ALEXANDER'S POV

The next morning, I open my eyes slowly, blinking against the light. For a moment, I just listen. I can hear the soft clinking of pots and the sounds of giggling from the kitchen.

I get up and make my way to the kitchen.

And there she is.

Mia stands barefoot at the counter. Her hair falls loose down her back. She is dressed in one of my oversized shirts. Wendy, still in her pajamas, sits cross-legged on the counter beside her, watching intently as Mia cracks eggs into a pan like it is some sort of magic trick.

My heart swells.

This.

This is everything.

I wrap my arms around Mia from behind. She lets out a tiny squeak of surprise before melting into my embrace.

“Good morning,” I murmur, pressing a kiss just below her ear.

“You’re warm,” she whispers with a smile, leaning back into me.

“Good morning,” I say.

“Good morning.”

From the counter, Wendy makes a gagging sound. “Ugh. Gross. Why are you always kissing her?”

I turn, grinning. “Because she’s pretty, and I like kiss

  • MY EX PUT ME IN JAIL AND NOW HE WANTS ME BACK   Chapter 122

    ALEXANDER’S POVIt’s quiet again.Not the kind of quiet that makes you scared because you think something bad is going to happen. This silence is softer, easier. It fills the cabin and it makes me breathe better.It’s been a month since the Camille incident. One month.It feels longer.Sometimes, I forget how much blood it took to get here.Other times, I remember too well.Wendy’s sitting at the table, feet swinging just above the floor. She has on her school uniform that is way bigger than her. I never fail to tease her about it. Her backpack’s nearly as big as she is. She’s quiet, nervously poking her spoon into her oatmeal.I watch her from the doorway, leaning against the frame. My coffee is in my hand and my heart is full in a way I never thought possible.“Cereal’s for amateurs,” I say, stepping inside. “Only the bravest eat oatmeal on the first day of school.”Wendy cracks a smile. “It’s gross,” she whispers.“Well, it builds character,” I say, walking over. “Or so your mom te

    MIA’S POVThe world is a blur of red dust and roaring engines. My feet are bare, torn.I can feel them bleeding on the tarmac, but I don’t feel the pain. Not really. Not when the only thing I can see is her. My baby.Wendy.She’s crying. I can tell from here, even if I can’t hear it over the spinning hell of the plane’s turbines. Camille’s dragging her dragging her and I’m too far, too slow.“No!” I cry.My skull hurts like it might split in two. Every breath tastes like I have blood in my mouth. My whole body feels like it’s on fire due to the pain. My legs almost buckle, but I force them forward. One step. Then another. I scream her name. “WENDY!”Camille doesn’t hear me. Not yet.I reach the truck. My fingers barely work as I grab the door handle. The door gives and I pull it open with all the strength I have left.“Mommy!” Wendy sobs and throws herself into my arms. Her face presses against my chest. Her little hands hold on to me like she’s afraid I’ll disappear.“I’ve got you,”

    Alexander’s POVI can barely move. My shoulder burns like fire has eaten through it. Every breath is painful. My vision tilts, blurs. But I don’t take my eyes off that truck, not until the red taillights vanish into the trees.They’re gone.Mia. Wendy.Gone.“No…” My voice cracks. “No. No, please…”I drag myself inch by inch across the floor of the wrecked cabin. Splinters tear into my skin, but I don’t stop. I can’t. My shaking hand reaches for the shattered doorway, pulling myself out onto the porch.Blood pours freely down my arm and onto the wood. My head spins, vision doubling. I collapse onto my side and fumble in my back pocket.Phone. Where the hell is it—I grit my teeth and drag it out.I open my contacts, squinting till I get to one name. The same man I told Mia to run to in case of anything.Connor Callahan.I hit Call.The line rings. Once. Twice. Three times.I cough, blood spilling over my lips. My hand is slick. “Come on… come on…”Click.“Yeah,” comes a deep voice on

    ALEXANDER'S POVWendy is fast asleep now inside, curled up in a blanket with her stuffed bear tucked tightly under one arm. Her chest rises and falls and her soft snores fill the quiet space. I just want to protect her forever.Mia sits beside me on the floor. Her head leans lightly on my shoulder. Her hand is tucked in mine. We haven’t moved much since the story ended. The silence between us has turned comfortable. Outside the window, stars stretch across the night sky. It is the perfect timing. It is the perfect night for what I am about to do.I glance down at her hand in mine. I look at her fingers I’ve memorized the feel of, the strength in them, the way they always find me even in the dark.My heart kicks hard against my ribs. The moment has come.I ease myself upright, careful not to wake Wendy. “Mia,” I whisper.She looks up at me with sleepy curiosity. Her brows slightly furrow. “Hmm?”I stand, feeling my heart rate increase. "Come with me. Just for a minute.”She tilts her h

    MIA'S POVThe city fades behind us like a bad dream I’m finally waking from. The tall buildings melt into silhouettes. I watch them shrink in the rearview mirror.There’s silence in the car. It’s not heavy, not anymore. It’s a silence I can breathe in.Wendy is curled in the backseat. Her little fingers are wrapped tightly around her stuffed bear, the one with the torn ear and button eyes that have seen more than they ever should’ve. I glance back at her again, just to make sure she’s still there—safe, whole. It hits me, suddenly, how close I came to losing her. How close I came to losing everything.Alexander is quiet. His fingers drum the steering wheel in a soft, steady rhythm, like he’s playing a song only he can hear. His face is calm—too calm—but I know better. That man doesn’t waste energy worrying out loud, but I’ve learned to read between the lines of his silences. I look at him, study the sharp angles of his jaw, the way his eyes flick toward the rearview mirror every few se
