What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger novel Chapter 110

Viola stared at Ken in shock. When she met his eyes, they were perfectly clear—no trace of intoxication.

Ken flung her hand away, sending her stumbling. "Did you really think a little alcohol would be enough to get me drunk? You underestimate me."

He picked up her discarded clothes and threw them at her. "Have you no self-respect?"

The contempt in his eyes stung. "Am I really that repulsive to you, Ken?"

At the research base, scientists were granted monthly leave for rest. On one such day, Henry and Calista went to register their marriage.

Sitting in the car afterward, Calista felt her nerves jangling. She stared out the window, her heart racing.

Henry wrapped an arm around her. "Nervous?"

"No, just... it doesn't feel real yet."

He grinned. "Better believe it—you're my wife now!"

But later, reading Uncle Johnson's letter, her smile faded.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked quickly. "Is Uncle Johnson ill?"

Calista handed him the letter. "He's fine, but... Ken's discovered the base's location. He's coming here."

Though she no longer had feelings for Ken, she knew how stubborn he was. After eight years together, she feared his arrival would only bring chaos.
