Divorce didn't make me your ex

Divorce didn't make me your ex

**“— One year! A damn year being your wife without ever being anything to you! — I spat the words, holding back my tears with clenched teeth. — And now you think you can just… keep existing in my life? Ace looked at me with that calmness of someone who had always won without needing to fight. But this time, it wouldn’t be like that. — I never stopped you from leaving, Luna. You’re the one who kept waiting for something I never promised. — I stayed because I thought that… maybe you would see me. That at some point I’d stop being just your obligation. But it doesn’t matter anymore, I’m finally managing to forget you. He stepped closer until his warmth brushed against my body. — Then why do you still tremble when I come near? — Because you scare me… — I whispered weakly. — Is that it? Is that really it? Or is it because you know that if I touched you even once… — his voice dropped lower, hot and provoking — …you’d never be able to walk away again.” Luna Bexter had loved Ace Montesino for a long time. She thought she was lucky to become his wife in a marriage of convenience, but after the one-year term ended, Luna grew tired of waiting for Ace’s feelings to change and decided to leave. Is it truly possible for them to go their separate ways?**

Chapter: Couple 2
JOSHUAWe’ve been sitting on this bus for two hours now and I’m starting to get impatient. It’s 4:30 p.m. and the sun is going to set in about ten minutes. Apparently that fact plays an important role in our destination. Daniela hasn’t given me any other hint about where we’re going besides that.We haven’t talked much during the ride—just shared earbuds and listened to music while I watch Daniela’s reflection in the window as she reads the book she brought.— We’re here. — she says excitedly, closing her book and putting it away in her bag.— Finally. — I reply, pausing the music and taking out the earbud before putting it away and stepping off the bus.It’s cold outside and the wind feels stronger today. Good thing Daniela and I are bundled up in our jackets, gloves, and masks. I stretch my back and legs to wake my body up after sitting for so long.— We’re here?I look around—exposed brick buildings, small restaurants, and hardly anyone walking by, but nothing really stands out. I’

JOSHUA— So, what’s really going on with you, Freddie? — I ask.We’re all sitting side by side on the floor of my room, backs against the bed.I’d already talked to Anthony beforehand about bringing it up with Freddie after what happened yesterday, but in the first hour he was here we couldn’t find the right moment or the right words, so I decided to just cut to the chase.— This is about yesterday, isn’t it? — he asks, not even bothering to play dumb.— Yeah. What’s actually going on between you and Logan? — Anthony asks.— Nothing’s going on. We just… — He looks stressed and can’t even finish a sentence.— Is our question making you that uncomfortable? — I ask, honestly not expecting this kind of reaction from him.— Can you guys promise you won’t change the way you act around me if I tell you? — He sits up straighter and grabs a decorative pillow from the bed, hugging it to his lap.— Why would we change? Unless you murdered someone, I don’t see any reason we’d start treating you d

JOSHUAI shift uncomfortably on the soft beige couch, feeling out of place at Priscila’s birthday party.I was surprised, to say the least, when Daniela told me that Priscila wanted me and the guys to be here. Don’t get me wrong—Daniela’s friends are cool and… well, most of them are fine—but I don’t really consider them my friends.Besides Daniela, the only other person here I could actually see myself being friends with is Logan. The rest are nice company, but that’s about it. For example, I can’t imagine randomly texting Luna to grab coffee and have a deep conversation.Personality-wise, I don’t really click with any of them. Priscila, Luna, Kayro, and even Ryan are all way more open, loud, and extroverted than I am. I’m much quieter, I don’t like going to big parties or clubs, and I don’t talk much.So I have no idea why Priscila invited me, Freddie, and Anthony. Maybe she sees us as friends, or maybe she just enjoys our company. The only reason I’m here is because I didn’t want to

JOSHUAThe soft coconut scent enveloping my senses keeps me calm.I don’t know how long I’ve been lying here, awake, thinking about everything. I didn’t bother checking the time when I woke up. The lack of windows in this room also makes it harder for me to tell what time it is.I keep running my fingers through Daniela’s soft strands of hair while I lie awake beside her. This couch isn’t the most comfortable place to sleep, but strangely enough, I had one of the best nights of sleep in my life. I didn’t wake up once during the night, and I didn’t have any nightmares either. Actually, I didn’t dream about anything at all—and that’s exactly how I prefer it.At first, I was nervous about sharing sleeping space with Daniela, and part of me thought she might feel the same way, which is why I offered to go to another room. But deep down I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I’d probably stay up all night, tossing and turning in every possible position, trying to get comfortabl

