Lilith’s Pov

I couldn’t breathe.

Not because I was choking, not because something was stuck in my throat… but because Killian had just kissed me. He kissed me. Not a dream, not a fantasy. His lips. My lips. A moment I never thought would exist between us, especially not after everything I did. Not after the way I broke him.

And now, I was walking back to my room.

Correction: I had been sent out of his.

I didn’t blame him. He probably hated himself for letting that happen. Maybe he hated me too. Maybe that kiss brought back everything I made him feel—the pain, the betrayal, the heartbreak. And maybe he hated that he wanted it.

I didn’t even know what I felt. My lips still tingled. My skin was still on fire.

I shut the door to my room, the silence suddenly too loud. It was barely 10 p.m. I stared at my phone for a second before deciding. I needed someone. Someone who knew me beyond this hell.

Emily.

I dialed.

“Hey, what’s up?” Her voice was bubbly as always.

“I’m fine… you?”

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 41

    Lilith’s Pov The dining room was so quiet, you could hear the spoons hitting the plates. No one moved. No one even chewed. After Nolan told Maya to watch her tongue, I couldn’t hold back anymore.“You don’t get to say that to me,” I said softly, but firmly. My voice shook, but I meant it.Maya scoffed. “I just asked a question, jeez.” She stabbed a piece of fish with her fork and shoved it into her mouth like she hadn’t just torn me apart with her words.I blinked back the tears. But they came anyway. Warm. Sharp. Silent. My throat burned from trying to hold it all in.“You don’t talk to her that way, Maya,” Nolan snapped. “She’s your brother’s wife. You don’t get to disrespect her like that.”Maya rolled her eyes, lips twisted into a smug smile. “Why are you acting like this, Nolan? It’s just a question.”“No. It’s a question you should never even think, let alone say out loud.”She laughed. “Her husband didn’t complain, so why are you complaining?”I felt that in my chest. Heavy. C

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 40

    Lilith's Pov One minute, Killian told me his parents were coming. The next, Rose said they were already here.Already? For crying out loud, they were too early.What was I going to do now?How was I supposed to face them?They didn’t even attend our wedding.The only people there were business partners or strangers in suits.Not family. Not love. Nothing real.I didn’t know what to wear.So, I picked the best casual dress I could find.Something simple, but nice. First impression matters.After dressing, I grabbed my phone and called Emily.“Oh my God,” I said as soon as she picked. “Killian’s family. They’re here.”“What?” she sounded half-asleep. “What happened?”“I’m scared,” I confessed. “I don’t even know how to talk to them.”Emily laughed a little. “Just be yourself. Don’t let them step on you. But also don’t expect the worst. They might even be nicer than Killian.”“I hope so,” I mumbled.After ending the call, I stared at myself in the mirror.My eyes. My scar. My tired face

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 39

    Killian's PovI was in my office, typing and typing, but my mind wasn’t focused. My thoughts drifted back to Lilith and what we did. That kiss we shared. I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated. What did I even do? Why did I do it?I didn’t have an answer. It just happened. And now, I was regretting it. But I couldn’t lie, her lips were so soft. I couldn’t stop thinking about them. What was happening to me?It felt like Lilith had done something to me, like she cast a spell. I hated it. I needed to hate her even more now, so she wouldn’t try anything again. That’s what I told myself.But she had been sad. She looked broken. And I kept her. Damn it.Now I couldn’t even focus on my work. All I could think about was the sound of her moan. The softness of her lips. The way my body reacted to her.I was still lost in my thoughts when my phone rang. I frowned and glanced at the screen. It was my father.That man hadn’t even attended my wedding. Not like I cared. There was nothing special a

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 38

    Nolan’s PovThe moment I stepped into my mansion, the cool silence welcomed me.I headed upstairs. First person I saw was Zoey.“Hi,” she said, rubbing her eyes like she’d just woken up from another world.I gave her a small nod.“Why didn’t you wake me up?” she asked. “I overslept. I don’t even know what happened to me.”“I don’t know,” I said, walking past her a bit. “You looked knocked out. Like you ate something that hit you hard. I called your name a few times, but you didn’t budge.”She squinted at me. “What if I was dead?”“You weren’t. I checked your breathing,” I said flatly, giving her a look.She rolled her eyes, but then her voice softened. “So... how did it go?”“I met up with him. I’ll take care of it.”She stepped closer, looking relieved. “Thank you so much,” she said, then wrapped her arms around me.I didn’t move for a second, just let her hug me. She needed that.Then she said she was heading to her office, the one we set up for her here in the mansion.I told her I

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 37

    Lilith’s Pov It was actually so nice being in Nolan’s office. Everything about it screamed calm and expensive. I don’t know—he's just so... nice. So, so nice. The kind of nice that makes you forget he can also be scary when he wants to be. And honestly, if he wasn’t my brother-in-law, I might’ve said I kind of like him. But I can’t go there. After I told him I was planning to go see Killian later, Nolan went back to whatever he was doing. He didn’t say much, just nodded. I went back to scrolling on my phone, pretending not to notice how quiet it had gotten between us. Then, after a while, he stood up and said, “That’s it. We should start going home.” I nodded. “Okay, definitely.” I was actually happy I stepped out today. The air outside felt different. Fresh. Free. It was better than sitting in that big house, being haunted by silence. We stood up and started walking out. I could feel eyes on me. I wasn’t sure if they were judging me or just curious... or maybe admiring me. I did

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 36

    Nolan’s PovWhat? What does she mean he kissed her last night?Why would Killian even do that?Yes, they’re married, but he doesn’t love her. He’s made that very clear.Is he trying to mess with her feelings now? Use her? And then dump her like she’s nothing?I looked at her, and she repeated it again, “Did you hear what I said?”I nodded. “Yeah, I heard.”She looked a bit unsure. “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”I shook my head quickly. “No, no. It’s nothing.”But it was something.I didn’t like the way it made me feel.“So… what’s the problem now?” I asked.She sighed. “He kissed me. Then pushed me away. I didn’t ask for it. And now I feel like I’m the one at fault.”I shook my head. “You’re not.”And I meant it.“You’re not the problem, Lilith. I don’t know what’s going on in his head, but it’s not you.”“Are you sure?” she asked, looking straight at me like she needed to hear it again.“Yes,” I said. “I know my brother. He’s the one messing up, not you. Trust me. He’ll com
