All Chapters of Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lyla’s POV. I rushed to the location Jace gave me; it was the location of his warehouse. He didn't want me to come, but I needed to see the face of the monster that shot my sister. I picked up the car keys and drove to the warehouse; it was almost midnight so the road was free. I was driving above 100 miles per hour and at that point, I didn't care if I got pulled over or not. I arrived at the warehouse and drove in, parked the car outside and walked down to the basement where Jace had asked me to come. I got to him and I couldn't see the face of the guy clearly because he was tied to a chair and his face was covered in bruises and blood. Jace was seated at the end of the room and his legs were on the table as he puffed his big cigar. His boys were the ones handling the criminal; Jace had about 20 men present in the warehouse that night. “You monster!” I rushed to hit him but I was taken aback when I saw the face of the person; it was Bailey’s childhood sweetheart, Richard. When

Lyla's POVI stepped out of the bathroom and made my way to the closet to change. As I was rummaging through my clothes, I saw Jace, already dressed and preparing for work."Oh, you're finally out," he teased, raising an eyebrow. "I was starting to wonder if you were ever going to come out. You took longer than usual in the shower today.""Well," I said, shrugging as I pulled on a blouse, "I was enjoying the peace and quiet. Didn't want to leave the shower, honestly.""Did you hear the news?" Jace's tone was more serious now, and I could tell something was on his mind."What news?" I asked, feeling a slight itch in my ear. I hoped it wasn’t anything bad."Chad’s company just lost over $10 million," he said, his voice low.Apparently,Chad added Becky to his board of directors, and she advised him to invest in a deal that completely fell apart. Now, his company's net worth is plummeting. If they don’t turn things around soon, they're going to end up in a lot of debt."What?" The shock h

Chad’s POVI hated her. I didn’t want to see her, didn’t want to think about her. The fact that she had somehow survived the accident, and then married my sworn enemy, Jace, left me seething. Every time I thought of Lyla, my blood boiled. She had been nothing but bad luck for me. My life was better off without her—at least, that’s what I kept telling myself.We were married for over five years before we separated, and the weight of those years without children had gnawed at me. Then, out of nowhere, Becky—my side chick—had gotten pregnant. The joy that surged through me when I found out I was going to be a father was overwhelming. It felt like I’d finally found a glimmer of happiness after everything that had gone wrong in my life. I was going to do whatever it took to protect this newfound joy, and I was certain it would be the start of something better.But, as much as I tried to bury my past with Lyla, fate has a way of bringing two lost souls together in the most unexpected ways.

Lyla’s POV.The phone call came in like a lightning strike, jagged and fast.“Your sister just woke up from the coma. She’s been calling for you ever since. Please, how fast can you get to the hospital? She needs to see you to stay calm.”I collapsed to the floor, unable to keep myself together. My hand trembled, and the phone slipped from my grasp. Jace, who had been nearby, rushed to my side, thinking something tragic had happened. I could barely form words through the overwhelming flood of emotions.“She’s awake! She’s awake!” was all I managed to yell, my voice cracking from the weight of the relief flooding my system. My anxiety had spiked the moment I saw the call from the hospital, and I had been paralyzed by fear until this moment.Jace immediately pulled me into his arms, wrapping me tightly in an embrace. “It’s alright. It’s alright. She’s alive. Bailey is okay,” he repeated, trying to calm me down as my body shook with a mixture of shock and relief.I tried to steady myself

Lyla's POV."Sis, you can’t keep hiding here and crying your eyes out every single day. You know you're pregnant, and it's not good for the baby." Bailey's voice was gentle as she placed a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me, but I couldn't stop crying. My heart was broken, and my emotions were too raw.I tried to speak, but all that came out was a sob. "Bailey... tell me... am I cursed? Why do these terrible things keep happening to me? Why do bad things happen to good people?"I couldn't hold back the tears any longer, even though my body felt weak and drained from the endless crying. I hadn't eaten all day."You are not cursed, Lyla. You're the sweetest soul on earth, and I’m so proud to have you as my sister. If you weren’t my sister, I’d probably be jealous," Bailey said, her voice full of sincerity."But why does disaster always seem to follow me?" I cried, wiping my eyes. "Everyone I love seems to hate me—Chad, Becky, Jace’s family... They all hate me."Even through my te
