Chapter: 185- EPILOGUEONE YEAR LATER He was out. Leo couldn't believe it. After over one year, he was finally free from those walls. From the frustration that came with it.The mental, emotional and physical trauma.He had no idea how people who got out of jail still committed crimes that'd take them back to that place.Because after that experience, he didn't see himself doing anything that'd make it repeat itself.He didn't even know how he could be stupid enough to end in jail in the first place.It was there that he realized he didn't even love Lisa as much as he had thought.Yes, he loved her a lot at the time, but when she broke his heart, he was ready to move on. If he hadn't been stupid enough to listen to Cassie, he wouldn't have had to waste a whole year of his life.Now… he just wanted to start afresh.Start a new life.“Where are you going to, dressed so neatly?” His friend, Josh, who'd been nice enough to accommodate him after he got out of jail, asked when Leo walked out of his room in his

Chapter: 184“Pregnant?” The one word came out as more of a squeal. “Are you serious?” Richard jumped to his feet, voice filled with awe.Lisa nodded with a huge grin, standing at the same time Drex did. “Yup. Imogen's gonna be a big sis.”“Oh my gosh, congratulations!” I rushed over to throw her in a huge hug. “Congratulations, Liz. How long have you known?”“I literally just found out today.”“Woah. This is… This is amazing.” My lips spread to a wide smile. My sister was pregnant again. There'd be another baby in the family.I giggled. “Woah, this is such great news. I don't even know what to say.”“I'm so happy for you.” Richard appeared beside me. “This is really beautiful. It's definitely made my day.”“Mine too.” And I meant it. I loved children, and the thought of her having one made me excited.But deep down, something settled within me.A feeling.I pushed it away, not ready to let it ruin my mood.Not now.Not when Lisa was beaming so much.This was her moment. And I was going to celeb

Chapter: 183A drop of tear escaped, rolling down my cheek.I wiped it before it could reach my jaw, biting my lower lip to hold back more from spilling.This wasn't the life I'd envisioned. It wasn't how I'd expected things to be.If anyone had told me five years ago that my sister and my niece would be kidnapped or that Leo would be imprisoned for doing just that… I'd have argued.I'd have laughed with anyone that says I'll be diagnosed with cancer in just a few years.But look at it. At all that had taken place.I drew in a large amount of air, before my feet moved.I left the police station, back to my car.As I started it and drove off, I didn't look back. But I did wonder something… I wondered if there'd ever be a time I'd see him again.I knew I wasn't going to visit him any more (not after considering all he did), and our friendship was never returning.So was this the last time we'd see each other?My chest tightened, hurt by the thought alone.It was the only thing on my mind when I stee

Chapter: 182“Leo.” The word was low, barely above a whisper.I didn't know how long it had been, but this looked nothing like the man I once called my best friend.There was a different kind of hurt on his face when he stared at me, but he said nothing.I'd been preparing myself for what to say all day, but standing here… there were no words.Where do I even begin?What do I say to someone I spent five years calling my best friend.“How-How are you?” I stuttered out.He shrugged. “Existing,” then his gaze shifted to my hair and he asked, “How are you?”My hand lifted to the top of my hair as a small smile spread up my lips. “Cancer free.”His shoulders relaxed a little. Just a little, but I noticed it. “That's a relief.” And he sounded that way.Like he had spent so many hours worried about that. “Anything else?” He asked.“Well… Richard and I have gotten back together and he's quit his job to live here fully with me.”That actually made him smile. “Oh? You must be happy.”“Yeah. It's nice havin

Chapter: 181“Oh my goodness.” His hands flew to his hair, while my breath caught in my throat as I stared at the word again and again.I had to pick up the other stick, and there it was. The same word.“You're pregnant.” His voice echoed with complete disbelief. “You-You’re really… Oh my gosh.”“I…” had no idea what to say.Or how to even feel.This was my second pregnancy, and believe me when I say I was in almost as much shock as I'd been when I found out about Imogen.My hand touched my belly at the same time Drex laughed loudly, pulling me in for a big hug. “Lisa! I'm not dreaming. This is real!”I laughed as well. In fact, I laughed so hard, my eyes filled. “Yes. Yes, we're gonna have another baby.”We were going to raise another generation!After six years, I was going to give birth again!~– Rachel Red –Being cancer free was still one of the best things that had ever happened to me.Sometimes, I'd sit at home and wonder what my life would be like if things hadn't been different.If the c

