.Her Lies, My War

Ella’s Private Lounge

Ella sat by a vintage phonograph, playing a soft French song as she swirled wine in her glass.

Her phone buzzed.

Agent: “Phase One complete. Kate’s OB records were flagged by the health department. It will appear like insurance fraud.”

“Perfect,” she whispered.

“She’ll be under review within forty-eight hours.”

Ella smiled at her reflection. “And when Pierre is forced to choose between his company and a ‘lying’ wife?”

She lifted her glass.

“He’ll bury her.”

Kate’s POV

The moment I left Pierre’s office, the air outside felt suffocating. Even the corridor seemed to hum with silent judgment. Every glance from passing staff held a question. Suspicion. Whispers I couldn’t hear, but I felt them sinking into my skin like glass shards.

Ella’s game had begun.

And now, she was targeting more than Pierre’s empire, she was going after my child.

    . The Masked BetrayalMeanwhile, at Ella’s SuiteElla’s POVElla stood by the window, watching the raindrops dance across the glass. Her phone buzzed.“Is it done?” she asked, not bothering with pleasantries, this was a mission, and she sure is making every move to make it work.A distorted voice answered, “The DNA records will be altered by tomorrow. Her medical file is being tampered with as we speak.”“Good. We’ll make sure there’s no baby by the time she’s due.”She hung up and turned to her mirror, practicing the smile she’d wear for the press conference with Pierre.“You’re not ready for war, Kate,” she whispered to her reflection.“But I was born for it.” She added, letting her lips smirk, Starring at herself as she did so.Pierre’s POVThere was a time I could command a room with a single glance.Not anymore.Not when one eye saw darkness. Not when my heart sputtered like a faulty machine. Not when my empire was bleeding through an invisible wound, and I couldn’t find the blad

    . A Womb Full of SecretsKate’s POVI ran, not looking back to see his face a second time, not in the literal sense—my body was already too fragile, too wary of what lived inside me, but emotionally, I was a storm pulling away from land, trying not to flood the coast I loved, and the only thing my brain could think of was running.Pierre had looked at me like I was someone else.Like I was her again.The redhead he had dreamt about. The woman he thought he lost, but he hadn’t just lost me, he had shredded me with months of indifference, suspicion, and silence.Now he wanted to look at me with softness in his eyes, now that he knew, but there was just something different about It.The hallway felt longer than usual as I walked to my suite. I kept my eyes forward, ignoring the way my vision blurred with tears. My hand instinctively dropped to my belly, still flat, still betraying no secrets, but alive.A child.His child.Our child.I reached my room and closed the door, letting my back

    . The Red Thread of TruthPierre’s POVThe silence was loud.She was her.The redhead.The only woman I had let into my private hell.And now she was my wife?I gripped the edge of the desk, barely hearing the city hum beyond the glass behind me. Kate’s voice still rang in my ears like a ghost echoing through an abandoned cathedral. It was clear and I could read the room too….“I knew you six months ago…”The pieces clattered into place like dominoes in my head, her scent, her voice, the way her fingers had trembled that night. All of it had felt like a dream wrapped in midnight. Wishing i could wake up, but this was reality.And now it stood before me, in the form of a woman I had coldly married for convenience.My chest tightened, from the unbearable realization that I had been cruel to the one person who had stayed.“You’re lying.”The words came out of me like a shield. A last attempt to reject the fire about to swallow me whole.Her jaw tightened. “I’m not.”“Then why didn’t you

    - Lies, Leaks, and Laced TruthsKate’s POVThe photo of Ella and Pierre lay on the coffee table like a cursed relic, mocking, daring me to believe it. I had stared at it for hours, flipping it over, zooming in, squinting, even sniffing it as if it might somehow confess its lie out loud. But it didn’t. And the longer I looked at it, the more my resolve chipped away. I had tried to tell him. About the night. About me. But Ella had snuck in like poison just before I could.Now? I didn’t even know if the truth would matter anymore. It hurts to even think about it again, so I’ll just let it be.I closed the folder containing Kalis’s medical reports and shoved it back beneath the floorboard where I had hidden it. Pierre’s life was still at stake, Ella’s deception or not.He needed me. Only I could save him. And God help me, despite the betrayal, I still wanted him, so much.My phone buzzed violently on the vanity. I grabbed it. It’s Kalis.Kalis: “Kate, it’s happening. I ran into Pierre at t

  • MY UNWANTED WIFE IS THE BEST    CHAPTER FIVE

    Chapter Five~The Broken King>Pierre's Pov The city lights came in through the French windows, upsetting my bad eye with each pulse of color. It was a reminder of what I have become and what might become of the empire I was struggling to hold together. My fingers traced the scar that ran over my blind eye, feeling its raised edges beneath my fingers. The gesture had become a habit and it betrayed the weakness I fought so hard to hide."You had looked so pathetic in that meeting, Pierre," my father's words from this morning cut through my thoughts. "Do you think that anyone could respect a leader who shows his weakness in public?"Weakness? I laughed mirthlessly at the word. The sound died in my throat as I wondered what kind of leader could not even trust his own heart to keep beating? It was all because my heart had failed in the board meeting and I had to clutch my chest, gasping for breath with everyone watching. The intercom rang and I walked to the desk and reached for it. "
