Elijah’s POV

The fluorescent lights of the hospital corridor flickered above as I hurried after Henry, my heart pounding with worry. Julia had disappeared, and Henry's urgency made me fear the worst.

Sophia lagged behind, her footsteps echoing faintly against the linoleum floor. She had mentioned something important she needed to discuss with me, but right now, all my focus was on finding Julia.

“Elijah, we need to talk,” Sophia had said earlier, her voice strained with concern. But I knew I had to prioritize Julia. If Henry said she was very stressed and disoriented, she needed immediate help.

Henry stopped abruptly, pointing to a vending machine area. “This is where we were talking,” he explained, his voice tinged with guilt. “Julia was crying, and I turned around quickly to grab a drink for her. When I came back, she was gone.”

I glanced back at Sophia, who was giving Henry an incredulous look. Her expression was a mixture of disbelief and frustration. Before I could ask what she

    Sophia’s POVI couldn't believe this was happening. The air crackled with tension as Julia pointed a trembling finger at me, her eyes ablaze with fury. “You set me up, Sophia! You made Elijah think I was at fault for everything!”Is Julia just so obsessed with Elijah, which is driving her to act like this? Or is this the real Julia whom I didn’t see before?I shook my head, trying to keep my voice steady despite the shock reverberating through me. “That's not true, Julia. You know what’s the real truth. I followed you and Henry here earlier and overheard you talking about your plan to expose Morgana and blame it all on me.”“Hah! What a liar!” she cried out. “You’re the one who’s lying!” I said in frustration and anger. Elijah stood between us, his eyes darting from Julia to me, confusion etched across his features. He obviously didn’t know who to believe. He mumbled something that I didn’t catch as he ran a hand through his hair in frustration.Henry stayed quiet, his face unreadab

    Sophia’s POVWhen I was finally left alone, I trudged sadly toward the exit of the hospital. My emotions were a tangled mess—frustration, anger, sadness, and bitterness swirling together until I felt completely drained. I just wanted to go home, to escape from the nightmare that seemed to have no end.Lately, things haven’t been looking up. But what happened today was devastating. It felt like the last straw for me, and I just wanted to break down. As I made my way out, my phone rang in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw Daniel's name on the screen. Hesitating for a moment, I answered. “Hi, Daniel.” I tried to inject some joy into my tone, but it was challenging. “Sophia, how are you?” Daniel's voice was warm, familiar. “I'm sorry I've been out of touch lately. My business is expanding in Europe, and I've been traveling a lot.”“It's alright,” I said, trying to sound cheerful despite my aching heart. “I understand. I know you're always working hard, and I'm happy for you and your bu

    Sophia’s POVAn awkward silence followed as Elijah and I tried to figure out how to explain our actions to our little child. Then out of the blue, Reese walked up to Elijah and hugged him. This surprised us all. “Don’t you care about Mommy?” she asked afterwards. Elijah looked startled, and I felt my heart pounding like crazy as I waited for him to answer. “Yes, of course I do,” he said, though I couldn't tell if he meant it. He hadn't wanted to listen to me earlier and I clearly remembered how he’d stared at me in doubt and had chosen to believe and attend to Julia. Reese stepped back and looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes. “Don’t you trust Mommy?”It was odd and almost insane how she knew to ask these questions, and I wondered what was going on in her mind. But she had always been more mature and intelligent for her age, and she was almost four years old now. Elijah looked hesitant and puzzled, but he eventually nodded.“Are you mad at Mommy?” Reese asked directly. Elijah

