Chased by my Ex Husband Come Alone
Grace~7 Days Later…The sterile smell of disinfectant fills my lungs as I lie on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling. It’s been a week since Seb was taken. Seven days and every minute of it feels like a lifetime. My mind replays the moment I realized he was gone over and over, a broken record I can’t shut off.Seb’s laughter is still etched in my ears—the way it used to bounce around the house, filling every corner with life. Now, the silence is unbearable. It weighs on me, crushing my chest until I can barely breathe. I haven’t cried in hours, not because I don’t want to, but because my body seems to have given up. The tears are there, trapped somewhere deep, too heavy to fall.Tristin’s mom, Anna, sits beside me, her hand gripping mine tightly. I feel the weight of her concern, but I can’t bring myself to meet her eyes. What good are words when my son is gone? Her voice is gentle, coaxing, as she dabs a tissue at her own eyes.“ Grace, sweetheart, you have to eat something.

TristinI thought I knew and had seen everything in life. A broken family. Abandoned dreams. Horrible deaths. Secrets that damage your existence. If someone had told me there is still something in this world that I have yet to see, to feel, I would not have believed them.But in the past seven days, I have realized that nothing I have endured compares to the agony of not knowing where your child is. It feels like your existence has been ripped away, and there is no reason to live, and if you live, there is no light. It’s an unbearable mix of terror, helplessness, and guilt. Every second becomes a torment, every moment without your child stretching into an eternity filled with endless questions. Are they safe? Are they scared? Are they hurt?The fear is more constant than the pain. It makes it hard to think, to breathe. It feels like you have failed at the most sacred duty of your life. And that failure echoes in every quiet moment, every sleepless night, gnawing away at you until

Tristin“ Luca! ” I can’t keep the urgency out of my voice, the raw panic creeping through. “Get the car ready. We are going to the hospital. ”I can feel the weight of my son in my arms, feel every breath he takes. I can finally hold onto him. I move as fast as I can, not stopping until I am outside, slipping into the backseat of the car. His little hand clutches at my shirt weakly, and I squeeze it, not caring if I am holding him too tightly.“ Go, now! ” I snap at Luca, my voice rough with urgency. The car starts moving, but as the seconds tick by, my mind snaps back to the one thing I can’t ignore—the hospital. He was taken from a hospital. The place where he should have been safe, and instead, this...This nightmare happened.“ No. No hospital. ” I say, shaking my head as panic makes my chest tighten. “ Call the doctor. Tell him to meet us at home. Now. ”Luca’s eyes flicker to my gaze in the mirror, but he doesn’t argue. He starts calling the doctor after picking up the phone,

GraceIt takes me hours to drive to that spot. The moment I reach there, another message pops up. She changes the location of our meetup. I want to scream and cry in frustration, but at that moment, I move like a robot.Overcome by panic and fear, I put the address on the map and drive to the location without a second thought. The location seems to be deep into the woods, and in the end, I have to abandon my car on the road and walk through the forest to reach the shady small cabin.The night falls, and everything around me darkens. As I turn on the torch and see the signals on my phone going off, my heart doesn’t tremble—not even for a moment.I keep walking to approach that trap faster. I know she won’t let me go once I set foot in that small place and offer myself up on a silver platter.But it doesn’t matter. Saving my son means everything to me.Besides, I have made sure to take a car that has an advanced tracking system activated. Tristin will notice if I am gone for so long.

Grace“ Man, when do we get the money? ” My ears perk up at the name of money. I blink and take a few deep breaths to calm myself.“ How— ” My throat feels drier than the Sahara. “ How much money—did this Boss—offer you? ”All six pairs of eyes turn to me at once. I try to focus on any details I can remember, but their eyes alone can not help me, and the rest of their faces are hidden behind the black masks they are wearing. “ When did she wake up? ” One of the two wiping the gun in the corner questions.I suck in a sharp breath and swallow to wet my throat. “ What—Whatever you were offered—I can pay more than that… I am…richer than whoever…hired you… ”Silence falls in the constricted space before laughter erupts. “ Boss did say she will try to tempt us with her sweet talk, eh? Didn’t expect her to sound so genuine! ” The one in the corner chuckles louder.My shoulders droop. “ Don’t you—Don’t you know who I am? ”“ We don’t care, Lady. Keep your mouth shut before I knock you out

GraceEverything feels like it’s happening in slow motion. My breaths come out ragged like the air has turned too heavy to draw in. I can’t focus on anything except the sound of footsteps thundering behind the cabin. Ethan’s men are chasing the kidnappers, their loud voices echoing through the quiet forest.And then, through the chaos, he walks towards me.His dark, stormy eyes lock onto mine, and for a second, I am unsure if I’m relieved or terrified. His jaw is clenched, his movements controlled, but there is an edge of violence about him that’s hard to ignore. He stops in front of me and without a word, pulls the tape off my mouth. I wince, a burn spreading over my lips and the skin around it.Then, he starts untying the ropes binding my wrists. My skin burns where the ropes had cut into me, and as his hands work quickly, I finally manage to utter. “ What are you doing here? ”“ I could ask you the same thing. What the fuck are you doing here, Grace? ” His voice is loud, filled

