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? My goodness, he

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: 178I'd gone there searching for answers.I don't know what I'd been expecting, but a different kind of irritation filled my being.The moment I got into my car and shut the door, the anger shifted.It shifted to hurt.I couldn't help but imagine how much she'd have had to suffer.Trish was terrible, and if there was one thing she liked, then it was making people's lives miserable.She would've made my mom's life as terrible as she could.She'd have done and said things she shouldn't.She'd have made my mom feel less of herself.I wished my mom had stood her ground. I wished she'd snapped back, not allowed them to treat her how they did… I wished she'd let them know that they couldn't try any kind of trash with her.But she didn't.My face buried in my palms. She endured it all… “because of me.”This was messed up.Completely messed up.A small sigh left my lips, and I stayed in that position for a few more minutes.When I finally stared up, I caught his figure.Standing in the distance,

Chapter: 177“Do you really want to talk about this now?” He asked, still rubbing his arm.I raised my brow even higher. “Yes,” then my arms folded across my chest, “Why? You don't want to tell me how you killed her and lied to me for so many years?”His eyes widened at the accusation. “What? No. No, I didn't kill her. I promise.”“Well…?”He bit his lower lip for a second. “Well, Trish wasn't too happy with Sarah living here as you'd expect, and since our marriage was still kind of fresh, I liked to do all she asked.”I almost rolled my eyes, because heck he never stopped. “Okay?”“So I didn't really argue about how she treated Sarah, and then one day, she… she slept and that was it.”My breath held and I was sure he did too. The words were followed by silence.A very thick one. “I'm so sorry, Lisa.” He finally broke it, but I couldn't snap back to earth. “I've felt so bad ever since.”“What on earth?” I shook my head, still trying to understand. “My mom slept and didn't wake up?”He nodded onc

Chapter: 176His eyes were wide, clearly not expecting to see me.“Do you plan on making me stand out here forever?” I asked, snapping him out of whatever world he had been in.“Oh, sorry. Come in.” His voice was a little guarded, and it reflected on his look when I stepped inside. “Is everything alright? Did Cassie do anything from jail?”“I'm not here because of her.”“Oh?” He raised a brow. “I don't suppose you're here to greet me.”I almost laughed. “I'm here to ask about someone.”“Someone?”I nodded once. “My mother.”The surprise was clear in his expression. We barely ever talked about my mom when I still lived with him and it had been so many years since I brought her up.But I wanted to know the truth.Twenty eight years and I still didn't know about my mom.That had to change today.David was going to speak, when a voice cut him off. “What's going on here?”We both turned to where Trish was walking down the stairs.The moment she spotted me, her expression twisted.“You.” The one word wa

Chapter: 175– Lisa Red –“Morning, babe.” Drex greeted with a stretch, pushing himself up to a sitting position.“Hey.” I moved over to press a short kiss on his lips, ruffling his already rough hair.He looked like one who'd had a good night's sleep, which wasn't a surprise considering how great things had been going for him at the moment. Especially in his business.His eyes dragged down my dressing, and he smiled. “You heading to Rachel's?”My shoulders lifted in a shrug.It still felt a little unreal that she was no longer battling with cancer.These few months had to be the most terrifying for me, having to watch my sister go through that.Every day since I found out, I'd visit her. Even now that she was alright again, I still ensured to go see her. Even if it was just for a few minutes a day.Drex had been with me through it all. He'd been a shoulder I cried on, and an ear that listened to every of my fear.We even prayed together once in a while, and I couldn't be more grateful to have him

Chapter: 174“One night when I was one, she had spent the entire day working and was exhausted. Her body aching from all the times she had to carry me.” I continued, sitting straighter when he did the same.“As she was walking, she passed out. When she woke up, she was in a luxurious mansion, the room alone as big as Cassie's parents house.” I remembered how she'd explained that part so detailed, and how I'd laughed.“Turns out, David had seen her faint and took her to his house. I have no idea why he chose his house and not the hospital like a normal man should,” but then again, what did I know about romance?Richard chortled, clearly very interested.“A nurse took care of her, and then he had a driver send her home.” I shook my head. “Trish had tasted luxury for a moment, and wanted more. So she researched this guy, then spent the next eight weeks passing around his company's building, just so she could meet him by 'coincidence'" I air quotes the last word.“Are you serious?”“Yeah.” I laughed w

Chapter: 173“What on earth are you doing here?” I snapped, walking over to grab my son off her lap. “Rick, haven't I told you not to talk to strangers?”Trish stared wide-eyed at my head as she stood. “Stop being dramatic, okay? And why am I just learning that you had cancer for months?”My brows furrowed. “How the hell do you know that?”“Is that really the important thing right now?”“Yes. Yes, it is.” My voice was sharp, irritation crawling up my skin, because after everything, I really didn't need her spoiling the mood.Richard walked out of the kitchen just then and the guilty look on his face answered my question.“You didn't tell her, did you?” My voice was gritted.“She asked how you've been, and I—”“Richard! This woman was the reason we fought the last time, are you really asking for another month of silence or what?” I had to draw in a breath as my fingers curled tightly.Rick was here.I couldn't lose my cool with him here.“Come on, baby,” I lifted my son in my arms, “let's go anywhe

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
