Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy Chapter 100
Lyla’s POVI hadn't rested since the night I got the call from Bailey. It had been a sleepless night, one filled with anxiety, thoughts racing through my mind, and a lingering sense of dread. I had tried to focus on breathing, but it seemed like my chest was too tight to let any air in. Jace had driven me home, and the ride was silent, both of us consumed by our own thoughts. The car’s tires hummed against the road, but neither of us spoke a word. His phone kept beeping constantly, an endless stream of notifications, but he didn’t even glance at it. Every time he checked, his expression darkened before he ignored the call.By the time we got back to the mansion, it was already 6 a.m. The world outside was still quiet, and I half-expected to be able to slip into the house unnoticed. But the second we walked in, the tension was palpable. It was as if the mansion itself had been holding its breath, waiting for something to happen. Sasha was still awake. I could tell because she was sitti

Bailey’s POVThe air in the room was thick with dread, each breath feeling heavier than the last. My heart was pounding so loudly in my chest, I was sure he could hear it. The man in front of me, cold and unyielding, had a face carved from stone, his expression devoid of any sympathy. There was no way out, no way to undo the damage. And the worst part? The gun he was holding. Pointed directly at a pregnant woman. I could barely comprehend it, yet it was happening right before my eyes."Please, don’t hurt her," I begged, my voice shaking uncontrollably. "It was me. I took the phone. Please, let her go." Every word felt like it was being wrenched out of me, the fear overwhelming everything else. My mind was racing—there was no way I could forgive myself if anything happened to her.To my surprise, he turned his attention from the woman and looked at me, his eyes as cold as ice. He started to walk toward me, and I instinctively braced myself. I thought he was going to strike me, and I fl

Bailey's POVI was in what looked like an executive room, a far cry from the cramped, cold cell I had imagined being placed in after my capture. As I entered, all I could do was look around, taking in the luxurious surroundings. The room had soft, plush carpet underfoot and sleek, polished furniture. The bed was large, adorned with expensive-looking linens, and there was a desk in the corner, a vase of fresh flowers resting atop it. The whole space seemed more like a five-star hotel suite than a holding cell for a kidnapped victim. I couldn’t understand why I was being treated this way.I had stolen a phone—not even a high-end one, just an old model—yet here I was, being given the royal treatment. It didn’t add up. If anything, they should have been punishing me, maybe moving me to a smaller, more cramped room. Or worse, they could have whipped me or deprived me of food and water. That’s what kidnappers do, right? They break you, make you suffer, bend you to their will. But none of th

Bailey’s POVHe held my hand gently, and we walked into the event together. The closeness between us was palpable, and from the way he gripped my hand, I could feel the excitement coursing through his veins. His heart was racing—at least, that’s what I imagined. There was a soft, melodic tune playing in the background, a faint hum of music that wasn’t overpowering but just enough to fill the silence around us. The noise wasn’t intrusive; it was low enough that two people could hold a conversation without shouting.We moved through the crowd, passing by clusters of people, some chatting in groups, others simply standing and observing. The energy in the room was lively, yet there was a sense of order, like everyone knew their place in this grand social setting. We continued walking, gradually making our way to the center of the event. That’s when I saw him—a man who looked to be in his late 50s, with salt-and-pepper gray hair. Despite his age, there was a vitality to him; he stood with

Lyla's POVI raced toward the warehouse, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts. Every step felt like it was dragging me closer to some kind of answer, yet farther from the truth. When I arrived, my heart sank into the pit of my stomach. The warehouse was completely empty. Everything was gone. The production materials, the inventory—nothing. It was as if the place had been abandoned for months, not hours.I searched the area, hoping for some sign, some clue. And there he was. Jace was pacing back and forth, his eyes glazed with frustration, as though he was lost in a maze. He didn’t even look up when I approached."I came as soon as I heard," I said, trying to catch my breath. I’d sprinted most of the way from the car, and now I felt the weight of every step. The air was thick with tension, my pulse racing.Jace stopped pacing and turned to face me, his face pinched with stress. "We’re in a deeper mess than I thought. I know I’m going to find the person who did this, but we don’t have enough

Bailey’s POV I was hungry, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat. Instead, I just pushed my food around on the plate, looking lost—as if I were floating in space, somewhere far away. The chatter around me felt distant, and the voices of the people at the table seemed muffled. Rafael, however, didn’t even notice. He was too busy laughing loudly, talking about business with his uncle and a group of older men, while beautiful women sat beside them, laughing and playing along. The table was enormous, and there must have been over thirty people seated at it. It was a lively gathering for them, a sea of animated conversation about business ventures, properties, and upcoming trips. For me, though, it felt like I was stuck in another dimension, where nothing mattered except for the thoughts swirling in my head. I couldn’t stop thinking about my husband, about Bailey… the two of them. The seconds stretched on, and Rafael was so absorbed in his conversations that he barely glanced at me. It wasn

Lyla’s POV“Lyla, have you lost your mind completely? What has gotten into you? You want me to help you outsource guns?” Chad’s face twisted into a frown. He seemed genuinely shocked and confused.When I left the factory earlier, I had called him, wanting to meet and talk. He probably thought I was about to give him another chance, but that wasn’t why I needed him. No, I needed his help. I had to get my hands on the production materials without Collin knowing, and if I left it up to him, I knew his emotions would cloud his judgment. My sister’s life was on the line, and I wasn’t willing to risk it.“Look, Chad,” I said, trying to control the desperation creeping into my voice, “I know this is a lot to ask, but you’re the only person I can trust right now. I really need your help.”He stared at me, his expression filled with concern and confusion. “You’re pregnant, Lyla. And I understand you want to save your sister, who’s been kidnapped, but this is too much for you. I don’t think you

Bailey’s POVI ran as fast as my legs could carry me, my heart pounding in my chest. Fear surged through my veins, and every step felt like it could be my last. There was no looking back—I couldn’t afford to. My body was weak and exhausted, each breath a struggle, but I couldn’t stop. I dared not stop. Not until I was far enough away from them.I ran for what felt like miles, my legs giving out, but I forced myself to push forward. Eventually, I slowed, my breath ragged, as I came to a halt in the middle of a deserted road. I was surrounded by nothing but silence and darkness, the only sound my frantic breathing. The world seemed to stretch on forever, empty and abandoned. I had no phone, no means of communication, and I didn’t recognize a single landmark. It was as if I had entered a ghost town.“Oh God, help me. What have I done?” The words left my lips in a whisper, barely audible in the vast emptiness. My knees buckled, and I hunched over, resting my hands on them to steady myself

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.

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