GraceMy heart stops. My life flashes before my eyes—Seb’s laughter, Mom’s warm hugs, Ania’s teasing smile. And then Tristin. His face is the last thing I see in my mind, his voice the last thing I hear, telling me he loves me.I should have told him more often how much he meant to me. I should have…The gunshot rings out, and I flinch, bracing for the pain. But it never comes. Instead, there is a thud, and when I open my eyes, the kidnapper is falling to the ground. Ethan stands a few feet away, his gun still smoking. Unconsciously, shock makes me stumble back. I barely have time to process what’s happening before my foot slips on the edge of the cliff. “ Grace! ” Ethan yells my name, panic raw in his voice, but gravity pulls me down. The icy water rushes up to meet me. It doesn’t happen like it happens in the movies—a slow fall that never comes. It happens fast. One moment I am suspended in air, and then I am in the water. It swallows me whole and I am falling deeper into the

Grace“ Ethan. ” I whisper, my voice trembling. “ Look there. ”My hand is on Ethan’s sleeve before I even realize it, the rough material of his coat brushing against my palm. The contact is fleeting—a moment of impulse I immediately regret. He stops walking and looks down at where I am gripping him. Slowly, his gaze shifts up to my face, his expression unreadable as always. The sharp angles of his face are shadowed under the pale moonlight, making him look even more distant. I follow the trail of his eyes and immediately release his sleeve like it burned me. My fingers curl into a fist as I pull my hand back to my side, my heartbeat drumming in my ears. He starts walking again, and I follow him without saying a word this time. We are dripping wet as we approach the lone figure in the distance. The man stands still as a statue. My chest tightens at the sight of him. Something about the way he is just… waiting puts me on edge.“ Stay here… ” Ethan mutters suddenly, holding his han

Grace“ I don’t know what you are talking about, Mrs. Roberto. ” Luca says, bringing my attention back to him.“ Do you expect me to believe Tristin has abandoned his old ways completely just to appease me? Or do you think I am blind and deaf? Or maybe…do you think I don’t know about the people you and Tristin tortured in the past few days just to find Sebastian? ” I scoff, my eyes beginning to burn.Luca’s brows lift as he stares at me. I can see the wheels turning in his head.“ I will have to ask Boss before I— ”“ Make sure to tell him that I will go alone if he tries to come in my way.

I expect him here in a few hours. ”“ Boss is not with any secretary. He is cleaning up the mess you created, Mrs. Ro

GraceIt’s fine to see Tristin’s face, but what are those intense emotions?Ethan has moved on. Or that’s what he desperately wants me to believe. So why did he have that look in his eyes?I throw away the blankets and get out of bed. As I am passing by the mirror beside the door, I pause and look into it.There are scratches all over my neck—injuries I have caused myself. I brush my fingers against a long line before smiling at myself.A few weeks ago, when I cut my finger while trying to make apple pie, Tristin made a terrible fuss over it. He had stayed home for the whole day to look after a small cut—something I have found so extra on his part.But now that I am covered in scratches, he won’t come. I swallow as my gaze drifts higher to the bandage on my forehead. He knows…what Ethan has done to me. There is no way I can ever…sleep with Ethan in my right mind or anyone who is not Tristin, for a matter of fact.And yet, Tristin didn’t…give me the benefit of the doubt. Not even once

Grace“ There are no traces of drugs in your system. ” Doctor Yvonne Smith, who is a woman in her 30s, sighs as she hands me the results.They have done everything as fast as possible, but now the results have come out opposite of what I was expecting.I stare at the report, and another suspicion starts growing. What if Ethan has bribed these people, and I am being an idiot for believing this?“ And about the other thing, we can’t really be sure, Mrs. Roberto. You were taking a shower for so long, and there are no clear signs of penetration. It can be because you had gentle consensual intercourse, or it can be because you didn’t have any intercourse at all. There is no way to tell. ” She continues in her professional voice that’s tinged with a hint of sympathy. I stare at the paper in my hands, going over every line several times as if searching for something that will confirm my doubts and not go completely against it instead.When Mom and the servants found me in the bathroom, I fe

