I step into the elevator after spending Conall’s lunch break with him. We have plans for this weekend. He has a dinner to attend with some clients, and I will be his date. Before then, we may see each other, or we may not. No official plans have been made, as they don’t need to be, since we aren’t together.

The doors begin to close, but a hand comes between them, pushing them back open. I roll my eyes when I see Henry. He followed me to the elevator; I don’t have any doubts. I take my ce

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Five

    SerenaMy due date is coming up quickly, and I wish it would hurry because I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’ve been confined to bed for the past week on the doctor's orders. They’re considering admitting me next week if my condition doesn’t improve. I’d prefer to wait, but I trust they know what’s best for our little ones and me. Who am I to argue? I’m not only feeling physically unwell but also mentally drained. I hate feeling this way. I should be happy and preparing for our sons, not down. My body is under a lot of stress, but all I want is to be celebrating. I carefully sit up, unsure of what to do next. Conall is painting the nursery today, but I don’t want to intrude. I wish I could assist, but I lack the energy. Standing too long makes me dizzy. It’s frustrating! I was so looking forward to working on our boys’ room. We still haven’t chosen names for them. The bedroom door opens, and I expect Conall to walk in, but it isn’t him.“Hey, sweetie. Would you like some company?”“

    ConallI am down at the construction site, checking on things and helping. There have been a couple of issues that have delayed it, but that is fine. We are in no rush to move in. We want to wait until the little ones are here and we have them into a routine.My cell vibrates in my pocket, so I quickly pull it out to see if Serena is calling. I don’t like leaving her alone, especially now that she is so exhausted. She is large and having difficulty moving around. She still has a couple of months to go. Serena asked me to come here, mainly to give her a break since I've been kind of a pain—being overly protective, which sometimes irritates her. I can’t help it; there's little else I can do for her. I quickly answer it when I see it is Serena calling. “Hey, is everything okay?”“I am bored. I need to get out of the house. Could you come back and take the dogs for a short walk with me, please?” she sighs.Serena hates that she can’t get around, but she hates even more that she can’t wal

    SerenaConall and I leave the hospital in silence and in shock after our twenty-week scan. We head to the car, climb in, and remain silent, staring out the window.“Twins.” Conall finally says, breaking the silence.“Yes, twins.”To say we were shocked was an understatement. We were planning for one, having no idea there was a second one too. It was hiding behind it, brother. We are having two boys, it would seem.“Do you have twins in your family?”I shake my head. “No, not that I know of, but that doesn’t matter. When it comes to twins, it doesn’t always need to run in the family, especially if they are identical.”He nods and stares out of the window. Neither of us was expecting this. I am surprised it wasn’t picked up before now, but it can happen, especially if one is hiding. This is crazy! Two babies! Not one, but two!“How are you feeling about this?”“Honestly, I am still processing. We were preparing for one, not two. That will need to change now. How are you feeling about it

    ConallIt's the last night here for my mom and Eric before they return to New York tomorrow afternoon. Their visit has gone by quickly; it feels like they just arrived a few days ago. Saying goodbye to my mom again will be hard. We plan to visit them soon, but for only a few days because we can't leave the dogs with someone else for too long. Plus, there's a lot happening with the new place, so we want to be nearby in case anything comes up. Eric and I went to pick up food, so there's no need to cook. We could have ordered delivery, but it was faster for us to get it in person. “Conall, do you have a moment to talk before we go get the food?” Eric asks anxiously. “Sure. Is everything okay?”He removes his seatbelt and faces me, taking a deep breath. “I hope so. There's something I want to ask you. I was planning to do it when we first arrived, but there was already so much happening." “Eric, what's happening? Is my mom okay? Are you both alright?" “Your mom is fine. Our relations

    SerenaStanding face-to-face, Conall takes my hands in his, ready to speak his vows.“Serena, I never imagined I would be here with you like this, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I know this isn’t what we originally planned when we decided to get married, but I am okay with that because the only thing that matters to me is marrying you. I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together and to meet our little one when they arrive. I love you more than words can ever say, and you becoming my wife will make me the happiest man in the world.”Tears brim in my eyes and finally roll down my cheeks at his words. I try to keep it together because it is my turn to speak. He slips the wedding band onto my fingers. I take a deep breath before I start.“Conall, I know our relationship hasn’t always been smooth, but I believe those challenges made us stronger. I love you more than I ever thought possible. You’ve become my everything, and I’m ready to spend my life with you. I look forw

    ConallI wake up in the middle of the night and find my bed empty. Serena was there when I fell asleep; we wanted a good night’s rest before our wedding tomorrow. I sit up, feeling confused, run my fingers through my hair, and then get out of bed to look for her. It’s three in the morning. I hope Serena isn’t having doubts. The dogs are not in the room, so I figure wherever she is, they are probably with her, at least Storm. I put on a pair of joggers, preferring not to walk around naked since we're not alone in the house. After leaving the room, I check the bathroom, but she's not there, so I go downstairs. I notice lights in the kitchen and living room. I stop first in the living room and see Serena on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket with the TV on very low to avoid waking anyone. Storm sits beside her, and the pups are lying at her feet. “Hey, angel, are you okay? What are you doing up?”She glances over her shoulder at me. “I was hungry and couldn’t sleep,” she says, laughing.I

    ConallI am not sure if I made the right choice, agreeing to continue with Serena, but I am willing to give it a try. She knows where I stand and what needs to change. If she is willing to work through this together, then things will be fine, but if things go back to how they were, I am done for go

    SerenaI woke a little while ago. Conall is still asleep next to me. His alarm will go off soon, but I have a better way to wake him. One thing I am sure he would appreciate more. I smirk, carefully climbing out of bed and going to use the bathroom, freshening myself up before I slip back into bed.

    SerenaI haven’t heard from Conall since he stormed out of my place this morning. I feel guilty for how I acted. He has helped me so much. Conall is the last person who deserves my bitchiness. It has crossed my mind many times throughout the day to reach out to him, but something has been holding m

    ConallI wake to an empty bed. Serena isn’t next to me. Reaching for my cell, I check the time. It is only six. Where did she go? We only fell asleep a few hours ago. Sitting up, I pull it together and run my fingers through my messy hair. My heart broke for her last night. I knew it was too much f