DANIELA— Ugh, I’m so done with this. I can’t study anymore. — Ryan complains while we’re sitting in the library, working on our final assignments for this semester.The holidays came and went in the blink of an eye, and now we’re back to fearing life and questioning our decision to go to university. Maybe we should have chosen part-time studies, but whatever, we’re pushing through this year full throttle.It’s already been two weeks since we welcomed the new year, and all I’ve done is study and study even more. I have two assignments due this month; I handed one in a few days ago, and now I’m working on the last one, which is due next week.— I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with you. — Logan says, pushing his keyboard away so he can rest his head on the table.— Same here. — Freddie adds, tossing his pen onto the table and watching it roll to the edge before it falls to the floor. — This is such bullshit. — he mutters, bending down to pick it up.We had planned for eve

JOSHUAThis place is way less crowded than the last party we went to, and I already prefer this one.The music isn’t too loud, so you can actually hear the other person clearly without having to shout or speak into their ear. The lighting is low, but you can still see everything, and there are no annoying flashing lights that hurt your eyes after a while.The party is happening in one of the common areas of the student association building, so there are sofas around, two pool tables, and drinks on the side table. The sofas have been pushed back to create more space for people to dance.“So, who exactly is this party for?” I ask Daniela while she sips her orange juice.“It’s a party my class organized just for us. It’s mostly for the international students who couldn’t go home or chose to stay here, but everyone in our class is welcome and we can bring plus-ones, so that’s how we got in,” she says, looking around the place.“That’s really cool,” I murmur.“Hey, gorgeous, long time no s

Betrayed With The Best Man, Claimed By The Wolf

Betrayed With The Best Man, Claimed By The Wolf

April Glass believed she was living a fairy tale. David Lane, her best friend and fiancé, was the prototype of the perfect husband: attentive, protective, and, above all, faithful to his vow of virginity until their wedding night. But just minutes before saying "I do," the dream shattered. The sound of moans echoing from a private room in the chapel revealed the cruelest betrayal of all. David wasn’t just breaking his vows—he was with the best man! April flees, racing through the streets in her wedding dress, mascara streaming down her face and her heart in pieces. In her blind desperation, she stumbles into traffic, colliding directly with her destiny... or rather, the hood of a red car. Ryan Adams is a volunteer firefighter with a wild secret: he is a werewolf. He didn't expect a runaway bride to appear in front of him, much less that she would be his fated mate. April is wounded, suspicious, and ready to run from anyone. Ryan is willing to do whatever it takes to heal her scars. She swore never to trust a man again; he swore he would never let her escape.

MeganI see him in front of me and he looks devastated; maybe I acted selfishly, it must not be easy to say that you are a wolf. I am a damn selfish witch!"What you told me does not bother me. I was surprised that you are one, but I am scared of what you will do to me." His gaze is insecure and I know it is my fault."I will not do anything to you, angel; hurting you would be hurting myself. Ever since I discovered that you were my mate, I have done nothing but protect you. After what happened yesterday, I do not plan on letting you out of my sight, even if you do not want me around." He lets his body slide down, sitting against the wall just like I am. "I will not be like your ex-boyfriend, I plan to protect you from him.""When you asked me if I believed in the supernatural, well, I thought you had figured it out. I mean, I never imagined you would tell me that you were one. I knew you were hiding something from me, but I thought of many different things." I was so wrong. "Evan is

