ALISTAIR'S POV:

​Without giving me any warning, she suddenly threw her arms right around my shoulders, pressing her body against mine as her soft lips brushed right against my ear. I had to tilt my head way back just to see the road in front of us. My view of the dark street was almost completely blocked by her head, but it did not seem to matter much because we were already turning into the long driveway. The familiar tall black gates were sitting just up ahead and open, and the bright porch

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Alistair's Darkest Secret

    ALISTAIR'S POV:​Vesper was fine out in the hallway. Whatever cheap little mind game Marl was trying to play on me didn't matter in the long run. I could easily sort that out later when we got home. But Mary, Mary was the wife who had publicly humiliated me. Mary was the woman who had let another man put his hands on her and kiss her right in front of my face. Mary was the person who had torn our entire marriage down to the ground.​I turned back around to face him, my jaw clenched so hard my teeth hurt.​"What right do you think you have to even say her name?" I spat out, taking a heavy step back into the room. "She is my wife! She belongs to me! You need to stay the hell away from her, or I swear to God..."​"Or what?" Marl cut me off, his voice flat, steady, and borderline bored. "You're the one who specifically asked me to keep an eye on Mary in the first place. Whether you like the reality of it or not, I did exactly what you asked me to do. And deep down, we both know that no ma

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The One Who Calls the Shots

    ALISTAIR'S POV:​"Baby, please, just calm down for a second and listen to what he has to say, okay?" Vesper begged, grabbing onto my forearm with both hands. She was squeezing my arm so hard that I could feel her long nails digging straight into my skin, leaving tiny crescents of sharp pain behind.​Why was she so terribly scared? Why would a simple argument make her panic like this? Did being pregnant really turn a woman into such a nervous wreck? I had heard people say before that women became far more fragile and sensitive when they were expecting a baby, much more prone to sudden tears, random worries, and irrational fears. Maybe that was all this was. Maybe her body was just completely overwhelmed by the whole situation. Or maybe there was something else going on under the surface, something important she was keeping to herself and refusing to tell me.​"Stop arguing in front of me and just go outside," Marl said, waving his hand toward the hallway like he was shooing away a both

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

    ALISTAIR'S POV:​I thought he was so ridiculous that it was almost laughable.​Who in the world did he think he was talking to? Did he really think he could pull off something even I couldn't accomplish with all my money and connections? Did he honestly believe he had the power to stand there offering me grand deals, making wild demands, and looking at me with that smug expression like he held every single winning card in his hands? He was just a lawyer. A small-time, average lawyer who had only gotten to where he was today because of me. Because of my personal network, my constant generosity, and my willingness to keep throwing him a bone whenever he needed work.​"What on earth makes you think you have any right to bet against me?" I asked him, my voice dropping into a low, dangerous growl.​Vesper's hand rested flat against my chest, and I could feel her entire body trembling violently beside me. Her fingers felt like ice against my skin through my shirt, and her breathing was shal

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

    ALISTAIR'S POV: ​"Why are you getting so angry?" he asked, his tone light and full of easy amusement. "I thought you couldn't wait to OPEN up your life." ​The words hit me like a physical slap across the mouth. ​"Not her!" I shouted, my voice rising to a roar. The loud sound echoed off the high walls, raw, harsh, and desperate. Then the sickening realization crashed over me like a cold wave. "Wait a second. Did you suggest an open marriage to me because you had already thought about doing this with her? The very moment you got the chance, you went right after her. You're that desperate—" ​"Don't insult her." His tone suddenly turned dead serious. All the casual amusement instantly drained from his face, replaced by something dark, icy, and sharp as steel. His eyes narrowed into slits, his jaw tightened, and for the very first time since I'd known him, I saw something genuinely dangerous lurking in his expression. "I won't say it twice." ​I should have rejected his warning wit

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   It Couldn't Be Mary

    MARY'S POV:​"You collapsed right here on the living room floor, calling out, 'Wait, don't go.' Who made you so upset?" Vesper wraps both of her arms around mine, her warm body pressing tight against my side. Her warmth is familiar, but it doesn't comfort me the way it used to. There's something hollow about it now, something shallow that doesn't quite reach my heart anymore.​"Nothing. It was just a weird dream. I dreamed about you."​The lie rolls around in my mouth before I swallow it down. The person in my dream must have been Vesper. I lost her years ago when she left, so that has to be why I'm so afraid of her leaving me again. It has to be her. There's no other logical explanation. The alternative, that the woman in my dream was actually Mary, is completely unthinkable.​"I'm always right here, baby. I'm here for you," Vesper whispers softly, burying her face against my chest. It's only then that I realize she had been lying directly on top of me while I was passed out cold on

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Woman in My Dream

    ALISTAIR'S POV: ​"I have a big surprise for you." ​My wife is speaking to me. ​Her voice sounds so cheerful that I can't help feeling excited, too. The warmth in her tone wraps around me like a heavy blanket, familiar, comforting, and full of life. I can picture the exact smile in her eyes as she says those words, the way her lips curve upward, the way her whole face lights up whenever she is genuinely happy. It's the soft, luminous smile she used to give me when we were first married, back when everything was still new and bright and full of promise. Back before the silence took over our house. ​I want so badly to look into her eyes, but why is her face so blurry? ​I strain to see her clearly, trying to focus on her features through the haze, but they slip away from me like water running through my fingers. The soft curve of her cheek, the gentle light in her eyes, the familiar shape of her smile, all of it stays just out of reach, hazy, indistinct, and fading. I can hear her vo
