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 83: Evans last Secret

    EvansI lay in the dark, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. Beside me, I felt the mattress shift. Hailey sat up, her movement sharp and jagged. I kept my eyes closed, forcing my breathing to stay shallow, but I could feel her focus on me. It wasn't just a gaze; it was a physical weight. Her ability was out of control, radiating off her in waves of heat that made the air in the room feel thin. I knew she felt it. She felt the rot of the lie I had been carrying since the day we stood at the altar. I waited, counting the seconds in the silence, until I heard her feet hit the carpet. She moved like a ghost, her footsteps receding toward the door. Only when the soft click of the latch echoed through the room did I let out the breath I had been holding.I sat up and rubbed my face with my palms, my skin feeling raw. I needed to say it. I needed to speak the truth into the dark before it choked me to death. I pulled on a robe and walked down the hallway, the cold marble

  • Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion    Chapter 82: The Plan

    HaileyThe kitchen was too quiet when Evans walked back in with Nancy. He was supporting her weight, his arm wrapped firmly around her thin waist, while her bare, dirty feet dragged slightly on the polished floor. Mabel stood up immediately, grabbing a warm blanket from the sofa and wrapping it around my sister’s shoulders. We didn't speak for a long time. We just sat there in the harsh light of the kitchen, the steam from a forgotten kettle rising into the air."You're sure about this, Nancy?" I asked, my voice cracking. I reached across the table to touch her hand. It was still like ice. "You know where she is?"Nancy looked at me, and for a second, the vacant look of a doll was gone. Her eyes were sharp, glowing with a strange, internal light. "I don't just know, Hailey. I can hear the rhythm of the facility. It’s a low-frequency pulse, hidden beneath an old textile factory on the outskirts of the 13th Arrondissement. Frost thinks she’s clever by hiding in plain sight."Evans pulle

  • Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion    Chapter 81; Nancy's Choice

    EvansThe sight of that empty bed was like a physical blow to my stomach. I stood in the middle of the room, my lungs burning, staring at the tangled sheets and the IV needle lying on the floor. Hailey was right behind me, her hand over her mouth, her eyes wide with a terror that made my blood run cold."Nancy!" I shouted, but the only answer was the wind whistling through the shattered window.I didn't wait for Hailey to speak. I spun around and sprinted for the security hub in the basement. My heart was thudding against my ribs like a trapped bird. If Frost had taken her, if she was back in a cage because I wasn't fast enough, I would never forgive myself."Marcus! Get the monitors up!" I screamed as I burst into the room.Marcus was already typing, his face pale under the glow of the screens. "I'm checking the perimeter, sir. No one broke in. The alarms didn't go off.""Then how is she gone?" I demanded, slamming my hand on the desk. "Look at the hallway cameras. Now!"Marcus scrol

  • 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

    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

    POV: HaileyThe next morning, I was trying hard to be the good, happy wife, just like I promised Evans.
