HANNAH'S POV:

"But I am still standing," I said. "And your grandmother Mirada stood up for what was right even when she was frightened and even when she did not have the strength or the time left to fight it herself. She kept the evidence and gave it to someone she trusted and believed it would matter one day." I looked at Amelia and then at Andrew. "We are what happens when she believes that. Both of you, this family, the collection. All of it. We are the thing she trusted the future to deliv

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

    MARY'S POV:​The single word hung suspended in the chilled air of the hospital room like an explosive device waiting for the fuse to burn down.​"Congratulations!"​The young nurse’s smile was wide, open, and completely genuine. She was utterly oblivious to the absolute disaster of a situation she had just walked into. She held out a white plastic clipboard, the sheets of paper clipped to it rustling softly in the quiet room. Her eyes were bright with the kind of innocent excitement that usually came with delivering good news to waiting families. Her light blue uniform was neatly pressed, and her plastic hospital badge glittered under the overhead fluorescent lights. She looked as though she had just come straight from a different floor, a happy place where the news of a new life was met with joyful tears, warm hugs, and celebratory phone calls.​She had no idea that she had just stepped directly into a total war zone.​Beatrice stood completely still, staring at the nurse in absolute

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

    MARY'S POV:Alistair squeezed his eyes shut and pulled his eyebrows together in frustration. His face was pale, and he looked completely exhausted and confused by how fast the night had turned on him. He kept his fists balled up at his sides, his knuckles totally white."Mom, how can you possibly say something so cruel right now?" he asked, his voice strained and angry. "Vesper has millions of fans who care about her. If everyone is suddenly turning their backs on her tonight, there has to be a real reason for it. This is not the time for you to be kicking her while she is down."Beatrice turned her head and stared at her son like he was a total stranger.Her eyes went wide, her mouth set in a hard line, and her body went rigid. I saw the absolute shock on her face as she realized just how far gone her own son really was."Have you completely lost your mind?" she asked, her voice dropping into a hard, dangerous tone. "You are going to regret every single word that just came out of you

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

    MARY'S POV:A sudden, loud noise boomed out from the main hallway.The heavy sound of security personnel hitting their plastic shields against the wall echoed down the corridor, drowning out my voice. The hospital security team had finally arrived at the fourth floor, their heavy boots stepping firmly on the floor tiles as they barked out loud orders. Within two minutes, the guards began grabbing people by their arms and clearing the room. The blue-haired teenager was pulled backward out the door while still yelling at his phone screen, and the rest of the crowd was pushed out right behind him, their camera lights flickering until the door was cleared.In the rush to empty the space, several glass flower vases and paper food containers sitting on the side tables were knocked onto the floor. Water splashed across the clean tiles, mixing with crushed flower petals and broken glass. A big bundle of red roses sat ruined under a heavy boot print near the wall, and an open lunch box had spi

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

    MARY'S POV:Even with that one phone smashed on the floor, at least five other people were standing near the door streaming the whole thing live. The bright screens kept flashing, the comment sections kept scrolling, and the video of the fight was already saved online forever. The blue-haired teenager did not even care about his broken phone; he simply reached into his back pocket, pulled out a second device, and pointed it right back at the bed with a huge, victorious grin on his face.The room devolved into pure noise and chaos.People began pushing and shoving against one another near the threshold, their voices rising into an overwhelming wall of sound. The young streamer kept trying to push his way closer to the bed, extending his arm like he was holding a weapon. Alistair threw his shoulder forward to block the doorway, using his body to shield Vesper from the lenses. Behind them, Beatrice was yelling at the top of her voice, though her words were lost in the noise. A helpless n

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Caught on Camera

    MARY'S POV:The sharp, accusing words lingered heavily in the cold air of the room, leaving a deep and uncomfortable silence in their wake."Wait, is that Vesper? So she never actually got married? She just became someone's mistress and brought his wife right along to the hospital?"The loud question seemed to bounce off the thin walls of the private hospital room, settling over all of us like a heavy blanket. I stood back and watched the immediate reaction spread across every single face in the space. The young man who had blurted it out was practically buzzing with excitement. He had his mobile phone held up high in his right hand, his eyes locked onto Vesper as if he had just stumbled upon a massive pot of gold. Outside in the hallway, the small crowd of onlookers pressed themselves even closer to the open doorway, their personal shame completely forgotten in their rush to see a real scandal unfold.I watched Vesper's face transform in real time.For one short second, her carefully

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Mistress on Display

    MARY'S POV:​I could see it in the tight set of her jaw and the cold look in her eyes. She saw through every bit of Vesper's little routine, and she was not going to let her spin the story. Beatrice had been around long enough to know when someone was putting on an act, and she was far too smart to be fooled by a woman like Vesper.​As I stood there taking in the whole room, I noticed something else.​The door to the room had been left cracked open. The hospital walls were thin, and everyone inside had been raising their voices.​I could hear soft whispers coming from the hallway outside, the sound of shoes scuffling against the clean floor, and the faint rustle of clothing. People were gathering right outside the door, drawn in by the loud fighting, waiting to get a good look at the drama unfolding in Room 412. I could see dark shadows moving along the strip of light under the door, showing that a small crowd was standing out there.​They wanted to see the fight. They wanted to see r
