Lilith's Pov

“What do you mean it’s locked from the outside?” Killian’s voice cut through the air like a sharp blade.

I turned slowly, folding my arms like the innocent prisoner I absolutely was not. “What does it sound like, Mr. Genius? The door—our only exit—is locked. From. The. Outside.”

“Who did that?” he asked, brows furrowed in this ridiculous mixture of confusion and rising panic. “When you closed the door, did you do it improperly? Maybe there's an issue with the latch or—”

“There’s no issue,” I interrupted, deadpan. “Except the obvious one where someone very deliberately locked us in like a pair of hormonal teenagers in a sitcom. Which, for the record, I’m not laughing at.”

Killian didn’t listen. He did that thing where he tried to act like brute force would solve everything. He turned to the door and barged into it. Once. Twice. Thrice.

Nothing.

“Right,” I said with the world's most dramatic sigh, “because that always works in the movies.”

“I know how locks work, Lilith.”

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 133

    Killian’s PovI didn’t know if I made the right call bringing her here.Maybe I should have waited. Maybe I should have listened when Bianca said to go slow. But seeing Lilith collapse like that, her eyes fluttering, her body limp, I panicked. All the logic in the world couldn’t save me from the terror that gripped my chest the moment she fell.Now, she lay there on the bed.The doctor had just left a few minutes ago, saying something about memory triggers and how it wasn’t abnormal in cases like this. She didn’t bring her medication with her, so he prescribed some new ones. But none of that comforted me. None of that made the weight in my chest lift.She looked lifeless.And that sight, it broke me in ways I didn’t even know were possible.I sat on the edge of the bed, her palm resting in mine, and I just... held it. Hoping. Praying.This girl…this maddening, dramatic, impossible girl, had become the most important person in my world. And now she was lying here like a ghost. No sarca

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 132

    Lilith’s PovI didn’t even know when I slept last night.All I remembered was falling into bed like a rock, my body worn out and my mind numb. The moment I opened my eyes, confusion hit me first before the morning light did. The room was spotless. Every piece of clothing and every shoe that had been delivered, neatly arranged. It looked like a showroom. Not a single wrapper out of place, not a shoe strap bent.I sat up slowly, rubbing at my temple. I didn’t even hear anyone come in to clean or arrange things. Was I that exhausted?Apparently, yes.I exhaled and swung my legs down, stepping onto the soft carpet. I made my bed first. It was a routine I clung to, something about having one small thing in control before the rest of the day tried to ruin me.After that, I dressed up simply, brushing my hair back into a low ponytail and throwing on one of the more comfortable outfits Killian had the audacity to buy. Not because I appreciated the gesture, but because I couldn’t lie to myself

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 131

    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

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 130

    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

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 129

    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
