Chapter 50_Laura's pov

The hospital doors slid shut behind me. I tightened my grip on my bag as Daniel opened the car door for me.

“You don’t have to go to the office today,” he said again, his voice calm but firm, like if he repeated it enough times I would finally agree.

“I do,” I replied, already lowering myself into the passenger seat. My head still throbbed faintly, but it was manageable. What wasn’t manageable was sitting at home, waiting and wondering. “If I go home now, I’ll just think myself into madness.”

Daniel studied me for a moment, then shut the door and walked around to the driver’s side. He didn’t argue again, but I could feel his worry filling the space between us as the engine started.

Catherine and Adrian had already left earlier, Enzo cradled carefully between them. Watching them walk away with my baby had twisted something in my chest, gratitude and fear tangled together. Gratitude that Enzo was safe. Fear because I didn’t know how long that safety would last.

  • I Didn’t Mean to Divorce You    Chapter 49

    Chapter 49–Laura's Pov The first thing I felt was pain.A dull, throbbing ache pulsed behind my eyes, spreading slowly across my skull. I groaned tiredly and tried to turn my head, but the movement sent a sharp warning through my temples. My eyelids felt heavy, as if they were glued shut, and for a brief, terrifying second, I wondered if I’d gone blind.Then a sound crept in.The steady beep… beep… beep of a machine. Muffled voices and the faint smell of antiseptic.Hospital.The realization snapped my eyes open.The white ceilings stared back at me. I blinked several times, my vision swimming before finally settling. A hospital bed, IV stand.My heart began to race.“How…?” My voice came out hoarse, barely more than a whisper.I pushed myself up on my elbows, ignoring the protest from my head. The movement made the room spin, and I sucked in a breath, waiting for the dizziness to pass.That was when I saw them.Daniel was standing near the window, his shoulders tense, his phone clut

  • I Didn’t Mean to Divorce You    Chapter 48

    Chapter 48–Laura’s POVMy thumb hovered over the call button longer than it should have.I’d already tried several times today. if I was being honest. I told myself not to call again and find the truth myself, but I still need him in this case. Still, I pressed his number and called him. The phone rang twice.Then...“Hello.”“You picked up,” I said, breathless, like I’d been running.“You shouldn’t be calling me from anywhere familiar,” he replied quietly.“I’m not,” I said quickly. “Where are you?”There was silence on the line. “Same directions as before,” he finally said. “But listen carefully. Don’t come if you think you were being followed.”“I wasn’t.”“Are you sure?”I answered confusedly. “Yes.”“Then hurry,” he said. “I can’t stay long.”The call ended before I could ask anything else.I stood there for a second, my phone pressed to my ear, staring at nothing. Then I grabbed my bag and left.The drive felt longer than before. I kept checking my mirrors, half-expecting to s

  • I Didn’t Mean to Divorce You    Chapter 47

    Chapter 47–Aryn’s POVThe moment Laura walked out of the security room, I almost laughed but I cautioned myself.I kept my face calm but inside, something warm and vicious curled in my chest. Satisfaction, relief and victory. The cameras had worked exactly the way they were supposed to. I can't be more happy to have guessed correctly that she will check the camera. Having money and being popular is so good, how would it have been able to get a scapegoat that easily.The best part of it, Daniel believed me not her. As in, he believed me. I badly wanted to squeal but I had to hold it in.I replayed it in my head as I walked back toward my office, his hesitation, the way his eyes softened just a little when he looked at me, the way he asked Laura to apologize. I felt the moment settle into me.Laura apologizing.God, I want more of this moment.If I had let myself smile, it would have been too much.I closed my office door behind me and finally allowed my face to change. The pity draine

  • I Didn’t Mean to Divorce You    Chapter 46

    Chapter 46—Michael’s POVThe fifth day arrived with no mercy.I sat in the conference room ten minutes before the investors arrived, staring at the glass table as if it might suddenly change the reality in front of me. My phone lay face down beside my hand. I already knew what was on it were missed calls, reminders and warnings from the investors. I did not need to look at it.I had failed them.The stolen goods were still missing and I was unable to track it. I did all my best but it was all futile.And without them, everything else unraveled.The door opened one by one as the investors entered. There were six of them today, fewer than usual. That alone told me something. This was not a discussion, this was an execution.One of them, Mr. Collins, sat directly across from me and folded his hands. “Mr Michael,” he said calmly, “today is the fifth day.”“I’m aware,” I replied.“You promised us a full recovery within five days.”“I promised effort and progress,” I said carefully.Another

  • I Didn’t Mean to Divorce You    Chapter 45

    Chapter 45–Laura’s POVI headed straight for security. I knew that the answers were on those cameras. “Good morning,” I said to the security officer. “I need to see the CCTV footage from my office this morning."He pulled up the feed, and I leaned forward, my eyes scanning every frame.The first shots showed me entering the office, placing the file neatly on my desk. I remembered that moment clearly. I watched as I left for the small brewing station. Then the door opened after I left.Aryn walked in shaking badly.I leaned closer to the screen. There was no mistaking her. She searched around my table till she finally saw the file. She picked up the file, flipped through it for a few seconds, heaved a sigh of relief and left.“That’s her” I whispered. My pulse was quickening.The officer didn’t speak. He simply let the footage replay twice more. I watched every movement, every detail. I couldn’t be wrong.I thanked him without waiting for a response and left. I needed answers, and I
