Too Late to Win Me Back, Mr. Ex!
“Give my best friend one month to stay in our house, Love.”
Aurelia had been enjoying her afternoon snack when her husband’s words made her turn toward him. “Stay… with us?”
“Yes.” Ethan stepped closer, taking her hand, his voice soft with pleading. “Just one month. You heard what Anna told us yesterday about her life, didn’t you? Could you really bear to see her suffer even more? What if her ex-husband comes back and hurts her again? She’s pregnant too—just like you.”
Auri looked at her husband for a long moment, searching his face.
“Please,” Ethan said quietly. “Will you?”
The permission Aurelia gave that day became the beginning of a ruin she had never imagined.
From the moment Anna arrived, Ethan’s attention slowly drifted away from her. The affection that once belonged fully to Auri was now divided—often leaning toward his childhood friend, who had come carrying sorrow and carefully displayed wounds.
Day after day, she lost more than her husband’s warmth. Until one day—heavily pregnant, her body was still weak after nearly losing her life due to a severe allergic reaction—Aurelia was driven out of the house she had once called her heaven.
But her suffering didn’t end there.
At the lowest point of her life, Auri was abducted by her husband’s business rival—used as leverage to pressure Ethan Harrow in a ruthless corporate battle. A real threat. A pregnant woman’s life is placed on the line.
And yet, to Ethan… it was nothing more than a trick.
Ethan didn’t come.
He believed it was all a lie. A cheap performance—one he thought his own wife had staged.And perhaps, in that moment, he had already lost everything… long before he realized what he had thrown away.
