I didn’t touch the messages.

Not that night.

Not the next morning either.

I saw them.

Every time my phone lit up.

Every time his name appeared across the screen.

But I didn’t open them.

Because opening them meant listening.

And listening meant giving space to something I wasn’t ready to question.

Not yet.

Haven stirred softly inside her bassinet, her tiny movements pulling me out of my thoughts.

I adjusted her blanket instinctively, my hand lingering just a second longer than necessary.

She was

    I didn’t sleep.Not after the message.Not after the image.I replayed it over and over again in my head until it stopped feeling like something I saw and started feeling like something I understood.The angle.The distance.The clarity.That wasn’t something taken by chance.That was taken by someone who knew exactly what they were doing.Someone inside the house.My fingers tightened slightly around my phone.Because nowThere was no doubt.Not about what happened.Not about what I saw.Not about what I had believed.Flavian didn’t touch her.He was pushing her away.And I had walked outCertain.Certain that everything I had was gone.A quiet knock sounded at the door.I didn’t move immediately.“Fiona,” my grandmother called softly. “He’s back.”Of course he was.I exhaled slowly.Then stood.Carefully adjusting Haven in her crib before stepping out.He was waiting in the living room again.But this timeHe didn’t look like someone asking.He looked like someone finishing somethin

    I didn’t touch the messages.Not that night.Not the next morning either.I saw them.Every time my phone lit up.Every time his name appeared across the screen.But I didn’t open them.Because opening them meant listening.And listening meant giving space to something I wasn’t ready to question.Not yet.Haven stirred softly inside her bassinet, her tiny movements pulling me out of my thoughts.I adjusted her blanket instinctively, my hand lingering just a second longer than necessary.She was calm.Unaffected.Unaware.And somehow that made everything feel heavier.Because the world could fall apart around meAnd she would still sleep peacefully through it.A knock sounded at the door.Light.Measured.“Fiona,” my grandmother called softly. “You have a visitor.”My chest tightened slightly.I didn’t ask who.I already knew.“I’m coming,” I replied.He was in the living room.Standing.Not sitting.Not comfortable.Like he didn’t belong here.Like he wasn’t sure he was allowed to.Fo

    The morning felt quieter than the night before.Like everything had already happened, and now all that was left was to sit in it.Haven stirred softly in my arms, her tiny fingers curling instinctively against my skin.I watched her for a moment.Memorizing her.Grounding myself in something that didn’t shift.Didn’t lie.Didn’t hurt.A soft knock sounded at the door.I didn’t need to look up.“Come in.”Flavian stepped in slowly.Careful.Like he was aware of every movement he made around me now.He stopped a few steps away.Not too close.Not too far.“How are you feeling?” he asked.“I’m fine.”It wasn’t entirely true.But it was enough.His gaze dropped to Haven.Softening immediately.“She slept?” he asked.“On and off.”A small pause.Then silence.Because we both knew why he was here.And neither of us was pretending otherwise.“Fiona,” he started.I looked up at him.Not angry.Not emotional.Just… steady.“I need you to listen to me.”I didn’t respond.Didn’t encourage it.Bu

    The hospital lights were too bright.Too sharp.Everything felt too loud, too fast, too overwhelming.Voices moved around me.Doctors.Nurses.Instructions being thrown back and forth like I wasn’t the center of it.Like I wasn’t the one breaking apart on that bed.“Breathe, Fiona.”I tried.God, I tried.But every breath felt shallow.Every second stretched too long.Pain tore through me again, stronger than the last.I gripped the side of the bed, my knuckles turning white.“I can’t,” I gasped.“Yes, you can,” a nurse said firmly. “You’re doing well.”It didn’t feel like it.It felt like everything was slipping.Like I was losing control of my own body.“Where’s the father?” someone asked.“On his way,” another voice replied.My eyes snapped open.“No.”The word came out sharper than I expected.The room stilled for half a second.“He’s been informed,” the doctor said calmly.“I said no,” I repeated, my voice shaking now. “I don’t want him here.”A pause.Professional.Measured.“We

    I didn’t sleep.Not properly.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again.That room.That moment.That image I couldn’t unsee no matter how much I tried to reason with it.So I stopped trying.I lay there instead, staring at the ceiling, my body still but my mind running in circles that never quite closed.Susan had checked on me twice.Kate once.Neither of them pushed.

    Downstairs, Cheryl stood exactly where he expected her to be.Composed.Untouched.Like the night had gone exactly the way she wanted.He walked straight toward her.Didn’t stop.Didn’t slow.“Where is she?” he asked.Her gaze lifted slowly.“Who?”His expression didn’t change.“Celeste,” he said.A small pause.

    FionaThe kiss still lingered between us when we finally pulled apart.Flavian didn’t move away immediately. His hand was still at my waist, like he wasn’t ready to let go just yet.Neither was I.But then he exhaled softly, like he was forcing himself back into control.“I should walk you to your

    Everything after the yard felt unreal.Police lights. Statements. Questions I could barely process.Hands touching my shoulder. Voices telling me it was over.But the only thing that mattered was the small weight asleep against me.Flavian hadn’t let go of me the entire time.Not once.Even now, as

    FLAVIANThe location came three hours later.Not from the police.From a man who owed me a favor he could never repay.“Got him,” the voice said. “Old mechanic yard by the eastern bypass. Quiet place. No cameras. Your type of problem.”I ended the call without replying.Good.That meant Sean still

    Flavian’s POVThe moment I saw the text on Fiona’s phone, my jaw tightened. Sean. Again. Threatening .Fiona’s hand was trembling as she clutched the device. I stepped closer, letting my presence anchor her. She wasn’t weak , never had been but fear was a mother’s instinct, and right now, it was a
