Evans' POV

I stared at my phone screen, Hailey had hung up without agreeing to stay home, I knew her well enough to know what that meant.

She was going to leave anyway.

Stubborn, beautiful, reckless woman.

I dialed Marcus, "the bodyguard, is she in position yet?"

"Sarah's been watching the house since six this morning," Marcus confirmed, "your wife hasn't left yet."

"She will," I said, already grabbing my car keys, "make sure Sarah follows her everywhere, I don't care if Hailey notices, just ke

  • 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,

    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 74: The Spy

    EvansThe terror in Nancy’s eyes was like a physical weight against my chest. I felt her pulse through Hailey’s hand as I stepped into the room. I didn't need to hear her words to know the air had changed. The atmosphere in the sunroom was thick, vibrating with a frequency that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up."Nancy, let go of her," I said, my voice low and steady. I was trying to keep the panic out of my own throat.Nancy didn't move. She was staring at the door as if a ghost were standing there. "He’s right there, Evans. The intention... it’s so loud. It’s like a bell ringing in my head."I didn't wait for another second. I grabbed Hailey’s waist and pulled her behind me, my eyes scanning the empty hallway. There was nothing but the soft glow of the wall sconces and the deep shadows of the Wilson estate. But I knew better than to trust my eyes. If Nancy felt it, it was real."Marcus!" I roared, my voice echoing off the marble.Within seconds, the heavy thud of combat

    Hailey's POVI stared at the crumpled piece of paper on my nightstand, the address Calix had scribbled in his messy handwriting stared back at me like an accusation.Part of me wanted to go, wanted answers to all the questions piling up in my head, wanted to understand who Nancy was and why everyon

And why does this matter to me? To my marriage?"He looked at me with those intense eyes, like he
