Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 16
Chad’s POVI hated her. I didn’t want to see her, didn’t want to think about her. The fact that she had somehow survived the accident, and then married my sworn enemy, Jace, left me seething. Every time I thought of Lyla, my blood boiled. She had been nothing but bad luck for me. My life was better off without her—at least, that’s what I kept telling myself.We were married for over five years before we separated, and the weight of those years without children had gnawed at me. Then, out of nowhere, Becky—my side chick—had gotten pregnant. The joy that surged through me when I found out I was going to be a father was overwhelming. It felt like I’d finally found a glimmer of happiness after everything that had gone wrong in my life. I was going to do whatever it took to protect this newfound joy, and I was certain it would be the start of something better.But, as much as I tried to bury my past with Lyla, fate has a way of bringing two lost souls together in the most unexpected ways.

Lyla’s POVIt was a quiet morning. Jace had a long night meeting and was still fast asleep, but I was already up before breakfast. My usual morning routine was to start the day with a cup of dark coffee, but the doctor had advised me to cut it down for health reasons. So, today, I decided to switch things up and enjoy a soothing cup of hibiscus tea instead.As I approached the kitchen, the soft hum of the TV caught my attention. The newscaster’s voice filtered through the air, announcing the weather report. Descending the staircase, I was greeted by the comforting aroma of the hibiscus tea filling the room. It was just the kind of warm, calming scent I needed to start my day.Mrs. Maddy, the live-in maid, called through the intercom.“Ma’am, should I make your coffee, or would you prefer something else this morning?” she asked.I smiled at the familiar, caring tone in her voice.“No coffee today, Mrs. Maddy. Could you please prepare the hibiscus tea instead?” I replied, glad that my n

Lyla’s POV.The phone call came in like a lightning strike, jagged and fast.“Your sister just woke up from the coma. She’s been calling for you ever since. Please, how fast can you get to the hospital? She needs to see you to stay calm.”I collapsed to the floor, unable to keep myself together. My hand trembled, and the phone slipped from my grasp. Jace, who had been nearby, rushed to my side, thinking something tragic had happened. I could barely form words through the overwhelming flood of emotions.“She’s awake! She’s awake!” was all I managed to yell, my voice cracking from the weight of the relief flooding my system. My anxiety had spiked the moment I saw the call from the hospital, and I had been paralyzed by fear until this moment.Jace immediately pulled me into his arms, wrapping me tightly in an embrace. “It’s alright. It’s alright. She’s alive. Bailey is okay,” he repeated, trying to calm me down as my body shook with a mixture of shock and relief.I tried to steady myself

Lyla’s POVI was burning with rage when Becky walked in. I was shocked, yes, but more than that, I was angry. What was she doing here? My mind raced with thoughts as I bristled with fury.“You better leave now before I do something you definitely won’t like,” I said, my voice cold and threatening.Becky didn’t respond right away. She looked around the room, as if she were searching for something, then took off her sunglasses and stepped closer to me.“Nice to see you too, Lyla,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I can see Jace is treating you well, but it’s only a matter of time before he throws you out when he finds out that your womb can’t carry a child.”Her smile was smug, one side of her cheek lifting with that irritating, superior expression. I tried to move toward her, ready to unleash all my pent-up anger, but Bailey pulled me back.“For the last time, what are you doing here?” Bailey asked, her voice steady.“Easy, Tiger,” Becky replied, her tone mockingly calm. “I’

Lyla's POV."Sis, you can’t keep hiding here and crying your eyes out every single day. You know you're pregnant, and it's not good for the baby." Bailey's voice was gentle as she placed a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me, but I couldn't stop crying. My heart was broken, and my emotions were too raw.I tried to speak, but all that came out was a sob. "Bailey... tell me... am I cursed? Why do these terrible things keep happening to me? Why do bad things happen to good people?"I couldn't hold back the tears any longer, even though my body felt weak and drained from the endless crying. I hadn't eaten all day."You are not cursed, Lyla. You're the sweetest soul on earth, and I’m so proud to have you as my sister. If you weren’t my sister, I’d probably be jealous," Bailey said, her voice full of sincerity."But why does disaster always seem to follow me?" I cried, wiping my eyes. "Everyone I love seems to hate me—Chad, Becky, Jace’s family... They all hate me."Even through my te

