All Chapters of Winning Her Back : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ann woke before her alarm. For a few seconds, she lay still, staring at the ceiling of the small apartment. Her body felt heavy. Her back ached slightly, and the exhaustion she had been carrying seemed to settle deeper into her bones every morning.Pregnancy had made even ordinary tasks feel like challenges. Getting out of bed took effort. Climbing stairs left her breathless.Some afternoons, she wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep for hours. But then she would remember Kiel. And work. And everything waiting for her.Ann slowly pushed herself upright. She placed a hand over her stomach. “Good morning, little one.” There was no response, but she smiled anyway. “Mommy has a busy day.”From the other room came the sound of little footsteps. “Mommy!”Ann laughed. “And there goes my alarm.”Kiel appeared in the doorway, his hair standing in different directions. “I'm hungry.”“Of course you are.”“I want p

Olivia had been waiting. For days, she had watched from a distance. She had heard that Ann had moved out and now, Daniel was living alone. And to Olivia, it meant one thing. There was finally space for her.She stood in front of the mirror that evening, adjusting her hair before leaving the house. She studied her reflection carefully. Ann was gone. She could finally take her place. Olivia smiled faintly. “This is my chance.”She picked up her phone and sent Daniel a message: Can we talk? It's important.Daniel's reply came several minutes later.Daniel: About what?Olivia hesitated before typing.Olivia: Please. Just meet me.There was a long pause. Then his response appeared.Daniel: Fine.Olivia's heart raced. She quickly chose a quiet restaurant where they would have privacy.When Daniel arrived, she immediately noticed the difference in him. He looked tired. Not physically al

Olivia stared at the photograph on her phone. Ann was smiling in it. She looked happy. Too happy. Olivia's jaw tightened. That smile had become an insult to her. If Daniel was going to keep thinking about Ann, Olivia needed to change the story.She needed people to see Ann differently. Her eyes moved to another photograph. A picture of a man Ann had once worked with. The photograph had been taken months ago at a professional event. The man was standing beside Ann, and both of them were smiling.It was innocent. But Olivia didn't care. She opened an editing application.Within minutes, she had cropped the photograph and altered the framing until it looked as though Ann and the man had been photographed together privately.Then she added another picture. This one showed the man walking near a building. Olivia combined the images carefully. It wasn't perfect. But it didn't need to be. People rarely investigated rumors before believing them.

The moment Daniel saw Olivia’s name on the evidence, something inside him went cold. He stared at the screenshots again, reading every message carefully. There were conversations between Olivia and an unknown account. Instructions about what picture to use. Messages discussing how to make the rumor believable. Even a message telling someone to “make sure it reaches Ann’s workplace.”Daniel’s jaw tightened. He had spent the entire day angry at Ann. He had looked at that photograph and convinced himself she had already moved on. He had allowed his pride and hurt to fill in the blanks. He had accused her without asking for the truth.But now another possibility stood in front of him. What if Ann had never betrayed him? What if the entire thing had been created?Daniel grabbed his phone. He called the number attached to the anonymous message. It rang twice before going straight to voicemail. He tried again. Nothing. His eyes returned to the screenshots. There

Ann was folding Kiel’s clothes when there was a knock on the apartment door. She paused. Kiel was sitting on the floor nearby, arranging his toy cars into a crooked line across the rug. “Mommy, I think someone is here.” “I heard, sweetheart.” Ann walked toward the door slowly. She wasn't expecting anyone. Daniel had been calling more often lately, but she had made it clear that she needed space. Her workplace had finally begun settling after the rumors, and she didn't want anything else disturbing the fragile peace she had built. She looked through the peephole. Her heart sank. Daniel's mother stood outside. For several seconds, Ann simply stared. There had been a time when seeing her mother-in-law would have made her straighten immediately, wondering whether she had done something wrong. Those days were gone. Ann opened the door. “Good afternoon.”
