After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back Chapter 12
IsabellaTen minutes.That’s all he gave me.Ten minutes to brace myself.Ten minutes to make sense of a man who never made sense.Ten minutes before Gabriel Thorne walked through my door again, stepping back into a life he once walked out of without looking back.My heartbeat drummed against my ribs, uneven and frantic. Mia paced the living room like she was preparing for war.“Okay,” she said sharply, hands on her hips, “think, Isa. Think. What’s the plan? Should we leave? Should we hide? Should we pretend we’re not home? Should we move to another country?”I blinked at her. “Move?”“Yes! Because clearly, the man doesn’t understand the concept of boundaries!” She flung her arms up. “What does he even want? Why is he coming? Why is he acting like you two are suddenly… close?”The word close hit me like a slap.“We’re not,” I said quickly.Mia shot me a look that could slice steel. “You’re looking at your phone like it’s a love letter. You are not thinking clearly.”I sank onto the co

IsabellaMy fingers curled around the edge of the couch, grounding myself as my thoughts spiraled. The room felt smaller, too warm, too close—like Gabriel was suddenly everywhere, even when he wasn’t here.Mia watched me carefully, frustration simmering beneath her sharp gaze.“Isa,” she said slowly, like she was choosing every word with effort, “listen to me. A fruit basket and a handwritten note don’t erase everything he did to you.”I swallowed hard. “I know.”“Do you?” She crossed her arms tightly. “Because you’re looking at that basket like it’s a damn wedding ring.”“It’s not like that…” But even I didn’t believe myself.Mia scoffed. “Please. If this was anyone else—literally ANYONE—you’d have slammed the door in their face. But because it’s Gabriel—because it’s THAT man—you suddenly forget the years he ignored you? The nights he didn’t come home? The way he left you signing divorce papers ALONE?”Her voice cracked at the end—not with emotion, but with anger. With protectiveness

IsabellaI woke to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, the quiet broken only by the hum of the air conditioner. For a moment, I felt… alone. My body ached faintly, a reminder of yesterday, and I instinctively touched my stomach, feeling the gentle flutter of life inside me.The apartment was silent—no footsteps, no familiar presence. My chest tightened.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and rubbed my eyes. “Gabriel?” My voice was small, hesitant. No answer.Slowly, I made my way to the living room. That’s when I saw her—Mia. Arms crossed, brow furrowed, her eyes scanning the room like she was hunting for answers.“You’re awake,” she said, voice sharp, a mixture of surprise and exasperation. “Finally. I was starting to think I’d walk into a ghost.”“Mia?” I asked, blinking. Confused.“Yes, me. I’m here because… well, let’s just say Gabriel made a call this morning. Woke me up before sunrise, told me to come see you,” she said, her tone clipped, eyebrows rising

IsabellaThe car hummed along the dark streets, tires crunching over uneven pavement. Outside, the city lights flickered weakly against the night sky, painting shadows across my face. I rested my hand over my stomach, feeling the faint, steady rhythm of the life inside me, the tiny pulse that reminded me I wasn’t alone. Not entirely.Yet, for all the life within me, the world around me felt suffocating. Gabriel sat opposite, silent, hands folded neatly in his lap, eyes forward, posture immaculate, unreadable. He hadn’t spoken in over ten minutes, and the quiet was not comforting. It was loaded, expectant, like a taut wire straining against the weight of unspoken words.I wanted to hate him. I had every reason to. He had been absent for years, indifferent, cold, even after we married. He had signed the divorce papers like it was a mere formality, like I had never mattered beyond a name on a contract. He had never checked on me, never cared if I slept, if I ate, if I existed beyond the

IsabellaThe fluorescent lights above me buzzed faintly, a soft, steady hum that blended with the occasional beeping from nearby machines. The emergency room smelled like antiseptic and cold metal—sterile, sharp, too bright for the hour. I sat upright on the hospital bed, one hand resting over my abdomen, the other gripping the thin blanket draped over my legs.The pain had dulled into a low ache. Manageable. But the fear lingered in my chest like a stubborn echo.Across the room, Gabriel stood near the door with the tension of a man who didn’t know how to sit still. He was still in the same suit he wore earlier—navy, sharp, immaculate—except now the top button of his shirt was undone, and his tie hung slightly askew, as if he’d pulled at it without thinking. A small, almost invisible crack in his perfect armor.He wasn’t looking at me. He hadn’t for the last twenty minutes.He was pretending to read something on his phone, jaw tense, posture rigid, the entire room bending around the

Isabella The moment I stepped into the hospital lobby, the stark white lights felt like needles stabbing into my eyes. Everything was too bright, too cold, too loud. My heartbeat thudded heavily in my ears as I gripped Gabriel’s arm for balance—only because I had no choice, not because I wanted to.The nurse rushed toward us the second she noticed my posture, my breathing, my hand clutching my stomach.“Ma’am, are you in pain? How far along are you?”“Three months,” I managed, my voice thin.“Four,” Gabriel corrected immediately, standing behind me like a wall of ice.I shot him a glare. “Three.”His jaw tightened. “You told me something else.”“You’re not entitled to know anything,” I snapped back.The nurse blinked awkwardly between us, clearly unsure if she should intervene or call security.“Let’s get you into an exam room,” she said quickly. “We’ll check everything.”I nodded, breath trembling as another wave of discomfort pulsed beneath my ribs. She guided me into a wheelchair
