Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart Chapter 112
Richard’s POVLiving with Sarah and Isabelle under one roof felt like walking a tightrope over a pit of fire. No matter what I said or did, someone was bound to get burned. Sarah’s mood had soured over the past few weeks, her usual warmth replaced by sharp glares and clipped words. Isabelle, on the other hand, wore this perpetual mask of sweetness that was starting to feel… off. “Richard,” Sarah said one morning, her voice low but edged. She was standing by the sink, her hand gripping the counter like it was the only thing keeping her upright. “Can we talk?” I can keep count of the “can we talk?” from her.I sighed, setting my coffee down. Here we go again. “Sure. What’s wrong now?” She flinched at my tone, but her expression hardened. “It’s Isabelle. I can’t do this anymore. She’s too… involved.” “Involved?” I echoed, frowning. “She’s just trying to be helpful.” Sarah’s laugh was bitter, humorless. “Helpful? Richard, she knows things about us that we never told her. She’s

Sarah pov.I purposely did not bring up the photos that I saw in Isabelle’s belongings yet because I need to have just more than pictures to prove her wrong.At first, I convinced myself it was paranoia. After everything Richard and I had been through, wasn’t it natural to be a little on edge? But the coincidences kept piling up, each one more unsettling than the last.I sat on the edge of our bed that morning, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My hair looked dull, my skin paler than usual. I felt off—nauseous even—but I told myself it was the stress.“Sarah, you can’t keep ignoring this,” I muttered to myself, running a hand over my face. I hadn’t been sleeping well, and the tension in the house was eating away at me.When Richard appeared in the doorway, I forced a smile. “Morning,” I said, but my voice sounded weak even to me.“Morning,” he replied, leaning against the frame. “You look tired.”“Gee, thanks,” I said dryly.He chuckled softly and walked over to kiss my forehea

Richard’s POVSitting across from Isabelle in the dimly lit living room, her words lingered in the air like smoke. I don’t want to lose you too.I didn’t know how to respond. It felt like she was pouring her heart out, but the timing was strange—too convenient, too calculated. I tried to brush it off. “You’re not losing anyone, Isabelle,” I said, my tone careful. “You’ve been through a lot, I get it. But Sarah and I are here for you.” Her eyes glistened as she smiled, that same sweet, innocent smile that had started to make my stomach churn. “Thank you, Richard. That means more to me than you’ll ever know.” I nodded, standing awkwardly. “Well, uh… it’s late. Maybe you should get some rest.” She stayed seated, her gaze holding mine a beat too long. “Goodnight, Richard,” she said softly. I turned and left, but the unease followed me upstairs. ***The next morning, I found Isabelle already in the kitchen. She was humming to herself, flipping pancakes like we were in some sort

Sarah’s POVThe next morning, I sat at the kitchen table, staring at the stack of papers in front of me. My hands trembled as I picked up the tattered photo, the edges frayed like it had been carried around for years. The man and little girl in the picture didn’t look familiar at first, but the more I stared, the more the pieces clicked. The girl was Isabelle. That man—he had the same eyes as her. My stomach twisted. She’d never mentioned him, never brought up her family. Why was this photo just sitting here, out in the open like a breadcrumb she wanted me to follow again? I heard footsteps behind me and looked up to see her. Isabelle. She stood in the doorway, her head tilted slightly, a serene smile plastered on her face like she didn’t have a care in the world. “Good morning,” she said sweetly, her voice soft but somehow grating. I clenched my teeth, fighting to keep my voice steady. “Is this yours?” I held up the photo. Her smile faltered for just a second, but she reco

Sarah's POV The next morning, I sat in my car outside the house, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. The warmth of the sun streaming through the windshield felt out of place—mocking, almost. It was a new day, but the heaviness in my chest remained the same. I had gone to sleep in a hotel the previous night, you don't expect me to sleep in the same house as the guy who doesn't believe me, right?Of course, he had tried calling me, and messaging me. I had sent a message to not search for me and switched off my phone.You’re pregnant. The doctor’s words echoed in my mind, and for a moment, I felt a flutter of joy. A baby. Richard’s baby. But then the doubts and fears came rushing in. Could I bring a child into this mess? Into a home where I wasn’t even sure of my place anymore? I sighed, finally pulling myself out of the car. I had to face it. The house. Richard. Isabelle. All of it. The smell of fresh coffee hit me as I opened the doo

Richard pov.The house was too quiet. The kind of quiet that made you second-guess your decisions. Sarah had left again in a whirlwind of anger yesterday, and even though I understood why, I still felt like I’d been blindsided. She’d accused Isabelle of… what? Stalking? Manipulating? It sounded ridiculous when I thought about it.Still, I couldn’t shake the memory of Sarah’s face before she stormed out. She’d looked hurt. Betrayed. And maybe, deep down, I knew I had something to do with that.Her message about not finding her grounded me from following her, but of course, I knew where she slept, the hotel, and the room and I paid extra security to look after her.I sighed and pushed my coffee mug aside. The sun streamed through the kitchen window, casting long shadows on the table. Isabelle walked in, humming softly. She looked like she didn’t have a care in the world.“Good morning,” she said with a cheerful smile, heading straight for the kettle.I forced a nod, trying to act no

