My heart pounded, a frantic drumbeat in my chest, my body pinned in Marcus’s bruising grip, his hand a vise around my arm as he dragged me toward the door, his threat a dark promise that chilled my blood.

My chest heaved, my voice a choked plea, my eyes locked on Austin, desperate for rescue, for safety, for the life we’d fought to reclaim.

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 164

    Olivia's POV The scent of waffles, pancake and coffee lingered as Austin and I sat at the counter, our plates piled with breakfast, the morning light softening the edges of the chaos we’d weathered. His forehead kiss, the playful chase after my contract prank, had sparked a fragile hope in my chest, a flicker of the love we were fighting to rebuild. My heart still raced from the night before—his promise to stay, his gentle care of my bruises, my signature on the contract to stay away from Lucas a vow that felt like a mistake, a chance to choose Austin, to let go of the past.I took a sip of coffee, my hands steady, my smile genuine as I met Austin’s eyes, his face relaxed, his laughter a quiet joy that warmed me. “Work’s been piling up,” I said, my voice casual, my hands gesturing, my heart settling into the normalcy of the moment. “Natayla’s been great, but I’m thinking of resuming next week, get back to the office, tackle those budgets. What about you? How’s the work?”He nodde

    Olivia's POV My hand clung to his, my fingers trembling, my tears streaming down my cheeks, a desperate plea to hold onto the man I’d hurt, the marriage I’d nearly destroyed. My chest heaved, my sobs breaking free, a raw, wrenching cry that tore from my throat as I collapsed against the counter, my voice a shattered confession, my heart laid bare. “I’m trying, Austin,” I said, my words choked, my eyes pleading, my body shaking with the weight of my effort, my guilt, my love. “Why can’t you see it? I’m trying so hard to choose you, to be what you need, but you’re not seeing it!”He stood there, his face a mask of pain, his eyes dark with the exhaustion of our battles, his hand slipping from mine, a gentle but final retreat that broke me further. My tears fell faster, my voice rising, raw with frustration, my hands gesturing wildly, my heart racing with the need to make him understand. “This wasn’t our plan, Austin,” I said, my words sharp, my chest aching with the truth we’d bot

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 162

    Olivia's POV My heart pounded, a frantic drumbeat of fear and adrenaline, my hands trembling as I saw the broken pieces of the vase. Ethan lay sprawled beneath Marcus’s limp body, his breath ragged, his face bloodied but alive, and relief flooded me, a wave that nearly buckled my knees. I rushed to him, my voice a choked gasp, my hands shaking as I grabbed his arm, pulling him free, my tears falling as I helped him to his feet. “Ethan, are you okay?” I said, my words rushed, my eyes searching his, my chest heaving with the weight of what I’d done, the violence that had saved him but left me reeling.Ethan nodded, his hand gripping my shoulder, his voice hoarse but steady. “I’m fine, Liv,” he said, his eyes warm with gratitude, his breath uneven. “You saved my ass. Thank you.” But my relief was short-lived, my mind spiraling, my hands fidgeting as I glanced at Marcus, motionless on the floor, blood pooling beneath his head, his chest still.My voice trembled as I turned to

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 161

    Olivia's POV The hospital’s air clung to me as I walked away from both of them. My confrontation had left them silent. My breath was shallow, my hands trembling, my body weak from donating blood, my mind reeling from the reality that I’d saved Lucas only to be cast out, my love for him a burden I couldn’t carry anymore.My phone rang, shattering the haze, and I fumbled for it, my eyes blurring as Vivian’s name flashed on the screen, her familiar warmth a lifeline in the storm. I answered, my voice trembling, my tears falling as I leaned against my car, my heart racing with the need for her comfort. “Viv,” I said, my words choked, my chest heaving, my hands clenching the phone. “It’s… it’s a mess. I’m at the hospital. Lucas was shot, I got him here, but his mom and Amelia—they hate me, they think I’m trying to hurt him. I don’t know what to do.”Vivian’s voice was steady, concerned, the best friend who’d seen me through every crisis since college. “Oh, Liv, I’m so sorry,” she sai

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 160

    Olivia's POV The street was a blur of fading daylight and distant traffic, but my world had narrowed to Lucas Preston’s retreating figure, his back to me as he walked away.I was angry at him for reappearing, for stirring the love I’d fought to bury, for choosing his new family over the history we’d shared. Jealousy, bitter and raw, for Amelia, for the child they’d created, a bond I’d never given him, a life I’d never been part of. Fear, cold and gripping, that this was truly the end, that I’d lose him forever—not just to prison, not just to divorce, but to a life where I no longer mattered. My tears streamed, my chest heaving, my hands trembling as I stood by my car, the weight of his forehead kiss a lingering burn, a goodbye I hadn’t wanted but couldn’t escape.My mind spiraled, a desperate, aching thought piercing through the chaos: maybe if I’d given him a child, we’d have been together, no matter what. A child might have anchored us, forced us to fight for what we had, to cl
