The first morning Dominic woke up at home, he didn’t recognize the silence.

No radios.

No engines.

No distant explosions.

Just the soft sound of children breathing.

He opened his eyes slowly.

Sophia was asleep beside him, her hair spread across the pillow. For the first time in months, he had slept without boots nearby or a weapon within reach.

Dominic sat up carefully.

Across the room the twins were sleeping in their bassinets, and Hailey had somehow climbed halfway out of her toddler bed.

  • How I Catfished my Husband and his Girlfriend   Chapter 249

    Summer seemed to arrive all at once after they returned from Hawaii.The days grew longer.The evenings warmer.The backyard became the center of family life again.Every Friday night turned into some kind of gathering.Sometimes it was just family.Sometimes friends stopped by.Sometimes neighbors wandered over after seeing smoke from Dominic's grill and wanting to see whether dinner was being made or whether the fire department needed to be called.The answer varied.One evening, nearly two months after Hawaii, Sophia sat at the patio table watching the sunset while the kids played basketball in the driveway.Dominic was grilling.Successfully, for once.Patrick was arguing with Pasquale about football.Neither of them actually cared what they were arguing about.They simply enjoyed arguing.Sophia smiled as she watched them.Life had become wonderfully ordinary.And ordinary had become her favorite thing.The back door opened and one of the kids came running outside."Mom!"Sophia

    For the first time in a long time, Sophia felt completely exposed.And strangely enough—it felt good.The secret had sat between them for so long that she had almost convinced herself it was protecting them.Protecting Dominic.Protecting their marriage.Protecting the fragile peace they had worked so hard to rebuild.But standing there on the beach, listening to the waves crash against the shore, she realized something.Secrets never really protected relationships.Truth did.Even when it was messy.Even when it was uncomfortable.Even when it made you look foolish.Dominic wrapped an arm around her shoulders as they continued walking.The sand was cool beneath their feet.The last traces of sunlight disappearing into the horizon."You know what the craziest part is?" Dominic asked.Sophia laughed."There's a lot of competition for that title."He smiled."I always thought I knew exactly how strong you were."Sophia looked over at him."And?"Dominic shook his head."I had no idea."

    The next few weeks passed differently than Sophia expected.Not perfectly.Not magically.But differently.For the first few days, she still checked the windows.Still looked over her shoulder in parking lots.Still felt a small knot in her stomach every time her phone buzzed.Trauma didn't disappear overnight.But slowly—life began reclaiming the space fear had occupied.The kids settled into their routines again.School.Activities.Friends.Their laughter filled the house more often than silence did.And every time Sophia heard it, she felt a little more certain she had made the right decisions.One Saturday morning, she sat at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee while the kids argued over pancakes.Dominic was making breakfast.Badly."You're burning them," Sophia called from the table."I am not."The smoke detector immediately proved otherwise.The kids erupted into laughter.Sophia laughed so hard she nearly spilled her coffee.For a brief moment, the entire house felt ligh

    Sophia didn't dream that night.For the first time in what felt like months, she simply slept.Deeply.Peacefully.Without waking every hour to check her phone.Without wondering if headlights were passing the house.Without listening for a knock at the door.When morning finally came, sunlight slipped through the curtains and landed across the bedroom.Sophia stirred slowly.Confused at first.Then she realized something.Nothing had happened.No emergency.No midnight calls.No crisis.The silence had lasted all night.She rolled over and saw Dominic already awake beside her.He was staring at the ceiling.Thinking.When he noticed she was awake, he smiled.A real smile.Not the strained one she'd seen for weeks."Morning."Sophia stretched.For the first time in days, her body didn't feel like it was carrying a thousand pounds."What time is it?""Almost eight."Sophia blinked.She hadn't slept that late in ages.Dominic laughed softly."You were exhausted."Sophia nodded.She knew

    That night felt different.Not because anyone said it out loud.Not because there was some dramatic announcement that everything was finally over.It felt different because for the first time in what seemed like forever, the house sounded like a home again.The kids were laughing upstairs.A movie played quietly in the background.Dominic had actually sat down and finished an entire meal without jumping up every five minutes to check the windows.Patrick wasn't monitoring cameras every thirty seconds.Even Pasquale seemed more relaxed than he had been since arriving.Not relaxed enough to let his guard down.But relaxed enough to sit quietly in the living room and simply watch his grandchildren play.For Sophia, that alone was worth everything.The evening stretched on.Nine o'clock became ten.Ten became eleven.Still no calls.Still no texts.Still no mysterious cars driving slowly down the street.Sophia caught herself checking her phone again.Nothing.Not a single notification.D

    Kristi's voice continued echoing across the parking lot long after she was being escorted away."This isn't over!""You'll regret this!""You all lied about me!"Each shout sounded weaker than the one before.Not because she was running out of things to say.Because she was losing her audience.The crowd that had gathered was no longer looking at Sophia.They were looking at Kristi.Watching the outburst.Watching the escalation.Watching the very behavior Sophia had been trying to explain for days.Sophia stood completely still.For the first time since all of this started, she wasn't trying to convince anyone of anything.She didn't have to.The truth had spoken for itself.As the vehicles pulled away, the parking lot slowly began returning to normal.People got back into their cars.Employees went back inside.The manager approached cautiously."Ma'am, are you alright?"Sophia nodded slowly."I think so."But the words felt strange.Because she wasn't sure she remembered what "alri

    The days blurred quickly as the wedding approached, but life had a way of throwing curveballs even into the most meticulously planned moments. Dominic’s orders came through: he had to attend Sergeant School for a month before the wedding. It was non-negotiab

    Sophia moved to the back of the house, her hand lightly resting on the railing of the second-story balcony. The security cameras gave her a perfect view of the driveway, the dark silhouettes of trees framing John’s truck like a scene from a movie she never wanted to star in.Patrick and Angelo flan

    Morning came slowly over the estate, the soft Texas sunlight slipping through the tall windows of Sophia’s room. She hadn’t slept much. Every time she closed her eyes, flashes of the night before crept in—John’s anger, the way Patrick stepped between them, the sound of Angelo pulling his gun.But i

    Sophia sat very still after that.“When you grow up watched,” she said quietly, “you start to internalize it.”Jacob frowned. “Internalize what?”“The gaze.”Lily understood first.“You became self-monitoring,” she said.“Yes.”Sophia folded her arms loosely, not defensive — contained.“I didn’t re
