Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord
"Ahh! Is that so? That explains the reason for their actions years back."
*******
Celine and Harry has been married for three years yet she was unaware of his true intentions towards her. She thought she accepted to marry Harry for the sake of her mum's medical bills and would work out the loveless marriage, however she never knew there was more, hidden under the curtain than the mere eyes could see.
To make matter worst, Harry cheated on her on their third anniversary on their matrimony bed, no remorse etched on his features, instead he presented a divorce paper and demanded she signed it and leave, not letting her go with anything she ever acquired while married to him.
Fueled by pain and a broken heart she signed the divorce and left, however she discovered she was pregnant weeks after and sought to let Harry know about it but all effort proved futile. She forged ahead, leaving everything behind but little did she know she would meet Jack, her ex-husband's rival who later became her worst nightmare.
When the environment was tense, she eloped to another country for her safety and that of her son.
Fast forward to years after, she was bk and had more affluent than anticipated.
The question remains, Will she still stick to her vow to make those who made her life a living hell, including her ex suffer, when everything was made open to her? or would her rivals have better advantages over her, seeing Harry was back for her and her son?

Chapter: Chapter 175A Blissful ForeverHarry's POVWe drove out of the mansion toward the most renowned resort in the city. My heart surged with joy and gratitude for the journey and the battles fought to reach this glorious moment of peace with Celine and my son, Henry.It was a dream come true. Deep down, I vowed never to let this opportunity slip away. This was the moment I had always envisioned, and now that it was manifesting, I was more than ready to cherish it. I resolved to make amends for all my past mistakes, creating and nurturing beautiful, lasting memories, even amidst any struggles that might come our way.“Dad, can we stop at Moore’s? I want to get my favorite candy,” Henry said, pointing toward the store on the left side of the street.“Alright, anything for you, son,” I replied, and he grinned, biting his hand playfully.“Thank you, Dad!” he cheered.

Chapter: Chapter 174The expectedA grin spread across his face as he held my hands, planting a loving kiss on them before crouching low on his knees. My heart soared once more, and this time, I was determined to give this tireless man a "yes" for his relentless efforts to win me over.“Please, my lady, will you be mine again?” he asked, his hands dipping into his pant pockets to retrieve the ring. To my amazement, his gaze remained fixed on mine.“Please, girl, forgive him and accept him back; for my sake and Henry's,” Evelyn's voice surged from behind almost immediately, and I winced.“Yes, he deserves one more chance,” Aaron added.I stayed still, determined in my thoughts, my face adorned with a grin. Finally, I whimpered,“Yes, I’ll give you another chance, to be yours again.”With a relieved smile, he hastily slid the ring onto my finger and rose to his feet.“Thank you. I promise I’ll never hurt you again,” he said, his eyes widening with sincerity.“Are you sure?” I asked, my voice trembling sligh

Chapter: Chapter 173Sorrowful momentWithout hesitation, I tapped to receive the call, my head lowered and my heart racing. By now, the applause had stopped, but Harry still remained kneeling with the ring in his hands, his face showing a mix of disappointment and uncertainty.“Hel…” I started, but his voice cut me off almost immediately.“Please, you need to come. The report is bad, and Evelyn needs you,” he asserted, and my heart sank.“Okay, I’ll be right there,” I responded. The call ended almost immediately from his end. I hurriedly lowered the phone from my ear, casting a sorry gaze at Harry.“Please, I need to leave. It’s about Evelyn,” I announced. Without glancing around at the murmurs that arose once more, I hastily addressed the team, then stormed to the car and drove off almost immediately to the hospital.Once at the hospital, I hurriedly made my way through the lobby and down the hallway leading to the maternity section. I knew she would be there. As I had suspected, I spotted Aaron speakin

Chapter: Chapter 172Two Weeks LaterCeline’s POVA lone tear dropped from my eye as I walked along the aisle toward the pavilion. My heart couldn’t stop wondering how I got here; a pathway filled with endless struggles and challenges. A path where evil loomed, but amidst the overwhelming obstacles and chaos, I succeeded, alongside the great team that stood firm with me. It felt like a dry bone coming back to life.The roaring applause of the crowd and the overwhelming feeling of having everything under control struck me with a sense of fulfillment—the kind that comes when one keeps a promise. That, I had lived to remember for seven years, ever since Dad was buried."I wish I could see him again and tell him everything is now fine and under control," I whispered in my heart, never stopping to wander through the familiar thoughts crowding my mind.The media buzzed around the hall, fixing and focusing their cameras on me. The grin on my face widened as a surge of joy erupted through me. As I climbed the pa

Is your madam at home?""Not really. She stepped out a few minutes ago. I thought you might have driven past her on your way here.""Not at all," I replied, feeling a pang of devastation. My eyes fell on the drink I held in my hands, and all the carefully rehearsed words I had practiced in the car suddenly felt meaningless."Can I leave this for her?""Not at all, sir. I think you should give it to her yourself; it would be much better," he replied. I sighed and turned to leave, my feet dragging sluggishly against the ground.Just then, a voice called out from behind."What are you doing here? I thought I told you last time not to come near us! Why are you still bent on bringing us more trouble?"I turned to meet his angry gaze. His words were far too harsh for a child his age, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that

