Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 41: The Memory Cocktail
POV: EvansI watched Hailey sitting on the cold floor of the secret basement, staring at Nancy’s glass chamber. Her face was blank, like someone had erased all the color and life from it. She looked completely broken, and it was all my fault.I knew I had failed. I had promised Hailey no more lies, but in that moment, seeing her total devastation, I knew the full truth was too heavy for her. It made her weak, and right now, weakness was deadly. Dr. Frost and Valarie were closing in. Hailey couldn't fight them if she was broken by my betrayal.She had asked me to leave her alone to think. I went back upstairs, but I didn't go far. I walked into my private office and locked the door. I had to fix this, and I had to fix it now, before she ran to Calix or, worse, went straight to the police.I walked over to a hidden safe built into the wall. Inside wasn't money or jewels, but a small, locked metal box. I opened it with a special code. Inside was a tiny, glass vial filled with a clear, sh
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 40: The Glass Secret
POV: HaileyThe drive home later that day was stuffy, terribly so, and the silence was heavy, really heavy, like a lead blanket thrown over us, we hadn't spoken anything since we left the café where Evans and Calix had that terrifying fight, and every minute felt like an hour, truly unending. I sat staring out the window, clutching the manila folder Calix had given me, the papers inside crinkling loudly, feeling the sharp points of the corners poking my chest, physical proof of the nightmare that was now my life.Evans finally parked the car in our mansion's garage, but neither of us moved right away, we just sat there in the quiet darkness, with the engine off, the air thick with everything we hadn't said, all the secrets that had just exploded in my face."Say something," I finally managed to whisper, my voice was barely there, thin and wobbly, like a guitar string about to snap, "tell me it’s not true, tell me Calix was crazy, just say anything, Evans, please, lie to me one last ti
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 39: Caught
Evans' POVI stood across the street watching my wife lean forward as Calix spread papers across their table, my jaw clenched so tight I thought my teeth might crack, Sarah had texted me twenty minutes ago saying Hailey left the office early, heading toward Fifth Street, I knew exactly where she was going.The café with the blue awning, the one I'd driven past a hundred times without thinking about it, now it felt like enemy territory, I watched Calix pull out photos, watched Hailey's face go pale as she looked at them, watched her hands shake as she picked up what looked like a manila folder.My phone buzzed again, another text from Sarah asking if I wanted her to intervene, I typed back no and crossed the street, my hands in my pockets to keep them from shaking, not from fear but from pure rage, this was exactly what I'd been afraid of, exactly why I told her to stay away from him.The bell above the café door chimed as I pushed through, several customers looked up but I ignored the
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 38: Calix's Persistence
Hailey's POVI sat at my desk staring at the same design sketch for the third time, my pencil hovering over the paper but not moving, nothing made sense anymore, every time I closed my eyes I heard Evans' voice echoing in my head.The girl in there, Hailey doesn't know anything yet.What girl, who was he talking about, was it Nancy like Calix kept saying, and if it was Nancy, why was she in our basement, why was Evans keeping her from me."Hailey," Claire knocked on my office door, making me jump, "you okay, you've been staring at that paper for twenty minutes.""I'm fine," I forced a smile, "just thinking through the design.""Well your phone keeps buzzing," she pointed to my desk where my phone screen was lighting up, "might want to check it."I grabbed it as she left, three missed calls from Calix, a text message that said we need to talk, it's urgent.My finger hovered over the delete button, Evans would want me to ignore him, to block his number and pretend he didn't exist, but I
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 37: The Tour
Evans' POVI stared at the spilled coffee spreading across the table, my mind racing faster than I could think, I hadn't expected her to remember, had hoped maybe she'd forget or let it go, but here she was asking about the basement like it was the most natural thing in the world."The basement, right, sure," I grabbed more napkins, buying time, "let me just finish cleaning this up first.""I can wait," she said, her voice too calm, too patient.I threw the napkins away and washed my hands, trying to think of an excuse, any excuse that would sound believable, but my mind was blank, she was watching me, waiting, and I couldn't think of a single good reason to say no."Okay," I dried my hands slowly, "let's get this over with."We walked through the house in silence, I could feel her eyes on me the whole time, studying every movement, every hesitation, when we reached the kitchen I opened the door to the sub-level storage, not the other entrance, not the one that led to the real basemen
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 36: What Lie's Beneath
Hailey's POVI was halfway down the basement stairs when my phone light caught something strange, this wasn't just a storage area, the walls were too smooth, too white, like a hospital corridor.I backed up slowly, my heart hammering against my ribs, maybe I should go back upstairs, maybe I was crossing a line I couldn't uncross, but my feet kept moving forward, drawn by something I couldn't name.At the bottom of the stairs I found myself in a narrow hallway, not the dusty storage room Evans had described, everything was clean and sterile, the floor was polished concrete, the walls were painted white, fluorescent lights hummed softly overhead.This wasn't right, this wasn't normal.I moved forward carefully, my phone clutched tight in my hand, the hallway stretched ahead of me, several doors on either side, all closed, all identical.Then I heard it, Evans' voice, it was way more louder and coming from somewhere ahead.I froze, pressing myself against the wall, what was he doing down
