NADIA’S POV“Sign here, here, and initial here.”Colin’s voice was as cold as the glass table between us, like he was closing a business deal rather than ending our marriage. I watched his manicured finger tap each yellow tab marking where my signature would dissolve three years of my life into nothing.I should have felt something. Rage, maybe. Devastation. The kind of emotion that matched the moment. Instead, I felt hollow, like someone had scooped everything out of me and left only the outline of who I used to be.“Nadia? Did you hear me?”I blinked, focusing on his face. Colin looked impeccable as always, his suit perfectly tailored, his posture straight, his expression untouched. His jaw was tight with impatience, and he glanced at his watch like this was taking longer than expected.“I heard you.”My voice came out steadier than I felt.I picked up the pen he had placed in the center of the folder. It was heavy, expensive, the kind of thing that existed just to remind you of the

NADIA’S POVI shouldn’t have stayed.The moment I saw him standing there, I should have walked out and kept going. Instead, I stood in the rain with him like nothing had changed, like three years of silence could be explained in a few words.“You don’t remember anything?” I asked.Colin shook his head once. “No. Just what I’ve been told.”I let out a breath that didn’t feel steady. “Then there’s nothing to explain.”“That’s not true.”“It is.” I folded my arms, more to hold myself in place than anything else. “You already made your decisions. This doesn’t change that.”“I didn’t know—”“You didn’t ask.” My voice cut through his before he could finish. “You never asked anything, Colin. That’s the point.”He went quiet.Good, because I didn’t trust myself to keep talking if he didn’t.Rain soaked through my sleeves, my hair, everything, but I didn’t move. It was easier to stand there than to deal with what came after.“I saw footage,” he said after a moment.I frowned slightly. “What?”

NADIA’S POVI froze the moment I turned and saw him standing there.For a second, nothing moved, not me, not him, not even the air between us, like everything had paused just long enough for it to settle in properly. Colin stood at the door, looking at us, but not really at me, his focus locked somewhere else.On him.My chest tightened instantly. My hand moved without thinking, pulling him closer to me, my body shifting just enough to place myself between them. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t controlled, it just happened, instinct taking over before I could think it through.“What are you doing here?”My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t soften it.He didn’t answer right away. His gaze didn’t move, like he was still trying to understand what he was seeing, like none of this fit into whatever version of reality he had been holding onto.I stepped forward slightly, enough to block his view properly this time.“You shouldn’t be here.”That got his attention.His eyes lif

NADIA’S POVEverything inside me locks the second I hear it.For a second, I just stare at Noah, my mind going blank, like if I don’t react fast enough, it won’t be real. My chest tightens painfully, breath catching halfway, and all I can think is no… not this… not now.“No,” I say too quickly, my voice sharper than I mean it to be. “No, don’t say that.”His little face shifts immediately, confusion replacing whatever ease he had before. “Mommy…?”Damn it.Guilt hits just as fast as the panic. I soften, brushing my hand over his sleeve. “Hey… it’s okay. I didn’t mean it like that. Just—don’t say that word, okay?”He doesn’t understand. Of course he doesn’t. He’s just a kid. He said what felt natural.That’s what scares me, and I don’t even need to turn to know Colin is right behind me.I feel it, the weight of his attention, heavy and fixed on Noah. It presses against my back, making my skin feel too tight, like I can’t breathe properly.I don’t want to turn around because I already kn

COLIN’S POVSomething is off the second I look at her.Not small, not something I can ignore, just wrong in a way that settles under my skin and refuses to move, like whatever just happened didn’t end with that call.Damn.“What was that?” I ask, my voice lower now, careful, but there’s pressure under it because the way she’s standing, the way she’s holding that phone, none of it feels normal.She shakes her head too fast, fingers tightening slightly. “It’s nothing. Just… a wrong call.”Yeah, no.I exhale slowly, dragging a hand through my hair, trying to stay patient even though something in me is already pushing forward. “You don’t have to lie to me like that,” I say, quieter now, watching her closely, “not when it’s this obvious something’s wrong.”She doesn’t look at me, and that tells me more than anything she could say.“You should go,” she says instead, her voice tighter now, like she’s forcing control back into place. “Please, Colin. Just leave before this turns into something
