All Chapters of TO LOVE HIM AGAIN: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Sera’s POV“Shh, baby.” I rock my wailing son in my arms, my own tears threatening to fall from my eyes.His cry is piercing, and doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. He’s been crying all morning, and I don’t know why.“Sweetheart,” I murmur in his ears. “Tell mommy what’s wrong. Are you hurting?”Ezra’s response is a louder cry. Tears trickle down my own cheeks, and I swipe it angrily.“You’re okay, sweetheart. You’re okay.” I don’t know if I’m telling myself or I’m telling him.A knock on my door sounds, and I’m glad to see Owen walk through. He takes one look at both of us with tears falling from our eyes, and he laughs.“When you told me there was an emergency, I didn’t know it was two!” I roll my eyes and shove Ezra into Owen’s arms. He immediately stops crying, and my jaw drops.I sniffle. “He hates me, doesn’t he?”“Of course not, Sera,” Owen replies. “You’re both having a bad day.”“What does he know about bad days? He’s only four.”Owen grins. “I used to have bad days e

Sera’s POVI was twenty when I met Adrian in college, and it wasn’t love at first sight. At twenty four, I got the video, and the news that ruined us.~Flashback~“I’m sorry,” I say into the phone, eyes watering.

This time, I found red lip stains on his jersey, so I got upset. He didn’t like that.“I’m trying,” I sniffle.“I have never cheated on you, and I’d never. I love you, Sera. You know that.”I nod, swallowing the lump in my throat. “I love you, too. I’m sorry for accusing you of cheating like I always do.”“Are we good?”“Yea,” I croak, wiping my eyes. “How was the party?”I was too upset to meet him at the last party for the semester. We’re heading home today, and I’m regretting standing him up all because of red lip stains.He yawns, loudly. “It was alright, I didn't really have a lot of fun, you know

Sera’s POVI stand frozen, staring at the man I once loved — the man whose smile used to be my favorite thing in the world.For a moment, I think I mishear him.“File for custody?”No. He can’t be serious.But Adrian’s face is stone, unreadable, his green eyes calm in that infuriating way that makes me feel small.My stomach knots. I know if he goes through with it, he’ll win. He has money, status, power. And I’ll lose Ezra. I can’t let that happen.So I swallow the lump in my throat and whisper the words that taste like surrender.“Fine… we’ll stay.”His eyes widen slightly — surprise flickers, quickly masked by a smirk. “Really?”I nod, my gaze fixed somewhere around his shoes. “Yeah.”“Alright,” he says, clearing his throat. “There’s a guest room down the hall. You and my son can stay there.”My son.The words echo in my chest like a cruel bell.Ivy’s heels click against the marble floor as she steps out from the kitchen. The glare she shoots me is sharp enough to cut through glass
