The sun was dipping low when Brielle stepped out of the hospital beside Professor James. The late evening air carried the faint scent of baked food from a street vendor nearby, blending with the noise of car horns and hurried footsteps, all eager to get home after a stressful day at work. She had expected an awkward silence as they left together, but James slipped easily into conversation, his tone light and comfortable.

“I know a small restaurant a few blocks away. Why don’t we go there? It isn’t so late yet so maybe we can still catch up before heading home?” James suggested, adjusting his collar.

Brielle didn’t waste a second before nodding. “That sounds nice.”

The restaurant they chose wasn’t crowded. A few families sat by the windows, children laughing while their parents scolded gently. The low hum of chatter created a cozy atmosphere. They picked a corner table, away from the crowd. The waiter brought menus, but Brielle barely glanced at hers. She realized with a small smile t

    “I’m pregnant.”There was an eerie silence in the dining room as soon as the words left Brielle’s lips. She looked at Ethan intently, searching for any kind of reaction from him but, she got nothing.He had blanked out…completely.Minutes passed and not even a sound had left his lips. He just stared at her like he was looking at a ghost.Not being able to take the silence anymore, Brielle spoke. “Ethan?” She called out.Nothing.“Ethan?” Still no response.“Ethan!?” She raised her voice, slamming her hands on the table. Her heart was starting to race as the thought that he might hate the idea of having a child entered her head.He blinked, clearly coming out of whatever daze he was in. “Did you hear what I said?” She asked.His mouth opened…then closed. Then, it opened again but no words came out.He couldn’t find his voice.“I said I am pregnant, Ethan. We’re having a baby.” She said more clearly and his eyes widened, his breath loud enough for her to hear.“Ethan!”The chair scraped

    “I think I’m ready to tell Ethan about the baby,” Brielle said after taking deep breaths, her heart still pounding.“Oh…” Ella responded, her tone unsure.“What is it?” Brielle asked, her heart dropping at Ella’s tone. She didn’t expect Ella to be excited about the idea, but that certainly wasn’t the reaction she expected.“Honey, I’m just shocked. That’s all.” Ella confessed, making Brielle more nervous than she already was.“The reason you didn’t want to tell him about the pregnancy was because you felt he was too irresponsible to father your child and you didn’t want your child to be raised by someone like Ethan. Why the change of heart?” Ella asked, sounding genuinely concerned for her friend and future godchild.Brielle exhaled, “While I cannot say that Ethan has had a complete 360 change, I can say that he has shown a little change, and that is enough for me, Ella. It’s not like I’m accepting him back into my life. That chapter is closed, Ella. But, the child is his as much as i

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 168

    Two Days LaterA groan leaves Jessica’s lips as she stirs awake on the cold, hard floor, her body instantly recognizing the harsh sleeping environment. She tries to sit up but a sharp pain in her back forces her down. She hisses immediately, cursing Brielle and Ethan for putting her in this situation.“I’m pregnant for fuck’s sake. I shouldn’t be sleeping on the floor.” She grumbled, blinking the tears away.A ruffle is heard from the other side of the holding cell and a chuckle follows. “Then don’t commit crimes. If you care so much about your child, you wouldn’t have tried to kill someone.” An older lady who had been in the cell a few hours before her said, sounding annoyed at her groaning.Jessica rolled her eyes. “I don’t remember talking to you. Why don’t you mind your business?” She answered in an irritated tone then turned away.“I’ll watch my tone if I were you.” The woman said, feeling offended at Jessica’s words. “You wouldn’t want to get on my bad side. We might share a roo

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 167

    The police station smelled faintly of coffee and disinfectant, the usual blend of late nights and weary officers. Brielle sat across from Officer Joe, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her knuckles pale from the pressure. Ethan stood beside her, his arms crossed, his tall frame tense with impatience.“Nothing?” Brielle’s voice broke, a fragile mix of disbelief and frustration.Joe sighed, sliding a folder across the table. “She must have known we’d try to check her phone. Every trace of data—messages, call history, apps—completely wiped. Whoever did it knew what they were doing.”Brielle’s heart sank. She leaned back in her chair, staring at the blank wall behind him. The image of Hannah’s bruised face, the sound of her fragile voice asking for help, rushed back into her mind. The phone was supposed to be their weapon, their chance to expose Jessica for what she had done. Now, it felt like sand slipping through her fingers.Ethan’s voice cut into the silence, low but sharp. “So yo

    The day was dragging on like a shadow that refused to lift. Brielle had barely managed to keep herself focused on her rounds at the hospital when her phone buzzed against the desk. She wiped her palms on her coat before picking it up, not prepared for the voice that came through.“Mrs. Rayne?”It was Officer Joe. His tone was low, firm, and Brielle’s heart lurched in her chest. “Yes, Officer. What’s wrong? Please tell me it’s not bad news again.”There was a pause, the kind of pause that carried weight. Then, he said, “Jessica Owen has been arrested. She’s in custody now.”For a long moment, Brielle simply sat frozen in her chair, the words replaying in her mind. Then, a sharp breath escaped her lips, and the relief hit her like cool rain on a scorching day. Her shoulders sagged as though someone had just removed a boulder from her chest.“Arrested?” she whispered, clutching the phone tighter. “Are you serious?”“I wouldn’t call if I wasn’t. We’ve gathered enough to hold her. Attempte

    Ethan had spent the entire morning pacing in his office, restless energy refusing to leave his body. For days, he had been waiting for this moment—waiting until the weight of Jessica’s manipulations no longer hovered over him like a storm cloud. Now, with the air a little clearer and his heart lighter, he decided it was time to do something he had not done in a long while: take Brielle out on a proper date. Not as an obligation, not as a performance for the world, but as a man who wanted to win back the woman who still haunted his every thought.When Brielle returned from her shift at the hospital, she found a large box waiting on her bed. She frowned, curiosity tightening her brows. Gently, she unwrapped it and gasped at the sight. Inside was a beautiful blue dress, elegant and soft to the touch, the kind of fabric that whispered against the skin like silk. Nestled beside it was a small velvet box. Opening it revealed a delicate set of jewelry: a silver chain, earrings, and a bracele
