All Chapters of My Ex-husband Knelt Too Late : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ethan's Pov The moment Olivia stepped out of the bedroom in that breathtaking, flowery sundress, my entire world narrowed down to a single point.She looked radiant. After all these years, the sharp edge of her beauty hadn't dulled—if anything, it had only deepened, hitting me with a visceral ache. The way the fabric hugged her waist, the soft scent of her perfume drifting across the room, the faint blush that crept up her neck when Vincent innocently pointed out that she looked pretty for "Daddy"—it was intoxicating.When she fired back, claiming her appearance had absolutely nothing to do with me, I couldn't help the smirk that tugged at my lips. *Keep telling yourself that, Olivia,* I thought.Getting into the car was an exercise in pure, agonizing restraint. As I slid behind the steering wheel, my eyes kept instinctively darting to the rearview mirror. The soft curve of her pink lips, the smooth line of her throat, the way her presence filled the cabin—every fiber of my being scr

Olivia's Pov The sharp, stabbing cramps in my lower abdomen intensified with every passing second, curling me inward.Ethan kept his eyes glued to the road, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel while reaching back to rub my knee with comforting, steady pressure. "I'm sorry, Olivia. Just hold on a little longer. Let me get you home.""Can you... can you get my medicine?" I gasped through clenched teeth, my breath coming in shallow, ragged gasps. "What is the name of your—""I don't remember the exact brand name," I groaned, shutting my eyes tightly against a fresh wave of pain. "But... but I have some left at home. Just take me home.""Are you sure?" he asked, his voice tight with worry in the rearview mirror. "We can stop at a pharmacy right now—""No, I'm sure! I have more at home!" I snapped softly, fighting the agony.Suddenly, a small, choked sob broke the air beside me. I turned my head to see Vincent wiping frantic tears from his cheeks. "Mommy, I'm sorry

 Olivia's Pov  The sharp, metallic tang of tears burned in the back of my throat as I stared at the lead police officer, the cramping in my lower abdomen acting as a dull, punishing throb that mirrored the fracture in my chest."Ma'am... is this the man?" the officer asked, pointing directly at Ethan.For a terrifying second, my voice completely failed me. The weight of what I had just done pressed down on my shoulders with crushing gravity. I had called the police on him. I had reported him for kidnapping my son.I swallowed hard, forcing a tight, miserable nod. "Yes... that's him."Ethan stopped dead in his tracks a few feet away, his broad frame freezing completely. The look of utter shock and raw, unadulterated betrayal that flashed across his face felt like a physical blow to my lungs."Kidnapped him?" Ethan repeated, his voice dropping into a dangerous, chilling whisper that made the surrounding air feel

Olivia’s PovMy heart hammered against my ribs as I stared down at the glowing screen in my hands.Fertility Rate: 100% Viable.The absolute impossibility of the words echoed in my brain like a siren. No... no, this can't be real. If Ethan found out he was fertile, the very next thing he would do—the only logical thing he would do—was run a DNA test on Vincent.Panic clawed at my throat. I couldn't let him find out. I couldn't risk losing my son, and I couldn't risk throwing myself and Vincent back into the lion's den of the Vance family after it had taken me seven years to claw my way to peace and safety.Before I could spiral further, the sharp sound of a car crunching up the gravel driveway echoed from outside.I glanced out the window and froze. Ethan's car was parked right in the courtyard. He was getting out.He's already here!My mind raced. Should I take his phone? No, it's his phone, he'll immediately look for it. What was I going to do? There was no way I could let him see t

Olivia’s PovThe words hit me like a physical blow."I have to make a quick stop at the hospital," Ethan said softly, keeping his hands on the steering wheel as we left the office. "I have some unfinished business with my doctor."A cold sweat broke out across the back of my neck. Instantly, a mental flash of the amber push notification I had seen on his phone earlier that evening ripped through my thoughts—Dr. Paul.If he went to see Dr. Paul right now, Dr. Paul would inevitably tell him the truth: that his lab work was complete, that he was 100% fertile. And the very next logical step in his mind would be… DNA. VincentNo. No, no, no.I couldn't let that happen. If he found out the truth now, everything I had fought so hard to protect for the last seven years would shatter into a million pieces."Do you... do you really have to go tonight?" I asked, forcing my voice to remain as steady as possible, though my heart was hammering violently against my ribs.Ethan glanced over at me, su
