Kendall's POV

Talulah yelped as she lurched forward. Her forehead slammed hard into the seat in front of her.

Before she could get a curse out, Kieran had already snatched his friend's phone. He stared fixedly at the screen.

I was grinning from ear to ear on the livestream. The breeze lifted strands of my hair, and I looked like a bird that had finally escaped its gilded cage.

Meanwhile, an ominous silence settled over the car.

"Whose name did she just call out?" Kieran forced out.

  • My Villain Husband Stole My Life   Chapter 11

    Kendall's POVKieran asked to meet me one more time after that incident. We met at the café we used to frequent. Unfortunately, things were no longer the same. "How can I earn your forgiveness, Kendall?" he asked.I pondered for a moment. "You dismantled my old team. Tell you what—why don't you transfer your company and all your assets to me as compensation first?" To my surprise, he agreed without the slightest hesitation. He immediately called Sam and had him draw up a contract. He transferred all his assets to me on the spot. I smiled. "You forced me to my knees, and you even let Talulah slap me across the face." He cautiously took my hand and slapped himself hard across the face twice. When I remained indifferent, he reached for the fruit knife on the table. I cocked my brow, watching him. "So you don't blame me for killing your child now?" Kieran frantically shook his head. "You're the most important person to me! If it makes you happy, I'll dig up their grave!"

  • My Villain Husband Stole My Life   Chapter 10

    Kendall's POVWhen Jasper and I emerged from the banquet hall, the roar of an engine suddenly echoed from the bottom of the stairs. I looked up and found Talulah behind the wheel of a white sports car. She floored the gas pedal and barreled straight toward me. Her face was flushed crimson behind the windshield. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked utterly deranged. "Kendall!" The piercing screech of tires grinding over the gaps between the steps filled the entire entrance portico. However, she abruptly screamed and slammed on the brakes. Kieran had rushed out and planted himself firmly in front of me. The tires locked and skidded half a yard before the car came to a halt inches from him. The car's front bumper was mere inches from his knees. "Kieran Steel, you fucking lunatic! I love you so damn much, yet you'd fucking die for that bitch!" she sobbed, crouching on the ground. Her sobs broke into ragged fragments, reverberating off the walls of the portico. Kieran's shirt

  • My Villain Husband Stole My Life   Chapter 9

    Kendall's POVJasper and I attended a banquet to officially announce that our two families had returned. Everyone gaped at me."Kendall? Where have you been in the last five years?""Jasper nearly drove himself insane searching for you. I thought you were dead..." Kieran burst into the ballroom then. Amid the sea of elegant gowns and bespoke suits, Kieran, the richest man in Echelon, looked utterly disheveled. His shirt was a crumpled mess, and fresh blood had begun seeping through the stain at his waist. He looked like he'd just crawled out of a pile of rubble. He wove through the sea of guests and came to a stop in front of me. The noise around us abruptly died down. The clinking of glasses, the hushed whispers, and even the background music seemed to have been toned down. All eyes were on him, focusing on his open palm. Dozens of wedding rings shimmered under the chandeliers. "I'm returning all of these to you, Kendall," he said.I lowered my gaze and took one look a

  • My Villain Husband Stole My Life   Chapter 8

    Third-Person POVTalulah's smile froze on her face. "What?" "Kendall's wedding rings. The ones you took from her bedroom," Kieran explained. "Give them back." The hospital room fell silent for a long, long time. The color gradually drained from her face, and her lips began to quiver.Talulah abruptly sat up. Her wrist scraped against the bedframe, turning the gauze a deeper shade of red. "What's the meaning of this, Kieran? I slit my wrists! I almost died, and the first thing you ask me when you walk through that door is about that woman's rings?" "Give them back," he repeated. She went rigid, as if she had just been slapped across the face. After a prolonged silence, she burst into heart-wrenching sobs, clutching the bedsheet so tightly that her knuckles turned white. "Have you ever loved me at all, Kieran? Even just a little? Am I always going to be inferior to her in your heart?"Drinking in her contorted, tear-streaked face, Kieran suddenly realized he felt nothing at

  • My Villain Husband Stole My Life   Chapter 7

    Third-Person POVKieran turned the entire city upside down to search for Kendall. There were no records of her leaving the country, no flight bookings, and no trace of her at any hotel, train station, or bus terminal. He even called in favors to check hospital emergency room admissions, wondering if she'd been injured and needed medical attention. Still, nothing turned up. It was as if Kendall had been erased from the face of the earth. The hacked home surveillance system had finally been restored. Kieran stood in the empty living room, staring at the last frozen frame on the screen. At the villa's front gate, a man in a black coat held open the car door for Kendall. She bent down and got inside, her profile illuminated clearly by the streetlight. The man's face remained hidden in the shadows, yet Kieran recognized his silhouette. His hands trembled faintly, and a chill seeped into his bones. Only a single thought remained in his mind. It was so over. He'd found her. Jas

  • My Villain Husband Stole My Life   Chapter 6

    Kendall's POVThe man outside wasn't Kieran. He was tall, standing against the light. I couldn't quite make out his features, but his cold presence reached me before his voice did.He lowered his head to look at me. Then, he reached out and brushed the loose strands of hair away from my face, tucking them behind my ear. Having not seen each other for five years, his first words were raspy beyond belief. "You've lost so much weight."He held a photograph. It was a shot of the tree outside my window, taken from the balcony during my livestream moments ago.That single photograph had been enough for him to find me. I grasped his wrist and finally smiled. "Let's go home."Jasper's palm was scorching hot as it enveloped my hand. As our car rounded the corner, I caught a glimpse of a silhouette sprinting after us in the rearview mirror. He pounded the door so violently that the glass rattled in its frame. After what felt like an eternity, the door was finally pulled open. However, t