Chapter: Chapter 170Bad OccurrenceHarry's POVIt's been a heck of an experience for me. The shock and the stigma felt increasingly heavy, almost suffocating the life out of me. I still felt as though the chains of the forbidden were caging me, weighing me down like an unbearable burden.“Boss, you need to do something before everything escalates beyond what we can handle,” Louis, who had come over, suggested with a concerned expression.I sat still, lost in thought, struggling to figure out what to do. It was fortunate that the news hadn’t picked up on this yet, but I needed Celine's help to navigate through this mess before it did. Otherwise, it would tarnish the company’s reputation irreparably. This disaster, which I had been grappling with for the past twenty-four hours, left me filled with regret. I doubted it would ever leave my mind; not now, not ever. Mom’s face still appeared before me repeatedly. The moments when she smiled, the happy times we shared; all of them taunted my heart relentlessly.

Chapter: 83: Liam 3Who could that be?I peeped through the little opening at the edge of the gate.A slender young lady, slightly above average in height, with brown skin and light-colored hair, stood before me.“Nina or whatever you call yourself, I want you to get rid of whatever is growing in your womb this minute because there is no way I’m letting you blackmail me,” Fiona snapped, her anger seething.“You lie, Fiona. You lie. I’m not getting rid of this child.”“Then get ready to face me the hard way because this child is certainly not going to stay,” Fiona snapped, her tone firm.I remained rooted, unable to comprehend anything.I tried to return to the house, but she said something striking, pinning my legs in place, eager to hear more.“You hired me to do your dirty work, and I complied. But when you realized your dirty little secrets were at risk, you couldn’t let go. You arranged for his sperm to be stored with the lab attendant; I made sure of it.

Chapter: 82: Liam 2My heart skipped.My entire body remained numb as I watched the handle, frozen in place. My plans to wait and see how everything unfolded were gradually being crushed.I flinched.Just then, the handle stopped, and I could hear Mum's voice again.Relief washed over me as I held my hands to my chest, gently heaving a sigh.I carefully and discreetly moved towards the living room, ignoring whatever Mum had left to say.I was already consumed by what I had just heard and needed to think before I acted. It sensed Fiona had every step well-prepared and planned.Once in the living room, I stumbled onto the couch, my hands clapped to my heavily breathing chest.My eyes landed on the glass of water in front of me. Fear crept over me.“What if she put something in it?” I whispered. But staring at it wasn’t going to quench my thirst.I restrained myself from taking it and slammed my arms on the armrest. If only I could remember the slightest thing, except for today, then everything would have b

But instead, she hurried toward me and pressed a warm kiss against my forehead.“Son, how are you doing?” she asked, her face lighting up with a warm smile.“I’m good, Mum,” I replied, then fixed my gaze on the briefcase and back to hers. “Mum, what are you doing with a briefcase? Are you going on vacation?” I asked, and she raised an eyebrow.Her face lit up with shock.“Son, have you forgotten I told you I was coming two days ago?” she snapped, her eyes widening.“Two days ago?” I echoed, equally surprised. I had no memory of that.“I’m sorry I didn’t call again. Your father had a slight fever, so

Chapter: 79: RealityJames POV My gaze remained fixed on hers, curiously demanding an answer.My heart raced as I dreaded the response she hadn’t given yet.Her confused yet determined expression said everything. Even without her words, I already felt a sharp pain in my heart.“Please, Olivia, tell me what the issue is. You already forgave me, and I have promised to always be honest with you from now forth. Why are you stopping the car?” I demanded desperately.It seemed like my words hit her, stirring a soft spot in her heart. She lowered her head, arms wrapped around herself.I leaned closer, resting my hands on her shoulders slightly.“I’m sorry, but I’m starting the car now,” I said boldly. But she didn’t react, didn’t say a word neither.I felt shattered, but I had to do something.I gripped the key, ready to start the engine, when her hand brushed against mine, stopping me abruptly.She looked up at me, her eyes filled with sorrow and determination.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I can’t go through

I muttered aloud, my gaze fixed on my phone.My arms slammed against the office desk, making a sharp creaking sound that echoed through the entire space.The longer I waited, the more the unease grew in my spine. Finally, the door creaked open once more, revealing no one else but James.His dazed gaze met my angry stare, and he hurried toward me.His mouth was agape, his expression perplexed.“What’s the issue? And why are you still in the office with that look on your face?”I let him speak while I watched impatiently.The veins in my body tensed, my muscles pulled tight.“How could you do such a thing? How could you?” I blurted out bitterly.He leaned forward and held my arm

