Semua Bab Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy : Bab 1 - Bab 10

I entered the room with a fake smile, even though everything within me was trembling with fear at the possibility of this baby being my husband’s own.Becky sat up immediately, when she saw me. She gave me her usual smile, which I returned with a fake smile.“Have you told Chad about the baby?” She asked. “No, he is in a business meeting,” I said as I gave her the baby.She gave me a tight smile. “I understand. He is a billionaire. He is always busy,” she replied.I nodded. An awkward moment existed between us before I finally decided to break the silence.“You never told me you registered your name with Mrs. Karma?” I asked calmly.She swallowed hard. I watched her expression for a while before I added, “I never knew you had suddenly become Mrs karma”. She stared at me for a while. “Well, Chad said I could use his name to avoid gossip. I didn’t think you would have a problem with that,” she said and swallowed hard.I nodded with a raised eyebrow. “I see”. Few minutes later my husb

Lyla pov.Jace karev had been my rival right from Harvard days. He always wanted to be ahead of me. I think a part of him hated that I was the best in the Accounting department, considering the fact that he was the best graduating student in the medical department.History has it that he genuinely loved medicine. In fact, he was the best cardiologist student, but his father sent him back to school to study accounting.Given our history, I was meant to be quiet and let him do the talking, but curiosity took over me. “Aren’t you meant to be in jail?” I asked.The Karev Company has been the best ceramic and steel company for the past hundred years.When my husband said he wanted to go into the same niche, his friends advised him to go against it.The Karev’s owned the entire steel and ceramic niche, but with my aid and guide, he managed to become the best, superseding their own company.A bitter chuckle escaped his lips. “I had always known that you were not as smart as they thought you

Lyla’s POV. The slap was hard on Jace’s face but he didn't flinch; he stood his ground and tightened his jawline to endure the pain. Jace’s family didn't seem to be pleased with his actions and when we got to the house, his fiancée Sasha, was pacing around the house alongside Jace’s mother After we got out from the registry, it was a silent trip home because I wasn't in the mood for too many questions; the only thing I wanted to do was call my sister Bailey; I know she would be worried about me, and I don't know what she would be doing.Even though I tried to ignore it, my head was banging badly but I sat still like nothing was happening. I wondered what my life would be like; everyone now had a different narrative about me. I didn't even have the balls to check the comment section of my blog because I wasn't sure how my followers and other blogs would react to the news. I wasn't sure what to do when Jace’s father slapped him, but I knew better than to interfere. “Have you gone star

Lyla’s POVWhen Jace heard about Becky’s podcast, he rushed home as quickly as he could, wanting to beat his family to the house. Ever since our wedding, they’d been on my case. They threatened me, told me to leave their son, but I couldn’t. I knew what awaited me out there in the cold, indifferent world. When Jace finally arrived home that day, I tried to tell him everything that had happened at the hospital. I tried to defend myself, to tell him I was innocent, but Jace held my hands gently and told me to save my strength.“You don’t need to worry about this,” he said, his voice calm and steady. “I know the truth. I’m handling it. I’ve connected with a few people who will get that video off the internet. And trust me, I’ll make sure that TV station pays for what they did. Who do they think they’re fooling? They messed with the wrong person.”As Jace’s hand rested on my shoulder, my eyes inadvertently drifted to his wedding band. It was a 6mm platinum band, understated yet elegant. T

Lyla’s POVWe were back in the room. “I knew it,” I muttered under my breath. My fingers trembled when I held the staff ID from Scandal Central in my hand. “I knew she was up to no good the moment she flashed that fake smile. You should have let me teach her a lesson she would never forget.”Jace shot me a look, his jaw tight with anger. But his gaze softened a little as he exhaled deeply. “Not yet. I don’t want her to know that I saw the ID. I need to figure out what she’s really after. If we want to beat them at their game, we need to play it smart. Right now, I’m done playing the nice guy. I don’t care what the world thinks about me. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing until I expose Becky and Chad.”I stared at the ID one last time before letting it drop to the table. The realization was sinking in. Sia wasn’t just a friend here to help me. She was more tangled up in this mess than I’d ever imagined.Jace pulled me out of my thoughts when he handed me a photo. It was a funeral
