HANNAH’S POV:

He watched me with that unreadable look…the one that always made my stomach flip.

“You don’t have to fuss over me,” he murmured.

I looked up. “Elijah, you got shot protecting me. You’re lucky I haven’t wrapped you in bubble wrap.”

He chuckled, and then winced again, hand flying instinctively to his shoulder.

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

    HANNAH'S POV: We told the twins at dinner. Andrew went very still and his fsce showed how surprised he was and Amelia made a sound that started low and rose considerably. They couldn't hide their joy. "Three," she said. "Yes, three," Elijah confirmed. "At the same time," she said. "Generally how triplets work," Andrew said, having completed his initial processing and returned to the factual. “We are having more siblings to play with.” Amelia turned to him. "We are going to be outnumbered soon." "We are already two," Andrew said. "Three more makes us five. The two of us have been operating as a unit for eight years. We have a significant strategic advantage, now that we are going to be the older siblings, we are going to be on our best behavior." "We need to coordinate on our new siblings," Amelia said. "I already have ideas," Andrew said. They looked at each other in that twin way and Elijah looked at me across the table. "Are they planning against us already?"

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Ones On The Way

    HANNAH'S POV:The doctor arrived by eleven.The twins had gone to school. I had made breakfast normally and done the normal morning things and Andrew had told me something about how muscle memory worked while he was eating his toast and I had listened to all of it with ninety percent of my attention. Amelia had done her hair at the kitchen counter again and I had let it go because I was thinking about other things. Elijah had stood at the island with his coffee and watched me with the expression he was doing his best to keep neutral.After they left for school he said, "How long have you felt like this?""A few days," I said."A few days," he said."I wanted to be sure before I said anything," I said.He nodded. He understood that. He understood most things about me by now.The doctor was calm and careful and afterwards confirmed what I had been starting to know.And then she said the second part."There are three," she said.I looked at her."Three," I said."Three," she confirmed.I

The woman who had held that folder for thirty years and had lost her sister and thought she lost me too until my husband had searched for her and brought us together.Thirty percent to me.My lawyer said I was entitled to the full amount. Elijah sat beside me and said carefully that he just wanted to make sure I had thought it through. I said I had thought about nothing else for two weeks. I said I have my company and my husband and my children and everything I built with my own hands. Adele spent thirty years as the guardian of everything my mother was owed. She deserves more than I do.Elijah looked at me for a long moment. Then he said, "Okay." And that was the end of the conversation.When I told Adele she was quiet for a long time.Then she said, "Thank you much Hannah." A pause. "You are so like her."I pressed my hand over my mouth for a moment."She would have been prou

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

    HANNAH'S POV:The verdict came six weeks later.Castellan called at nine in the morning on a Tuesday and I was in the design room at the new building working on the winter collection when my phone rang. I saw her name and sat down on the nearest stool before I answered it."We won," she said.Two words and it was so clean and final.I sat there with the phone pressed to my ear.She told me everything. The judge had found in favour of the plaintiff on all major counts. Aldric Voros had been found to have engaged in deliberate and systematic intellectual property theft, fraudulent misrepresentation of creative authorship, and the wilful destruction of evidence. The sentence was life imprisonment, which was not a typical sentence in civil intellectual property cases but which the judge had tied to the additional criminal charges that had accumulated across the eleven designer accounts and the decades of documented conduct.And then the second part. The judge had ordered the full transfer

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

    HANNAH'S POV:Maya was already inside when we arrived, which nobody was surprised by. She had been there since before seven, clipboard in hand, headset in place, everything in order before a single guest walked through the door.The lobby looked exactly as I had imagined it. The flowers were right. The signage was right. The catering for the reception afterward was confirmed. And Kate had done something particular with the hospitality table that Maya had tried to adjust twice and then left alone because it was honestly better than what she had planned, which Maya had informed me of in advance so I would not be caught off guard."Go and be present," Maya said when I found her. "I have everything."She did. She always had everything.Jacob and Cherry came with their little daughter Mirada, who was four months old and already conducting a very thorough ongoing assessment of the world around her with the focused attention of someone who had somewhere to be and was not going to miss anyth

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   What We Built Together

    HANNAH'S POV:They didn't talk on their way back home.I was already in bed in the evening with Elijah reading beside me, when we heard the knock."Come in," I said.Andrew stood in the doorway in his planet pyjamas, they were slightly too short at the ankles now but he refused to stop wearing them because they were comfortable and Andrew had a very practical philosophy about clothing. He looked at me and then at Elijah and then back at me."I need to talk to Amelia," he said. "But I wanted to tell you first."I sat up properly. "What happened?"He came in and sat on the end of the bed and folded his hands in his lap and he looked at the duvet rather than at me."I was jealous," he said.Just like that. Clean and plain and with no attempt to soften it."Is about today," I said since I already knew."Yes. When they announced the results. I was proud of her and I was also jealous and I did not like feeling both things at the same time because they seemed like they should not be able to

    ELIJAH'S POV:I watched Hannah on the bench beside me, watching our children on the grass, and I thought about the morning I had stood in the kitchen with my hand on a bottle and the reason I had put it down was partly Jacob and partly the floor being solid under my feet and partly the fact that ju
