts and he would never forgive him. Aaron wasn’t a man who cared much for deadlines unless they served his goals, but this time, he’d made sure Alex took his last breath before the clock struck midnight. Not for Alex. Not even for justice. For her. Lily hummed softly as she moved around the kitchen, preparing coffee. She didn’t seem tense, didn’t seem to carry the weight of what she’d asked him to do. If any

Lily's lips parted as if to say something, but no words came. She wasn’t sure what startled her more-the revelation of his darkness or the way he seemed to anchor it all in her. Why for her ? It's not possible that he has feelings for her is it ? The last thing she would want right now was another man. Aaron moved back, giving her space, but his gaze remained intense. “You wanted details. Now you have it.” "About Alex." Lily said, hesitantly. "This is the only one you get." Lily nodded slowly, her heart still pounding. “And the side I see…the one you say is just for me?” “That’s the only part of me that feels alive,” he admitted, his voice softer now but no less intense. “Don’t ask me to be anyone else, Lily. Because if you do...you might not like what you find.” He got up and walked away, leaving her rooted to the spot, her mind swirling with questions she wasn’t sure she wanted answers to. As the night grew deeper, the tension between them seemed to shift. She stoo

"The side you see of me every day is just for you, and the ones close to me." The weight of his words lingered, heavy and unshakable. She couldn’t ignore the shift in his demeanor-the way his usual warmth and lightheartedness had vanished, replaced by something darker, something she didn’t recognize. Her heart raced as she thought back to the look in his eyes. It wasn’t just anger or frustration. It was controlled, calculated intensity. It was as though for a brief moment, she had glimpsed a side of him he kept locked away from the world, a side he had chosen to reveal to her today. But why? Was he not who she thought he was ? She didn’t understand. Why had he said those things? What was he trying to prove or warn her about? Leaning back against the headboard, she hugged her knees to her chest, her thoughts spiraling. Aaron had always been an enigma, someone who hid as much as he showed. But until today, she had thought she understood him-or at least the parts of him he al

Aaron adjusted and she shifted again to make room for him, their knees brushing. The contact was accidental, but it sent a jolt through both of them. Lily froze for a moment, her eyes darting to his before quickly looking away. “Sorry,” she murmured, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear once again, the action not going unnoticed by Aaron. “It’s fine,” Aaron said quickly, though his chest felt tight. The room felt smaller now, the air between them charged. Aaron’s gaze drifted to her again, taking in the faint flush on her cheeks and the way her fingers fidgeted with the corner of her notebook. He knew he should look away, make some joke to break the tension. But his thoughts betrayed him, swirling with confusion and a sudden, overwhelming pull toward her. His eyes wouldn't tear apart from the sight in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, like they were stuck with glue or something. “You okay?” Lily asked, her voice quieter now. Aaron hesitated, his throat dry
Last Updated : 2024-12-12My Cold Husband Unspoken Confessions
A couple of days passed, Lily and Aaron's exams were now over, the last one was yesterday. They didn't talk much since their kiss, Lily avoided Aaron at all times but he was barely around the last few days and she was thankful for it. She wondered why he disappeared after coming back from the university, was he avoiding her as well ? Or was he too hurt because of Lily? Apparently, Aaron had tried to approach Lily several times: before the exams, after them, and even during breakfast. But every time, Lily either changed the subject or snapped at him without meaning to. She hated how rude she sounded, especially to Aaron, but she didn’t know how else to deal with the storm of emotions inside her. She was confused. For Aaron, he had started going to therapy, ever since Lily had started avoiding him, her avoidance felt like a knife to the chest. He had been wracking his brain over what went wrong, over whether the kiss had ruined everything between them. He decided she could use some

Lily’s heart raced as she listened, her emotions swirling in confusion. She didn’t know how to respond. The kiss had been unexpected, yes, but it wasn’t just him-it was her too. She’d stayed in that moment for a reason, though she couldn’t figure out why. “Aaron,” she finally said, her voice quiet, “it’s okay.” He blinked at her, his brows furrowing. “It doesn’t feel okay, Lily. You’ve been avoiding me ever since, and I-" He ran a hand through his hair, his frustration evident. “I miss talking to you. I miss us.” Her breath hitched, and she looked away, unable to meet his eyes. “I don’t know what to say,” she admitted, her voice was barely above a whisper. “I’m... confused.” His chest tightened, but he forced himself to nod. "I get that. And I don’t want to pressure you or make things harder. I just needed you to know that I didn’t mean to hurt you. That’s the last thing I’d ever want, Lily, I hope you know that." The sincerity in his voice made her stomach twist. She cou

