CHASING MY EX-CONTRACT WIFE
“Brent, please, I didnt cheat on you!”
“Shut up!”
Here I was begging a man who was a cheat himself— begging him to believe me and take him back.
Despite the fact that he had been the one that cheated.
But where had the compromising pictures come from?
“I can't — I can't b-believe you're choosing your ex over me, Brent! I'm your wife! Your wife!”
“Not only have you ruined my reputation, you have ruined my family's name as well. I wish I can erase you and everything we have together from my memories,” he growled at me. “You'll pay for what you've done, Priscilla. I promise you.”
“Brent, you have to believe me,” I wept, summoning up the courage to clutch at his arm but he snatched it away from me, making me fall back violently against the table.
He produced a set of papers and a pen and slammed them down onto he table.
“Divorce papers. I want them signed. Now.”

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-FourBRENT’S POVThe minute she bolted for the guest bathroom, I knew I'd caught her red handed. She didn't seem to have suspected that I was aware but I was well informed about all of her plans. It took a while for me to accept that she could do such but I wasn't going to let my woman get hurt due to my assistant's psychotic behavior. “I need everything ready.” I said to the intercom before leaving the room. I headed to my security room to watch the spy camera installed in my room. Seeing how frantic she'd been while trying to get rid of the camera she installed in my room, I guessed that would keep her hooked for the time being while I got the rest of her punishment prepared. I was yet to decide what I would do to her but torture was definitely top on my list. No one messes with me and gets away with it. She rushed back into my room and started calling out for me. When she saw that I wasn't in, she proceeded to start viciously attacking the camera like I'd predicted. My hands clen

I don't care what you have to do, take her or kill her.” I instructed my men before leaving home. Something told me to do this, just in case things try to go out of proportion. “What are we to do when we take her, ma’am?” One of the men asked. “What else? Kill her, of course. Do you think I care if she lives? The goal is to have her dead and out of my way, so you'd better do your job well.” I said and dismissed them. “Where are you going in such a frenzy? Are you okay?” Ruby asked as I threw on some clothes. My heart was in pure panic but I couldn't let that reflect on my face. “I had to be at Brent's. There's something I can't let him find.” I responded, grabbing my car keys. I sped out of the house in my car with my hands trembling on the steering wheels. “You've got this, Eve. You've got it.” I muttered to myself. The minute I pulled up to Brent's house, I rushed in without parking p

When I opened the message at first, I thought it was a random mistake from a stranger but I found the video and my heart crumbled. Tears were already gushing out of my eyes while I held my hand over my mouth to prevent my cries from making it out. His face had pleasure all over it as she bounced on his throbbing member. “How could he do this to me?” I thought, still in shock. I recalled it to have happened on the night of Evelyn's party, which means he saw her at the party and hid it from me. More tears rushed out of my eyes as I skimmed through the pictures of the pregnancy test kits. It had blue lines, meaning she was pregnant with his baby. “How could you do this to me?” I cried silently and broke down to the floor. My body shook violently with tears. My vision was clouded by the tears rushing out of my eyes but I couldn't stop myself from staring at the pictures

I paced around the room as worry and fear filled up my chest. I tried severally to reach Evelyn but her phone was surprisingly off. “Oh goodness, don't tell me I'm in this mess alone. What should I do?” I groaned loudly. I sat on the bed with my head in my hand while tears hung at the brim of my eyes. His words echoed in my head again and each time, it gave me the thought that he had found out the truth. “I can't lose like this.” I muttered knowing I was either alone at this point or dead if Brent found me. I rushed to my door and locked it tight, in fear that one of Brent's men could burst in through the door and kill me. “Calm down, Pamela. You have to think this through.” I whispered to myself again. I was losing my mind so everything felt strange to me, like I was in the middle of a burning maze with no escape route. I tried calling Evelyn again

