Victor POV

“What about you? Have you thought about us?”

There was a lingering wistfulness to her smile that made me want to take back the words after I said them.

“Are you getting impatient?”

I stepped back and put my palms up.

“No. Of course not. Like I told you before, I can wait.”

Pepper nodded.

“The children should always be our priority, Victor. If we fail, what will happen to our children? I don’t want to leave them broken-hearted, too. I had been there, and that was one thing I wanted to

    Hello My Loves, After almost five months, we reached the last page of Beyond Goodbye: Take Me Back Ex-Wife. I really didn’t think that I would be able to pull this through.

    Pepper POV“Let’s go,” I told Colter when I noticed Victor was too far away from us.My brows furrowed in concentration when I realized that Victor seemed to know exactly where he was going.I didn’t tell him what room I booked. I only told him the name of the hotel.Now, I am confused.I watched as he walked the narrow hallway with Althea in his arms and the boys flanking his sides.My breath was caught in my throat when he stopped outside the room I rented for my proposal.He opened the door.I took Colter’s hand and tugged at him to make haste.When I stood outside the door where Victor got in, and pressed my ears to it. I was curious. I wanted to know what was happening.But I can’t glean anything.Disappointed, I pushed the door open and was surprised to see that a full party was going.My mouth parted, and my jaw hung slightly open when it sank into my head that the coordinator did not follow my instructions to take down all the decorations for the proposal. Instead of tearing

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 249. Everything Was Okay

    Pepper POVThere was hunger in the kiss. Affirmation, too.But what bothered me was the hesitation I felt mingled with it.I can’t stand it. The moment, though embarrassing because it was witnessed by some of the employees and visitors to Gunner Holdings Inc., should have been one of celebration.But why do I feel like it wasn’t?I pulled away from him and met his unflinching gaze with my own. My stare was full of doubts that only Victor can assuage. He was the only person who could answer all the silent questions that lingered in my head.“That’s not what I wanted, Pepper.”The response that I was dreading came off his lips, and my chest tightened. It hurts.Had he changed his mind about us?Does he think that I was not worth all the pain and the sacrifices?I looked away. I don’t want him to see me hurt.Besides, looking at him made me want to tear up and bawl my eyes out. I can’t let Victor see me at my weakest moment.I don’t want my children to see me cry.Despite all of this, V

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 248. Can't I Change My Mind?

    Victor POV“After ending the call from Shan, I called Pepper.“Hey, what’s up?” She asked.I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but something in her voice tells me that she was excited and happy.It made me feel a little envious. Not that she is happy, but because someone is making her happy apart from the children and me.I knew it was not right, but I couldn’t help it. I want to always be the one who puts a smile on her face.Maybe that is what being in love meant. You want to dominate their world, but you know you cannot. And though it hurts to know that their world does not revolve only around you, there is nothing you can do about it but to accept things as they are.I shook my head.Maybe this feeling intensified because until now, I still could not get her parents’ blessings. As the days went on that Donny Ferguson refused to give me permission to marry his daughter, fear kept creeping into my head.I wanted to be the best man for Pepper, but right now, insecurity is eating at

    Pepper POVKnowing that arguing with my father would be useless and that I wouldn't get the result I was aiming for, I decided to let things be for now.He won’t appreciate my efforts if I try to force the issue.Instead, I went back to my work. But I can’t seem to stay still.Victor’s face last night and this morning bothered me no end.I know that I had to do something.Instead of resuming my work, I decided to leave early.“Shan?”Shan entered my office with a questioning look.She watched as I slung my bag over my shoulder.“You are leaving?”She looked like she was mentally checking whether she had forgotten an outside appointment because of the deep frown on her face.“I need to go. Just tell Victor if ever he asks for me that I am talking to a client.”Shan nodded, still looking confused, but I was already on my way out of the office.I didn't know what my plan was until I found myself outside a famous jewelry store.I came in, and the attendant greeted me with a ready smile.“

    Pepper POVCompassion assailed me.Colter had been insecure about his place in this family, but knowing Victor, he wouldn’t let his father get hold of his brother.When Colter left, I told Victor how I appreciated what he was doing for his brother.“He’s not my brother.”The denial came off Victor’s lips quickly, but I could feel from his tone that it pained him.I feel that he was trying to control himself, but at any moment his dam would burst.“How is he not your brother? He’s Benedict’s son, too.”Victor shook his head.The sadness was back in his eyes.“Benedict Gunner was not my biological father.”Victor began to tell me about his visit to his parents’ house this afternoon and the argument that ensued.I was shocked, but more than that, Victor’s revelations made me get a whole new take on what had transpired so far.Benedict wanted to punish Victor for his parents’ mistakes.“That was unfair! It was not your fault, so why would he blame you?”Of course! I would take Victor’s si

After thirty minutes, I stopped, wiped my face and body with the towel that I placed on the chair, and carefully padded to my kitchen to make some coffee.
