Lilith’s Pov

I cried the whole night until I fell asleep without realizing it. My pillow was soaked, my eyes heavy, but sleep didn’t fix anything. I woke up the next morning feeling worse. There was this dull ache in my chest, like something was pressing against it. Still, I got up. I didn’t even think twice. I just wanted to move.

I brushed my teeth, took the quickest shower I’ve ever taken in my life. I didn’t wait for the water to get warm. I didn’t even check if the shampoo had lathered properly. I just needed to do something that would make me feel better, Sitting still made my thoughts louder.

Today I was going to walk around. I didn’t care what anyone had to say. Zoey, with all her fake smiles and fake friendship, and Killian, my husband, the one who stood there and called me a slut. I wasn’t going to sit down and sulk. I knew the truth. And no matter what, I would never betray my friend.

Or should I say my enemy??

I got dressed, casual clothes, nothing fancy. I wasn’t trying t

    Killian’s PovShe had to be joking.A movie? Really? Was that her idea of payback?“No,” I said immediately. “I’m not doing that.”“Okay then,” Lilith shrugged. “Apology not accepted. Let’s go home.”That’s it? She wasn’t going to argue?She turned to the window. Leaned her head like I didn’t exist. I sat there, arms folded, wondering what the hell just happened.Why was I feeling weird?Uncomfortable.Guilty?No. That couldn’t be it.I’m Killian. I don’t feel uncomfortable because of anyone.And definitely not guilty.This was supposed to be a romantic dinner date. Wasn’t that what it’s called? Dinner. Quiet. Fancy place. No loud talk. No drama.Was she expecting us to laugh and joke? Was this high school?I tried. I swear I did.And yet I kept replaying the evening in my head like a broken record. Questioning. Doubting. Again and again.The car stopped.Lilith got out before I could even touch the door handle. Walked fast, like she couldn’t wait to get away.I followed behind, still

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 33

    Killian’s PovHeading to the office that morning, I felt… off. It wasn’t guilt, no. I don’t do guilt. But I’m not a monster either. I have a conscience, even if it only shows up once in a while. What happened last night with Lilith—maybe it could’ve gone differently. But then again, she should have spoken up. She should’ve said something. So no, it wasn’t my fault. I wasn’t going to carry the blame for her silence.I sat back, stared out the tinted window as the city rushed past, and shoved the thoughts aside. I had a business to run. Feelings could wait—or die.When the car pulled up at the office, the security opened the door, and I stepped out like nothing was wrong. People greeted me as usual, some with fear, some with fake smiles. I don’t bother learning their faces. I only care about names and results. The only one whose face I recognize is my personal assistant, because she’s too efficient to ignore.Nobody in that office can dare cross me. They know the rules. If you go behind

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 32

    Nolan’s PovZoey’s story didn’t exactly bother me. I’ve heard worse. I’ve seen people go through hell and still come out smiling. But what hit me was the fact that she couldn’t tell me. She didn’t trust me enough. That part stung. Still, it didn’t matter anymore. I just had to get to the root of it all and clean up the mess. That’s what I do best.After we got back from going out, Zoey told me she had somewhere to be. She was always going somewhere. And Killian left too. So, it was just Lilith in the house. Just her. Even the thought of it made me smile.I’d been watching her for a while. Quietly. From a distance. Watching her walk around the house, smiling to herself, touching things like she belonged here. She was so fucking beautiful. I don’t think I’d ever seen beauty like hers. So tiny and fragile-looking, but somehow she still carried this fire around her like a second skin.When she finally stepped outside, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to place the camera in her room.

