Lilith’s Pov

As soon as I left Killian’s office, my heart started beating fast.

Really fast.

I didn’t even know if it was fear or anger or just nerves. Maybe all three.

I didn’t want to piss him off. But I also didn’t want to keep folding for him. I needed to start standing my ground. And honestly, I wasn’t going to keep having this argument with myself anymore.

On my way to my room, I kept thinking about everything I just said to him. Emily was waiting for me—I had so much to tell her. She was probably already pacing.

Then I heard someone call my name.

But it wasn’t “Lilith.”

It was “Liz.”

I turned quickly.

It was Nolan.

He walked up to me with that same calm look on his face. “How are you doing?” he asked.

“I’m fine,” I said with a small smile.

Then I looked at him properly and said, “Thank you… for what you did yesterday. For not telling Killian where I was. I owe you one. I’m forever grateful.”

He shrugged. “It’s fine. Really.”

I looked down, then back at him. “Also… about what al

    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

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 125

    Lilith’s Pov I woke up to the sound of soft breathing beside me.At first, I didn’t want to move. I wasn’t sure where I was, for a second. Then it all came rushing back—yesterday. The café. Killian. Nolan. The medicine.And then… Nolan’s face.He was right there beside me, sleeping. Peacefully. So still.I turned slightly to my side, just enough to look at him without waking him. My mind was still circling around what I saw him doing the night before. That image of him with the syringe and my syrup it hadn’t left me. I kept hoping maybe it wasn’t real. Maybe I was just seeing things.But deep down, I knew I wasn’t.Then, as if he sensed me watching, Nolan’s eyes fluttered open.“You’re awake,” he murmured softly, his voice groggy but smooth. He sat up against the headboard and leaned over to press a kiss to my forehead. I didn’t flinch. I stayed still.“Good morning,” I said, my voice careful.“Good morning,” he echoed.I watched him for a second, uncertain if I should ask the questi

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 124

    Lilith’s Pov Nolan sat in the front seat, arms folded, his jaw clenched so tightly it looked like he could snap. The driver stayed silent in the driver’s seat, and Polly sat beside me in the back, stealing nervous glances in my direction every few seconds. I didn’t know what to expect. I just went out, why did it feel like I had committed a crime?When we reached the house, Nolan didn’t wait. He got down, opened the back door, and without a word, scooped me into his arms like I was a doll he owned.“Polly, come,” he ordered.His voice didn’t hold warmth. It was cold. Controlled.He carried me straight to the living room and placed me on the couch like I was breakable porcelain, then turned to Polly.“Start explaining.”I immediately jumped in. “You don’t have to blame her for anything…”I didn’t even finish before Nolan stormed toward Polly and grabbed her by the neck.“I fucking said she shouldn’t leave this house!” he roared. “Didn’t I say she wasn’t allowed to leave without me?”“

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 123

    Lilith’s PovIt was a new day, and for some reason, I felt... good. Peaceful. I couldn’t quite explain it, but this strange calm had settled over me. Maybe it was the weather. Or maybe it was just the simple joy of waking up without a headache, without confusion clouding my thoughts.Or maybe it was Zara.She made everything feel lighter. Our exercises weren’t just physical therapy anymore, they were fun. Her jokes, the way she teased me when I messed up a stretch, the warmth in her eyes…it made me look forward to every session. I didn’t even count the days anymore. I just knew they felt easier now.Polly was with me in the bathroom, like always. She was gently rubbing lotion on my legs, careful around the healing bruises and the cast.“Polly,” I said, my voice soft. “Can I ask you something?”“Yeah, sure,” she replied, glancing up.“How long have you been working for Nolan?”I didn’t know why I asked that. It just popped out of my mouth like it had been waiting there for days.Polly

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 122

    Nolan’s PovIt’s been a week.A week of pure fucking bliss.She’s mine. Finally.Not Killian’s.Not some broken-hearted, distant Lilith trapped in her pain.She’s here, breathing, smiling, watching movies with me, like nothing ever happened. Like the universe finally decided I deserved her.I sit beside her on the couch, pretending to care about the movie. But really, all I’m doing is staring at her. Watching how her lips purse when the characters get too dramatic, or how her eyes widen during suspenseful moments. She doesn’t even know what she’s doing to me just by existing.I fucking won. And I’m going to make sure I keep winning.If I smother her with enough love, enough care, enough perfection… there won’t be space left for Killian, even if her memories do come back. Which they won’t. Because I’ll do everything to make sure they don’t.She turned me into a damn movie freak, and I don’t even care.Because she said she likes having me close. That’s all I need.I glance at her again.

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 121

    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
