Lila woke up with a pounding hangover, her head throbbing as if someone was hammering nails into her skull.

The bright morning light filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows felt like daggers in her eyes. She groaned softly, rolling over in the large, unfamiliar bed, her body deliciously sore in places that reminded her exactly what she had done the night before.

The memories came flooding back in fragments —the heated kisses, the intense sex in the shower and on the bed. She had let her

    Sonia grinned, leaning forward with interest. “Sounds like you had a very good night. I’m happy for you, babe. You needed that. After everything with Daniel, you deserved that.”Lila nodded, but her smile faltered slightly as the reality of the situation crept back in. The divorce, the custody battle, the baby, the betrayal — it was all still there, waiting for her.Sonia laughed. “That’s my girl. Live a little.”The two friends continued talking and giggling over their coffee, the morning light streaming through the large windows of Sonia’s apartment. Sonia was in full best-friend mode — teasing Lila about her night with Alex, asking for more juicy details, and making her laugh with exaggerated reactions.“So he was a ten, huh?” Sonia said, wiggling her eyebrows. “Tell me more. Did he have any special moves? Was he the type to talk dirty or the strong silent type?”Lila blushed but couldn’t help laughing. “Both. He was… intense. Very intense. And yes, he knew exactly what he was doi

    Lila woke up with a pounding hangover, her head throbbing as if someone was hammering nails into her skull. The bright morning light filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows felt like daggers in her eyes. She groaned softly, rolling over in the large, unfamiliar bed, her body deliciously sore in places that reminded her exactly what she had done the night before.The memories came flooding back in fragments —the heated kisses, the intense sex in the shower and on the bed. She had let herself go completely, losing herself in pleasure for the first time in years.She turned her head and saw Alex still asleep beside her, his dark hair tousled, his muscular chest rising and falling with steady breaths. The sheet was draped low on his hips, leaving little to the imagination.For a moment, guilt tried to creep in. She had just filed for divorce yesterday. She was still technically married. But she pushed it away firmly. Gabriel didn’t deserve that.She slipped out of bed quietly, ga

    The invitation was bold, dripping with confidence and raw want. His fingers tightened slightly on her hips, pulling her closer so she could feel just how much he wanted her.The length of the black dress was just below her bottom now. If she bent down, her ass would peek out from the dress, which made him all the more excited to peel it off her skin.Before she could overthink it, she turned her head slightly toward the bar where Sonia and Mia were watching. She caught their eyes and gave them a small, unmistakable nod — the universal “I’m leaving with him” signal.Sonia’s eyes widened in delight, and she gave Lila a big thumbs-up, mouthing “Go get it, girl! Go get some other dick.”Mia grinned and raised her glass in a silent toast, clearly thrilled for her friend.The ride to his house was a haze of heated kisses in the back of his car. His hands were everywhere — sliding up her thighs, gripping her waist, pulling her closer as the driver tried to keep his eyes on the road. By the

  • HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION    CHAPTER SIXTEEN : A night of pleasure

    At about 1:am, Lila was now certain that she was completely drunk. She saw an object in double and her eyes were dizzy. She belched and took the last drop of the alcohol, gulping it down.The club house was noisy and the dancers were having fun. But what mattered to Lila was completely different. She hadn't come for fun seeking but to forget her misery and heartbreak. She had come to celebrate her separation from the one man she had truly loved all her life.Lila was on her eighth or maybe ninth cocktail when she noticed a truly devastatingly handsome gent standing by the bar. He was slightly taller than Daniel, handsome in a way that felt immediately wrong. His dark hair was neatly ruffled revealing a sharp jawline that laid beneath beautiful grey eyes.The air around him screamed quiet confidence that made him stand out even in the crowded club. Their eyes met across the room. He smiled slowly, knowing, and undeniably attractive. Unbeknownst to her, he had had his eyes on her for

    The moment she stepped inside the house, it all felt like a graveyard of memories.She sank onto the couch in the living room and cried. The tears came hard and uncontrollable. Deep, guttural sobs that shook her entire body. She cried for the marriage she thought she had. For the man she had loved since high school. For the future she had dreamed of with him. And most especially, for the baby that might be hers but was being kept from her by the two people who had betrayed her the most.She cried until her throat was raw and her eyes were swollen.When the tears finally slowed, she picked up her phone with trembling fingers and called Sonia.Sonia answered on the second ring. “Lila? Are you okay? How did it go at the lawyer’s office?”Lila’s voice was hoarse when she spoke. “I filed for divorce. It’s done. The papers are submitted. He just has to sign them and it’s official.”There was a moment of silence on the other end. Then Sonia’s voice came through, warm and full of support.

    Lila turned to the nurse, her voice trembling as she spoke again . “Who was Sophia’s midwife? Did she attend her clinic appointments here at this hospital?”The nurse hesitated, clearly uncomfortable with the line of questioning. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t disclose that information without proper authorization. Patient privacy laws—”“Please,” Lila interrupted, her voice cracking with desperation. “I was part of the surrogacy arrangement. I need to know. The timeline… it doesn’t add up. I thought the baby was supposed to be much more premature.”The nurse glanced around, then sighed softly. “Look Mrs Coleman, I can tell you that Sophia has been coming to this hospital for prenatal care for the past six months. Her midwife was Dr. Irene Ramirez. She attended most of her appointments here. The pregnancy was listed as natural conception.”The words hit Lila like a punch to the gut. Lila stumbled as she stepped back. Six months, not three months.Nothing had prepared her for this mome