Lyla’s POV.When Jace walked in, Bailey quickly left the room, giving us space to talk. Though I was happy to see him, I wasn’t ready to go back with him—not after what had happened. His mother and aunt had thrown my things outside, and it could have been worse if someone had recorded it and posted it online.“I know what they did was terrible,” Jace began, his voice soft but firm. “But it’s you and me against the world. I promised I’d take care of you and protect you. Did I?”I didn’t want to admit it, but I couldn’t deny how much I wanted to believe him. Still, the anger and pain lingered.“I can’t stand the fact that your mother thinks I’m the bad influence,” I said, my voice cracking. “They’ll never accept me. Can’t you see that? No matter how hard I try to stay calm and prove I’m a good person, it doesn’t matter. All they care about is you marrying Sasha and building your political career.”“I don’t want any of that,” Jace replied quickly. “If I wanted to be a politician, I would

Lyla's POVThe news hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn’t prepared for this. I had walked into the hospital that day, thinking I was just going for a regular check-up, expecting the usual. But what the radiographer said next sent my heart racing—faster than I thought was possible. I wasn’t just expecting one baby; I was expecting two. Twins. It wasn’t just a surprise; it was a shock, a complete jolt to my system.I wasn’t sure if I was even ready for this. I had never been a mother before. How could I take care of two? I felt overwhelmed with the enormity of what I was about to face. Could I do it? Could I be a good mother? These questions ran through my mind in a steady stream, growing more and more frantic by the second."Sorry, can you check again? Are you sure? There has to be some mistake," I said, my voice barely concealing the panic rising inside me. The radiographer, a woman who looked seasoned and unbothered by my distress, glanced up, sensing the tension in my voice. Bailey,

Lyla’s POVI cried until I couldn’t produce any more tears. I felt empty, as if the grief had drained every bit of emotion from me. Jace had been rushed into surgery, and I had run right alongside the stretcher that carried him, desperate to stay close. But then we hit a point where they wouldn’t let me through.“I’m sorry, ma’am, you have to wait in the lobby. You can’t come in here,” the nurse told me with a stern look.Her words were like a knife to my chest. I couldn’t fathom the idea of sitting idly outside while the surgeons worked to save him. I wanted to be with him, to hold his hand, to somehow reassure him that I was still here, still fighting for him. But the nurse’s expression remained unmoving.“Please, I need to be with him. I need to hold his hand,” I begged through my sobs, my voice cracking with desperation. I could see the pity in her eyes, but she didn’t relent.“Ma’am, if you want your husband to have a chance, you need to let us do our job,” she said, her tone col

Bailey's POVThe notebook from the attic felt weighty in Bailey’s bag as she ascended the stairs to her little dorm room, each step resounding in the still hallway. Her thoughts raced quicker than her feet, gliding over Claire’s words repeatedly: "Always remember your true identity..." Immediately she entered her room, she locked the door, closed to the curtains, then placed her bag gently on the table while she rushed to the bathroom for a warm bath.While in the shower she allowed the warm water run slowly from her hair down to her feets, while still reminiscing on Claire's last words that kept ringing in her head."Never Forget Who You Are".She remained there for a little while before coming back to her room, dressed up and wrapped her hair in a towel, wore her vanilla scent body perfume and sat with her legs crossed on the bed. The room felt a bit lighter that evening as Bailey was now beginning to let go of the past she can't change and was now willing to embrace her new pres

Bailey's POV The Memory SequenceThe morning after Thanksgiving was unusually still.The type of calm that encouraged reflection, coffee on the patio, and a gradual unfolding of matters that had lingered too long below the surface. Bailey positioned herself with crossed legs on the carpet in Lyla’s bright, sunlit study, enveloped by a messy assortment of vintage family photo books, newspaper cutouts, and memory boxes. A hot cup of tea lingered unattended next to her. Lyla had told her to make herself at home. But home—real home—was what Bailey was trying to define again.She stumbled into one of the older albums, the edges going bad with time. There were pictures of Claire, their mother, and even one or two rare photos of their father. Bailey blinked, then leaned closer. One photo caught her eye: a blurry image of Lyla holding a much younger Bailey on a beach, both their faces lit by unrestrained laughter.She didn’t remember this day. Not a bit of it.But something about it stirre

