Lucas’s POV

I stood at the airport, the buzz of travelers and rolling suitcases a dull roar in my ears, my stomach knotted with a dread I couldn’t shake.

Amelia was next to me, her perfume sharp and overpowering, her voice was a relentless drone as she prattled on about the honeymoon she’d orchestrated—some tropical getaway I’d never wanted.

My suitcase sat heavy in my hand, a physical reminder of the prison I’d locked myself into by marrying her.

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 181

    Olivia's POV The morning sun spilled through the tall windows of my office, bathing the room in a warm, golden glow that felt at odds with the restless churn in my chest. I settled into my chair, my heart thudding with a familiar mix of determination and unease, my hands trembling slightly as I reached for the stack of forwarded mail on my desk. The hum of the office was a comforting backdrop—phones ringing softly, the murmur of conversations, the clack of keyboards—but it couldn’t quiet the undercurrent of doubt that had lingered since Tuscany. My hands moved mechanically, my heart racing as I opened one email after another, my mind half-focused on work, half-lost in thoughts of Austin’s smile, his steady presence, the future we were building.One email stopped me cold, my heart lurching, my breath catching as I scanned the sender’s address—anonymous, no name, just a string of numbers and letters. My throat burned, my hands trembling as I opened it, my eyes narrowing at the word

    Lucas's POV The office was a suffocating cage, the dim light from the desk lamp casting jagged shadows across the walls, mirroring the chaos tearing through my mind. My heart pounded like a war drum, a relentless beat of panic and regret, my hands trembling as I gripped my phone, the blank screen a cruel taunt that I’d blocked and deleted Olivia’s number months ago, a desperate act to sever the tie that still knotted my chest. My throat burned, my eyes stinging with tears as I thought of her with Austin, blissfully unaware of his darkness—his role in Marcus’s death, the buried attempted murder charge, the chilling possibility that he did everything to get close to Olivia My chest ached, a deep, gnawing pain, my breath uneven as I racked my brain for her number, my fingers fumbling over the keypad, my heart racing with the urgent need to warn her.Hours dragged on, each minute a torment, my heart thudding, my hands shaking as I tried number after number, each digit a guess, a desp

    Lucas's POV My eyes stung with unshed tears, my chest aching with the thought of Olivia starting a family with Austin, a life I’d let slip away, a pain that cut deeper than I’d expected. The air was heavy with my confessions, my voice raw as I poured out my desperation, my thoughts of divorce, of escape, of clearing my name.A sharp buzz from my phone jolted me, my heart leaping, my breath catching, my hands fumbling as I grabbed it, the screen flashing my private investigator’s name—Tom. My throat tightened, my eyes darting to James, my voice low but urgent. “It’s Tom,” I said, my words rushed, my heart racing with a mix of hope and dread, my chest heaving with the possibility of answers. “I need to take this. Hang on.” James nodded, his eyes narrowing, his hands resting on his knees, his concern a quiet force that steadied me as I answered, my voice sharp. “Tom, you got something?”“I’m outside,” Tom said, his tone clipped, his urgency a spark that ignited my nerves. “Got n

The soft hum of the house was a cruel contrast to the storm in my head, my breath uneven, my hands clenching as I tried to steady myself.A knock at the door jolted me, my heart leaping, my body tensing, my hands instinctively reaching for nothing, my fear spiking with the memory of the life I’d barely escaped.

My heart raced, a mix of shock and relief flooding my chest, my tears spilling over as I crossed the room, my arms wrapping around him in a fierce hug, my voice breaking with emotion. “James, holy shit,” I said, my words rushed, my hands gripping his shoulders, my chest swelling with g

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 177

    Lucas's POV The living room was a sanctuary of soft light, the late afternoon sun beamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the plush couch where I sat, cradling Lily in my arms. Her tiny mouth worked the bottle of formula, her gurgles a delicate melody that soothed my frayed nerves, her wide, trusting eyes locking onto mine, stirring a love so fierce it made my chest ache, my throat tighten.My heart pounded, a steady rhythm of devotion, my fingers steady but shaking with the responsibility of fatherhood, the only thing that kept me grounded in the chaos of my life.

    Olivia's POV The hum of my office was a familiar comfort, the soft clack of my keyboard mingling with the faint buzz of phones and chatter beyond the glass walls. My heart was lighter than it had been in months, my chest swelling with a quiet pride as I sifted through client files, my fingers steady, my mind sharp despite the whirlwind of the past weeks.