His words felt like a soothing balm over my wounds, I smiled a little, letting myself fall for him all over again. “What's making you smile so hard?” Claire's voice appeared from the kitchen. I turned and found her smiling as well. Her hair was ruffled and she had eye bags heavy enough to hold water. She clearly eiffored a boatload of jet lag.Claire gave me a surprise yesterday by coming into New York without informing me. I had no idea that all these while she'd been claiming to be busy, she was putting things in place for her arrival in New York. “Is it who I think it is?” She asked with a bigger teasing smile. “Girl, please, I'm just trying to cook.” I refuted, despite smiling hard. “The smile on your face is saying an entirely different thing. Did he make you smile again? Or are you just obsessed with thinking about him?” She asked and I laughed. “It's either

Dominic, on the other hand, after seeing Camille realized there was trouble. He clearly didn't like the idea of seeing her in the mansion right when he wasn't in the right state of mind.However, he pushed that thought aside, fixing his focus on what he had walked in to meet."Why is no one responding?" he questioned again, looking from one person to another."I think you should ask your fiancée." Cordelia stood to her feet, looking back at Camille. "That is, if she can answer." She dared Camille lastly. And with that, she walked away, leaving them alone.Dominic watched his grandmother leave, and it was enough to let him know that something huge must have happened before he got in."Dominic, baby."Camille stood to her feet, and just as she was about to place her hands on him, he stopped her."Did you and my grandmot

Rather, she was more concerned about what she could do to take Evangeline out of the city. Or, better still, out of the world.Everything got worse when Dominic was no longer paying attention to Camille. The fear creeping through her thoughts began to play in her head. She thought of the possibility that he must have heard the news of Evangeline's return."That woman is back to take my man away from me." She could no longer remain seated, so she stood to her feet, pacing up and down the living room."She's back for revenge," Camille kept talking to herself, and no one in particular.After a while, she picked up her phone from the couch and decided to place another call to Dominic.His phone rang for over half an hour, yet there was no response from him. Camille's face tightened with a mixture of anger and silent fury.She was forced to go thro

She was actually aware of the reason he had sent the email.It was because she had been taking longer than expected to respond to their invitation letter, and now they wanted to convince her even further.But could they? Was anything they were going to say enough to change her mind? she wondered."I accept the meeting. We'll meet by 9 a.m. tomorrow. I'll send the location before then."Reluctantly, Evangeline agreed to the meeting.***********The next morning came earlier than expected. And surprisingly, Evangeline was extremely eager to meet with the lead counsel.She had chosen the location - a café trusted by many - in a quiet corner where the constant rush of traffic became nothing more than a distant hum.The polished oak tables and shelves o

Chapter: CHAPTER 13Evangeline was supposed to feel victorious and completely relieved after achieving such a great result at the courthouse. However, the case was different. Something else was pulling out the anxiety she had learned to keep locked away years ago.It was, however, another morning at her home with no cases to handle at the court.While she sat at the dining table, waiting for the cook and househelps to serve breakfast, she pulled out the file lying close to her on the table.She opened the file to read through it again as though it was the first time she was receiving it. Either way, she ended up closing the folder rather too immediately. The mere sight of the name of a family she had long tagged as her enemy provoked a negative feeling within her."Mummy, are you okay?" The voice of her son suddenly jolted her back to reality.She immediately forced a smile before looking at him."Where's your sister?" Evangeline asked, putting aside his question.

The woman had earned it. Watching her was rather a satisfying achievement.She paid close attention to the live interview of Evangeline right outside the courthouse."Attorney Hart, how does it feel to be winning another case back home?" the female reporter asked."Were you expecting Senior Advocate Rhodes to concede? Are you remaining in the country permanently?"The reporter continued firing multiple questions at the same time. It would have been an easy task for Evangeline to walk away without answering a single one.Yet, she chose to stop. Not because the attention had begun to get into her head. Rather, it was because she was smart enough to know that refusing every question would create an even bigger headline."I didn't come home to become a headline." She slowly removed her sunglasse

