Ex-Husband Forgot Ever Divorcing Me Chapter 9—Taking Steps Back
MONIQUE“I can’t,” I whispered, the words scraping out of my raw throat. “This… this isn’t right anymore. I should go.”The second the words left my lips, Elise lunged.Her hand cracked across my face so hard my head snapped sideways. The sting exploded across my cheek, white-hot and blinding. Before I could even lift my arms to shield myself, her fingers were in my hair, yanking viciously, dragging me forward.“You did this!” she screamed, voice cracking into something hysterical and ugly. “You did this to him, you bitch! You ruined everything!”Pain lanced through my scalp. I cried out, one hand flying up to pry at her grip while the other instinctively curved over my still-flat stomach, protecting the tiny life no one else in this room knew about yet.Everything happened in a blur.A low, furious growl tore through the room. Maxwell moved—impossibly fast for a man who had just woken from a coma, body covered in bandages and bruises. He shoved Elise hard. She stumbled back with a sh

MONIQUEThe doctor rushed into the room moments later, stethoscope dangling around his neck, with two nurses following closely behind. The tension in the air was already suffocating, and it only grew heavier as the medical team entered.Maxwell sat on the edge of the bed, legs dangling, eyes half-lidded but unmistakably alive. That same lazy, heart-stopping grin curved his bruised lips—the one that had once made me forget how to breathe when we were young and stupid and invincible.“Doc?” His voice came out rough, like gravel dragged over velvet. “Why’s everyone looking at me like I just crawled out of a grave? And why does my skull feel like it went ten rounds with a semi-truck?”The doctor's gaze flicked with brief surprise before professional calm slid back into place. He crossed to the bed in three quick strides, checking the machines, shining a penlight into Maxwell’s eyes, firing off the standard questions.“I’m Dr. John. Can you tell me your full name, your age, and what year i

MONIQUEThree weeks later.My luggage was already neatly packed and waiting in Chelsea’s car outside the hospital. She was ready to drive me straight to the airport the moment I stepped out. Leaving the country was my only option now—the best decision I could make after everything that had happened. The Lohr family hated me. They wanted me gone. And honestly, I wanted to disappear too.But before I left, I needed to see him one last time.I needed to know that Maxwell was still breathing, even though they forbid me from visiting him at the hospital since that night happened.I just heard he fell into a coma.My hand trembled as I pushed open the door to his private hospital room. The lights were dim, and the steady beep of the heart monitor filled the heavy silence. There he was—lying motionless on the hospital bed, his once powerful body now covered in bandages and bruises. My heart clenched painfully at the sight.I took a hesitant step forward, wanting to get closer, just to make
Ex-Husband Forgot Ever Divorcing Me Chapter 6—The Blame is on Me
MONIQUE“You shameless bitch!” Laurel’s slap cracked across my face the moment we reached the hospital. “What did you do to my son? What the hell did you do to him, Monique?!” She seized both my arms, her short nails biting into my skin.“L-Laurel!” I broke down completely, sobs tearing out of me uncontrollably.My eyes had been swollen for hours. My body felt hollow, drained. From the instant the truck struck Maxwell until this moment, I still couldn’t stop crying.His blood stained my clothes from when I’d tried to help him right after the crash. Passersby had rushed over the second they saw us. The hospital was only steps away, so he was inside almost immediately. The doctors and nurses still hadn’t come out of the operating room.My knees buckled. I dropped to the floor in front of Laurel. “M-Maxwell, he.. I don’t want to lose him… I can’t accept this. I'm sorry!”“This is your fault he’s in there right now!” she shouted. “Because you’re so desperate, this is what happened! All t

MONIQUE“Hello, Mon? Finally, you answered!”Chelsea’s voice pulled me back from the quiet night air as I answered her calls. I was standing in the hospital parking lot, phone pressed to my ear, one hand absently rubbing my still-flat belly.“Sorry, I turned off my phone,” I said softly. “I just finished the check-up and I’m heading to the car now.”She let out a shaky breath. “Listen… Maxwell barged into my clinic earlier. He looked terrifying, Mon. Eyes wild, voice loud, demanding to see you. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. I tried to throw him out, but he kept pushing about the pregnancy. I… I ended up telling him you’re at the hospital for your follow-up. I’m so sorry.”I stopped walking for a second. A faint, tired smile curved my lips even though she couldn’t see it.“It’s okay, Chelsea,” I said quietly. “Really. I’ll handle it.”“Monique…” Her voice cracked with worry. “He left here in a rush. He’s probably already on his way to you. Are you sure you’re going to be okay? I c
Ex-Husband Forgot Ever Divorcing Me Chapter 4—She's Pregnant?
MAXWELLShe signed the divorce.The jazz in the upscale bar felt too loud tonight. I was on my third whiskey, barely tasting it.Denver leaned back in the booth. “Lunatic. If you’re already regretting it, then you shouldn’t have divorced her in the first place.”“I’m not regretting it,” I said, staring into the glass.“Bullshit.” Denver snorted. “We’re supposed to be drinking and having fun, but you’ve been staring into that glass like it owes you money. If you’re going to sit here and brood, then you shouldn’t have rushed the divorce so soon.”“It’s been years, Denver. Years of the same thing,” I muttered. “She just found out about Elise and Ambrose that day. What was I supposed to do? Keep lying?”“You could’ve waited,” he shot back. “You could’ve handled it better. Monique is one hell of a woman. Sexy, beautiful, and the most obedient, submissive wife I’ve ever seen. Never nagged you once. Most men would kill for a woman like that.”My grip tightened on the glass. “Watch your mouth
