The car was quiet, too quiet.

Calla sat in the backseat beside Killian, her fingers laced tightly on her lap. Outside the window, the world drifted by in slow motion, too calm for the kind of storm she felt building inside.

Killian stole a glance at her. She looked...collected. But he knew better.

“You sure about this?” he asked finally, voice low but firm.

She didn’t look at him. “We’re already halfway there.”

“That’s not what I asked.”

Calla inhaled deeply through her nose, then t

  • The EX-Wife Returns    Chapter 250: The End

    A day after coming home from the hospital, the big mansion felt different. The loud cheers from the wedding were gone. Vanessa and Rory had gone back. The happy shouts of friends had faded away. Now, the only sounds were the soft cries of two new babies and the quiet footsteps of tired parents. Calla sat in her favorite chair in the living room. She was trying to feed little Xiomara for what felt like the hundredth time that day. The baby was sucking hard, and Calla winced in pain. “Ouch,” she whispered, her voice tired. “Killian, why did no one tell me this would hurt so much? Everyone talks about the joy, but no one talks about this pain.” Killian was walking back and forth across the room with little Xavier in his arms. The baby was crying loudly, his tiny face red and angry. Killian looked more tired than anyone had ever seen him, but his eyes shone with happiness. “I know, my love,” he said softly, rocking the crying baby gently. “I wish I could take the pain for you. I reall

    For a single second, there was complete silence in the garden. You could have heard a pin drop. Then, all hell broke loose. Killian’s calm, controlled demeanor shattered into a million pieces. His eyes widened in pure panic. “The baby! The baby is coming!” he yelled, his voice cracking. He didn’t wait for a doctor or an ambulance. In one swift move, he swept Calla up into his arms, her white dress flowing over his arms. “Out of my way!” he shouted, starting to run down the aisle. “She’s having the baby! Now!” The formal, elegant wedding instantly turned into controlled chaos. Rich and powerful guests scattered out of the path of the frantic groom. Chairs tipped over. Neva was already on her phone, barking orders to the drivers. “Forget the decorations! We’re going to the hospital! Now!” Mateo was right behind Killian, trying to help. “The car is this way, boss! This way!” “I know where the car is!” Killian yelled back, still running. Maria grabbed Gabriel’s hand, her face a p

    Calla's grip tightened on the phone. Her body went still. "Vanessa. What do you want?" "Killian called me," Vanessa said, her voice surprisingly calm and clear. "He told me about my father. About... everything he did." "And?" Calla asked, her tone still guarded, waiting for the anger or the blame. "And I'm not angry," Vanessa said, and she sounded like she meant it. "It's over. Finally. I feel... free. Like a huge weight is gone and I can breathe properly for the first time in years." Calla felt the last bit of tension leave her shoulders. A sigh of relief escaped her lips. "I'm truly glad to hear that, Vanessa." There was a comfortable pause. Then Vanessa continued. "Rory and I... we took a test. A Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test. It confirmed that Rory is the father." "That's great news," Calla said softly, meaning it. "I'm happy for you both." "We're happy," Vanessa said, and there was a light, hopeful sound in her voice. "Really, truly happy." Calla looked down

    A week later, the heavy feeling that had filled the big mansion was finally starting to fade. It felt like a dark cloud had passed, letting the sun shine through again. Calla was getting her strength back, day by day. She could now walk from her bedroom all the way to the living room without anyone's help. The air in the house felt light and easy, like the first warm day of spring after a long, cold winter. That whole day had been full of laughter and silly games. Killian, who was usually so serious and focused on work, had put everything aside. He spent the entire day with Calla and little Gabriel who was still spending time here as Maria took up plans with the restaurant, Killian and Gabriel played simple card games at the big table. They had ordered far too much food from their favorite restaurants, pizzas, pastas, and sweet desserts, and had eaten it all while watching funny movies that made them laugh until their sides hurt. For the first time in what felt like forever, the huge

  • The EX-Wife Returns    chapter 246: : New Beginnings and Goodbyes

    A few days had passed since the bomb, since Vincenzo's death with Alfredo. The big mansion felt different now, still quiet, but not so heavy. The silence was being filled with new sounds. The soft footsteps of little Gabriel running down the hall. The low voices of Jones and the other guards talking. The gentle rustle of blankets when Calla moved on the living room sofa. Calla rested with her head on Killian's lap, scrolling through videos on her phone. Killian's fingers moved slowly through her hair, his other hand resting on her growing stomach. "I still don't think you should do this today," he said, his voice tight with worry. "The doctor said complete rest. No stress." Calla looked up at him. "I'm not moving from this sofa, Killian. I'm just going to watch on a screen. But I have to be there for Maria. I made her a promise." A few days earlier, Calla had tried to go back to her own house. "Gabriel has been alone with Jones for too long," she had argued. Killian had shaken hi

    Calla swam up from the darkness slowly, like coming up from deep water. The first thing she felt was a dull ache through her whole body. The second thing was a warm, strong hand holding hers tightly. She opened her eyes bit by bit. The bright white lights of the hospital room made her blink several times. "Calla?" a rough, familiar voice whispered close to her ear. "My love, can you hear me? Please say something." She turned her head slowly on the pillow. Killian was there, his face pale and tired beside her bed. Neva stood on the other side, her usual sharp expression softened with real worry. Both of them looked like they hadn't slept for days. "The babies..." Calla managed to say, her voice coming out as a dry croak. Her hand moved weakly to her swollen stomach, needing to feel that they were still there. "They're safe," Killian said quickly, his voice full of emotion as he squeezed her hand. "They're strong, just like their mother. The doctor already checked them. They're perf

    For the first time, Damien looked shaken. His bravado cracked. “Calla, listen. If you kill me, you’ll never be free. You’ll never stop hating yourself.” She smiled, slow and chilling. “I don’t want freedom, Damien. I want revenge.” Neva stood by silently, watching, her arms crossed. Nelson lea

    The heavy oak door of his office clicked shut behind Killian, the sound echoing in the vast, silent room. He didn’t bother with the lights. The grey afternoon sky cast long shadows, matching the darkness churning inside him. All he could see was her. Calla. Laughing. Smiling. At that man, Vincenzo,

    “Five minutes,” he muttered. “Then I have to get back.” Vanessa smiled, stepping back. “Deal,” she said, walking into her room without looking back, knowing he’d follow. The guard followed her inside, his steps hesitant. Vanessa closed the door behind him and leaned against it, a triumphant gri

    The night was still. The only sound in Vanessa’s father’s mansion was the ticking of the large wall clock in the hallway and the occasional shuffle of the guards changing positions outside. The house always felt like a cage to her since the gunshot wound, but tonight it felt worse.She lay on her b