Chapter: 180Pregnant? I wasn't sure, and heck, I definitely didn't want to jump into any conclusions. Still, I wouldn't act like it wasn't a possibility. Not with the late sleeping and fatigue. I didn't remember much of how I felt before I found out I was pregnant for Imogen then, but I had a little memory of being tired. My hand dragged through my hair that afternoon. I didn't even bother to finish my food, and instead left the dining area, up the stairs to the room where I changed into something better, then brushed my hair, leaving it to fall down my shoulders before I grabbed my car keys and was off. I drove to the store, bought about four pregnancy test sticks, but didn't do any when I got home. I wasn't sure what the answer would be, but I knew Drex should know. If this was negative, then okay, we move on. But if it turned out to be positive, then he had as much to do with it as I did. I could be certain my sanity was being tested each second that passed with him still not home.

His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.
"Listen, I'm tired of this marriage. We only got married because I needed a wife to secure my CEO position, and now that it's settled, you're not useful to me anymore." My husband, Dale, said to my face, nothing close to guilt flashing in his expression.
And that was when I knew... I really was nothing to him.
With tears in my eyes, I signed the divorce papers and left.
Left his house. Left his family. Left his life.
But not without a promise to myself. A promise that no matter what, I would come back. I would come back stronger.
The nobody they see me as, will come back as somebody.
Somebody they'd all need.
.......
Chloe Dave thought life loved her when she got married to Dale Beldson, the hottest man on earth and her long crush.
That was proven wrong, when what was supposed to be a happy marriage, turned to a depressing one, with a husband that rarely acknowledged her existence.
Still, she held on to the hope that if he'd chosen to marry her, there'd be something in there. Some emotions in there.
That died the moment his bestfriend, Nora framed her for laundry and attempted murder, and he chose to believe Nora over her.
Even after all her pleas, he still refused to give heed to her.
He saw her as a nobody.
His family saw her as one.
That was when Chloe vowed to come back and shock the world.
Shock Dale Beldson, her ex-husband.

Chapter: EPILOGUETHREE YEARS LATER.I finished knotting Dale’s tie that early June, then leaned close for a peck. “You did it, baby. I’m so proud of you for not giving up during the hard times.” There was a genuine smile on his face as he kissed me. “Thank you also, for keeping me motivated every time I thought about giving up.”I just patted his arm, then left to the mirror where I checked to see if the makeup was still perfect and my hair hadn’t loosened out of the bun, though that was unlikely considering the fact it was done by one of the best hairstylists and makeup artists in the US.“You look beautiful. Trust me.” Dale moved over, arms wrapping around my waist as he pulled me close. “I don’t think I can ever be more glad to celebrate this with you.”“Thanks.” With one final kiss, we both left the room, then the house to his car already parked out front.A guard opened the door with a bow, then shut it once we were in.Then, the driver started it, and with a roar, it came to life. Soon, we were

Chapter: 200“Can we go in?” Tina asked, hurriedly moving to stand in front of the doctor.He nodded. “Yes, but I’ll advise you to lower your voice. He’s just a newborn who could get sensitive to noise.” That was all he said, before he offered a bow, then walked out, followed by a few nurses who left the room after him.Dale was the first to head in, before we all tagged behind him.And there she laid. On the bed was an extremely tired looking Sophie clad in a hospital dress (I wondered how they managed to get her in those) with the cap that covered every single hair of hers, and only exposing the weariness in her expression.She looked like all she’d want is a long sleep. But even with it all, there was a tired smile on her lips and a sleeping newborn on her chest.The boy had full red hair, totally surprising me.“Oh my gosh.” Tina was the first to speak, her voice hushed as she headed over, crouching beside the bed so she was at face level with him. “Is this really my nephew?

