Lilith’s Pov

Blackmail?

A sex tape?

Zoey?

I just stared at her. My mouth was slightly open, but no words came out. My brain couldn’t piece anything together. This had to be a joke, right?

"I don’t understand what you’re saying," I finally muttered.

"You have to understand, Lilith," she said, her voice trembling. "You’re the first person I’ve told this to. If word gets out… that man will release everything. I’m begging you, promise me you won’t say a word."

"I promise," I said quietly.

My chest felt heavy. I sat there, trying to breathe normally, but my mind was racing. “What are you going to do? This is serious. If Nolan finds out you’re cheating…”

"I know," she said quickly. "That’s why I’m being careful. I’m working on a plan. I just don’t know how it’ll turn out yet."

I leaned forward. "Why don’t you just tell Nolan? He owns a whole damn security company. He and Killian could help you. They have people. They know how to handle things like this."

Zoey shook her head. "No. My father

    Lilith’s PovWaking up that morning felt… lighter. For the first time in days, my chest didn’t feel like it was carrying a mountain. There was a strange calmness in the silence of the room, as if the chaos in my mind had decided to sleep in today.I had been back in the place they kept calling "home" for two days now. It didn’t feel like home to me yet, but at least it was a roof, a safe roof. And in those two days, I hadn’t really seen much of Killian.Strangely, that felt like a good thing.I sat up in bed, letting the morning light stretch across my bare legs. The air was crisp, the kind that made you want to do something,anything. I still didn’t know what the day held, but at least I wasn’t panicking about it.The bathroom tiles were cold under my feet as I walked in, peeled out of my pajamas, and stepped into the shower. The water ran hot over my skin, and I let it wash away some of the stiffness. Maybe I needed this. A slow morning. A calm start.Once I was out, I dried my hair

    Lilith’s Pov "She’s coming with me, brother." The voice sent a shiver down my spine. I didn’t need to turn. I knew that voice like the sound of my own breath. Killian. My heart stuttered for a moment, but I stood tall. Nolan turned to me slowly, his jaw twitching. "What the hell is he doing here?" Nobody answered. Polly had her mouth slightly open, frozen by the confrontation. The woman who had been doing Polly’s hair backed away in silence. All the staff in the room seemed suspended, waiting for the next blow. "Has someone explained to me," Nolan continued, his voice rising, "what my brother is doing here?" I took a breath and met his stare. "I called him." I didn’t even know why I called him before coming here, Emily gave me their contact info just in case. Why did I call him? His face contorted, a storm building behind his eyes. "Why did you call him? For what reason? Why is he here?!" "Because I think I can't stay with you any longer." His nostrils flared. "Are you ch

    Lilith’s PovIt was getting harder to breathe.Not physically, mentally. Emotionally.Everywhere I turned, Nolan was there.When I walked, he followed. When I ate, he watched. When I spoke to Polly, he hovered.It wasn’t protection anymore. It was possession.I couldn’t remember the last time I did anything alone. Anything for myself.No spa day. No walk down the street. No damn moment of peace.So when Saturday came, the weekend—and we were quietly across from each other at the dining table, I made a decision.“I want to go out today,” I said, placing my fork down.Nolan looked up from his plate. “Out? Where?”“With Polly,” I answered, keeping my tone calm. “Just the two of us. To a spa, maybe a little café afterward. Just something light.”He smiled, but there was a coldness behind it. “I’ll come with you.”I blinked. “No. That’s not the point.”“I don’t see why not. We could—”“Can you just stop? Please.”My voice came out sharper than I intended.He stared at me, fork frozen midai

    Lilith’s PovEverything escalated too fast.One second, she was just talking. The next, Nolan was right there—towering above me, polly and Emily, his voice firm, angry, dangerous. And she couldn’t explain the fear that crept up her spine. Fear because he caught her. Fear because she had no excuse.“What do you mean I’m not allowed to leave the house again?” I asked, voice trembling, trying to keep calm.Nolan’s jaw tightened. “We don’t have to argue right here.”Emily slammed her hands on the table. “You see? You see what we’re saying?! He is the toxic one, Lilith. Not us. He’s trying to brainwash you! You didn’t remember anything about Killian, but he’s kept you tied to him like a possession. You forgot everything else!”My heart pounded. I wasn’t ready for this fight. Not here. Not now.Nolan’s eyes narrowed on her. “Do you feel proud of yourself? Lying to her about me? Does it make you feel better to twist things?”I raised my hand, trying to stop the storm. “You know what? I’m not

    Nolan’s PovWhy was she making everything so fucking hard?Lilith used to be… easy. Soft. Warm.She used to melt under my touch, smile when I walked in, lean into every kiss like it was the air she needed.She used to love me the way I needed to be loved.And now?Now she questioned everything.Why couldn’t she just let things stay the way they were? Peaceful. Safe. I gave her peace. I gave her a world where she didn’t have to worry about anything, where she was loved, protected, untouchable.But no.It started with that stupid question about her phone.Then the distance—subtle at first. Dodging my kisses. Turning her head slightly. Pulling her hand back a second too fast. Pretending to be tired. Pretending to be busy.Then came Bianca.And now…She didn’t even say I love you back.That one cut.What the hell did she think she was going to find out? What did she expect to uncover?Some ugly secret? Some hidden villain?I was the one holding her together.I was the one keeping her safe

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 126

    Lilith’s Pov I didn’t know how to feel.I didn’t even know how to breathe anymore.Why? Why would Nolan give me something that’s meant to block my memories—when I’m supposed to be healing? When he’s supposed to be helping me heal?What the hell was he hiding?My thoughts were spiraling, drowning me in questions that had no answers. Not yet.Polly broke the silence. “Let me help you take a shower,” she said quietly, “before Mr. Williams fires me.”I gave a soft, lifeless laugh. “Sure. Let’s not give him another reason.”I didn’t even have the strength for any more drama. Not tonight.Polly wheeled me to the bathroom, but I insisted on trying to stand. Slowly. Cautiously. Painfully—but I did it. Little steps. Little victories. And for the first time in a long while, something in my life made me genuinely happy.“I’m getting better,” I whispered to myself as Polly helped me change into my nightwear.She smiled. “You really are.”Afterwards, Polly asked gently, “Do you want something to