    Elijah’s POVThe walk back to the hospital was a blur. My mind was a whirlpool of thoughts and emotions, all centered around Sophia and Reese. For that brief time with them, I had felt that same joy and fulfillment again. I yearned to experience more of it, but everything was complicated right now. I kept replaying my conversation with Sophia in my mind, trying to decipher what it all meant. I was so lost in thought that I almost didn't notice Julia as I approached the doctor's clinic.She was standing outside, looking around with a panicked expression. But as soon as her eyes landed on me, her face brightened. She rushed towards me, her smile wide, and before I could react, she hugged me tightly and kissed me on the cheek.“Elijah!” she exclaimed, her voice a mixture of relief and happiness. “I’m so glad you’re here. Where have you been? Why did you leave me alone with the doctor?”“Sorry, I just needed to take care of a few things,” I answered vaguely. I couldn’t tell her I’d talk

  • My Ex-Husband is Out of Control   CHAPTER 200

    Sophia’s POVI had been working overtime at the company this weekend, burying myself in paperwork and endless tasks. I guess it’s been my way of escaping the depression that threatened to drown me. But today, it was too much. I needed a break, a breath of fresh air. I made my way to the roof of the building, hoping the open sky and bustling city below would clear my mind and provide some solace.As I stood there, staring down at the busy streets, I could feel the dissonance of the city blending with my agitated thoughts and feelings. The wind blew my hair into my face, and as I turned to fix it, I saw him.Elijah. He’s like a mere vision from the past. And at the same time, he’s also a ghost of my present. Elijah was standing in one corner of the roof deck, looking lonesome and sad. I didn’t expect him to be up here. But there he was, looking as depressed as I felt. I realized then that we haven’t spoken for days since that day at the park outside the hospital.Suddenly, I felt a

    Julia’s POVCautiously, I followed Elijah through the familiar corridors of Evelyn's house, my mind swimming with my future plans. At the same time, my heart pounded with fear and agitation. Elijah simply walked ahead with purposeful steps, oblivious to my internal turmoil. He probably suspects something, I thought, feeling paranoid. I could feel it in the way he looked at me, in the questions he didn't voice. Sophia must have told him something, or maybe he had pieced together fragments of truth on his own. I can't afford for him to find out the whole story. Perhaps I need to come up with another plan to make him trust me again completely. I must talk to Henry soon!Evelyn's recovery was both a blessing and a curse. It was rattling and surprising that she had emerged from her coma with an unexpected sharpness of mind. And while I had initially feared her awakening, she had actually been kind, almost unsettlingly so.She even seemed to recall flashes of my supposed childhood as Sab

    Serena’s POVI slipped through the back door very carefully and very quietly, my footsteps barely making a sound on the polished tiles. The house was eerily quiet at that hour, everyone tucked away in their rooms. It’s a good thing George had insisted on separate quarters during this ordeal, so I could meet up with Evelyn secretly. Evelyn's room was softly lit when I entered. She was sitting upright in bed, looking quite composed despite the circumstances. “Serena,” she greeted me with uneasiness in her voice. “You're here.”“Yes, I really had to see you,” I replied quietly, crossing the room to stand by her bedside. “And as I’ve told you before, it's about Julia.”Evelyn's brow furrowed slightly, worry etching lines on her face that made her seem older. “Tell me,” she urged, her voice a hushed plea. “I can really sense how much you dislike her, perhaps even hate her…”I scoffed and snorted. “That’s an understatement.”“Well, what is it?"I took a moment to gather my thoughts, tryin

    Sophia’s POVI leaned back against the plush seat of my car, grateful for the quiet after a long, hectic night at the office. I wonder how Grandma Evelyn’s doing…With a sigh, I dialed her number. I really needed to see her. It rang twice before she answered, her voice fragile yet filled with warmth. “Hello, dear? Sophia, is that you?”“Hi, Evelyn,” I replied, relief flooding through me at the sound of her voice. “Yes, it’s me. How are you feeling tonight? How have you been since you got home?”“Oh, I’m recovering fast, dear,” Evelyn responded, her tone upbeat despite the weariness I detected. “Don’t worry too much, alright? I’m just eager and happy to hear your voice now. I thought you’d forgotten about me.”“Oh, of course not,” I said, smiling. But there was also a familiar ache in my chest that stemmed from guilt. At times, I still couldn’t help feeling that it was my fault she had been in a coma. “It was quite a boring day, I must say,” Evelyn added. I was surprised she was being

