All Chapters of Billionaire Alpha's Ex-wife and Her Hidden Cubs : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The reflection in the mirror showed Kelvin's sharp jawline, his broad shoulders, his calloused hands gripping the mirror's edge. Rosa's scream came out in his deep baritone voice. The woman holding the mirror smiled. She was ancient, she had black skin that could melt with the night, "You're in the in-between, dear child. The space where souls wait while their vessels are borrowed." Rosa stumbled backward, Kelvin's larger frame unsteady under her unfamiliar control. The room around her wasn't really a room at all. Shadows pressed in from every direction, occasionally flickering. Her mind immediately flew to her children "Where are my children?" Rosa asked, but her voice came out deep like nothing had happened. "What have you done to my babies?" The old woman set the mirror down on a table with a smile on her face. A dark smile. "Your children are precisely where you left them. Safe in their beds. For now." She circled Rosa slowly, her bare feet making a wet sound on the ston

Pierce's vision narrowed to a blurred view. His fingers clawed uselessly at Rosa's wrists, not the witch's, and that was the cruelty of it. The face he'd loved and who he was so sure loved him tightened her grip around him ready to kill him She's still in there. Rosa's still in there. He tried to convince himself. His lungs screamed for air. The world tilted sideways. "Daddy!" Elena's voice cut through the room as she ran down. Rosa's grip tightened. Pierce felt something crack in his throat. His legs gave out. "MOMMY, STOP!" Elena shouted, and tears rolled down her face. Her voice filled with terror. "Please! Please don't hurt Daddy! What's wrong with you? Why are you doing this?" For a fraction of a second, Rosa's fingers loosened. Just barely. Just enough for Pierce to drag in a wheezing breath. *She heard her. Elena got through. "Mommy, it's me! It's Elena!" The little girl was sobbing now, the pendant clutched in both hands. "Please come back! I need you! I need my mommy

Rosa's legs trembled as she stumbled through the empty streets, Elena clutched tight against her chest. Every step sent sharp pain through her body, the wound in her chest burning like fire, but she couldn't stop. Wouldn't stop. "Mommy, you're bleeding," Elena whispered, her small hands pressed against Rosa's shoulder. "I know, baby. I know." Rosa's voice cracked. "Just hold on to me, okay? Don't let go." "I won't. I promise." The streets blurred around them. Rosa's heart raced “ Pierce. I have to get to Pierce. Please, God, let him be alive. Please.” Her slippers had fallen off somewhere behind them, and the cold ground bit into her bare feet. She didn't care. All that mattered was getting home, getting Elena to safety, getting to her husband. “What have I done? What did Kelvin make me do?” She wondered her heart raced with so many possibilities and memories. The memories were fractured, like looking through shattered glass. Pierce's face, twisted in pain. Her own hands s

The kitchen was a disaster. Broken dishes littered the floor, cabinet doors hung, and the dining table had a crack running down its center. But Pierce ignored it all as he carefully cleaned Rosa's wound at the sink, his hands steady despite the trembling in his breath."This needs stitches," he said quietly, examining the cut across her stomach. "Or at least butterfly bandages. When you stabbed yourself—" His voice broke."I know." Rosa placed her hand over his, trying to steady his shaking hands. "But I'm here. I'm alive.""You could have died. When I saw that knife in your hand, when I saw you drive it into yourself, I thought—" He stopped, closing his eyes. "I thought I was going to watch you die right in front of me.""Look at me, Pierce."He opened his eyes slowly, and she saw the tears he'd been holding back since the moment she'd collapsed in his arms."I'm right here," she whispered. "I came back to you. I'll always come back to you."He pressed his forehead against hers, his

Tears rolled down Rosa's face. "I love you too. God, Pierce, I love you so much it terrifies me sometimes. When Kelvin had control of me, when I could feel him using my body to hurt you, the only thing that kept me sane was love. Love for you, for our children, for the life we've built. That's what gave me the strength to fight." "I know I don't say it enough. I get caught up in work, in protecting you, in being strong for the family. But Rosa, you need to know—you're my everything. You, Marcus, and Elena. You three are the reason I breathe." She kissed him then, pouring everything she felt into it. All the love, the relief, the gratitude for being alive, for being together, for surviving the night. Pierce held her like she was precious, irreplaceable, kissing her back with a tenderness that made her soul ache. When they finally pulled apart, both were breathing hard. "Promise me something," Pierce said quietly. "Anything." "Promise me that no matter what happens, no ma
