Claire's POV

It had been a few hours since Grey left, and I'd been planning on heading out too, work, finally, back to the office like I'd promised him. Then my phone buzzed with a text from Victor, and it hit me: right, I had plans today. Plans I'd made earlier with Victor. The guy from Tinder.

Yeah. Tinder. I know how that sounds. Desperate, right? Pathetic even, a whole grown woman swiping through strangers' faces at midnight like it's a menu. But I'm not desperate. I'm not even looking for

  • Married To My Enemy   Chapter 92

    Claire's POV The second those words left his mouth, tension slammed into the room so hard I could feel it in my own chest. My heart was suddenly in my throat, pounding so loud I was genuinely scared he or anyone else standing nearby could hear it.I glanced at Grey. He looked bored. Completely, blissfully bored, like Felix was just rambling about nothing, some inside joke he wasn't in on. He hadn't caught it. Thank fuck, he hadn't caught it. But Felix wasn't done, I could see it in his face, that glint in his eye that said he was just getting started, and every word he added was getting more and more specific, circling closer and closer to the truth like a fucking vultureStop. Please, stop talking.I stared at him, silently begging with everything I had, praying he'd read the room, read my face, read literally anything and just shut his mouth. But he wasn't reading anything. If anything my panic seemed to be feeding him, because his smile only stretched wider, more amused, like w

  • Married To My Enemy   Chapter 91

    Claire's POV It took me a solid few seconds to actually process what was happening. Grey. Punching Victor. Brutally, relentlessly, fist after fist landing on a man who wasn't even fighting back at this point, just curled up trying to protect his face."Stop!" My voice finally came back to me, cracking on the word. I wrapped the sheet around myself and scrambled off the bed. "Grey, stop! Please, stop it!"I grabbed his arm, tried to yank him off, but he wasn't budging, so I screamed, full volume, right into the room."STOP!"That finally broke through. He froze, chest heaving, and pulled back. Victor's face was already a mess, blood at the corner of his mouth, one eye already starting to swell."Are you okay?" Grey asked, turning to me, breathing hard."Am I…" I nearly choked on the words. "I'm fine! What the fuck are you doing here?!""I was helping…""I wasn't in trouble!" I shouted. "What the hell were you 'helping' me from?!"I watched it hit him, actual realization, dawn

    Claire's POVIt had been a few hours since Grey left, and I'd been planning on heading out too, work, finally, back to the office like I'd promised him. Then my phone buzzed with a text from Victor, and it hit me: right, I had plans today. Plans I'd made earlier with Victor. The guy from Tinder.Yeah. Tinder. I know how that sounds. Desperate, right? Pathetic even, a whole grown woman swiping through strangers' faces at midnight like it's a menu. But I'm not desperate. I'm not even looking for a relationship. This was just my last-ditch, kind of pitiful attempt to get over Grey, because nothing else was working. Every method I'd tried to just stop had failed, and somewhere along the line I'd convinced myself that the only way out was to put somebody else in that space. Date someone. Hook up with someone. Anyone who wasn't him, if it meant my brain would finally shut up about him for five minutes.Because being around Grey was making me stupid. There was no other word for it. Why the f

  • Married To My Enemy   Chapter 89

    Grey's POVI stared at Felix for a long second before I said anything."What does that have to do with me?"He blinked, clearly not expecting that."That's Leah's business," I said. "I'm pretty sure she's already aware I'm engaged." I gave him a look. "And if what you're saying is true... you'd have proof. Show me."He didn't have anything ready, just stood there with his jaw working, and I walked past him without waiting for whatever half-assed answer he was gonna scrape together.I headed toward the meeting room, but my head wasn't in it. Not even a little. All I could think about was what the hell Felix and Reine were actually planning, whether he had real evidence or was just running his mouth to get under my skin, and if he wasn't bluffing, what that meant for Leah. Because if this blew up, it was gonna blow up on her, not me. She'd take the hit. Because of me.I sat down for the meeting and spent the entire hour blaming myself, barely tracking a word anyone said. She told me she

  • Married To My Enemy   Chapter 88

    Grey's POVThe second I saw her pull that door open, I knew I was fucked. Knew leaving wasn't gonna be as simple as grab the jacket, say bye, go home. Should've just sent Alex to pick the damn thing up. That would've been the smart move, the professional move, the move that didn't involve me driving twenty minutes across the city on some pathetic, desperate need to see her face and make sure she was actually okay after everything.Because let's be real.. this was never about the jacket. I didn't give a single shit about that jacket. I own forty of them. I could burn that thing right now and not feel a goddamn thing.But here I was anyway.And she opened the door in... holy fuck. Black lingerie, sheer enough that I could see straight through it, tiny red cherries scattered across the fabric, barely reaching halfway down her thighs. Neckline cut so low I could see the curve of boobs, more than I had any business seeing standing in her doorway. Through the fabric I could make out purple

  • Married To My Enemy   Chapter 87

    Claire's POV It'd been a full week since the fire, and I still hadn't gone back to work. Grey had actually been decent about it, told me to come back whenever I was fully recovered, didn't put a timeline on it or anything. Which, honestly, probably wasn't him being some saint about it.. more likely he figured I wasn't going anywhere anyway, not now that I'd lost one entire source of income overnight. Smart bet on his part. Asshole.Physically I was fine. No burns, no injuries, nothing you could point to and go "there, that's why she's not okay." But I hadn't left my apartment in days, and every time I thought about going outside my chest just locked up. Because none of that… the gunshots, the fire, the locked door… none of it felt random. It didn't feel like some gang thing gone wrong or bad luck or a coincidence. It felt targeted. It felt like somebody wanted one specific person dead that night, and that person was me.I shook the thought off, again, the way I'd been shaking it of

    Claire’s POVAs Grey's cruel words echoed in the room, my eyes blurred with tears, and a sob escaped my trembling lips. Grey's indifferent gaze remained fixed on me as I broke down, crying uncontrollably. My cries grew louder, echoing in the room, but Grey seemed utterly unaffected. He crossed his

    Claire’s POVI quickened my pace, struggling to catch up with my dad. He was way too fast, and he didn’t bother turning back to see if I was still following him or if I had failed to keep up.“Dad, wait for me!” I called out, scrambling to fix a hairpin that had come loose in my ginger hair.“Clair

    Grey’s POVI leaned toward one of my guards and murmured, “Check her.”The guard stepped forward and tugged at the collar of her shirt, exposing the smooth line of her collarbone and the upper curve of her chest. My eyes followed the movement without hesitation. If the mark was there, this would en

    Grey’s POVI headed straight for the bathroom the moment I got home. It had been a long night, and the scent of fresh blood still clung to my skin.I wasn’t complaining.There was something almost ceremonial about washing Frederick’s blood from my hands.