    Chris’s POV“How do we even know we can trust them?” a gruff voice broke through the murmurs. It belonged to Alain, one of Luc’s more skeptical allies, his thick arms crossed tightly over his chest. “This Arcane Network—how do we know they won’t just use us and leave us out to dry?”A ripple of agreement moved through the room, a few others nodding or muttering under their breath. The air was charged, heavy with tension and doubt.Étienne straightened in his chair, his sharp gaze slicing through the dissent. “Because they have as much to lose as we do,” he said firmly. “They’ve been tracking Les Ombres Écarlates for years, and they’ve suffered their own losses to the mob. We have a shared enemy. This partnership makes sense.”“They could still double-cross us,” Alain pressed, his voice tight with suspicion. “What if this is a trap?”Before Étienne could respond, I leaned forward, my hands resting on the table. “I understand the hesitation,” I began, my voice steady but loud enough to

    Chris’s POVThe narrow dirt road twisted and turned as Luc drove us deeper into the countryside. Rows of grapevines stretched across the landscape, their gnarled roots anchored in the fertile soil. Everything was so beautiful I almost forgot why we were here. Luc pulled the car to a stop in front of a sprawling stone estate, its rustic charm blending seamlessly with the idyllic surroundings. The sound of birds chirping and the faint rustle of leaves in the breeze felt like a balm after the chaos we’d endured.“Welcome to La Vigne Tranquille,” Luc said, stepping out and motioning for us to follow. “The perfect place to disappear.”Emily and I exchanged a glance before climbing out of the car. The cool, fresh air was invigorating, a stark contrast to the cramped and suffocating spaces we’d hidden in before.“This place is owned by Étienne and Colette Moreau,” Luc explained as we approached the house. “On the surface, they’re just a charming couple running a successful vineyard.

    Sophia’s POVMy hands clenched into fists at my sides as I watched Victoria walk away, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. She was moving fast, as though she couldn’t get away from me quickly enough. That fear in her eyes when I’d mentioned Charlotte Vega—it was there, no matter how well she’d tried to hide it.Without thinking, I began to follow her.Victoria strode purposefully down the hallway, weaving through small groups of parents and staff still lingering after the performance. I kept a safe distance, careful not to draw her attention. My heart thudded in my chest, the rhythm growing louder with each step I took. This wasn’t like me—this sneaking around, this impulsiveness—but I couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling that I was onto something important.She rounded a corner, and I ducked behind a row of lockers, peeking out just in time to see her head toward the backstage area of the auditorium. Her phone was in her hand now, and her lips were pressed into a th

    Sophia’s POVThe preschool auditorium felt warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the chill of the winter air outside. Parents and children bundled in coats and scarves had trickled in earlier, leaving trails of melting snow near the entrance. A faint scent of pine lingered in the air, mingling with the aroma of hot chocolate from a small concession table in the corner.Elijah and I had shed our heavy coats, leaving them draped over the backs of our chairs. Even now, I could feel the lingering cold on my fingertips, which I rubbed together absently as the performance unfolded.“They look so happy,” I whispered, my voice almost drowned out by the laughter and applause around us. Roxy and Jared stood at the center of the stage, their faces glowing with pride as they sang in perfect harmony with their classmates.“They take after their mom,” Elijah said, his voice low and filled with warmth. He gave my hand a brief squeeze, and for a fleeting moment, I felt the tension between us ease, like

