HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION CHAPTER SEVEN : Missing pieces of the truth
Lila stared at the screen, her world spinning as Sophia’s screams echoed faintly down the hall.She read the message twice, her vision blurring with fresh tears. The words felt like a physical blow to her chest. Full custody? They were painting her as the unstable one? After everything they had done?She let out a bitter, broken laugh that drew concerned glances from a couple sitting nearby. Her hands shook as she gripped the phone tighter. How dare they? How dare Daniel try to take this baby away from her when he had spent the last year building a secret life with Sophia?The waiting area felt too bright, too sterile. The scent of antiseptic and coffee made her stomach turn. She leaned forward, elbows on her knees, trying to steady her breathing. The image of Daniel kissing Sophia in the delivery room kept flashing in her mind like a nightmare she couldn’t escape.Her phone buzzed again. This time it was Daniel.“Lila, please. I’m sorry. I never wanted it to come to this. Meet me
HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION CHAPTER SIX : A third wheel
Lila’s blood turned to ice.“I… I didn’t request any DNA test,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I didn’t even know there was a baby until tonight. Who requested it?”The doctor paused, sounding confused. “It came from your husband’s legal team yesterday morning. They insisted on urgent testing.”The phone nearly slipped from Lila’s fingers. Daniel. Even after everything, he was still three steps ahead, manipulating, controlling and hiding. She told the driver to head to the hospital, her mind spinning with dread and rage. Was Daniel doubting the paternity of the baby all of a sudden? She couldn’t place anything well at the moment.The man who had spent months lying to her face now had the thought of ordering a DNA test behind the back of the same woman he cheated on her with?The betrayal felt endless, like peeling back layers of an onion only to find more rot underneath.Her phone was still clutched in her hand like a lifeline, or a weapon. Part of her wanted to call Danie
HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION CHAPTER FIVE : Men are scum
“No.” Lila’s voice cracked, but she held her head high, the diamond necklace he had given her glinting mockingly against her skin. “There is no ‘we’ anymore. Not tonight. Not after this.”Before Daniel could respond, Lila grabbed the lapels of his new tuxedo and yanked him forward with surprising strength. The fabric bunched tightly in her fists as she pulled his face close to hers.“Look at me in the eyes, Daniel,” she demanded, her voice low but fierce enough to carry through the silent courtyard. “When did this start? What about Drew? Didn’t you at least pity him?”Daniel’s eyes were wide with shock and shame, the red imprint of her slap still burning brightly on his cheek. Up close, she could see the faint sheen of sweat on his forehead, the way his strong jaw trembled as he struggled for words. His broad chest rose and fell rapidly under her grip, the crisp white shirt now wrinkled from her hold.“Lila… baby, please,” he whispered brokenly, his voice barely audible. “It started
HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION CHAPTER FOUR : A mistress in disguise
Sophia smiled softly, though her eyes looked tired and a little nervous. She placed one hand over Lila’s on her belly. “It’s real. Three months along and everything looks perfect so far.”The room, which had gone deathly quiet, suddenly erupted in murmurs and then applause as guests realized what was happening. Daniel stood frozen for a second before striding over. His face was a mask of tension, jaw tight and hazel eyes darting between the two women.Sophia’s expression changed immediately when Daniel approached. In one smooth, deliberate motion, she pushed Lila aside, not roughly, but firmly enough that Lila stumbled back a step, shock flashing across her tender face.Sophia stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Daniel, pressing her pregnant belly against him in an intimate embrace that made several guests whisper.“I can’t wait for us to be parents,” Sophia murmured loudly enough for Lila to hear, her voice thick with emotion and something far too possessive. She tilted her
HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION CHAPTER THREE : A night of terror
By 7:pm in the evening, their home had been elegantly transformed for the anniversary gala. Crystal chandeliers borrowed from Daniel’s company event inventory hung from temporary rigging in the large courtyard that had been transformed into a grand ballroom, A live string quartet played soft jazz in the corner, while waitstaff in crisp uniforms circulated with trays of champagne, hors d’oeuvres, and non-alcoholic sparkling elderflower for Lila.The guest list was curated for about eighty people who were close friends from their high school days, a few trusted college acquaintances. Daniel’s key business partners, and Lila’s inner circle of girlfriends who had supported her through the difficult years of trying to conceive. Most of the guests were already seated, drinking and having light deserts.A large banner reading Four Years of Forever hung above the dance floor, flanked by photos from their journey. It had their awkward high school prom picture, the rainy day they reconnected
HER EX-HUSBAND’S OBSESSION CHAPTER TWO : Blind trust
Daniel was her first love and her first in everything. They met in high school and though they separated for college, they found each other after that.But before they found themselves again, Lila had gone through a messy breakup. Daniel came back into her life when she actually needed him most. At the perfect time.So it was no news she called him ‘perfect timer’ while he called her ‘my forever’.So when she heard a voice in her sitting room that sounded almost like her husband’s, her heart almost exploded. She thought she had not heard right. But a question like “You’re… pregnant?” couldn’t be mistaken in the ears of someone like Lila. Someone who had been deprived of the joy of carrying her own child. She had longed for a child of their own for years. The doctors had been gentle but clear, “The chances were slim.”She had cried in his arms more nights than she could count, and he had held her, promising they would face it together. They considered adoption and surrogacy and whate
