Lucas’s POV

I knew something was wrong the moment Amelia walked into my office, her eyes glinting with something far too smug for my liking.

She moved with a purpose, shutting the door behind her and sauntering over to my desk like she owned the place. That was Amelia—always trying to stake her claim, to remind everyone, including me, of her presence.

"Lucas," she purred, perching on the edge of my desk. "Have you seen the news?"

I barely glanced up from the contract I was reviewing. "No. Should I have?"

Her lips curled into a smile, but there was something calculated in it. "Oh, you definitely should."

She pulled out her phone, tapping a few times before turning the screen toward me.

And just like that, my morning turned to hell.

The video played in crisp quality—security footage from outside the building where Olivia and Amelia had fought. But it had been carefully edited. It started with Olivia shoving Amelia, then the slap, then the chaos that followed. The worst part? The audio w

  • 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

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 187

    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. My chest ached, a deep, gnawing pain that felt like it could crack my ribs, my tears threatening to spill as I thought of the trap this meeting might be, the possibility that Olivia had t

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 185

    Lucas's POVThe night was a suffocating cloak as I slipped out the back door, Lily cradled tightly in my arms, her tiny body a warm, fragile anchor against the storm raging in my chest. My heart thudded, a frantic, relentless drum, pounding with a fear so raw it felt like it might shatter my ribs, my hands trembling as I held her closer, her soft breaths a fleeting comfort against the chaos threatening to consume me. I scanned the shadows, my chest heaving with the paranoia that Amelia might be lurking, that Austin’s eyes were on me, that the police were seconds away from tearing my daughter from my grasp. The alley was a tunnel of darkness, the car’s silhouette a faint promise of escape, my heart pounding so fiercely I could feel it in my fingertips, my hands shaking as I secured Lily in her car seat, my throat burning with the weight of every decision that had led to this moment—marrying Amelia, letting Olivia go, trusting the wrong people. My eyes darted to the rearview mirror

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 184

    Lucas's POV The balcony was a refuge of silence, the cool night air brushing against my skin as I leaned against the railing, a glass of bourbon clutched in my hand, its amber glow catching the starlight above. My heart thudded, a heavy, relentless beat, my chest aching with the weight of the chaos that had consumed my life. My eyes stinging with unshed tears as I stared at the stars, their distant light a cruel mockery of the darkness closing in around me. My hands trembled, the liquor sloshing slightly, my heart racing with the fear that I was running out of time, that Austin was onto me, that the life I’d fought to protect for Lily was slipping through my fingers. The weight of my mistakes—marrying Amelia, letting Olivia go, trusting the wrong people—pressed against my chest, my tears threatening as I took a sip, the burn of the bourbon a faint echo of the fire in my soul.A sharp buzz from my phone jolted me, my heart leaping, my hands fumbling as I set the glass down, my ey

  • DEAR EX-HUSBAND, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ME BACK   CHAPTER 183

    Olivia's POV The café’s warmth lingered in my chest as I stepped back into my office, the scent of coffee and fresh bread clinging to my clothes, a faint comfort against the unease that had settled like a stone in my heart. My phone buzzed, jolting my heart, my hands fumbling as I grabbed it, my eyes scanning the screen, my chest tightening as I read Austin’s text: “Can’t pick you up tonight, Liv. Driver’s coming instead.” My heart sank as I stared at the words, their curtness a sharp contrast to his usual warmth. My hands trembled, my chest heaving with the fear that our argument about Lucas was driving a wedge between us, my throat tightening with the regret of not addressing it better, of not convincing him I was on his side. I typed a quick reply—“Okay, see you at home”— my heart aching with the hope that we could fix this, that his coldness was temporary, that our love would pull us through.The day dragged on, through meetings and emails, my hands fidgeting with pens, my ey
