Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 54: A Very Sweet Girl
~Lora~"Mommy..." Michelle’s fragile voice pulled me right back to reality.She was looking up at me, her big eyes swimming with worry. "...Am I scaring you?"The innocence of her question broke through my defenses, and the lingering fear melted into aching tenderness.I pushed every terrifying thought to the back of my mind and leaned over the bed again, gently squeezing her little hand."Not at all," I murmured, a genuine smile finally reaching my lips.I brushed a few loose hairs away from her forehead. "In fact... I am really, really happy to meet you."Michelle’s entire face brightened, breaking into the biggest, most beautiful smile she had shown since I walked in.Christian let out a long, quiet breath of relief, and James smiled too, walking closer to the bedside.Michelle looked up at James, her eyes curious. "Are you Mommy's husband?"Total silence filled the room.Then Christian let out a sudden laugh, and James nearly choked on his own breath."I..." James coughed into his
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 53: Mommy!
~Lora~The word hung in the air.I couldn't move, my feet felt glued to the floor as I stared at the little girl in the bed. The room faded away until all I could hear was the frantic thumping of my own heart.Mommy?The soft click of the door behind me broke the silence."Lora?" James called gently.Christian stepped in after him, but his face completely changed the moment he saw where I was looking. I think he heard it too, because every bit of color drained from his skin."Oh..." He let out a nervous, embarrassed laugh and hurried to the bedside. "I am so sorry, Ma'am." He rubbed the back of his neck, his cheeks turning bright red. "Please don't mind her. She gets confused sometimes."He stopped beside the mattress and carefully adjusted the oxygen mask resting over Michelle's mouth, lifting it away."Hey, Chel," he murmured, his voice softening completely. "How are you feeling today?"The little girl didn't even look at him, her eyes stayed locked on me.Christian tried to smile
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 52: The Smartest Decision?
~Lora~Christian seemed to notice that I wasn't understanding anything, so he spoke up."The sample I showed them didn't match the substance they produce," he explained. "At first, they denied having anything to do with it because the type they manufacture is supplied only to hospitals.”“That explains why there's a red line here?” I asked, trailing my fingers across the page.“Yes.” He leaned forward and pointed at one of the highlighted sections. “Honestly... I found it strange, but I didn't question my luck. I was able to get the records of the one they produce," he added.I nodded absently, though very little of what I was looking at made sense. As I turned another sheet, something small slipped free and landed softly on my lap.My breath caught.It was a tiny, transparent plastic bag containing a fine white powder. For a long moment, I simply stared at it. It looked so harmless… just a pinch of powder sealed inside a piece of plastic. Yet something so small was completely up
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 51: Only Witness
~Lora~A knot tightened in my stomach. "What is it?"He lowered his eyes and exhaled slowly, as if searching for the courage to say the words. "...I lost my job this morning."My brows drew together. "What? Why?""They fired me."For a moment, I could only stare at him. "You mean because of this? Because you've been looking into what happened to me?""I honestly don't know." He shook his head, his voice tight. "Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. They didn't give me any explanation. They just called me into the office, told me my services were no longer needed, and asked me to leave."He tried to shrug it off, but I could hear the raw strain beneath his calm front. It sounded like he'd spent the entire day convincing himself it didn't matter… and was only now beginning to realize how much it actually did."I wasn't even going to mention it," he admitted."I figured I'd just give you the envelope and leave. But..." He hesitated, pulling his phone from his pocket. "Then this happened."Leani
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 50: Exhausted
~Lora~The moment I stepped out of the restaurant, I pulled my phone from my purse and immediately dialed James.As much as Christian claimed he had found a lead, there was no way I was meeting him alone. Maybe I was being overly cautious after everything that had happened recently, but I had learned the hard way that trusting people too easily could get me killed. Besides, if this really turned out to be something important, I'd rather have someone I trusted close by.The phone barely rang twice before James answered."Well, that was fast," he said. "I thought this was supposed to be a romantic date."I snorted. "Trust me, there was nothing romantic about it.""I'm guessing things didn't go well?""You could say that. Anyway, can you come pick me up? I need to head somewhere."There was a brief pause before he asked, "You're not driving?"I smiled despite myself. "When have you ever known me to willingly drive if someone else is available to do the job?"James laughed on the other
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 49: Priceless
~Lora~Michael swallowed hard, tugging at the collar of his suit as though it had suddenly become too tight.A knot formed in my stomach.I frowned. "Please don't tell me she's pregnant."He blinked.Across from him, Ivy nearly sprayed her water. She coughed violently, pressing a hand to her chest."What?" she choked out.Heat crept up my neck."Nothing," I muttered, waving a dismissive hand. "Just tell me what it is.”"So... you know how Ivy also majored in fine arts?" Michael started, his hands moving nervously at first.I raised my brow. But he continued anyway."And how.. she specialised in fashion designing, before she went on to study business administration?"I slowly shook my head. "Mhmm-mhmm. I don't."I mean, how would I? I didn't know anything about her, and frankly, It’s none of my business."Oh. Yeah. Uhm. Right," he added, adjusting himself in his seat. He was practically vibrating with excitement. "Anyways, she just signed this huge deal for our company. But she needs

~Lora~“Every time I sleep… I see you dying,” the words echoed hard in my head.For a moment, I simply stared at him, because what he had just said didn’t fully settle in my mind at first.It was as though my thoughts were resisting it on purpose, refusing to give meaning to words.“What do you mea

~Lora~ I stood quietly in front of the large cafe, staring up at the glass building for a moment before slowly exhaling. The weather had become cooler now. Gray clouds stretched across the afternoon sky, while soft wind brushed lightly against my skin and hair. Adrian had already left for the off

~Lora~As I stared at my father, a slow heat crawled up the back of my neck. It made me feel dizzy, like the floor was tilting.My heart was beating fast, trying to break out.Deep down, I knew. Whatever this was, it wasn't a gift. It was a disaster.Father stood there so proud, his broad should

~Lora~"Why do you still have this?" I jabbed his chest with my index finger.He tensed, his jaw tightening. "Why? Does it bother you that I didn't erase it?""I told you to get rid of the tattoo, Alex. What do you want people to think when you finally meet someone?"“Sssh,” he murmured, leaning in
