POV(FREYA),

I woke up to the smell of pancakes hitting my nose very early in the morning, I slowly sat up and found Kai missing. He wasn't by my side Anymore, a slight giggle escaped my lips as I imagined him making breakfast for me. He has never done it but maybe I suddenly got high hopes this morning since I thought he was making breakfast.

I hurried out of bed and rushed downstairs in my pyjamas. I was shocked when I saw numerous foods displayed on the dinning table and I found myself wondering if Kai really prepared all these.

I followed the smell of the pancakes to the kitchen and Bianca was holding up my kitchen spoon, flipping pancakes in my pot. With my ingredients?

Without thinking twice or considering anyone's feelings. I yelled, "get the f**k out of my kitchen!"

The hot pancakes landed on the frying pan handle and the pan flipped and fell on her leg, it burned her and she yelped in pain. I hurried to her and immediately held up the pan.

Kai rushed into the kitchen and I immediately dropped the pan since it looked like I burned her with it. He gave me a stare that I couldn't read and I hoped he didn't think I intentionally hurt her.

Without asking questions or asking me how it happened, he lifted her up and carried her to the living room.

I tailed behind and watched as he cleaned her burn wounds and sealed it up.

"What did you do that for?" Kai asked, glaring at me and I knew he would misinterpret the situation.

"It's not what you think Kai, I didn't hurt her. Tell him what happened Bianca..." My voice trailed off watching Bianca in disbelief as she cuddled up in Kai's arms and made an uncomfortable look.

"I told you to wait till the results but you had to go ahead and hurt her? Is that how much you hate her?" Kai shot at me and I wanted to yell at him but I knew how that would turn out.

"There's no use in talking to you..." I hissed and hurried upstairs in anger. This felt like a dream and I wished it would all end after the DNA results. Bianca seemed too relaxing for someone who brought in another man's child, like she had a plan.

I felt hurt that Kai was pulling away too quick, it wasn't supposed to be this fast. I had pictured this same moment but in a more proper way.

We arrived at the hospital and they all went to get their blood drawn except me and I felt left out.

In as much as I felt hurt, I had no one to confide in.

"It would take at least 3 business days before the results can be out." The doctor informed us and I felt too uneasy, I thought the results would be out immediately.

Bianca held onto Kai's hand and wouldn't let go, he looked too pleased holding her and I was jealous that he never gave me a chance to hold him like that in public.

"Let me help you with the bag," Bianca feigned concern reaching for my bag and I glared at her.

"Like you can lift your own bag," I shot at her and Kai shot me a bad look.

"Let's go," Kai said and I rolled my eyes. "Ouch ouch!" Bianca winced in pain and made her leg look like she couldn't walk.

"I can't move my legs, help me stand up."

"You can't walk like this, Freya could you please hold Liam for a while?" Kai asked handing me the toddler that looked like he fell from hell(he's very cute)

I hesitated for a while but finally carried him, Kai lifted Bianca like a child and walked out of the hospital without looking at me.

I felt like my whole world had shattered that instant and I wanted to throw this damnn child into the trash can.

I joined them in the car and Kai had me sit in the passenger seat while Bianca sat beside him at the front.

We maintained perfect silence till we got home and I stormed into my room the moment I got home.

I rushed into the bathroom and turned on the shower on my head, I wanted to cool off and relax.

I sat in the filled tub and cried my heart out, I thought I had built a family. But it turns out the family I dreamt of building would only exist in my dreams.

I heard a knock on the door and I immediately wiped my tears and turned the shower off.

Kai entered the bathroom before I could prepare myself. He stared at me and I immediately avoided his gaze.

"Are you okay?" That question made me want to hit him hard in his groin, like how the f**k does he expect me to be fine after all that happened?

"I'm fine, I just wanted to have a bath." I lied without looking at him even though I knew he was staring right at me.

"With your clothes on?" He said and I realized I was seating in the water filled tub in my dress.

"I jus-just I forgot," I lied and stepped out of the tub with my dress dripping with water.

"Is this about Bianca?" Kai asked and I bit my lips. He would never understand me, not in this life.

"You don't understand Kai, the point is..." My words were cut off when we heard Bianca scream so loud from downstairs.

Kai rushed out of the bathroom without looking at me, it was as if I was saying something meaningless.

I felt a sharp pain pulsated through my belly and I held the shower stand as aid so I wouldn't slip.

I stayed in the bathroom for one hour with the hope that Kai would return, but I was wrong. He never came back.

I had my bath and went directly to bed, hoping this would all end when I wake up in the morning.

