Olivia’s POV

The tires screeched against the pavement as I sped through the streets, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My heart pounded in my chest, a frantic rhythm that matched the chaos in my head. I had one focus—getting to Vivian before she made a decision she’d regret.

Beside me, Lucas shifted in his seat. "Olivia, slow down."

I ignored him, pressing my foot harder on the gas.

"Olivia," he said again, firmer this time. "I get that you're in a hurry, but this isn't helping. If we get into an accident, you won’t be able to help anyone."

His words hit me like a cold slap, making my fingers twitch on the steering wheel. He was right. I was being reckless. I exhaled shakily and eased my foot off the accelerator. The speedometer needle dropped, but my pulse didn't.

Lucas studied me for a moment, his voice softer now. "You know someone who's been in a car accident, don’t you?"

I kept my eyes on the road, the streetlights blurring past. "Yes," I adm

    Lucas's POV The hum of Tom’s cluttered office was a constant backdrop, the flickering glow of monitors casting shadows across the room as Ethan and I sat, the tension between us easing into something like camaraderie. My heart thudded, a steady rhythm that carried both relief and unease, my hands resting on my knees, my throat tightening with the weight of our shared purpose.My chest heaved, my jaw clenching as I glanced at Ethan, his eyes fixed on the small TV in the corner, a basketball game flickering across the screen, his casual posture a stark contrast to the storm of doubt and fear that churned in my chest. My heart raced, my breath shallow, my mind replaying our earlier conversation—my confession about Olivia, my regret, my love for her that I’d realized too late. My throat burning with the fear of losing olivia, my chest aching with the resolve to clear my name, to prove Austin’s guilt in Ryan’s father’s murder, a crime I’d been framed for.“Nice shot,” Ethan said, his

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 190

    Lucas's POV The air in the diner’s corner booth was thick with tension, the faint hum of the fluorescent lights above us doing little to drown out the weight of Ethan’s words.My heart thudded, a relentless drum in my chest, my hands clenching the edge of the table, my throat tightening as I faced him, his eyes sharp with skepticism, his posture rigid with distrust. My chest heaved, my jaw grinding as I processed his response to my plea for trust, my gratitude for his willingness to check Austin’s CCTV footage now tinged with the sting of his conditions. My heart raced, my breath shallow, my mind spiraling with the fear that this fragile alliance could crumble, that Austin’s shadow loomed larger than I’d anticipated, threatening to bury me under the accusations of Ryan’s father’s murder—a crime I didn’t commit.“Thanks, Ethan,” I said, my voice low but fervent, my eyes locking with his, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and apprehension. “I mean it—you believing me, even a l

    Olivia's POV The kitchen was a haven of warmth, the rich aroma of roasting rosemary and simmering tomato sauce curling through the air, wrapping me in a fleeting sense of calm as I stirred the pasta, my hands moving with deliberate precision, my heart pounding with a restless hope that tonight could bridge the chasm between Austin and me. Ethan’s question from earlier—“Do you truly love Austin? If he left you, would it shake you to your core?”—echoed relentlessly in my mind, a sharp blade slicing through my chest, my throat tightening with the weight of my own uncertainty, my jaw clenching as I fought to focus on the dinner I was crafting, a gesture meant to impress Austin, to pull him back from the icy distance that had grown between us over the past month. My heart raced, my breath shallow, my hands trembling as I chopped garlic, the sharp scent stinging my nose, my chest heaving with the effort to anchor myself in this moment. My love for Austin was a steady flame, flickering b

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 188

    Olivia's POV Amelia’s rage was a wildfire, her fists pounding my car’s hood, her voice a venomous scream that echoed in the quiet street, accusing me of lying, of hiding Lucas, of protecting him. My heart pounded, a fierce drum that vibrated through my chest, my hands trembling as I stood my ground, my throat tightening with a mix of anger and shock, my jaw clenching with the urge to shove her away, to end this chaos. My chest heaved, my breath shallow as I glared at her, her wild eyes and flailing hands a stark reminder of the toxic past I’d fought to escape—Lucas, his warnings about Austin, the accusations that had fractured my life. I didn’t mind the idea of a fight—my hands itched to push her out of my way, my chest burning with the frustration of her audacity—but it felt pointless, a waste of energy that would only deepen the chaos. My heart thudded, my throat tightening as I considered calling the police, my fingers hovering over my phone, my chest constricting with the sud

    Olivia's POV The wedding planner’s office was a sanctuary of elegance, its tall windows letting in streams of morning sunlight that danced across swatches of silk and lace on the polished table, but my heart pounded with a restless unease that no amount of bridal beauty could quell. I sat beside Vivian, her laughter a bright spark that warmed my chest, yet my throat tightened with the weight of the past week. My hands fidgeted with the edge of a fabric sample, my chest constricting with the love for Austin that anchored me. My heart raced, my jaw clenching as I tried to focus on Vivian’s wedding, her joy a stark contrast to the storm in my mind, my breath shallow as I thought of Austin’s curt goodbye, his claim that I was shielding Lucas.Vivian’s voice broke through, her tone playful, her eyes twinkling with excitement. “Liv, you’re a million miles away,” she teased, nudging my shoulder, her hands gesturing to a mood board of ivory roses and gold accents, her smile radiant. “Go

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 186

    Lucas's POV The safe house was a claustrophobic fortress, its wooden walls pressing in like the weight of my fears, the dim light casting shadows that danced like ghosts across the room. I sat on the sagging couch, Lily asleep in her crib, her tiny chest rising and falling, her soft breaths a fragile thread tethering me to sanity. My heart thudded, a relentless, pounding drum that echoed the terror and fury churning in my chest, my hands trembling as I clutched my phone, Ethan’s message—“Meet me. We need to talk”—searing into my mind like a warning shot. My throat burned, a raw, searing ache that made every breath a struggle, my eyes stinging with unshed tears as I replayed his call, his calm curiosity about what I had against Austin, his guarded tone a spark that ignited a wildfire of paranoia.
