IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY Chapter 117 - The sabotage
Eliza's POVThe first sign of trouble came three weeks after the groundbreaking.I was in the study when Clara burst through the door, her face pale."The site. Someone's been there.""What do you mean?""The foundation. The cement we poured last week. It's ruined. Someone drilled into it. Weakened the whole structure."I stood. "Sabotage?""Has to be. The foreman found it this morning. If we hadn't caught it, the whole building could have collapsed."My blood went cold. "Who knew about the site?""Everyone. It's not a secret. But the workers, the contractors they've all been vetted.""Clearly not well enough."The SiteThe construction site was chaos.Workers stood in clusters, murmuring. The foreman, a weathered man named Castillo, met me at the gate."Ms. Sterling. I'm sorry. We should have caught this sooner.""Show me."He led me to the
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY Chapter 114 - The family she lost
Eliza's POV Maya had been with us for five months when the letter arrived. She was different now. Brighter. She laughed more. She'd made friends at school real friends, not just the children at Clara's House. She was learning to draw, to play the piano, to be a child. But sometimes, late at night, I'd find her in the garden, staring at the stars. Lost in thought. Remembering. The letter came on a Thursday. Addressed to Maya. Care of Clara's House. I didn't open it. That wasn't my place. I carried it to her room and knocked on the door. "Someone wrote to you." She took the envelope. Looked at the handwriting. Her face went pale. "What is it?" She didn't answer. Just opened it. Read it. Her hands started to shake. "Maya?" She handed me the letter. Dear Maya, My name i
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY Chapter 116 - The Groundbreaking
Eliza's POVThe morning of the groundbreaking dawned clear and cold.I stood at the window of my study, watching the sun rise over the garden. The tree was bare now, its branches reaching toward the sky like fingers. Winter had come, but there was warmth in the house the warmth of family, of hope, of new beginnings.Today, we broke ground on Maya's House.Clara appeared in the doorway. "Ready?""Ready."The GatheringThe ceremony was small.Maya stood at the front, a shovel in her hands. Anna beside her. Clara beside her. The children gathered around, their breath misting in the cold air.I stood at the back, Adam beside me, watching."This is for everyone who was lost," Maya said. "And everyone who was found."She drove the shovel into the earth.The crowd cheered.The SpeechAfter the groundbreaking, Maya asked to speak.She stood on a small platfo

Eliza's POVMaya kept her promise.The first letter arrived three days after she left. A single page, written in careful handwriting, folded into a paper crane.Dear Eliza,I'm at Anna's house. It's small but nice. She has a garden, too. Not as big as ours, but she grows tomatoes and roses and something she calls 'mystery flowers' because she doesn't remember what she planted.Her mother lives next door. My grandmother. She's old and she smells like cookies and she cried when she saw me. She said I look like my mother. I don't know if that's true, but it felt good to hear.I miss you. I miss Clara. I miss the tree and the garden and the children. But I'm okay. I'm learning things. About my family. About myself.I'll write again next week.Love,MayaI read the letter three times. Then I placed it in the box with my mother's letters.The Second LetterThe second letter came a week l
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 113 - The Gift
Eliza's POVThe letter arrived on a Wednesday.Plain envelope. No return address. But the handwriting was familiar looped, careful, the same as the letters I'd found in my mother's box.I opened it in the study.Eliza,I'm writing from a place I never thought I'd see again. A small town in Vermont. A garden. A cat. A life.Adrienne told me about you. About what you built. About the children. She said you're the one who finished what our mother started.I'm Vera's sister. I'm the one who got away. And I have something for you.It's not a key. Not a ledger. Not a secret.It's a gift. A real one. Something our mother made. Something she wanted you to have.I'll be at the gate tomorrow at noon.AdrienneI read the letter twice. Then I called Adam.The ArrivalNoon came slowly.I waited at the gate, watching the road. Adam stood behind me, his hand on my
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 112 - The outside world
Eliza's POVSpring came early that year.The garden burst into bloom roses, lavender, the sapling Dmitri had planted now tall enough to cast a small shadow. The children ran through the grass, their laughter echoing off the house, their faces brighter than they'd been in months.Maya was the first to ask about school."I want to learn things," she said one morning, sitting beside me on the bench. "Real things. Not just what Vera taught us.""What do you want to learn?""Everything. Math. Science. History. How to be normal."I looked at her. Twelve years old. Brilliant. Hungry for a world she'd been denied."Then we'll find you a school."Her face lit up. "Really?""Really."The SearchFinding a school wasn't easy.The children had no records. No transcripts. No proof they existed. They'd been hidden from the world for years, and the world didn't know how to make room
