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

    MARY'S POV:​That girl had an incredible nose for sweets. I watched her scramble right into the carriage, then dramatically slap both hands over her mouth. Her eyes went wide as saucers, her face showing pure delight.​Marl stepped up and pressed a hidden button on the side, and the display case built inside the carriage slid outward with a quiet click.​It had originally been packed with all kinds of handmade dolls, and a few were still tucked into the corners, but most had been left back at home to clear space for the treats. The cupcakes were set out in neat rows, every single one decorated with a different cartoon character. There were princesses and superheroes, little animals and funny aliens, all of them made with careful attention. The frosting was bright and colorful, and the piped designs were neat and clear.​I had clearly made far too many. The display case was practically overflowing, and extra cupcakes were spilling onto the small fold-out table I had set up beside it. I

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Greetings, Princess Elsa!

    MARY'S POV:​I wanted to pick my daughter up and hold her close, but she took a small step back, cleared her throat twice with total seriousness, and gave me a grand bow.​"Greetings, Princess Elsa!"​I was mortified.​My cheeks burned with heat, and I wanted nothing more than to sink right into the ground beneath my feet. The other parents were staring from every corner of the yard, their phones held high to record us, their whispers floating right across the schoolyard. I could feel their eyes on me, judging my outfit, cataloging every single detail of this ridiculous scene. A woman in a fancy coat was smirking behind her hand near the front gate. A man in a crisp suit was openly laughing with his friends. A group of older kids had stopped on their way out to watch, their faces lit with the kind of pure amusement that only came from seeing an adult make a complete fool of herself.​She immediately burst out laughing at my reaction.​The sound was bright and clear, the type of laught

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Beast's Ice Queen

    MARY'S POV:​The whole crazy idea had originally been my own creation, but he seemed infinitely more enthusiastic about executing it than I ever was. And he certainly made it a lot more dramatic. He had chosen a costume made of rich black leather, textured faux fur, and bold theatrical makeup, transforming his appearance into something wild and striking. The outfit fit his tall frame to absolute perfection, drawing attention to the broadness of his shoulders, the natural strength in his arms, and the sharp, handsome angles of his face.​As for me, I had been gently forced into a stunning gown made of shimmering ice blue and silver fabric, with my hair swept up high and a delicate crown of sparkling crystals perched securely on top. The material caught every stray ray of sunlight with every step I took, shining like frozen water. I felt like I had stepped straight out of a storybook and into a reality where I didn't quite belong.​Every single parent, teacher, and passing pedestrian wh

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Most Dramatic Arrival

    MARY'S POV:​Marl proved to be thoroughly unimpressed with the Fairy Godmother costume I had prepared for myself. He picked it up by the hanger, holding it near the window light while his brow furrowed in quiet doubt and his lips pressed into a thin, critical line. He turned the garment over in his hands, inspecting every single seam and stitch, before slowly shaking his head. The fabric was soft and pale, the colors muted and quiet, and the overall design simple and modest.​He clearly thought it was far too old-fashioned and that the colors lacked any real life. He insisted that I needed to wear something that would genuinely catch everyone's attention at the school event, something that would match the excitement my daughter deserved, rather than something so quiet. He wanted more sparkle, more drama, more flair.​I closed my eyes and imagined what I would actually look like walking around a school yard wearing one of those flashy creations. I wouldn't just be participating in a fu

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Caught in His Charm

    MARY'S POV:​Yet another voice inside my head immediately argued back that all of those thoughts were purely based on hearsay. When had I ever become the kind of person who judged someone based on neighborhood gossip instead of trusting her own eyes? The Marl I had actually experienced firsthand was kind, endlessly patient, and genuinely thoughtful. He had helped me out of difficult spots without ever demanding anything in return. He had been so sweet and gentle with my little girl when she needed it most. He had stood up for me when the rest of the world looked away.​Then the louder, more cautious voice cut right back in.​So what if the rumors weren't true? He was still a charming, wealthy bachelor with an impressive life, while I was simply an ordinary woman trapped in a messy divorce, raising a child alone without any powerful background or safety net. Even if we could trust each other, we barely knew one another. We lived in entirely different universes. He belonged to a world o

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

    Mary's POV: ​"If you talk to every woman like that, I can see how you've earned your reputation," I said, trying to sound completely composed while my voice stumbled over the syllables. ​The words came out breathless and uneven, nothing like the cool dismissal I had originally intended. My voice cracked slightly on the final word, and I felt a hot wave of blood rush straight to my cheeks. I wanted nothing more than to sink right through the ground, to disappear into thin air, or to pretend I hadn't just spoken with such embarrassing transparency. ​"Just you." He took a slow step back and flashed a gentle smile. ​It looked as though tiny stars had fallen right into his eyes. Otherwise, how could they possibly look so bright, so warm, and so deeply inviting that I felt an overwhelming pull to step closer? The soft corners of his eyes crinkled in amusement, his lips curved upward, and for a fleeting second, the entire room seemed to fade into a blur. There was only him, and me, and t
