Ex In, Me Out Chapter 10
I'd heard about Chuck's downfall, but since he never showed up, I acted like I didn't know a thing.Next time I saw him was at an auto shop. My belly had a soft curve by then. He was under a car, covered in grease. When he slid out and saw me—frozen.That one look felt like it stretched forever.Only six months had passed.He awkwardly wiped his hands and sweat off his face.We ended up in the waiting area. He glanced at my stomach, gave this bitter little smile. After a pause, he finally asked, "You... got married?"I took a sip of water. "No. IVF."Rich, pregnant, no husband—it's a solid life.I added, "What? You're not with Ella?"Chuck shook his head. "I... didn't love her. I only looked after her out of pity. Don't get it twisted. After we broke up, it was over."He kept going, but I shut him down. "Save it. I don't care. Half that money was yours. If you really need help, I'll lend you some. Basic human decency. I'm not as vicious as you claimed."His face went red at

Outside the courthouse, he showed up in a suit and shiny shoes, wedding ring flipped to his right hand, clutching a bouquet of roses.The second he started walking toward me, my mood soured.He lifted the flowers and dropped to one knee. I felt... nothing. His eyes were a mess of panic and hope.It was only the second time I'd ever seen him shake—the first was when I miscarried and he rushed me to the hospital. Even then, he ditched me to go take care of Ella and Lucy.He started spilling his guts. "Babe, I messed up. I never gave you a real wedding, and that left too much space for everything to fall apart. I trusted the wrong people. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Will you marry me again?"Voice soft. Eyes begging.We never had a proposal. No wedding. Just a piece of paper that made us legal.Three wasted years.But whatever was supposed to happen back then? That moment's gone.He stared at me. I hit him with a cold, sarcastic smile.The smile in his eyes died. "Please... fo

Lately, Chuck had been sniffing around, trying to figure out where I'd disappeared to.I was busy gearing up to sue him into oblivion. When someone won't listen to reason, you hit them with the law.Meanwhile, my parents tried setting me up with a few "nice guys." Met them. Yawn. I'd rather be single than bored.Somewhere in there, I took a trip overseas.When Chuck realized I was off-grid, he started sucking up to my parents.My mom went to play poker with her friends—she was basically famous for losing. Her friends loved it; she might as well have been handing out cash.So Chuck paid them off to lose on purpose.At first, Mom was over the moon—until she found out Chuck had rigged the game. She scooped up every dollar and stormed his office.Right there, in front of everyone, she chucked the cash in his face."I don't want your dirty money. Back off and leave my daughter alone."Chuck just stood there, head down. The same guy who used to flex in boardrooms got roasted in fro

The second I said "divorce," Chuck clammed up and rubbed his forehead. "I'm tired. Let's just drop it. Hope it doesn't happen again."I gave him a calm smile. "Drop it? Who said anything about dropping it? Who's owning up to the baby I lost?"You forced me to drink, made me say sorry, while she posted those pics like she was queen and I was the joke—how's that just something to forget?"He froze, mouth twitching like words might show up but bailed. "I... what happened with the baby, that's on me. I said sorry."It's late, I'm done fighting. Get some sleep. Ella and Lucy are gone. I cut them off. You saw—haven't brought them back."Yeah, because he bought them their own house.And somehow, he still slept just fine.***Next morning, I marched straight to Ella's. "You've got half a day to move. Call someone or I will. Out of pity for your sad single-mom act, I won't even charge you if I do it myself."She bolted to the balcony, shaking, voice cracking into the phone. "Come quick

When Lucy started preschool, it just so happened a few of the kids there were ones I'd been sponsoring.Back when I couldn't get pregnant, I figured doing some good might earn me a little karma. So I started sponsoring kids at the preschool. One day, I got a call from the teacher—the girl I sponsored had gotten into a fight.When I showed up, I found her and Lucy standing toe to toe. Braids a mess, faces streaked with dirt, both of them fuming.Turns out, the director had shown the kids a PowerPoint that day, introduced me with a photo—explaining I was the sponsor.Lucy pointed at me and yelled, "Bad woman! You stole my dad! My mom said you're a homewrecker!"That line had Ella written all over it.All I ever did was write checks for a few kids, but Ella had been trash-talking me across the whole preschool. Even Lucy always called me a homewrecker in front of everyone, some of the parents actually believed it.Word was going around that I was using sponsorship to flirt with th

I left the hospital a day early. My mom came to help with the discharge—and ran right into Chuck.He'd shown up late, burst into my empty room, totally panicked. Started grilling the nurses.One of them frowned. "Who are you? What's your relation to the patient?""I'm her husband," he said, rushing.She actually laughed. "Husband? What husband? That woman didn't have a husband around the whole time."He kept asking around until someone finally snapped, "She was discharged. After a miscarriage. And you didn't even know?"My mom told me everything. Her voice was calm, but I could feel the fire under it.Just as she finished and stepped outside with my dad, there was this pounding on the front door.Chuck.He was shouting like a man on the edge. "Diana! Come out! Babe, come out!"I opened the door calm as ever and tossed the divorce papers in his face. "Perfect timing. Sign this."He skimmed the agreement and instantly pushed back. "I'm not signing."I narrowed my eyes. "Think
