His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)
“Oh my goodness, Lila. I regret how we started. After hearing about everything, I just want us to be good friends. Okay?”
Her performance doesn’t falter. Lior’s voice cuts in, steady but curious. “What are you doing here, Aurelia?”
Her eyes glisten as if on command. She steps toward him, voice trembling, loud enough to echo through the room. “Oh, Lior, this life is so cruel. Who would dare do this to our dear Lila? I was terrified when I heard—I couldn’t bear it. I just want us all happy again, the way we used to be.” She falls against his chest, hiding her face, wiping away tears that never really formed.
