All Chapters of Please Don’t Go, My Ex: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Chapter One – Happy BirthdayI held the small chocolate cake in my hands, trying not to let them shake. I had saved little by little from my salary just to buy it. It wasn’t much, but I told myself it would be enough. After all, it’s not about how big the gift is, but the heart behind it.I had even managed to buy him a shirt last month. It was still hidden inside a small bag near the sofa, wrapped in plain paper. I imagined the smile on his face when he saw it, when he realized I still thought of him, still loved him, despite everything.I wanted tonight to be different. Maybe, just maybe, he would look at me the way he used to.I lit the two candles and waited by the door. When I heard the lock turn, my heart jumped. Quickly, I switched off the lights.

Chapter Five – Her DecisionElena’s POVI sat in the hospital room for a long time after hearing the news, the word pregnant repeating itself in my mind in a way that refused to fade no matter how many times I tried to silence it.At first, I could not believe it, and my hands moved slowly, almost cautiously, toward my stomach as though I might somehow confirm it was not real, yet even though nothing felt different on the outside, I knew something had already taken root inside me, something small, something alive, something that belonged to me and to Daniel.My child.A faint, uncertain smile touched my lips, not because anything in my life had suddenly become better, but because for the first time in a long while I did not feel completely alone in the world, as though something had quietly chosen to stay with me even when everything else had been taken away, but that feeling did not last.His voice returned without warning, cold and distant, cutting through that fragile warmth as tho