Bailey's POV The guest bathroom was quiet, too quiet. Bailey stood over the sink, clutching her phone like it might burn her skin. Her thumb hovered over the number.“K.”No last name. No picture. No call history before now.She opened the contact.Nothing but a blank number. No clues. No metadata. Just one thing: the message had come from that number moments before the call was logged.Her heart thudded. She could hear laughter outside the door—her family, the new found peace. She didn’t want to disrupt that. Not again.But the name. "Protected Asset".Why her?There was a time when she believed everything Lyla told her. That they were simply survivors of a dangerous time. That they had gotten lucky. That the world was finally safe again. But the older Bailey got, the more her instincts sharpened—and they had been whispering for months now.There were gaps in her story.Memories that felt inserted. Emotions that didn’t align. And now this strange call that she didn’t make.Outside t

The Thanksgiving HourLyla's POV The scent of cinnamon and toasted rosemary drifted through the house like a calming melody, wrapping each room in a warmth that made time appear to stretch. The living room boomed with the soft hum of old jazz records playing on a speaker Lyla refused to replace. In the backyard, the kids laughed with joy, their laughter riding the swing set into the soft golden light of late afternoon.Inside the kitchen, Lyla stood over the mashed potatoes, her sleeves rolled up and her face dripping of sweat which she wiped off occasionally with her elbow.She stirred them methodically, humming along with the music while her apron—one Claire had gifted her years ago that read Master of the House—absorbs the chaos of cooking.“Hey!” Chad called from the stove at the other side of the kitchen. “Do sweet potatoes burn faster if you stare at them?”Lyla laughed. “Yes. The potatoes can sense fear.”Bailey entered with her hair up in a high ponytail and two pies balance

Bailey's POV The rain came down in a quiet drizzle as Bailey wandered the campus garden, the fog from her breath mingling with the early morning chill. Her textbooks were still in her bag, unread. Sleep had eluded her. Not from exams or stress.But because of that dream again.The same hallway. White tile. The same phrase clung into her memory like a scar.“She was never supposed to know.”She had not told anyone yet, not even Lyla. But last night, she had stayed late in the medical lab and submitted a sample for a DNA test—one she had been carrying around in her mind for months but never had the courage to confront.She will have the results by tonight.And a feeling deep in her chest told her nothing would be the same after that.Jace paced in the hidden room beneath the clinic. It had been two days since they found Becky’s twisted letter to Bailey, and still, the questions piled higher than answers.Lyla sat across him, surrounded by old files. A folder already damaged with water

Jace POV The next morning, the sun was already hot against the windows of Karev Medical & Wellness center. Jace had barely managed three hours of sleep.Lyla made him coffee while reviewing files. Neither spoke about the trapdoor, the lily, or the voice message just yet. Not until they had more information.The bell above the door chimed.Jace looked up—and froze.An elderly man in a tailored navy coat stepped inside. He walked with a slow, deliberate limp. Silver hair, sharp eyes. Something about him screamed military or something worse.The man held out a letter. “Dr. Jace Karev?”“Yes,” Jace said carefully.“I was told you’re the only one who can help.”Jace opened the letter.It was hand-written. “This man should be dead. On record, he is. But he isn’t. Help him—and you’ll start to understand what they erased from your past.Don’t trust the files.From_A Friend.”Jace gasped. “Who gave you this?”The man looked around nervously. “She told me to come here. A woman with short dark

Bailey's POV The emergency lights flickered in the archive room, throwing Bailey and Callum into crimson shadows. The girl—A-11—stood eerily calm between the cabinets.Bailey’s breath hitched. She couldn’t look away.Same height. Same build. Same eyes.But there was something off about her… like a reflection bent by time and darkness.“You’re lying,” Bailey whispered. “I don’t have a sister.”“No,” the girl replied coolly, “you have an upgraded prototype.”A-11 stepped forward, lifting a finger and tapping the metal case with a smug smile. “Everything you need to know about me is in there. Right next to the pages that say you were supposed to be terminated before age five.”Bailey recoiled. “Terminated?”Callum moved protectively in front of her.The girl chuckled. “Relax. You’re useful now.”Gunshots echoed again in the distance.“They’re coming,” she added. “You have two minutes before this place gets turned into ash. Make a choice, Bailey. Come with me—or die like the others.”Bail
