Married To My Fiancé's Enemy Chapter 34: The Escape
The silence in the West Wing was getting louder. For three days, Adrian hadn’t left the penthouse, and neither had Lila. Adrian was a ghost, hovering over security monitors, his jaw set so tight it looked like it might snap. He was obsessed with the breach, obsessed with the fact that Marcus had touched her, and obsessed with the reality that his fortress had holes he hadn't seen coming. He paced the floor like a caged panther, his silver eyes scanning data points that meant nothing to Lila but everything to his war.Lila was done. She was done with the "protection," done with the obsession, and done with the feeling of being a trophy hidden in a vault. Every time she looked at the reinforced glass, she saw the reflection of a woman she didn’t recognize—a woman who was letting the war swallow her whole."I’m going, Adrian. You can’t stop me," Lila said. Her voice was flat, final. She didn’t look at him as she threw a light sundress into a small leather overnight bag. She didn't pack
Married To My Fiancé's Enemy Chapter 33: No Way Out
The roar of the engine from the street below was the only warning Marcus got. Lila felt the vibration of the tires screaming against the pavement fifty stories down. She knew that sound. It wasn't just a car; it was a promise. Adrian was back, and he was coming for blood. "He’s here," Lila breathed, a flash of hope cutting through her terror. Marcus’s face contorted with rage. He tightened his grip on her arm, his fingers digging into her skin like claws. "He’s too late. We’re leaving. Now!" He shoved her toward the ledge where the rope ladder swayed in the wind. The height made Lila’s head spin. One slip and there would be nothing left but a headline in the morning papers. "I’m not going anywhere with you, Marcus!" Lila screamed, planting her feet. "Look at you! You’re working with the Uncle who don't even care about you! You’re pathetic!" Slap. The sound of his hand hitting her face echoed across the open terrace. Lila’s head snapped to the side, the copper taste of blood fil
Married To My Fiancé's Enemy Chapter 32: The Breach
Adrian had only been gone for five minutes when the silence in the West Wing started to feel wrong.Lila stood in the middle of the room, her heart still racing from the way he had looked at her before he left. He was going to his company, but he had looked at her like she was the only thing that actually mattered. It was confusing. It was frustrating. And it made her feel trapped.She needed air.Lila walked toward the large glass doors that led to the private balcony. She expected the guards to stop her. Adrian had promised her "top-tier" security, men who wouldn't let a fly pass without a background check.But when she looked into the hallway, the chairs were empty. The guards were gone.A cold shiver ran down her spine. Something is wrong.She pushed open the glass doors and stepped out. The humid New York night air hit her face, and for a second, she felt like she could breathe again. She leaned against the stone railing, looking down at the millions of lights below."You always
Married To My Fiancé's Enemy Chapter 31: Tension
The ride back from the hospital was the loudest silence Lila had ever experienced. Adrian didn’t look at her, but he didn't let go of her hand, either. His grip was firm, almost bruising, as if he expected her to evaporate into the humid city air if he loosened his fingers for even a second. The moment they crossed the threshold of the penthouse, the atmosphere shifted. The staff was already moving with a frantic, quiet energy. Boxes of Lila’s things were being carried out of the East Wing and across the neutral territory of the foyer. "What is happening?" Lila asked, her voice sounding small in the vast, marble hall. "You’re moving," Adrian said. He didn't stop walking until they reached the heavy, double oak doors of the West Wing. "The East Wing is too isolated. Too many blind spots for security. From now on, you stay with me." "Adrian, I’m pregnant, not a prisoner," she snapped, trying to pull her hand away. He stopped abruptly, turning to face her. His silver eyes were no lo
Married To My Fiancé's Enemy Chapter 30: The Sound of a Heartbeat
The buzzing of her phone on the nightstand felt like a drill against Lila’s skull. She groaned, pulling the duvet tighter around her ears, trying to block out the morning light and the persistent vibration. Her stomach felt like it was full of lead and acid, a familiar greeting that had become her new normal over the last few weeks.Finally, she reached out and swiped the screen. It was a video call. Sophie’s bright, worried face filled the display."Lila! Oh my God, look at you," Sophie blurted out before Lila could even say hello. "You look like a Victorian ghost. Are you even eating? You’re so pale you’re practically translucent."Lila forced a weak smile, propping herself up against the headboard. "Good morning to you too, Soph. I’m fine. Just... a lot of late nights.""Late nights doing what? Staring at the walls?" Sophie’s expression shifted from worry to disapproval. "Don't tell me. You and the Ice King are still at it, aren't you? How long has it been now? Two months? Lila, tw
Married To My Fiancé's Enemy Chapter 29: Paper Trail
The house was too quiet. It was the kind of silence that made your ears ring and your skin crawl. Lila sat in the dark, staring at the walls, feeling like a fly caught in a very expensive spiderweb. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her father’s face in that video. Every time she took a breath, she felt the sick, rolling waves of nausea in her stomach. She kept telling herself it was just the nerves. Anyone would be sick if their life had turned into a horror movie overnight.But she couldn't just sit there. She was done waiting for Adrian to tell her the "truth" in bits and pieces.She got out of bed, her bare feet hitting the cold floor. She didn't turn on any lights. She didn't want the guards at the end of the hall to see her shadow moving. She slipped out of her room and headed toward the library.She was betting it held something connected to this whole web.The library was huge and smelled like old books and Adrian’s expensive cologne. Lila went straight to the massive des
