Third POV

Prison had never been quiet the walls carried every sound, metal doors slamming, guards shouting orders women arguing down the hall and the echo of footsteps that never really stopped but the worst sound inside that place was laughter not happy laughter cruel laughter.

  • He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary   132. Maya’s watching

    Maya’s POVI wasn’t supposed to be here.That’s what he said.Stay invisible. Stay controlled. Don’t make noise.I agreed.I even meant it… for a while.But that was before I saw them.Before I saw what they’re pretending to be now.A family.I sit in the car with the engine off, the night wrapped tightly around me, the house just visible through the trees. The lights inside are warm. Soft. The kind of light people choose when they feel safe.I hate it.My fingers tighten around the steering wheel as I watch the front window, my eyes barely blinking.He’s there.Of course he is.Ethan.Moving around like he belongs there. Like nothing ever happened. Like he didn’t walk away from everything we were building together.Like he didn’t choose her.Again.My jaw tightens.“She doesn’t even deserve that life,” I whisper under my breath.Because she doesn’t.She never did.She just got lucky.That’s all Lena has ever been.Lucky.Lucky that people felt sorry for her.Lucky that she was always

  • He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary   131. Almost Again

    Lena’s POVThe house is finally quiet again but I still can’t sleep.I lie in bed staring at the ceiling, Eli’s monitor glowing softly on the nightstand beside me the steady sound of his breathing coming through like a reminder that something in my life is still simple still good.Everything else feels like it is shifting too fast it all sits in my chest like something I can’t set down I turn onto my side closing my eyes, but it doesn’t help it never does when my mind won’t slow down after a few minutes I push the covers off and sit up running a hand through my hair.I just need air I step out of my room quietly, not wanting to wake anyone and walk down the hallway toward the living room the lights are dim and he’s already there.Ethan, sitting on the couch, leaning forward slightly his elbows on his knees like he has been thinking about something for a while.He looks up the moment he hears me. “You okay?” he asks.I let out a small breath shaking my head as I walk in. “Not really,”

  • He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary   130. Running Out of Control

    Ryan’s POVI don’t move for a long time the screen keeps playing the same footage over and over again but I barely register the words anymore. It was the images that won’t leave me alone.Samuel being led out and Chanel right behind him as cameras flashing like it was some kind of show like everything we built was just something for people to watch fall apart.My jaw tightens as I drag a hand down my face, pacing once then again like movement might somehow change what I’m seeing but it doesn’t.“This isn’t possible,” I mutter more to myself than anything else because it shouldn’t be we covered everything. every angle and every risk nothing was supposed to trace back like this nothing was supposed to fall apart this fast.I grab the remote and turn the volume up needing to hear something—anything that tells me this is temporary.“…multiple charges including murder, attempted murder, financial fraud—”I turn it off again too loud and too real.My chest feels tight like something is clos

  • He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary   129. When the world finds out

    Third Person POVThe news doesn’t break all at once it starts small a notification, a headline, a message someone almost ignores and then it spreads too fast to stop.By the time the first video hits the major networks, it was already everywhere shared, reposted, talked about before anyone even understands the full story.Police cars line the long driveway of the Miller estate, lights flashing against the clean white walls that always looked untouchable. Officers move with purpose, not hesitation, and the gates that once kept the world out are wide open.Cameras catch everything as the front doors open and Samuel steps out first.He doesn’t look like a man who thinks he has lost. His shoulders are still straight, his expression controlled, but there was something tight around his eyes that wasn’t there before something that gives him away if you are paying attention.Behind him Chanel is already arguing with one of the officers, her voice sharp, her movements restless she is trying to

  • He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary   128. Daughter

    Lena’s POVI don’t cry not at first I just stand there staring at him like if I look long enough something will make sense like my brain will catch up to what he just said and tell me this isn’t real but it is.Every word he spoke is still sitting in the room heavy and impossible to ignore.My chest feels tight too tight like I forgot how to breathe properly.“You are lying,” I say but my voice doesn’t have any strength behind it.Because part of me already knows he is not he doesn’t react to the accusation, oesn’t get defensive and he doesn’t raise his voice he just stands there and waits and that makes it worse.“I don’t remember you,” I say, shaking my head slowly. “I don’t remember anything like that.”“You were a baby,” he replies quietly. “You wouldn’t.”That lands hard I swallow my throat dry. “So I’m just supposed to believe that you what? Left me somewhere and watched me from a distance like that makes it better?”“No,” he says. “I don’t expect you to believe anything without

  • He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary   127. The Truth He Carried

    Victor’s POVShe lets me in I didn’t expect that.I thought she would shut the door in my face before I could say a single word but instead she steps back just enough to let me enter her eyes locked on me like she was trying to figure out whether I’m real or just another problem she didn’t ask for.The door closes behind me and the silence that follows feels heavier than anything I have carried in years.She doesn’t sit and she doesn’t offer me anything she stands across from me her arms wrapped around herself, her body tense like she is ready to either run or fight.“Talk,” she says.No warmth and no patience just that one word.I nod slowly. “My name is Victor Miller.”The reaction is instant her face tightens, her brows pulling together as she shakes her head. “No, that is not funny.”“I’m not joking.”“Victor Miller is dead,” she snaps. “So whatever game you are playing—”“I was supposed to be,” I cut in quietly.That stops her. Her eyes narrow as she studies me, searching for cra
