No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 0132
ROMAN'S POV The sound of another set of footsteps approaching snapped me out of my thoughts about Aria. My mind had drifted somewhere else — too deep, too dangerous. For a second, I thought it was Lauren returning with the juice she promised me, but when I looked up, it wasn’t her. It was her friend, Tessa. “Lauren told me you stopped by, so I decided to come say hello,” she said with an easy smile, stretching her hand toward me. I stood up politely, meeting her halfway with a handshake. Her grip was firm, confident the kind of handshake you’d expect from someone who didn’t need to pretend to be nice but chose to anyway. “I don’t think we properly introduced ourselves the last time I was here,” I said, shaking her hand. “I’m sure you already know who I am, but I’d like to know your name, Lauren’s non-biological sister.” The corner of her lips curled into a smirk, clearly amused by my tone. “You can call me Tessa,” she replied. Before I could respond, movement caught my attention

ROMAN'S POV“Another day of coming to my place without letting me know,” Lauren said, leaning casually against her front door. Her arms crossed.I hesitated for a fraction of a second, weighing how to respond. I couldn’t let her think I was careless or inconsiderate, but at the same time, I needed to maintain my own calm presence. “Well, technically I told you I was going to come over so we could finish the conversation we were having at my office,” I said, hoping that could counteract the accusation and remind her that this visit was purposeful.Lauren tilted her head slightly, the expression on her face unmistakably skeptical. “That was two days ago,” she said, her voice carrying a slight tinge of frustration. “And you said you were going to come that evening.” She added. And it almost sounded like she was more annoyed that I didn’t show up that evening than the fact that I showed up here unannounced I let out a small sigh knowing she had cornered me, I hoped she wouldn’t remember
No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 0130
ROMAN'S POV The last time I spoke to Lauren was about two days ago. Two long, restless days. I’d been cooped up in my house with Jeff, digging for more details, more pieces of the puzzle that could link everything together. Between the hours of research and our quiet moments of speculation, I’d barely eaten, and I hadn’t even set foot in the office yesterday. It wasn’t like me to take time off without notice, business was usually my number one priority but lately, my priorities had started to… shift. Today, though, I needed to take a break. Both for my own sake and because I didn’t want things to start looking strange between Lauren and me. I’d been trying so hard to keep things normal, to keep that small progress I’d made with her from slipping away. I was actually supposed to go see her two days ago, right after work. But somehow, with everything going on the theories, the files, and the thoughts that wouldn’t stop circling my head I forgot. And it was only a few moments ago
No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 0129
LAUREN'S POVWe walked into the small office that the nurse had led us into. A middle-aged man sat behind a neat desk, pens, and a half-empty cup of coffee that had probably gone cold hours ago. He looked up the moment we entered, his expression polite but distracted as his eyes darted from the paperwork in front of him to us.“Dr. James, they’re here to see you,” the nurse said, her tone brisk but professional.He gave her a quick nod before his gaze lingered on me and then dropped to Aria, who clung gently to my hand. His expression softened a little. Then he reached for the document the nurse handed him. “They’re here for a DNA ancestry test,” she added.I quickly corrected, “Just my daughter, I’m not included.” I smiled faintly as I took a seat opposite his desk, adjusting my bag on my lap.Dr. James scanned the paper silently, his brows furrowing slightly in concentration. The sound of the wall clock ticking filled the quiet room. After a moment, he gave a small nod to the nurse,

LAUREN'S POV “Mummy,” I heard Aria’s soft voice call out, her little footsteps padding across the tiled floor toward the kitchen where I was standing over the stove, turning the eggs in the pan. “Yes?” I asked, though my eyes stayed on the frying pan, making sure the edges didn’t burn. She didn’t respond immediately. I noticed her raise her hand, holding something that looked like a folded paper. I glanced at her briefly, eyebrows knitting. “Is that your homework?” “No,” she replied simply, her head shaking. Her voice had that calm, serious tone she used whenever she was about to show me something she didn’t understand. The eggs were done, their edges perfectly golden. I turned off the cooker and set the pan aside before wiping my hands on a towel. Whatever this was, it had to be important enough for her to bring it up right after waking up. “Come on, sweetie,” I said softly, taking her small hand in mine as I led her out of the kitchen and into the living room. The smell of b

ROMAN'S POVI let out a slow, weary sigh, dragging both hands through my hair until my fingers clenched at the back of my head. My thoughts were spinning too fast to catch.“No, I didn’t know about that,” I said finally, my voice sounding rougher than I intended. “But that isn’t what’s got me worried.”Jeff’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Then what’s the problem?”That was the question, wasn’t it? What exactly was the problem?I stared at the floor for a few seconds, lost in the fog of my own thoughts. I couldn’t just jump to conclusions when I didn’t even have solid proof yet. Sure, finding out that Aria wasn’t Ethan’s daughter was shocking, more shocking than I could put into words but that alone didn’t mean anything definitive. There were still too many missing pieces.It was possible that while Lauren was in Italy, she might’ve been with someone else. Maybe she got pregnant for that person and, for some reason, decided to blame it on Ethan Black. But… why would she do that?Didn’t she