    Killian’s PovI couldn't believe what I saw. I really stood there and watched my wife act like some cheap cheat and then try to spin the story by dragging Zoey into it. How low can she get. Manipulative. Cunning. That’s what she’s always been. Plays the victim, cries when things don’t go her way. But tonight made everything clear. Lilith doesn’t need love. She doesn’t need care. She’s not worthy of it.I was too tired to argue more. It was late. I just needed the day to end. So I went to bed.But lying there in the dark, sleep didn’t come.All I could see was what could’ve happened if I hadn’t walked in. She would’ve been with that man while I stayed out working, thinking I had a wife. I’ve always known she wasn’t the type to sit still, the type to stay where she’s supposed to be. I thought marriage would calm her. But I was wrong.I didn’t do what I usually did that night. I couldn’t. I was too angry. It takes a lot to get to me but this got to me deep. Not because I loved her. No. I

    Lilith's PovThe air froze.He stood at the door—Killian. My husband. His eyes scanned the room, then settled on me and the half-naked man beside me.My heart dropped."Killian…" I whispered."What is happening here?" His voice was low, deadly calm, which made it even worse."It's not what you think," I said, stepping forward.He scoffed. "Not what I think? Then what is it?"He looked at the man, then back at me. And I swear, I saw something break inside him."Hey, man," the stranger said, annoyed. "What are you doing here? I'm trying to get things done. Can you leave?"Killian let out a bitter laugh. "I can see that the man who wants to fuck my wife is eager for me to leave. Maybe I should. So you can enjoy your time.""No!" I moved between them, heart pounding. "That’s not what’s happening. Please—"The man smirked. "You're married? Even better. I love married women. The thrill is insane. You’ll be sweet, just like the rest."I reached for Killian, trying to explain, but he gently p

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 28

    Lilith's PovThere was no time to waste.Zoey and I left the house without telling anyone. Not Killian. Not Nolan. No one.The driver didn’t ask questions. He just took us to the nearest pharmacy.When we got there, we asked for strong sleeping pills. The kind that knocks a person out fast.The pharmacist raised an eyebrow. “How fast?”“Two minutes,” Zoey said.The pharmacist looked at both of us for a moment before speaking. “You only need a drop. Just one. It’ll work fast. But don’t go beyond the dose. It can be dangerous.”Then he paused. “May I ask… what do you need it for?”Zoey gave a short laugh. “No, you may not. But we’re not killing anyone. We just have sleepless nights. That’s all.”He looked unsure but nodded. “Be careful. A drop. That’s it.”We thanked him and left.When we got back to the house, Zoey turned to me.“I need to go get something,” she said. “A dress. Something that’ll fit the plan.”I looked at her, confused. “A dress?”She nodded. “Yeah. One that’ll grab hi

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 27

    Lilith's Pov As soon as I stepped out of Nolan’s house, a driver stood quietly at the side, waiting.No questions. No comments.Just a silent nod before he opened the car door for me.I slipped inside and watched as the streetlights stretched across the windows in gold streaks.I didn’t say a word.Not on the ride.Not when I stepped out.Not even when I stood in front of our—his—house.The familiar walls wrapped around me the second I walked in, and yet they didn’t feel familiar at all. Maybe because everything inside this house held a trace of Killian.Even the air felt heavier around his name.As I walked up the stairs, my mind wandered to earlier.To the way he rejected my painting like it was nothing. Like I was nothing.And then to the laughter I shared with Nolan.I hated how light it made me feel.How easy.How free.Killian and Nolan… they were both masters of words when they chose to be. But Nolan—Nolan carried softness in his silence. And Killian… he carried a war.Was he

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 26

    Nolan’s PovI couldn’t believe it worked.The moment I saw Lilith step into the house with Zoey, I knew I had to make her stay. Zoey always disappears around this time. I counted on that. I just needed a reason to keep Lilith from leaving.And luck? It played its part.Zoey left. Lilith stayed. And the kitchen became my stage.I know how to cook. Always have. Between me and Killian, I’ve always been the better one in the kitchen. But today? I burned the hell out of a pancake on purpose. Because I knew she’d offer to help. She couldn’t just walk past something like that.And now here she was—standing next to me, apron in hand, already scolding me with those sharp eyes of hers.“How do we start this?” I asked.“Do you have an extra apron?” she said. “I don’t want to mess up my dress.”I nodded and handed her one. It hung loosely on her. She looked so small in it. So soft. So damn perfect.She tied it behind her back, and I just stared. Her neck. Her eyes. That scar. I wanted to kiss it.
