Claire’s POV

I woke up with a pounding headache and a mouth that tasted like regret. The sunlight bleeding through the curtains was way too bright, stabbing at my eyes like little needles.

I groaned, lifting a hand to shield my face. Then it hit me....like a slap.

The kiss.

My eyes flew open, heart lurching into my throat. No… no, no, no.

I sat up abruptly and smacked my forehead with the heel of my palm. “God, please tell me that didn’t actually happen.”

Did I really kiss Felix?

I tried to pie

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 67

    Claire’s POVI stepped inside hesitant, still half-regretting the whole decision. "You don't have to… I mean, I didn't mean to bother you, I can just go if…""No," Grey cut in, quick. "You're not bothering me. Besides, you know i can never say no to you"He looked at me for a second, something softer in his face than I expected. "I missed you. Genuinely happy you actually want to spend time with me right now."I didn't know what to do with that, so I just stood there while he walked over to the mini bar in the corner, pulled out a bottle of vodka, and poured two glasses without asking if I even wanted one.He handed me a glass. "Take a shot. Calm yourself down""I'm calm" I lied, when infact, my heart was in my throat"Really?" He walked closer, both glasses in hand now, and every step he took toward me made it harder to actually believe my own claim. My brain kept screaming step back, step back, and my feet just refused to listen."Yeah," I muttered, holding my ground even as every n

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 66

    Grey’s POVI just stared at him. Genuinely stared, like I could somehow will the words back into his mouth and make them mean something different.I always knew what my father was power-hungry, ruthless, willing to burn down anything and anyone standing between him and whatever he wanted next. Wasn't new information. But hearing it laid out this plainly, watching him sit there so calm about it… it still managed to hit different. Still managed to disappoint me in some fresh, exhausting way, like some small stupid part of me kept expecting he'd hit a limit eventually. He never does. Everything just falls into place for this man, conveniently, endlessly, like the universe itself decided a long time ago that Alto DeLuca doesn't get consequences.Hannah's about to expose him, and what happens? She turns up dead, and somehow Leah's the one holding the blame. Now here he is, using that exact leverage to force me into shutting down the one investigation that could actually bury him for good.

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 65

    Grey’s POVWe went through that footage over and over, rewound it, paused it, scrubbed forward and back, and came up with absolutely nothing useful. Just the same gap, same black screen, same conveniently timed nothing right when it mattered most.I left Leah with the officer and headed straight for the reception desk.There was a middle-aged woman sitting there, and something about her hit me the second I walked up, she looked familiar, in a way I couldn't place. Like I'd seen her somewhere before, some memory sitting just out of reach, refusing to surface no matter how hard I tried to grab it.She looked up at me, and for a split second there was something in her expression I couldn't read. Gone almost as fast as it appeared, replaced by this bright, forced smile."Hello, sir. How can I help you today?"I studied her face a beat too long, still trying to place her. My eyes dropped to the name tag pinned to her chest.Matilda Perez.Even the name sat familiar on my tongue, like I'd h

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 64

    Claire’s POVI sat there staring at the screen, completely frozen. Hannah's dead? And I'm the one getting blamed for it?I had no idea what to do. No idea who to call, who'd even believe me if I tried explaining any of this. I literally spoke to her yesterday. Sat across from her, watched her agree to testify, watched her actually commit to turning Alto in to protect Felix. That's not the headspace of somebody who kills herself hours later. She wasn't suicidal. She was determined. Scared, sure, but determined, focused on doing something that actually mattered for once in her miserable, self-serving life.So how the hell does she end up hanging herself the same night? And where did she even get a rope from? There was nothing in that room yesterday, I remember it clearly — bare walls, standard hospital furniture, nothing she could've used even if she wanted to. Somebody gave her that rope. And whoever gave it to her either killed her outright or pushed her hard enough that she did it he

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 63

    Alto’s POVI sat alone in my study, one hand resting against the arm of the chair, the other loosely wrapped around a glass of whiskey I'd stopped actually drinking a while ago.The room was dead quiet. Except for that faint voice coming through the speaker sitting on my desk."...Did Alto put you up to this?"Leah.I knew her voice the second it hit the room. No mistaking it.A beat of silence, then Hannah answered."He threatened to kill Felix if I didn't cooperate."Didn't so much as flinch hearing that. Expected it, honestly. Fear is the only language that woman has ever actually understood. She never stayed loyal to me out of love, out of loyalty, out of any of that soft bullshit people like to pretend holds relationships together. She stayed loyal because I made damn sure she never had another option.I kept listening."He told me to pretend I was insane," Hannah went on. "Stay here. Let everyone think I'm too unstable for trial." A shaky breath crackled through the speaker. "He

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 62

    Claire’s POV"I want a divorce," I said.The room went dead silent after that. Grey just stared at me, this look on his face like he was praying he'd somehow misheard."You want... what?" he said, voice barely above a whisper.I didn't repeat myself. Just walked over to the nightstand, grabbed the papers I'd left sitting there earlier and handed them to him.He took them slowly while i watched his eyes move across the page, watched his hands start to tremble the further down he read.He looked up at me. "Wh… why do you want a divorce? What did I do wrong?"The stammer in his voice nearly broke something in me. Nearly."Everything," I said.I watched that word land on him. Watched confusion and shock war across his face, watched him try to find some foothold in a conversation that had just collapsed out from under him."Just tell me," he said. "Whatever I did, I'll fix it. I'll apologize. We can talk about this."I turned away instead. Grabbed my car keys off the dresser, my bag off th

    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. I had imagined this night for years — the ni

    Claire’s POVBack to presentI was about to head in when something caught my eye. The Italian tattoo on the side of his neck.Grey De Luca. My supposed fiancé… or ex-fiancé. Sometimes, I wished we were still engaged.He was putting on a black suit, holding a black briefcase. Fuck, if I said I didn’

  • Married To My Enemy   chapter 2

    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