GraceHe wraps his arms around my knees and looks up at me, hoping for me to pick him up. He was gone for so long.I reach out with shaking hands and pick him up. He presses his face into my neck before I hear him sobbing against me. My knees give out from under me, making me drop in the middle of the lounge. His cries grow louder.I pat his back weakly, my eyes burning but no tears welling in them. He continues to cry for a long time—or maybe it feels like that for me because my arms have gone numb.“ Seb, don’t cry. Be a good boy. Don’t make your Mommy worry about you anymore. ” Mom steps closer and caresses the back of Seb’s head.He pulls his head out of my neck and stares at me with his wet, round eyes. It’s like someone has gripped my heart, refusing to let it go.“ Are you…worrying, Mommy? ” He murmurs, grabbing my cheeks in his small hands.I shake my head, like a robot who has no feelings but only knows how to respond. “ I am fine, Mommy. See. ” He shakes my cheeks as if tr

Grace“ He came out of nowhere and saved you? ” Now that he says it aloud, it sounds so weird. Even Ethan’s reasoning regarding that matter is making my head spin. “ Yes. ” I nod, the guilt tightening like a noose around my neck. “ I…ran out of the cabin while…they were busy fighting among themselves. A kidnapper chased me, and I ended up falling from a low cliff into the lake. ”“ And Ethan saved you again? ” He says before I can finish what I was trying to tell him.The noose tightens. I nod again. “ he did. ”“ What happened then? ” Luca asks calmly.I continue, knowing that Tristin might not listen to me, but if I can convince Luca to believe me, Tristin will listen to him. He trusts Luca, after all.“ I had no phone on me. And I was freezing. We were wandering in the woods when we came across the cabin and that old man. He offered to let us stay until the morning because there were dangerous animals in the woods at night. I didn’t want to stay—I swear…I didn’t. But…I had no opt

Grace“ It’s better if he doesn’t show up in front of Boss for a while. ” That’s what Luca said when I tried to take Ethan with me.Ethan agreed with what Luca was saying. I was desperate, but even in that desperation, I had realized what would happen if I asked Ethan to explain things to Tristin while he was still reeling with the shock of seeing what he did.That’s why, without saying anything, I followed Luca. Tristin was long gone, and the journey back home left me feeling numb.Now, as I sit in the backseat of the car and stare at my home, I feel foreign in my body. Tears have dried, and my mind has grown eerily silent. How much can someone cry anyway?What is the use of crying, to begin with?There are some things in your life that you can fix and some mistakes that can be amended. But then there are things, these mistakes that don’t get fixed or can’t be made right. “ Doctor Smith is waiting inside. He will take a look at you. ” Luca says from his spot in the passenger seat.

I drank the same alcohol you did, Grace. Don’t you remember? ”“No...” My voice falters, my knees threatening to give out beneath me. My mind is racing, trying to piece together fragments that don’t exist. I can remember—I tell myself.But everything is so blank. “ You are lying. Tell me you are lying. Say we didn’t...that we didn’t do anything. Please, Ethan. Just say that this is all your plan, and we… ”Ethan’s jaw tightens. He runs a hand through his hair, his voice rising in frustration. “ I would have told you if I could, but I don’t remember anything! I don’t remember touching you or…or leaving those marks on you. But they are there. So, I must have.”The weight of his words crushes me. My legs give out, and I collapse onto the floor, clutching the sheets to my chest. Tears blur my vision as sobs wrack my body.

GraceMy head pounds like someone is smashing a drum inside my skull. I groan, my body heavy and sluggish, and that’s when I feel it—a hard yank on my body. Rough. Unforgiving. My eyes flutter open, and the blurry image of Tristin comes into view. I want to call his name, but my throat feels so dry, and my head is about to explode.Tiredly, I blink while trying to reach him. And that’s when I start to make out what he is doing. He is above Ethan, fists flying as Ethan lies on the floor, blood dripping from his nose and lip. My brain can’t catch up with what is happening.“ Tr—Tristin? ” I croak out. My hand instinctively reaches out, grabbing his arm to stop him. “ What—What are you doing? Stop… ”He doesn’t stop. Instead, his arm jerks, shoving me backward like I am nothing. My head slams against the headboard, and a sharp pain shoots through me. Warm liquid trails down my forehead, and when I touch it, my fingers come back red. Blood. I am bleeding.I push myself up, my vision bl

But I can’t think too much. I have to check. I push open the door to the cabin. Luca is right behind me, pulling the man along with him. The air inside is thick, heavy, and the dim light from a single lamp makes everything look wrong.I don’t think. I just move.I open the door to the only room. And then my heart stops.There she is. Grace.The world around me comes to a stop, and everything inside me turns upside down.She is lying in bed. Bare shoulders exposed to the light, the blanket barely covering her. For a moment, everything feels distant. Is this real, or is it my hyper imagination tricking me again?I don’t understand what I am seeing. My eyes move down, and I see a man’s arm wrapped around her. Holding her. Pulling her close.No one does that. Only I do. She will never—never let anyone
