Semua Bab Married To My Husband's Sworn Enemy : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Lyla’s POV“An illegal substance in my drink? That’s impossible,” Jace said, his voice a low, incredulous laugh. His usual confidence seemed rattled, though he tried to maintain composure. “We just rebranded that drink a few weeks ago. We even did the launch yesterday! How could something that just entered the market days ago test positive for anything? There’s been some sort of mistake, I’m sure of it.”The officer, a woman with short black hair and sharp eyes, stood her ground. “There’s no mistake, Mr. Jace. The lab results are clear. The drink tested positive for codeine and ethanol, both controlled substances. What’s worse, it’s widely consumed by underage children, which is illegal. We’ll have to take you in for questioning.”“No!” Mrs. Karev exploded. Her face was red with fury. “I won’t let you do this! Where’s your warrant?”“Here you go, ma’am,” the officer replied, handing over the arrest warrant. Mrs. Karev grabbed it quickly, scanning the document before glaring at Jace.T

Lyla’s POVI couldn’t calm Jace down. My own emotions were a whirlwind—shock and rage mixed together in a storm that left me speechless. The damage was unimaginable. Products worth millions had been ruined in an instant, and not a single thing could be saved. It felt like a nightmare, and in the midst of it, Jace was absolutely fuming. I didn’t know what to say to comfort him. Not now. Not when we were in the middle of a crisis. The only thing that mattered was finding out who was responsible for this sabotage.Jace shot up from his seat, his face twisted in anger. He grabbed the factory manager by the shirt, lifting him off the ground. The poor guy’s feet hung suspended in the air, his eyes wide with fear. I could see it in Jace’s face: if someone didn’t stop him soon, this could spiral into something worse.“Jace, please!” I couldn’t even finish my sentence before he turned and looked at me, his eyes wild with fury.“Who the hell sabotaged my product?” Jace’s voice thundered, his wo

Lyla’s POVThe way Jace stormed out of his office sent a chill down my spine. I had no idea what his next move would be. I’d seen him angry before, but this time was different. When he looked at me, his eyes were burning with rage, and I could feel the fury radiating off of him from where I stood. My legs felt like they had turned to stone. It was as if the blood had stopped flowing, and I was rooted in place, unable to move. I was shocked—confused—and I had no idea who was behind this, but I knew I had been framed.I finally mustered enough courage to push myself up and head outside. As soon as I stepped into the open air, I saw the workers huddled together, murmuring amongst themselves. The moment they saw me, they stopped talking, and an uncomfortable silence fell over the scene.Everything had come to a halt—production, the office staff, even the truck deliveries. It felt as though time had stopped. I tried to call a cab, but for some inexplicable reason, my phone kept failing to

Lyla’s POV.I felt like a shadow of myself, as if I no longer existed in this world, merely a hollow shell of what I once was. For days, I locked myself away in my room, refusing to step outside, and refused to eat anything. Mrs. Maddy and Bailey had become relentless, constantly begging me to eat, to drink something, anything. But I couldn’t hear them. My heart was shattered, ripped apart in an instant, and the weight of the pain crushed me. My world had fallen apart right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.I lay on the bare floor, the coldness of it seeping into my bones, my body heavy and weak. The only thing I managed to do was drink water, just to keep myself from passing out. That was all. Nothing else. I starved myself, trapped in a vicious cycle of hurt, convinced I didn’t deserve to nourish my body when everything inside me felt so broken.It was one of those days when I woke up on the cold floor, the agony in my head so intense that it felt as thoug

Chad’s POV“What has come over you!” I could feel my breath tightening in my throat as the words slipped out. My bank account was reading negative, and I was on the verge of drowning in debt, yet Becky didn’t seem to care about any of that. All she cared about was her lavish lifestyle, a lifestyle that was slowly driving me to the edge.“What do you mean?” Becky shot back, her expression one of defiance. “Do you really expect me to wear the same outfits I had on when I was pregnant with your child?” Her eyes widened, her words dripping with contempt. There wasn’t an ounce of remorse in her demeanor. She had no shame in flaunting the expensive designer clothes she was trying on, oblivious to the mess she was making of our lives.“Spending $200,000 to change your wardrobe is insane! You know I’m struggling with my business right now, and yet you're spending recklessly on things that don’t even matter! You're the reason I lost so much money on that deal!” My words came out harsh, filled
