Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 80: Mabel
HaileyThe drawing Evans brought home was sitting on my lap, the waxy texture of the crayons feeling like a brand against my skin. Three girls. Holding hands. "Find us." Every time I closed my eyes, I felt that sharp, jagged grief again. It was a physical pain, a needle pressing into the base of my skull. The house felt too big, too cold, and far too full of men with guns and secrets. I couldn't breathe in here anymore.I picked up my phone with shaking fingers. I didn't call Evans. I didn't call Calix. I dialed a number in England that I had memorized years ago."Mabel?" I whispered as soon as she picked up."Hailey? Goodness, you sound like you’ve seen a ghost," Mabel’s voice came through the line, warm and steady."I need you," I said, a sob catching in my throat. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to keep the walls from closing in. "I found a sister, Mabel. Two sisters. But it’s bad. Everything is falling apart and I don't know who to trust. Please. I need you to come to Paris.""I’l
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 79: Subject Three
EvansThe weight of Hailey’s collapse was still heavy in my arms. I had carried her to the sofa, her body trembling with a grief that didn't belong to her. Nancy was staring at us from the bed, her eyes wide and haunted. The air in the room felt like it was humming with a frequency I couldn't hear but could definitely feel. It was the sound of a family being torn apart across the city."She's in pain, Evans," Hailey whispered, her fingers clutching my lapel. "It's so loud. Please, you have to find her."I didn't need any more motivation. I stood up and looked at Marcus, who was already hovering near the door with his tablet in hand. "Mobilize everyone. I don't care about the cost. I want every encrypted server, every hidden medical file, and every shell company linked to Frost scanned within the hour.""I'm already on it, sir," Marcus replied, his fingers flying across the screen. "But Frost is a ghost. She uses layers of digital noise to hide her tracks. If there is a third girl, she
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 78: Three
HaileyThe paper felt like a piece of dry ice in my hand. It was cold, sharp, and felt like it was burning right through my skin. I stood in the middle of Evans' study, the yellowed birth record trembling between my fingers. I looked at the names again. Nancy. Hailey. My vision blurred, and the ink seemed to bleed across the page until the third line came into focus."Subject Three," I whispered. My voice didn't sound like mine. It was hollow, like it was coming from the bottom of a well.Evans was watching me from across the desk. His face was a mask of worry, his dark eyes tracking every twitch of my hands. "Hailey, breathe. Just breathe.""Three," I said, looking up at him. "We aren't twins, Evans. Nancy and I... we aren't the only ones.""The records are undeniable," Evans said, his voice low and heavy. "The genetic markers are identical. You were born on the same day, in the same facility, from the same source. You’re triplets."I sat down in the leather chair, my legs finally gi
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 77: The Real Enemy
EvansI stood in the center of my study, the air smelling of old paper and the sharp, metallic tang of the surveillance devices I had smashed on my desk. My hands were still shaking, but it wasn't from fear anymore. It was pure, unfiltered rage. The digital tablet in my hand flickered, reflecting the dark circles under my eyes. Marcus stood by the window, his arms crossed, his silhouette framed by the moonlight hitting the glass."Tell me everything, Marcus," I said. My voice sounded like it was being dragged over gravel. "Don't leave out a single detail. I want to know who is breathing down our necks."Marcus sighed, a heavy sound that made the room feel smaller. "It's a spiderweb, Evans. We thought Dr. Frost was a rogue scientist working out of a basement. She isn't. She is the center of a global network. I traced the funding for those biological transmitters we found in Hailey’s room.""And?" I prompted, stepping closer to him."The money doesn't just come from Frost," Marcus said,
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 76: Valarie's Secret
ValarieThe door to my apartment slammed shut, but I couldn't block out the sound of Hailey’s voice. What did she take from you, Valarie? Those words were crawling under my skin like a fever. I leaned my back against the cold wood, my lungs burning as I tried to catch my breath. My hands were shaking so violently that my keys fell to the floor with a sharp, metallic clatter.I didn't turn on the lights. I didn't want to see my own reflection in the floor to ceiling windows. I didn't want to see the expensive furniture or the designer bags that felt like lead weights around my neck. I stumbled into the living room and collapsed onto the velvet sofa, pulling my knees to my chest.Everyone looks at me and sees a shark. They see the woman who ran from her own wedding. They see the vindictive ex who wants to tear down the Wilson empire because she was passed over for a replacement. They think I want the money. They think I want the power.They have no idea.I reached into my bag and pulled
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 75: Valarie's Threat
HaileyThe words from the phone were still ringing in my ears as I sat in my small design studio at Wilson Corporation. Evans had stayed back at the house to handle the fallout of those devices, his voice sounding like it was coming from the bottom of a deep, dark well. Monitoring my body. Tracking my heart. The thought made my skin crawl with a thousand invisible legs. I tried to focus on the sketches in front of me, but the lines blurred into jagged peaks, looking like the heart rate monitors Nancy was hooked up to.The office was mostly empty, the late evening sun casting long, orange shadows across the fabric swatches and mannequins. I heard the click of heels first. They weren't the sensible shoes of the cleaning staff or the frantic pitter-patter of an assistant. These were deliberate. Sharp. Aggressive.The door swung open, and Valarie Chen walked in. She looked perfect, as always, her hair swept back in a tight bun and a coat draped over her shoulders that probably cost more t
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 35: The Basement
Hailey's POVI stood there staring at the closed door while Evans leaned his forehead against it, his shoulders rising and falling with heavy breaths.He didn't turn around, just stayed there with his hands pressed flat against the door like he was holding it shut against something, "he's crazy, ma
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 34: The Warning
Hailey's POVI stared at Calix standing in my doorway looking like he'd crawled through hell to get here, Evans beside me was a wall of tension."Nancy is asking for me?" I repeated, trying to make sense of his words."Yes," Calix nodded frantically, "she keeps saying your name, she won't calm down
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 33: Calix's Silence
Hailey's POVThree days had passed since Calix stood me up at that abandoned warehouse, three days of radio silence that made me question everything he'd told me about Nancy and Evans and secrets that supposedly mattered.I called his number the first day, listened to it ring four times before goi
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 32: Trying To Reconnect
Evans' POVI opened my eyes to find Hailey still asleep beside me, her face turned toward the window where morning light filtered through the curtains in soft golden streams, she looked peaceful like this, unguarded and soft, not twisted with the confusion and hurt I'd been putting there for weeks.
