Killian's POV

"Elara?"

My heart nearly stopped when I heard her voice from the stairs. I looked up to see her standing there in her nightgown, her eyes wide with shock and confusion. Her hair was messy from sleep, and she looked so small and vulnerable standing there.

Beside me, Bella was still leaning heavily against my arm. She was so weak that I could feel her trembling through the thin fabric of her hospital gown.

"What is Bella doing here?" Elara asked, her voice tight with confusion. I could see her hands gripping the railing of the stairs, her knuckles turning white.

My stomach dropped. "Do you two know each other?" I asked, looking between them. How could they possibly know each other?

Elara came down the stairs slowly, her eyes never leaving Bella's face. "We met at the company yesterday," she said quietly. "But why is she here? In our house?"

Our house. The way she said it made something warm spread through my chest, even in this awkward situation.

  • FROM SCUMBAG EX TO SCUMBAG HUSBAND   Ch-57

    Elara's POVI needed air. The walls of the house felt like they were closing in on me, suffocating me with the weight of my anger and frustration. I grabbed my novel and headed to the garden, hoping the fresh air and peaceful surroundings would calm the storm raging in my chest.The garden was beautiful in the afternoon light, with flowers blooming in vibrant colors and the fountain bubbling softly in the center. I found my favorite spot under the large oak tree and settled onto the stone bench with my book.But I couldn't focus on the words. My mind kept replaying the breakfast scene, the way Killian had rushed to help Bella, the way he defended her in our argument. My jaw clenched as I remembered his dismissive tone when he told me she was just his childhood friend.Just friends. Right.I was so lost in my angry thoughts that I didn't notice someone approaching until I heard footsteps on the gravel path. I looked up to see Bella walking toward me, and what I saw made me pause.She w

  • FROM SCUMBAG EX TO SCUMBAG HUSBAND   Ch-56

    Killian's POVI closed the door to my study harder than I meant to, the sound echoing through the room like a gunshot. My shoulders sagged as I leaned against the wooden frame, running both hands through my hair in frustration.Elara's angry words kept replaying in my mind like a broken record. The way her eyes had flashed with hurt and fury, the way her voice had shaken with emotion... I had messed this up badly.I walked to my desk and slumped into the leather chair, my head falling into my hands. The weight of trying to balance everything was crushing me. Bella needed help, but Elara was suffering because of it. And somehow, I was failing both of them.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. Before I could answer, the door opened, and Bella slipped inside. She looked so much better than she had at the breakfast table, her cheeks pink and her eyes bright with concern."Are you fine?" she asked, closing the door gently behind her. "You look upset."I straightened up, trying to compose

  • FROM SCUMBAG EX TO SCUMBAG HUSBAND   Ch-55

    Elara's POVI woke up to sunlight streaming through the curtains. My neck was stiff from sleeping on the small bed, and I rubbed it gently as I sat up. I looked over at Bella's bed, expecting to see her sleeping form under the covers.The bed was empty.My heart jumped, and I stood up quickly, alert and worried. Where was she? Had something happened during the night?Just then, I heard the bathroom door open. Bella came out, looking completely different from the weak, fragile woman I had helped last night. She was wiping her damp hair with a towel, and her cheeks had color in them. She looked... healthy.My eyebrows shot up in surprise. The change was so dramatic it made my head spin."Good morning," Bella said with a bright smile. "I made sure not to make a sound so as not to disrupt your sleep."I forced a smile, though my mind was racing with questions. "How are you feeling? I see you look better today.""Yes, I feel much better today. Thanks for your care," she said, her voice str

    Elara's POVThe scream pierced through the air like a knife through my heart. My body went cold, and I felt all the blood drain from my face."HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"Bella's voice was so weak, so desperate. I could hear the pain in every word.Without thinking, I ran toward the guest room, my bare feet pounding against the floor. Killian was right behind me, his footsteps heavy and urgent. My heart was beating so fast I thought it might burst out of my chest.I pushed the door open and gasped. My hand flew to my mouth in shock.Bella was on the floor beside the bed, her hospital gown stained with bright red blood. She was holding her hand against her chest, tears streaming down her pale cheeks. The white tiles beneath her were splattered with drops of blood that looked so dark against the clean floor."Oh my God!" I rushed to her side, dropping to my knees without caring about the blood on the floor. My hands were shaking as I gently touched her shoulder. "Bella, what happened?"She

  • FROM SCUMBAG EX TO SCUMBAG HUSBAND   Ch-52

    Elara's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the closed door where Killian had just disappeared. My heart was still racing from everything that had almost happened between us. The way he had looked at me, the way his hands had felt when he helped me with my nightgown... and then that phone call.Emergency. The word kept echoing in my head.My hands were shaking as I picked up my phone and dialed his number. It rang once, twice, then went straight to voicemail. His deep voice filled my ear, making my chest tighten with worry."You've reached Killian. Leave a message."I ended the call without saying anything. What would I even say? That I was worried about him? That I couldn't stop thinking about what emergency had made him run out so quickly?I tried calling again. Voicemail.And again. Voicemail.My stomach twisted into knots as I realized I didn't have his assistant's number, or his driver's number. I had no way of knowing if he was okay.I stood up and started pacing around
