RAYMOND

I didn’t see it coming.

Elle’s voice was quiet when she said she would be leaving.

For a moment, I froze. My brain simply trying to process the words. My hand, which had been offering silent support at her back, gave a sudden, surprised squeeze.

I kept my face rigid, forcing the shock down, knowing any argument would shatter her entirely.

Rosetta blinked rapidly, her mouth falling open.

“Leaving? Elle, what do you mean?” She shifted her baby to her shoulder, frowning.

  • Married to my ex-husband's boss   Chapter 110

    ELLE EPILOGUE Eight months later The house looked like it had been hit by a hurricane. There were open suitcases and half-folded clothes everywhere. Raymond kept insisting he had packed everything essential, but judging by the lone sock sticking out of the side of his duffel bag, I suspected otherwise. “We are only going for a week, not relocating to another continent,” I teased as I folded Mica’s tiny sundresses into her bag. Raymond lifted an eyebrow. “I’m just being prepared.” “For what? A family vacation or a natural disaster?” He smirked. “Both. You never know.” Mica skipped into the room with her pink backpack bouncing behind her like a tail. “Mommy! Daddy! I’m ready! I even packed my teddy and my crayons and the drawing I made for the baby so he won’t be scared in your tummy during the airplane flight.” I smiled and cupped her little chin. “That’s very thoughtful, sweetheart.” She beamed with so much that she actually looked like the sun. Which she actually was t

  • Married to my ex-husband's boss   Chapter 109

    ELLE FIVE YEARS LATER The hospital felt so cold I thought I was at the North Pole. I stood just outside the consultation room, the test results trembling slightly in my hand. Pregnant. Again. My breath caught as the words echoed in my mind. For a moment, joy flickered through me. A baby. A new life. Another little heartbeat growing inside me. But the joy was swallowed quickly by something else. A familiar dread crept up my spine and wrapped tight around my chest. I thought I had healed. I thought time had stitched every broken piece. But holding that paper made something inside me tremble. What if something happened again? What if danger found its way back into our lives? By the time I reached the parking lot, my hands were cold. What if I could not protect this baby? What if my past repeats itself? What if peace was never meant for someone like me? Even though Evans was gone. Melody was gone. The threats were gone. I still wasn't at peace. I guess fear had a way of

  • Married to my ex-husband's boss   Chapter 108

    ELLE A year passed before I even realized it. A year since the trial. A year since the screaming, the sentencing, the nightmares. A year since the deaths of Evans and Melody. A year since I held Raymond’s hand in that cold courtroom and told myself we would survive. And somehow… we did. Today was proof of that survival, because it was my daughter’s first birthday. Raymond and I decided to make it special, celebrating it in the best way possible. Balloons floated along the ceiling like little planets in the sky. It was a mix of different shades of pink, gold, and soft lavender. The living room looked like we were celebrating a princess from a Royal family. We might not be royals, but Mira—my baby, my little miracle—was definitely a princess. We had made sure to invite all our loved ones. We wanted to share the moment with them. Someone turned on music and the speakers hummed with joyful melodies. The smell of grilled food mingled with vanilla frosting and the sugary scent o

  • Married to my ex-husband's boss   Chapter 107

    ELLE The day Raymond opened his eyes felt unreal, almost dreamlike. I refused to leave him. I sat beside him, brushing my fingers over his hand every few minutes just to reassure myself that the life in him was real and not another cruel trick of hope. So when the door opened and two officers stepped in, their footsteps sharp and their expressions solemn, the fragile peace inside the room trembled. A male officer and a female officer stood in the doorway, both wearing that heavy, unreadable look that usually came before news no one wanted to hear. The female officer cleared her throat. “Mr. and Mrs. Orlando?” My heart tightened again. Fear was a habit my body could not unlearn overnight. “Yes,” I said quietly for both of us. I moved closer to Raymond, as if proximity alone could shield us from whatever came next. The officer nodded. “We came with an update regarding the suspects. Luckily, Melody Nelson and Evans Decker were both apprehended yesterday. They sustained a few inj

  • Married to my ex-husband's boss   Chapter 106

    ELLE The officer burst out of the water, dragging Raymond with him. Raymond’s body was limp, soaked, and lifeless. Water streamed from his clothes, his hair, and his mouth. His skin was pale—too pale. His lips were tinged blue. They hauled him onto the ground. “BEGIN CPR!” an officer ordered immediately. “GO!” They started compressions on him—hard, fast, and forceful. There was nothing. "Again!" The offer yelled. Still, there was nothing. “Where’s the ambulance?!” “Two minutes out!” “Shit! Well, don't stop! Keep going!” They kept pushing. Breath. Compression. Breath. Compression. But Raymond didn’t move. His chest stayed still. His pulse didn’t return. One officer paused just long enough to exchange a grim, devastating look with another. “We’re losing him. Load him up, now!” They lifted him onto a stretcher. I screamed his name until my throat collapsed. The baby was rushed toward another ambulance. Officers swarmed around me, cutting the ropes from my wrists. B

  • Married to my ex-husband's boss   Chapter 105

    ELLE I didn’t realize I was screaming until my throat felt sore. The sound coming out of me wasn’t human. It was raw. Shredded. Violent. It ripped through the dead, hollow water park like something dying in the dark. “RAYMOND!” I screamed his name again and again, until my voice broke so painfully it felt like something inside me snapped. But nothing I did… nothing I said… brought him back up. The water swallowed him whole. And his struggling… stopped. My heart clawed at my ribcage. “No, no, no, no…” Tears blurred everything. My vision shook. “Raymond, please… please move… please come up… please breathe…” I dragged my body forward even though the ropes cut deeper into my wrists, tearing skin. I didn’t care. I would have ripped my own arms off if it meant reaching him. But the world didn’t move. The water didn’t move. Raymond didn’t move. I felt something inside me collapse. Something so heavy I couldn’t breathe. Melody laughed. Actually laughed. A sharp, gleeful, insan

    ELLE The next morning, I tried not to make it obvious, but my eyes kept trailing after Raymond. Every move he made pulled at me like a thread I couldn’t stop tugging. I told myself I was only being cautious, watching for a slip, but the truth was harder—I was starving for answers, for anything th

    Elle Raymond kept stealing glances at me, though he probably thought I didn’t notice. I stayed propped against the pillows, my book open in my lap. The morning light streamed through the curtains, softening the room around us, but nothing could soften the weight pressing on my chest. Each time I

My chest tightened just slightly. He never left without saying something—not unless something was weighing heavi
