Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 58
Lyla's POV"You do not have to do all of this, Mrs. Maddy," I said, smiling as she tried to spoon-feed me. "I am not invalid. I’m fine!" The thoughtfulness in her actions was enough to make me feel loved, and I appreciated it more than she could know."They say spicy food is a pregnant woman’s best companion, which is why I made you this spicy chicken soup," she explained, continuing to feed me despite my protest. Each spoonful filled my stomach, but it also warmed my heart. She wasn’t just taking care of my physical needs—she was showing me love in the most nurturing way possible."Mrs. Maddy, you're going to make me grow fat and burst with the way you're feeding me lately," I chuckled, teasing her. But there was a hint of affection in my voice.The doctor came in to remove the IV drip from my hand and handed me some medications that would help me rest. I thanked him, but as soon as he left, Mrs. Maddy was back by my side. She had refused to leave me alone for a moment, hovering arou

Chad’s POV“What has come over you!” I could feel my breath tightening in my throat as the words slipped out. My bank account was reading negative, and I was on the verge of drowning in debt, yet Becky didn’t seem to care about any of that. All she cared about was her lavish lifestyle, a lifestyle that was slowly driving me to the edge.“What do you mean?” Becky shot back, her expression one of defiance. “Do you really expect me to wear the same outfits I had on when I was pregnant with your child?” Her eyes widened, her words dripping with contempt. There wasn’t an ounce of remorse in her demeanor. She had no shame in flaunting the expensive designer clothes she was trying on, oblivious to the mess she was making of our lives.“Spending $200,000 to change your wardrobe is insane! You know I’m struggling with my business right now, and yet you're spending recklessly on things that don’t even matter! You're the reason I lost so much money on that deal!” My words came out harsh, filled

Chad's POVI stared at the phone in my hand, the screen glaring back at me as if mocking my disbelief. For several moments, I couldn’t find the words to speak. All I could focus on was the image of Becky, dressed in the same outfit she had worn the day she left the house—something so trivial, yet the weight of it felt like a hammer against my chest.I remembered that day clearly. She had told me she was going to visit her sick aunt, that she’d be gone for a few hours. I’d stayed home with our daughter, taking care of her the entire day, trying to make the most of the time we had. Becky’s departure had seemed harmless, routine even. But then she turned off her phone, and the hours stretched longer and longer, like the slow unraveling of something I couldn’t yet comprehend.She returned home just before midnight, and when I confronted her, she had looked me in the eye and calmly explained that her aunt had taken a turn for the worse, a critical situation. I wanted to believe her—needed

Chad's POV.Becky’s eyes were burning with fury, and I could see it in her expression—she was beyond shocked. The words I had just spoken hit her like a ton of bricks, leaving her gasping for air. She hadn’t expected it, and I could tell it was tearing her apart.“How dare you! How dare you do this, Chad?” she screamed, her voice shaking with anger.“Oh, really?” I shot back, my tone sharp and bitter. “You’re going to raise your voice at me and act like you’re the innocent one?”She took a step forward, her fists clenched at her sides, but I stood my ground. “Aside from spending your money, what else did I do?” Her voice grew louder, each word dripping with disdain. “So you took my baby—or should I say our baby—to get a DNA test, just because I spent your money? What’s wrong with you, Chad? What has come over you?”I could barely keep my composure. I was beyond frustrated, my heart pounding in my chest. “You’ve got to be delusional if you think I did that for the money,” I said coldly

Chad's Pov As i sat on the bathroom floor, with my head resting against the cold tile wall trying to ease my head. The shower has long turned lukewarm but I couldn't bring myself to move out of the spot. My mind was filled with a mixture of betrayal,doubt and regret.Becky was still outside the bathroom door,her sobs barely audible.But I was confused,was she crying because she was actually innocent or because she was scared of being caught?I was already catching a cold as I sat there in the bathtub, confused and not knowing what else to do, I gradually ran a shaky hand through my wet hair. The image on my phone has constantly remained on my mind —a man, standing too close to Becky, with his hand resting just an inch above her lower back. That definitely wasn’t some casual business meeting. The intimacy in their sitting position told me otherwise.Then, there was the DNA test. The question that kept me awake with my mind sailing into a deep ocean.And what if the baby wasn’t mine?

Lyla’s POV.It was Bailey’s wedding day, a day that should’ve been full of joy, excitement, and celebration. Yet here I was, struggling to keep myself together, my emotions tangled in a mix of excitement and confusion. I should’ve been over the moon for her, but all I could feel was a wave of sadness threatening to consume me. Bailey was leaving—leaving to start a new chapter in her life, one where she would be with her husband. And me? I would be alone in the mansion. The place that had once felt like home now felt cold and empty. The reality of it all weighed heavily on my heart. I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. I wanted to run away, to escape, to bury myself in some kind of distraction that would make this day go by faster. But I couldn’t. I was bound to Jace by a contract—one I couldn’t break. It was a prison of sorts, a constant reminder that I was stuck in a life I hadn’t chosen. The thought of it alone made me sick to my stomach. I was carrying his children, my pregnancy

Lyla's Pov The ride to the hospital was the toughest I had ever experienced,it was filled with pain and panic.Jace held unto me tightly in the backseat of the car,his grip firm yet gentle. His expression hardly readable…laced with worry, fear or guilt? . That wasn't something I intended to cloud my thoughts with at the moment because the pangs of pain I felt overshadowed everything.But I was scared,I wasn't due to have my babies yet, “please God nothing should happen to my unborn children, I prayed silently in my heart”.The contractions became unbearable each time stronger then the last,my breathing was shallow, my body trembling as i held unto Jace's shirt simply because i needed something or someone to hold unto.Jace sensing how impatient I was to get to the hospital already whispered softly “We’re almost there,” his voice clouded with something unfamiliar.I wanted to scream at him telling him all this was his fault only he was more kinder and present at the time I needed him

Lyla’s POVThe hotel hall was a grand sight, meticulously decorated for the wedding reception. It was vast enough to accommodate twenty thousand people, each seat carefully arranged, glowing with the soft shimmer of chandeliers. Yet, amidst the beauty and celebration, a storm raged inside me. My contractions were growing more intense, their sharp waves hitting with an unrelenting force. The weight of what was happening felt impossible to ignore. My breath came in shallow bursts, my whole body trembling as the pain coursed through me.I had been supposed to stand beside Bailey, my sister, as her Maid of Honor, a position of pride I’d been honored to take on. But now, I was anything but that. All I could focus on was the pain, and the growing fear in my chest. My first pregnancy was never meant to be this difficult. And to make matters worse, I was carrying twins. I had been warned, of course, but nothing could have prepared me for this.Jace was there, though, his presence a strange co

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
