HANNAH’S POV:

THE NIGHT OF THE BALL:

I stood in front of the mirror in my walk-in closet, holding my breath as the final clasp of my dress was secured. The gown shimmered and I was impressed at the detailed work of the new intern, Freda. She was so excited when I told her I loved the dress. It was deep emerald green, satin, floor-length with a high slit that teased just above the knee. One shoulder bare, the other joined with delicate silver embroidery that reminded me of falling leaves. It was stunning. Not loud, not overdone just quietly powerful. Like I had become.

The hairstylist and make up artist had just completed their work and scurried out the room, with complimenting my facial features and my soft brown long hair. I felt beautiful, and all while they worked, Amelia was reading a book on her iPad while Andrew was busy watching a show on my bed.

They had curled Amelia’s hair and since she was already dressed like a mini version of me except hers was a flare gown, she was just

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   You Are My Wife

    HANNAH’S POV:“I’m sorry,” he murmured, his voice cracking under the weight of it. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you were born or when you were little. I’m sorry I missed everything I should’ve been there for.”I looked away, covering my mouth, because I couldn’t hold it together watching that moment unfold.Amelia looked up at him, teary-eyed but smiling faintly. “You don’t have to be sorry, Daddy. You’re here now.”That did it. The tears that had been threatening to spill finally broke free, streaming down my cheeks.Elijah kissed the top of her head, his hand trembling as he did. “You have no idea how much I love you two,” he whispered, voice heavy with emotion. “You saved me without even knowing it.”Cherry sniffled softly near the door, pretending to scroll on her phone to hide her face, while Lucas appeared behind her, quiet, just watching. There was something sacred about the silence that followed, like the air itself had gone still to make room for this moment.I wiped my che

    HANNAH’S POV:I froze. Of all the things to say, that was the last I expected. A flush rose to my face, and I stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “Elijah, you were shot, and that’s what you’re thinking about?”“Can’t help it,” he whispered, his voice raspy but amused. “Your beauty was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes. I think I’m allowed to say it.”That gentle teasing. I let out a shaky laugh that turned into a sob, and he reached out, weakly, but still managing to cup my cheek. His palm was warm, solid. I leaned into it instinctively.“I would have been in that bed or worse the kids would have been in that bed if you weren’t there. I’m so sorry…for——““You don’t have to thank me for anything. You are my wife and they are my children.” he murmured cut me off. “I’d do it again. Anytime.”My heart clenched painfully at his words. “Don’t say that,” I whispered, gripping his wrist. “Don’t ever say that again. You almost died, Elijah.”“I’d rather it be me than you,” he said

    HANNAH’S POV:FEW HOURS LATER: I stepped into the room with my heart racing after talking to Janet who completely aggrevated me. The heavens know I just wanted to rip her hair out of her head not just because she had shot and traumatized my angels but because even after everything she still had the audacity to claim Elijah was her partner. I was in utter disbelief and I promised myself that after all these was done, I was going to work with the police to ensure that she was behind bars for this because lord knows who she would hurt next. Elijah seemed to be asleep and my heart sank when I saw him laying on the hospital bed in hospital clothing with everything connected and hearing the beeping of machine sound. What if he had died? How would I have felt? What if the doctors are wrong and it hit a vital organ? I dismissed all those thoughts and just held his hand and took a seat next to him, with tears in my eyes trying to find words to say to him. Should I thank him for accompanyi

    3RD POV:“I mean us. Our marriage. It feels like we are on a break like a random couple.” His voice was quiet, almost fragile. “We don’t fly to see each other anymore, there are no calls you just ignore my calls and text messages, we don’t sleep under the same roof… but I don’t feel like we’re really together anymore. I know it’s my fault but….what does this mean for us.”Cherry looked down at her hands, twisting her ring. The silence stretched, broken only by the hum of the hospital air conditioner.“I don’t know, Jacob,” she finally whispered. “I honestly don’t know.”His chest tightened and he closed his eyes tightly. “That’s not an answer.”“It’s the only one I have right now.” Her eyes glistened. “I care about you, I do. But everything’s been so messy. With Elijah, with our families, with both our jobs, with everything that happened.. I don’t even know who I am in the middle of all this anymore.”He stared at her for a long moment, then nodded slowly, the hurt settling deep behin

    3RD POV:Her father’s voice rose slightly, “Because there’s no proof, Hannah! None! Janet’s been through hell because of you. The least you can do is stop adding fuel to her misery.”Her voice trembled from rage, not fear. “Her misery? What about mine? What about Elijah’s? What about my children watching the man who protects them fall to the ground because of her? Are you crazy?”“Watch your tone, young lady!” Her father snapped like he was talking to a little child and Hannah stared at him with pure irritation.Her mother crossed her arms. “You’ve always dramatized things. Maybe you saw or heard wrong—”“Don’t.” Hannah’s voice dropped, cold and dangerous. “Don’t you dare gaslight me again.”They froze at the venom in her tone. The last trace of the obedient daughter they used to control was gone.“I’m done letting you rewrite reality to protect Janet,” she continued, her voice steady now. “You raised her to believe she could do anything, hurt anyone, and you’d still clean up the mess

    3RD POV:THREE HOURS LATER:The tension in the hallway was through the roof, and it was like everyone was preparing something to say. The doctor had stated that they should wait a bit longer before seeing Elijah as he was being moved to another room. So they obeyed and waited with different emotions, and thoughts running through their minds. Martin was tapping his feet repeatedly, and Janet was leaning against the wall staring at everybody. Hannah was about to head to the bathroom to wash off the blood on my hands but paused when she heard Mrs Martinez speak.“How are you son?” She asked Martin softly and he chuckled bitterly.He scratched the top of his eyebrow and softly said, “We are all here for Elijah, so please refrain yourself from talking to me and just stay the hell away from me.”“Don't talk to your mother like that.” Mr Martinez said and he laughed, “So you can speak? I thought she had to tell you when to do that, or how to react or did she already whisper it to you.”The M
