Chapter: Notice from Author Hello đ, my lovelies. I hope everyone is doing great. I am very sorry for not updating for over a month now. I hope you will all forgive me. A lot had happened. Before asking my editor to help me change the status of You Belong to Me, Ex-wife from complete to ongoing, I already had two books signed on the app. But I knew I could handle updating three books, my editor even asked me if I could handle it, and I told her yes. But things began to change, I suffered a serious relationship break up and it hit me hard, as much as I wanted to deny it. After all, the man in question was my son's dad. I came down with depression, and couldn't write at that time. My big sister, who is also a writer here, she encouraged me not to give up. So the only thing I could come up with was to focus on completing one of the books first, then I will continue with Luis and Michelle's story then the other book. I'm better now because my mother also paid me a surprise visit, and cheer me up. And also, w

Chapter: Chapter 47: I'm Lucia's mother?âJade!â âMom!â Trey and Luis exclaimed simultaneously as Trey caught her in his arms protectively. He looked at her feet and frowned; seeing how bloodstained they looked, he immediately scooped her into his arms. âWhat happened to your feet?â he asked angrily, seeing she was hurt to such an extent but didn't get it treated. âPut me down; I can walk on my own,â Martina argued, hitting him on the chest. âShut up!â Trey scolded, his jaws clenched as he walked toward a private ward with Martina in his hands. He didn't understand why Martina was acting like that. He was the one who was supposed to be angry at her for her reckless behavior tonight. But here she was, making him a scapegoat. ~~ Trey gently laid Martina on the bed the moment they entered the private ward, and the nurse stepped forward to check her. âYou can go now; Lucia needs someone with her when she's wheeled out of the emergencyâŠâ Martina didn't land when Trey cut her off.. âWhat? Lucia? What happened to Lucia?â Tre

Skip if uncomfortable. ~~~ Martina ran out of the warehouse in time to see the taillights of a car disappearing in the distance; she began running after the car barefooted. About fifteen minutes later, Martina saw the car stopped in the distance, and from the cold breeze, she realized they were at the seaside. âThey were planning to dispose of Lucia's body in the ocean.â Martina was out of breath, and her feet hurt from the debris and glass shards that had pierced them, but she refused to stop running, since any delay on her side, and those scumbags will dispose of Lucia's body. When Martina arrived at the sea cliff, the two boys had Lucia lying on a net with bricks around her as they planned to wrap her up and toss her into the sea. Fueled by an indescribable surge of anger, Martina didn't know when she swiftly reached for a brick and smashed it hard against one of the boys' heads. âWhat the hell!â the other boy exclai

Chapter: Chapter 45: I killed his daughterâŠIt was a few minutes past 11 pm when Martina arrived at the underground parking lot. Her personal bodyguard, Carlos, opened the car door for her when he saw her approaching, but Martina spoke, stopping him.âCarlos, you and the men should leave first; I will take the other car. I need some time alone.â Carlos hesitated but said anyway,âBut madam, the boss would be very angry.ââThat's his business!â Martina snapped, her emotions overwhelming her. She looked at Carlos' face and warned, âI don't need any of you secretly following me; I trust you don't want to see me provoked?âMartina asked with a curved eyebrow. Carlos nodded, and she turned, walking to the driver's side of the car, and the chauffeur respectfully stepped out. In a few seconds the car drove out of the parking lot at full speed.âDamn it!â Martina cursed as she smacked the steering wheel angrily. Tears fell down her face as she turned onto a secluded road. Her phone began to ring then, and she knew it was her husband,

Chapter: Chapter 157: Congratulations, Mr. RomanoOne week later⊠Reina, so far, was truly enjoying her honeymoon, having Xavier all to herself. There was no work and no familyâjust the two of them. And Xavier, he had been the perfect gentleman; he carried the bags whenever they went shopping, he personally fetched her dishes from the counter all the times they dined out, and even gave her massages, even after she had visited the spa. And their lovemaking sessions were on another levelâwild, passionate, and intense. When Reina woke up today, Xavier told her that he wanted to take her on an adventure. They ended up flying to a secluded island, which Reina later discovered Xavier had purchased just for her. On the island, at shore, the two made love, naked in the white sand for hours, going for a swim after each passionate and wild round. At times, Reina felt so weak in her legs she couldn't move, so Xavier would carry her. He would carry her deep into the ocean, where the waves danced playfully around them. They swam t

Even though her words said otherwise, the gleam in her eyes betrayed her excitement. âI understand; my woman is always right.â Xavier said hoarsely and placed a lingering kiss on Reina's lips. He was fucking hard; it hurts. But he was also aware of the beast he was last night. âReina deserves a break.â Xavier at the thought made to get off Reina, but she wrapped her hands around his neck, seizing him as she exclaimed shyly. âI didn't tell you to stop; I only told you I'm sore!â Xavier's lips curled into a cocky smirk as he fixed his dark eyes filled with lust and desire on Reina's face so intensely; she felt uneasy. âWhat?

