Chapter 109

Anna lifted her head at the sound of footsteps. The steady rhythm of shoes against the tiled floor carried an unwelcome familiarity. Her heart lurched, and the tension in the room thickened like smoke. She turned, and the sight that greeted her sent heat crawling under her skin.

Her bloodshot eyes, rimmed in red, narrowed instantly. A scowl twisted her pale, weary face.

“What the hell are you doing here?” she snapped, her voice jagged like broken glass.

Andy froze, his brows knitting together. He had come as soon as he got word about Anna’s kidnapping, but nothing prepared him for what he overheard outside the door. Her pregnancy. The miscarriage. His throat tightened, disbelief heavy in his chest.

“You were pregnant all along?” His tone carried equal parts shock and accusation.

Anna’s lips parted, her jaw trembling before she set it hard again. “What’s this idiot doing here?” Her voice dripped with venom, but beneath the sharp edges lay the fragile fracture of a broken he

  • Dear husband I can live without you    Chapter 117: Are you leaving me?

    The shift in Gerald’s face was so sudden it made Anna’s stomach twist.His easy smile evaporated like smoke in the wind. His jaw locked, brows furrowing so deep she thought they might never smooth again. He just stared at her, unblinking, and the weight of his silence pressed against her chest.Anna’s heart stuttered. Why is he looking at me like that? What did I do? He was fine just a second ago—smiling, teasing me—and now he looks like I ran over his dog. God, I’ll never understand this man. He changes moods like the damn weather.“Gerald… what’s wrong?” she asked carefully, her voice soft as sea foam.Still nothing. His eyes burned into her, dark and unyielding, until finally, his groan broke through the crashing waves of silence.“You resigned?”The words smacked into her like a slap.Anna blinked, her breath catching. Her lips parted but no sound came out. Suddenly, her mouth felt desert-dry despite the salty ocean breeze brushing against her damp skin. Heat flushed her cheeks, p

    “Oh my God, I still can’t wrap my head around this—we’re actually in the Bahamas!” Vivian flung her hand dramatically out the window as the car glided past rows of palm trees swaying lazily in the warm ocean breeze.The salty tang of the sea clung to the air, mingling with the sweet perfume of hibiscus flowers lining the driveway. Ahead, the resort revealed itself like something pulled straight out of a dream—glass catching the light, whitewashed walls curving gracefully, balconies dripping with bougainvillea in pinks and purples so vivid they looked painted.Gerald had chosen this slice of paradise for his company’s after-party. Every employee was allowed a plus one, and Anna, of course, had brought Vivian along. Gerald had been generous enough to let them fly with him on his private jet, which only added to the thrill.As soon as they arrived, uniformed attendants rushed forward, whisking away their luggage with smooth efficiency while giving quick, cheerful rundowns of the resort’s

    After the ceremony, the crowd mingled, champagne glasses in hand. Gerald moved through the guests with ease, shaking hands, smiling, charming everyone—but his eyes kept finding her, even if only briefly.Anna stared at him nervously.Vivian nudged her. “Go on. Talk to him. Before someone else steals your moment.”Anna’s hands trembled slightly, her pulse hammering. She took a deep breath and approached him. Every step felt heavy with anticipation and fear.“Congratulations,” she said softly, her voice barely rising above the hum of conversation.Gerald turned, blue eyes locking onto hers. A small, almost imperceptible smile curved his lips. “Thank you,” he said, voice low, measured… yet warm in a way that made her heart squeeze.They stood there, a quiet bubble amidst the gala chaos, the distance between them filled with unsaid words, desire, and regret. The crowd could have been gone, and it wouldn’t have mattered—they were the only two people in the room.For a fleeting moment, Geral

  • Dear husband I can live without you    Chapter 114: Do you know what this means?

    Anna’s fingers brushed over the sequined fabric, the smooth threads cool beneath her touch. Her eyes, though, weren’t on the dress—they were somewhere else entirely, distant, lost in thought. The boutique’s chandeliers hung like frozen constellations, scattering light across rows of satin, silk, and lace, glinting off the metallic threads of gowns that promised confidence and power.Vivian twirled in front of a mirror, holding a crimson cocktail dress against her frame. “Now this,” she said, striking a pose with a tilt of her hip, “screams classy… dangerous. What do you think?”No response .Vivian turned around, her smile disappeared, replaced by a frown. “Anna , I just asked a question”.Anna forced a smile. “ Oh…It looks perfect on you.”Vivian’s frown deepened. She knew Anna’s masks all too well—the practiced smiles that hid storms. Her best friend had been quiet ever since they stepped into the boutique, the excitement for shopping smothered under a heavy blanket of something da

  • Dear husband I can live without you    Chapter 113: I will never let her go

    Anna stopped in front of the office door, her breath catching in her chest. Her heart thumped as if it were trying to leap out. Fingers trembling, she typed in the security code, pausing halfway when doubt clawed at her.What if he’s inside? Her pulse quickened. What if I have to look him in the eye after chasing him out of the hospital like a madwoman? He was only trying to be there for me, and I… I shoved him away like he was nothing.She pressed her forehead lightly against the cool metal frame and inhaled. Then exhaled. Again. Again.“Breathe, Anna,” she whispered under her breath. “Just breathe. You’re here for work, not for him. Just do your job and go home.”Finally, she forced her hand to move, punched in the last digit, and pushed the door open.The moment she stepped inside, her legs faltered. Her heart dropped.There he was.Gerald sat behind his desk, posture perfectly composed, his blue eyes fixed on his phone screen. The world could have gone up in flames around him, and

  • Dear husband I can live without you    Chapter 112: I shouldn't have done it.

    ONE WEEK LATER….The car rolled slowly into the driveway, sunlight spilling across the familiar walls of Anna’s home. She leaned back against the seat, her chest rising with a quiet sigh of relief. The hospital’s sterile walls and constant beeping machines felt like a bad dream now. Her strength had returned little by little, and for the first time in weeks, she felt steady on her feet and hopeful.“Home,” she whispered, a soft smile tugging at her lips.As the driver opened the door, Anna stepped out carefully, clutching her small handbag. She wasn’t prepared for what came next.“Surprise!”The front door flew open, and a chorus of voices erupted. Vivian stood at the center, grinning from ear to ear, her arms stretched wide. Behind her, colorful balloons bobbed in the air, ribbons fluttered from the ceiling, and a big banner stretched across the living room wall: Welcome Back, Anna!Anna froze on the doorstep, her eyes widening. “Vivian… what is all this?”Vivian darted forward, pull
