Marvey_pearlOkay, I tried to keep Vanessa out of trouble. I really did. But she insisted on pacing around barefoot in a silk robe, whispering dark monologues like a Bond villain with a skincare routine. And then Nate shows up drunk, mistaking her for Isla? At that point, I just got out of the way and let chaos do what chaos does best. Anyway, pray for Nate. Light a candle. Burn some sage. He’s going to need it. —With mild concern and dramatic popcorn, Your author 🍷🫣💅

His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 113: A Heart She Couldn’t Deny
A month had passed since Isla’s return to New York.Her father had since recovered and was now fully discharged from the hospital, and since then his strength had slowly started to return to his body.It was late morning today at Isla’s newly established fashion headquarters in Tribeca, New York.She was currently sitting at the wide, open floor of her design studio, which was currently buzzing with this busy… remarkable energy. Designer packages were being moved from one point to the other; seamstresses sat bent over tables with their needles flashing in and out of their respective fabrics.The quick and purposeful voices of a number of the assistants echoed as they compared shade against shade under the bright lights. A few spaces away from all these and in a much quieter nook of the same room, little Imani was sitting with her small sketchpad balanced on her lap.Her tiny fingers were holding a pencil too large for her hand as she pressed her lips together in exaggerated concentr
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 112: Family or Nothing
Moments later, Isla and Imani were settled by the window of the drawing room. The curtains were half drawn, and through them, the mother and daughter observed everything happening outside at the gate area. Isla could still see the distant figure of Damien by the gate being addressed by the guards while he kept shouting her name over and over at intervals. Imani stood close to her side; her eyes, too, followed the scene.Her face was so much more sober now, caught between innocence and guilt. After some time she started to turn slightly, her voice soft and trembling as she reached out to her mother.“Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you angry… I just wanted to see Dad too.”Isla let out a quiet sound, not quite a sigh and also not a groan. She didn’t answer at once. She just kept looking straight ahead with stiff shoulders, keeping an expression that was as hard as steel.Although inside her… she felt as fragile as glass.Finally she whispered to the toddler after a small m
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 111: The Other Family
The silence of the Hayes mansion this afternoon was disturbed by a woman’s sharp footsteps and a voice that kept rising and falling with unrestrained anger.It was Vanessa.She was at it again.Since the last twenty minutes or so… She has been pacing the wide living room, her hands slapping the air with impatient gestures, as if her rage needed more space than her body could give.A few paces away in the same room, her husband, Nate, was sitting on the arm of one of the sofas.His tie hung loose around his neck. He had not been able to say much since they returned from headquarters, but Vanessa had not given him any chance.“You told me it was just a year break, didn't you!” she shouted, spinning around to glare at him.“Now it's a fucking year, Nate! Now it’s been five good years! Five! Yet I'm stuck in this house like some pathetic 12th-century housewife? .... Also again…tell me…how the hell did Isla become a shareholder? Did you give her that? Did you hand her the seat that should
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 110: Running After What’s Lost
The silence in the office kept stretching. That was after Isla’s earlier command to her daughter to leave, and now the small child stood frozen, her tiny hand still holding on to her father’s, her own eyes darting back and forth between the two faces she loved and feared losing.Imani’s lips trembled. Her chest rose quickly; her wide, innocent eyes shifted to her mother, then back to Damien, then to her mother again. The confusion on her face was heavy, but it soon began to melt into a painful plea neither adult could grant.“Imani,” Isla called again with a voice as hard as iron. “Come here…I said.”The little girl hesitated.And then Isla’s patience ran out. She surged forward with her arm shooting out, gripping Imani’s small wrist with a firmness that left no room for argument.Damien jerked. Instinct pushed him to step in, to reach, to stop this, but halfway there, he stiffened with one of his hands hanging useless in the air. All he could do was stand there limply grinding hi
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 109: Between Two Truths
In less than fifteen minutes, Isla’s car shot itself into the hospital grounds like a javelin. She swerved into the nearest space, barely turning off the ignition before throwing the door open and stepping out; her chest vibrated up and down, and her face was pale white with alarm.The hospital’s bright entrance loomed before her, but before she could rush inside, she caught sight of the three of them…. Caden, Tiara, and Sophia were already outside…hurrying toward her all at once.Their faces were frantic, drawn tight with what looked like great fear.Seeing them like this without yet knowing what had happened to Imani…it only made Isla’s panic tighter, her body tensing as she threw her arms out with her voice breaking into a sharp demand.“What is going on here?”“Where is my daughter!?”She yelled at Tiara with her voice shaking through the open space.Tiara stumbled forward at that point, her movements wild and clumsy, like someone drenched in icy water and unable to find balance.
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 108: The Vote and the Call
The boardroom continued to choke with the same kind of tension as all eyes stayed on the secretary.The lady’s fingers were still hanging over the glass box, carefully drawing out the final folded slip of paper. After she pulled it out, she held it with both hands as though it were some sort of sacred seal; her movements were so slow, heavy with suspense.Nate’s chest was rising and falling far too quickly; his hand kept pulling at his sleeve button.Sweat gathered on his brow. His eyes, up till now, refused to blink.Grandmother Hayes sat stiff, her gaze as sharp as daggers.Vanessa was ghost-pale. Her entire body trembled with the urge to just stop this imminent catastrophe.Finally…the secretary started to unfold the slip. Scanning its contents with just one glance, then she lifted her chin slowly to look at the room.It was at this point that she spoke, keeping her voice clear and unshaken.“The final vote… is in support of….” Her eyes lifted, looking steady as everyone else hel