“You’ve never done this before, Aaron,” Zared finally said, his voice low, almost a whisper. “You don’t protect people. Not like this.” Aaron’s expression didn’t falter. “You’re right. I don’t. But this time, I am. Leave.” "What is she to you ?" Aaron stood there, speechless, not answering his question. Zared swallowed hard, a mix of anger and something else-something closer to jealousy-twisting in his gut. He didn’t know what was happening between Aaron and Lily, but one thing was clear: she wasn’t just anyone to Aaron. Was he using her ? Or it was something deeper ? But Zared didn’t move. And that hesitation was all it took. Aaron’s fist collided with his jaw. The force of the punch sent Zared stumbling backward, his hand instinctively flying to his face. The taste of blood filled his mouth as Aaron advanced on him, his face twisted with rage. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Zared shouted, his voice tinged with both pain and anger. “You don’t get to look at her,

Aaron didn't know what to say. "Did you think I couldn't protect myself ? Do I seem weak to you ? Answer me." "I'it's not that, Lily," he hesitated " I just didn't want him to upset you again." "I can handle it myself, Aaron. Do you see what you've done to him? What is he dies ? What if something serious happens to him ? What if he can't make it ?" "Nothing will happen to him, Clara, call the ambulance." Lily was still holding him by his collar and Aaron refused to free himself from her hold. "You shouldn't be caring about him, Lily. He had made you suffer a lot more than this." His eyes pierced into her's. His gaze never leaving her, he held her hands which were tugging at his collar. "He'll be alright, I promise." The tense air in the hospital lounge was stifling. The white walls, the faint smell of antiseptic, and the muffled sounds of hurried footsteps and distant monitors only amplified the unease that had settled among them. Lily was sitting on one of the plas

