The morning Hailey was leaving felt heavier than the accident itself.

Sophia sat upright in the hospital bed, her leg wrapped in thick surgical braces and elevated by pillows. The room smelled faintly of antiseptic and baby powder.

Courtney stood quietly near the door holding Hailey.

Sophia couldn’t stop staring at her daughter.

The tiny baby blinked slowly, unaware that her world was about to change.

Sophia held out her arms.

“Bring her to me.”

Courtney walked over carefully and placed Hailey

  • How I Catfished my Husband and his Girlfriend   Chapter 153

    The night had settled into something… easy.Not rushed.Not forced.Just flowing.Dinner had turned into drinks.Drinks had turned into laughter by the pool.And for the first time, it didn’t feel like a decision waiting to happen—It just felt like being present.At some point, it happened naturally.Sophia found herself sitting with Jack.Away from the others.Not hidden—Just… separate.They talked easily.No pressure.No expectations.“You okay?” he asked her quietly.Sophia nodded.“I am.”And she realized—She meant it.Across the pool, Dominic sat with Gillian.Leaning in slightly.Talking.Listening.The same way Sophia was.After a while, Gillian stood and walked over toward them.Her energy calm.Confident.But respectful.She looked at Sophia first.Then at Dominic.Then asked softly—“Would you want to go somewhere more private?”The question hung in the air.Not heavy.Not demanding.Just… open.Jack didn’t move.Didn’t assume.He looked at Sophia.“We can stay right here

    A week passed.Sophia didn’t text them.Didn’t call.But she didn’t delete the number either.It sat there in her phone—Quiet.Waiting.Just like the thoughts in her head.Saturday afternoon, her phone buzzed.Unknown name.But she already knew.Gillian.Sophia stared at the screen for a second before opening it.“Hey beautiful, we had such a great time meeting you both last weekend. We were wondering if you and Dominic would like to join us for dinner tonight… maybe see where the night goes. No pressure—just good company.”Sophia’s stomach flipped.Excitement.Nerves.Fear.All at once.She read it again.And then again.Dominic walked into the room.“What’s that look for?” he asked.Sophia held up her phone.“They texted.”Dominic took a breath.“Already?”Sophia nodded.“They want to meet for dinner.”Dominic studied her.“And?”Sophia hesitated.Then said it honestly—“I want to go.”Dominic didn’t react right away.“Are you sure?”Sophia shook her head slightly.“No.”Then she a

    The music shifted.Slower.Closer.The woman reappeared beside Sophia with a soft smile.“Want to dance?” she asked.Sophia hesitated for half a second.Then glanced at Dominic.He gave a small nod—watching, not pushing.Sophia turned back.“…Okay.”The dance floor wasn’t crowded.Dim lights.Soft rhythm.The woman moved easily, confidently—nothing forced, nothing rushed.Sophia followed at first, a little stiff.Uncertain.But the woman kept it light.No pressure.Just movement.Just presence.Then something changed.Not all at once.But gradually.Sophia started to relax.Her guard lowered just enough.Her mind—finally—stopped racing.The woman leaned in slightly, her voice soft near Sophia’s ear.“You’re overthinking.”Sophia let out a quiet breath.“I know.”“Then don’t.”The space between them closed.Subtle at first.Then undeniable.Sophia felt it—That mix of adrenaline, curiosity, and something she hadn’t felt in a long time.Freedom from everything heavy.From the hurt.From

    Before Sophia could make it to the door, a couple approached them.Confident.Comfortable.Like they had done this a hundred times before.“Hey,” the man said with an easy smile. “First time?”Sophia froze slightly.Dominic answered before she could.“Yeah… it is.”The woman smiled warmly, stepping closer—not intimidating, just… welcoming.“I remember our first time,” she said, glancing at Sophia. “It can feel like a lot.”Sophia gave a small, awkward laugh.“That’s one way to put it.”They introduced themselves casually, like this was any other social setting.No pressure.No expectations.Just conversation.That alone threw Sophia off.This wasn’t what she imagined.No chaos.No one pushing boundaries.Just people… talking.The woman gently reached for Sophia’s hand.“Come with me for a second.”Sophia hesitated, glancing at Dominic.He nodded slightly.“It’s okay.”Reluctantly—Sophia followed.They sat down in a quieter area.The woman leaned in slightly, her tone calm and respect

    Dominic didn’t bring it up again right away.After Sophia shut down the idea, things went quiet for a few days.Normal on the surface.But underneath…The conversation lingered.One evening, Dominic walked in holding a small envelope.“Get dressed,” he said.Sophia looked up from the couch.“For what?”Dominic gave a slight smile.“Date night.”Sophia raised an eyebrow.“That’s new.”Dominic shrugged.“Figured we could use it.”Sophia studied him for a second…Then nodded.“Okay.”The drive felt different.Not like their usual dinners.Not casual.More… intentional.Sophia noticed the route changing.“Where are we going?”Dominic glanced at her.“Just trust me.”That phrase used to feel safe.Now—It made her pay attention.When they pulled up, Sophia immediately knew.The lighting.The atmosphere.The people outside.She turned slowly toward him.“You’ve got to be kidding me.”Dominic exhaled.“Just hear me out.”Sophia shook her head, already reaching for the door.“No.”Dominic sto

    The elevator ride was quiet.Not awkward.Heavy.Jacob stood beside her, close enough that she could feel the warmth of him through the thin fabric of her sleeve. Neither of them spoke. The alcohol had dissolved the need for conversation.Inside the room, the door clicked shut behind them.Not dram

    Sophia didn’t tell them because she needed comfort.She told them because she needed calibration.Laura’s kitchen was quiet except for the hum of the refrigerator. Lilly sat at the island. Kathy leaned against the counter, arms crossed. No one interrupted when Sophia finished speaking.She didn’t d

    Sophia didn’t tell Dominic she was going.She didn’t need permission.She didn’t need backup.She needed clarity — face to face.They agreed to meet at a quiet coffee shop halfway between neighborhoods. Neutral ground. Public. Safe.Kristi was already seated when Sophia walked in.No dramatic entra

    Dominic was waiting when she walked in.Not pacing. Not angry.Waiting.He had set the table.Candles. Wine. Music low in the background.A reconstruction of normal.Sophia took it in with one slow glance.“You don’t have to do all this,” she said, setting her bag down.“I wanted to,” he replied qu
