Elara left the house just after sunrise.

She told the children she needed to buy groceries, her voice calm enough to pass as normal. Devano watched her closely but didn’t question it. He had learned, too early, that sometimes adults needed silence more than answers.

The air outside was cool, carrying the faint scent of wet pavement from the night before. Elara walked without direction for several minutes, her coat wrapped tightly around her body as if it could hold her together.

She didn’t know where she was going.

She only knew she couldn’t stay.

Every corner of the house reminded her of the tension—Liam’s sleepless eyes, the untouched coffee, the space between words that used to come easily. She felt like a guest in her own life.

Her phone vibrated softly in her pocket.

She stopped walking.

Adrian.

She hesitated before answering, staring at his name on the screen as if it might burn her fingers.

Finally, she picked up.

“Good morning,” Adrian’s voice came gently, careful, as if he al

    “Dad…?”The small voice came from behind him, barely louder than a whisper.Liam froze.He had been sitting on the edge of the couch since dawn, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped so tightly his knuckles had turned white. He hadn’t slept. The night had stretched endlessly, filled with the echo of Elara’s words and the empty space beside him that felt far louder than any argument.He turned slowly.Devano stood in the hallway, clutching his stuffed dinosaur to his chest. His hair was messy from sleep, eyes rimmed with red, as if he’d been crying quietly on his own.Liam’s chest constricted.“Hey, buddy,” Liam said softly, forcing a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Why are you up so early?”Devano didn’t answer right away. He padded across the room, bare feet silent on the floor, and stopped right in front of Liam.Then, without warning, he stepped forward and wrapped his small arms around Liam’s waist.The contact hit Liam harder than any accusation ever could.Liam sucked in

    Elara locked the bathroom door behind her and slid down against it, her knees folding beneath her weight.The moment the latch clicked, the composure she had been forcing all evening shattered.Her hands trembled as she pressed her palms to her mouth, but the sob still escaped—raw, broken, unstoppable. She bent forward, forehead resting against her knees, shoulders shaking violently. The mirror reflected a woman she barely recognized anymore: eyes swollen, skin pale, lips bitten until they bled.She was so tired.Tired of explaining herself.Tired of being misunderstood.Tired of loving someone who seemed to hurt her without even realizing it.She cried silently at first, afraid the children might hear. But the grief inside her was too heavy to be contained. It poured out in shaking breaths, in gasps that scraped her chest, in tears that soaked into the fabric of her sweater.Why does loving him still hurt this much?The question echoed over and over in her mind.She had told herself

    Liam didn’t sleep that night.He lay on the edge of the bed, staring at the ceiling as if answers might be written there. Elara’s words replayed in his mind—I met Adrian today. The calm way she’d said it, the honesty, the restraint. It should have eased him.Instead, it lit a fire he couldn’t put out.He told himself he wasn’t angry at Elara. He told himself this was about fear, about the past, about everything they’d lost and were still trying to rebuild. But jealousy has a way of disguising itself as righteousness, and by morning, the knot in his chest had hardened into rage.He rose early, showered in silence, dressed with sharp movements. When he entered the kitchen, Elara was already there, packing lunches for the children. The domestic normalcy only made his thoughts louder.“Morning,” she said quietly, without looking up.“Morning,” he replied, too quickly.The word hung between them like a lie.Devano shuffled in, rubbing his eyes, followed by Dirga. Leviana trailed behind, cl

    The night felt unbearably long.Liam lay on the edge of the bed, staring at the open doorway of the bedroom that no longer felt like theirs. The sheets beside him were untouched—cold, flat, empty. Elara hadn’t come back after the argument. He knew she wouldn’t.He didn’t blame her.Every sound in the house felt amplified: the faint hum of the refrigerator, the ticking clock in the hallway, the occasional creak of wood as the house settled into sleep. Each noise reminded him of how awake he was—how alone.Liam turned onto his back and pressed his forearm over his eyes.He kept replaying her voice.Stop blaming me for everything.He had heard anger before. He had heard disappointment. But that scream—raw and desperate—was something else entirely. It wasn’t meant to hurt him. It was a cry from someone who had been holding too much inside for far too long.And he had been the one pushing.He sat up slowly and swung his legs over the bed. The room smelled faintly of Elara—her soap, her hai

  • Ex-Wife Returns With Secret Baby    Chapter 58

    The house felt too small.The walls seemed closer than usual, the air thick with words left unsaid. Liam stood in the kitchen long after the porch light went dark, his hands gripping the edge of the counter as if it were the only thing keeping him upright.He could still hear Elara’s voice in his head.Good night, Liam.Not angry.Not cruel.Just… tired.That frightened him more than her anger ever could.He didn’t sleep.When dawn broke, pale and gray, Liam was still sitting at the table, staring at nothing. He barely noticed Elara enter the kitchen. Her hair was loosely tied, dark circles under her eyes. She moved quietly, carefully, as if every step might trigger another explosion.She reached for a glass.Liam turned his head. “Elara.”She paused. Didn’t look at him. “What?”His voice was hoarse. “We need to talk.”She closed her eyes for a moment, then nodded once. “Fine.”The single word carried a weight that made his chest ache.They sat across from each other, the table betwee
