James turned back to face her, his lips curling into a smile.

"Amanda," He muttered, leaning over her. "Can you hear me?" He asked, brushing his hand gently against her forehead.

Amanda's eyelashes fluttered, and a soft moan escaped her lips. She let out another distressed sound, before her eyes flickered open slowly.

James's smile broadened as he watched her.

"You've finally woken up," He said, his voice shaking in relief. "How do you feel?"

Amanda shut her eyes briefly, then spoke barely above a whisper, "Kendall…"

James didn't get what she was saying, so he had to bring his ear close to her lips.

"Kendall…"

"Kendall!" He exclaimed, straightening up. "Do you know where she is?"

"Kendall…" Her voice came out like a cry this time. "Baby…"

James realized that she might be reliving the accident, so he understood that she wasn't in the right state to give any answers.

"I'll go get the doctor. Just hang in there," James muttered, pressing a quick kiss on her forehead without th

  • Rekindling Love After Divorce    CHAPTER 131.

    The last morning of their trip arrived quietly, the sea calm and pale under the early light. The house was filled with the soft sounds of breakfast—Kendall’s laughter in the kitchen, the faint clatter of plates, the steady rhythm of the ocean outside. There was peace in the air, the kind that comes only after surviving a storm.James stood by the window, looking out at the horizon. He had watched the sunrise every morning since they arrived, but today it felt different. It felt like an ending and a beginning at the same time. Amanda came up beside him, her hair loose, her eyes bright from sleep. She followed his gaze, her voice gentle. “You’ve been quiet all morning.”He smiled slightly. “I was just thinking about how far we’ve come.”She nodded, understanding what he meant without needing to ask. The last few weeks had changed everything between them. They had arrived burdened by grief, confusion, and guilt, but they were leaving lighter. What once felt broken had found a way to men

    At the airport, they stayed close together. They kept their phones off, except for emergencies, and avoided the newsstands that still carried traces of the scandal. The flight itself was peaceful, the hum of the engines soothing in a way that felt cleansing. Kendall sat between them, drawing in her coloring book while Amanda rested her head on James’s shoulder. For the first time in months, there was no tension, no sense of waiting for the next disaster.When they landed, the warmth of the new place greeted them like a promise. The air smelled of salt and flowers, and the sky stretched endlessly above the coastline. The small villa they had rented sat on a gentle hill, overlooking the sea. It was quiet, private, and beautiful in a way that felt unreal after everything they had endured.Kendall was the first to run toward the water, her laughter filling the air. She kicked off her shoes, her feet sinking into the sand. Amanda watched her, tears stinging her eyes. It had been so long

    The days after the arrests were quiet in a way that felt almost unfamiliar. The house that once echoed with tension and hurried footsteps now sat still, holding a kind of silence that was both comforting and strange. James and Amanda were home again, together with Kendall, yet everything felt heavy. The chaos had ended, but peace did not come easily. It was as though their hearts had grown used to being on guard, and now that there was no more danger, they didn’t know how to rest.Amanda often found herself standing by the window, looking out at the street below, the light filtering through the curtains, her mind trying to make sense of everything that had happened. The betrayal, the lies, the endless waiting—it had taken something from her. But seeing Kendall asleep in her room again reminded her that they had survived, and that was enough for now.James, on the other hand, moved through the house like a man carrying too much inside. He tried to act normal, but the guilt weighed o

    The house was quiet when James returned from the hospital. For the first time in a long while, there was peace. The air no longer carried the tension of secrets or the fear of what lay ahead. It was calm, soft, and real.Amanda stood in the living room, her hand still clutching Kendall’s. The little girl looked around with cautious wonder, as though trying to remember the place she once called home. James watched them in silence, his chest tightening with emotion he couldn’t quite put into words. There had been so many nights when he thought this moment would never come, when he feared that peace would remain a distant dream. Yet here they were, standing under the same roof again.He stepped forward, his movements slow and uncertain, as if afraid the moment might dissolve if he rushed it. Amanda looked up at him, her eyes meeting his with quiet understanding. No words were needed. She reached out and he took her hand, holding it like something fragile and precious. Kendall watched

    When Betty saw the headline, her chest grew heavy as though something deep inside her had cracked. The television glowed in the dim room, showing Agnes’s calm face as she spoke to reporters from inside the police van. Her voice was steady, almost dignified, even as she confessed to everything. Every secret, every bribe, every manipulation. The words felt unreal, yet each one broke another piece of the life Betty had tried to protect.And then came the part that left her frozen—the arrest of her own parents.The room tilted slightly as the screen showed their faces, pale and expressionless, surrounded by police officers. Betty’s hands shook so hard that she dropped the remote. For a few seconds, she couldn’t breathe. The sound of the reporter’s voice faded, replaced by the pounding in her ears. Her eyes stayed fixed on the screen until it blurred before her.She pressed a trembling hand over her mouth, trying to hold back a sound that escaped anyway. It felt as if her entire world w

    The afternoon light poured weakly through the blinds of the small waiting room, casting faint lines across the tiled floor. Amanda sat on one of the wooden chairs, her hands resting on her lap, cold and unmoving. The room was too quiet, the kind of silence that carried its own weight. Every sound seemed distant—the faint voices of officers in the corridor, the low hum of the ceiling fan, the occasional rustle of papers. Her thoughts were scattered, unable to settle on one thing for long.A young officer approached her slowly, his face drawn with something between caution and sympathy. “Miss Hayes,” he said, his tone gentle, “we’ve confirmed his identity. The man in custody, Charles… His real name is Nathaniel Hayes. He’s your brother.”The words hung in the air like something unreal. Amanda blinked slowly, not fully understanding what she had just heard. For a moment, she thought she had misheard him. Her brother? The name felt foreign in her mind. She shook her head slightly, her th
