All Chapters of Love me again, Dear Ex wife!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kayla’s POVThe apartment was a battlefield.Liam and Ethan crashed against the wall, fists pounding, blood streaking the cracked mask and Liam’s jaw. Damien still held Lyra pinned to the floor, her shrieks echoing through the room, her nails clawing against his arm like a wild animal. And I stood frozen, my heart hammering so violently it drowned every other sound.I should have run. I should have found the strength to move. But my legs were rooted to the ground, my hands pressed tight over my stomach. Fear caged me, pressing me tighter with every second.Ethan shoved Liam hard, sending him staggering back against the shattered coffee table. The mask split further along the cheek, a glimpse of pale skin flashing beneath. I leaned forward, my breath caught in my throat. One more strike, and I would know.But Ethan moved too fast. He ducked Liam’s next punch, twisted, and slammed him against the wall with brutal force. Liam’s grunt rattled my bones, his body sagging before he shoved ba

Kayla’s POVI couldn’t breathe. The apartment felt like a cage, each wall closing in tighter, trapping me between two men who claimed to want to protect me and the monster outside who promised to take me. My tears blurred everything, but the fear was sharp, slicing me from the inside out.Damien’s hand lingered on my arm, steady, grounding. “Kayla, look at me. We need to move, now. Every second we stay here, we’re giving him more power.”But Liam’s voice rose, desperate, raw. “No. She’s coming with me. This ends tonight.”I shook my head violently, pressing both palms against my stomach as though I could shield the fragile heartbeat inside. “Stop. Please stop.” My voice cracked, ragged and broken. “I can’t keep being torn apart between the two of you. I’m not a trophy to be claimed. I’m just… I’m just trying to survive.”My words cut through the tension. For a moment, they both went still.Liam’s chest heaved, his blue eyes locked on me with something fierce, something almost unrecogn

Kayla’s POV“I know who he is.”The words slipped from me before I could stop them. My voice shook, my chest heaving, my whole body trembling with the weight of what I had just admitted.Damien’s eyes widened, his hand tightening on my arm. “Kayla… tell us. Who is he?”Liam stepped closer, his voice raw, demanding. “Say it.”But I couldn’t. My throat closed, the truth clawing inside me like a beast desperate to be freed. My lips trembled, but no sound came. If I said it, if I spoke the name, then it wouldn’t just be a fear anymore. It would be real.Tears spilled down my cheeks. I shook my head violently, pressing my palms against my ears. “I can’t. Please don’t make me.”“Kayla.” Liam’s tone softened, but the desperation in it made my heart twist. His hand reached toward me, stopping just short of my shoulder. “If you know who he is, you have to tell us. That’s the only way we can stop him.”I stared at him through blurred vision, my chest aching. “And what if it destroys me? What if

Kayla’s POVThe nurse’s warning echoed in the silence, heavy and poisonous. Don’t trust anyone.Her body went still again, unconscious, and the words hung between us like smoke, curling, suffocating, impossible to ignore.I clutched my stomach, rocking slightly where I sat against the wall. My heartbeat thundered in my ears. If I couldn’t trust anyone, then who was left? Damien? Liam? Both of them had claimed to protect me, but both carried shadows in their eyes that frightened me just as much as the voice in the dark.Damien crouched beside the nurse, checking her pulse with steady fingers. Relief flickered across his face when he found it. “She’s holding on. We need to get her to a hospital.”“No,” Liam snapped, his voice sharp as a blade. His eyes locked on Damien, then me. “The second we step outside, he’ll follow us. He’ll strike again. Kayla stays here, where I can control who comes near her.”Control. The word sliced through me. He hadn’t even realized what he’d said. He didn’t

Kayla’s POVI couldn’t move.The room spun, and my breath came in short, broken gasps as the man standing before me smiled—a smile I had seen before. Warm once. Now cruel.My lips trembled. “No…” The word came out a whisper, barely a breath. “You can’t be…”He took a step closer. The broken mask dangled from his fingers like a trophy. His face was calm, disturbingly calm, like this moment had been rehearsed a thousand times in his mind.“Kayla,” he said softly, his tone laced with mock affection. “I told you it would come to this.”My stomach clenched. My knees buckled, but I forced myself to stay upright, one hand pressed protectively over my belly.“Ethan…” The name tore itself from my throat before I could stop it.Damien froze mid-step. Liam’s head snapped toward me, confusion twisting into disbelief.Ethan’s smirk deepened. “Finally,” he murmured. “You remember.”Liam moved first, his voice sharp with fury. “Who the hell are you?”Ethan’s eyes flicked to him, bored, dismissive. “
