Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband novel Chapter 133

133 Third Wish 

(Jayden) 

It’s been a few days now, I think, and I’m floating in this haze, caught between the world of the living and the depths of my mind. I can’t move, can’t speak, but I can hear Winona’s voice, a lifeline pulling me 

toward the surface. 

Her voice is my anchor, keeping me grounded. 

Every day, Winona sits beside me, her words like a soothing balm to my soul. I hear her telling me about Abby, how she brings her in for an hour each day. 

Her voice is filled with love and excitement, painting a picture of a future I desperately want to be a part 

1. of. 

“Jayden, Abby is doing so well. She’s been so brave. I can’t wait for you to see her again. We’re planning a little surprise for you when you wake up. 

” 

Her words are like a melody, each note striking a chord deep within me, echoing through the fog in my mind. I want to reach out, to hold her, to tell her I’m still here, fighting to come back to them. 

She tells me about Phillip, how he’s finally moved out and is ready to sign himself off Abby’s birth 

certificate. 

“He’s even going to go out on a date with Lisa. Can you believe that?” She laughs softly, the sound beautiful. “It’s strange because Phillip is living with Lance, but I wish them luck.” 

Hearing about Phillip and Lisa makes me want to hit Lance up the side of the head. He’s letting Lisa go?! guess he’ll always be a bachelor. 

Winona continues, her voice filled with warmth and hope, wrapping around me like a blanket. 

“Your mother has been amazing, Jayden. She’s been so supportive with Abby. They’ve bonded so much, and she’s really stepped up. It’s like she’s finally seeing what really matters.” 

All I know is I don’t want her near me right now. 

There’s a softness in her tone when she talks about my mother, a hint of forgiveness and understanding that surprises me. If she knew what I’d remembered, I’m sure she wouldn’t feel the same. 

Winona is excited, genuinely excited about our future together. “We can finally be a family, Jayden. You, me, and our miracle baby, Abby. Without interference from anyone. We can have the life we’ve always dreamed of. Abby will have Grandma Judy and Nanny Anne.” 

Her words sink deep into my heart, nudging at the dark shadow lurking at the edges of my consciousness. 

The memory of my mother, saying she staged our car accident years ago. The realization that she was willing to risk my life, to get rid of Winona, 

I want to tell Winona about what I remembered when I was shot. But then I hesitate. Should I rock the boat and burst her bubble? She’s so happy, so hopeful about our future. 

Maybe it would be better to let it go, to focus on the good and finally be that perfect family she envisions.

The internal struggle is fierce. I will confront Mother, to demand answers and make her face the consequences of her actions. To make her see how this is unacceptable and that she and I will never be 

the same.. 

But another part of me just wants to give Winona the peaceful family she craves for Abby. 

Winona’s voice breaks through my thoughts, “I love you, Jayden. We’re going to get through this, together. I believe in us, in our love: Hurry up and wake up, sleepyhead.” 

Her plea reaches into the deepest parts of my soul, pulling me towards her. I can feel her love, her unwavering faith in us. I want to be awake and love her. To cash in my final wish and propose to her again. 

For a final, forever, time. 

I try to open my eyes, to let her know I’m here with her, fighting to come back. My eyelids feel heavy, like they’re weighted down with lead. 

But I focus on her voice, on the love she’s pouring into every word as she chats like we’re sitting across 

the kitchen counter from each other. 

Slowly, painfully, I manage to lift my eyelids. It’s bright and blurry at first, but then I see her outline. I can’t focus but I know it’s Winona. 

My eyelids close again. I can’t stop them. 

I try again to open them. I think they moved but I still can’t see any light.
