LAUREN'S POV

Tessa drove into the driveway slowly and carefully parked the car. As the engine died, a heavy silence filled the space between us. I stared at the front door, the house that once felt like a safe place — warm, secure, filled with memories. Now, it just looked… unfamiliar. Like the shell of something I used to recognize.

I let out a long, shaky breath, and Tessa caught it.

“Remember,” she said softly, turning slightly in her seat to face me, “don’t stress yourself too much. You don’t want to end up in the hospital again — or worse. Elena needs you.”

I nodded, though my chest was still tight with anxiety. “I know,” I murmured, unclipping my seat belt and letting it retract with a soft click.

“And Lauren,” she added, her voice quieter but more serious, “try to keep your voice low if you’re going to talk to Ethan. Elena doesn’t need to hear everything.”

I gave her a faint smile. That motherly concern was one of the reasons Tessa had always been more than just a best friend —

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0217

    ELIZABETH’S POV“You had one simple task, how could you not get it right, fucking Americans,” I snapped, feeling the anger still rising in my chest like something alive. My voice cut through the café loud enough for a few heads to turn, but I didn’t care. The stupidity in front of me needed to be addressed.I could still feel the sting in my palm from when I slapped him the first time, and honestly, I didn’t think I had hit him hard enough. Maybe I should have poured the other drink on his worthless uniform too. It would’ve matched nicely with the first splash ruining my dress. The embarrassment still burned, and every second I looked at his trembling face made my irritation spike even higher.“Elizabeth, enough. He said he was sorry. Let it go.” Lauren’s voice came from beside me, low but sharp. She subtly tilted her head toward the other customers.Only then did I notice the phones, so many of them pointed in our direction, people already filming like they were watching some reality

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0216

    LAUREN'S POV“Hold on, you just said we were in an orphanage?” I asked, my voice slow, like my mind was still trying to catch up with what she had just mentioned so casually.“Yes,” Elizabeth replied, nodding once, her face as calm as if she had repeated this story a hundred times already.“That means our biological parents, they’re…”“They’re dead. According to my parents, the orphanage said they died in an accident. We were the only ones who survived.” Elizabeth cut me off before I could even finish the sentence.I blinked as her words settled inside me, heavy and cold. My shoulders dropped slightly as I sank a bit into my chair, feeling the weight of that reality land on me. My gaze drifted down to the floor, not really focusing on anything in particular, just trying to absorb the information.I didn’t know what I had been expecting. Maybe I had been hoping for too much. Maybe somewhere in the back of my mind I thought they’d be alive. Maybe they’d come searching one day, or maybe

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0215

    LAUREN'S POVWhile looking at what Roman was staring at, I finally understood why he said that particular phrase — you have to be kidding me. The disbelief in his voice made sense the second my eyes landed on the woman sitting at the table ahead of us.“Well, she wasn’t hard to find,” Roman said, sarcasm dripping from every syllable.For a moment, I couldn’t say anything. My tongue felt stuck to the roof of my mouth. There were absolutely no words for what I was staring at. My brows pulled together so tightly that I could feel the small ache forming between them.Elizabeth.Up close, in real life, I saw why Roman froze. She looked exactly like me — exactly. And somehow seeing it in person hit way harder than the photos she sent earlier. The photos were shocking, yes, but seeing her move, blink, breathe? It sent something strange twisting inside me.She finally noticed us as we approached. Her eyes widened slightly, the same way mine probably did when I first saw her. And the expressio

    LAUREN'S POV“Alright then, if this lady is who she claims to be and wants me to meet up with her, then I guess I don’t mind. I might have some questions that I’d like to ask her too,” I said, even though my stomach tightened slightly at the thought.“Good, but I’ll be coming with you,” Roman said immediately, like he had already made up his mind before I even opened my mouth.“Is there any reason?” I asked, even though I already had an idea of what he was about to say.“No matter who this person says she is, she’s still a stranger that we don’t know yet. So until we confirm it with our own eyes, I can’t just let you go and see someone alone.” Roman’s voice held that protective firmness he always used whenever he thought I might be walking straight into danger.“Ok,” I agreed, “but no bodyguards or police. Just the two of us.”“Ok then,” he said, nodding. “But let her know we’ll be picking the meet-up location. Just in case.”That part didn’t surprise me. Roman liked having control ev

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0213

    LAUREN'S POV“I can’t even say she’s my look-alike because she looks too identical to me to be just a look-alike,” I said as I paced the room, my footsteps moving back and forth across the rug. My voice sounded breathless from how shaken I still felt. My mind was scattered in a million pieces, and I kept trying to regroup them, but each time I pictured that face on my phone, every thought scattered again.“Send her another message to keep her online, ask her questions,” Roman said. His brows were drawn together. He wasn’t taking this lightly at all.Without wasting a single second, I started typing again on my phone, my fingers moving fast.‘Yes, I am very much surprised to see my photo being sent to me then find out that it’s not me in the photo, you still haven’t answered who you are’I pressed send and exhaled deeply, staring at the screen like it would suddenly explain itself if I looked hard enough. Roman stood behind me, his presence steady, his eyes glued to my phone as well, a

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0212

    LAUREN'S POVMy car pulled to a stop in front of Roman’s place, the tires barely grinding against the gravel before I was already pushing the door open. I didn’t even remember to slam it shut. I just rushed out, practically stumbling as my feet hit the ground because my entire mind was spinning, racing, trying to catch up with everything I had just seen.The air felt heavier today, like it was pressing against my chest, making it hard to breathe. I walked — more like half-ran toward the door, my heart pounding so fast I felt like I could hear the rhythm in my ears. I fumbled a little with the handle before getting it open, stepping inside in a hurry.Roman was right there, standing near the couch with his keys in hand. It looked like he was about to head out, maybe to go get something. But the moment I stepped into the living room, he froze. His hand hung in mid-air, his fingers still curled around the keys as his gaze landed on me“Lauren,” he said, lifting his brows as he straighten
