LUCAS’ POV

"I'm more than just your ex-wife, Lucas Preston," Olivia said, her voice steady and proud. "I'm the CEO of Nexus."

I froze, my mind struggling to process what she had just said.

CEO? Olivia? The woman I thought I knew so well? The same woman who used to dream about opening a cozy bakery someday? How in the world did she end up here—leading one of the most powerful companies in the city?

She tilted her head slightly, her sharp gaze slicing right through me. "Surprised, huh?" she asked, her tone laced with pride and something else—defiance. Maybe even a touch of satisfaction.

For a moment, I forgot where I was. The boardroom, the presentation, the curious stares of the other members—none of it mattered. All I could focus on was her, standing there like a completely different person from the woman I once knew.

She wasn’t just different—she was unrecognizable.

But before I could say anything, she took control. She straightened her blazer, looked me dead in the eye, and asked,

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 234

    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, t

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 234

    Olivia’s POVThe morning light spilled painting a soft glow over Aiden and Lily as they giggled on the rug, their toys scattered like tiny islands of joy. My heart thudded gently, a steady rhythm beneath the weight of my swollen belly, where Hope’s faint kicks stirred a warmth that battled the shadows of our past. The aroma of pancakes wafted from the kitchen, where Lucas flipped them with a playful grin, his cane propped against the counter, his voice teasing as he called, “Lily, save some for Aiden, or he’ll steal your stack!” My throat eased, my pulse steadying as I smiled, my eyes glistening with love for his warmth, his resilience despite the limp from his tibia fracture. Aiden laughed, his heart open with joy, tossing a toy car to Lily, who squealed with delight. My stomach settled, my heart swelling with gratitude, but a flicker of anxiety rippled through me, a PTSD-driven shadow that crept into quiet moments. My pulse raced, my throat burning as I moved to the front door

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

    Olivia’s POVThe soft glow of my laptop screen illuminated the nursery, casting shadows across the crib where Noah slept, his tiny breaths a quiet rhythm against the hum of the mobile above. My heart thudded gently, my pulse steady as I adjusted the camera, my hands trembling slightly from the weight of my swollen belly. My throat tightened, my eyes stinging as I connected the video call, Nataliya’s familiar face appearing, her smile warm but professional. “Olivia, you look radiant!” she said, her voice bright, her eyes glinting with enthusiasm. My stomach settled, my heart swelling with gratitude for her support, but a faint flicker of anxiety rippled through me, a shadow of the trauma that lingered from two years ago. My pulse quickened, my throat burning as I forced a smile, my eyes burning with the effort to stay present. “Thanks, Nataliya,” I said, my voice soft, my hands resting on my belly. “But I’m calling about work—I won’t be resuming physically until a few months aft

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 232

    Olivia’s POVThe hospital room was sterile and cold, the beeping of machines a relentless reminder of the fragility of life, but my heart pounded with a heavy mix of relief and anguish as I sat by Lucas’s bed. My pulse raced, my hands trembling as I stared at his bruised face, the bandages wrapping his leg, the IV lines snaking from his arm. My throat was tight, raw with the weight of his injuries—a tibia fracture, the doctor had said, along with mild cuts and bruises, but he wouldn’t be able to walk for months. My eyes stung, burning with tears I couldn’t hold back, torn between the agony of seeing him like this and the inability to look away. My stomach churned, my heart aching with the memory of the explosion, the smoke, the moment I’d thought I’d lost him. My hands shook as I gripped his, his fingers limp but warm, my throat burning with the promises he’d broken. “You promised you’d follow me immediately,” I whispered, my voice cracking, tears streaming down my cheeks. “Yo

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 231

    Olivia’s POVThe shattered glass crunched under my feet, the jagged edges of the broken window glinting like teeth in the dim light of the reception hall, and my heart pounded with a fear that clawed at my insides. My pulse raced, my hands trembling as I stood frozen, Lucas’s words echoing in my mind—less than five minutes until the bomb went off. My throat was tight, raw with the terror of his risky plan to jump through the window with Lily strapped to my chest. My eyes stung, burning with the image of the chaos behind us—screams, shoving, the crowd’s panic a suffocating wave that pressed against my skin. My stomach churned, my heart aching with the weight of Lily’s tiny body in my arms, her soft whimpers piercing my soul. I didn’t want to jump, the glass was too sharp, but the door was a bottleneck of desperate bodies, and time was slipping away. My pulse quickened, my throat burning with the desperate need to act, to keep my her safe, to trust Lucas’s plan despite the fear

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 230

    Lucas’s POVI held Olivia close, her ring glinting on her finger, a symbol of the faith I barely clung to myself. My pulse raced, my hands trembling as I felt her warmth, her kiss still lingering on my lips, my throat tight with the desperate wish that we’d survive this nightmare. My eyes stung, burning with the thought of an afterlife where I could be with her forever, a fleeting comfort against the terror of Austin’s threat. My stomach churned, my heart aching as I glanced at him.My throat burned, my pulse quickening with the urge to wipe that smug look off his face, but I held back, my heart thudding with the need to focus, to find a way out before the accomplice outside triggered the bomb.My phone buzzed, a sharp vibration that jolted my pulse, my hands shaking as I pulled it out, my eyes scanning the text from Tom, my private investigator.
