Kyla

I stare out the window of the hospital room, watching the skyline of New York blur against the glass. The clouds hang low, pregnant with rain, a storm threatening to fall but holding back. Much like me.

Two months.

Two months of my life gone.

The doctor told me this morning I had been in a coma for eight weeks. That I had been pulled from the edge of death, washed ashore like a forgotten memory. The fishermen who found me thought I was a corpse at first. My body had been battered, my lungs half-filled with water, my face swollen beyond recognition. No ID. No one looking for me. No one to claim me.

Not even Jake.

Not even Amina.

The nurses were kind at first. Pitying. Curious. They called me “miracle girl.” But now their curiosity has dulled. They’ve stopped asking questions because I haven’t answered any. I barely remember how I got here. The impact, the screeching tires, the way everything went black. My last clear memory was standing outside the bedroom door, hearing Jake’s voi

  • BILLIONAIRE'S DEAD WIFE RETURNS    Epilogue

    KylaIt’s funny how quickly time slips away. One moment, you are cradling a newborn, praying you won’t mess it all up and the next, you are standing in the school auditorium, waving proudly as that same little boy walks across the stage with his graduation cap tilted to one side.Liam spots me from the crowd and grins, missing tooth and all. Jake whistles loudly beside me, clapping until the people around us start laughing.“That’s our boy,” Jake says, voice thick with pride.I glance at him, his hair’s a little grayer at the temples now, but his eyes still shine the same way they did the night he proposed. That quiet steadiness. That unwavering love.“Yeah,” I whisper, squeezing his hand. “That’s our boy.”After the ceremony, the kids rush out with their friends, high on laughter and candy from the snack tables.Chanel, now in high school, walks over rolling her eyes. “Dad embarrassed us again.”Jake looks mock offended. “Hey, it’s a father’s duty to be loud at graduations!”Elias la

    Kyla.One Year LaterThe baby is crying again. Not the loud, frantic kind of crying that rattles the walls just a soft, restless wail, the kind that tells me he’s half asleep but doesn’t want to be alone.I smile before I even open my eyes.Jake groans beside me, his arm flopping across the bed. “Your son is calling for you.”I roll my eyes, sitting up. “Oh, so he is my son now?”Jake grins, eyes still closed. “At three in the morning, yes. He is definitely yours.”I swat his arm playfully, but I’m smiling as I pad barefoot across the room. The nursery is softly lit by the moonlight streaming through the curtains, the air smelling faintly of baby lotion and lavender.I lean over the crib, and there he is, our son, little Liam, his tiny fists flailing, his face scrunched up in complaint.“Hey,” I whisper, scooping him up into my arms. “I’m right here, sweetheart. Mommy’s here.”He quiets immediately, the warmth of his small body pressing against my chest. I rock him gently, humming the

    Kyla.A Few Months LaterIf someone had told me a year ago that I would be here, alive, married, at peace I would have laughed in disbelief.But as the morning sunlight filters through our bedroom window, warming the white sheets tangled around me, I know this is real. This quiet. This safety. This life.It’s been four months since the wedding. Four months of waking up next to Jake every morning, four months of laughter echoing through the house, four months of learning how to breathe again.I stretch, my hand instinctively going to my belly still small, but growing. A smile tugs at my lips. I can’t help it. The tiny heartbeat inside me feels like the universe whispering, you are getting another chance.Jake stirs beside me, his arm slipping around my waist. “You are smiling again,” he murmurs sleepily, his voice thick with morning warmth.“I have reasons to,” I whisper back.He opens one eye, grinning. “That’s good. Because you are kind of stuck with me for the rest of your life.”I

    KylaThe WeddingI never thought I would feel this kind of peace again.The air felt different that morning lighter, sweeter, like even the wind had decided to slow down for me. Sunlight poured through the curtains, soft and golden, wrapping around me as if the world itself wanted to whisper, you made it.Our wedding day.It wasn’t a grand event or some glittering ballroom affair like the ones I had once dreamed of when I was younger. No, this was small, intimate, perfect. Just family, close friends, and the people who had seen us through every storm.The ceremony was set in Jake’s mother’s backyard. She had spent days decorating it, fairy lights hanging between the trees, flowers arranged in soft whites and blush pinks, chairs lined neatly on the trimmed grass. It looked like something out of a dream.As I stood by the mirror, smoothing down the soft lace of my dress, I barely recognized the woman staring back at me.I looked, happy. Genuinely happy.My eyes didn’t carry the weight

    KylaThe next morning, I woke up to sunlight spilling through the curtains and the faint sound of Jake humming in the bathroom.I blinked sleepily, staring at the ring on my finger, still half convinced I was dreaming.I had said yes. We were married before, but he never really got a chance to propose before so this was new especially after being apart for over five years. We were getting to know each other again, I was not the same woman he was married to, I had kids now, my body had changed in so many different ways. After everything we had been through, the pain, the heartbreak, the years apart, I had said yes.When Jake came out, his towel slung around his neck, his hair damp, he gave me that same boyish grin that used to make my heart race years ago.“Morning, fiancée,” he teased.“Morning, soon to be husband,” I fired back, smiling as I sat up and stretched.He chuckled, leaning down to kiss me before saying, “Get dressed. We are going out today.”“Out?” I asked, suspicious. “

    KylaBy the time we got back home, my heart was still fluttering.The house was quiet, the kind of peaceful quiet that made everything feel safe. The kids were already asleep upstairs, the lights dimmed low in the hallway.I stood in the doorway of our bedroom, still in my dress, my heels dangling from one hand, my other hand resting lightly on the small velvet box in my purse. Every time I looked at the ring on my finger, it felt surreal.Jake walked in behind me, loosening his tie, and I turned to him with a teasing smile.“So, this is really happening,” I whispered.He chuckled softly, coming closer. “You are stuck with me now.”“Hmm.” I pretended to think about it. “I can live with that.”He leaned down and kissed me gently, then stepped back, his eyes holding that familiar glint, the one that meant he was up to something.“What are you hiding?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.He grinned. “You will see. Sit down.”I did as he said, sitting cross legged on the bed, watching him disapp
