• Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 57_ Annoyed

  ~Avery~I didn’t think that Stephen would be able to pull a stunt like that in front of my daughter. That was the height of it all, I didn't want Allison to get even more attached to him than she already was. I slammed my palm on the steering in frustration. What baby was he talking about?!Everything has been so difficult for me for the past few days and it had everything to do with Scott. His cold attitude towards me was messing with my mental state. I suddenly had the thought of stopping by just to say hello or a few nice words.I know–I'm shameless and all that. I never imagined that I'd miss him so much when all I wanted in the past was to scratch off his face and chase him away from me. Now that I know the truth, the feelings I thought were buried were now resurfacing and I had no control over it.I pulled over and stepped out of my car. If I remember correctly, he will be discharged later today. There was no way he'd let me into his home to take care of him since I learnt of th

• Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 56_ Selfish

  ~Stella~I’m gonna be a little selfish and enjoy this for as much as I want. This was the longest I've ever stayed with Stephen, Although it was like one of the times I tried to pick up small fights with him so that he could pay a little attention to me. And it always worked like I wanted. But I noticed that Avery has been acting strangely lately which was stealing Stephen’s attention away from me.. One time I snuck a peek at her phone and I saw a text message on her screen saying ‘Mission successful’. I’ve never been more confused than that. Avery tells me almost every of her plans except this one.“Are you done?” Startled, I snapped out of my daze and took a glance to my side. It was Stephen. His magnetic voice took me out of my trance. How can anyone be this good looking and charming all at once? I couldn’t spot Avery around which meant that she was still up in her room.I lowered my gaze to his lips and shook my head gently. He must have caught my actions which made me pull my g

• Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 55_ Move on

  ~Avery~The fear in her eyes was real, she didn't appear to be lying or bluffing either. But why will they go after her? She doesn't have enemies like me. My thoughts were spiralling as I paced around trying to understand who was after me.This was clearly a strategy to lure me out and they won't stop until they've gotten what they wanted. This was in fact the first time Stephen and Stella were together and they weren't about to tear each other apart. I guess that was a good start to become friends?“The plan was to kill me! If not, they wouldn't have fired that gun..I feel so scared to be all alone” Inhaling sharply, I approached the two who were sitting side by side. Stella had a thick white towel around her and a cup of warm tea to keep her stable. According to her, she couldn't stop shivering knowing she almost lost her life for no good reason at all.“Relax, no one will get you in here. I'll ask the servants to prepare the guest room for you. No one leave this house until we k

• Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 54_ Losing side

  ~Stephen~I don’t care what exactly Avery says, I could see that she was already thinking about Scott so much and if her thoughts weren’t controlled, she might start having thoughts about them going back to each other.Losing wasn’t an option to me at all. And that was the reason that I came looking for him in the hospital. He wasn’t the first person to be shot so why was he acting all mighty about it? No one even asked him to take a bullet for Avery, all that was just his own choice.As expected of him, he already placed two bodyguards in front of the ward which was a good choice to keep Avery from going in whenever she came by. The two guards stared down at me with a questioning gaze.“I need to speak with him urgently”To my amazement, they both blocked my path to stop me from going in. I’m not about to back down now, that punk in there deserved to hear a word or two from me before I left. It hurt me to do this but I was left with no other option. “Come on guys! This is about his d

• Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 53_ Lucky

  ~Stephen~I rushed through the hallways not minding who exactly I bumped into along the way. I was just called to inform that Avery was involved in an accident. I didn’t allow the informant to finish up with his sentence before I left everything to come to the hospital.I stopped in front of a door which had the exact figures the front desk had told me. Without wasting a second longer my frame burst in through the door panting slightly. The room contained at least five people, two being policemen and the other a sketch artist and then a doctor and a nurse. Avery was seated on the bed and she looked fine except the small paraffin gauze dressing by the side of her head.“No, I didn’t get a look at his face because he was putting on a black mask to hide his face”“Avery!” The men paved the way for me as I approached the bed in hurried steps. Once I was closer, I engulfed her in a tight embrace without giving her a chance to react, her body froze up the moment that I hugged her. Pullin

• Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 52_ Elimination 2

  ~Avery~ Once it hit twelve on dot, I picked up my purse rushing to the door. I already made plans for lunch today, though it’s a really bad idea but there’s no harm in trying.Few minutes later I was at a restaurant where I ordered two takeouts. After I picked my orders I left for my car and started driving to my final destination. All the way there, my heart kept on pounding hard with many what ifs going in and out of my thoughts. All those thoughts didn’t stop me at all, I finally arrived at the hospital. Yes! I was here to meet Scott again. I owe him all of these and I'll keep appearing in his life until he has fully recovered.His mother’s words haunted me all through the night and I wanted to pro