MeganTo say that I slept well would be a giant lie; every time I managed to fall asleep, I woke up scared, remembering the fear I felt. In each of those moments, I would look at Jack's face again, and just like that, I would calm down. I could tell on more than one occasion that his expression hardened. I know he is hiding many things from me and that worries him. If he opened up to me, I could help him.What could be so difficult to say? Although, thinking about it, if he ends up telling me he is a married man, not only would I never see him again, but for the first time in my life, I would kick someone in the balls, or well, I would try. I mean, the man kissed me and I kissed him back, and I loved it. I do not regret that, and if he were married, it would bother me a lot, but regret it? God, no.Snapping out of my thoughts, I head to the living room. I do not see him there, so I go to the kitchen and find him there. Jeans, a white t-shirt, and barefoot. Without a doubt, standing th

MeganI sat on Jack's bed, remembering all the times I had imagined myself here. Clearly, it was under different circumstances and not because of being attacked earlier in the night.When I got to the living room, I saw on their faces that they did not want me to hear something, but whether he likes it or not, Jack will have to tell me what it is. Did they catch him? No, I do not think so, or they would not hide it from me. Did he destroy Susan's house? Maybe he attacked the neighbor who got us out of there. No, I need to stop imagining things or I will end up losing my mind.I am attracted to Jack, and I know he is attracted to me, but I cannot be selfish. I must tell him the truth so he knows what he is getting into. The idea of him walking away from me after finding this out scares me a little, but sooner or later, he will know. I look toward the door and see him come in; he looks even more imposing dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Why is it that whenever we are alone, we are like t

Jack Once Megan fell asleep, I left the room and went over to Ryan, who was waiting for me outside. I needed my friend to keep me grounded so I would not go out myself to hunt down the bastard who would not stop bothering my mate. "We need to find out who he is. I want you to mobilize the guys; we will not neglect the station, but I want them fully dedicated to the investigation." I needed to find him as soon as possible; until then, I would not be at peace. "I figured you would say that, Jack. I already sent Nathan to check the house, to see what he can find. Michael and Robert went to talk to Ordoñez." "I do not understand how police negligence continues to surprise me. He broke into her house!" My voice sounds annoyed, although I am not yelling. "And they just ask her to spend the night somewhere else? That man is an idiot, and I will settle this with him later." "I think you should calm down, my friend. That is how they operate. What could you say to them?" "You do not under

Megan After giving our statements to Officer Ordoñez, we walked out to find Jeremy waiting. Susan runs and hugs him, while I stay behind, still frightened by what happened. How does a simple movie night end up at the police station? Who knows. The only thing I know is that tomorrow I will pack my things and leave Susan's house; I will not expose her to another attack. I know she will not want me to do it, but honestly, it is out of the question. The officer ordered a patrol to go check the house, but he also recommended that we not stay there. "Meg, let's go. We will stay at Jeremy's house today." "No, you go, Susan." I cannot allow her to be exposed again. "Come on, Megan, you will be safe at my house." I looked at Jeremy, who gives me a friendly smile. "No, but I would take a ride. Can you drop me off at the fire department?" "Are you going to Jack?" I nod. Even though it might not be safe for him, there are six men there who could protect me.

MeganLast night was my second date in a week with Jack. Things are on track, and calls and messages with him now occupy my time. Does everything seem to be going well? Does it scare me? Of course. I am used to evaluating everything. On one hand, I am afraid of getting hurt; a man like him would not just leave me on the floor. No, he would also walk all over me. But then I review our conversations and realize it is just my bad experiences talking. And last but not least, since it is the cherry on our cake, there is the psychopath. I should thank God that he has behaved and I pray he has forgotten me, but I know he has not, something inside me tells me so.When we arrived last night, Jack tried to kiss me. I would love to say I resisted, but no, I was open and totally willing for him to do it. But right when his mouth was inches from mine, Jeremy arrived with a Susan lost in alcohol. After that, he left while I tended to my friend, who was close to throwing up on him. I would not judge

MIRANDAI looked around before sitting down. I was tired and my back was aching. I sighed as I took off my flats. I did not let my fatigue show while Marlon talked to Juliana.I liked the party, that our second wedding was not over the top, having so few people who were our friends, but honestly, how much longer would we have to stay there? I smiled politely at Brad's mom, who waved at me.I urgently wanted to lie down and take a nap. I looked at my husband and tried to send him telepathic messages, anything that would make him look at me and realize I wanted to call it a night right there.Sleep a little and maybe only wake up when the babies are born.That would be nice.Staring incessantly at the back of Marlon's head did not work; on the contrary, he didn't even notice me.The only one who must have noticed my failed attempts to get Marlon's attention was Brad, who whispered something to him that made him look at me, and suddenly say we were going to retire.Praise the Lord!I smi

