Julia’s POVI bolted from Grandma Evelyn's room, my heart pounding in my chest. I needed to act fast. As I hurried down the hallway, I heard voices coming from around the corner. I pressed myself against the wall, straining to listen.“We might need to administer a sedative to keep the patient calm,” a nurse was saying. “Here it is…”I peeked at their direction and saw that two nurses were talking, with a medication cart between them. My heart raced. I needed to act now before anyone found out that Grandma Evelyn was beginning to wake up. Before that old woman could talk about anything!Just then, a doctor approached the nurses and they began talking. To my delight, the three of them moved farther in the opposite direction, leaving the cart unattended. This was my chance. I moved quickly and quietly, my footsteps silent on the linoleum floor.The cart was just ahead, its drawers slightly ajar. I reached it and quickly glanced around to ensure no one was watching. My hands trembled as

Sophia’s POVBecause I was still on leave from work, I was able to pick up Reese from play school these past few days. It became the highlight of each day. Today, Daniel insisted on driving for me and accompanying me. Usually, it was Kayla who came with me or I took a cab because my arm was still in a cast. As we waited outside the classroom, I watched Reese's face light up when she spotted us through the window. Her little legs carried her quickly to the door, her arms flinging around me in a tight hug.“Mommy! Uncle Daniel!” she squealed with delight.“Hey there, princess,” Daniel said, scooping her up in his arms. “How was your day?”“It was so much fun! We painted and played with blocks,” Reese replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement.As we walked to the car, Daniel turned to me with a smile. “I was thinking, how about you two come over to my place for dinner tonight?”“Dinner at your place?” I raised an eyebrow, surprised by the invitation. “What’s the occasion?”“Nothing

Sophia’s POVI looked Reese in the eye and explained gently, “Sweetie, Daddy is still not well after his car accident. He has to stay in the hospital a bit longer to get better. But he will visit you as soon as he's feeling strong again.”Reese nodded slowly, absorbing the information. “Okay, Mommy. I hope he gets better soon.”“I hope so too, honey,” I said softly, feeling a mixture of relief and sadness.After dinner, Reese immediately settled in front of the TV to watch her favorite cartoons. It was still a bit early so Daniel and I opted for tea while we talked some more. “I'm glad to see you smiling more,” Daniel said, breaking the comfortable silence. “I'm really sorry you had to go through all this, but always remember that I'm just here.”I looked at him, his eyes filled with genuine concern and support. “I know, Daniel. And I'm glad to have amazing friends like you.”Honestly, I’ve been so stressed. First, I broke my arm and somehow caused Evelyn to suffer the accident that

Sophia’s POVThe night was still, but my mind was anything but. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts racing in circles. The image of Elijah lying in the hospital haunted me, the fear of what I might find if I visited him eating at me. What if I walked in on him and Julia acting like a couple? The mere thought twisted my stomach into knots. But then, a voice in my mind scoffed, So what? You don't love him anymore, do you?I slipped out of bed and went to check on Reese. She was already fast asleep, her small body curled up under the blankets. I gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, trying to find some peace in her innocence. When I came out of her bedroom, a knock interrupted my thoughts. I narrowed my eyes, wondering who it could be at this hour. I made my way to the door and through the peephole, I saw Adrian standing in the hallway. “Hey,” I said, letting him in. Once he was inside, that’s when I noticed that his eyes were red and glassy. The smell of alcoh

Sophia’s POVAs I stood outside the grocery store, Troy's message still fresh in my mind, my hand trembled. I began to type a message to Daniel. Maybe he could have me picked up by a driver or he could book me a cab so I could get home faster. I didn't want to see Troy—didn't want to revisit the chaos he'd brought into my life. But then, before I could finish composing my message to Daniel, there he suddenly was, appearing out of nowhere like a specter from a troubled past.“What are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice sharper than intended. “Are you following me? How did you find me?”“I have my ways,” he said mysteriously, frightening me. “I know where you live. I know where Reese goes to school. I know where you get your groceries. I know where you work…”His words gave me the chills. I could tell that he was satisfied to see the look of horror on my face. Troy shrugged nonchalantly. “We're family, Sophia. Family helps each other out.”I scoffed bitterly, despite being a little
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 152
Sophia’s POVMy heart raced with worry and confusion. Elijah was the only one who could help me make sense of this. He had to know what Troy meant and what we could do about it. Late that afternoon, I decided to go to the hospital. Nevermind what I’ll see when I get there, I thought bitterly as I remembered how Elijah and Julia had seemed closer than friends the last time I saw them there. Reaching Julia’s hospital room, I was surprised to find it empty. It was a good thing when a nurse passed by. “Oh, you’re looking for the patient?” she asked. “Yes, I’m her friend. She’s with our other friend Elijah?”“Right,” the nurse said, recognition lighting up in her eyes. “That sweet boyfriend of hers who never leaves her side? They’re in the physical therapy room.”I frowned when I heard how she described Elijah. But I reminded myself that I was here for an important purpose. I needed to speak to Elijah, even if that meant finding out for certain if he and Julia were already a couple. Fo
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 153
Sophia’s POVI raced down the hospital hallway, footsteps echoing in the sterile silence. My heart pounded, the words I'd overheard from Elijah echoing in my mind like a relentless drumbeat. Tears blurred my vision as I fled, anger and hurt mixing into a bitter cocktail. How could I still feel this way? I thought I'd moved on, convinced myself that Elijah was a closed chapter in my life. Yet, hearing his conversation with Julia tore open old wounds I thought had healed.I found solace in a quiet alcove, pressing my back against the cool wall. I can’t believe it, I thought with mixed emotions. Am I still craving for his genuine love, still hoping it’s going to come?Gathering my composure, I decided to check in on Grandma Evelyn. I took several deep breaths and began walking toward her hospital room. Since I was already here, it would be good to know about her progress from the doctors and nurses assigned to her. Approaching Evelyn's room, I caught sight of Chris's parents standing o
My Ex-Husband is Out of Control CHAPTER 154
Sophia’s POVThe hospital visit weighed heavily on my mind as I trudged back to my apartment. Chris's parents had made it abundantly clear that they still held me responsible for everything that had happened, and their harsh words replayed in my head like a broken record. I felt drained, both emotionally and physically, as I finally reached my door.As soon as I opened it, Reese came bounding toward me, her face lighting up with pure joy.“Mommy, you're home!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. She threw her little arms around my legs, and I bent down to scoop her up into a hug, feeling a warmth wash over me that I desperately needed.“Hey, sweetie,” I said, forcing a smile. “How was school today?”Reese wriggled out of my arms and ran to the small table in the living room where a colorful painting was spread out. She picked it up carefully and turned back to me, her smile wide and proud.“Look what I made!” she said, holding up the painting for me to see.I took a moment to admire he
