Semua Bab The Club Star Ex-Wife He Wants Back: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Mandy’s POVThe weight of the silence in the room was unbearable. I could barely hear myself think over the pounding of my heart, and the nagging fear that had been gnawing at me since the attack felt like it was crawling under my skin, threatening to suffocate me. I held Emily close, her tiny body trembling in my arms as she clutched her stuffed bear, her innocent face a mirror of the confusion and fear that had invaded our lives in the blink of an eye. My baby didn’t understand any of this, didn’t understand the gravity of what was happening. But I did. I could feel the tension building in the air, every moment stretching longer than the last. Lucas hadn’t said much since we entered the safe house, his jaw clenched tight as if holding onto something volatile inside. I knew him well enough by now to know that whatever was on his mind was something he was trying to keep buried. I wanted to reach out to him, wanted to tell him that it was okay—that we were going to get through thi

Mandy’s POVMy pulse hammered in my chest, each beat louder than the last. The phone call that had just come through shattered the fragile calm we had. Lucas’s grip on the phone was tight, his knuckles white as he listened to the voice on the other end.His face, already pale, went even grayer with each passing second.I stood frozen, too afraid to ask, too terrified to even breathe. What had just happened? Who was on the other side of that call? And what did they want?I had never seen Lucas like this before—completely still, barely moving, as if every ounce of his energy was being drained away by whatever was being said. His eyes, which had once held so much fire and determination, were now clouded with fear. The kind of fear I’d seen only once before—when he’d thought he was going to lose everything.I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came. I needed to know what was going on. I needed to know if Emily was safe. I needed to know if I could even trust Lucas to get her back.B

Lucas’s POVThe world shattered.The explosion sent shockwaves through the air, a deafening roar that drowned out everything else. For a moment, time felt like it stopped. My body was slammed back, the force knocking the air out of my lungs. My vision blurred, the room spinning as smoke and debris filled the space around me. I didn’t know what happened. All I could hear was ringing in my ears and the frantic pulse of my heartbeat. The floor beneath me was suddenly uneven, and I felt a sharp pain in my side as I hit the ground.“Mandy!” I tried to scream, but my voice barely made it past the haze of pain and shock.I pushed myself up, hands shaking, my mind reeling as the dust cleared. My ears were still ringing, but I could see Mandy. She was a few feet away, her body crumpled on the floor, unmoving. Panic surged through me, clawing at my chest as I struggled to my feet.“Mandy!” I yelled again, stumbling toward her. My legs felt like they were made of jelly, but I didn’t care. I

Mandy’s POVI woke to the sound of my heartbeat in my ears. My head was heavy, my thoughts a tangled mess of confusion and fear. I tried to open my eyes, but the world felt like it was spinning, like the ground beneath me was moving, shifting with every passing second.Where was I? What had happened?My body ached, every muscle stiff and sore, but there was something even worse than that—something deeper that gnawed at me. The fear that had settled in the pit of my stomach wasn’t just for myself. It was for Lucas. It was for Emily.Emily...I gasped, my eyes snapping open at the thought of her. Panic surged through me, flooding every inch of my body. What happened to her? Was she... was she okay?I tried to sit up, but everything felt off. My surroundings were unfamiliar, and it took me a moment to realize that I wasn’t in the building anymore. The sounds of destruction, of the crumbling walls and the explosion, were gone. Replaced by... silence.But it wasn’t a peaceful silence. I

Mandy’s POVDarkness wrapped around me, thick and suffocating. It was pulling me under, deeper and deeper, but somewhere through the haze, I heard a voice. Familiar. Desperate. “…Mandy, please.” I wanted to respond, to tell Lucas that I was here, that I could hear him, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. Everything hurt. My chest felt heavy, like I was being crushed under the weight of something unseen. Was I dying? No. I couldn’t. Not when Emily needed me. Not when Lucas was calling my name like his entire world was breaking apart. I tried to force my eyes open, but my lashes felt like they were glued shut and my body refused to move, every limb numb and detached from me. Panic crawled up my throat. Was this what it felt like to be slipping away? No. I wouldn’t let it happen. I couldn’t let it happen. I had to fight. With everything I had left, I forced my fingers to twitch, a small movement, barely noticeable, but it was something. Then I felt it—warm, stro
