• Winning My Ex Wife   Chapter 29

  Edward’s povI hadn’t told Charlotte anything before stepping out of the house. But I knew that I needed to be out of here without her knowing where I was going.I was tired.Tired of her voice.Sick of the screams. I hated acting like it was okay even when it wasn’t but it wasn’t like I would do anything with her. My past with her was a bad one.I felt a sharp pain as I got into my car. I shook my head and looked at the drugs in the cup holder as I looked away.I turned the key and went to the one place that had been the very last on my list for days. The hospital.Not just any hospital. The one where my doctor, Lennox, works. After all, it was the only place I went for my treatment and he was the only doctor I’ve trusted for years. I doubted he would do anything bad to me.When I arrived at the hospital, I parked and walked in. Some of the nurses said hello. I nodded my head and didn’t speak back because I wasn’t in the mood to speak.First, I took the elevator to the third floor w

  Charlotte’s povI drove to Carmen’s school feeling good. I could feel the dress hugging my body in all the right places. I needed to look good. I didn’t know who I would meet that would take me away from Edward. I wasn’t his until he had done the bare minimum. For now, he was just the random guy who would be my backup. Until then, I would be faithful to him or whatever. It wasn’t like I had a choice.As I got out of the car, I could see so many people looking at me. But I didn’t mind. They would have to start getting used to seeing me like this.With a smile on my face, I walked into the school as people turned to me.Heads turned, and I enjoyed the attention.I reached the classroom and saw Carmen sitting quietly. She was drawing something again, probably her usual flowers. She looked happy to see me.“Mama!” she called and waved.Oh my dear. She was so precious to me. I would do anything to keep her safe.I walked in as one of the teachers stepped up to me in an aggressive way whic

  Charlotte’s pov“No, I didn’t,” he replied.“Too bad,” I said. “Because if you’re not on the case, I’ll end your career. Keep that in mind.”He glanced off for a moment and then back at me.“Playing with a man’s life,” he said. “It’s serious. He is sick, but if you keep playing with his treatment, you might kill him.”I shrugged. “Well, maybe he should have thought about that before he ignored me for years. Before he threw me away like trash.”He shook his head slowly. “This won’t end well.”I got to my feet and went over to him, close.“So what, doctor?” I repeated. “You come here to scare me? Beg me to stop?”He stared, saying nothing.“I’m not scared of you,” I whispered.He looked at me again.“I came here because you need to know one thing,” he said, slowly. “I have a line. If you cross it? I’ll talk. I’ll tell him everything.”I just laughed."I'll probably do it."I drew back from him and smiled.“Alright,” I said as I reached for a glass of juice. “You tell him first. I’m goin

  Charlotte’s povI was studying a red dress –slinky, low-cut, the sort of thing designed to fathom depths when I saw a man with a woman glancing at me.He was definitely married, conversing with a woman not his wife, helping her decide which dress to buy. I knew she wasn’t his wife–too young, too loud.Until I saw his hand.A circle.Wed.Even better. He was married.He looked up and saw me. Our eyes locked. He kept looking.I smiled.He smiled back, and then… he did something daring.He blew me a kiss. I raised an eyebrow and smirked. Bold. Very bold.I looked at the dress in my hands then back at him.He pointed towards the changing room. First curtain at the right corner. I understood.I nodded slightly.And I, myself, walking over.Waited within the changing room.It smelled of new cloth and heavy perfume. The music playing in the shop was low. My heart pounded fast, but not out of fear. Out of… excitement.I heard the sound of a curtain sliding to one side.He walked in. He did

  Edward’s povI was standing in the hallway, just outside the boardroom.My hands were on my hips. My eyes were squeezed shut. I was gritting my teeth.I still felt all the eyes of the board members burning holes in my back.I wanted to scream.She had done it again.Charlotte.How could she come into my office like that? With that goddamn outfit on. Was I as crazy?She looked liens hooker.Like she's going to a private party or something?I forced myself to open my eyes and look down at the floor. My heart was pumping, I was trying not to get excited, but I couldn't help it, my blood was too hot.I had important things to do—mergers, meetings, deadlines.But now the whole board thought I was a bad fucking joke. A man who couldn’t even deal with his own life.I heard a small voice beside me. It was my assistant, Jason.He held a file, but he seemed more nervous than he usually was."Sir, are you alright?" he asked cautiously.I didn’t reply, just shook my head and took a deep breath.

  Charlotte’s povI came back from the bar after meeting with Dr. Lennox. I was feeling good. I had done what I needed to do. He would listen to me sooner or later. He always did.But as I entered the house, my good mood quickly dropped.Edward was at the front door, already dressed for work. He was fixing his cufflinks. I saw his tie was a little crooked, so I smiled and walked closer to him.“Let me help you,” I said gently, reaching for his tie.I tried to straighten it, just like I used to. Just like a wife would.But Edward stepped back.He didn’t say a word.He didn’t even look at me.He just moved past me, opened the door, and walked out.The door closed behind him.I stood there frozen, my hand still in the air.That feeling… I hated it. Like I was invisible. Like I meant nothing.I slowly put my hand down and walked back inside. My heart was racing. Not because I loved him. No. I didn’t even know what love was anymore.But I hated being ignored.I hated being treated like I was