Chapter: 27. Doctor StanleyStanley“Stanley,” Alora’s voice rang in my ears.A shudder ran through me. She wasn't supposed to be up now. She had still been unconscious when I left.I turned, and there she was. The white bandage wrapped around her head left part of her dark hair cascading down her shoulders. Her lips were dry, patched with misplaced lip gloss. Her shirt was rumpled, stained with blood at several visible spots. She pressed one arm against her head, her eyes narrowing, unreadable, almost hollow.The air stilled around me, coated with dread. It no longer hinted at that familiar disinfectant scent, but something darker, heavier. And for a moment, I felt really dirty… like I had dragged the darkness with me.“Ahhh… Alora. I was so scared of losing you. I thought some…” he wanted to get her arm, but she drew back.“Get your arms off me,” Alora barked in disgust, forcing her arms off Lucas's grip.My legs moved on instinct. I sank one arm onto hers while the other gently held her waist. Concern flicker

Chapter: 26. Bang!Lucas From this angle, which was much closer, I could picture his face properly, but not enough for my brain cells to travel through memory lane as flashes of the past resurfaced, yet I forced myself to shrug off it. His eyes blistered with hope and tears as he looked at Alora. Then they snapped toward my direction. Dark, unreadable, mixed with something I couldn't yet pick. Alora wasn't excluded when she turned to meet my gaze. “Please, don't say yes. I promise I will sort things out pretty soon, please don't…” I paused mid sentence, when her voice thundered. “And what rights do you have over my damn decisions? Are you that daft not to pick the signal that you shouldn't have been here?” she blurted angrily. She didn't need to remind me that I had lost all rights to her or her decisions. But was I making this any easier? I can't let her be with any else. I still wanted her. I can't live without her. Can't stand the humiliation and the thought that she accepted another man's

Chapter: 25. Another shockLucas I still couldn’t imagine that the same black SUV was the one I had seen Sonia in the previous day. The same SUV that Alora had climbed into, sliding in beside that tall man whose identity remained a mystery from this angle. But those broad, hardened shoulders, the sheer bulk of his muscles, and the neatly trimmed beard tracing his jawline up to his cheeks, meeting the perfectly curled black hair…was unmistakable. But I wasn’t yet certain. Maybe my emotions were taking a toll on me. But that car, I couldn’t be uncertain about it. Same plate number, same color, and same model. Was it a coincidence or what? There was only one way to find out. I waited until they got through with whatever conversation they were having. Every second that ticked by tore through me. Her laughter, light and thrilled, the way her lips curved at every word he spoke, the way he responded with warmth and subtle adoration, and that unmistakable spark in their eyes as they held each other’s gaze,

Chapter: 24. That momentAloraThat thought, whether I could still cling to waiting for Mike Cole; never stopped consuming me or making me weak. He hadn’t called nor texted yet, even though he was supposed to. If I hadn’t told Stanley I could handle it, maybe by now he would have settled that aspect too.I shrugged it off when Stanley mentioned one dinner party at Dairy Five Star Suites, he wanted me to attend.He finally pulled over at the company, and we exchanged brief glances before he drove off.I walked into the building elegantly. We had agreed on meeting at five p.m. at the suite.I had no clue what it was. Maybe he wanted to hang out with me? Or probably celebrate the victory?Anyways.The meeting with the stakeholders went on as planned, and the sheer thrill from some of them was not something to overlook. Some, who never even knew who I was, were finally pleased with meeting me, and the final formalities were made.After the meeting was over, I decided to meet with the directors regarding any feedb

Chapter: 23. Butterflies AloraAfter the encounter with Lucas at the company, I was already boiling by the time I returned home. So boiling that I didn't even have the decency to reply to Stanley’s countless calls.I was pissed off. And sure, maybe I should have been delighted—running around in circles, singing songs of victory because I had finally served him his own cruelty on a silver platter and tossed the plates to the dogs.But nooo…I just couldn't contain it. The rage, the bitterness that stirred in my chest, the way my arms flexed at my sides, and the way my entire body reacted violently each time I replayed the moment.I shut everyone out and slumped onto the bed. I knew I was damn wrong for not picking up Stanley’s repeated calls and for turning off the lines when they posed the slightest disturbance to me.And by the time I snapped my eyes open, it was dawn. And damn it, his face was the first thing I saw that morning. That freaking devastation in his eyes. The same grief that almost made me want

Chapter: 22. Faint glow LucasThe fabrics of her panties tore in one quick stride, and with my arms trailing on her wet, slick folds. Damn, I locked my lips. Mesmerized by her beauty. She was damn perfect even in the way her scent makes my go gaga. It was so intoxicating that I couldn't hold back as my fingers teased her, leaving another breathless whimpers that sent the feeling tripping all over every nerve ending.I wanted this. I could die in her arms. Stay there all day, and I love the fact that I made her moan out again after a long while.I wasted no time to salvage her feel before my hardened burden betrayed me. Already parting through her slip's folds and driving in, like the treacherous bastard it was.Damn. It felt divine when she gasped out loud in sheer pleasure. It rhymes with the air messing with my senses.I pulled in again and pushed deeper so she could accommodate me. She felt different, but not so different. She wasn't so tight as she always was, but whatever, I still felt awesome to be bac
