Married to my enemy Chapter 15.
Elara's POV.One week later.The performance came together faster than I expected.My aunt made one phone call, then another, and within a week I was standing backstage at Conservatory Hall, my fingers trembling as I adjusted the strap of my dress and tried to remember how to breathe."You'll be fine," my aunt said, resting a steady hand on my shoulder. Her voice carried the kind of certainty that left no room for doubt."You've been playing since you were four years old, Elara. This is nothing more than another audience."I nodded.My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. I gripped the edge of the curtain as though it were the only thing keeping me upright while the announcer called my name and the lights dimmed.The stage stretched before me, vast and silent. At its center sat the grand piano, gleaming beneath the soft glow of the spotlights.I walked toward it on legs that felt like they belonged to someone else, someone who wasn't terrified of failing, someone w
Married to my enemy Chapter 14
Elara's POV.I was still clutching the scattered papers, still trying to process the fact that Julian had reappeared in my life like a ghost from a past I had thought was buried, when Lina came bounding down the hallway with the kind of chaotic energy that always seemed to follow her like a second shadow. Her eyes widened, and her mouth was already opening before she had fully registered what she was seeing."Oh my God," Lina gasped, her hand flying to her chest as she looked between me and Julian with an expression of pure, unfiltered delight, "is this him? Is this the famous husband I've heard so much about? I have to say, Elara, you didn't mention he was this…." she gestured vaguely at Julian's entire existence, “you know, this. I'm very impressed. Very, very impressed."I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment as Julian's lips twitched into an amused smile. I held up my hand to stop Lina before she could dig herself any deeper into the hole she was rapidly excavating. "Lina, t

Elara's POV.I followed my grandmother through the narrow hallway of her cottage, my hand still clasped in hers. I wondered what she could possibly have to show me that would make any of this better.She led me into the sitting room, and I stopped short in the doorway, my breath catching in my throat as I took in the familiar faces I hadn't seen in years, faces I had convinced myself I would never see again, faces that belonged to the people who had once been my entire world before I threw them away for a man who couldn't even be bothered to choose me.My cousin Lucy stepped forward first, a tall woman with sharp eyes and a confident posture that reminded me of the girl I used to be. She embraced me with a warmth that made my eyes sting with unshed tears."We've been watching you," she said, her voice low and steady. "We've been waiting for you to come back."I looked past her to see my aunt standing by the window, her arms crossed and her expression unreadable. But there was a sof

Adrian’s POV.“Elara, wait…” I begged, but she shoved past me.I stood in the hallway, my hand still raised from where I had reached for her, and the sound of her laughter echoed in my ears like a mocking reminder of how badly I had misjudged this moment. I had expected tears or anger, or even that cold, cutting silence she had been perfecting, but instead she had simply laughed and walked away. I found myself frozen in place as the door clicked shut behind her."Adrian." Sophia's voice cut through my daze, her hand closing around my arm with a possessiveness that made my skin crawl. I turned to look at her, my eyes cold and hard."You need to leave," I said, my voice flat mand final.I watched her face shift from confusion to disbelief, then to something that looked almost like rage."What are you talking about?" she demanded, her grip tightening on my arm.I shook her off hard enough to make her stumble back a step."Leave first thing tomorrow morning. If you're still here, you'l
Married to my enemy Chapter 11
Elara's POV.A bitter laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it, the sound cutting through the tension like a blade and drawing every eye in the room.Expressions ranging from confusion to disdain settled on their faces, as though I had committed the gravest sin by finding humor in the absurdity of the situation.I let the laugh linger for a moment longer than necessary before I finally turned away.I pushed past him, my shoulder brushing his as I rushed to my room."Elara, wait..."But I was already inside my bedroom with the door locked behind me, my back pressed against the wood as I slid down to the floor and buried my face in my hands, my heart pounding against my ribs.I wanted to scream and tell every single one of them to go to hell. But what was the point? Adrian was the reason I was being insulted in my own matrimonial home.In my past life, I would have begged, but not anymore. Adrian would still choose her, so what was the point?I let out a scoff as I pushed myself awa
Married to my enemy Chapter 10.
Elara's POV.I stood in front of the mirror, studying my reflection with cold calculation. Tonight, I would become the devoted wife again, the woman who could make his heart race and his thoughts scatter. I needed him drawn to me completely, irrevocably. And I intended to make sure of it.I chose a deep burgundy dress that clung to my curves like a second skin, the neckline plunging just enough to hint without revealing. I curled my hair so it cascaded over one shoulder, applied red lipstick with careful precision, and added a touch of perfume to my wrists and neck.The woman staring back at me was no longer the one who had worn gray for a decade. She was dangerous, beautiful, composed, and ready.By seven, I was descending the staircase, my heels clicking against the marble with each deliberate step. Adrian stood at the bottom, one hand gripping the banister, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my stomach tighten.He looked at me like a man watching a storm approach,

Adrian’s POV.The empty bottle sits on the dining table. Vitamin B, the label says. I found it in the dustbin.“What is this really?”My mother doesn't look up from her tea. She shifts in her chair, bracing herself. “Vitamins. I told you. For that wife of yours.”“She has a name,” I say quietly. “

Elara’s POV.Somewhere, a phone is ringing. No….. not ringing. Someone is shouting. A voice I know."Elara! Elara, answer me! Where are you? Pull over!” His breath is uneven, like he’s been running.Adrian! I have never heard him sound like that. Afraid and desperate. He sounds like a man who migh
