Falling For my Fiancé’s Enemy의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

SKYI woke up the next morning and I didn't bother searching for William knowing fully well he had gone for his training already.William never lingered when he had somewhere to be.My gaze drifted instead to the bedside table, and that was when I noticed it. My phone lay there, neatly placed, screen dark. Beside it sat my engagement ring. The sight of it tightened something in my chest and then the folded notes rested beneath both.I picked it up and read. “Hope you wake up on the right side of the bed. Breakfast is ready. I had to leave early for training.Below is my assistant’s number. Call him to take you home.”A smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.For someone so infuriating, he could be unexpectedly thoughtful. I shook my head, dismissing the warmth spreading through me, annoyed at myself for even allowing the thought. His real woman would probably enjoy him. The realization irritated me more than it should have.I pushed the thought away and headed for the bathroo

WILLIAMWatching her stand outside that hospital room felt like standing in front of a fire I was not allowed to step into.Sky stood there with her back straight and her chin lifted, but everything else about her betrayed her. Her fingers trembled at her sides. Her shoulders were stiff, pulled tight like she was holding herself together by force alone. Her eyes stayed fixed on that door, the one she was forbidden to open, the one separating her from a man who had hurt her and was now being protected from her.They treated her like a disease, I swear I felt like giving them all my pieces.I had stood there all this time. She got slapped and also got blamed. I stayed hidden, pressed against the wall near the corridor bend, far enough to be unseen but close enough to hear everything.The moment his mother’s hand cracked across her face, something inside me snapped.My fists curled so tight my knuckles burned. Every instinct screamed at me to cross the space between us and make it ver

“More drinks!” I barked, startling the bartender into dropping the next shot in front of me.My fingers trembled as I grabbed it, tipping the glass back in one long swallow. The alcohol burned, and for a second, I could almost forget.Ashley leaned close, shouting over the music. Her hands flailed wildly, pulling at my arms, her eyes bright with concern. I shoved her hands away and pressed them against my lips, shaking my head violently. “Don’t even try!” My voice cracked over the thumping bass, with frustration.She froze for a heartbeat, then reached again. I snatched the next shot before she could speak, the burn climbing my throat and straight into my chest. “I hate my life!” I roared, tears slipping freely down my cheeks, mixing with the sweat and glow of the club lights.Her hand hovered near mine, trembling, but I ignored it. I wasn’t ready to let her see me like this, weak and broken. My head spun as I reached for the bottle, pouring another shot without thinking, chasing th

SKYThe living room smelled like warm toast and something faintly sweet. Honey, maybe. I did not know, but I am pretty sure whatever was cooked was cooked by an amazing chef.I only knew my feet stopped moving the second my eyes landed on them, here I was hoping to talk with my fiancé, but no, he decided to show he is so stupid to be conversed with.There, I watched Camille stand close to Levi, her body angled toward him as if it belonged there. One knee rested against the couch, one hand steadying the bowl, the other guiding a spoon carefully to his mouth. Levi leaned forward obediently, lips parting, eyes relaxed. Like this was normal and I had not existed at all.Something was hurting curled inside my chest. My fingers twitched at my sides as I stood there watching her wipe the corner of his mouth with her thumb, gentle, patient, intimate in a way that did not need permission.Annoyance did not even begin to cover it. This was heavier. This was humiliation wrapped in disbelief.I

SKYI have been standing in front of my apartment building for hours now and can't go inside because of the amount of press hovering around it, more like waiting for me to show up so they can disgrace me.I was still wearing my nose mask. I couldn’t bring myself to step inside. For some reason, the place felt completely unfamiliar like it no longer belonged to me.I swear I can’t take this anymore. That creeping feeling that something is deeply wrong with everything… with this place… with me.Crazy how I have spent almost an entire week with William.I let out a long, tired sigh and turned to leave just as a car pulled up right in front of me.The window rolled down. It was him.I didn’t wait for William to say a word. I yanked the door open and practically collapsed into the passenger seat exhausted, frustrated, done.He always shows up at the exact moment I am falling apart.“I am done for the day,” he said casually, already pulling away from the curb. “Wanna hang out?
