HANNAH’S POV:

And then one by one, the rest of them agreed. The interns were practically buzzing in their chairs. Kate and Moses had another one of their eye conversations and both nodded at exactly the same time which was still a little bit unsettling to watch but I was genuinely grateful for it. Even Sandra, after a moment where she looked at the ceiling and exhaled through her nose very loudly like she was releasing something she had been holding, said, "Fine. But I am going to need the supp

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Vesper's Fake Injury

    MARY'S POV:​The sudden shout echoed loudly through the quiet hospital corridor, sharp, furious, and full of total rage.​"What the hell do you two think you are doing?"​I turned my head around instantly.​Alistair was standing right at the far end of the hallway, his face flushed bright red with pure anger and his dark eyes blazing with fury. He was carrying Vesper tightly in his arms, holding her body cradled against his chest as if she were some kind of fragile, precious treasure that needed to be protected from the world. Her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck, her face buried deep into his shoulder, completely hiding her expression from view. She looked small and helpless in his arms, the perfect picture of a weak, vulnerable woman in distress.​Right behind them, a young hospital nurse was walking fast to keep up, her face completely flushed with frustration. Her blue uniform scrubs were rumpled, her messy hair was falling out of its tight bun, and her breath was coming

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   An Unexpected Comfort

    MARY'S POV:​I raised one eyebrow at him. "And raising your prices actually gave you more free time to rest?"​"It did the exact opposite, actually," he chuckled softly. "Because they are paying such a ridiculously high price for my time, they feel even more entitled to hire me for every little problem. That kept happening until..."​"Until you started wearing a mask over your face?" I guessed with a small smile.​"Until I instituted a strict rule telling them that if they wanted me to show up in person, Hotch had to be standing right beside me."​The two of us burst into a light laugh together. The cheerful sound echoed through the empty hospital corridor, feeling light, unexpected, and warm. For a brief moment, the suffocating weight of the night seemed to lift off my chest. I could feel the deep tension finally draining out of my tight neck muscles, and the sharp tightness in my ribs began to ease up.​I looked up at his face, really taking him in for the first time all night. I no

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Shoulder to Lean On

    MARY'S POV: ​My face went hot, a bright red blush spreading fast across my cheeks. I instantly let go of his jacket as if the fabric had burned my skin, my hand snapping right back down to my side. I could feel the hot blood rushing straight to my face, and I felt the sudden awkward tension fill up the tiny space between us. My heart was pounding hard against my ribs, my breathing coming out in short, shallow puffs. ​Marl stood there watching my nervous, frantic movements, slowly raising one dark eyebrow. There was zero judgment sitting in his dark eyes, and not a single trace of mockery on his face. He just watched me quietly, a subtle hint of amusement playing around the corners of his mouth. ​I felt deeply relieved that he did not burst out laughing at my awkward reaction or act offended by my touch. He could have easily cracked a mean joke at my expense, or he could have teased me to make me feel even more uncomfortable. But he did not do any of those things. He simply stood th

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Safe at Last

    MARY'S POV:​He had not lost his life on the street just because he chose to stand up and help me. The people who cared about me were not going to suffer permanent, tragic damage this time because of my mess...​All the frantic strength that had been keeping my body upright for the past three hours vanished in a single instant.​My legs went completely weak, my knees buckling beneath my weight like wet paper. The long hallway tilted sideways, the ceiling lights spinning in wild circles above my head. I was falling fast, my exhausted body completely giving out as the heavy strain of the entire night finally caught up with me all at once. I could feel the cold room air rushing past my cheeks, and I could see the hard floor coming up fast to hit me.​Marl moved instantly, reaching out his long arms to catch me before I hit the ground.​His strong arms wrapped firmly around my upper body, pulling my chest tight against his jacket. I felt the deep warmth of his body through his clothes, an

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Waiting for a Miracle

    MARY'S POV:​The bright fluorescent light strips running along the hospital ceiling hummed loudly overhead, throwing a harsh, sickly pale glow across the clean floor tiles. I sat still on the hard plastic waiting chair, my cold fingers laced tightly together in my lap, while my eyes stayed glued to the heavy double doors of the trauma unit. The long minutes stretched into unbearable hours, each single tick of the clock feeling twice as long as the last one, every second heavy with the suffocating weight of waiting for news.​The plastic chair felt freezing cold beneath my body, hard and uncomfortable against the back of my legs. The entire hallway smelled strongly of harsh chemical cleaner, rubbing alcohol, and cold panic, that exact same sterile smell that seemed to cling to every single hospital building I had ever stepped foot inside. From behind the thick glass doors, I could hear the faint, echoing sounds of the emergency room, the rapid beeping of heart monitors, the muffled mur

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Left Behind

    ALISTAIR'S POV:​Was not Marl supposed to be my loyal friend? Was he not just a small-time local lawyer who had only gotten rich and successful because I handed him big corporate cases? The guy who loved throwing massive drinking parties and spent all his free time flattering rich women? I had practically built his career for him. I had handed him endless financial opportunities. I had trusted him with my deep secrets.​And now he was holding me up in the air by my shirt like I was a piece of garbage.​Marl swung his arm and threw me down onto the driveway.​A sharp, awful pain shot straight through my entire body, making it feel like every single bone in my spine had just broken into pieces. My back hit the hard gravel driveway with a loud thud, the sharp little stones digging right through my thin shirt and deep into my skin. All the air was instantly forced out of my chest, and I lay there flat on my back, gasping wildly for breath, completely unable to move my arms or legs. The da
