LAUREN'S POV

I sat there, frozen, my eyes wide as I stared at the man standing above me. Ethan — my husband, the man I had built my life around — looked down at me with an emptiness I couldn’t comprehend. No remorse. No guilt. Nothing but coldness in his gaze, like I was nothing more than an inconvenience in his way.

I wanted to believe anger could make people do things they didn’t mean. After all, when I slapped him earlier, it wasn’t something I had planned. It came from a place of rage and betrayal, and almost immediately, regret filled me. My heart had dropped, and I’d wanted to apologize.

But him… There was nothing. Not even the smallest flicker of realization that he had crossed a line. His chest heaved slightly from the force he’d used, but his expression remained hard, uncaring.

Then I heard the soft creak of the kitchen door opening and quick footsteps approaching behind me. Before I could turn fully, I saw Rosa rush over. Her eyes were wide with panic, and her face was lined

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 079

    LAUREN'S POV Today, I didn’t even need my alarm. Long before the alarm could cut through the morning silence, my eyes were already open, staring at the faint glow of dawn slipping in through the curtains. It was 5:39 a.m. according to the clock on the nightstand. Maybe it was a bit too early. But I didn’t care. I couldn’t take chances, not with today. Not with something that could define the next phase of my life. Better to get there hours ahead of time than risk missing it entirely. For a second, it felt almost like I wanted to leave this country. Like I was actually eager to step into this new work life that had been presented to me — eager to escape everything that had tied me down here, the shadows of the past, the betrayals I was still trying to stitch myself back together from. By 6:00 a.m., I was already bathed, dressed, and ready. My hair, which I had fussed over far longer than I needed to, finally settled perfectly into place, not a strand out of line. My shoes shined

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 078

    LAUREN'S POVThe sound of the luggage box zipping cut sharply through the quiet room, that metallic rasp breaking into my thoughts like a reminder of finality. It was the sound of closing doors, of a chapter ending, of me stepping into something entirely new. I had been staring at the ceiling moments earlier, my mind restless, when Tessa finally finished convincing herself that calling a doctor wasn’t necessary.I’d had to beg her not to. She was stubborn, her concern etched into every gesture, but eventually, she let me win this one. That was one small relief, at least. Now, she crouched by the bed with the packed box standing proudly beside her, zipped, neat, and heavy. Every necessary dress, every professional piece I owned, now lay folded inside, ready for wherever the next few days would take me.I rose slowly, legs stiff from sitting too long, and crossed the short distance to my bedside. My hand hovered over the small wooden table, over the one thing I always found myself looki

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 077

    ETHAN’S POV I was no longer married to that woman Lauren, all these years she has been choking me in a marriage I had second thoughts of going into from the beginning. Now I’ve finally corrected that mistake from my life, I’ve removed that problem, but that was just one of the many problems piled up in front of me, like the one I was staring at right now I don’t know how many times I’ve stared at the numbers on the reports today. Same pages, same red lines, same sharp dip at the end of every graph. No matter how many times I look at them, they don’t change. The company is bleeding money. It’s like watching someone you love fight for their life, and all you can do is sit there with your hands tied. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my eyes. My office felt colder than usual. Or maybe it was just me. Maybe it was the weight pressing on my chest that made everything feel so heavy. My company wasn’t just a company to me. It was my life. It was my blood, my sweat, and my name. I buil

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 076

    LAUREN'S POV My eyes fluttered open slowly, the brightness above me instantly entering my vision. The harsh ceiling light felt like a thousand needles stabbing into my pupils, and I winced, instinctively raising my hand to shield my face from it. For a few seconds, the world around me spun in a dizzy blur, and when I tried to sit up, a sharp, pounding headache rushed in so suddenly that I nearly groaned. My hand flew to my temple, massaging the spot in a useless attempt to ease the throbbing pain. “Take it easy,” Tessa’s voice drifted gently to me. I felt her hand against my shoulder as she carefully supported me into a sitting position. Her tone was calm, but I could hear the concern hidden beneath it, like she was trying not to panic. It took me a moment to register exactly where I was. My gaze slid past her and toward the kitchen. My eyes caught on the empty space near the counter, the exact spot where I had collapsed. The image of falling replayed hazily in my mind, the world t

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 075

    LAUREN'S POV “So in short, Ms. Lauren, I suggest you head back home today. Tell whoever you want to tell, give them a farewell goodbye, pack up and get ready, because you’re leaving as soon as possible,” the manager said with a stiff, professional tone that carried no room for argument. I blinked, my lips parting slightly as if I had misheard her. “If you don’t show up at the airport tomorrow,” the other guy seated beside her added, his voice sharper, “we’ll take it that you do not want to go, and that you’ve dropped your position as Business Development Manager.” My mouth fell open. “But…” I was immediately cut off by the manager, who didn’t even give me the courtesy of completing my sentence. “That would be all,” she said firmly. “Any further information will be sent to your email. Thank you.” The finality in her tone was like the slamming of a door in my face. Then, as if my presence in the room was now a burden, she tilted her head toward the door, gesturing for me to leav

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 074

    LAUREN'S POV “Wait… so what are you saying now?” I asked, my voice carrying more disbelief than I intended. My mind struggled to process what the manager had just said, as though the words had been spoken in a foreign language I didn’t quite understand. “Exactly what you heard,” the manager replied, her tone calm yet firm, as though this was a simple matter of business. “You’re being transferred to Italy to work for one of Hale Industries’ branches.” For a moment, all I could do was stare at her, then let my gaze shift toward the men seated across from her, their expressions unreadable, their silence almost oppressive. It felt like they had delivered a verdict, one that they expected me to accept without question. Italy. Did she really expect me to leave everything behind, to cross an ocean just for a job I had barely started? My chest tightened at the thought, my pulse racing as a wave of resistance surged through me. “Ma’am, with due respect… I don’t think that would be possib
