Lilith’s Pov

It had been a full week of endless, dizzying drama.

Between Nolan and Killian constantly trying to outdo each other, and Emily now away, off chasing her dream audition out of the country, it was safe to say my life was a whirlwind of emotions I wasn’t prepared for. Emily still called, still checked in every day, but it wasn’t the same. Her physical presence brought me a kind of balance I didn’t know I needed until she left.

So, yeah... I was alone.

And instead of sulking in the silence of my house, I decided I’d be doing most of my painting in the gallery’s workroom I had already designed. It was safer. Focused. It was also Bianca’s first day working with me, and I didn’t want to blur the lines too early by inviting her to the house. We’d keep it professional, for now.

I pulled up at the gallery in my grey car, which oddly matched the shade of my eyes today. My heart fluttered at the idea of starting something new. Something mine.

To my surprise, Bianca was already stand

    Lilith’s Pov I just stared at him after he tucked that strand of hair behind my ear. There was something about his touch that felt warm… but still, I didn’t forget what I saw earlier. How he grabbed Polly’s neck.He looked at me, his eyes searching my face like he was afraid of what he might find there.“Are you still angry with me?” he asked softly. “Please forgive me.”I blinked slowly, holding back the words in my throat. “You don’t touch women violently, Nolan. You don’t beat anyone.”He nodded, shame crawling over his features. “I know. I was just angry—”“Angry?” I cut him off, narrowing my eyes. “So if I ever get you angry, what happens? Are you going to hit me?”He stepped closer, cupping my face so gently that I felt a jolt of confusion. “No, no, no. Don’t think that of me. Please,” he whispered. “I would never, ever hurt you. Not you.”I studied him. The way his brows creased, the tightness in his jaw, the way his hands trembled ever so slightly.“Even if it’s not me,” I mu

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 120

    Lilith’s Pov Ever since Nolan brought me home, everything has felt... calm.It’s been about two days now, and he’s been nothing but sweet. He barely lets me lift a finger. And sure, I technically can’t, not with my leg wrapped like a mummy, but still… he treats me like I’m made of glass. Breakable and precious.He even brought someone to help me bathe and get around.Polly. That’s her name.She’s young, quiet, and always smiling. She never complains, not even when I spill water all over the bathroom tiles or ask her to redo my messy bun three times in a row.As she finished making my hair this morning, I stared into the mirror. I wasn’t admiring anything. Just… looking. Trying to find someone in the reflection I could remember.“Thank you,” I murmured, still watching my own eyes, still searching.“No problem, ma’am,” Polly replied warmly.I turned a little to face her. “Polly,” I sighed, “I told you to stop calling me ma’am. It’s Lilith.”She chuckled gently. “Okay, Lilith.”That sou

    Killian’s Pov I don’t know how life got this bad.How it all started falling into place, like the universe was finally giving me a break…and then, just like that, it all came crashing down.Lilith.The woman I’ve fought for.The woman I’ve bled for.Looked me in the eyes and said she was going home…with him.With Nolan.My own fucking brother.I’ve been pacing around my study for what feels like hours now.My fingers keep raking through my hair, tugging at the roots,like maybe pain will distract me from this damn ache in my chest.How could she forget everything?The way her smile used to grow when she saw me.The quiet moments.The art studio mornings.The little kisses we shared in the kitchen.The way she used to say my name.Like it meant safety.Now… it’s like I’m the enemy.“You need to calm down so we can think,” Emily’s voice snapped me out of it.I turned to her, my eyes burning, my heart screaming.“While we’re sitting here thinking, Nolan is creeping his way into Lilith

    Nolan’s PovIt felt like the fucking universe had finally decided to smile at me. No, worship me. Because today, Lilith, the love of my life, the woman I was born to be with, just looked Killian dead in the eye and said she was staying with me. Me, Nolan.My heart didn’t just swell. It fucking roared.I turned to look at Killian, ah, that disbelieving face.He looked like a kicked puppy.Like someone had just told him Santa Claus was a scam.It was beautiful.Then she said it again.“You should leave, Killian.”God, I could frame those words.But I noticed she was already sitting down, exhaustion painting her face.And no way was I going to let my fragile, wounded girl stress a second longer. So I had to step in, sweetly, protectively.“Killian,” I said, trying not to smirk too hard. “Just go.”His eyes flicked between me and her. He was trembling, rage, maybe. Fear, hopefully.“You’re going to pay for this,” he said, his voice shaking. “When she remembers… you’ll fucking pay.”And th

    Killian’s Pov“Do I look like a fucking joke to you?”The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.The doctor blinked at me, stunned, but I wasn’t done.“What did you even study in school, huh? Are you sure you’re a real doctor?” My voice was rising, the rage inside me bubbling like lava. “Because you’re standing here telling me my wife, my fucking wife has forgotten me? Are you insane?!”I laughed bitterly, but it sounded more like a choke.“She literally just called my name a few minutes ago! So, explain that. Go on, explain it, doc! Or should I ask if your credentials came from a WhatsApp group?”“Mr. Killian,” the doctor said slowly, carefully, as if he were trying to approach a wild animal. “Please calm down. I know this is difficult to accept. She might remember some parts of you. But not all of it.”I narrowed my eyes. “What the hell does that mean?”“It means,” he exhaled, “she may only remember certain moments… possibly the more traumatic ones. In some cases, t

    Killian’s PovI’d been waiting. Waiting like a fool for a woman who never showed up.I told myself to be patient, maybe she was just running late. Maybe she got caught up.But the hours passed. And then…Boom.One minute, I was pacing the room with a tight jaw.The next, I was hearing about her car being found smashed. No Lilith. No note. No call. No answer.And that’s when I knew.Nolan.Even with all the bitterness between us, Lilith would never ghost me for this long, not unless something was terribly wrong. And Nolan… he wasn’t answering his damn phone. Not his texts. Not even his goddamn assistant.He had a hand in this. Even if he didn’t touch her, he knew something.And I was done playing games.I didn’t want to involve too many people, I didn’t want this becoming a headline or a scandal that could hurt her gallery or reputation, but things had gone too far. I pulled every contact I had. Cyber techs. Security. Private investigators. People who owe me favors.And today, finally,
