Kayla’s POV

The phone had been ringing nonstop for minutes before I finally picked it up. I was already tired from a long morning at work, and the last thing I wanted was another stressful conversation.

“Kayla Brooks,” Mrs. Chataway’s voice came through sharp and impatient. “You can’t keep stalling me like this. I’m losing interest in that deal, and if you don’t make a decision soon, I’ll have no choice but to pull out.&rdquo

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 48

    Kayla’s POVSomething about these men didn’t sit right with me. From the way they stood, to how their eyes flickered whenever the officers moved too close to a certain corner of the room, everything felt off. That was why, even though the corporal told me to wait outside, I decided to follow them in.I couldn’t just stay behind when Steven could be inside that house.Before entering, I remembered the moment I had made that decision…FlashbackThe commissioner was in his home office when I arrived, his phone pressed to his ear. He looked up, startled as I burst in. “Miss Brooks? You should not be here right now.”“I’m sorry, but I need to go with the officers,” I said quickly. “Please, let me go with them.”He frowned, lowering the phone. “That’s not possible. You’ll only get in their way. It’s not safe.”“I’ll stay out o

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 47

    Steven’s POVThe room was too quiet for comfort. The only sound came from the ticking clock on the cracked wall and the low humming of the generator outside.I sat at the small round table, staring at the cold plate of food in front of me. The beans were already dry, the bread stale, and the smell made my stomach twist. Still, I forced a few bites down. I needed to stay strong.Two guards stood near the door, their eyes glued to their phones. The third sat by the window, smoking and blowing the smoke toward me as if daring me to react. I clenched my fists, trying to control my irritation.“How long do you plan to keep me here?” I asked finally, breaking the silence. “Has Ives not contacted you again?”None of them answered. The one by the window gave a faint smirk but said nothing.My patience snapped. I pushed the plate away and stood up so fast the chair screeched against the floor. “I’m talk

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 46

    Kayla PovThe voice on the other end sent a shiver down my spine. It was calm, deep, and far too familiar. For a moment, I couldn’t speak. My fingers tightened around the phone, and my throat went dry.“Why are you calling me again?” I managed to ask, my voice breaking. “I already told you everything I know.”“Calm down, Miss Brookes,” the man replied. His tone was patient, but there was something in it that made my chest tighten. “I’m not asking for more information. I’m giving you some.”My heart skipped. I pressed the phone tighter to my ear, trying to hear every sound in the background. “What do you mean?”“Steven has been found,” he said simply.I froze. The air in the room seemed to thin. For days, I had prayed to hear those words, but now that they were real, I couldn’t breathe. “He’s alive?” I whispered.“Yes

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 45

    Kayla’s POVA soft beep echoed near my ear as my eyes fluttered open. The ceiling above me looked white and blurry for a few seconds before my vision cleared. The faint smell of disinfectant filled the room, mixing with the quiet hum of machines.I turned my head slowly and saw my mother sitting right beside me, her hand gently holding mine. She looked exhausted but relieved. Her hair was a little messy, her eyes red from lack of sleep. When she noticed I was awake, she sat up immediately.“Kayla,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Thank God, you’re awake.”I blinked a few times, still trying to adjust. My throat was dry. “Mom? What… what happened?”Before she could answer, the door opened, and a doctor walked in with a clipboard in hand. He smiled as he came closer. “Good morning, Miss Brooke. How are you feeling?”I cleared my throat weakly. “Tired. And a little di

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 44

    Steven’s POVThe road ahead was quiet and lonely. The van bounced roughly over uneven ground, the dim light from outside barely reaching through the tinted windows.The four men in the vehicle were all armed. Their guns were trained on me, their eyes cold and sharp. One of them sat directly across from me, his finger twitching near the trigger.They needed the guns.I’d made sure of that.My jaw tightened as I stared at them in silence. The air inside the van was heavy with tension. I could almost hear their hearts beating fast under their tough expressions.As the engine rumbled, my mind drifted back to the moment they first caught me.FlashbackI’d been dragged into the back of another van, my head covered with a rough black bag. The stench of gasoline filled my nostrils. The ropes around my wrists burned my skin as I twisted against them. I could hear them talking in low tones, laugh

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 43

    Adrian’s POVThe sound of the metal gate screeched through my head as the warders dragged me down the narrow passage. My wrists hurt from the cuffs, but they didn’t care. I tried to resist, planting my feet firmly on the floor, but two of them pushed me hard from behind.“Move!” one barked.I lost balance and stumbled into the cell. The door slammed behind me with a loud clang that echoed in my chest.I turned around slowly, breathing hard. The cell stank of sweat, cigarettes, and damp walls. There was one man inside… tall, with messy brown hair and a grin that didn’t sit well on his face.“New roommate, huh?” he said, chuckling.I ignored him and sat on the cold metal bed. My hands trembled slightly as I pressed them against my knees. My thoughts were loud and ugly.Kayla.That woman had ruined me.If she had just agreed to come back to me, I wouldn’t have done any

    Kayla’s POVThe sky was already dark when I got home.The rain hadn’t stopped since morning. It fell harder now, like the heavens themselves were mocking me. My clothes were soaked, my hair clinging to my face as I stumbled inside, shutting the door behind me.The house… our house… felt different.

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 2
