DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK CHAPTER 240
Lucas’s POVThe drive home from the hospital lot felt like a retreat from a battlefield, the acrid scent of smoke from the car explosion still lingering in my nose as I gripped the steering wheel, my pulse steadying but my heart thudding with the weight of what had happened. My throat was raw, my eyes stinging as I glanced at Olivia beside me, her hands resting protectively on her swollen belly. My stomach churned, my heart aching with the fireball that had nearly taken us, echoing the terror of Austin’s bomb two years ago. My hands trembled slightly, my pulse quickening as I held her hand, her skin warm but her pulse racing under my fingers, her eyes glistening with the same fear that gripped me—the fear that Austin, somehow alive, was closing in on our family, on Lily, Noah, and Hope. My throat tightened, my eyes burning with the regret of letting her come to that lot, followed by the explosion that erased any evidence.I needed to ease her mind, to pull us out of this spiral of

Lucas’s POVThe air in the rundown lot near the hospital was thick with the smell of oil and dust, but it was Olivia’s trembling hand in mine that anchored me, her pulse racing under my fingers as I gripped her tightly, trying to keep her grounded. My heart thudded, heavy with dread, as I stood beside her, my throat raw from the tension of the past hours. My eyes stung, burning with the memory of her insistence to come here, to chase the black sedan, the car tied to the note that had chilled us: Guess your kids would have been smarter too.My stomach churned, my pulse quickening as I glanced at her, her swollen belly a fragile reminder of Hope, our unborn daughter, who’d already endured too much stress from Olivia’s hospital scare. I squeezed her hand, my hands trembling with the need to protect her, my eyes scanning the lot where Tom crouched by the car, his heart resolute but guarded as he searched for clues.I wasn’t sure what Tom was doing, his hands moving methodically over th

Olivia’s POVThe familiar warmth of our living room wrapped around me as I stepped through the front door, the tension from the hospital easing like a held breath finally released. My heart thudded softly, my pulse steadying as I set my bag down, the faint scent of Lily’s crayons and Noah’s baby powder grounding me. My throat eased, but my eyes stung, burning with the memory of the scarred face I’d seen in that car outside the hospital, the face I knew was Austin’s, no matter Vivian’s doubts. My stomach settled, my heart aching with guilt for bolting from the hospital, leaving Ethan and Vivian behind in my panic. Lucas stood in the kitchen, his cane against the counter, his eyes blazing with concern as he turned to me, his heart open with love. My throat tightened, my pulse quickening with the need to make things right.“Lucas, I’m sorry,” I said, my voice soft, my hands trembling as I crossed to him, my heart heavy with regret. “I shouldn’t have left the hospital like that, dem

Olivia’s POVI lay propped up on the bed, my swollen belly heavy with Hope, whose faint kicks reminded me of the scare that had landed me here. My heart thudded, a frantic drumbeat, as I stared at the TV screen, where Vivian had flipped on a cheerful rom-com, its laughter a cruel mockery of the fear clawing at my chest. My pulse raced, my hands trembling against the stiff sheets, my throat tight with the memory of the bouquet on our porch its lilies pristine and taunting, the note—To meeting you soon—seared into my mind like a brand. My stomach churned, my heart aching with the terror that had gripped me since that note, the fear that Austin, despite his confirmed death, was somehow back, watching us.Vivian sat beside me, her heart warm with effort as she shuffled a deck of cards, her eyes bright with a forced cheer. “Come on, Olivia,” she said, her voice light, her hands dealing cards onto the tray table. “One round of Go Fish, for old times’ sake.” My throat burned, my pulse
DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK CHAPTER 236
Lucas’s POVMy heart thudded, a dull ache in my chest, as I lay on the couch, my eyes gritty from a night of broken sleep. Carter, the ex-military security agent Tom had brought, stood by the window, his eyes sharp, his heart resolute as he scanned the yard. His presence was a steady anchor, but my stomach twisted, my eyes stinging with the reality that we needed him here, that danger was close. I shuffled to the kitchen, my pulse racing as I checked on Lily and Noah, who played with my mother, in the dining room, their laughter a fragile contrast to the tension gripping me. My heart thudded, my throat tight as I watched Lily stack blocks, her curls bouncing, Noah gurgling in his highchair. My eyes burned with the need to protect them, to keep this fragile peace intact. “Daddy!” Lily called, her voice bright, her heart innocent but sensing my unease. “When’s Mommy coming home?” My throat burned, my pulse faltering as I knelt beside her, my leg protesting, my hands trembling as

Lucas’s POVThe hospital’s sterile hum lingered in my ears as I left Vivian and Ethan at Olivia’s bedside, their presence a fragile anchor against the storm of fear that churned in my chest. My heart thudded, heavy with dread, as I gripped the steering wheel, the road blurring under a gray afternoon sky. My hands trembling on the wheel, my throat tight with the image of Olivia clutching her belly, her eyes wide with pain and terror, her voice breaking as she begged to go home. My eyes stung, burning with the memory of her panic over the bouquet, the cryptic note—To meeting you soon—that had sent her spiraling, her PTSD flaring like a raw scar from Austin’s bomb two years ago. My stomach twisted, my heart aching with the weight of her fear, the same fear that had gripped us when the reception hall exploded, nearly stealing her, Lily, Noah, and our unborn daughter.My throat burned, my pulse quickening as I fumbled for my phone, my hands shaking with the need to protect my family, to
