LAUREN'S POV

“Once you walk out of these doors, I don’t want to ever see you here again.” Those words had burned into my memory like hot iron against skin. Ethan’s voice still echoed in my head whenever I let my mind drift back to that day. I remember the way his face looked cold, unbothered, as if the five years plus we spent together as husband and wife meant absolutely nothing to him. It was funny, in a bitter kind of way, how it only took him three short weeks to dismantle what we’d built over half a decade.

Yet here I was, just weeks later, standing on the edge of doing exactly what I swore I would never do, going back to that house. Back to him. But not for him never for him. This was about Elena.

I glanced down at the blanket in my hand, the one that had been with Elena since she was a baby, the edges a little frayed, but it still smelled faintly of her baby fragrance. That blanket meant the world to her, it was her comfort, her security. Without it, she’d stay up all night,

  • 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

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 045

    ETHAN'S POVI stared hard at the woman standing beside Lauren, my eyes narrowing slightly as recognition struck me like a slap. “You again?” I muttered under my breath, my tone sharp with disbelief. Of all people, it had to be her.Tessa. Lauren’s so-called best friend. The same woman I’d never liked from the beginning.She always had this strange aura about her, always trying too hard to fit into our lives, like a puzzle piece that didn’t belong. She latched on to Elena like her life depended on it, forcing herself into moments that didn’t concern her, attaching herself to our family just because she didn’t have one of her own. And now, here she was again, stepping into a conversation that wasn’t hers.“And why,” I asked, my voice thick with contempt, “should I believe a single word that comes out of your mouth?”Tessa crossed her arms and held her ground. She didn’t flinch, didn’t back down. Instead, she looked at me with this fiery glare that made my jaw tighten.“I know my friend

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 044

    LAUREN'S POV My nails dug into the skin of my palms as I clenched my fists, my chest heaving with silent sobs I refused to release. She could have insulted me all she wanted. She could have mocked my past, called me names, twisted the truth. But bringing up my daughter, my Elena was unforgivable. I came here to mourn my child. But instead, I walked straight into a trap. And Ethan? He didn’t even notice. He didn’t see the wicked curl of Sofia’s lips. He only saw me, the woman he used to know, now a mother broken by loss, blamed for causing a scene. “Are you okay?” Ethan asked, his eyes locked on Sofia, who was now clinging to him like a helpless child. I watched her carefully, every movement, every subtle shift in her expression. The smirk she had worn so confidently just moments ago quickly dissolved as soon as Ethan turned to look at her. Her expression softened, and with a quivering voice, she responded, “No, I’m not. You didn’t tell me you were married to a crazy woman.” He

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 043

    LAUREN'S POV The moment I saw who was standing in front of me, my entire body went cold. My stomach turned violently, like I’d swallowed acid. A wave of nausea rushed through me, and my skin began to crawl as if it were trying to escape my own bones. My hand twitched uncontrollably by my side, an involuntary reaction from the anger bubbling inside me. I had to clench my fists tightly to stop myself from acting on the violent thought already forming in my head, grabbing the nearest object and smashing it into her face over and over until the rage inside me was gone. There she stood, Sofia. Ethan’s mistress. The woman who had destroyed everything. I hadn’t seen her since that day at the office, the day I’d come face-to-face with the cold reality of the betrayal that had shattered my world. Back then, it took every ounce of self-control I had to not break down in front of her. And now, she had the audacity to show up here, in front of me, uninvited and unannounced. It was like she w

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 042

    LAUREN'S POV I sat there, staring blankly at the dinner right in front of me. It had been twenty-four hours since I lost Elena, yet somehow, her memory clung to me like a second skin I couldn’t peel off. The food looked warm and inviting, but to me, it might as well have been ashes. Tessa’s voice floated around me, sometimes faint, sometimes sharp enough to pierce through the heavy fog that wrapped itself around my mind. She was scolding me again, just like she always did whenever I lost myself too deeply in grief. “I swear, Lauren, do you want to starve yourself to death?” she snapped, her tone carrying both frustration and worry. It was the word death that finally pulled me back, made me lift my eyes from the untouched food. Death felt so close now, almost like an old friend beckoning me. My only joy had gone there why couldn’t I follow? I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came. My chest felt hollow, and the heaviness in my heart weighed every breath down. Just then, the
