Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 37: Suspects
Jaylen hadn’t expected this, as far as he knew, Hayden wasn’t even in the city that day let alone standing here, breathing the same air as him, staring down at Briella like he belonged in the room. And the worst part was that he didn't disguise because he was so sure.“I should be asking you that,” Jaylen said at last, voice quiet but cold. His posture was stiff, his knuckles pale as he clenched the railing of Briella’s hospital bed.Hayden took a half step forward. “This is my…”He stopped himself, the word getting tangled in his throat. My what, my woman or my responsibility? Those words didn't even make sense.“I’m here for her,” he said instead.Jaylen’s jaw twitched. “So am I.”Their eyes locked. And for a second, the room shrank.They had the same broad shoulders. The same height, same sharp jawline and eye shape. The kind of resemblance that wasn’t born out of coincidence.Hayden’s brows furrowed as he studied the man in front of him. “Who are you?” he asked again.Jaylen hesit

Highcare Hospital Hours earlier.Briella stirred, her eyelids felt like they were stitched together. she managed to peel them open but even that small movement took more effort than she expected.Her throat was like she hadn’t swallowed in days. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Just a croak, dry and broken.After the doctors examined her and left, a warm hand suddenly touched hers.“Briella?” a voice whispered, low and breathless.She tried to lift her lashes again, slower this time. Through the haze, a figure leaned over her.He looked like he hadn’t slept in days.“Lex” she mouthed, barely a sound.“I’m here. I’m right here.” His voice cracked, and his thumb gently stroked the back of her hand. “God, Brie. You scared the hell out of us.”Her lips parted, dry and trembling. “How…?”“You’re safe in the Hospital.” He grabbed a cup from the side table, carefully raised her head just enough to let her sip. She coughed.“Easy, small sips.” He supported her, holding he

A small girl not older than five years sat on the sofa, her legs dangling beneath. She held a barbie doll with one arm and munching on a biscuit with the other while the television played spongebob cartoon in front of her. Laughter bubbled from her lips as her tiny fingers twirled the doll’s tangled yarn hair.At the door, her nanny stood still, her eyes fixed on her watching the child like she was memorizing every detail of her face.“It’s bedtime now missy,” the nanny said, her voice calm but a little distant.She walked in, switched off the television without waiting for protest, and gently took the little girl's hand.The little girl obeyed without question, carrying her doll as they made their way toward the stairs.Just as they climbed up the stairs, the front door opened roughly. Her father stepped in. Garland Milton, followed by the smell of expensive cologne tainted with alcohol. He didn’t see his daughter at first. His words were sharp and directed only at her nanny.“You d

Hayden stepped forward, his heart pounding in his chest, but David knew what Hayden was attempting to do, he threw an arm across his chest, halting him."Don’t try to go in there."

One of them returned, wheeling in another tray. She didn’t even look their way.Whatever was happening inside that room wasn’t good.Hayden’s fists clenched at his sides, nails digging into his palms.

Welcome to the big league.”"Happy birthday granddad." came with a tiny angelic

Briella stood in front of his apartment, her expression unreadable, her arms folded across her chest as though they alone held her together.It had been a hell of a day, she couldn't find answers and David's search turned up to be nothing. But she needed peace more than proof and clarity over the situation with Jaylen. And he was the only one who could give her that tonight.She didn’t call ahead nor warn him.
