LAUREN'S POV

Tears were already streaming down my cheeks before I even realized it. My entire body trembled as I watched Ethan aim the gun at my daughter. My little girl. My heart pounded so hard it hurt, my throat burned, and my knees felt weak beneath me. I wanted to scream, to run toward her, to do something, but I couldn’t. There was nothing I could do, not when he had that gun pointed straight at Aria’s back.

“Please…” I whispered, my voice breaking as I tried to move, but the fear kept me frozen in place. Every breath I took felt sharp, like tiny knives stabbing through my chest.

My eyes darted to my side, desperate for help, for anyone and I searched for Roman. He was right there beside me just seconds ago, standing still and alert, watching Ethan’s every move. But now, he was gone. My heart skipped a beat. Where was he?

Then I looked back at Ethan, confusion filling my chest. Just as his finger tightened around the trigger, a sudden blur of motion caught my eyes. Roman. He

Even though I hate Ethan and he deserves to suffer.. I really hope his smug reaction when he was told by Lauren that he got slapped because he went back to the woman who killed their daughter was just his pride. I hope he has to suffer and have some humanity to live with the fact of that knowledge.

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0220

    ELIZABETH'S POV I knew why she was calling. Jessica never wasted time, especially when she was waiting for juicy updates, so I already knew she wanted to ask how everything went and if Lauren was truly my sister. The phone kept buzzing beside me, vibrating against the covers like it was rushing me. I let out a small breath, picked it up, and answered, placing the phone against my ear. “Tell me, did you confirm it? Is she your twin?” Jessica asked immediately, sounding like she’d been holding the question in her chest all day. “Well, from what I’ve seen so far, I would likely say yes. Like you said, there’s no need to go to the hospital to confirm it. She literally looked like my photocopy today, we even wore the same dress.” I said, sitting down on the bed and crossing my legs slowly, letting myself sink into the mattress. “Wow, that’s good news, I am really happy for you,” Jessica said. “Yeah, whatever,” I replied, shrugging it off like it was some boring update from a stran

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0219

    ELIZABETH'S POV All my life, I’ve always gotten what I wanted. It wasn’t something I hid, and it wasn’t something I was ashamed of. Even though I’m currently annoyed with my parents and still not fully over the fact that they kept the truth about my adoption hidden from me, they have still been the best parents I could have ever asked for. They raised me like a princess — no, scratch that, they raised me like a queen. They gave me anything and everything I ever wanted, from the smallest little trinket I pointed at as a child to the most outrageous demands I made as a teenager. And the most important thing they ever gave me was a mentality, a belief that if you want something badly enough and you put your mind towards it, then nothing is impossible. You can have anything you want. And right now… I was going to put that mentality straight into work. Because the moment I set my eyes on Roman Hale, something in me shifted. It wasn’t the usual curiosity or that slight feminine excitemen

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 0218

    ELIZABETH'S POV I let out a small sigh that sounded just soft enough to pass as guilt or maybe something close to remorse. I wasn’t exactly the best at pretending, but I hoped it would come across the way I needed it to. Then I lifted my gaze slightly and said, “Ok, maybe I might have reacted too much, I’m sorry about that.” My voice wasn’t shaky or emotional, just calm… the way an apology should sound when you want people to stop looking at you a certain way. While speaking, most of my attention went straight to Roman. I was trying not to make it too obvious, but I still glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, just to see if the apology made any difference. He gave me a small nod — nothing dramatic, nothing that revealed too much emotion, just a simple acknowledgment. Lauren mirrored the same gesture, nodding as well, so I guess they both accepted it. Or at least they pretended that they did. “If you're only here for a business conclusion, then you're staying at a hotel?” Laur

  • 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
