Semua Bab Dear Wife, I Hate You: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Lilith's Pov One moment I was in the kitchen, rinsing a cup, lost in my thoughts.The next… I heard my name echo through the house.“Lilith!”That voice.That cold, commanding voice I had tried so hard to forget.Killian.I froze.Before I could even move, he was in front of me, grabbing my wrist tightly. I gasped.And then Nolan’s voice rang out, sharp and firm.“Let her go this minute, Killian. Let her go.”It was like my brain couldn’t keep up.Everything was moving too fast.I blinked, trying to understand how this was even happening.Killian turned slowly to face his brother.“Oh, so you’re here,” he said with a bitter chuckle. “So you lied to me.You told me you didn’t know where my wife was.”He let go of my wrist and took a step toward Nolan.“Why did you lie, Nolan?”But before Nolan could speak, I stepped in.“Don’t blame him,” I said, my voice shaking but strong.“I told him not to tell you. Because I didn’t want you to know.You’re suffocating me, Killian. You’re cruel.I

Killian’s Pov I don’t know what got into me.One minute, I was staring at her. The next, I was kissing her like I’d lose my damn mind if I didn’t.Her lips… God. They were so soft. Too soft. The kind of soft that makes a man forget how to think.Her body melted into mine like it belonged there. Like it always belonged.And the way her lips moved, the way she gasped against my mouth—I swear, it drove me crazy. Even now, back in my room, I can’t stop thinking about it.I wanted to take her right there. Make her feel everything I’ve been holding back. I wanted to touch her everywhere.Make her moan my name until she forgot her hate. Until I forgot my guilt.Kate.Shit.What the hell am I doing?I’m betraying Kate. I’m confusing Lilith. And I don’t even know what I want anymore.I cursed under my breath and stood up. I didn’t go to work today. I couldn’t focus if I tried.Maybe I just needed a walk. A breath of fresh air.But then I saw them.Lilith and Nolan.Laughing.Painting.Without

Lilith’s PovI was still catching my breath.What the hell just happened?I turned to Killian, my cheeks burning, my chest rising and falling with each breath. I gave him a small push—soft, but questioning. What did you just do?He just smirked and said, “You didn’t tell me to stop,” casually wiping his fingers with the serviette like he hadn’t just thrown my entire system into chaos.I didn’t even know what to say. My heart was still racing, my body betraying me. I stared down at my plate like it held answers. My appetite was long gone.I picked at the last few bites, then gently dropped my fork and adjusted my dress, trying to act like everything was fine—like I wasn’t completely flustered. “Thanks for the meal,” I said quietly.Killian raised an eyebrow. “Just for the meal?”I gave him a look. “I didn’t ask you to do what you did.”“Okay, fine,” he said, shrugging. “Next time, I’ll keep my fingers to myself.”I didn’t respond. My face already said enough. I could feel how red my ch

Nolan’s PovEverything's slipping.Slipping right through my hands.Lilith is slipping.I was pacing around my room like a madman, barefoot on cold marble floors, fists clenched at my sides. My heart was restless, and my thoughts—chaotic.I needed something to drown the ache. So I made my way to the bar room.I poured myself a glass of whiskey.Then another.Then another.Three shots in less than a minute.The burn in my throat didn’t match the fire in my chest.I couldn’t believe it—I actually followed them.Yeah, Lilith and Killian went on a date. And I… I was there.Hiding like some pathetic stalker in a corner booth. Watching.Watching her. Watching him.Trying to convince myself it was for her safety. That I was doing the right thing. That Killian couldn’t be trusted.But that wasn’t the full truth, was it?The truth was—I couldn’t bear the idea of them being together. I couldn’t stand the way Killian looked at her. Touched her.And he did touch her.In public.His hand slid arou

Lilith’s PovI stomped up the stairs, sulking like a grumpy child denied candy. My chest ached with irritation. I really, really wanted to go to that book club. Like, really badly. I had been looking forward to it, reading, talking about books, escaping for once. But no… Killian just had to pull the husband card.And for what? Because I was going with Nolan?Oh, please.So now he’s suddenly the overprotective husband? Acting like he has a problem with it, but instead of saying it straight, he’s playing power games. Ugh. I threw open my closet with unnecessary force, yanked out clothes, changed quickly, all the while asking myself: What am I even doing with Killian?All he ever does is command, insult, say hot-and-cold things that mess with my head. Nolan, at least, listens. Makes me feel seen. Comforted. Human.I dressed fast and headed back downstairs. Killian was sitting there on his phone, looking as detached as ever. Tapping and scrolling like he didn’t just ruin my morning.“I’m
