Atticus still couldn’t shake off the dream she had. Every detail lingered in her mind, and the memory of Phoenix’s lips on hers sent her nerves into chaos. She couldn’t focus, completely distracted by how vivid it felt.

Good God, what is happening to me?

“Done?”

The sudden voice startled her, causing her to drop the sandwich she was holding. Thankfully, it landed on the plate. She forced a smile, turning to face Phoenix and handing him the lunchbox containing four sausage sandwiches. “Here you go.”

Phoenix accepted it with a nod. “I’m heading out.”

She only managed to nod back, turning away quickly. Her heart was racing uncontrollably, and she couldn’t calm it down. She listened as Phoenix’s footsteps retreated and the door opened and shut behind him. Only then did she exhale deeply, her heartbeat finally settling.

Rubbing the spot on her chest where her heart was, she muttered to herself, “Why does he affect me this much? I just met him, for Christ’s sake!”

  • My Hot Disabled Ex-Husband   CHAPTER 33

    “Phoenix, I’m okay.” Atticus repeated the words several times to her husband, who was persistently assisting her as they walked toward the door of his house. “Really, Phoenix, I’m perfectly fine.”“Let me take care of you,” Phoenix replied.Apparently not satisfied, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her toward the door.“Phoenix!” she exclaimed, laughing and playfully slapping his chest. “Put me down. I can handle myself.”“Just let me do this, sweetheart,” Phoenix said, planting a kiss on her cheek before continuing his walk.Atticus could only shake her head. Since last night, when she woke up after resting, he had been extra sweet to her.And ever since she recovered all her lost memories, she felt whole again. She felt complete. And happy. Especially because she could feel just how much her husband loved her.Phoenix hadn’t stopped caring for her since last night. He was thoughtful, sweet, and loving—just like the Phoenix she had married years ago.“Open the door, sweethea

    THE NIGHT was chilly. Atticus felt the cold breeze, especially since she wasn’t wearing a jacket to fight off the biting cold.Her frightened eyes fixed on the man pointing a gun at her. She recognized him—he was one of Phoenix’s employees, but she didn’t know his name.“W-what do you want from me?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear.The man pressed the gun against her forehead, making her entire body shake in terror.“Be quiet.”Her body trembled. Phoenix called for her husband in her mind. Phoenix… help me, please…She instinctively placed a protective hand on her stomach. She couldn’t afford to get hurt. She needed to be strong—for the child she carried. She hadn’t even told Phoenix yet that he was going to be a father soon.She needed to get back to him. He’d surely be worried if she didn’t return home soon.“Please, let me go home,” Atticus pleaded. “Have mercy. My husband might be looking for me—”“I said shut up!” The man glared at her and slapped her hard across the fac

  • My Hot Disabled Ex-Husband   CHAPTER 31

    Atticus could feel every beat of her heart as Phoenix kissed her passionately. Her mind wrestled with whether what they were doing was right, but her body’s desire to be one with her husband prevailed.She missed him. She missed him terribly. And she wanted to be with her husband, even just for today.So she gave in as Phoenix removed every piece of her clothing, leaving nothing behind. He did the same, stripping himself bare before leaning down to kiss the fullness of her ample breasts tenderly.“Oh,” Atticus moaned as Phoenix’s tongue swirled around her taut nipples.Her nipples ached, seeking the wicked play of his tongue. When Phoenix took her hardened peak into his warm mouth, she clung tightly to his head, pressing her chest closer to him.“More, Phoenix,” she moaned. “Lick me more… more… ohh.”Atticus’s body tingled as Phoenix’s hand massaged her other breast, drawing louder gasps from her lips. When he switched his mouth between her breasts, she gripped his hair tightly, overc

  • My Hot Disabled Ex-Husband   CHAPTER 30

    Phoenix just stared at her before turning away. She stood up, placed the tray of her used dishes on the round table, and then sat on the sofa, cradling her head as she stared at the floor.She bit her lower lip when the sharp pain in her head returned. Flashes of blurred memories forced their way into her mind, leaving her even more frustrated.Why couldn’t her memories come back clearly?Why were they always a blur?“Are you okay?” Phoenix’s voice broke the silence.She quickly erased the pain etched on her face and looked up at him. “I’m fine.”Doubt shadowed his face. “You’re pale.”“I said I’m fine.” She stood, attempting to walk away, but as soon as she took a step, the searing pain shot through her head, making her cry out in agony.“Argh!” she screamed, clutching her head, nearly collapsing before Phoenix rushed to catch her.“Fuck!” Without hesitation, he carried her in his arms and quickly brought her to the master bedroom, laying her down on the bed.“Phoenix! It hurts!” she

    “Do you want to eat out—”“No.”“Atticus—”“Leave me alone, Phoenix.”Atticus stormed into the guestroom, slamming the door shut to keep him out. Phoenix clenched his fists to stop himself from barging in.She needed space, so he would give it to her.He left and went to the bar, grabbing two bottles of rum. Opening one, he drank straight from the bottle.Atticus, meanwhile, sat frozen in her room, staring blankly into space. Her heart ached for her husband, but she stopped herself. She shouldn’t feel that way for someone who had hurt her and given her false hope.But she couldn’t stop her feet from walking toward him or her hand from tapping his shoulder.“Stop drinking,” she said.Phoenix turned to look at her, his eyes emotionless. “Why?”“It’s bad for you,” she replied.He snorted. “Bad? Yeah. Right.”Atticus sighed. “Stop it. You won’t gain anything from drinking,” she said, her tone firm.Phoenix sighed and stared at her. “If I stop, will you pay attention to me? Will you care f

  • My Hot Disabled Ex-Husband   CHAPTER 28

    WHEN Atticus ENTERED the Master Bedroom she used to share with Phoenix, she immediately saw her husband lying face down on the bed, sound asleep.The smell of alcohol filled the room. It was clear that Phoenix had been drinking. She knew Phoenix couldn’t hold his liquor well; his tolerance was low.She sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes fixed on her husband’s handsome face. Bitterness, pain, and anger instantly welled up in her heart. She quickly averted her gaze as a tear rolled down her cheek.The pain in her heart resurfaced. Seeing Phoenix’s face again made her chest ache deeply.She stood up and took a deep breath to calm herself.Her gaze fell on a large picture frame on the wall. Her heart softened at the sight of their wedding photo.They looked so happy, so content. Who would have thought everything would end up like this?She exhaled deeply, letting out a careful sigh before turning her gaze away from the photo.She looked around the entire room. Nothing had cha
