Epilogue

FREYA’S POV

The 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

  • 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

  • CHASING HIS BARREN EX WIFE    Bonus Chapter (+15)

    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
