Chris’s POVThe boat cut through the dark water, its motor humming steadily beneath the sound of waves slapping against the hull. 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

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

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 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.

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

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 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

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. But ben

Sophia’s POVMy mother sat on the couch, clutching Grandma Evelyn’s hands, trying to calm her down. My father stood near the window, staring out into the darkness, his face pale and unreadable.Chris and Connor were huddled over a laptop at the dining table, analyzing security footage.Joe was already there, speaking into his phone, barking orders to his contacts.But no one had any answers yet.And Grandpa George was still missing.I turned to my grandmother, kneeling in front of her. “Grandma—did you see anything? Anyone suspicious? A car, a stranger?”Her red-rimmed eyes filled with fresh tears as she shook her head. “No… nothing. I don’t know how this happened.” Her voice broke. “George was just in his study… and then he was gone.”Elijah placed a hand on my shoulder, grounding me, but I could feel the rage simmering beneath his calm exterior. He wasn’t just worried—he was furiousJust then, Chris snapped his fingers at the screen. “We’ve got something.”Connor turned the laptop t

Sophia’s POVWe had been trying to track down both Antoine and Hugo, but they had vanished like ghosts.No leads. No sightings. Nothing.Lucas had called me earlier, still searching, still digging. Even Elijah and his contacts have been working doubly hard. But so far, they’d come up empty too. It was frustrating—knowing the danger was out there, lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike.But tonight…Tonight, we weren’t going to think about it.Tonight, we were here to celebrate.After all, Lila and Adrian’s joint concert was finally happening. This was their moment, their dream unfolding before them.And for the first time in what felt like forever, we were all together, enjoying something good.Kayla was everywhere at once, her headset on, clipboard in hand, barking last-minute instructions into her earpiece. She was stressed, frantic… but glowing. Even though there could have been other people to take care of all this from her company, she wanted to be in charge, to personal

Emily’s POV“Walk away, Hugo,” Antoine said sharply, stepping in front of us as if to shield us from the strange man.The name triggered a memory.Chris had mentioned it just yesterday—Hugo Tournier. Suddenly, I remembered. It’s the name Sophia and Elijah had been trying to track down. The man who had supposedly changed Sophia’s life forever.And now he’s here. Why?!My hands instinctively balled up as my heart slammed against my ribs. Could this really be the same man?Hugo’s expression darkened with satisfaction as he took another step, exuding an air of quiet arrogance.“Well, well,” he drawled, his voice smooth but laced with something sinister. “You’re not as fun outside of prison, Antoine.”Phoebe’s grip on my wrist tightened. “Emily, let’s go,” she muttered under her breath.I wanted to. Every instinct screamed at me to turn and leave. But I couldn’t—not yet.Hugo came forward, his eyes staring straight at me. He gave a low chuckle, mocking. “It’s interesting to meet Sabrina Ba

Emily’s POVI refused to flinch. Even as Antoine stood in front of me, blocking my way, I forced my body to stay still, to stay firm.I squared my shoulders, my fingers curling into fists at my sides. “Move.”Antoine didn’t budge. His gaze shifted between me and Phoebe, like he wasn’t sure if I’d actually listen or turn and run.“I’m not here to fight,” he said, his voice calm. “I just want to talk.”Phoebe’s grip on my arm tightened, and her anger was immediate, sharp.“Oh, hell no,” she snapped. “What are you even doing here? Haven’t you caused enough trouble?”I inhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay calm. I wasn’t going to let him see me feeling nervous or affected by him. Antoine exhaled, his face unreadable. “I just wanted to talk.”Phoebe laughed coldly. “Talk? You took Jared, Antoine. Without permission. Do you have any idea what you put us through?”“I know,” he admitted. “I made a mistake.”Phoebe scoffed. “A mistake?”I stepped forward, my gaze hardening. “Please, Antoine.