EMILE"We need to talk, please honey.... I miss you".I read the message, my throat tightened, and before my dad could notice my discomfort, I deleted Manuela's message and put my phone away...Just that message was enough to erase every feeling of peace and joy I was experiencing. I shifted uncomfortably because of that message... What does she want this time?It hasn't been long since my dad kicked her out of the house. I thought that after the Mother's Day episode she would disappear far away and forget us, but I see I was wrong. Manuela hasn't forgotten me, apparently. She still insisted on getting in touch, sending persistent messages and calling. As soon as I see her name, I hang up or delete her messages without reading them, but it seems that even making it obvious I didn't want to talk, she still persisted.A simple way to end this, to make her stop calling me, was to block her number and be done with it, but every time I go to the option to block, my breath hitches and cowar

MIRANDA"I have to give him credit, Marlon really outdid himself this time," Andreia said, putting her makeup away. I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't even bother trying to stop the smile spreading across my lips.My sister sighed behind me, also smiling, her eyes welling with tears as she evaluated her work on my hair."You look beautiful, sis," she said.I looked at her through the mirror, speechless. So many things had happened, events that for some would have destroyed the relationship and trust among family... I know what Amanda did all those months ago was wrong, but if it weren't for her mistake, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have gone on a trip to Vegas, Marlon, the love of my life, wouldn't have happened...I know destiny is written in crooked and confusing lines, but I am grateful for all the mess my life is, because it allowed me to step out of my "planned" little world that I mistakenly desired, and now I am happy with the unpredictability it has become.

MARLONI heard the sound of the car parking. A glance over my shoulder and I see my mom walking back into the foyer, her brown eyes shining with emotion as she winked conspiratorially at me before looking at Brad.I sighed nervously, wiped my sweaty hands on my pants, and walked toward the door. It was time. I positioned myself to open the door and heard Andreia's cackling."Don't worry, it is a peaceful invasion, we will only get arrested...""That is if they catch us," Fernanda hummed.I heard my wife's reprimanding tone saying emphatically that they couldn't trespass on a stranger's private property. I held back a smile that insisted on stretching my lips, put my cold hand on the doorknob, my shoulders burning under the gazes of my parents, my sister, Miranda's dad, and a very beautiful woman who had introduced herself as Stella Blum, Amanda, Brad, and his cousin.These were the first guests; the others would arrive tonight and tomorrow for my second wedding...This time with every

MIRANDA What a strange and busy day. All I know is that it was good; it was fun in ways that made me feel like the old me, who went out without a care and drank with her friend—or in this case, friends—talking nonsense and having fun. Even though the only drink to touch my lips that day was water or juice—which I confess I appreciated even more because it was delicious (the juice)—and being constantly on guard not to laugh too much or I would literally pee myself, this day surprised me in many ways. The peak was having Nanda grinding on Lorenzo, and the shocking plot twist that he was getting married and becoming a father! I cannot describe the joy I felt receiving this news. I wanted to congratulate him in person, and go immediately to crazy Nessie to give her some very important tips that would help her in the first few months. Seriously, just having someone to talk to about this torment would be wonderful, or giving her tips to use her pregnancy mood swings to enslave Lorenzo i

JOY Beers, playing cards, and snacks were freely enjoyed in the living room. I bite my lips as I hear the characteristic sound of someone puking their guts out coming from the hallway. I sighed, feeling sorry for Fernanda; the poor thing tried to enter a stupid competition with Andreia and was now dying in the bathroom. It all started when Andreia proposed a moment of fun. When she said that, Miranda visibly shuddered but shrugged when her friend pulled three bottles of vodka from her bag. Fernanda, who had her apartment invaded once again, was dragged by Andreia like a rag doll into her living room. After explaining the rules of the Never Have I Ever drinking game... And whoever had done what was said had to take a sip, to win the game they couldn't throw up the drink poured by me. Miranda and I obviously didn't participate in the game.
