Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 88 - Is He A Bad Man
Elara's POVThe house looked wrong before I understood why."Careful." Sullivan wheeled himself through the door someone held open for him. "It'll feel too big at first. It always does, coming back to somewhere your body remembers better than your head does.""How do you know that?""Because I've done it myself. Different circumstances. Same feeling." He didn't elaborate, and I didn't press.A woman came down the hall fast, hands pressed to her mouth, and didn't say anything at all — just crossed the space and put both arms around me before I'd worked out whether I should know her."You came back." Her voice broke into my shoulder. "Madam, you came back.""I did." The words left me before I'd decided what else to say. Something in her voice told me madam was mine, that this wasn't a stranger's mistake."Mrs. Adele." Sullivan's tone had gone gentler than anything else he'd used yet. "Give her room to breathe."The name settled into place the second he offered it. Adele. I turned it ove
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 87 - Home Sweet Home
Ian's POV The call came at four in the morning, and I was awake for it, the way I'd been awake most nights since the coma let me go — some part of my body still convinced that sleep was a debt I hadn't finished repaying. "She's alive." Sullivan's voice, rough, disbelieving even as he said it, like the words might dissolve if he didn't get them out fast enough. "Say that again." "She's alive, Ian. Liam has her. They're in the air, four hours out, Sydney direct." A sound on his end that might have been a laugh, might have been something closer to a sob, impossible to tell over the line. "Eleven weeks. Eleven weeks and Danvers' thin little Frankfurt lead turned out to be everything." I sat up too fast, the stitches in my side reminding me, sharply, that eleven weeks of healing hadn't made me the man I used to be. "Is she hurt." "Liam says no. Disoriented, still — the memory hasn't come back, not fully, but she has a name now, Ian. She knows her own name." A pause, heavier. "There
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 86 - She Has A Home
Julian's POV "You let him take her." Klaus didn't flinch. "I opened a door. She walked through it herself." "You hit the release before I could stop you." "You weren't going to stop her, Julian. You were going to keep finding new sentences to delay the moment you actually had to." He said it without heat, which somehow made it land harder than shouting would have. "I've watched you talk yourself into worse things over smaller stakes. I wasn't going to watch you do it to a woman who finally had a name to stand on." I said nothing. The front hall still had the cold night air trapped in it, the door not quite shut, gravel dust settled thin across the marble where too many feet had crossed too fast. "Where would he take her," I said, finally. "Home, presumably. Wherever home is for a woman who's spent three months not knowing the word." "Track the jet." "Julian—" "Track it, Klaus. I'm not asking you to stop me this time. I'm asking you to find her." He looked at me a long mome
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 85 - This Isn't An Ending
Elara's POV The name hung in the dark outside the glass, and I said it back before I even understood why my mouth already knew the shape of it. "Liam." Klaus hadn't moved. Julian hadn't either. "Open it. Or I break it myself." "Elara—" "Ten seconds, Julian." Klaus moved first. Hit the release before Julian could stop him. The bolt gave with a heavy clunk and I was through the door before either of them got out another word. Cold air. Gravel underfoot. Headlights washing the drive gold, and a man coming out of the glare — limping, one arm held stiff against his side. He stopped a few feet away. Just looked at me. "You don't know me." Not a question. "I don't. I'm sorry, I—" "Don't." His voice cracked. "Don't apologize to me." "How do you know me?" "Long story." Almost a laugh, no humor in it. "Not telling it in this driveway." Julian appeared in the doorway. Klaus a step behind him. "Who are you to her." Julian's voice had gone flat, dangerous. "Some
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 84 - Let Me Help
Elara's POV The hallway blurred as I walked it, journal still clutched against my chest, my own name — my own children's names — repeating themselves in my head like a rope I was trying to climb hand over hand. "Elara. Wait." Julian's voice, behind me, closer than I expected. I didn't stop. "Elara, please, just—" "Don't." I turned on him, and whatever was on my face made him actually stop moving. "Don't ask me to wait. You've had me waiting for three months without even telling me what I was waiting for." "I'll help you. Whatever you need — flights, money, people to find them faster than any police force could—" "I don't want your help." "You don't mean that." "I do." My hands were shaking around the notebook. "Every single thing you've given me these three months came with something hidden underneath it. I don't know how to take anything from you anymore without wondering what you're not saying." "That's not fair." "You keep telling me what's fair, Julian, and y
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 83 - The Truth
Elara's POV Breakfast sat untouched between us, the coffee gone cold in both our cups, neither of us pretending anymore that the meal was the reason we were sitting there. "The hour's up," I told him. "I know." "So." He set his napkin down, folded it once, twice, the way a man folds something when his hands need a task more than the napkin needs folding. "Before I show you. I want you to understand something." "You keep wanting me to understand things before you show me anything. It's starting to feel like a pattern." "Maybe it is." He looked up. "I fell in love with you not knowing anything about you. No name, no history, nothing but a woman on a bench who trusted a stranger because the alternative was freezing. That's not nothing, Elara. Whatever's in that journal, whatever it tells you about who you were — I need you to know the person I love isn't a stranger to me. She's the one who's been sitting across this table from me for three months." My throat tightened desp
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 3 - The Night Everything Ended
Elara's POV My fingers trembled so hard I could barely unlock my phone. One deep breath. One last ounce of courage. Then I hit send — the recording, Ian’s confession, every single shred of betrayal he had thrown at me. I attached it all with a note that burned like poison on my tongue.> “Let’s se
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 2 - Shattered
Elara's POV The streetlight above me flickered, throwing broken shadows across the driveway as I stood there, gripping the divorce papers like they were the only thing keeping me from falling apart. My hands were shaking so badly the pages rustled in the night air. I don’t even remember the dri
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 1 - The Anniversary Gift
Elara's POV Where the fuck is he? I muttered to myself as I searched the Grand Hall for Ian, my diamond stilettos clicking sharply against the marble floor. Tonight was supposed to be special—our third anniversary and my twenty-fifth birthday. Ian had promised to make it a night I’d never forget
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 5 - The Game Begins
Elara's POV I followed Ian out of the fashion show and kept my distance, slipping behind a marble pillar in the corridor. My pulse was steady, trained to hide itself; my breath slow. From my hiding place I could hear him—low, flat—answering a call.“You need to hurry up with Camila,” his mother’s