Chapter: Chapter 153: Early morning workout"Do I know you?" Natalie asked, looking at Catalina's face with a confused expression, and Catalina frowned. "What? Natalie, I'm your mother. Those people have killed your brother; we have to make them pay!" Catalina said angrily, a malicious expression on her face, and Natalie shook her head in disbelief. "You will never change, right? Brother is dead because of you! You never taught him right from wrong. Since you were always jealous of your older sister, you raised brother with that jealousy! You corrupted his mind! And he grew up with that envy in his heart. You killed brother! You're a murderer! Get out of my sight; I don't want to see you ever again! I don't know you!" Natalie cried. "Natalie, don't forget I'm the only family you have left! Those people will never accept you." Catalina said arrogantly with a sneer. "If they don't accept her, I will." Vincenzo finally spoke, and Catalina turned to look at him. She scoffed and demanded, "What can a lowlife like you possibly of

Chapter: Chapter 152: I can't lose another familyCarlotta blinked, her head spinning as she tried to make out their current situation. That is when she realized she and Natalie were squeezed together. Nalatie's head hung low as blood dripped down her face, falling onto her face. Carlotta panicked when she realized she was at a disadvantage. She was below Natalie, and her side of the door was pressed to the ground. But she tried to salvage the predicament. Just then the car moved, and she heard Emilio's urgent voice. Was she delirious, or had her knight in shining armor really arrived? âEmilioâŠ? Is⊠Is that you?â Carlotta inquired, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. âWhat, Carlotta? How are you in this car?â Emilio asked, hearing Carlotta's teary voice, but mentally smacked himself and said hurriedly, âDon't worry, la mia regina, we'll get you out of there soon.â Emilio knew they had just a little time before the car exploded.

Chapter: Chapter 37Inside Aiden's dining room, Aiden looked at the face of the woman seated opposite him for the umpteenth time, and sighed deeply, putting his spoon down and focusing all his attention on her.Anna, who had her head lowered as she ate sensing Aiden's intense and piercing gaze on her, quickly reached for the glass of chilled orange juice she had requested from one the maids to take a sip to calm down her souring nerves, when Aiden spoke.âAnna, are you alright?â startled by his voice, her grip around the glass loosened, causing the juice to pour on her, and the glass dropped to the floor breaking.âAnna!â Aiden exclaimed, getting up and rushing to Anna's side. She also abruptly stood up, taking a step back and was scratched by a shard of glass, and groaned painfully. âAnna, what is wrong with you! Can't you watch where you're going?!â Aiden snapped, lifting her off the ground.Tears flooded Anna's eyes as she muttered dejectedly,âI'm sorry...ââWhat are you apologizing for? You've been

I wasn't thinking straight. I bet Aiden now sees me as some loose woman,â Anna said, her voice trembling as hot tears began to stream down her cheeks.âAnna, dear, are you crying?â Diana asked gently, concern etched across her features.âNo,â Anna lied, hastily wiping her face, b

Chapter: Chapter 35: Her guilty conscienceAnna dried her body and blow-dried her hair after slipping on one of the robes inside the bathroom. Taking in a deep breath to calm herself, she walked out and saw Aiden seated on the edge of the bed. She smiled at him when he turned to look at her. âLet me get you a dress.â Aiden said, getting up and walking into his closet, which was filled with clothes he had bought for Anna. He retrieved a nightgown and walked back into the room. As he emerged, he caught sight of how Annaâs gaze lingered on the dress. A mixture of curiosity and unspoken words reflected in her eyes, yet she remained silent. He passed it to her and informed her, âI instructed the maids to prepare a room for you, opposite mine, so I can keep tabs on you. Get change.â Anna nodded, forcing a smile as she met Aiden's gaze briefly and muttered. âThank you.â âIâm going to shower quickly. What do you want to eat?â At the mention of food, Anna heard her stomach grumble. "Oatmeal, I think,â Anna answered curtly, not

I need my own room!â Anna yelled with determination in her voice. âAnna, is there something I should know?â Aiden couldn't help but ask, seeing Anna's pale expression. "Nothing; I just need a separate room,â Anna said, and Aiden approached her. Stopping in front of her, he gently cupped her cheek and said, âIf you are worried I will have sex with you, do not worry, I won't do anything you're uncomfortable with.â But Anna shook her head, her eyes moistening as she cried out. âI'm not worried about you; it's myself I'm scared of. I'm horny, Aiden!â Anna's hand shot to her mouth, realizing what she had just said. Aiden, on the other hand, smirked, crossing his strong arms over his chest. They flexed, drawing Anna's eyes, as he questioned, âWhat's wrong with that?â âEverything is. I'm not sure what I feel towards you; I'm confused, and I don't want to do something I will later regret,â Anna confessed. âWould you allow Adrian to have sex with you if he

I meant every word I said, Anna. From tonight, this will be your home.â Aiden said, cupping her cheek as he muttered, âI love you, Anna, and I'm not taking any chances. Come, let's go inside.âAiden said, taking Anna's hand, but she recoiled from his touch as if burnt and exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotions,âNo. I want to go home; I don't want to stay here with you.â Aiden's heart wavered at her troubled expression. However, after being a mafia boss for five years, he realized if you desire something, you take it by force.âAnna, please, just come in; you will be alright,â he said, taking Anna's hand as she shook her head vigorously like that of a child refusing an

Whatâwhat⊠are you doing?â Anna stuttered, taking slow steps backward when Adrian began to stalk toward her. âI miss you, babe, and I just want to spend some quality time with you." Adrian declared and demanded, an emotion you can't decipher in his eyes. "Tell me you feel the same." âAdrian, I... you are scaring me. This is the women's restroom; why were you here? Did⊠did you come to spy on women?â Anna asked, stuttering, and Adrian frowned, his heart constricting from the pain of her words. How could she even think that of him? He wasn't a freak, and he would never stoop so low. He knew she would definitely visit the washroom; that's why he instructed his manager to vacate all the women in the washroom. Even though Adrian was hurt, he forced a laugh and asked, hurt apparent in his eyes, âIs that what you think of me?â Anna shook her head, seeing the pain in his eyes