    Sophia’s POVMy heart was pounding so loudly, I was certain Elijah could hear it. Lucas was a topic neither of us wanted to dwell on, but there was no avoiding this conversation. He had to know what I’d discovered—what I now remembered.I drew in a deep breath and looked him in the eye. “Lucas was there,” I said softly, the words hanging between us like a fragile thread.His forehead creased slightly. “What do you mean, there?”“The day I went missing,” I clarified. “He told me he was at the ski resort with his uncle. He followed us into the snow.”Elijah leaned back slightly, his shoulders tense, his eyes sharp and assessing. “He followed you, even after you were separated from the rest of us?”I nodded, feeling the knot in my stomach tighten. “Yes. He said… he wanted to see me. To spend time with me. But he also admitted he saw something.”Elijah leaned forward now, his attention fully on me. “What did he see?”I closed my eyes for a brief second, willing myself to stay calm. “He s

    Elijah’s POVThe steady purr of the engine filled the car, accompanied by the rhythmic swish of the wipers sweeping across the windshield, breaking the stillness of the otherwise quiet ride. Sophia sat in the passenger seat, her head turned slightly toward the window. She hadn’t said much since we left the house, and I wasn’t sure if she was lost in thought or simply enjoying the calm.In the backseat, Roxy and Jared were chattering softly, their voices a soothing undercurrent to the silence between us. Reese was leaned against the window, her headphones on, nodding along to some song only she could hear.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, my mind wandering despite my best efforts to stay present. The events of the past week loomed large in my head—Vito’s unmistakable face burned into my memory, the chaotic chase through the shipyard, and the dangerous game we were now playing. And then there was Morgana, who was barely holding herself together after Lennon’s disappearance.

    Elijah’s POVThe sharp scent of salt and oil dominated the surroundings, underscored by the industrial clatter of machinery and the distant shouts of Vito’s men echoing through the shipyard. I stayed pressed against the cold metal crate, my breaths shallow and measured. The sound of boots and angry voices reverberated through the maze of containers, too close for comfort.“Split up and cover the south end!” Vito’s voice boomed, carrying above the chaos.I cursed under my breath. They were organized, and their numbers made it clear—this wasn’t going to be an easy escape.My earpiece came to life. “Elijah,” Joe’s voice whispered urgently. “Get to the northwest corner. There’s a stack of containers near the crane. I’ll meet you there. Stay low.”I peeked around the edge of the crate. The narrow path ahead was littered with shadows, but further down, I could see the towering crane Joe had mentioned. It loomed like a beacon of hope—or a final destination.“Got it,” I whispered back, clutch

    Elijah’s POVThe air inside the van was tense, thick with the kind of anticipation that made every sound sharper, every shadow more menacing. Joe sat beside me, his focus sharp as he scanned the live feed on the monitor. His men were positioned around the warehouse, their voices low over the comms as they reported their positions.“Movement at the rear entrance,” one of them said. “Two men unloading crates from a truck.”I leaned forward, squinting at the grainy black-and-white footage. The warehouse was nondescript, a hulking concrete building that blended into the industrial sprawl. But we knew better. This was a key hub for Les Ombres Écarlates, and tonight, we were here to confirm something that had kept me up for days—Vito’s survival.“There’s more activity near the side gate,” another voice crackled. “Four armed guards. Looks like they’re expecting something.”Joe exchanged a glance with me, his expression grim. “It’s definitely a big shipment. Whatever’s in those crates is imp

The air was crisp, tinged with salt and the faint scent of diesel.I held Emily close, her trembling frame tucked against mine as if I could shield her from everything that had happened. Her hair smelled faintly of the forest, damp and earthy from our time on the run. But for the first time in what felt like an eternity, her breaths were even. She was safe, and that was all that mattered.Luc sat at the helm, his sharp eyes scanning the horizon. He didn’t look relaxed, not completely. His hand hovered near the firearm strapped to his side, his fingers tapping the edge of the wheel.“We’re clear for now,” he said, glancing back at us. “The mob scattered. No sign of them in the port, no tails on us. We’ve got a bit of breathing room.”I nodded, but the tension within me didn’t ease. “What about Marc?” I asked, my voice low, careful not to disturb the fragile