Chapter: 199I was admiring the heart shaped diamond Dale got for me when a loud scream startled a flinch from me.No, it was so loud, I could be certain it drew the attention of everyone.My brows furrowed, confused on what was happening, and the next thing I knew, Dale was no longer in front of me.I noticed him rush over to grab Sophie before she fell.The sight made my heart jump, and I quickly headed over, just as many others did the same.Sophie was pale, gasping for air, when I heard her breathe out, “i-I think my water broke.”That alone was enough to get the crowd in a full panic mode.Heck, I found my body rummaging for what to do.It didn't matter that I could barely be of help, but nervousness crawled up my entirety as I stared at her tremble.“What’s going on?” Amber asked, just as she and Finn appeared beside me.“I think she’s in labor.” What was the use of using ‘think', when it was so damn obvious she was about to give birth.“What?” Amber quickly rushed to grab her daughter’s arm

Chapter: 198~ Sophie ~I woke up with the usual ache in my stomach. That had been happening a lot recently, and I just blamed it on being thirty three weeks pregnant.It was valentine's day, and I could hear the celebration already beginning downstairs.This was my first valentine since John's death, and a dampening fell on my mood that morning as I left to take a shower.I still missed him more than ever, but since I began therapy it had gotten a lot better.The therapist was really great, and she had perfect listening ears, always letting me cry when I needed to.Also, she always had the perfect words to say. Like, literally.And knowing that she was under an oath to not tell anyone anything made saying personal things… easier.So far, I figured I was healing.I still had nights where I'd cry myself to sleep, but my room was no longer a mess, which was pretty great.After brushing my teeth and taking a bath, I got out, then dressed in the day's theme.A red fitted gown with a white belt just ab

Chapter: 197Dale cupped my face, taking my lips in a deep kiss.He continued to kiss as hard as he could, before getting to his feet, while scooping me up so my legs were around his waist.We continued to kiss all the way till he had me laid on the bed, then his lips trailed down my body softly, earning a moan from me.Especially as he slowly stripped me off each bit of clothing, before doing the same.Once I was bare, he stared, taking me all in.My legs involuntarily opened on their own, giving him an invitation, which he gladly accepted.“Oh gosh, I can't resist you,” he breathed out, “no matter how many times we do this, it always still feels new to me and my cock.”He prowled over my body and kissed me. This time, deeply and soundly, before nuzzling my neck. An action that sent shivers dancing around my spine.“Oh Dale, I need to have sex with you right now,” I moaned out, “I don't think there's anything more relieving than to have your cock deep inside me.”He made a sound, before I felt hi

Chapter: 196He looked much older than the last time I saw him, hair disheveled like he'd ran a hand through it multiple times and was given nothing to use as a brush.I even noticed the wrinkle under his eyes as the worker led him to the chair opposite mine where he sat, not lifting his chin.“Give us privacy.” I ordered, eyes glued on him.The two men had obvious hesitance from the way they shared a look.So, I added. “He's cuffed, he can't do anything.”With a curt nod, they both left, leaving me in the room alone with him.We were both silent for a long while, before Cole finally spoke, voice devoid of emotions. “How're Emery and Donald?”“You don't get to ask about them.” I replied calmly.He didn't say anything for another moment, before, “I didn't think you'd come.”“I didn't think I would either.” For the past few days, I'd debated if to pay him a visit.Then finally decided it would be best to do so. He was once a close friend after all, if we were to end things, I'd prefer to do it in a

Chapter: 79The car came to a halt, and Reene had to draw in a breath before getting out, clutching her red bag in hand.She really didn't like that she had to be in such a place, but of course, she had to get things right with Jake.With that in mind, Reene walked into the motel. One that was very much different from other motels she'd seen.This one looked more like a low-class club, with blasting music and drunks laying unconscious everywhere.Females barely wearing anything pranced around, some twerking on men's dicks. Others smoking and drinking like this wasn't daytime.Reene just shook her head, then continued on her search for a brown haired guy.“What on earth is Jake doing in such a place?” She muttered with a head shake.Of all the places to stay, he chose an obviously extremely illegal motel.Such a shame.Reene continued walking, not at all sure where she was heading, but hoping that she'd find him soon.The place wasn't so big that he would be hard to find.Maybe she should ask arou

