Ivy's POV

Sleep came in fragments.

Every time I closed my eyes, I found myself standing in the nursery I had imagined countless times in my head. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating a tiny crib tucked into the corner. I could almost hear the soft laughter of a child I had never met. I reached toward the crib, desperate to catch one glimpse of the little face I had dreamed about.

Then the room dissolved into darkness. The laughter faded, and the crib disappeared.

I woke with a ga

    Ivy's POVThe discharge papers felt surprisingly light in my hands.After everything that had happened, I had expected them to feel heavier somehow, as though the few sheets of paper carried the weight of everything I was leaving behind. Instead, they were just paper.The nurse offered me a gentle smile as she finished explaining my medications one last time before removing the identification band from my wrist."Take things one day at a time," she said kindly. "Don't rush yourself."I managed a small nod. "I'll try."She squeezed my shoulder before leaving the room, quietly closing the door behind her.For a moment, I stood alone.The hospital room that had become my entire world over the past few days suddenly looked unfamiliar. The machines had been disconnected, the bedside table cleared, and the bouquet Anna had brought was beginning to wilt.Everything was telling me it was time to leave.I walked slowly into the small bathroom and stared at my reflection.A stranger looked back

The laughter faded, and the crib disappeared.I woke with a gasp, my breathing uneven as tears slipped silently down my cheeks.For several moments, I simply stared at the ceiling, trying to steady myself. The dream had felt so real that waking up hurt all over again. I pressed the back of my hand against my eyes and drew in a slow breath.Morning had arrived.Golden sunlight poured through the hospital window, bathing the room in a warm glow that felt strangely out of place.A gentle knock sounded on the door before a nurse stepped inside carrying a tray.

  • Goodbye, Dear Ex. Next Please   Chapter 28

    Ivy's POVZayn didn’t explode. Instead, he simply stood there by the window, the evening light casting long shadows across his exhausted face. His shoulders slumped slightly, but his voice remained quiet, almost gentle. “Where do you plan to stay then, Ivy?”I swallowed hard, my swollen eyes stinging with fresh tears I refused to let fall. “I don’t know,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. The truth tasted bitter. “But I’ll figure something out. I always have. I refuse to be dependent on you anymore, Zayn. Not after everything.”He nodded slowly, not dismissing my words but clearly troubled by them. He pulled the chair closer to the bed and sat down, his wrinkled suit jacket creaking. For a long moment, he just looked at me, the same man who had once seen a desperate woman on the street and offered her shelter without hesitation. Now that shelter felt like a cage lined with painful memories.“I’m not trying to force you to forgive me,” he said calmly, though guilt still shad

  • Goodbye, Dear Ex. Next Please   Chapter 27

    Ivy's POVMorning light filtered softly through the half-drawn blinds, casting pale golden stripes across the white hospital ceiling. I woke slowly, my body heavy and my mind foggy from the sedatives they had given me. My eyes felt swollen and gritty from hours of crying myself to sleep. The room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the monitors and the distant hum of hospital activity in the hallway. For a brief, merciful second, I forgot. Then my hand moved instinctively to my stomach, fingers pressing against the now-empty swell.The realization crashed over me again, quieter this time, no screaming, no violent sobs. Just a deep, hollow numbness that settled in my chest like lead. My baby was gone. The tiny life that had represented hope amid the chaos of living under Zayn’s roof had slipped away in a pool of blood and pain. I closed my eyes tightly, willing the tears not to fall again, but they came anyway, silent and hot against my cheeks.I turned my head slightly and saw

    Ivy's POVShock hit me like ice water. My heart stuttered, matching the sudden frantic beeping of the monitor. I pushed myself up slightly against the pillows, ignoring the sharp pull in my abdomen. Tears already welled in my eyes, blurring his face. “What did the doctor say?” I asked, my voice trembling. “Zayn, tell me. Please. What did he say about the baby?”He avoided my gaze at first, staring at the floor, then at the window, anywhere but at me. The silence stretched, suffocating. When he finally looked up, his eyes were filled with a pain that mirrored my own growing dread.“They... they weren’t able to save the child.”The words landed like a hammer to my chest. For a second, the world went completely silent. No beeping, no hum of machines, nothing. Just those devastating words echoing in my head.They weren’t able to save the child.A sob tore from my throat before I could stop it. “No...” Tears spilled down my cheeks, hot and relentless. “No, that can’t be right. You’re lyin

  • Goodbye, Dear Ex. Next Please   Chapter 25

    Ivy's POVThe drive to the hospital became a blur of flashing lights, frantic voices, and suffocating silence.Everything felt distant, as if I were floating outside my own body while pain anchored me firmly in place. The luxury sedan tore through the city streets with a speed that should have terrified me, but I barely registered the way we swerved between cars or the angry blare of horns fading behind us. Inside the vehicle, time stretched like taffy, every second an eternity of agony. My world had narrowed to the burning throb in my abdomen, the sticky warmth of blood still seeping, and the strong arms holding me together.Zayn refused to let go.He cradled me against his chest like I was something precious and breakable, one arm supporting my shoulders while his other hand gripped mine so tightly I could feel his pulse racing against my skin. His expensive black suit was ruined, blood stains spreading across the fabric, but he didn’t seem to notice. I could hear his heartbeat, fas
