Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 46

Alexander POV.

“Christiana..” Daniel’s voice cracked as he said her name, and it was all I could do to keep my fists from tightening.

“Daniel.” Christiana called out, her voice weak but filled with something I couldn’t quite place. Relief? Gratitude! “I’m glad you’re here.”

She didn’t look at me. Her eyes were locked on him as if he were the only one who mattered. As if I hadn’t been standing by her side this entire time, trying to help her through this nightmare.

I swallowed hard, forcing myself to keep my mouth shut. I couldn’t afford to upset her, not now, not when she was still lying in that hospital bed with her ankle twisted and her body bruised. But it took every ounce of self–control I had to not lash out, to not tell Daniel to get the hell out of this room and away from my family.

Daniel crossed the room in a few strides, the kids still attached to him as he reached Christiana’s side. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and I could see her body relax under his touch, a small, tired smile forming on her lips.

“Thank God you’re okay,” he whispered, his voice barely audible but thick with emotion.

I felt a surge of jealousy so intense it nearly knocked the wind out of me. How could she respond to him like that? How could she just… let him be the one to comfort her when I was right here? When I had been the one trying to protect her and our kids, trying to find a way to make this right?

Christiana’s eyes flicked toward me briefly, but there was no warmth in her gaze. No acknowledgment of the turmoil brewing inside me. She was focused on Daniel, on the way he was looking at her as if she were the most precious thing in the world. And that only made my blood boil even more.
