LUCAS'S POV:

I found out because of Andrew.

Which was, honestly, one of the more humbling ways a grown man could find out that his fiance had been keeping a secret from him. I had been at Hannah and Elijah's house for dinner. It was one of those comfortable evenings that had become a regular thing over the past year. Hannah was in the kitchen with Elijah. Andrew was doing homework at the table. Amelia was conducting some kind of investigation into whether the cat next door could be trained to c

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Phone Call (2)

    MARY'S POV: Alistair stared at me for a long moment. Then, slowly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. I watched his expression shift as he glanced at the screen. Something flickered across his face, surprise, maybe. Or concern. He hesitated, his finger hovering over the answer button. Then he answered. "Hello?" I couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the line, but I could see the effect it had on him. His shoulders tensed. His jaw tightened. He turned slightly away from me, his voice dropping low. "Slow down. Tell me what happened." A pause. The voice on the other end kept speaking, urgent and insistent. "I understand," Alistair said. "I'll be there right away." Another pause. The voice spoke again, and Alistair's eyes flickered toward me. Something passed across his face, hesitation, calculation, the quick weighing of options. "Okay, I will bring her," he said. The words landed in my chest like a stone. I didn't wait to hear more. I pus

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

    MARY'S POV:The words hung in the air between us, sharp and final, like a blade that had been drawn and would not be sheathed."But not yours."I watched Alistair's face change. The hope that had flickered there moments before drained away, replaced by something colder and something harder. His hands, which had been gripping my arms, loosened slightly. His jaw tightened."Not mine?" he repeated. His voice was low, controlled, the voice of someone who was trying very hard to stay calm. "Then who do you want to have a child with? I'm your fucking husband!"I looked back at him. The man who had promised to love and cherish me. The man who had broken every vow he had ever made. The man who stood here now, demanding answers, as if he had any right to ask questions."Then who is your wife?" I asked.The question landed like a stone in still water.Alistair opened his mouth to respond. His lips parted, the words forming on his tongue. But before he could speak, his phone rang.The sound cut

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   A Child Is Not a Chain

    MARY'S POV:Not I'll do everything in my power to make sure you never get hurt again or repeat my foolishness again.Only that she should have stayed with him.Only that it was her fault for leaving.In that instant, I finally understood.To me, a child was the living proof of love. The most precious member of my family. A person I would protect with my life.To Alistair, a child was something else entirely.A child was a chain. A tool. Something he believed could keep me under his control. Something that would trap me in a marriage I no longer wanted.My heart ached for my daughter. The man she called Father had never learned what it truly meant to be one."I'm done," I said."Mary—""Done. With you. With this marriage. With everything.""You don't mean that.""I do mean it. I should have said it a long time ago."I walked toward the door, still wrapped in the towel, my body shaking. He grabbed my arm, his fingers digging into my skin, hard enough to hurt."You're not leaving," he sa

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

    MARY'S POV:But my heart didn't remember.My heart was somewhere else and in a place he couldn't reach.I tried to push him away again, my hands against his chest, but he didn't move. He was too strong, too determined and too convinced that this would fix everything."Please," I whispered. "Please stop. You're hurting me.""I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm trying to help you.""Alistair—""Just relax and trust me. You used to trust me."I closed my eyes.I thought about Elowen. About the way she had asked if Marl could be her father. About the way she had said she didn't want to see me sad anymore. I thought about the life I wanted for her, a life where she didn't have to ask permission to be loved. A life where she didn't have to watch her mother break apart piece by piece.Then I felt his hands freeze and his body went still against mine. His breathing stopped, just for a moment, the air catching in his throat which prompted me to opened my eyes.He was staring down at my body. At th

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Heart That Wouldn't Remember

    MARY'S POV: "Don't." I held up my hand, stopping him. "Don't pretend like this is about love. If you loved me, you wouldn't have done any of the things you did." He was quiet for a long moment. Then, slowly, he shook his head. "I know I've made mistakes," he said. "I know I've hurt you. But that doesn't change the way I feel about you. That doesn't change the fact that you're the mother of my child. That you're my wife.” I opened my mouth to respond, to tell him that words meant nothing, that promises meant nothing, that he had said all of this before and broken every single one. But before I could speak, he moved. His hand came up to my face, cupping my cheek, his thumb tracing the line of my jaw. The touch was gentle, familiar, the same way he had touched me a thousand times before. My skin remembered it. My body remembered it. I hated that. "You want this too," he murmured, leaning closer. His breath was warm against my skin. "Don't you? Our daughter is so adorable. Haven't

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Man Who Broke Me

    MARY'S POV:I couldn't understand why Alistair was acting like this.After disappearing with Vesper for so long, after missing our daughter's birthday, after leaving me in a jail cell overnight, after throwing parties for another woman and plastering his face across the internet with her at his side, he had suddenly returned as if nothing had ever happened.As if he hadn't broken every promise he had ever made.As if I hadn't spent weeks crying myself to sleep.As if our marriage wasn't already dead and buried.He stood there in the bathroom doorway, fully dressed in his tailored suit, his hair perfectly styled, his shoes polished to a mirror shine. Every inch of him screamed wealth, power, control. He looked like he had just walked out of a board meeting and we not like a man who had been trying to destroy his wife's life.And I was completely naked.The contrast filled me with humiliation. I had been about to step into the shower, my body still damp from the steam, my hair loose aro

    Something in his desperate expression softened her. "Hold on," she murmured gently, stepping away briefly.She returned a moment later pushing a wheelchair. "I'll take you to her. But you have to promise me you'll only stay a few minutes. You need rest too.""Thank you," Elijah breathed, sinking gr
