《He Divorced Me… But I Was Never His To Lose(regret & desire)》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

RUNThe moment those words left Damian’s mouth, the entire stairwell seemed to close in around me, the cold concrete walls suddenly feeling tighter, narrower, suffocating in a way that made it difficult to breathe properly. My heartbeat had already been unstable since leaving the hospital, but now it was completely out of control, pounding so violently that every sound around me blurred together into one overwhelming rush of panic and confusion.“If they take you tonight, you disappear forever.”I stared at him, trying to understand how my life had spiraled into this nightmare so quickly, but nothing made sense anymore. Less than twenty-four hours ago, I thought the worst thing that could happen to me was signing divorce papers and walking away from a broken marriage. Now, strange men were hunting me through buildings, my pregnancy had become public gossip, and the man who divorced me was standing in front of me talking like my life was suddenly worth killing for.The footsteps below

GET IN THE CARThe moment the vehicles stopped inside the parking structure, every remaining bit of air seemed to disappear from my lungs. Headlights flooded the concrete walls with harsh white light while dark figures stepped out one after another, their movements calm and organized in a way that made the situation feel even more terrifying because these were not reckless criminals acting impulsively.They knew exactly what they were doing.And there were too many of them.Ava’s grip on my arm tightened painfully.“Serena…”Her voice shook.“We cannot stay here.”Lucien moved immediately, opening the back car door with one hand while keeping his attention fixed on the men spreading through the parking structure ahead of us.“Get in.”“No.”The answer left my mouth instantly.Damian was still bleeding beside the car, one hand pressed against his side while tension radiated from him so heavily that even injured, he still looked dangerous enough to make the approaching men cautious.“Yo

HE CAME BACK COVERED IN BLOODThe entire drive felt unreal.The city lights passed in blurred streaks outside the windows while silence filled the car so heavily that even breathing seemed too loud. Ava sat beside me, clutching her injured arm, her face pale from blood loss and shock, while Lucien remained focused on the road ahead, one hand gripping the steering wheel tightly as he drove through the city with a level of calm that no longer felt normal.Nothing about tonight was normal.My hands would not stop shaking.No matter how tightly I pressed them together, no matter how many times I tried to steady my breathing, the image of Damian standing alone in that parking structure refused to leave my head.Bleeding.Surrounded.Still trying to protect me.“The child is mine.”His voice replayed repeatedly inside my mind, cutting through every other thought until it became impossible to focus on anything else.“Serena.”Ava’s weak voice finally pulled me back slightly.I turned toward

YOUR MOTHER WANTED ME GONEFor a moment, I genuinely thought I had heard him wrong.The silence inside the medical room became suffocating as I stared at Damian, waiting for him to say something else, something that corrected what he had just said, because there was no way his mother could be connected to any of this.No way.Yet the look in his eyes told me immediately that he was not lying.“My mother.”The words echoed heavily inside my head.Fear mixed with disbelief so sharply that it became difficult to separate one emotion from the other.“What are you talking about?”My voice came out quieter than before.Damian leaned back carefully against the pillows, exhaustion visible across his face now that the adrenaline had finally faded, but even injured and pale, there was still tension beneath his expression, tension that deepened the moment his mother entered the conversation.“She never accepted our marriage.”“That is not enough to explain this.”“No.”His eyes remained fixed on

THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHINGThe silence inside the medical room became unbearable.I could hear my own heartbeat clearly now, uneven and sharp against the suffocating tension surrounding all of us while Damian stood a few feet away looking at me like he was trying to find the right words fast enough to stop everything from breaking apart completely.But it was already breaking.“You were never supposed to carry my child.”The sentence repeated in my head over and over again, each repetition twisting tighter inside my chest until breathing itself became painful.“What does that mean?”My voice barely sounded like mine anymore.Damian did not answer immediately.That hesitation hurt more than if he had spoken quickly.Evelyn crossed her arms calmly beside the doorway, her expression still composed in a way that now felt almost cruel considering the damage her words were causing.“She deserves the truth.”“You do not get to decide when she hears it.”Damian’s voice came out colder
