Lahat ng Kabanata ng Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Lyla’s POV.No one can truly take away a mother’s love for her child. In the midst of my pain, tears fell from my eyes—not because of how I felt, but because, despite everything, I wasn’t thinking about myself. I was thinking about my unborn babies, hoping they were okay. The contractions had stopped, and I felt better, but everyone was still by my bedside—except for Sasha, who had gone on a shopping spree with Jace’s mom. I could see the worry in everyone’s eyes. I had drifted off for a bit while Mrs. Maddy took care of me, but when I opened my eyes, Jace was there, sitting by my side. His gaze was fixed on me, filled with concern.“How are you feeling, Mama?” he asked softly, planting a gentle kiss on my arm. His touch made me smile.“You all didn’t have to watch over me like I’m a toddler. I’m fine, I promise,” I reassured them, trying to ease their worry.“Well, you scared the hell out of all of us!” Collins blurted, his voice tense with frustration. “Why didn’t anyone tell me abo

Lyla’s POVJace’s mother didn’t break eye contact. Her gaze was cold and intense as she scrutinized me from head to toe. Thankfully, I was wearing an outfit that hid the shape of my tummy, concealing my baby bump.“I’ve just been resting and taking care of Jace,” I said quickly, trying to deflect. “I guess that’s why I’ve put on a little weight.” I forced a smile, but it faltered too quickly for me to recover.“That’s not what I asked, Lyla.” Her voice was sharper now, louder. “I asked, are you pregnant?”“Come on, Mum!” Jace’s voice cut through the tension as he stepped in front of me. He was clearly irritated. “Give her a break! If she’s pregnant, you’ll be the first to know.”“Good. She better not be,” Mrs. Karev snapped, her tone now cold and emotionless. “The only person allowed to carry your child is Sasha. So, this one here better not be pregnant.”I could feel my face flushing, the tension thick in the air. Just as the situation was becoming unbearable, a voice from behind int

Lyla’s POVJace stormed into the car, slamming the door with such force I thought it might come off its hinges. His anger was palpable, and I could see the fury burning in his eyes. He didn't speak a word to me, only turned to the driver and muttered, “Drive.” The car lurched forward, and I watched as Mrs. Karev and Sasha stood, their eyes locked on us. I could hear Mrs. Karev calling Jace’s name, but he didn’t respond. They wanted to speak to him, but he had already stormed out of the office, too furious to even acknowledge them.Even with the AC running, the heat inside the car felt suffocating. Jace hadn’t said anything, just silently removed his suit jacket, unbuttoned his shirt, and loosened his tie. The tension in the air was thick, but I didn’t dare interrupt. Finally, he spoke, his voice tight with frustration. “My mom is an intelligent, educated woman, but somehow, Sasha and her family have completely brainwashed her. I can’t understand why she’s letting Sasha handle this pr

Lyla’s POVNot this feeling again, the one I hated so much. The one that made me feel like I was going to pass out, like I was sinking and evaporating all at once. It overtook me, and I couldn’t help but groan, screaming out in fear. The words kept replaying in my mind, each one sharper than the last. "She overdosed. My sister." My heart stopped for a moment as my feet stumbled in the elevator. I was paralyzed by the news—the weight of it was too much to bear.I couldn’t control the tears that started flowing, and Jace kept asking me what had happened, but my lips were too shaky to form a coherent sentence.“What happened? What happened? What did she say to you?” Jace's voice was frantic as he held me, trying to make eye contact. But I was too broken to respond. He picked my phone up from the floor, where I had dropped it in shock. Mrs. Maddy was still on the line, panicking, telling him what had happened. The elevator doors opened just then, and we hurried out, racing to the car.“Go

Lyla’s POV“I’m eagerly anticipating our first night together, I can't wait to show you just how much you’ve been missing. I’ve transferred $2 million into your account as a gesture to spoil you and prove that I can offer so much more.I was reading the note when Jace opened the door and stood behind me. I quickly hid the paper inside my shorts before he could see who the parcel was from.“What is that? Who sent you a package?” Jace stretched his neck, trying to see what I was holding. Panic surged through me. How was I supposed to explain this? How could I tell him that it was from his cousin, Abel, and that the contents were completely inappropriate? I had to think fast, and my mind raced as I tried to come up with a believable lie.“It’s a package from a lingerie brand. They want me to work with them and sent me a sample,” I said quickly, hoping it would work.“Oh, I see. What do they want? Can I see it?” Jace asked, his curiosity clear.My heart skipped a beat. There was no way he
