Possible Trigger Warning: Miscarriage. It doesn't happen in the chapter, but it is spoken about.

Conall

I’m woken in the middle of the night by the sounds of whimpering and talking. I sit up, taking a second to come too.

“Serena, are you okay?” I ask.

There is no answer from her. She is still sound asleep next to me.

“No, you can’t take them from me,” she sobs, tossing in her sleep.

What is she dreaming of? What is someone trying to take from her? I sit up, listening and watching her. A lot of w

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me    Chapter Eighty-Six

    SerenaConall has officially moved in; all his things are here. It only took a few days since he wasn’t working. I went out to deal with some things, and when I returned a few hours later, the rest of his belongings had arrived. He hired a company to help him. Although he had to put a lot in storage, he seemed okay with that. We plan to take everything out before we leave for a fresh start and find a bigger place where it all fits. Things have been quiet; we’ve heard nothing from Henry or the police. Thankfully, we keep busy with other things. Right now, I am enjoying peach iced tea while Conall steps out to pick up lunch. I love having him around, but a half hour of "me" time is welcome. After nearly a year alone, I’m still adjusting to someone being around. I close my eyes, rest my head against the sofa, and take in the silence. Suddenly, my cell rings and shatters the calm. With a groan, I glance down at a number I don’t recognise. I could ignore it, but it might be business, so I

    Conall“What are you going to do with this place?” Serena asks as we pack up some of my things.I will either sell or lease it. I need to review the market and determine the best course.I am only packing what we can fit in the cars today. I can get the rest of my things at some point because it will take a while to get this place rented or sold. The place isn’t cheap, and the economy isn’t at its best right now.“Are you sure you don’t want to hold onto it in case you end up hating living with me?” There is a nervousness in her voice when she asks.I glance up at her from the floor where I am packing up some boxes. “That won’t happen, baby girl.”I know it won’t. I have faith that it will work out for us.“You sound certain. I can be a stubborn jackass at times.”I raise my brow at her. “Something I am already familiar with. Trust me, it will work. Have a little faith, sweetness.”Serena nods and smiles. “You should rent, maybe short term, it would work better for you in the long run

    SerenaWe finally heard, and surprisingly, they are doing something about the assault on Conall. For everything else, since it involves federal matters, the case is being handed over to the FBI. They haven’t told us much, but just enough to know that something is getting done. It is now a waiting game. It could take months, but the best thing for us to do is get on with our lives and hope they don’t find out it was us and try to cause more trouble. If they do, we will fight back harder, and it will just give us more evidence to hand over to them.It has been a stressful week, but we have taken a step in the right direction. The assault on Conall should be dealt with more quickly than everything else, since they have everything they need. I still can’t help but worry that it won’t work out how we want it to, but we will need to find that out and try not to overthink it all.I arrive at my apartment, where for the first time in weeks we will be staying tonight. Conall should be here soo

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me    Chapter Eighty-Three

    ConallI feel anxious as I meet my mom for coffee. She’s unaware of what’s happening. I haven’t told her yet, but I plan to today. I’m uncertain how she’ll respond. I hope she understands and supports my choice. The main update is that we submitted everything, but haven’t received any feedback. Tomorrow, we’ll return to the station to speak in person. We’ve given them enough time. A two-minute call would have sufficed for an update, but nothing came. I can’t tell if that’s positive or negative. We’ll know tomorrow.I step into the cafe, breathe deeply, and search for my mom. I see her waiting. Serena isn’t here today. Her presence would calm me, but I must face this alone. I put on my best smile and approach the table. Mom stands to hug me. I return the hug, holding tighter and longer than usual. I am a mama’s boy, and I admit it. No matter how old you get, parents provide comfort that no one else can. Mom doesn’t mind. I release her after a moment, and we sit to order drinks.“Conall

    SerenaIt has been a few days, but we haven’t heard a thing. If we still haven’t heard from anyone within the next couple of days, I will be paying them a visit to see what is going on. Clearly, they must still be working on things because we would have heard by now if anyone had been taken in or arrested. It would have been all over the news or one of them would have paid us a visit. None of that has happened. We are just going about our days normally the best we can. I still have no idea if Felicty has left Henry or not. Basically, we are no further along as of yet. We are trying not to let it gets to us, but sometimes that is easier said than done. Conall has been burying himself in work, that is his way of dealing with it. I am been doing the same, but it means we aren’t getting as much together, but it is a process and that is fine.I just finished with my day and heading to Conall’s office. I want to make sure he doesn’t work late into the night. I want him to come home, well, t

    ConallI sigh as we leave the police station. It is going to be a waiting game now to see what happens. We gave them everything. Told them everything, and now we can’t do anything else until they take the next step. If they take the next step. I have no idea who they have in their pocket, but it doesn’t matter either way because if they don’t do something about it, we will find someone else who will.“I know it is a stressful time, my love, but we have done everything we can, and now we just need to wait. Let’s go get some food and coffee, try not to think about it too much.” Serena says softly, resting her hand on the small of my back.I turn to her. “Yes, good idea. Thank you for coming with me.” I reply and reach in, kissing her softly.“I will always be here for you, Conall, in the same way you have been there for me. We are in this together, no matter what happens. I promise.”“Always.”The sooner all of this is over, the better. We can get on with our lives, maybe move away and

    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

    SerenaConall is sound asleep next to me. We had dinner, sex and now he has crashed out. I can't sleep, thought. My thoughts are in overdrive—thoughts I don't want to be thinking. Sighing, I rest my hand on my stomach and close my eyes, my mind drifting back to the horrible day.~~~~~~They rushed
