When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 308

Mamie jolted awake, heart pounding, sweat soaking her pajamas. She hadn’t slept with Scott tonight. Instead, she was curled up next to Garth, hoping her presence would help him rest easy. But now her own peace was shattered. The dream still clung to her, sharp and vivid, and this time, someone new had appeared—Vince, Scott’s old coworker.

In the dream, Vince stood across from her, colder than she’d ever seen him. His voice was icy as he said, “Who told you to break up? Don’t you want your mom to get her new heart? Who else can find you a match besides me?”

Dream Mamie was paralyzed, desperate, begging him not to do this. Vince just stared back, unmoved. “You chose to end things. That means your mom will never get her heart.”

Mamie snapped awake so suddenly she startled Garth beside her.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” he asked, his little face scrunched with concern.

Mamie took a deep breath and tried to steady herself. “It’s nothing, sweetheart. Just a bad dream. I’m sorry I woke you.”

Garth shook his head and scooted closer. “It’s okay. Don’t be scared, Mom. If you hold me while you sleep, you won’t have any more nightmares.”

Right then, all that fear and anxiety melted away. Something warm and steady filled her chest—a kind of fierce, protective love. She wrapped Garth in her arms and whispered, “Thank you, baby. Let’s go back to sleep. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight, Mom!” Garth murmured, already drifting off again.

The next morning, Mamie could still picture every detail of that nightmare. This time, she couldn’t just brush it off as a random bad dream. It felt too real, too pointed. Just like before, when she’d dreamed about breaking up with Scott and woke up to that strange text message. Now she was sure—it had to be Vince.

She didn’t want to worry Scott, so she slipped out quietly and visited a private investigator. Josh and Claire had always said her parents died in a car accident, but Vince’s obsession with the heart transplant made her wonder if there was more to the story. It couldn’t just be a coincidence. Determination burned in her chest. She had to find out the truth, no matter what she uncovered.
