He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 199. Alive
Lena's PovPregnancy made evenings feel longer.By the time the sun disappeared I usually reached a point where my back ached, my ankles felt swollen and the baby seemed determined to remind me every hour that she existed. I had stopped fighting the exhaustion weeks ago. Some nights I worked late in Ethan’s office after putting Eli to sleep because the quiet helped and other nights I stayed close to the nursery folding tiny clothes that did not need folding simply because keeping my hands busy was easier than thinking.That evening sat somewhere between ordinary and heavy.Eli had refused his afternoon nap and became clingy afterward and following me from room to room with sleepy eyes while carrying one of Ethan’s old photographs in a plastic frame my father replaced twice already because Eli kept dropping it.I found him near the living room rug talking softly to the picture not real words but baby sounds. His small finger tapped Ethan’s face. “Da.”The sound stopped me halfway towa
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 198. Escape
Ethan's POVDaniel had taken me to a safe house nearly an hour outside Lake Como while we waited for the private jet to arrive. I still did not remember much and the missing pieces frustrated me more now because every answer created ten new questions but I remembered enough to know Lena was my wife and enough to know we had a son named Eli and another baby on the way. My daughter or at least I thought it was one daughter.The articles only said pregnancy everything else I learned through photographs and strangers and the realization still sat badly inside me because fathers are supposed to know these things.I stood near the window of the small house Daniel rented under a fake name while rain moved steadily over the trees outside. The place looked temporary it has bare furniture and one suitcase near the door and bottle of whiskey untouched on the counter.Daniel sat at the kitchen table with two phones and a laptop open in front of him while speaking quietly to somebody. "No, do not
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 197. Loose ends
Maya's POVPeople always assume obsession begins loudly they imagine madness appearing overnight and turning ordinary people cruel in a single moment but the truth is uglier because obsession grows quietly.It starts with wanting to be chosen then wanting to matter and then wanting somebody to look at you the way they look at someone else and eventually wanting turns into needing and somewhere between need and desperation you stop recognizing yourself.I used to think Ethan would love me when we were younger and Lena followed him everywhere after his parents took her in but later I thought if I stayed close enough and patient enough he would eventually see me then years passed and he never did because Ethan Carter loved one woman with a loyalty rare enough to make other people jealous.Lena it was always Lena even after arguments even after divorce and even after grief and the problem with women like Lena is they do not realize what it feels like standing beside them your entire life
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 196. Daniel
Daniel's PovPeople think loyalty ends when somebody dies but I learned seven months ago that it does not. Loyalty becomes something heavier after death because suddenly you carry pieces of a person they left behind. Their family their secrets their unfinished work their wife and their children.I stopped sleeping properly the day we buried Ethan. No not buried because we buried an empty damn casket because nobody found enough of him to prove anything.I still remembered standing beside Victor while rain soaked through my suit and Lena stared ahead holding Eli in her arms. She looked pale that day everybody cried. Caroline nearly broke, John looked ten years older, Keenan drank himself sick afterward and Victor stayed quiet.Lena thanked people for flowers and I hated that most because women should not thank people at their husband's funeral while carrying a baby afterward she sat beside the casket long after everyone left. I remember because I stayed back she looked at the wood and w
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 195. The Dead Man Calls
Lena's POVPregnancy made nights harder lately because exhaustion settled into my body differently this time and no amount of sleep seemed enough. By afternoon I already felt drained and the baby had been moving almost constantly which usually meant my back hurt by evening.I sat in Ethan's office going through contracts while Eli slept on the sofa beneath a blanket. One of his tiny socks had somehow disappeared again and I already knew I would spend twenty minutes looking for it later only to find it inside one of Ethan's old shoes or hidden under a cushion.Children made strange decisions.The office looked less intimidating these days not because it changed because I had.Months ago walking in here felt wrong like I was touching pieces of Ethan that still belonged to him, but somewhere between grief and responsibility his desk became where I worked and his company slowly became something I stopped fearing.I hated admitting that sometimes because surviving without him still felt li
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 194. The call
Ethan's povI spent most of the next day trying to convince myself that overhearing Maya's call meant nothing because people argue and they hide things and maybe Ryan was an old contact of Maya's and maybe the fact that he was in prison had absolutely nothing to do with me. The problem was that every explanation I gave myself sounded weaker the longer I sat with it because suspicion changes the way you look at people.Once doubt appears it spreads and I started to noticed everything now from the way Maya answered questions too quickly whenever I mentioned Lena the way every story about my past sounded rehearsed, almost polished and the way entire years of my life felt empty while emotions remained painfully strong.I remembered love without remembering who I loved I remembered grief without understanding what I lost and nothing made sense anymore.By breakfast exhaustion sat heavy behind my eyes because sleep had become frustrating lately. I either dreamed too much or not at all, and

Lena’s POVThe clinic smelled like disinfectant and cheap coffee and for some reason that combination makes my stomach roll before I even sit down.Keenan notices right away. "Are you okay,” he asks, lowering his voice even though no one in the waiting room is paying us any attention. “You went kin

Ethan’s POVThe thing about bad news is it rarely shows up dressed like bad news most of the time it walks in wearing a suit, carrying a folder and smiling like it belongs there.I’m halfway through my second coffee when the email comes in. It wasn't marked urgent or flagged, just another update bu

Ryan’s POVI don’t meet Donavan in his office because I don’t want glass walls and assistants pretending not to hear things. I don’t want suits and fake smiles and polite voices. I want somewhere loud, somewhere rough, somewhere no one gives a damn if two men sound like they’re about to tear into e

Ryan’s POVI pick the place because it’s loud.That’s the first rule you don’t meet someone like Donavan in a quiet room, you meet him somewhere with noise and movement and too many people half listening. Somewhere where words get swallowed before they land.The bar smells like old beer and fried f
