Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 131; Married To My Best Friend
HaileyI reached out and took the folded cream paper straight from Evans' hand, my fingers brushing against his cold skin while I read Valarie's neat handwriting twice."Is it really from her?" Nancy asked, stepping closer to my elbow, her eyes fixed on the dried rose sitting inside the velvet box."It is," I whispered, letting out a breath I did not realize I was holding. "She left it here herself, or she paid someone to drop it on the porch before sunrise."Evans wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me back against his chest while we both looked down at the simple note. "She wanted us to know that she is moving on too."The spring air arrived in Paris six months later, bringing soft green leaves to the high trees lining the quiet streets of our new neighborhood. We did not return to the massive, cold Wilson mansion on the edge of the city, the place where I had once spent lonely nights in a separate bedroom while my world fell apart. Evans had secretly bought a smaller two-story
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 130; Home
EvansI pulled back from Hailey's lips just enough to breathe, my hand moving to support her back while she leaned against me, her chest still heaving with quiet sobs.A tiny, wet cough came from the polished floor right next to my left shoe.Hailey wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her coat, letting out a breath that was half a laugh and half a sob. She looked down at the floor, then reached down quickly to snatch a bruised purple grape right out of Kelvin's small, chubby fingers before he could push it into his mouth."No, absolute trash," she whispered to him, her voice still rough from crying.She lifted the boy up, resting him against her hip again. Kelvin blinked his large, dark eyes at me, completely unbothered by the dramatic scene unfolding in the middle of the crowded mall concourse. He clutched a soft blue toy rabbit against his small chest, staring at my face with open, silent curiosity.My throat locked up completely. I took a short, unsteady breath, my hands shaking as I
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 129; Recognition
EvansI did not move for a very long moment, standing completely still near the wide glass doors while the thick stream of afternoon shoppers drifted around me like fast water past a river stone.Hailey stood thirty feet away near the entrance of the bakery, her hands frozen on the handles of her shopping bag, her breath catching so hard I could see her shoulders lift beneath her light grey coat. She looked down at the small boy riding comfortably on her right hip, then looked back up at me. Her eyes widened in absolute, shattered disbelief, as if she were staring directly at a ghost standing under the bright fluorescent lights of the concourse."Evans?" she whispered.The name barely carried over the steady rumble of the shopping center, but I saw her lips form the shape of it.She did not wait for me to answer. She broke into a sudden run, dodging past an elderly couple pushing a wire stroller and weaving through the middle of the crowded central aisle. She rushed straight toward me
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 128; The Letter
HaileyI sat on the cold wooden floorboards, my eyes tracing the sharp slant of his ink across the heavy paper."I am writing this because I know how stubborn you are," the letter continued, his words bringing the exact sound of his voice right into the quiet bedroom. "I know you will spend every hour looking for logical answers, trying to solve every broken piece of this mess. But if something happens to me tonight, I need you to stop looking for answers and listen to me. Our marriage was never just the arrangement we agreed upon in that quiet room four years ago. It started as a practical plan to protect our families, but loving you stopped being strategy somewhere during that first difficult year. It became the only real, unquestionable thing in my entire life. Everything I did, every secret I kept, and every deal I made with Rey was meant to keep you safe. If I do not make it back to you tonight, please do not waste your life waiting for a ghost. Build a life for yourself and for
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 127: Four Months Later
HaileyFour months passed in a blur of small routines, wet pavement, and quiet mornings.I sat on the low wooden stool near the living room window, rocking four-month-old Kelvin gently on my lap while he chewed on the edge of his cloth bib. Outside, the green hills just beyond London stretched out into the morning fog, calm and completely detached from the life we had left behind in the city."He is getting heavy, Hailey," Nancy said, setting a steaming mug of tea on the small side table next to me.I looked up at her, smiling just enough to show her I was listening. Nancy’s face was fuller now, the hollow paleness under her eyes completely gone after months of proper rest, recovery, and medical care. She laughed far more often these days, a bright, clear sound that filled the drafty old house whenever Calix made a ridiculous joke at the dinner table."He gains another pound every time I turn around," I said, adjusting the baby’s blanket over his feet. "Calix says he is going to be ta
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 126: What Calix Found
CalixThe freezing water slammed into my chest, filling my nose and mouth before I could fight my way to the surface. Above me, the sky blazed orange as the east wing tore itself apart in a secondary blast. Chunks of burning concrete and heavy iron bars rained into the dark reservoir, splashing around me like mortar shells.I kicked hard against the drag of the current, dragging air into my lungs as soon as my head broke the water."Evans!" I shouted, turning in circles while the smoke stung my eyes. "Evans!"Nothing answered except the roar of the fire on the bank and the sound of falling debris.A few feet away, a gray suit jacket bobbed near a floating piece of timber. I swam toward it with quick, desperate strokes, grabbing the collar and pulling the body upward. Rey’s face emerged from the dark water, pale and limp, his head bleeding from a deep gash near his hairline. He was still breathing, his chest hitching in small, ragged gasps.I scanned the water around us, my eyes search
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 48: The Missing Twins
POV: Hailey WilsonThe mansion felt like a graveyard. After David dropped me off, the silence of the hallways seemed to press against my ears. Evans wasn’t home. He was out dealing with "emergencies," leaving me alone in a house that felt less like a home and more like a puzzle with missing pieces.

POV: HaileyThe next morning, I was trying hard to be the good, happy wife, just like I promised Evans. I had almost forgotten the big, scary truth about Nancy and the basement, thanks to the sleeping medicine Evans had given me. All I remembered was that Evans was protecting an orphan, and that Ca
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 47: David Pursuit
POV: David WilsonI watched Evans from across the foyer of the mansion. He looked like a man who hadn't slept in a week. His tie was loose, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was gripping his phone so hard his knuckles were white. He was a mess.In the Wilson family, we are taught from birth that weakn
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 44: Introducing David
POV: HaileyI woke up feeling wonderful, like I’d finally gotten rid of a terrible cold. The confusion from yesterday was gone, and my head felt clear and focused. I remembered Evans and me having a big, sad talk about the lies, and how he confessed he was hiding Nancy, the orphan girl, to keep her
