ELIJAH’S POV:

THAT NIGHT:

I knocked repeatedly waiting for the doors to be opened and with each pause, my hand got more shaky. I was so tired, and it was getting chilly though I doubt it had anything to do with the weather. It was just me, and my drinking.

Finally after what felt like hours, the doors opened, “Eli, how are you doing? What are you doing here this late?”

“You are not okay! Come in.” He grabbed me by my hand and led me inside, and I was instantly warmed up by the warmth of his ho

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Daddy's One and Only

    MARY'S POV:​Did you know about this? Did you have any idea what is going on at Elowen's school right now? Did you know she is getting cornered by other kids? Did you know people are printing lies and telling her we are going to end up sleeping on the street? Did you know, Alistair? Or do you just not care about your own daughter anymore?​Then came the silence.​No reply text. No incoming call. No word of apology. Just the cold, empty quiet of a man who had already washed his hands of us. The screen glowed for a moment, marking the text as delivered, then changing to show it had been opened and read. And then nothing at all.​Of course. He had not picked up my frantic calls back when I was in actual danger. Why would he bother answering me now?​I stared down at the glowing screen, my chest heavy. He had seen the message. He had read every word about his daughter being hurt. And he had deliberately chosen to say nothing.​Right as I was about to lock the phone, a strange, creeping fe

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Father's Cold Silence

    MARY'S POV:​"But I know none of that is true! Mommy has never taken anything that belonged to someone else. So I told them to shut their mouths and stop lying about us. Then my teacher told me it was very rude of me to yell at my classmates like that. And my friend does not play with me at recess anymore."​I bent down and pressed a long kiss against her forehead, then asked as gently as I could, "Why did you not tell me about this sooner, sweetie?"​"Because I did not want to make you sad. Besides, I can take care of myself. You believe me, right, Mommy?"​She looked straight into my eyes, her face completely serious. Her gaze was steady, unwavering, the gaze of a little girl who had been forced to grow up far too fast. The gaze of a child who had learned, from watching me over the years, that problems were supposed to be swallowed down and hidden away in silence.​"Of course I believe you."​What else could I possibly say to her?​After my daughter finally drifted off to sleep, I s

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   They Hurt My Daughter

    MARY'S POV:​"Some of them cornered me near the playground and asked if Mommy and I were going to get kicked out of our house soon and end up digging through trash cans on the streets."​She said it so quietly. Her voice dropped to a low whisper, as if saying it out loud in the quiet room would make the words come true.​I could picture the whole thing so clearly in my head. My tiny daughter, surrounded by a group of kids her own age, their faces twisted with a cruel delight they were too young to truly understand. I could hear their loud voices, repeating lines they had heard from their parents at the dinner table, from the internet, or from a world that had already decided I was a terrible person. I could see her standing there all by herself, her tiny hands balled up into tight fists at her sides, her chin held up high even while her eyes filled with tears she refused to drop.​I reminded myself that I had just made a solemn pinky promise with her. I could not let my eyes fill up.

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

    MARY'S POV:​"First, Mommy, no matter what I tell you, you can't cry, okay?"​My daughter looked at me with total seriousness, holding out her little pinky finger to demand a promise. Her small hand was steady in the dim room, her eyes fixed on mine with a focus that made my chest ache with a sudden sharp pain. The small nightlight in the corner cast a soft glow across her face, showing the round curve of her cheek, the firm set of her jaw, and the faint tiredness under her eyes that had no business being on a child so young.​I agreed right away, even though a bad feeling had already started settling deep in my stomach. The feeling was cold and nasty, coiling in my gut like a hidden knot. It crept up my spine, squeezing until taking a simple breath felt hard. I hooked my pinky finger around hers and gave it a gentle, quiet squeeze.​"I promise, baby. I will not cry."​Then she started telling me everything.​Her voice was quiet at first, slow and hesitant, as if she was testing how m

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Secret My Daughter Kept

    MARY'S POV:​If I had not finally found the courage to pack up and get us out of there, would she have eventually grown up to become just another heartbroken version of me?​The cold thought was sharp and painful, cutting right through the cozy warmth of the room. I thought back to all the long years I had spent shrinking my own personality, making myself smaller and quieter until I barely felt real anymore. I thought about the way my sweet little girl had watched my every move, learned from my quiet fear, and absorbed my silence the way a sponge soaks up water.​Thank God I had finally left that place, and I swore to myself that I would never, ever go back.​I even felt a tiny bit envious of how effortlessly Marl made everything look. He did not just make kids feel safe around him. He naturally made them look up to him, want to be around him, and still feel completely free to be their silly selves. He possessed a natural confidence without being arrogant, a playful spirit without bei

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Life Without Fear

    MARY'S POV:​My daughter probably thought she was whispering softly enough that only he could hear, but I caught every single word loud and clear. "Shh! He is Mommy's superhero. She just never wants to admit it to anyone. Whenever someone catches us watching the cartoon on TV, she always pretends I am the one who asked to put it on!"​Marl burst out laughing on the spot.​The sound filled the cozy carriage, warm, rich, and utterly delighted. I felt an instant mix of deep embarrassment and helpless amusement. My cheeks burned hot, my hands tightened on the grips, and I wanted nothing more than to shrink down and disappear into the seat cushion.​"You two do know I can hear every single word you are saying, right?" I said, keeping my voice dry and unimpressed.​That only made him laugh twice as hard. He practically doubled over, his shoulders shaking with genuine amusement, his breath coming in quick gasps. I was so mortified that I could barely keep my hands steady, and the front tires
