The Wife He Never Wanted Chapter Forty two
I stood outside the ICU room with my hand on the door. My legs would not move. Sophia stood beside me, one arm around my shoulders. Mia sat on a chair down the hall with Lucas asleep in her lap. The little boy looked so peaceful. So innocent. He had no idea his whole world was falling apart too.The doctor waited patiently. “He is asking for you. His vitals are dropping. If you want to see him…”I nodded. I had to.I walked in alone.Damien looked even smaller than before. His skin was gray. The machines beeped slower now. He turned his head when he heard me. His eyes were full of pain and regret.“Lila…” His voice was so weak. “Come here. Please.”I sat on the edge of the bed and took his hand. It was cold. Too cold.“I am here,” I whispered. Tears fell onto the white sheets. “I am right here.”He squeezed my hand with what little strength he had left. “The boy… Lucas… he is mine. I cannot lie anymore. It happened before I really changed. Before I understood what I had with you. I wa

The room went completely silent except for the beeping machines.Mia stood there holding the little boy’s hand. Lucas looked up at Damien with big grey eyes that were heartbreakingly familiar.“Daddy?” the boy said again, his voice small and hopeful.Damien’s face went white. The heart monitor started beeping faster. “Mia… What are you doing here? I told you never to come.”Mia’s eyes filled with tears. She looked at me, then back at him. “He deserves to know his father. I am tired of hiding. Tired of the lies. You promised me you would leave her. You promised you would choose us.”I felt like the floor had disappeared under my feet. I grabbed the edge of the bed to stay upright.“You have a son,” I whispered. My voice sounded like it belonged to someone else. “You have another family. While I was fighting for us. While I was giving you chance after chance. You had this whole other life.”Damien tried to sit up. Pain flashed across his face. “Lila, please. It is not like that. Lucas…

The hospital lights were too bright. They hurt my eyes. I sat beside Damien’s bed in the ICU, still wearing the same blood-stained clothes from the alley. My hands were raw from washing them over and over, but I could still see the red under my fingernails.He looked so still. So broken. Machines beeped steadily around him, keeping him alive. The doctor had said the next few hours were critical. One bullet had grazed his heart. Another had torn through his side. They had done everything they could.I held his hand. It was cold.“I hate you right now,” I whispered. My voice cracked. “I hate that you lied again. I hate that I let myself believe you this time. But I still love you. God help me, I still love you. So you better fight. You better come back to me and our children.”A nurse came in quietly to check the monitors. She gave me a small, sympathetic smile. “Talking to him helps. He can hear you, even if he can’t respond yet.”I nodded. When she left, I leaned closer to Damien.“I

Everything went black for only a second.The gunshot rang out loud between the warehouses. I waited for the pain. For the darkness. For it all to end right there on the cold ground with Damien’s blood on my hands.It never came.Instead the man with the gun dropped like a stone. A red stain spread fast across his chest. Behind him stood Sophia. She held a gun with both hands, her arms shaking so hard I thought she might drop it. Her face was pale. Her eyes wide with shock.“I followed you,” she whispered. Her voice cracked. “I could not let you face this alone. I could not…”I crawled to Damien. He was still breathing but barely. Shallow, wet gasps. Blood bubbled at the corner of his mouth. I pressed my hands against the wound on his chest. Warm blood kept coming. Too much blood.“Damien,” I sobbed. “Stay with me. Please. You do not get to do this. You do not get to leave me after everything. Not now. Not like this.”His eyes fluttered open. “Lila… I am sorry… for all of it… I love yo

I could not breathe. The black car stayed glued to my bumper no matter how many turns I made through the narrow back streets. My hands were slick with sweat on the steering wheel. The motel was far behind me now. All I could think about was getting to Sophia’s house. Getting to my children. Getting them somewhere safe before everything fell apart again.The phone in the passenger seat buzzed again. Another unknown number. I ignored it. I could not handle more lies. More photos. More proof that the man I had started to trust had been living a completely different life.The road narrowed. Old warehouses rose on both sides like broken teeth. I swerved into a dark alley between two buildings and killed the engine. I ducked low in the seat, heart pounding so hard it hurt. Footsteps echoed outside. Slow. Confident. A shadow fell across the windshield.A man in a dark jacket stepped into view. He held a gun loosely at his side. He smiled when he saw me through the glass.“End of the road, Li

The house was quiet in a way that felt wrong. Damien had taken the kids to the zoo for the day so I could have some time alone to write. I sat at my desk with a fresh cup of coffee, staring at the blinking cursor on my laptop. The words were not coming today. Something felt off. A heavy feeling in my chest I could not name.My phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number.Check your mailbox. You have been lied to for years.I stared at the screen. My hands started shaking. I walked outside to the mailbox with my heart pounding. Inside was a thick envelope. No return address. Just my name written in neat black ink.I carried it to the kitchen table and opened it slowly.Photos spilled out. Dozens of them.Damien with a woman I had never seen before. Not Elena. Someone younger. They were in different cities. Different hotels. Different years. The dates on the photos went back to before Rose was born. Even during the time he claimed he was trying to win me back.A letter was clipped to
