Chapter Six – The Dream I Left Behind

Elena’s POV

The car stopped in front of the house I once called home.

I sat there for a few seconds without moving, my fingers still wrapped tightly around my bag. My heart was beating slowly now, not fast like before, but heavy, as if every beat carried something painful with it.

This place…

It had been a long time.

After I got married, I stopped coming here. Daniel did not like it. He said a married woman should stay in her husband’s home, not run back to

    Chapter Six – The Dream I Left BehindElena’s POVThe car stopped in front of the house I once called home.I sat there for a few seconds without moving, my fingers still wrapped tightly around my bag. My heart was beating slowly now, not fast like before, but heavy, as if every beat carried something painful with it.This place…It had been a long time.After I got married, I stopped coming here. Daniel did not like it. He said a married woman should stay in her husband’s home, not run back to her old life.And I listened.Like I always did.I pushed the door open and stepped out. The air felt different here. Quiet. Still. Almost like time had been waiting for me to come back.When I unlocked the door and stepped inside, a soft smell greeted me. It was not unpleasant. It was just… old. Untouched. Like memories that had been left behind.I closed the door slowly and stood there.No voices, no tension, no one judging me.Just silence.I let out a long breath I did not know I was holdi

  • Please Don’t Go, My Ex   Her Decision

    Chapter Five – Her DecisionElena’s POVI sat in the hospital room for a long time after hearing the news, the word pregnant repeating itself in my mind in a way that refused to fade no matter how many times I tried to silence it.At first, I could not believe it, and my hands moved slowly, almost cautiously, toward my stomach as though I might somehow confirm it was not real, yet even though nothing felt different on the outside, I knew something had already taken root inside me, something small, something alive, something that belonged to me and to Daniel.My child.A faint, uncertain smile touched my lips, not because anything in my life had suddenly become better, but because for the first time in a long while I did not feel completely alone in the world, as though something had quietly chosen to stay with me even when everything else had been taken away, but that feeling did not last.His voice returned without warning, cold and distant, cutting through that fragile warmth as tho

  • Please Don’t Go, My Ex   The Goodbye

    Chapter Four – The GoodbyeElena’s POVWhen I returned to the table, I tried my best to keep my head high and sit as though nothing had happened, even though my composure felt like it was quietly cracking from the inside and my eyes still burned from the tears I had refused to let fall in front of them, while my heart felt heavy as though it had been torn apart and stitched back together in a way that no longer made sense.Daniel was sitting close to her, the woman he called his childhood friend, and he was smiling at something she whispered into his ear, that same effortless smile I had once believed was meant for me, the kind I had prayed for, waited for, and slowly learned to stop expecting from him.The moment I sat down, his sister’s voice cut sharply through the atmosphere, loud enough for everyone to hear as she leaned back with a satisfied expression that made it clear she had been waiting for this moment.“Oh, look at her face,” she said with obvious mockery. “Did you cry? Do

  • Please Don’t Go, My Ex   The Corner

    Chapter Three – The CornerElena’s POVThe moment Daniel dragged me into the corner, my heart began pounding so loudly that I was certain anyone nearby could hear it, the sound echoing in my chest as his grip tightened around my arm with a force that made me wince, though I said nothing, because the sting against my skin was insignificant compared to the ache spreading slowly through my chest.“Why did you come here?” he hissed under his breath, his voice low but sharp with irritation. “Why, Elena? Must you always find a way to disgrace me?”My lips trembled as I struggled to steady my voice, even though everything inside me felt like it was slipping out of control. “Daniel… remember your mother called me, and I only came because it’s your birthday. I just… I just wanted to be here for you.”He let out a bitter, humorless laugh, shaking his head as though my presence alone offended him. “If you had signed those divorce papers earlier, none of this would have happened. Don’t you unders

  • Please Don’t Go, My Ex   The Dinner

    Chapter Two – The DinnerI arrived at Golden Crown Hotel with my heart beating so fast it felt like it wanted to jump out of my chest. I kept telling myself this was a chance. Maybe if I showed up, Mama Grace and the rest of the family would see that I still cared. Maybe they would accept me.I walked into the bright, glittering hall. The smell of food, the soft music, the clinking of glasses—it was all so grand, so much more than I had imagined. For a second, I felt out of place in my simple dress, but I forced myself to stand tall.Then my eyes moved to the table.Four chairs. That was what I had expected. One for Mama Grace, one for my sister-in-law, one for Daniel, and one for me.But there were five chairs.My heart skipped. Why five? I blinked quickly, pretending not to notice. Maybe it was just an extra seat. Maybe I was overthinking.I walked forward and bent slightly. “Good evening, Mama. Good evening, Lena,” I greeted softly, trying to sound respectful.Mama Grace only nodd

  • Please Don’t Go, My Ex   Happy Birthday

    Chapter One – Happy BirthdayI held the small chocolate cake in my hands, trying not to let them shake. I had saved little by little from my salary just to buy it. It wasn’t much, but I told myself it would be enough. After all, it’s not about how big the gift is, but the heart behind it.I had even managed to buy him a shirt last month. It was still hidden inside a small bag near the sofa, wrapped in plain paper. I imagined the smile on his face when he saw it, when he realized I still thought of him, still loved him, despite everything.I wanted tonight to be different. Maybe, just maybe, he would look at me the way he used to.I lit the two candles and waited by the door. When I heard the lock turn, my heart jumped. Quickly, I switched off the lights. The living room went dark, except for the soft glow of the candles.As the door opened and Daniel stepped inside, I walked forward, forcing a smile even though my chest was already tight with nerves.“Happy birthday!” I said, my voic