Sarah’s POV The sound of a car pulling into the driveway sent a rush of relief through me. I glanced out the window and saw Zoe stepping out, her oversized sunglasses and bright red scarf making her impossible to miss. She waved enthusiastically at me before marching toward the front door like she owned the place. When I opened the door, she didn’t waste a second. “Sarah!” she exclaimed, throwing her arms around me. “You look… exhausted. Are they stressing you out here? Should I throw hands?” I laughed despite myself. Zoe’s energy was like a much-needed breeze on a suffocatingly hot day. “You don’t know the half of it,” I said, stepping aside to let her in. She took a moment to look around, her nose wrinkling. “Nice place. But it feels like it’s got tension baked into the walls.” I shut the door, already feeling lighter with her around. “Come on, I’ll make us tea,” I said, leading her to the kitchen. Once we were seated, her vibrant personality filled the room. She didn’

Sarah’s pov.The next day, Zoe and I spoke at length, she filled me with so many details and I really yearned to visit Mexico to see things for myself. My business was booming and everything was going fine. Well, the figures were high, I've always looked at the stats here but hearing Zoe give me the live news was comforting.It provided me with the sanity I needed. We sat in the living room watching a documentary but noone of us were really watching.Martins and Richard were in the study discussing men's issues. Zara was sprawled on the couch, scrolling through her phone with a casualness that only she could manage in a moment like this. Meanwhile, Isabelle sat in the armchair by the window, her fingers tracing the edge of her mug as if lost in thought.I had the photograph in my hand, the edges worn from how often I’d held it today. My chest tightened as I stared at it one last time before speaking.“Isabelle,” I started, my voice steady. “We need to talk.”She looked up, her expr

Richard pov.The weeks that followed were like a dream, the kind of dream I never wanted to wake up from. Sarah’s recovery was nothing short of miraculous. She was her old self again—strong, radiant, and filled with the kind of joy that seemed to light up any room she entered. And our daughter? She was growing so fast, already wrapping us—and everyone else—in her tiny fingers. But the best part of it all? We were finally preparing for our wedding. Sarah wanted something small and intimate, just us and our closest family and friends. She’d always talked about having a garden wedding, surrounded by nature, with the sun setting in the background. And that’s exactly what we were going to do. The morning was a flurry of activity. Zoe was in charge of decorations, barking orders at Martins, who looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. “Martins, the flowers go on the left,” Zoe said, hands on her hips. “They look fine where they are,” Martins shot back, holding up a bouquet of

Richard pov.Weeks passed. Life felt like a blur of hospital visits, endless updates from doctors, and quiet moments spent in Sarah’s room. I was there every day, holding her hand, speaking softly to her, willing her to wake up. Zoe and Martins tried their best to keep things light whenever they visited, cracking jokes or telling stories, but even they couldn’t hide their worry. The NICU had become another constant in my life. Our daughter was thriving despite her premature birth, a tiny fighter who seemed determined to make it through. I’d visit her every evening after sitting with Sarah, watching her tiny chest rise and fall under the glow of the incubator’s lights. She was the only glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark time. “Hey, little one,” I whispered one night, my hand resting on the incubator. “Your mom’s going to wake up soon. She has to. She wouldn’t leave us like this.” It was a quiet morning when the miracle happened. I was sitting in Sarah’s room, flipping through

Richard pov.The morning of the trial felt heavy. I left the hospital earlier than usual, making sure Zoe would stay with Sarah. Despite the overwhelming dread, there was a part of me that felt strangely numb, as if my emotions had run dry after weeks of worry and anger. Martins met me outside the courthouse, impeccably dressed in his usual sharp suit. He clapped a hand on my shoulder, his touch grounding. “Today’s a big step forward,” he said. “Remember, this trial is about getting justice, not reopening wounds. You’re here to see Susan held accountable, not to punish yourself for her actions.”I nodded, though his words didn’t settle the unease churning in my gut. The courtroom was cold, and even though I’d prepared myself for this moment, seeing Susan seated across the room made my stomach twist. She didn’t look like someone riddled with guilt; she looked indifferent, like this was just another ordinary day. The prosecution opened with a detailed timeline of events, recou

