DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK CHAPTER 197
Olivia's POV The restaurant buzzed with the soft hum of conversation, the clink of glasses, and the warm glow of pendant lights casting a cozy ambiance over the tables, but none of it could quell the storm of confusion roiling in my chest. My hands fidgeted with the edge of the napkin on my lap, my throat tightening as I sat across from Vivian, her familiar smile a faint comfort against the unease that had taken root since Ethan’s abrupt exit from my office. My jaw clenched, my breath shallow as I tried to focus on the moment, my chest heaving with the resolve to reconnect with my best friend, to find some clarity amidst the chaos. Vivian’s eyes sparkled as she sipped her wine, her presence a spark that warmed my chest, her laughter a steady flame that eased my tension, but my heart pounded with the question I couldn’t hold back.My hands steadied, as I leaned forward, my voice soft but laced with concern, my chest aching with the hope that she’d shed light on Ethan’s strange beh

Olivia's POV The living room glowed softly under the warm light of the lamps, their golden hues casting gentle shadows across the walls. My heart thudded, a restless pulse that mirrored the tension of recent days. My hands fidgeted with the fringe of a throw blanket draped across my lap, my throat tightening as I sat on the couch.My breath came shallow, my heart racing with the need to bridge the distance that still lingered between us, my chest heaving with the hope that we could move forward, my care for Austin a steady flame that flickered with doubt but burned brightly enough to keep me tethered to him.I glanced at Austin, standing in the kitchen, his silhouette framed by the dim light as he poured a glass of water, his movements deliberate but tense. My heart pounded, my throat burning with the question that had been gnawing at me since he’d mentioned confronting Ethan about the wedding stay. “Austin,” I said, my voice soft but laced with determination, my heart thudding w

Lucas's POV The diner’s fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting a harsh glow across the chipped vinyl booth where I sat, my heart pounding with a fragile hope that felt like it could shatter under the weight of my reality. My hands gripped the edge of the table, my knuckles whitening, my throat tightening with the rush of elation from Carla’s identification of Austin, a breakthrough that had ignited a spark in my chest, only to be tempered by the fear that it wasn’t enough. My chest heaved, my jaw clenching as I waited for Hargrove, my lawyer, to join me, my breath shallow, my heart racing with the anticipation of laying out my progress—Carla’s testimony, her finger pointing at Austin’s photo, a side and back view that could finally start unraveling the frame job that had stolen my freedom. Hargrove strode in, his weathered briefcase thudding onto the table, his gray eyes sharp but steady, his presence a spark that warmed my chest, his gruff professionalism a steady flame t

Ethan's POVThe hospital parking lot was a desolate stretch of asphalt, the late afternoon sun. My heart thudded, a relentless drum of exhaustion and frustration, my hands gripping the steering wheel of my borrowed car, my throat tightening with the bitter taste of defeat. I’d visited three of the five hospital staff on my list, each one a dead end, their identical stories—“I didn’t see anything”—ringing in my ears like a mocking refrain. My chest heaved, my jaw clenching as I leaned back, my breath shallow, my heart racing with the sinking fear that I was running out of leads, that I’d never clear my name. My chest aching with the desperation to find something, anything, to prove I wasn’t the murderer.I pulled out my phone, my hands trembling as I checked the time, my throat tightening with the realization that I was due to meet the fourth staff member, a nurse named Carla, in ten minutes. My heart thudded, my jaw grinding as I thought of the past three interviews—blank stares

Ethan's POVThe poolside was quiet, the soft ripple of water reflecting the moonlight, a deceptive calm that did little to soothe the storm raging in my chest. I sat on a lounge chair, the cold glass of whiskey in my hand a faint anchor against the turmoil that had v£ me since Tom’s revelation about Austin’s tampered CCTV footage. My heart thudded, a relentless drum that echoed my fear, my hands trembling as I swirled the amber liquid, my throat tightening with the weight of my mission—to get Olivia away from Austin, to protect her from a man I’d known since childhood but now suspected was a murderer. My chest heaved, my jaw clenching as I replayed the past days—Lucas’s desperate plea, the gaps in the footage, my own shock at the possibility that Austin, calm and soft-spoken, could be hiding such darkness.The sliding door opened, and Vivian stepped out, her presence a spark that warmed my chest, her eyes soft but searching, her voice gentle but insistent. My heart thudded, my thr

Olivia's POV The soft hum of my office was a fragile shield against the storm of emotions that had been swirling in my chest for weeks as I typed up reports, my heart thudding with a restless unease that refused to settle. My hands hovered over the keys, my throat tightening with the weight of recent days. My chest heaved, my jaw clenching as I tried to focus on work, my breath shallow, my heart racing with the effort to keep my life from unraveling, my care for Austin a steady flame that flickered with doubt but burned strong enough to keep me tethered to him. My office, with its neatly organized desk and framed photos of Vivian’s wedding plans, felt like a sanctuary, but my throat burned with the fear that it was only a temporary escape from the chaos outside.The door swung open with a quick rap, barely a knock, and Ethan strode in, his presence a spark that tightened my chest, his eyes sharp with an urgency that set my heart pounding. My hands froze, my throat tightening fur
