Killian’s Pov

I lost count after the fifth glass.

Whiskey burned its way down my throat, warm and reckless. The bitter edge was comforting and too familiar, like the storm in my chest. My mother’s words wouldn’t leave my head. Her voice, her insistence.

“You love her, Killian.”

No, I wasn’t supposed to. I told myself that again. And again. And again. But it wasn’t working. Not anymore.

Because I was. Falling. And I hated it.

Hated how she took up space in my head. Hated how she made me feel things I swore I buried long ago. And more than anything, I hated the thought of needing her.

And then, just when I thought I’d finally drown her memory with another pour, there was a knock.

And like the devil hearing her name, she appeared.

Lilith.

She stepped in slowly, like she wasn’t sure she was welcome. She wasn’t. And yet… I didn’t stop her.

Whiskey still in hand, I leaned against the table and watched her.

“Hey, Killian,” she said gently.

I didn’t answer. I stared at the glass instead.

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 74

    Lilith’s PovI sat there in Killian’s mother’s room, fingers tangled nervously in my lap, twisting and untwisting. The silence in the room was loud. Too loud. I wanted to get up, to leave, but a part of me was frozen. Waiting. Hoping. Dreading.What if she comes back and tells me he said nothing? Or worse… what if he said exactly what I fear?Just then, the door creaked open, and my heart jumped, only to settle awkwardly when I realized it wasn’t her.It was Killian’s dad.“Oh, my dear,” he said with a warm smile. “How are you?”I stood up a little too fast. “I’m fine, sir.”He stepped in fully. “I hope you’re alright?”“Yes, I’m just waiting for… your wife. We were having a discussion,” I said, trying to sound calm.He nodded knowingly. “Ah, a girls’ discussion?”I gave a faint chuckle. “Yes, something like that. I can always come back later if she’s busy.”He waved his hand. “No need for that. I only came to grab a few things for the driver. We’re packing up. No use just sitting her

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 73

    Lilith’s PovAs Killian walked into the house and left me behind, I stood there, staring at the door like I’d just been slapped. This did not just happen. I couldn’t believe it. We didn’t even go all the way, and yet he was acting like I had begged him for something. Like I had thrown myself at him. Like I meant nothing.I felt stupid. Used. And worst of all, hurt.I should have known better. I should have kept my guard up. But I let it down, I let him in, and now I was paying for it. I could already feel the tears threatening my eyes, but no—this wasn’t the time to cry. Not here. Not now.Killian was messing with my feelings, twisting me up so bad that I couldn’t even understand what I was feeling anymore. Confused. Angry. Sad. Embarrassed. All of it, all at once. I needed advice. I needed someone who knew him deeply. Maybe… maybe his mom could help. She was the only person I felt I could trust right now. Maybe even Emily. But first, I needed to clean up, take a breath, just gather m

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 72

    Killian’s PovAs Lilith came with my fingers buried deep inside her, I stared at her face, stunned, not at her, but at myself. I couldn’t believe what I had just done. I never planned to go this far. The first time I touched her, it was supposed to be control. A test. A way to break her walls down, not... this. Not pleasure. Not softness.But the moment I felt her surrender under my touch, I couldn’t stop. And now that it’s done, I’m hit with something I hate to admit. Regret. Guilt.Kate.I betrayed her. Even if we didn’t go all the way, even if it was just fingers and gasps and heat—I crossed a line. A line I said I’d never cross. And worse, a part of me is... drawn to Lilith. Attracted. Not just physically. That scares me more than anything.This was never supposed to be about feelings. It was about making Lilith fall, then crushing her. That was the plan. That is still the plan.I stood up and went into the bathroom, needing to clean myself and clear my head. My heart was pounding

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 71

    Lilith’s PovAfter he told me to follow him, I looked down at my cake, which I had barely gotten halfway through. “But I’m still eating.”Killian shrugged, turning to walk away. “I can buy you the entire store if you want, but for now, next time someone tries to approach you, you tell them no and to leave you the fuck alone. I’m going to punish you like the bad girl you are. You don’t get to meet random men. Not on my watch.”With that, I sighed and stood up, trailing behind him as he walked out of the cake shop with quick steps. He didn’t even wait for me as the elevator opened. We got in silently and headed back up to the office. The moment the doors opened, he led me straight to his office, not saying a word.Once we were inside, Killian suddenly grabbed me by the waist and pulled me against his chest, my back pressed firmly to him. He wasn’t touching me yet, but I could feel the heat from his body. His breath was low in my ear.“You see, my dear wife,” he whispered darkly, “this i

  • Dear Wife, I Hate You   Chapter 70

    Lilith’s PovI stomped up the stairs, sulking like a grumpy child denied candy. My chest ached with irritation. I really, really wanted to go to that book club. Like, really badly. I had been looking forward to it, reading, talking about books, escaping for once. But no… Killian just had to pull the husband card.And for what? Because I was going with Nolan?Oh, please.So now he’s suddenly the overprotective husband? Acting like he has a problem with it, but instead of saying it straight, he’s playing power games. Ugh. I threw open my closet with unnecessary force, yanked out clothes, changed quickly, all the while asking myself: What am I even doing with Killian?All he ever does is command, insult, say hot-and-cold things that mess with my head. Nolan, at least, listens. Makes me feel seen. Comforted. Human.I dressed fast and headed back downstairs. Killian was sitting there on his phone, looking as detached as ever. Tapping and scrolling like he didn’t just ruin my morning.“I’m
