Love me back, Ex-Wife Chapter 151
The ride back from the hospital was quiet. The city lights blurred against the car windows as Ethan drove, his hand gripping the wheel tighter than necessary. Brielle sat in the passenger seat, her gaze fixed outside, the weight of what had happened at the hospital still pressing on her chest. She hadn’t spoken since leaving the hospital, and the silence stretched thick between them.When they pulled into the driveway of Ethan’s house, he parked but didn’t get out right away. Instead, he turned toward her, his gray eyes softer now, almost hesitant.“Brielle,” he began, his voice low, “I owe you an apology. I shouldn’t have ambushed you like that. It's your place of work and I know that you worked really hard to get there. I should have been more understanding and looked for a better way to look out for you. I’m really sorry.” He apologized, his eyes holding sincerity.She turned, surprised at the humility in his tone. He looked different from the man who had stormed into the hospital

The hospital was alive with its usual rhythm—patients shuffling in and out of rooms, nurses wheeling carts down polished corridors, and the faint beeping of monitors echoing in the background. Brielle stood by the nurse’s station, exhaustion weighing on her as she reached for the paper cup of coffee someone had set down for her. She didn’t question it; everyone knew she worked long hours, and coffee was often left on her desk by a kind nurse or a colleague.Her fingers curled around the warm cup, relief flooding her at the thought of caffeine soothing her pounding headache. But before the rim touched her lips, a hand shot out, knocking the cup clean from her grasp.Hot liquid splattered across the tiles.Brielle gasped and turned sharply, only to find Ethan standing there, his eyes blazing with an intensity that froze her in place. His jaw was clenched tight, his fists trembling at his sides as though he was restraining himself.“They want you dead, Brie,” he said, his voice low but h

Jessica paced the narrow living room of Scott’s apartment, her heels clicking sharply against the polished wooden floor. Her face was filled with anger, her breath shallow and her heart hammering with fury. The moment Scott walked in, tossing his car keys carelessly on the counter, she jumped on him.“You said you’d handle it!” she snapped, her voice trembling with rage. “You promised me the phone would be gone by now.” Her chest heaved up and down as she spoke.Scott didn’t look frightened in the slightest. If anything, he looked annoyed at her outburst. He leaned lazily against the counter, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his expression maddeningly calm. His eyes, dark and calculating, flicked over her like she was nothing more than an amusing distraction.“They searched the damn house, Jessica,” he replied smoothly, his tone low, steady. “Every drawer, every corner. But the phone wasn’t there. What else did you want them to do?”Jessica froze, her eyes widening. “What do you

The drive to Ethan’s house was quiet with neither of them saying a word to each other. Brielle sat in the passenger seat, her hands folded tightly on her lap, her luggage in the trunk. She had resisted at first, but the memory of her torn-apart apartment and the chilling message on her phone had silenced her protests. Deep down, she knew Ethan was right. She was safer with him, even if her pride hated to admit it.When they pulled up to his house, Mrs. Rosa, was standing by the door as though she had been waiting for them. Her sharp eyes immediately landed on Brielle stepping out of the car, and her entire face lit up.“Oh, dear heavens,” Rosa gasped, clasping her hands together as she bustled forward. She pulled Brielle into a warm embrace before she could even speak. “Look at you. Finally, you are back.” Her eyes glistened with something close to joy as she glanced at Ethan. She leaned in slightly, lowering her voice just enough for Brielle not to hear. “You did well this time,” she

Scott’s phone buzzed later that afternoon, a sharp vibration against the small wooden table beside him. He had been sitting with his legs crossed, flipping lazily through the pages of a business magazine he had no interest in. When he saw the number flashing on the screen, his expression sharpened. He lifted the phone slowly, pressing it to his ear.“We checked with one of our men in the station,” a man’s voice reported, rough and hurried. “The phone’s not there, not in evidence, not in storage. It was processed once, but then it was signed out under Officer Joe’s name. He doesn’t have it anymore.”Scott leaned back, his jaw flexing. “Then where is it?” His tone shifted from its usual calmness to a more authoritative one, though a dangerous undercurrent hummed beneath.“We did some asking,” the man continued. “Word is, the officer passed it on. No one knows to whom, but… the timing matches. Hannah’s friend, the doctor, was there the day Joe was working the case. Brielle.”Scott’s lips

The funeral ended quietly, mourners dispersing in small groups, their voices hushed with the weight of sorrow. Brielle lingered a moment longer, her fingers brushing against the folded note Hannah’s mother had given her. Across the cemetery, Jessica was dabbing her eyes with her lace handkerchief, her performance complete. Once the last of the neighbors had gone their way, Jessica straightened her shoulders, adjusted her dress, and slid into her car.The mask of grief she had put on slipped the moment the driver pulled away from the cemetery gates. Her expression hardened and her lips pressed into a thin line.“You should have kept your mouth shut. See what your parents are having to go through because of your wrong choices.” She whispered with a heavy sigh.“You’ll be missed, my dear friend.” She said, taking one last look at Hannah’s picture in her phone before she hit the delete button.By the time they reached the city, the tears were gone and were now replaced with worry.Even th
