Loving My EX HUSBAND’S Brother Chapter 14
The smell of toast pulled me out of a thin sleep. I lay still for a minute, listening to the soft clatter of plates and the low hum of the kettle. Serena was already in the kitchen.I dragged myself up and walked out, Serena stood at the stove in an old T-shirt and shorts, hair piled messily on top of her head. When she saw me she smiled like nothing had shifted the day before.“Morning. Sit. I made eggs the way you like them.”I sat. The plate she put in front of me was warm…scrambled eggs, buttered toast, a few slices of fruit on the side. Serena is just so kind. It’s the kind of kindness that used to settle me. Today it only made the quiet in my chest louder.“You didn’t have to,” I said.“I know…but I wanted to.” She poured herself coffee and sat across from me, tucking one leg under the other. “I was thinking… the place I help out sometimes, the little design studio near the market? They’re looking for someone to answer emails and keep the files straight. Nothing heavy and it’s

I walked into the apartment that had become my temporary refuge with Serena, my heart still thudding from the encounter at the cafe. Maxwell’s face lingered behind my eyes, the careful way he had watched me, the quiet admission that he was the man who had hit me that night and then stayed until dawn. I knew I shouldn’t be thinking of him at all, afterall I am pregnant with another man’s child; Leo’s child. The thought sat heavy and complicated in my chest, yet it did nothing to stop the way my pulse had quickened when Maxwell said my name.“Hey… you’re back,” Serena said, coming out from the bedroom. She was more cheerful than when she had hurried out this morning. She wore loose jean shorts and a pink shirt with white flip-flops. Her hair was packed neatly in a bun, a single strand falling across the left side of her face. Something about her energy felt slightly off, but she seemed fine on the surface.“Yes,” I replied.“Coffee?”“Yes.” I sank onto the couch and rested one leg the

The phone rang while I was still staring at the cold eggs.Unknown number. I answered before I could stop myself.“Hello?”“Essie? This is Maxwell. I hope I’m not disturbing you.”I frowned at the wall. “Maxwell? Do I… know you?”“Not really. I’ve been trying to reach you for a while now. I just wanted to check how you are doing… and ask if you would be willing to meet. Today, if possible. Just to talk.”I took in a deep breath and there was a short silence on my end and glanced at Serena’s half-finished coffee still sitting on the counter.“Why?” I asked. “What’s this about?”I would rather explain in person. It’s nothing bad. I promise.”I hesitated, thumb pressing against the edge of the phone. Part of me wanted to hang up and the other part had been carrying that unknown number in my mind.“Fine,” I said finally. “Where?”He gave me the name of a cafe two streets over, I am not really familiar with this environment but I guess looking for this place wouldn't be too difficult. “Ok

The morning light filtered through the half-drawn curtains, soft and indifferent, as if the night before hadn’t left a bruise on everything. We sat at the small kitchen table, plates of toast and scrambled eggs between us, the coffee already cooling in our mugs. Serena pushed a piece of toast toward me with a small smile on her face.“You need to eat, Essie. Really eat. You’ve been running empty.” She reached across and squeezed my wrist. “And you need to start building again, not just surviving. Something of your own. A plan. Even if it’s small at first. I’ll help you look at options…jobs, whatever feels right. You’re not starting from nothing. You are starting from everything you’ve already survived.”I nodded, chewing slowly, the bread didn't have a taste. My mind wouldn’t stay on her words. It kept circling round divorce papers and the envelope still sitting on the counter where I had left it last night. I keep seeing Leo with that cool, final look in his eyes..the one that sai

Essie’s eyes burned as the words tore from her throat. “You… brought her here?”For one foolish, desperate second I had believed Leo had come for me. Instead he stood in Serena’s living room with Bella pressed against his side, and the old wound from yesterday ripped open all over again.Bella’s smile was pure poison. “You didn’t actually think he would come alone tonight, did you?” She stepped forward, a thin folder clutched in her manicured hand.Leo’s arm slid around Bella’s waist. He pulled her in, kissed her full on the mouth right there in front of me. I turned my face away, but the image was already in my head. My heart thumps. My baby…this tiny secret that I hadn’t told Leo about seemed to sense my panic and twist inside me.Serena moved like a shield, stepping between us. “You can step away now.” She said, her voice was ice. Serena ushered them toward the door, body blocking my view of the kiss that still lingered in the air.Leo ignored her completely. His gaze locked

The apartment felt smaller the moment the message left my phone. Like the walls had inhaled and forgotten how to breathe out again.Serena didn’t move. She just stared at the glowing screen in my hand as if it might still reverse itself, as if the words address now could be unsent by sheer force of will. “Essie.” Serena’s voice was low, careful, the way people speak when they’re trying not to startle someone. “You don’t have to open the door. You don’t owe him anything. Not the address. Not the baby. Not one more second of your life.”I pressed the heel of my hand against my stomach. Sincerely, the hope was still there, fluttering like something with broken wings that refused to die. I hated it how i felt but also needed it. Both feelings lived in the same tight space under my ribs and they were tearing each other apart.“I know,” I whispered.But knowing and doing were different countries, and right now I am sitting here quietly not knowing what I should do.My phone buzzed agai
