ROMAN'S POV

Just after getting home from Lauren’s place, I loosened my tie with a sharp tug, the tension in my chest refusing to let up. I shrugged off my jacket and tossed it onto the couch, but my mind was still trapped in the car, haunted by what I had uncovered only minutes ago.

The ride back had been nothing more than a blur. The city lights, the movement of traffic, even the voices of people passing along the sidewalks, all of it felt distant, like I was submerged in water. Because the whole time, one image replayed itself over and over: the blog page, the headline, the truth staring me in the face.

Lauren Darrow. Ex-wife of Ethan Black.

I sank down onto the edge of the couch, elbows resting on my knees, and let out a long exhale. I had discovered something I never thought would ever cross my mind.

When I first met Lauren at that club five years ago, she had looked… young. Tired, yes, almost like the world was pressing her shoulders down with too much weight. But she had been st

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0242

    LAUREN'S POV“I don’t really need much, I just need to pay off someone I’ve been owing here for a while,” Liz said over the phone, her voice carrying a subtle edge of urgency that made me stand up straighterI cleared my throat, trying to keep my voice steady as I replied. “Ok… how much?” I asked, my fingers tapping lightly against the back of my phone “Five thousand,” she said plainly, as if it were a number I could easily pull out of nowhere.I paused for a moment, letting the number sink in. Five thousand was pocket change, but it also wasn’t something I can just dash away, no matter the millions that sits in my account and the billions that sits in Romans, I still respect every dime I have because once upon a time five thousand could feed me for an entire month.I exhaled softly, feeling a hint of tension from the long day pressing against my shoulders. “Alright, just send me the account I need to transfer the money to, and I’ll do it immediately,” I said, trying to sound casual

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0241

    LAUREN'S POV I walked into the living room, my heels making soft taps against the floor as I stepped further inside. The lights were on, the curtains half-drawn, everything looking exactly the way it normally did, yet somehow the atmosphere felt different. A kind of heaviness lingered in the air, something I couldn’t exactly place. Maybe it was just me being tired, but still… something felt off. Almost like the house had exhaled a long sigh right before I walked in. I found it a bit strange that Liz hadn’t texted me to say she’d settled in. Especially considering how we practically missed each other this morning by just a few minutes. Even if she was still getting used to her new surroundings, at least a short "I've settled in” message should’ve come through. The silence made me pause for a moment, looking around the room again, trying to figure out why everything felt so unusually quiet. I know I was only staying with Roman, but the whole house just felt off today, like something

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0240

    LAUREN'S POV “I honestly don’t get why you guys don’t like her,” I said to Tessa through the phone, my voice soft but confused as I sat in the back of my car. The cool leather seat felt too comfortable for how uneasy I was beginning to feel. My driver kept his pace smooth, quiet, almost invisible, but somehow the silence in the car felt heavy. “It’s not like she did something wrong to you guys,” I added, my thumb rubbing the side of my phone slowly. “It’s not about her doing anything wrong,” Tessa replied, her tone sharp but controlled. “It’s about the fact that I don’t trust her. The way she behaved when she came over… I could clearly see what she was trying to do.” I let out a long breath through my nose. “Tessa, you can’t just judge someone from their appearance, and secondly, what do you think she was trying to do?” There was a pause on the phone. I knew that sigh she gave, the type she released only when she didn’t want to say something because she knew it would cause proble

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0239

    ROMAN'S POV I stood there in shock, staring at Elizabeth in front of me. For a moment I couldn’t even move. My hand stayed frozen on the door handle, my shoulders stiff, my breath slightly stuck in my chest. I wanted to speak, but no words came out at first. My brows pulled together on their own, because honestly… I never thought Elizabeth or any woman in her right senses would do what Elizabeth just did. I thought I had seen it all. From betrayal, to finding out I had a child, to watching that same child be taken from me, to fighting tooth and nail just to locate her and bring her back home. I’ve been pushed mentally, physically, emotionally — I’ve been broken and pieced back together more times than I can count. But I never expected something like this. Elizabeth stood right at my door, biting down on her index fingernail, staring at me with that lust-filled look that she didn’t even bother to hide. And what made it worse, what made it far more shocking was the fact that she c

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0238

    ROMAN'S POV I slowly turned back around, my brows raised as I didn’t expect to hear what I thought I just heard. There was a pause, a fraction of a second where the words seemed to echo in my mind, forcing me to refocus. “What did you just call me?” I asked, my voice firm, yet holding just enough incredulity to let her know that what she had said was entirely out of line. “Daddy, is it wrong to call you daddy?” she asked, her tone laced with an almost deliberate innocence, like she had rehearsed the question in her mind to gauge my reaction. “Why would you even call me daddy, when I’m not your father?” I asked, my tone sharpening slightly. It was a simple question, but it carried a weight, an edge I didn’t bother hiding. “Well, I just wanted to see what Aria feels when she calls you that,” Elizabeth said, her words falling carefully into the space between us, precise and calculated. “What? Aria is a child, my child, which last I checked you’re a grown adult,” I said, my voice ri

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0237

    ROMAN'S POV “No, not at all. I’m sure you saw the other vehicle that passed you just before you stopped here. That was Lauren. I’m standing here because I was seeing her off,” I said, my voice steady, calm, carrying just enough casualness to hide the tension under the surface. “Seeing her off?” Elizabeth asked, a little confused, her brow slightly furrowing, eyes narrowing ever so subtly as if she was trying to read my tone, to figure out whether I was serious or joking. “Yes. Didn’t she inform you that she wasn’t going to be around when you came?” I asked, letting my gaze linger just long enough for her to feel the weight of the question, to sense that this wasn’t a trivial matter. “No, she didn’t. I texted her a few minutes ago. She should have told me, but she didn’t. Maybe she must have forgotten,” Elizabeth said, her words carefully chosen, casual in tone but a little too precise. I noticed it, the slight uptick in her voice when she mentioned Lauren not being around. It wasn
