Winning My Ex-Wife Back

Reeling from the shame, anger, embarrassment of his break up with the love of his life publicly, Kieran White had gotten involved with a common waitress at the pub he visited. They had hit it off and soon had a one night stand that led to them signing a contract marriage of five years so Kieran could head his family's business. What Edwina Hall had thought was a dream come true soon came shattering with a reality so blindly forced into her face when her husband asked her to sign the divorce papers he presented to her. Devastated, she had signed the papers and had left her cold-hearted ex-husband alone only to realize that she was pregnant with his son. Five years later, the duo crossed part in the most unlikely places and this time, the tables had turned as Kieran would do anything to get Edwina to notice him and most importantly, be with him again. Would Edwina continue to feign indifference to the man who had her heart and the father of her son or would she ignore him and move on with someone else?

CHAPTER 91

EDWINA

The air was filled with smoke, the acrid tang stinging my nostrils. My eyes watered from the smoke that seemed unending, my pulse thundered in my ears, drowning out all other sounds.

My breath came in short, ragged gasps, but I couldn't stop. I had to keep going. I had to save my son!

His cries floated into my ears —thin, terrified, and distant—like a bird trapped in a storm with no way out. 

"Mommy!" His voice cracked, somewhere ahead of me. I ran faster,willing my eyes to see past the smoke, but the harder I pushed forward, the farther away his voice was. 

The ground beneath my feet was soft and uneven, making me stumble, but I didn't care. I had to find him. 

Shadows flitted in my peripheral vision, too fast to see clearly. A chill raced down my spine as a laugh—low and guttural—echoed from the darkness. 

"No!" I screamed, fear clogging my throat. My voice broke as I yelled, but the wind swallowed it whole.