Richard pov.The call from the police came just after dawn, jarring me awake in the cold, uncomfortable chair next to Sarah’s hospital bed. I fumbled with my phone, heart pounding as I stepped into the hallway to answer.“We’ve located Susan,” the officer said. “She’s in custody. We’d like you to come down to the station.”My grip tightened around the phone. The relief I felt was fleeting, quickly replaced by anger. “I’ll be there,” I said, my voice low.Zoe appeared beside me as I hung up. She had been sitting with Sarah through the night, taking turns with Martins to ensure I wasn’t alone. Her eyes were heavy with exhaustion, but her concern for Sarah mirrored my own.“Was that about Susan?” she asked.I nodded. “They’ve got her. I’m heading to the station.”“I’m coming with you,” she said firmly.“No,” I said, shaking my head. “Stay here. I need someone I trust to be with Sarah.”She hesitated, then sighed. “Fine. But keep me updated.”When I arrived at the police station, Martin

Richard pov.The cold, sterile environment of the police station did nothing to settle the unease that had been gnawing at me since Sarah’s fall. Sitting across from Isabelle in the small interrogation room only amplified it. She looked different—disheveled, almost feral—but her eyes still held that same unhinged intensity I remembered from before. Martins sat beside me, arms crossed, his body language radiating skepticism and disgust. The officer standing by the door had warned us to keep the conversation civil, but I wasn’t here to trade pleasantries. “Why, Isabelle?” My voice was steady, but my hands clenched into fists under the table. “Why did you hurt Sarah?” She tilted her head, a slow, deliberate movement that made my skin crawl. Then, she smiled—a twisted, almost childlike grin. “She wanted to take you from me,” she said, her tone eerily calm. I blinked, the sheer absurdity of her words momentarily robbing me of speech. “Take me from you? Isabelle, how many times

Richard pov.Morning came soon. The soft hum of the machines in Sarah’s room provided a false sense of calm, but every beep reminded me she was hanging on by a thread. My chest felt heavy with every passing second, waiting for her to open her eyes, to tell me everything would be okay. Zoe and Martins stayed close, their presence quiet but steady. Zoe would occasionally bring coffee or attempt to distract me with updates on the baby, but my focus stayed on Sarah.Martins had taken over the logistics—coordinating with hospital staff, keeping everyone updated, and ensuring the security team outside wasn’t slacking. It was just after 7 a.m. when my phone buzzed in my pocket, the vibration snapping me out of my daze. I saw the caller ID and immediately stepped out of the room to take the call. “This better be good,” I snapped, my voice low but sharp. “Mr. Wright,” a familiar voice responded—it was Derek, head of my security team. “We’ve apprehended Isabelle.” The words didn’t re

Richard povThe living room buzzed with life—laughter, the clinking of glasses, and warm chatter filled the air. Guests had arrived, carrying brightly wrapped gifts and wide smiles. It should have been a joyful day, a celebration of new life. But all I could feel was unease twisting in my gut like a knot that wouldn’t come undone. Martins nudged me as I stood by the window, eyes darting to the security guards stationed discreetly outside. “Hey, CIA,” he joked, his tone light. “You might wanna dial it down before Sarah figures out you’ve turned the baby shower into a covert operation.” I managed a thin smile. “Just being cautious.” Martins chuckled. “Yeah, cautious is your middle name. You’re so tense, you might scare the baby into coming early.” His humor didn’t land. I couldn’t shake the image of Sarah falling down those stairs from my mind—a thought that had no basis but still felt like an omen. Isabelle was out there. I didn’t know where, and that made her a threat.

Sarah pov.I woke up feeling like I was floating on air. Memories of last night flooded back—the soft glow of fairy lights, Richard’s face as he knelt before me, the ring that sparkled on my finger. I glanced at my hand, letting the sunlight catch the diamond, and smiled. It still felt surreal. The baby stirred, a gentle nudge reminding me she was there. “Good morning, little one,” I murmured, rubbing my belly. She responded with another kick, and my heart swelled. Today was going to be beautiful, filled with friends and laughter at the baby shower. But as I climbed out of bed and pulled on a robe, a faint unease settled in the back of my mind. Something I couldn’t quite place. When I reached the kitchen, the smell of coffee and the sound of laughter greeted me. Zoe was sitting at the counter, holding a steaming mug, while Martins leaned back in his chair, mid-joke. “Ah, our glowing bride-to-be!” Martins said with exaggerated flair, waving his hands like a magician. I roll

Richard pov.It had been a month since our trip to the nearby town. Sarah was now in her eighth month, and every day, I marveled at how gracefully she handled the ups and downs of pregnancy. But today was about more than just her strength—it was about giving her a moment to remember forever. I had planned a re-engagement surprise for her, one that would let her know how much she meant to me, now and always.“Martins, hurry up with the banner!” I called out as my best friend tried to figure out which end of the ribbon went where. He muttered something about not being a decorator, but I ignored him.The house was chaotic, but the good kind. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself as I rushed from one end of the living room to the other, adjusting balloons and making sure the decorations didn’t look like a Pinterest project gone wrong. I wanted everything to be perfect for Sarah. After everything we’d been through, she deserved that—and more.“Richard, mate, you need to chill,” Ma
