Pregnant and Divorced: My Ex Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 138
LINA’S POVThe sound of glass breaking filled my room again. Another piece of crystal scattered across the floor as I broke everything that was made of glass.My chest heaved, my hands trembled, and my throat burned with a scream I didn’t even release.Carlos lived.That stubborn, arrogant, perfect bastard had survived the poison.I didn’t want him to live if I couldn’t have him.“How?” I hissed, grabbing the nearest vase and throwing it at the wall. It exploded into fragments. I watched as the water soaked into the rug. The white roses wilted instantly as if mocking me. “How are you still breathing, Carlos?”I ripped the curtains down next, yanking them until the rod came loose and crashed onto the floor. Fabric tore under my nails as I shredded it apart. I felt rage inside me, but beneath it, beneath the fire was a deeper ache.I collapsed onto the floor, breathing hard. My eyes landed on the wooden box shoved under my bed. I pulled it out.My fingers trembled as I lifted the lid. P

EMILY’S POVI can feel my heart pounding as Helen, Bridget, and I pull up to the private bridal studio. The building looks like something out of a dream, my dream. I’m so excited.I wonder what kind of dress I’ll end up picking. I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself. Helen squeezes my hand gently. “You’re going to be stunning, Emily. I promise.”Bridget nudges me playfully. “Don’t listen to Helen; she’s just saying that so she doesn’t have to pay for the dress.”I laugh softly despite my nerves. “Thanks, Bridget. That makes me feel so much better.” But beneath the smiles and light teasing, my stomach twists with anxiety. Today is more than just trying on wedding dresses. It is a milestone—a step closer to the life I am supposed to have.Also, I can’t stop feeling like something is going to go wrong. Or maybe I’m just being paranoid. It’s probably just the anxiety talking.As we step inside, I gasp. The studio is spacious with creamy walls, and huge crystal chandeliers.My gran

Emily’s POVThe dinner slowly winds down. The violinist plays his last gentle notes and exits quietly, leaving just soft instrumental music flowing through hidden speakers.Carlos and I sit close. Our plates empty and our glasses are nearly drained. My hand rests over my belly, and I feel the smallest flutter.Carlos’s fingers brush my knuckles. He looks at me the way he always does when the world falls away around us—like I'm the only person he's ever seen.“Are you okay?” he asks softly. He looks at my belly for a second.I nod, smiling. “Just tired. The food, the baby, the atmosphere... it’s catching up with me.”His hand squeezes mine gently. “Come here.”He stands, helps me up slowly, carefully, like I’m the most fragile thing. Like I could break if he handled me too roughly. The way he touches me now—ever since the pregnancy started—is full of care and I love it.He leads me toward a discreet door on the far end of the rooftop, and I realize I hadn’t noticed it before. It opens

Emily’s POVLater that night, I make my way to the staircase, fully dressed. I hold onto the railing as I descend, careful and slow—not just because of the growing baby bump that makes me feel awkward in my own body, but because I’m nervous. I have no idea what Carlos has planned tonight.All I know is that he told me to wear something nice. So here I am in a long, flowing silk gown, ivory with soft gold shimmer that catches the light whenever I move. It glides around my ankles but I can’t help but feel like I’m waddling. Damn pregnancy hormones.When I reach the bottom of the stairs, my eyes immediately find him.Carlos stands by the doors, looking like a scene straight out of a romance movie. He’s dressed in a fitted black suit with a charcoal shirt and no tie. His hair is styled back neatly, but a lock falls a little over his forehead. He’s holding something small in his hand. It’s a velvet box—and he’s smiling at me like I just lit up his entire world.My heart flutters uncontroll

EMILY’S POVI think a walk will help.The walls are starting to close in, no matter how secure or amazing the mansion is. The velvet curtains, the high ceilings, the wedding decorations coming together—it’s all beautiful, sure. But it isn’t freedom. It isn’t air. It isn’t peace. I need to breathe.So I slip on a sweater, lace my boots, and push open the side door leading into the gardens. The air hits me instantly. I barely make it five steps down the stone path when I hear them.“Miss Emily,” a deep voice calls politely.I turn and find two security guards falling into step behind me. One is the usual—tall, dark-haired, and always overly formal. The other, I haven’t seen before.I slow my pace, letting them catch up. “Is something wrong?”“No, ma’am,” the new one says. “We’ve been instructed to accompany you during your walks. For your safety.”I nod slowly. Of course. Of course, they are. I know this. Carlos has made it clear from the beginning—after what happened, I can’t just roam

EMILY’S POVThe sitting room is filled with the sunlight coming through the windows. The scent of fresh roses and vanilla fills the air. Someone must’ve lit one of the new candles Helen brought. I try to focus on that, on the little things. The smell, the sunlight, the pretty swatches of fabric on the table. I need to focus on anything but the feeling of anxiety in my chest.I sit at the far end of the table, pretending to examine a catalog page that displays four-tiered wedding cakes with elaborate fondant flowers. My eyes scan the words, but nothing registers. I rest my hand on my belly. It’s rounder now, heavier with the life growing inside me. She kicks sometimes.Helen is in her element, standing at the head of the table with a pen behind her ear and her phone buzzing every few minutes. She snaps into action every time it does. “So, if we choose blush for the bridesmaids’ dresses, we’ll need to make sure it complements the venue’s lighting. Warm tones, remember. The sunset over t