My Cold Husband Threads of Midnight
There she was-sitting on the floor by the window, knees drawn to her chest, her arms wrapped tightly around them. Her caramel hair was unkempt, strands falling over her pale face. The moonlight washed over her frail figure, making her look even smaller, more fragile. “Lily…” Aaron’s voice was soft, cautious. She didn’t move, didn’t look at him. He stepped inside, his chest aching at the sight of her. Slowly, he lowered himself to sit beside her on the floor, his shoulder barely brushing hers. His heart ached, ached that the man who had caused her nothing but pain is still continuing to do it even after his death and Aaron couldn't do anything about it. “You don’t have to say anything,” he murmured, staring out at the same moonlit view she seemed fixated on. “But I’m here. I’ll always be here. I just want you to know." For a moment, it seemed like she might respond, her lips parting slightly, but then she closed them again, her gaze dropping to her knees, it made Aaron tak
My Cold Husband Depression and Remorse
He couldn’t shake the feeling, couldn’t silence the voice in the back of his mind screaming that Zared wasn’t gone. Zared was sharp, calculating, a man who wouldn’t fall so easily. But Aaron had no proof, no real reason to believe it-only a gnawing instinct buried deep in his chest. "He’s alive," the thought whispered again. But Aaron forced the thought away, shaking his head slightly before turning his attention back to Lily. She was still sitting there, small and fragile in the dim light, and he realized she needed comfort more than he needed answers to the questions clawing at his mind. “Hey,” he said softly, nudging her knee with his. “How about some hot chocolate? It won’t fix everything, but it might make this night feel a little less heavy.” Lily looked up at him, a ghost of a smile flickering across her lips for the first time that night. “Sure, thanks.” Aaron stood, his movements careful as if not to disturb the fragile calm that had settled between them. A few
My Cold Husband His House
For one fleeting moment, Lily felt him there-with her, surrounding her, a warmth that would linger in her heart long after she walked away from his home for the last time. "Oh, what have you done Zared." She said aloud. "Why did you have to do it, it was all your fault for turning your fate, why make me suffer by doing this." She sat on the couch with her head in her hands. Clara's home was dim when Lily returned, the faint glow of a lamp spilling light into the hallway. Her steps were slow, almost hesitant, as she pushed the door open and stepped inside. Aaron was pacing near the window, his phone clutched tightly in his hand, while Clara sat curled on the edge of the couch, her head snapping up the moment the door creaked. “Lily!” Aaron’s voice cut through the silence as he rushed towards her. “Where have you been? Do you have any idea how worried we’ve been?” Clara stood, her eyes wide with concern. “You didn’t answer your phone. We thought… we thought something happ
My Cold Husband Missing
The clock on the wall ticked loudly, each second stretching longer than the last. Clara sat on the couch, clutching her phone tightly in her hands, her thumbs hovering over the screen as if another call might suddenly bring an answer. “Aaron…” she said quietly, her voice trembling. “It’s been hours. She’s not picking up. Where could she have gone?” Aaron stood by the window, his back to her, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. His phone was already gripped in his palm, the screen blank after too many unanswered calls. “She wouldn’t just disappear like this,” he said, his voice sharp, his frustration barely contained. “Not without telling someone. Not after everything that’s happened.” Clara’s eyes shone with worry as she whispered, “What if something happened to her, Aaron?” Aaron turned, his expression softer now as he looked at her. “Don’t think like that. She’s okay. She has to be.” But even as he said the words, doubt gnawed at him. Without another word, Aaro
My Cold Husband Grief and Fear
Lily hesitated but eventually said, "Did you see how he did it?" She looked up at Aaron. "Did you see how he was found ? Laurent, the pictures on the news, they were so disgusting, he had...you must've seen." "I did." Aaron noticed the disgusted look on her face. He once again recalled how he had done it. How he had screamed like the goat when it is sacrificed, how his eyes went rolling behind showing only the white part. How he had joined his fingerless hands in front of him in order to be forgiven. "Maybe he deserved it...Zared, for what he did, Karma, they say?" She asked. Aaron nodded in response but remained silent. He knew he was betraying her, betraying her trust, taking advantage of the situation she was in, the trust she had at this vulnerable stage of her life. In the quiet of the room, Aaron’s guilt festered, hidden beneath the surface. Lily didn’t need to know the truth-not tonight, and maybe not ever. But that was for him to decide after. Aaron's mind was in t
My Cold Husband Beneath The Lies
His hand moved to the doorknob, twisting it slowly until the latch clicked open instead of knocking in case she was asleep. Peeking inside, he expected to see her resting, maybe curled up in the blankets. Instead, he found her awake, sitting stiffly on the edge of her bed. The moonlight cast a silvery glow across her features, making her appear ethereal and distant. She was staring out the window, her expression blank yet hauntingly sad, as though she were lost in a memory she couldn’t escape. She didn't deserve this, didn't deserve such a tragedy, she was way too nice for this world, for Zared. He didn't deserve her agony, her tears, her sleepless nights. Aaron hesitated again but finally stepped inside, giving a soft knock on the door to announce himself. The sound made her blink, breaking her trance. She glanced at him, her gaze piercing for the briefest second before it dulled again, returning to the view outside the window. Without waiting for an invitation, Aaron move
My Cold Husband Sleepless Night
Lily didn’t respond to Clara. She stared out the window, her mind replaying every second she’d spent with Zared, searching for answers that would probably never come. She thought about what thoughts must have consumed Zared when he decided to end his life. Was he thinking about her? Was he blaming her? Was he guilty of what he did? Or he just couldn't bear the thought of her leaving him? But again, why would she hold so much importance in his life for him to give it all up. His family, the company, his friends-though Lily knew none. Maybe it was a punishment? From god ? Maybe he wanted Zared to die in exchange of Laurent, maybe because he killed him? Maybe this was his revenge? She shook her head shooing all the thoughts away. The three of them were now back at Clara's house, the silence was comfortable, no one wanted to talk, Aaron, however wanted to comfort Lily, make her believe that it wasn't her fault. He knew she must be blaming herself, she was the last person to t
My Cold Husband Funeral
Lily, Aaron, and Clara walked briskly down the sterile, cold hallways of the hospital, their footsteps echoing, at the end of the corridor, where Zared’s parents and Aaron’s parents were standing together, faces etched with grief. The moment they approached, Lily saw Zared’s mother, her tear-streaked face crumpling further. “He’s already been moved,” Zared’s father said, his voice hoarse. “To the freezer. They’re preparing him for the funeral.” Lily froze mid-step, her heart sinking. She hadn’t realized how desperately she’d wanted to see him one last time. Her lips parted, but no words came out. “Why so soon?” Aaron asked, his voice laced with disbelief. “It’s the procedure,” Aaron’s father said, his voice heavy. “Once the body is declared and cleared, there’s no waiting.” Lily clenched her fists at her sides, overwhelmed by a mixture of grief and frustration. The chance to say goodbye was ripped away. All she had now were the memories-and the haunting, unanswered qu
My Cold Husband Echoes of Shock
A single tear rolling down his cheek before he collapsed back onto the bed, lifeless. "No,no,no,no." The news anchor’s voice filled the silence. “Zared Williams, known for his innovative contributions to technology and his efforts towards hi company, was pronounced dead at 10:47 p.m. Doctors have confirmed that his death was caused by the disconnection of critical life-support machines. Despite being close to a full recovery, it appears Mr. Williams made the decision to end his life. What the doctors are calling an apparent suicide." Tears welled in Lily’s eyes as her chest tightened painfully. She turned to Clara, who was still frozen in place, her hand trembling against her lips. “This…this isn’t real,” Lily murmured, shaking her head as if trying to wake herself from a nightmare. “It can’t be.” Clara finally looked at her, her eyes glistening with tears. “It is, Lily,” she whispered. “He’s…he’s gone.” Lily stumbled back, her legs weak beneath her. The weight of the news c
