ATHENA

Two days later….

“I don't know how it came to this, my dear. But always know that you're welcome and this is your home.” Giana pulls my hands into hers.

Today marks four months since I got divorced from Alex, and this is the first time I'm facing his grandmother. I had no idea what to say to her, especially since it felt like it was my fault.

I lost the baby, and I have no way of proving otherwise.

“I'm sorry I robbed you of the chance to see Rayen grow.” I whisper as tears roll down my face.

My wounds have never healed, and every day is harder.

Giana's grip on my hands tightens, her warmth a stark contrast to the cold emptiness inside me. Her eyes, filled with a depth of understanding I don’t deserve, shimmer with unshed tears.

“My sweet girl,” she murmurs, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “You didn’t rob me of anything. Life is cruel, and sometimes, it takes more than it gives. But you… you are still here.”

I shake my head, the weight of grief pressing down on my

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 163 ~ Roses and Regret

    ATHENA[A rose for every day I wronged you. I love you baby, please take me back.] I stare at the small card with my mouth open.What time did he arrange this?I look around, and the floor is covered in red roses. Petals trail from the door to the bed, some scattered in messy little bunches, others lying so perfectly they almost look unreal. The room smells like fresh flowers and heartbreak.My heart thuds against my chest like it’s trying to claw its way out.“I think we are in the wrong room.” I place the card back down.“No we're not. The flowers are for you.” A deep voice speaks behind me.“You’re insane,” I whisper, not sure if I’m talking to him or myself.Alex leans against the doorframe, his hands in his pockets, watching me like I’m the only thing in the room that matters. “I am insane.” He says, pushing away from the door frame, “But I’m in love with you.”I shake my head slowly, trying to keep the tremble out of my voice. “You can’t just buy flowers and expect everything

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 162 ~ Same room???

    ATHENA “Is he asleep?” Alex asks, his voice low and surprisingly gentle.I nod, brushing Rayen’s hair back one last time before zipping up the side of his tent. “Out like a light. Thanks to all the singing we did!” I throw him a pointed look.But instead of responding, he smiles, and I swear I feel my ovaries shift.It should be illegal for your enemy to look this good!The fake forest around us is finally quiet. A few kids are still whispering in their tents, giggling under their fairy light strings, but for the most part, the fantasy campsite is winding down.The parents, according to the schedule, are supposed to sleep in nearby guest rooms so the kids could feel independent but still stay safe.I straighten and stretch my back, wincing slightly. “Where am I sleeping?”“We need to check the list,” Alex replies, pulling out his phone and scrolling through something.“Please don’t tell me you’re the one who made the list.”He gives me that maddening look, the one where he pretend

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 161 ~ Camping

    ATHENA “Mummy! What made you take so long?” Rayen jumps in my arms as I hold back a groan. I swear periods were enemies sent to kill us but found us stronger, so they settled for torture instead. Because what the hell am I feeling this kind of pain for?“We had to check for something, buddy. Come here!” Alex saves me again.Have you ever felt like asking the ground to open up and swallow you whole? That's exactly how I'm feeling.I'm so shy, I can't face him. Which is crazy because I'm a doctor. These things shouldn't bother me. “My camping tent is huge and warm. I'm sharing it with my best friend! Wanna see?” Rayen asks, and I hold back a laugh.This boy has more energy than I'll ever have. “Yes, sure. But I didn't know you had a best friend, who is it?” Alex asks.“Kai Sinclair. He just came to our school and is super fun!” Rayen bounces as we walk to his tent.The setup is really camp like except that the tents have been made inside the huge hotel with security so tight no one

    ALEXHer eyes snap to me, and I swear my soul leaves my body for a second.“I mean, I'm…just asking! For context! Pain-level identification!” I rush to explain.She glares.I press my lips into a thin line.Without saying another word.At the red light, I quickly pull up my phone and search for the nearest convenience store. Thankfully, there’s one less than five minutes away.I park the car a little too hard in my rush.Athena doesn’t move. She’s hunched over in pain, with sweat still clinging to her temples like she just ran a marathon. I glance at her, completely useless, then I turn to her and whisper, “Baby, stay here….I..ahh….I’ll get what you need.”She doesn’t fight me on this or the pet name I just called her. That’s how I know it’s bad.I grab my wallet and rush out. But as I step out of the car and head toward the store, a terrifying thought strikes me,What do I even get?I freeze on the sidewalk like an idiot, then pull out my phone again and start typing:[ What do wome

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 159 ~ I'm not dying!

    ALEX Her lips part forming an O. Her beautiful eyes widen in shock as she looks at me like I have grown a second head. But it's true.I just hate that it took me so long to tell her.I'm in love with Athena. And I'll do anything to have her back in my arms again. I'll do it right this time. "I love you." I repeat. No games. No pride. No defenses left.Just love.Raw. Consuming. Terrifying, how powerful it feels.She turns her head slowly, as if needing confirmation that the words really came from my mouth. Like maybe she imagined it.But I mean every syllable.I love her.God, I love her so much it’s unbearable sometimes.When she’s happy, I feel like the sun is shining just for me. When she smiles, like really smiles, it knocks the breath out of me. My heart races like a fool’s.And when she laughs?It’s over. I’m a goner. Every single time.I catch myself staring at her more than I should. Memorizing the curve of her jaw, the way her lips tug to the side when she’s pretending

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 158 ~ Anywhere but here

    ATHENA I sit at work as my head spins. I've tried to think of what would have caused Alex to say that, but I come back empty every single time.He wouldn't tell me what, and it's extremely frustrating!“Dr. Dawson? We have an urgent patient who needs surgery.” Nurse Mira says, and I nod. I put my phone back in my coat and rush to to the OR.Three hours later, I'm walking out, feeling like my bones are cracking. It's crazy how you think your body will get used only to be proven wrong over and over again. The fatigue never goes away. And the back pains only get worse. But none of that matters when you're doing something you love. As long as my patients get to live a healthy life again, I'm fine with feeling tired and having dark circles.“The surgery went well. We just need to keep an eye on him.” I say to the nurse who nods.“Yes doc. You really do have magic hands. Every patient you've worked on has lived.” She says with a smile.I smile back, but I can't help but get a strange fe
