Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 68: The Mark
HaileyThe sunlight hitting my face didn't feel warm. It felt heavy, like a physical weight pressing against my skin. I didn't wake up with the usual slow drift from sleep to reality. Instead, I snapped awake, my eyes flying open as if a silent alarm had gone off inside my skull. The air in the master suite felt different. It was vibrating. I could hear the distant, muffled hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen three floors down. I could hear the rustle of the wind against the ivy on the outer walls.I sat up, and the silk sheets hissed against my skin. The sound was deafening. My body felt light, but there was a strange, buzzing energy coiled in my muscles, like I was a wire carrying too much current. I swung my legs off the bed, my feet hitting the marble floor. Usually, the stone was freezing in the early morning, but today it felt perfectly temperate.I walked to the vanity mirror, my movements fluid and strangely precise. I didn't stumble. I didn't feel the morning ache in my jo
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 67: The Transfusion
HaileyThe words felt like heavy stones falling from my lips, echoing against the cold glass of the tank. My arm was numb, the skin around the needle site pale and stinging, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the storm inside my head."What did you say?" Evans asked, his voice cracking as he leaned over me, his face a blur of shadow and light."The white room," I whispered, my eyes tracking the last few drops of my blood as they pulsed through the clear tubing. "The hands, Evans. We were holding hands."Lena was moving fast, her gloved hands flying across the monitor screens to silence the screaming alarms. "Pressure is stabilizing, but her vitals are still erratic. Hailey, look at me. Stay focused on the room.""I am here," I said, though it felt like a lie. My mind was still half-caught in that memory, the smell of sterile air and the sound of a child’s muffled sobbing. "She was crying because they were taking me away. We were both in those little white gowns."Evans grip

HaileyMy fingers clamped around the small plastic drive, the edges digging into my skin as Valarie leaned in closer, her breath smelling faintly of peppermint and anxiety."Take it and go, Hailey," she whispered, her eyes darting toward the crowd. "Before he sees us together.""David is already here," I said, my voice tight as I felt the weight of the phone in my other hand. I didn't need to look at the screen to know Evans was moving. I could feel the shift in the room, that heavy, pressurized air that always followed David Wilson like a storm front.Valarie paled, her gaze snapping toward the main entrance. "I can't be here for this. If David sees me giving you anything—""Then move," I snapped, grabbing her elbow and steering her toward the service corridor behind the fabric displays. "Go through the kitchens. Just get out."She didn't argue. She vanished behind a heavy velvet curtain just as the sound of polished leather shoes clicking against the marble floor grew louder. I turn
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 65: The Runaway
Hailey's POV Eli had not called.I had sent that message to Evans to get him home faster and I was not sorry about it. He needed to be here and I needed to tell him what had actually happened, which was that Eli had sent one more message while Evans was at the board meeting and then gone silent completely.The message said simply: The collection. Use it. It is the right move. I am watching.I had stared at that message for a long time. He knew about the collection. He knew about the board situation. He had been watching us closely enough to understand the details of a corporate power struggle happening inside a building he had never entered.Or had he.Evans came through the front door at ten past ten looking like someone had wrung him out and hung him up to dry. I handed him coffee and told him the truth about the Eli message before he could ask anything else. He read it twice and sat down heavily."He is right though," Evans said. "The collection is still the right move.""I know,"
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 64: David's Move
Evan's POV I watched Hailey stare at those three words on her phone screen.Hello, little sister.She looked up at me slowly. Neither of us spoke for a moment."Eli," she said quietly."Eli," I confirmed.She typed back immediately. I watched her fingers move without hesitation. She turned the screen toward me so I could read what she wrote.Who are you and what do you want.Not a question. A statement. That was Hailey now. Direct and unafraid in a way that still caught me off guard.The response came within seconds.Not here. Not like this. When you are ready, you will find me. You already know how.She read it twice. Then she put the phone face down on the table and looked at me. "He means the ability," she said. "He knows about it.""He would," I said. "If Frost created him first, he has been living with whatever ability he has for longer than either of you. He probably understands the mechanics better than Lena does.""He called me little sister," Hailey said."Yes.""Which means
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 63: The Ask
Hailey's POV Evans came inside looking like he had seen a ghost.He closed the front door behind him slowly, locked it, then stood in the hallway without moving for a moment. I watched him from the kitchen doorway. His face was doing that thing it did when he was processing something too large to immediately put into words."Sit down," I said.He came into the kitchen and sat. I put a fresh cup of tea in front of him. He wrapped both hands around it but didn't drink."Tell me about Lena first," I said, sitting across from him. "Then whatever else happened outside."He looked up. "You saw?""I saw you stop on the front step and stand there for two minutes," I said. "Something happened. But tell me about Lena first because I need to understand Nancy's situation before anything else."He nodded and set the cup down.He told me everything Lena had said. The compound. The ten weeks. The cellular deterioration. The neutralizing agent that could slow things down but not reverse them. I list
Married To My Best Friend; Her Blood, My Passion Chapter 46: David's Confession
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 45: The First Date ( Affair)
POV: EvansI stood in my closet, staring at the navy suit Valarie had demanded I wear. It felt like putting on a clown costume for the saddest show on earth. My older brother, David, had just left, leaving behind a trail of cold fear and the huge mess he made by getting rid of Calix. Now, I was fac
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
