ETHAN'S POV

I sped through the streets like a madman, my hand glued to the horn as if its blare could magically part the traffic in front of me. Every slow-moving car felt like a personal insult, every red light an enemy I had to conquer. My eyes kept moving from the road to the glowing numbers on my dashboard clock, each second that ticked by made me even angrier.

Come on. Move, damn it.

The hospital was only minutes away, yet it felt as if the city itself was conspiring to slow me down. My mind was racing even faster than the car, flooded with thoughts of Sofia and more than anything, the baby. What if something had happened? What if the message she sent was the last calm before the storm?

I dialed her number again, pressing the phone to my ear, silently begging her to pick up. But the robotic voice telling me the number was unreachable sliced through the car like a knife. I cursed under my breath, gripping the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. My heart hammered so

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 051

    LAUREN'S POV“I know she deserves more, but at this point, we just have to.” Tessa’s voice was soft but carried a firmness I had heard before. Usually when she had already made up her mind about something.I shook my head slowly, taking a deliberate step back as if putting physical space between her words and my heart would make them less true. “No,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper at first before it gained strength. “Elena will be buried here.”Her brows furrowed. “How?” Tessa asked, a mix of confusion and concern painting her face. She knew the question was more than about logistics, it was about the impossible.And the worst part was… I didn’t know how. I had no answers, no miracle tucked away in my back pocket, just this gaping wound in my chest and the weight of my little girl’s absence pressing down on me until I could barely breathe. My hand rose to my face, fingers digging into my skin as if pressing hard enough could stop the tears from coming. Frustration bubbled up,

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 050

    LAUREN'S POV My eyes slowly slid open, the faint sting of light forcing me to squint. At first, all I saw was a hazy blur, the outlines of shapes swimming before my vision like shadows under water. My breath came slow and uneven, and it took me several seconds before the realization hit me — I had passed out. For a moment, I just lay there, my mind trying to piece together the events that had led to this. My chest rose and fell as I remembered the last time something like this happened, the first time I collapsed from stress and exhaustion, only to wake up in a hospital bed thanks to a stranger who had taken pity on me. Back then, the doctor’s words had been firm and clear: Don’t overexert yourself, don’t push beyond your limits. But really, what choice did I have? With everything Ethan had done… with the betrayal, the humiliation, and now this — how could I possibly stay calm? Stress had become my shadow, following me everywhere, and I was powerless to shake it off. A soft, dist

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 049

    SOFIA'S POV The car door shut with a satisfying click, sealing the two of us away from the dreary gray of the cemetery. As the tinted windows muted the world outside, I leaned back in my seat and allowed myself the smallest, most indulgent smile. The kind of smile that starts slow and deep, curling up from the chest like smoke. God, that had gone perfectly. I could still see the look on Ethan’s face when the whispers began, when Lauren’s sharp eyes narrowed and her lips parted in that little gasp of disbelief. And the way the rest of the crowd had turned like vultures scenting a fresh kill toward him, toward the man who’d been so certain he could keep his dirty little visit to me a secret. Of course, he hadn’t realized that when I’d leaned in with what he thought was affection to straighten his collar, I was really doing something far more delicious. My fingers had lingered just enough to press the tiny mic — no bigger than a button — into place. The mic was already connected to t

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 048

    LAUREN'S POV I watched them walk away, their silhouettes shrinking against the horizon with every step. My body stayed frozen in place, my knees digging painfully into the sand, but I barely felt it. The gritty particles clung to my skin, sticking to the dampness of my legs, and my hands were buried deep in the coarse grains as if holding onto the earth itself might keep me from collapsing completely. The tears that streamed down my face dripped steadily onto the ground, mixing with the sand until tiny dark patches bloomed beneath me. “Please… don’t go,” I called out one more time, my voice breaking into a pitiful rasp. “Elena… she needs this.” My words echoed weakly in the stillness, drifting after them like fragile smoke. I kept staring at Ethan’s back, hoping desperately that he would pause, glance over his shoulder, maybe let even a flicker of decency soften him. But he didn’t stop. He didn’t turn around. His stride didn’t falter, not even for a moment. A deep, hollow ache swe

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 047

    LAUREN'S POV“I suggest you pick it up and sign it today,” Ethan’s voice cut through the air, each word sharp and deliberate, “because from now henceforth, I am done with you. There’s no reason whatsoever that I need to be in contact with you anymore. When you left, I still had your contact saved because of Elena, but since she’s no longer here, I don’t ever want to see your face again.”The words slammed into me like a heavy stone striking my chest. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. My fingers tightened slightly against my side as I stared at the ground, not trusting myself to look him in the eye. The sound of his voice cold, resolute made it clear this wasn’t just anger speaking. He meant every syllable.A heavy silence hung between us, thick enough to choke on. I could feel the weight of every glance. People weren’t even pretending not to listen, they were watching, quietly drinking in the scene unfolding before them.Then, Tessa moved. She stepped to my side, her heels clicki

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 046

    LAUREN'S POVThe picture of Elena was squeezed tightly in my trembling hand, the edges worn from how often I’d held it, stared at it cried over it. Her innocent smile frozen in time, so full of life, of laughter, of everything that used to make my world make sense.Now, it all felt like a lie.I thought I had endured the worst pain imaginable. I thought losing her, my baby, my light, was the most I would ever have to bear. But I was wrong.What I just heard from Ethan… no, not just heard, what everyone just heard was far worse than anything I could’ve imagined. It was more than betrayal. It was monstrous.The place had fallen into stunned silence, whispers buzzing like flies in the corners. Eyes flicked from me to him, judgment heavy in the air. People exchanged glances, disbelief etched into their faces, as if unsure whether they had truly heard what they thought they had.And Ethan? He stood there with that same look on his face, confusion… or was it guilt trying to wear the mask of
