Isabella

I don’t remember who moves first.

Only that suddenly we’re no longer standing in the nursery, frozen in the past.

Gabriel’s hand slides into mine.

Not urgent.

Not demanding.

Just steady.

“Let’s not stay in here,” he murmurs softly.

I nod.

This room carries too much grief. Too many ghosts.

He leads me down the hall, and every step feels like crossing an invisible line — from who we were these past months to who we might be again.

When we reach our bedroom, we both hesitate.

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Chapter 127

    Isabella The moment Lucas says they’ll “observe for now,” the air around us shifts in a way that makes the entire site feel smaller.Workers continue moving around the steel framework behind us, voices echoing through the open space as measurements are called out and equipment is moved across the gravel. From a distance, everything looks normal.But standing here with Lucas and Emily watching me like I’m part of their inspection, it’s impossible not to feel the tension beneath their polite smiles.Elias stands beside me, silent but alert, clearly aware that this visit isn’t as casual as Lucas is pretending it to be.Lucas takes a slow look around the construction site, his hands tucked neatly into the pockets of his coat.“Impressive progress,” he says after a moment, nodding toward the rising structure of steel beams and scaffolding. “It’s moving faster than I expected.”“The contractors are ahead of schedule,” I reply calmly. “The foundation work finished earlier than projected.”E

    Isabella Elias doesn’t move right away.His gaze stays fixed ahead of us, staring through the windshield as if he’s trying to process something far away instead of the words I just dropped between us.I almost wish he would get angry.Raise his voice. Argue with me. Say something sharp enough to cut through the guilt slowly building in my chest.My fingers tighten around the strap of my bag resting on my lap.The calmness in his voice somehow makes everything worse.“I didn’t plan for it to happen like this,” I say softly, my voice barely above a whisper. “When I came back… when I started everything with the company, the revenge… I thought I had already buried everything.”Elias tilts his head slightly, glancing at me.“But you didn’t.”It isn’t a question.I shake my head slowly.“No.”The honesty feels strange coming out of my mouth, but at the same time… it feels like something I should have admitted a long time ago.“When I saw him again,” I continue carefully, “I thought all the

    Isabella I hear the car before I see it.The sound of an engine stopping outside the gate makes me glance toward the window instinctively. My stomach tightens almost immediately.“He’s here,” Mia says from the kitchen.Of course she noticed too.I take a small breath, grabbing my bag from the table as I try to steady myself.It’s just Elias.Why am I suddenly this nervous?Before I can answer my own question, the doorbell rings.Mia is already halfway to the door.“I’ll get it,” she says casually, though the quick look she throws at me tells me she’s very aware of the situation.I follow a few seconds behind.When Mia opens the door, Elias is standing outside, dressed neatly for work as always.He looks… the same.Calm. Composed. Polite.But there’s something in his eyes that feels heavier today.Mia smiles immediately.“Good morning!”“Good morning,” Elias replies warmly.Then Mia claps her hands once.“Oh! Before I forget—happy birthday!”Elias chuckles softly, a little surprised.

    Isabella Monday mornings are usually a struggle.But today, I wake up before my alarm even rings.For a moment, I lie there staring at the ceiling, confused by the unfamiliar burst of energy in my body. Normally I’d hit snooze at least three times before even considering getting up.Then the memory hits me.Gabriel.I groan quietly and pull the blanket over my face.“Fantastic,” I mumble.I’m standing in front of my closet at six in the morning.Just… staring at it.For some reason, none of my clothes look right today.I pull out a navy blouse and hold it against myself, turning slightly toward the mirror.“Hmm.”No.Too serious.I toss it onto the bed and reach for a cream-colored one instead.Maybe this one.A few seconds later, I’m standing in front of Mia’s bedroom door, knocking lightly.“Mia?”A groan answers from inside.“What is it? It’s six in the morning,” she mumbles.The door opens halfway, and Mia appears with messy hair and half-open eyes.“What?” she asks.I gesture at

    Gabriel The sound of her car fading down the driveway lingers longer than it should.I’m still standing exactly where she left me, leaning against the column near the entrance, watching the empty road beyond the gates.The estate feels strangely quiet now.Too quiet.I run a hand through my hair and let out a slow breath, shaking my head slightly.“Unbelievable,” I mutter under my breath.A few hours ago, the house felt suffocating with everything unsaid between us. Now it feels hollow without her.I push myself off the column and walk back inside, the doors closing softly behind me.Her coffee cup is still on the dining table.Half empty.I stop beside the chair she sat in earlier, staring at it for a moment longer than necessary.The faint scent of her perfume still lingers in the air.Dangerous.Very dangerous.I exhale slowly and drag a hand across my jaw.“Get a grip,” I tell myself quietly.But the memory of her flushed cheeks, the way she tried to pretend she wasn’t affected b

    Isabella The gates of the estate slowly open as my car approaches, the iron bars sliding apart with a quiet mechanical hum.For a brief moment, I hesitate.In the rearview mirror, the house still stands behind me—grand, sunlit, and impossibly calm. Somewhere inside, Gabriel is probably still leaning against the doorway the way he was when I left, watching the empty driveway like he expects me to turn back.My fingers tighten slightly around the steering wheel.“Focus, Isabella,” I murmur to myself.I ease my foot onto the accelerator and guide the car onto the long road that winds down from the estate. Trees arch overhead, their leaves flickering gold in the afternoon light. The breeze carries the scent of earth and sun-warmed grass through the cracked window.But none of it quiets the storm in my chest.All I can feel is the lingering warmth of his kiss.My lips still tingle where his touched them.I groan softly and press a hand to my forehead. “Unbelievable,” I mutter. “He does th