  • CHASING HIS BARREN EX WIFE    Author's note

    Author’s Note / Reader AppreciationDear Reader,Well… we made it. Ten, Fifty, Hundred chapters (or more!) later, and here we are, at the very end of this journey. When I first put pen to paper...or fingers to keyboard...I never imagined the depth we’d reach, the tears we’d share, the laughter that would echo through these pages, or the late nights we’d spend living inside Freya, Eliza, Alan, Lucien, and the kids’ world.From the very first page to the last, you’ve been with us. You’ve cheered, gasped, laughed, and maybe even yelled at the characters when they did something maddening. You’ve held their hands during heartbreak, rejoiced with them in joy, and rooted for them when everything seemed impossible. And that… that makes this journey worth every word.I want to take a moment to thank you...not just for reading...but for staying. For believing in the chaos, the love, the messy family moments, the highs, the lows, the stolen kisses, the whispered promises, the mistakes, the growt

    10 Years Later SnapshotFREYA’S POVTen years. Ten chaotic, beautiful, loud, sometimes infuriating years, and somehow, I’m still laughing. Sionna, now a whirlwind of a ten-year-old, is zooming across the living room on a scooter while Viktor, our clever little fox in the making, tries to “teach” her manners. Alan is muttering something about insurance claims if she crashes into the TV again. I just laugh, because really… what is life without a little risk and noise?I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window and almost don’t recognize myself. Not the face...my face is mine...but the light in my eyes. The freedom. The weightlessness. I feel light. I feel full. I feel exactly where I’m supposed to be. And yes, my hair is messy, my socks don’t match, and there’s half a pancake stuck to my shirt from breakfast, but I wouldn’t trade it for all the calm mornings in the world.Alan is calling me from the kitchen: “Honey, help Viktor! He’s convincing Sionna that broccoli is a treasure m

    EpilogueFREYA’S POVThe morning sun spilled gold across the kitchen, bouncing off Sionna’s tiny laugh as she dumped a bowl of cereal on the floor in true toddler chaos style. I barely blinked. I’ve learned that life is too short to cry over cereal—or spilled juice, or sticky little fingers, or the fact that Alan somehow manages to tie Viktor’s shoes completely wrong every single time.Wait… Viktor. That little bundle of mischief, the child of my best friend-turned-family, Eliza, and the man who had once turned her world upside down, is growing so fast. I can hardly believe it. And yet, here he is, full of energy, already bossing Sionna around as if he’s been doing it his whole life. I smile. Chaos runs in the family, clearly.And yet… and yet, I couldn’t stop smiling.Because here I am. Really here. Every single thing I’ve ever wanted, every impossible, ridiculous, heart-stopping wish I ever made when I thought I was staring at forever and it ran away, it all came back. Not just back

    Bonus Chapter (+15)Eliza’s POVFour months.That was how long I had practically lived in Freya’s house.Not officially. No suitcases permanently unpacked. But my body knew the way her floors creaked, the way the kettle screamed before it boiled, the exact moment Alan would appear in the doorway when a baby cried like it personally offended him.Sionna was sprawled across my chest, warm and milk-scented and impossibly small. Her tiny fist was wrapped around my finger with the kind of grip that felt like ownership.“You’re getting spoiled,” I told her quietly. “Do you know that?”She blinked at me, unimpressed.Freya sat on the couch opposite me, her legs tucked beneath her, watching us with a smile that had softened over months of sleepless nights and new motherhood.“She likes you,” Freya said.“Of course she does,” I replied. “I am magnetic.”Alan snorted from the kitchen. “She likes anyone who doesn’t panic when she makes that face.”Sionna chose that exact moment to screw up her t

    Bonus Chapter (+14)Eliza’s POVHospitals always smelled like answers I wasn’t ready for.Too clean. Too bright. Too honest.Lucien’s hand never left mine as we sat in the small examination room, the paper on the bed crinkling every time I shifted. My head still felt light, like the world had tilted and forgotten to tilt back. He stood when the doctor walked in, instinctively protective, his body angling toward mine like a shield.The doctor smiled kindly, clipboard tucked under her arm. She had the calm voice of someone who delivered news every day, good and bad, learned to make both sound survivable.“So,” she said, glancing at her notes, “you experienced dizziness and a collapse.”“Yes,” Lucien answered before I could. “She scared me half to death.”I squeezed his hand. “I’m fine,” I muttered.The doctor hummed thoughtfully. “Have you been under a lot of stress lately?”I laughed, sharp and humorless. “Is breathing stressful?”Lucien winced.The doctor smiled faintly. “Fair enough.

    Bonus Chapter (+13)Eliza’s POVThe unease followed me home like a second skin.It clung to me as Lucien drove, as the city lights blurred past the window, as his fingers brushed my knee every now and then, grounding and warm and so painfully familiar. I kept expecting him to ask if I was okay, but he didn’t. Not because he didn’t care, but because he’d learned something important recently.Sometimes love wasn’t asking questions.Sometimes it was letting silence breathe.I watched the world pass and tried to name what I felt. It wasn’t pain. Not exactly. It wasn’t fear either, though fear hovered close. It was a heaviness behind my ribs, like my body was carrying a secret it hadn’t yet learned how to say out loud.“You’re quiet,” he said gently.I smiled. “I’m thinking.”“That usually means you’re either planning something dangerous or feeling too much.”“Both,” I teased weakly.He chuckled, squeezing my knee. “Close your eyes when we get home.”I turned to him immediately. “Why?”“Be