Emily’s POV“You look like you’re waiting for someone to burst through that door and drag you back into hiding.”Phoebe’s voice was light, teasing, but I still flinched. We were sitting in a cafe near Emily’s house, trying to relax and simply enjoy our time together. But it was still challenging for me. I forced a smile, stirring my coffee even though I wasn’t planning to drink it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Phoebe snorted, popping another bite of pastry into her mouth. “Em, I’ve known you since birth. That’s your I’m on edge but pretending I’m fine face.”I sighed, rubbing my temple. “I just… I don’t know. It feels too good to be true. Jared is finally warming up to me. I have you here. I should be happy. I am happy.”“But?” Phoebe pressed.“But I keep waiting for something to go wrong.”She gave me a knowing look. “Because that’s all you’ve known for years.”I nodded, staring down at the swirl of foam in my untouched coffee. “I don’t know how to turn it off.”Before

Emily’s POVI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Jared’s voice again—calling for Sophia instead of me. It shouldn’t have hurt this much. But it did.I stared at the ceiling, exhaustion weighing on me, but my mind refused to rest. It kept replaying the moment at the park—Jared’s hesitation, his little hands reaching for Sophia instead of me. I told myself I understood. He didn’t know me. But understanding it didn’t make it hurt any less.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. Before I could answer, my sister Phoebe peeked in, holding two steaming mugs of coffee.“Morning,” she said gently, stepping inside and handing me a cup.I pushed myself up against the headboard, taking the mug with shaky hands. “Thanks.”She sat beside me, studying my face. “You didn’t sleep, did you?”I shook my head, staring into the dark liquid. “Not really.”Phoebe sighed. “I’m sorry I couldn’t go with you yesterday. Work was crazy, and I couldn’t get out of it.”I looked at her

Sophia’s POV"Mom! Look at the rabbits!" Reese’s excited voice rang out as she dashed ahead, her little sister Roxy giggling as she tried to keep up. Jared wasn’t far behind, his laughter ringing through the air. I smiled, watching my children run toward the petting zoo, their energy contagious.Beside me, Emily tensed.I glanced at her, noticing how her shoulders tightened, how her eyes darted around like she was scanning for threats. She was supposed to be enjoying this—a simple afternoon in the botanical garden, surrounded by friends, fresh air, and laughter. It was the perfect opportunity for Emily to bond with Jared, without him feeling nervous or out of place. But years of running, hiding, and surviving had wired her differently.She wasn’t relaxed. She seemed to be waiting for something to go wrong. And I really couldn’t blame her. I reached for her hand, giving it a light squeeze. “You’re safe here,” I murmured.Emily forced a small smile, nodding, but her fingers still trem
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 610
Sophia’s POVThe warmth of freshly baked cookies filled the air, a scent that felt so familiar, so comforting, that for a moment, it was easy to forget all the fear and uncertainty of the past few days.My mother bustled around the kitchen, setting out plates and pouring tea, determined to make this a small celebration, in spite of her still being a bit rattled. But more than anything, I could see that she was very, very happy. Emily and Chris had showered and changed, looking far better than they had when I first walked in. The exhaustion was still there, written in the lines of their faces, but they were standing tall, present, and—most importantly—home.Elijah arrived shortly after, his presence filling the room with steady reassurance. When he saw Chris, he didn’t hesitate, pulling him into a tight embrace. They had been best friends since childhood, and after everything Chris had been through, I could see the relief in Elijah’s eyes. He held onto Emily for a moment, too, murmuri
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 609
Sophia’s POVMy heart pounded as I gripped the phone tighter. "Mom? What’s wrong?"There was a moment of silence, just soft, uneven breaths on the other end of the line. My stomach twisted painfully. "Mom, talk to me!""S-Sophia…" her voice cracked, and I felt my chest constrict. "They’re here."I blinked, my mind struggling to keep up. "Who’s here?""Chris and Emily. They’re home."I inhaled sharply, my breath catching in my throat. For a second, I couldn't move, couldn't think. My pulse raced as my mind fought to process what she had just said.Chris and Emily are back.My grip on the phone loosened, my knees nearly buckling from the sudden rush of emotions. Relief, disbelief, overwhelming gratitude."Oh my God," I whispered, pressing a hand to my chest. "Are they okay?""I… I don’t know," my mother admitted, still sounding shaken. "They haven’t said much. But you need to come quick."I didn’t hesitate. "I’ll be right there."As I ended the call, I turned to see Elijah watching me,