Chapter: 78“What do you mean by trouble?” Reene asked, brows furrowing.Nora shrugged. “I'm not sure. He just called to ask if I know about your whereabouts and I let him know you're here, but from the background noise, it seemed he'd offended someone by sleeping with their girlfriend or something like that.”Reene groaned, her hands flying to her hips. “When will that asshole learn his lesson?” She muttered, because it didn't seem like he was planning on doing so anytime soon.With a head shake, she asked, “did he say where he is?”“Nah, he just told me not to tell you about his call because he's very embarrassed and still annoyed at himself for whatever he did.” She obviously didn't care. Reene nodded, and was about to leave when she thought to ask, “if he said you shouldn't tell me anything, then why did you still talk?”“Maybe ‘cause he's my friend and I could sense he might need some help, and unlike you, I don't snatch my friend's most wanted thing.” She snapped with a huff, while Reene j

Chapter: 77Jaxon's arm wrapped around Reene's waist, pulling her to him while they both tried to catch their breaths.“It's been a while since I had such nice sex.” She admitted, her cheeks reddening on their own accord.That sight made what looked like a smile curl up his lips. “I've always had that effect.”She glanced up at him with a raised brow. “I doubt if you ever have sex. Why would any female want to sleep with a guy as creepy as you.”He smirked, his fingers moving to brush a few strands off her face. “You did.”Her cheeks further colored. “Yeah.”They were silent for a few seconds before he rose to his feet, then moved to the closet where he removed an underwear, then put that on.Reene sat up, her boobs moving with that action, but she didn't bother covering it.“Listen, I've got to head to work. I'll be back soon though, so just stay here till I'm back, okay?”She rolled her eyes. “Can't I just come along. Staying here will be boring and very tempting enough to make me want to leave

Chapter: 76Warning: This chapter will be all sexual, but nothing important will be mentioned, which means you can skip it if that doesn't go well with you. But if you won't, then don't forget to drop your comments on your thoughts and share if possible.Enjoy… 🤭🤭Jaxon grabbed her waist and pushed her against the door, earning a gasp. Her hand hit his chest, but he didn't even move. His body pressed against hers.His breath was on her face, and when he spoke, it came out as a low growl. “Did you come over knowing I won't be able to control myself?”“Jaxon…” She breathed out, body drooping with desires as she managed to open her eyes.If it wasn't for his grip, she'd probably have fallen from how shaken her legs were.“Answer me.” His hand began sliding into her trousers, but she couldn't speak, her breath stuck somewhere in her throat.Her knees shook even more, and he saw it, the side of his lips hitching up in pleasure. “You're already squeezing that hot pussy of yours,” his voice was so d

Chapter: 75Reene could feel her stomach flapping bees, but she managed to move to the couch, not bothering to take a seat, while Jaxon stared, his expression unreadable.This was so awkward for her, but he didn't even seem to feel that way one bit.What to say…?Oh no, this was starting to smell like it'd end with her embarrassing herself.“Why did you come?” Jaxon asked in the most unreadable tone ever.“I-huh, was,” No… No, you're not going to start stammering right now.Heck no you won't.It didn't help with how he stared. Like he was trying to sear holes into her forehead, and it was working.Get a grip. “I made you something.” She stretched the lunchbox, which, thankfully, drifted his eyes to that.Jaxon most certainly didn't expect that.In fact, he wasn't expecting anything from her anytime soon.After last night's kiss, he just needed time to himself.Time to think about how she was making him feel.And so he'd left to the cottage, unable to work or do anything else.But even with that

Chapter: 74Sleep and Reene became two worlds apart that night.She couldn't stop her thoughts from filling with the kiss.Why had he done it?And why had she allowed him to? She'd have used him being drunk as his excuse, but then, didn't people when tipsy, do what they'd want to do while sober?Then there comes she, who was very much sober, yet still did what she shouldn't have.Reene groaned, all that occupying her mind till the sun rose.With a sigh, she left the bed to take a shower then brushed her teeth before changing into a red tank top with blue jean trousers, and was out of the room.She paused to stare at Jaxon's door for a moment, contemplating whether or not to give it a knock.What would he say? What would she even say?‘Just wanted to check on you. Having a hangover?’Or;‘Hey, I'm here to ask what last night's kiss was all about.’Both thoughts made her cringe.It'd probably be best to just head her way.Reene left to the breakfast table, where she barely touched her food, distu
