ELIJAH'S POV:

I told her that evening after the twins were in bed.

I had come upstairs earlier than usual to do the bedtime handoff. Andrew was reading, which was no surprise, he was always reading, but tonight the book was one about the human immune system which he had found somewhere in the house and had been working through with a dedication that suggested he had decided this week was medicine week. He explained three separate things about white blood cells to me while I was sitting on the

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Mother's Choice

    MARY'S POV:​"Precisely." Marl offered me a sharp, extremely satisfied smile. "You just have to remain patient through the whole process. Let him do all the talking. Let him explain his foolish thoughts. Let him dig himself deeper and deeper into his own pit. And by the time he is completely done boasting, you will hold every single piece of evidence you could ever need to crush him."​Standing there, I thought deeply about my little girl Elowen. I pictured her soft face, her hopeful eyes, and the way she had promised me earlier that she would be brave for her mommy. I had to actively fight off the strong urge to pick up my phone and call her line again. I had already called her twice tonight, and every single time I heard her small voice through the speaker, my heart had ached with deep pain.​My daughter was far too sensible for a child her age. She did not cry loudly into the phone or ask me complicated questions about why I was not home. She simply kept repeating in her quiet voic

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

    MARY'S POV:​I stood in the warm light of the kitchen and saw Marl give his phone a completely speechless look.​His facial expression was settled somewhere right between amused laughter and total disbelief, his dark eyebrows raised high up on his forehead, his lips pressed tightly together in a thin, straight line. He just stared down at his phone screen as if the device had somehow told him something completely absurd, something so crazy that he could not even process it properly in his head. The soft green glow of the lit screen cast subtle shadows across his sharp features, making him look almost mischievous in the room.​I looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What happened over there? Was that your client speaking?"​Marl slowly looked up at me, a strange, sharp glint dancing in his eyes. "That was my most difficult client of all, Alistair. It seems he has somehow managed to come up with another terrible idea, and I am genuinely afraid that I might have just accide

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

    MARL'S POV:​Mary patted my back, and I cleared my throat, stepping back.​"You're not treating me like your daughter, are you?" I asked, my voice light and teasing.​Mary lightly smacked my back before letting go. "Don't be ridiculous. My daughter is much better behaved than you."​I laughed, the sound was so genuine. "I'm offended."​"You'll survive."​We stood there for a moment, the tension between us shifting into something lighter, easier. I could feel the warmth of her presence still lingering and her embrace still imprinted on my skin. I wanted to stay in that moment, to freeze it and hold onto it forever.​But I couldn't.​I had work to do. Alistair was still on the phone.When I returned to the living room, Alistair was surprisingly still on the other end of the line.​I had left my phone sitting on the table with the call active, leaving him talking to empty air, but he had apparently spent the last ten minutes rambling to himself in frustration. His voice drifted faintly t

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Dangerous Connection

    MARL'S POV:​At the same time, I thought, I can't believe there would ever be a day when I'd worry about being rude. I can't let my family know. They bet I'd have a day like this, and if they find out, I'll lose.​I could already imagine their faces, the smug satisfaction, the knowing glances, the endless teasing. My siblings had always said I would eventually find someone who made me soft. I had always denied it, laughed it off, insisted that I was immune to such things. But here I was, standing in my own kitchen, worrying about being rude to a woman I barely knew.​Just as I was about to explain, Mary noticed my hesitation. She reached out and touched my arm, her fingers light and reassuring. The touch was brief, barely more than a brush, but it was enough.​"Everyone has their secrets," she said gently. "You don't have to tell me anything you're not ready to share."​I felt warmed by her thoughtfulness. It was a small gesture, but it made everything easier. She wasn't pressing, was

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Taste From the Past

    MARL'S POV: ​I grabbed Mary's hand without thinking. ​The cupcake was still half-eaten in my other hand, the taste of vanilla and sugar lingering on my tongue. But my mind was elsewhere, spinning, searching for connections that had been buried for over a decade. The flavor had unlocked something in me, something I had kept locked away for years, something I had been afraid to touch. I stood frozen in the small kitchen space, the quiet noise of the refrigerator filling the heavy silence between us. The air in the room suddenly felt thick, almost difficult to breathe. ​"Did your mother teach you how to make this cake?" I asked. ​The words came out rougher than I intended. I could hear the urgency in my own voice, the barely contained desperation. I was so agitated that I didn't realize how tightly I was holding her wrist until I saw her wince. My fingers were wrapped around her like a vice, the bones of her wrist pressing against my palm. ​Mary replied in surprise, her eyes widenin

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Woman I've Been Searching For

    MARL'S POV:​I slowly raised one dark eyebrow at her question. "Of course I live alone. Are you holding onto some silly old stereotype that grown men are not capable of enjoying cooking in their free time?"​She let out a soft, genuine laugh that sounded light and musical. "No, of course not. I was just—"​"Though to be completely honest with you," I continued, offering her a subtle smile, "I certainly would not complain about getting the chance to eat a delicious meal prepared by someone else for a change. It seems like I am a very lucky man tonight."​"Oh, you should not get your hopes up too high," she clarified, her soft face turning gentle while her eyes took on a distant, loving look. "I am actually baking these sweet treats specifically for my daughter. Whenever I am forced to stay away from her side, I always try my best to bake her something special as a little gift to bring her comfort."​I placed my right hand flat against my chest, pulling a dramatically hurt expression on
