His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 84: The Price of Silence
It was 11am in the morning, and Isla was in her boutique, sitting at the far corner of her custom office desk, her right finger turning the edge of one of her folders.Her eyes were moving sharply across the numbers on the page. She wasn’t just reviewing; she was correcting errors with light notes in the margins. There was focus in her expression, but also a guarded sense of calmness.Just about three minutes into her work, the sound of her phone beeping interrupted her concentration.It was quite impromptu, yet she didn’t jump nor flinch too much.Her hand lifted with instinct from the edge of the paper.She already knew who it was.In the same manner, she started to pick up her phone slowly, tapping the screen twice to display the forwarded message.And just like she expected, the sender was that same anonymous email address…the one that had reached out three days ago. As well as a few days before that:“Grandmother Hayes”Today, the message from the old matriarch was only nine w
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 83: What She Doesn’t Know
It was a few minutes close to 7:30 when Nate's SUV returned back to his estate and parked without haste.But the way he stepped out of the car showed the anger he bore while marching out of the house earlier in the day was still hiding in there.It was in the way his jaw worked tightly as he walked toward the house.In the way, he kept trying to loosen his tie without patience while his other free hand clenched and unclenched like it didn’t know what to do with itself.Everything from earlier was still fresh and hot in his head.And now, here he was again, returning to his least favourite place in the world.As he approached the door, he seemed to have noticed that his emotions, though quiet, were still barely controlled.So he stopped.He did so near the side of the porch, where a tall pillar cast a shadow over the stone tiles.He leaned against it with his eyes closed. His breathing came short at first. Then he forced them in and out deeper, repeating the act until he felt calm aga
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 82: The Smear and The Snare
Today was Monday, and it should have been the start of another business week. But this wasn't the case for the Hayes family. Instead, what came knocking was another round of scandal, louder, messier, and far more dangerous than the first one. Every major media outlet was already on fire with the headline. “Hayes Industries Accused of Tax Evasion, Internal Fraud, and Illicit Contracts.” “Anonymous Source Leaks Explosive Data on Billion-Dollar Empire.” And beneath that there were blurred company watermarks, partial documents, and insider testimonies all splashed across web pages and social media. The leak was vague, but far more detailed than the previous. And even though nothing had been fully proven yet, what had emerged was enough to cause a nationwide uproar. And indeed it was already doing that. Grandmother Hayes had been in the conservatory when Emmet came rushing in with the info. She had not needed more than three glances at the screen before her cup slipped and
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 81: The Weakest Weapon
Two good days have passed since the heated confrontation with Grandmother Hayes. Two long, agonising days of anxious thoughts and a body that refused to eat or rest. Vanessa actually hadn’t been herself after that back-and-forth episode with the Matriarch. Even her reflection in the mirror had lost its gloss since then. “Trouble was coming… a huge embarrassment was imminent,” And since 48 hours, she still had not found a way to counter it. Now, here she was again tonight, pacing the length of her bedroom, barefoot, her steps sharp and erratic to her own ears. She was like a convict, testing the bounds of her prison. Her eyes darted constantly toward the door, as though half-expecting someone to suddenly burst in and strip her of her gold. At one point she stopped near the window, pressing a palm against the glass pane as though she might find air beyond it. Her chest just kept rising and falling in visible pulses. Her thoughts were spinning even faster than her steps.
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 80: Dinner and a Warning
The hour was precisely 7:00 p.m. In the dining hall, the long table had been perfectly set and around it, the helps moved in and out efficiently particularly the one that bore the name Louise. Her steps were far more silent, her hands steady as she placed the final dish at the center: roasted seabass with lemon butter glaze, and this was without disrupting the serene grace of the room.At the head of the table, Damien was already seated, his wine glass, near his plate but he hadn’t yet taken a sip. Beside him was of course Isla, her spine poised, her hands resting lightly on her lap in wait.There was less than a minute between the final napkin adjustment before the gentle sound from the other dining room door made it open to reveal the face of none other but, Isabella.She stepped in with the rehearsed gait she had perfected over years during the peak of her modelling career.But the main point of attention was actually the robe she was wearing; a delicate plum silk that slipped s
His Enemy, My Husband Chapter 79: The Bluff and the Blowback
Grandmother Hayes was sitting on the armchair closest to the bookshelf with both palms pressed tightly against her temples, rubbing slow circles, while a few spaces away from her was the reason for her current stress:And that was her so-called daughter-in-law… Vanessa.She had been barking, shouting and stamping her feet for a few minutes when she barged into the study unannounced.Now, her expression was still ablaze with naked fury as she continued to torment the old woman.“You think I’m here to beg you? …Oh no. I’m only giving you one last chance to keep your family intact. You do know I can burn this entire legacy down, or don’t you get that yet... don’t you, Graaandmaa?” She stressed mockingly.The older woman remained still, head still bowed, her fingers now motionless against her temples while Vanessa stood breathing heavily with eyes scanning the elder’s quiet form with something close to disgust.She was riding high on her new power now, drunk on it.This same woman she cou
