After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back Chapter 111
Isabella I didn’t answer him right away.I just looked at him.The quiet desperation in his eyes made something twist inside my chest, and I hated that it still had that effect on me. I hated that even now, after everything, I could still see the man I loved underneath the mistakes.My fingers tightened around the railing.“I need you to listen,” I said, my voice low but steady as I folded my arms across my chest to stop them from shaking.His jaw tightened, but he nodded.“When I lost the baby,” I continued, pressing my palm flat against my stomach without meaning to, “I didn’t just lose a child. I lost everything I had already planned in my head.”My throat burned, but I forced the words out.“I had names, Gabriel,” I said, letting out a brittle laugh as I shook my head. “I had a whole future mapped out. I knew what the nursery would look like. I knew how you’d pretend not to panic in the delivery room.”His face crumpled slightly, but I didn’t stop.“I was furious,” I admitted, li

Isabella The night air settled gently around us, cooler than I expected. I adjusted his jacket over my shoulders and leaned both hands against the railing, staring down at the quiet stretch of traffic below.Gabriel stood beside me, close but not touching. I could feel the awareness in him — not tension, just presence.After a moment, he glanced at me from the corner of his eye.“You don’t usually come to places like this,” he said, resting his forearms against the railing. His voice was calm, curious rather than accusatory.I kept my gaze on the skyline. “That’s not true.”A faint smile tugged at his mouth. “You prefer quieter rooms. Private restaurants. Corners.”I turned my head slightly to look at him. “This is quiet.”“Not like this,” he replied, gesturing subtly toward the glow below us. “This is… visible.”I exhaled softly.He wasn’t wrong.“I needed noise,” I said after a beat, tracing the cool metal of the railing with my fingertips. “Just not the kind that demands anything

IsabellaI let my fingers rest on the table instead of retreating. His hand was still there, close enough that the warmth of his skin felt deliberate, like an unspoken question.“You’re assuming too much,” I said quietly, though my voice lacked its usual sharpness. I tilted my head slightly, studying him the way I used to when I was deciding whether he was telling me the truth.Gabriel didn’t flinch under the scrutiny. If anything, he leaned into it. “Then tell me I’m wrong,” he said, his tone calm but steady, as if he was bracing for impact he wouldn’t run from.I inhaled slowly. The music swelled behind us, low and intimate, like the room was conspiring.For a few seconds, we just listened to the music. The saxophone melted into the low hum of conversations around us. Glass clinked softly. Laughter drifted from somewhere near the bar.“You didn’t answer me earlier,” I said, turning slightly in my seat so I was facing him more openly. “Why are you here?”He stared into his glass for

Isabella Daniel blinked once, clearly recalibrating. The easy confidence he’d been wearing slipped into something more polite.“I didn’t realize,” he said, offering me a small apologetic smile before stepping back. “Enjoy your evening.”Gabriel inclined his head in acknowledgment, not triumphant, not aggressive. Just steady.Daniel walked away.For a second, none of us moved.Then Mia let out a soft, amused breath and pushed her glass away. “Well,” she murmured, glancing between the two of us as she slid out of the booth, “that was dramatic in a very expensive way.”I shot her a warning look.She only smiled wider.“I’m going to the bar,” she added, smoothing down her blazer as she stood. “Try not to sign any emotional contracts while I’m gone.”“Mia,” I warned under my breath.But she was already stepping away, brushing past Gabriel with a look that was half teasing, half assessing.And then—It was just us.Gabriel didn’t sit immediately. He watched me first.Not boldly.Not hungri

IsabellaEvery corner carried something from what happened, about the weight of truths I didn’t know I was missing. I tried working. I tried reading. I tried pretending the air wasn’t thinner than usual.It didn’t work.Mia was at the dining table with her laptop open, one leg tucked beneath her, her glasses sliding slightly down her nose. She wasn’t typing. She was watching me pace.I stopped mid-step and pressed my fingers against the back of a chair.“I need to get out,” I said, not looking at her.She didn’t react immediately. She closed her laptop slowly, like she had been expecting this moment. “Out as in walk around the block,” she asked carefully, “or out as in you’re about to make a questionable decision?”I exhaled through my nose and ran a hand through my hair. “Out as in somewhere dim. Somewhere with background noise. Somewhere that doesn’t know my history.”Her brows lifted slightly. “You want a bar.”“Yes.”The word felt deliberate.She stood up, studying me with that qu

Isabella The apartment felt different after Elias left.Not quieter.Thinner.As if something that had been holding the walls up had just stepped out the door.I stayed standing for a while, staring at the space he’d occupied minutes ago. I could still see the tightness in his jaw. The way he kept swallowing his anger instead of letting it spill. The way he looked at me when I said yes.Yes, I still love him.Behind me, Mia moved slowly, gathering plates from the table. She wasn’t rushing. She wasn’t pretending nothing happened either. She was listening to the silence.When I finally sat down on the couch, my legs felt heavier than they should have.Mia joined me this time. Not across from me. Beside me.Close enough that our shoulders almost touched.For a while, neither of us spoke.Then she said quietly, “He didn’t sound like someone arguing about strategy.”I turned slightly. “What do you mean?”She looked at me carefully. “The way he was talking. That wasn’t about the Thornes. T
