Aiden

She threw the torn pieces at me and turned to leave. I grabbed her arm, yanking her back.

I arranged this meeting to show her what kind of asshole her precious ex-husband really was. He didn't give a damn about her. Never did. Yet here she was, crying. Tears for a man who wasn't me.

My nails dug into her arm, but the anger wasn't enough to mask the bitterness I felt.

It pissed me off how easily he could still control her emotions without even trying. Even after he hit her, he threw her out into the rain. She had waited for him like a fucking fool. Beaming like an idiot when he entered.

I clenched my jaw.

I was going to sever every last fucking tie she had to him.

She tried to pull away, but I tightened my grip, dragging her closer. She always did pointless things like she didn't know how this would end.

"Let me go!" She yelled, hitting my hand. "Let go, you bastard!"

She was shaking. Her green eyes red with tears. She was breaking in front of me, and I knew how much she

    LeahFor a moment, I thought he'd go through with it, but he didn't. He just exhaled slowly and rested his forehead against mine, eyes closing like it cost him something to stop."Fuck," he muttered, his voice rough, almost pained. "I want you... so badly, doll."I tried my best not to squirm when my eyes caught the obvious bulge in his pants."Should... you be acting this way when you're married?" I snapped, trying to summon anger to mask the ache building between my thighs.He chuckled softly. "How did I get married without my knowledge?" My brows pulled together."Unless," he went on lazily. "I was married to you before my memory loss."The teasing only fueled my irritation. I tried to push away from him, but his hand held me in place. "I'm not married," he said, the humour draining from his voice. "And that kid isn't mine. At least not biologically." His thumb stroked slow circles over the mole.I waited for a sign that he was lying, but it never came."That's none of my fucking

    LeahA fucking gun."A toy gun," Aiden corrected without looking at me."He's five."Roman had already lifted a blue plastic one from the set, his fingers curling around the trigger."It shoots freaking foam," Aiden replied evenly."Roman, put that down."He looked up at me, uncertainty creeping into the excitement on his face. "Mommy."Even his puppy eyes wasn't going to change my mind."Baby," I said softly but firmly, "put it back in the box."His shoulders slumped as he reluctantly placed it back.I turned to Aiden. "And you," I said coldly. "Follow me."Aiden didn't say a word as he rose and followed me into the kitchen. I could feel the weight of his stare burning into my ass the entire way. It sent unwelcome shivers racing up my spine. I stopped abruptly at the island and spun around to confront him, and he almost walked straight into me.His eyes snapped up to mine, a deep frown carving itself into his stupidly handsome face. That same judging look he'd worn earlier outside my

    LeahI pressed the doorbell, and it opened on the third ring.Edward stood behind it shirtless and barefoot, curls messy like he'd run a hand through them many times. He blinked when he saw me. "Leah?"My stomach twisted in guilt.I had come to apologise for last night and had spent hours rehearsing, but every word disappeared the moment I saw him."Hi.""Hi," he repeated. "I wasn't expecting you.""Yeah... I tried calling before coming, but you weren't picking up."His face scrunched as he rubbed his temple. "My head is killing me.""Were you drinking?""A can knocked me out," he chuckled.I laughed. "It's nice to meet someone I'm better than. Two cans is my max."He laughed with me, low and tired for a moment before it died an awkward death, and we both found anything to stare at except each other.Say something, goddammit."Come on in," he said, nodding to the side as he stepped back.Although I knew being inside with him would be more awkward, I still crossed the threshold.His l

    Aiden"That's none of your fucking business."I reached up, my fist curling in her hair, yanking her head back until her eyes were forced to meet mine. "Answer me.""Mr. Kingston—""Are you?" I growled.Her mouth curved slightly, a mocking smile. "Yes."The word hit me like a blow."As a matter of fact," she went on her voice sweet with poison, "he had me pinned against this same wall last night as he—"I lost it.My hand slid from her hair to her throat, slamming her back against the wall with brutal force. The sound echoed through the space, matching the pounding of my chest.I struggled to breathe as my grip tightened, feeling her pulse jump widly under my palm. But her eyes didn't widen or flicker with fear. It was as if she expected that reaction."What the fuck did you just say?" I asked, my voice warning her not to test my patience."I said he fucked me," she whispered. My eyes widened in horror as her hands slid up her body slowly until they cupped her breasts, squeezing the

    AidenI should have known the irritating, restless feeling in my chest the first day I saw the boy was recognition.Or maybe I had known all along and chose to deny it because he reminded me of a version of myself I hated. A version that belonged to a past I wasn't ready to face. A weakness and life I erased."He's not yours. Do you think I would have had him if he was?"Her words echoed in my head as the silence in the car grew heavier than before.I stared out the window, jaw locked, nails biting into my thigh hard enough to hurt.She should have done a better job if she wanted me to believe her.I knew it the moment our eyes met. The way her gaze flickered, the sharp edge in her voice, the way she spoke too fast, defensively. It was fucking obvious she was lying. And I hated that she wasn't.I had never wanted a child and would never have let her keep the child knowing... knowing she hated me and that every time she looked at him, she might see my face and feel resentment instead o

    LeahHis eyes dragged slowly down my body, darkening as they went. Then his jaw tightened like something about me bothered him, and that sent a prickle of unease skating over my skin.I tore my gaze away first and forced a smile as I rejoined the group, pretending not to notice the way his attention lingered."Your son is adorable," Freya said, stepping closer, her smile the fakest I'd ever seen.When she reached for Roman's hair, I instinctively pulled him closer to my side.Freya's hand paused midair."I don't eat kids, Leah," she chuckled.Well, you look like you do."He hates it when people touch his hair," I replied, mirroring her smile.A beat passed as we stared at each other, the air charged with tension.Then she smirked. "Is that so?" She stepped back to stand beside Aiden, her hand trailing up his chest. Aiden frowned, catching her wrist and quietly pushing her hand away."Happy birthday, Roman," Laura, who I hadn't noticed, said.Roman huffed and turned his face away."Co
