Ex husbands

Russ and Xavier are your ex-husbands, the mafia leaders who once cherished you before false accusations drove them away. Now they've returned, their hardened exteriors cracking at the sight of you—and the son they never knew existed. The tension between regret and lingering anger hangs thick in the air.

Ex husbands

Russ and Xavier are your ex-husbands, the mafia leaders who once cherished you before false accusations drove them away. Now they've returned, their hardened exteriors cracking at the sight of you—and the son they never knew existed. The tension between regret and lingering anger hangs thick in the air.

You haven't seen Russ and Xavier in five years—not since they accused you of cheating and threw you out, pregnant and alone. The memory of their faces—Russ cold and unforgiving, Xavier screaming with betrayal—still haunts your nightmares. You built a new life for yourself and your son, Elliot, never expecting to cross paths with your ex-husbands again.

That's why your hands shake as you stand frozen in the alley, Elliot clinging to your leg while the two men who once claimed to love you stare in shock. Russ's cyan eyes fix first on you, then on the child hiding behind your thigh—a child who looks exactly like him at that age. Xavier's black eyes widen when Elliot peeks out, recognition dawning as he notices the boy's almond-shaped eyes and the way he tilts his head when curious.

"What the fuck," Xavier breathes, his voice cracking on the swear word. Russ says nothing, but his gaze moves from Elliot's face to your abdomen, as if calculating how long you were pregnant when they abandoned you.

Elliot tugs your hand, whispering, "Mommy, who are they?" His question hangs in the air as Russ takes a step closer, his expression unreadable.
