Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Appointment
The appointment had been in the calendar for two weeks. Nadia had booked it herself on a Tuesday morning during her free period, sitting in the empty staffroom with her phone angled away from the door, her voice quiet.She had not told Caiden.It wasn't deliberate. She just kept putting the conversation off. Ever since the morning she’d sat on the bathroom floor with the test in her hand, she had told herself she would find the right moment. But the right moment never arrived. He was travelling, or she wasn't ready, or the evening felt too balanced to disrupt with something this heavy.Still, she had put it on the shared household calendar. Leo managed it, which meant Caiden saw it. She had simply typed prenatal appointment, twelve-thirty, Caldenmere Central—she wasn't hiding it. She just couldn't say the words out loud.On the morning of the appointment, she came downstairs at six and found him in the kitchen. Usually he was in his running kit; today he was already dressed for the da
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Twenty-Eight: Possessive
The business dinner was on a Friday.Leo had sent the details on Tuesday: seven-thirty, a private room at Alden House, eight guests, corporate. By now, Nadia understood the format. She chose a charcoal dress—formal, understated, and completely functional. She came downstairs at seven to find Caiden already in the hallway, reviewing something on his phone.He looked up when she came down. His eyes moved over her in his brief, assessing way,a look that lasted less than a second and gave nothing away—before he pocketed the phone and moved toward the door.The car was quiet on the way there. She had long since stopped trying to fill the silence. It suited him, and eventually, it had become natural for her too.Alden House was an old private members' establishment in the older part of the city. The private dining room was on the first floor, panelled in dark wood, set for eight. The other guests were already present when they arrived: two men she recognized from a previous event, a propert

Caiden was in Singapore for three days.Leo had informed her on Monday morning with his usual clean efficiency. *Mr. Wolfe will be travelling Tuesday through Thursday, Mrs. Wolfe. The household schedule remains normal.*She had not required anything. She taught her classes, held her tutoring sessions with Cullen, marked papers, ate dinner with Cullen on Tuesday and alone on Wednesday, and finally finished the mock-exam planning she had been putting off. The house functioned exactly as it always did. She noticed Caiden's absence anyway.The gallery event on Wednesday evening had been in the diary for two weeks. A private foundation reception, the kind that Nadia had learned to navigate with the specific competence she had been developing since the first gala. Leo had checked in the previous Friday about whether she still intended to attend, given that Caiden would be travelling. She had said yes. She was Caiden's wife at these functions whether he was there or not, and Caiden's wife di
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Twenty-Six: Amara Again
The call came on a Thursday evening, just after seven.Nadia was in the small sitting room on the second floor, her legs tucked beneath her, a stack of Year Eleven practice essays balanced on the arm of the chair beside her tea. The house was quiet. Cullen was studying, and Caiden was in his study.Her phone lit up on the cushion beside her.*Amara.*Nadia picked up already suspecting this wasn't a social call."Hey," she said."Hey." Amara’s voice had that careful quality Nadia recognized immediately. It usually meant she wanted something. "Are you busy?""Marking," Nadia said. "What is it?"The pause told her exactly where this was going."I need a bit of help," Amara said. "It’s not much. I just need to cover something until the end of the month, and then I’ll be completely fine.""How much?""Three thousand."Nadia set her pen down on the essay she had been annotating. The student had made the same mistake three paragraphs in a row. Not carelessness. Just a misunderstanding they h
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Twenty-Five: Marcus
Marcus had been careful ever since the announcement in the staffroom. He hadn't been cold. He hadn't been overly warm, either. He had settled into a scrupulous neutrality that was far more comfortable than the alternative. Nadia had no desire to manage his feelings about her marriage; she had enough to manage already. For six weeks, the arrangement held. A polite good morning in the corridor. A brief conversation about the exam timetable. A nod across the staffroom. Nothing required either of them to address the day Caiden had walked into the room and said *my wife, Nadia*, with the flat certainty of a man stating an absolute fact. It was a Wednesday. She had a free period at eleven, her marking spread across a corner table in the staffroom while her tea went cold beside her laptop. The room was quiet. Two teachers stood at the far end, talking in low voices about an administrative matter she wasn't following. Marcus came in at eleven-twenty. He made a coffee, then sat at the tabl
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Twenty-Four: The Jacket
The temperature dropped overnight. By six-fifteen, every surface on the estate was edged with frost. The gravel on the driveway was frozen solid. Nadia looked out her bathroom window, thinking briefly that she should find her heavy coat before going downstairs. She didn't look for it. She had been awake since five-thirty, turning over a name she had seen on a board paper Caiden left on the kitchen counter three days ago. She hadn't meant to read it—she had put the paper back the moment she realized what it was—but the name stayed with her. By the time she showered and dressed, she was running behind. The coat was in the bottom drawer of the wardrobe. She left it there. She told herself the car and the school were both heated. The walk between them was less than a minute. She gathered her bag, her lesson folders, and the stack of marked Year Twelve papers, and went downstairs. The kitchen was empty. Caiden was usually at the counter making coffee by six, but he was already gone. Na

Caiden looked at her with the same cool patience he probably applied to difficult board meetings. "So," he murmured, his eyes locking onto hers. "What is your final answer, Miss Verne?""Still no," she said, making sure every word landed.He studied her for a long, quiet moment. There was no flash
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Four: Not What She Expected
Nadia stumbled back two steps before she managed to catch her balance.The car window was already gliding down smooth and silent. She froze on the pavement because, out of all the black Bentleys in the city, of course it had to be his.Caiden barely glanced her way before his attention shifted to C
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Three: Enemies Cross Paths
Nadia was up at six.Outside, it was still pitch black—the kind of freezing winter morning where just stepping out from under the duvet felt like a punishment. She stood by the window, wrapping both hands around a mug of warm water, watching the bare tree branches whip around in the wind. Christmas
Married to My Enemy's Son Chapter Seven: The Strange Ones
Nadia walked out of Caiden Wolfe's apartment with a single thought looping through her head.*Pay attention to your brother.*She had delivered the line with as much composure as she could manage and then shut the door behind her a little harder than necessary. The sound echoed down the corridor. N