"From the look of things, it's going to be a long day today."She fixed her sunglasses on before taking a bold step out of her car.The courtroom buzzed with excitement and eagerness long before the proceedings officially began. Anyone could say this was just another ordinary case being heard in the courtroom.However, for those who knew the real details, they didn't move an inch until they got what they wanted. For some, it was just a picture of Evangeline, while for others, it was more than that - word from her.Right inside the courtroom, rows of polished wooden benches were packed tighter than usual. Almost all the junior associates could be seen standing shoulder to shoulder near the entrance, hoping to catch a quick glimpse of her.Everything and everywhere around the courthouse carried a distinct and unusual atmosphere, all because of a woman whose courtroom victories had

Chapter: CHAPTER 168Jocelyn’s povThe gala was brighter than ever.The light spilled from the crystal chandeliers in a long rivers across the floors. Music drifted through the ballroom. The glasses caught the glow of gold fixtures. The diamonds flashed at wrists and throats. It was the kind of night built for appearances.The kind of place where smiles were worn beautifully. Where one glance could carry more meaning than a speech. Where everyone looked beautiful and very few people were honest.The kind of place where everything once began.I stood at the top of the grand staircase for a brief moment before descending beside Daniel, and the memory of the first gala I had attended with him came back so sharply that I almost felt it physically.That night I had stood beside a stranger I was tied to by circumstance, not trust. I had worn my confidence like a borrowed jewelry.That night Daniel had been unreadable, cold, impossible to predict. He had looked perfect in every sense that mattered to people lik

The one that always reached deeper than words.Jocelyn had many expressions I had come to recognize over time. Some were sharp enough to warn me before she spoke. Some were unreadable on purpose. But this one was different and honesty from her always carried weight because she never offered it cheaply.The morning air moved quietly around us, cool and thin after the long night, and everything beyond the small space between us felt distant. Jocelyn was looking at me like the answer to something important depended on what I did next.I knew that feeling. I had caused it enough times.Too many times, if I was honest.There had been moments when I stepped close only to step back again. Moments when I let tension speak in place of truth because truth required more than I wanted to give. Moments when I hid behind sarcasm, behind timing, behind plans, behind every convenient

For a man who noticed everything, he looked strangely distant now. Not distracted in the careless sense. More like someone whose body had arrived before the rest of him.He loosened his tie with one hand and set his keys on the table without looking at where they landed. The movement was small, ordinary, but I watched it anyway.I watched everything now. The fatigue in the set of his shoulders.The tension still lingered in the way he held himself too straight.

Anyone who didn’t know her would have believed she still had her way out of the situation.I stood a few feet away and watched in silence, my hands at my sides, the night air cool against skin that still carried the heat of fear. Around us, the men moved with quiet efficiency. The doors opened and shut. But my focus stayed on Eunice not because I wanted one last look not because I needed answers. Because the endings deserved to be seen clearly.Eunice turned towards me before reaching the car. Her eyes found mine immediately. For years, that look had meant something. It had carried challenges, invitations, warnings, manipulation. There had been a time I could not separate one from the other.Now it

They sounded small in the wrecked room, almost fragile against the chaos that still lingered around us.But they were the only words I could manage.I wasn’t fine.My pulse was still racing hard enough to make my hands tremble. My knees felt weak, as if they might give out the moment I stopped leaning on something solid. My ears still rang from the gunshots, and every sharp sound in the room made my body tense before I could stop it. The smell of gunpowder clung to the air. His men were moving around us, voices low and urgent, clearing the aftermath of what had nearly become a disaster.Nothing about me was fine and yet I said it anyway.Maybe because I didn’t know how to explain what I actually felt.

But I knew her too well for that. I had spent enough years watching her turn moments to her advantage, enough years learning what she concealed and what she revealed, to recognize the smallest crack when it formed.And it formed.It was there in the way her grip shifted, in the split second where her focus scattered instead of sharpening, and in the tiny pause that should never have existed in someone like her.That was all I needed.I moved before the thought had fully finished in my mind. My body reacted faster than logic ever could, driven by something deeper than calculation and sharper than reason.Jocelyn was the only thing in my mind.I lunged forward, closing the gap with enough force that Eunice had no time to reset herself.
