NADIA’S POV

The word hits, and everything inside me locks.

For a second, I don’t move. I just stare at Noah, waiting for it to make sense, waiting for it to undo itself if I stay still long enough.

It doesn’t.

My hand tightens around him before I realize it, pulling him back toward me. My chest feels tight, like I can’t get a full breath in, like something I buried a long time ago just forced its way back up.

“No,” I say quickly. “Don’t say that.”

My voice comes out sharper than I mean it to.

  • Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child   Chapter 7

    NADIA’S POVThe word hits, and everything inside me locks.For a second, I don’t move. I just stare at Noah, waiting for it to make sense, waiting for it to undo itself if I stay still long enough.It doesn’t.My hand tightens around him before I realize it, pulling him back toward me. My chest feels tight, like I can’t get a full breath in, like something I buried a long time ago just forced its way back up.“No,” I say quickly. “Don’t say that.”My voice comes out sharper than I mean it to.He looks up at me, confused, his small brows pulling together. “Mommy…”I soften immediately, brushing my hand over his sleeve. “Noah, don’t say that, okay?”He doesn’t understand. Of course he doesn’t. He isn’t trying to hurt anyone. He just said what felt natural to him.That makes it worse behind us, Colin hasn’t moved.I can feel it without turning, that stillness, that focus.It presses against my back like something I can’t ignore.I don’t want to turn, but I do anyway.“You need to leave.”

  • Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child   Chapter 6

    COLIN’S POVShe says no, and for a moment I almost let it stand, but it doesn’t sit right.I don’t know why it doesn’t, and that’s the problem. I don’t have anything to base it on, no memory, no explanation, just a feeling that something in front of me doesn’t match what she’s saying.So instead of arguing, I watch her.The way she stands isn’t casual. She keeps shifting, small adjustments that might look normal to anyone else, but they aren’t random. Every time I move, she moves too, keeping herself between me and him like she’s controlling how much I’m allowed to see.“You’re hiding him,” I say.“I’m not hiding anything.”“You are,” I reply, stepping slightly to the side.She moves immediately, blocking me again before I can see more than a glimpse.“I said I’m not.”“You moved.”“I would move no matter who it was.”“That’s not true.”Her jaw tightens. “You don’t know what’s true.”“No,” I admit, “I don’t. That’s the problem.”That throws her off for a second.“Then stop acting like

  • Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child   Chapter 5

    NADIA’S POVI froze the moment I turned and saw him standing there.For a second, nothing moved, not me, not him, not even the air between us, like everything had paused just long enough for it to settle in properly. Colin stood at the door, looking at us, but not really at me, his focus locked somewhere else.On him.My chest tightened instantly. My hand moved without thinking, pulling him closer to me, my body shifting just enough to place myself between them. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t controlled, it just happened, instinct taking over before I could think it through.“What are you doing here?”My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t soften it.He didn’t answer right away. His gaze didn’t move, like he was still trying to understand what he was seeing, like none of this fit into whatever version of reality he had been holding onto.I stepped forward slightly, enough to block his view properly this time.“You shouldn’t be here.”That got his attention.His eyes lif

  • Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child   Chapter 4

    COLIN’S POVI didn’t sleep.I went back to the hotel, changed, and sat on the edge of the bed staring at nothing. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her in the rain, standing there like I was someone she had already erased.“You lost me.”The words didn’t leave.I got up before morning.Max answered on the second ring. “You’re still in New York?”“Yes.”“You were supposed to come back.”“I’m not done here.”A pause. “You saw her. You talked to her. What else are you looking for?”“Everything she didn’t say.”“That’s not how this works.”“It is now.”“Colin, you don’t even remember her. You’re chasing something you don’t understand.”“I will.”Silence stretched between us.“Come back,” he said. “We’ll handle this properly.”“I’m already handling it.”“You’re making it worse.”“Then let me.”I ended the call before he could say anything else.Because if I stayed on the line, I might start listening, and I didn’t want to listen. Not when everything in me was telling me there was more.By

  • Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child   Chapter 3

    NADIA’S POVI shouldn’t have stayed.The moment I saw him standing there, I should have walked out and kept going. Instead, I stood in the rain with him like nothing had changed, like three years of silence could be explained in a few words.“You don’t remember anything?” I asked.Colin shook his head once. “No. Just what I’ve been told.”I let out a breath that didn’t feel steady. “Then there’s nothing to explain.”“That’s not true.”“It is.” I folded my arms, more to hold myself in place than anything else. “You already made your decisions. This doesn’t change that.”“I didn’t know—”“You didn’t ask.” My voice cut through his before he could finish. “You never asked anything, Colin. That’s the point.”He went quiet.Good, because I didn’t trust myself to keep talking if he didn’t.Rain soaked through my sleeves, my hair, everything, but I didn’t move. It was easier to stand there than to deal with what came after.“I saw footage,” he said after a moment.I frowned slightly. “What?”

  • Chasing His Divorced Wife And His Child   Chapter 2

    COLIN’S POVThe impact felt like everything breaking at once.One second I was checking my phone, confirming my flight, the next there was metal crushing, glass shattering, and my body being thrown forward. The airbag hit hard, something cracked in my chest, and then everything went dark.I woke up to machines and white walls.“Colin? Can you hear me?”A doctor stood over me, watching closely. I tried to speak but my throat burned, dry and raw.“Don’t try to talk yet. You’ve been in a serious accident. You’ve been unconscious for two weeks.”Two weeks.I tried to move but pain shot through my ribs and shoulder, forcing me back down. Everything felt wrong, heavy, like my body wasn’t fully mine.“You have multiple fractures and head trauma,” she said. “You’re lucky to be alive.”Lucky wasn’t the word I would use.“There’s someone here to see you. Max has been here every day.”Max stepped forward, looking tired in a way I had never seen before. He grabbed my hand like he needed to be sur
