Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 231 — THE FINALE…
THREE MONTHS LATER… “Mommy, you’re so pweedy!!” Zara squeals for the umpteenth time tonight. “You look like a princess!” And just like all the previous times she’s said it, my cheeks flush and my heart dances with happiness. “Thank you so much, baby.” I scoop her into my arms and give us a little twirl, my grin widening at the sound of her high-pitched laughter. It’s been three months since my father-in-law tried to kill me. Three months since I was pronounced clinically dead. Three months since I slipped into darkness with no hope of ever waking up. If anyone had told me three months ago that I’d be alive today, laughing and playing with my daughters, surrounded by my family, I would never have believed them. Zeya, Gemini and Michael made sure to fill me in on everything that happened while I was unconscious. Till this day, I’m still moved to tears whenever anyone reminds me of how hard Silvan fought to get justice for me and so many other unfortunate victims of Henry’s madnes
Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 230 — DON’T LEAVE ME AGAIN…
SILVAN“Sir, she fell asleep while waiting for you.” Michael says when I walk into the hospital.I hurry past him, my nerves alert and tingling with anticipation. I left earlier to handle some urgent business with Lachlan Montclair. And also to give Astrid’s family enough time and space to be with her before I returned.I want her all to myself. Thankfully, her ward is empty when I walk in.I shut the door quietly and tip toe to her bed. My heart pounds wildly as I brush my fingers against her smooth skin. My face splits in a wide grin when I notice that most of the machines and tubes from earlier are gone. My wife is breathing fine, without the aid of a tube. Her heart is beating without some machine urging her on.She’s back. My angel baby really came back to me.What more could I ever ask for? I brush kisses across her forehead, my heart fluttering when I inhale her familiar strawberry scent. Someone gave her a bath when I was away.When I finally lean back, her eyes are wide
Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 229 — FINALLY AWAKE…
ASTRIDWhen I open my eyes the second time, the most beautiful sight in the world greets me. My family. My head hurts like hell. My limbs feel like they’re made out of lead. My eyes are heavy and gritty, and I’m tired to the bone. But it takes a chorus of two tiny, melodious voices to chase every last bit of my exhaustion out the window.“Mommy!!!” Zara squeals.“Everyone, look! My mommy is awake!” Zoey’s animated voice pierces the air.Before I can fully process what is going on, the room buzzes with whispers of excitement and Zara bursts into tears.“I want to give mommy a hug.” She sobs. “Please let me hug my mommy.”Someone helps me sit up with an arm around my waist. Hayley. I blink rapidly, taking in the small crowd gathered around my bed. Everyone is here — all my uncles, aunts and cousins, my babies, aunt Elena, Hayley, Michael, Zeya and Gemini.They’re all here… except for one person. Where is Silvan? Where’s my husband?“Mommy, mommy! We missed you.”Despite my confusi
Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 228 — HER MOTHER-IN-LAW.
SILVAN“Congratulations, Mr. Rourke. The surgery was successful. Your wife is out of danger!”I heard those words ten minutes ago, but it still echoes in my brain over and over again. My heart dissolved in relief. My legs gave way. I collapsed to the floor and just sat there, staring into space for five freaking minutes.Right now, I’m in the hospital, and the air that was once steeped in tension is buzzing with joy. After the barrage of tears and jubilation, we were finally allowed to see the patient. She’s not awake yet, but I’m content to just sit by her side and stare at her in awe while physically trying to hold myself back from covering her face in another round of kisses.My heart is filled with so much joy, I could explode.“Thank you, baby.” I whisper, kissing fingers, “thank you for coming back to me.”***ASTRIDMy eyes flutter open and all I register is the stinging brightness of my surroundings. I blink rapidly, trying to protect my already teary eyes.Where the hell a
Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 227 — CARDIAC ARREST…
SILVAN“Henry is in prison as we speak. Is this the end? Are you just gonna let him enjoy his time in jail?” “Of course not,” I say to Michael as I climb into the car. “Henry’s torture begins tonight. I have a wonderful schedule mapped out for him and men in standby to do the job. I’ll take over once Astrid is completely healed.”All I did today was “disaster management.” Henry would be a fool to think this is the end. I have fifty men patrolling the NewYork State facility where he’s being held.I will see to it that he never makes it to the trial alive. Astrid’s surgery was scheduled for today and it suddenly dawns on me that since this morning, I haven’t received a single call from the hospital or our family. A feeling of dread settles in the pits of my stomach. I am already grabbing my phone when it suddenly rings, scaring the shit out of me.“Fuck!”It’s Aunt Elena. What a co-incidence. My adrenaline is already spiraling through the roof as I press the phone to my ear, hoping
Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 226 — BEAT THE BITCH (II)
SILVAN“Okay then.” I look away, dismissing him, “sorry for the interruption, Veronica. You can start.”“Sure thing.”I expect Lachlan to leave, but he remains rooted to the spot, watching as Veronica lifts Claire on her tippy toes and slams her back first against the solid wooden door of one of the stalls.Claire tries to fight back at first, but ten seconds in, she surrenders, letting her attacker do whatever she wants. The next five minutes unfold in a flurry of sobs, whimpers and well-aimed slaps and punches. A surge of satisfaction courses through me as Veronica drives Claire into the floor. She wrenches her head back by her hair, tearing out a few strands that end up scattered on the floor. Up next, she straddles Claire’s torso and rains down blows on her face. Nothing she won’t heal from eventually.It doesn’t end there.“You like to bully people, huh?!” Veronica taunts. “Well, I was bullied a lot in high school. And I hate bullies!” Claire can only whimper as Veronica drags
Dear Ex-husband, My Stepbrother is Your Replacement. 101 — DADDY WILL TEACH THEM A LESSON…
SILVANZoey and Zara do not give me the chance to get off the floor. They instantly plop onto my lap, making themselves comfortable… and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.I hardly ever wish for anything, but right now, I’m praying that time would stand still so we can remain like this fore

ASTRIDThree hours later, my girls are all washed up and tucked into bed. I read their favourite bed time story and sing to them, reluctant to leave them even for a second.But finally, they fall asleep and it’s time to get answers. A nervous Thea currently stands before me, wringing her slender f

SILVAN“…not so fast.”I pause, regarding Gemini with an impatient glare.“What do you want?”He sheathes his blade, all traces of humour disappearing from his face.“You will not tell Astrid about this.” He waves a hand over his blood soaked shirt. “About any of this. She doesn’t know what I am.”

ASTRID“What happened to her?” I whisper, my eyes frozen on the screen.Mary’s hair is usually coiffed to perfection but this time, it sticks all over the place, a few strands escaping into her eyes. Her face is half covered in blood, tears and snot. She looks… deranged.“Ms. Machiavelli, p-please
