BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 153. Safe All the Time
Pepper POVVictor was asleep, but I couldn’t catch a wink, even if I wanted to.“You need to rest, too, Ms. Ferguson.”“Pepper. You can call me Pepper. Ms. Ferguson is too formal.” I told Matthew, Victor’s assistant.“You need to rest, Pepper.” Matthew reiterated before gesturing his hand toward the other bed next to the one Victor was occupying.He made special arrangements with the hospital when I insisted that I was not going to leave Victor while he was out.“Mr. The gunner would want me to ensure that you are taken care of.”I nodded, but did not make a move to leave Victor’s side.My phone rings.I was surprised to note that I had several missed calls. I must be so worried about Victor that I failed to hear the ring.“Pepper, thank God you answered my call.” A worried Shan said.“Where are you? Samuel and I saw the news. Are you alright? The report said that you are the target, not Victor.”I sighed and collected myself.I leaned back on my chair. My eyes never leave Victor’s fa

Pepper POVVictor dropped to the ground. His hold on me slackened.“You are safe.” He said, smiling wanly at me.It was as if he were reporting a feat, an achievement. He took pride in what he had done.Tears blurred my vision.“Victor!” I dropped to my knees, unbothered that I was still wearing my gown from tonight’s event, and pulled his head to rest on my lap.We were just talking to the protesters one minute, and the next thing, Victor was stabbed. How our reality changed in a snap.I stared into Victor’s face. He was breathing laboriously while trying to offer me an assuring smile, but he failed. The smile became a wince.Panic rose within me.Worry pushed me to lightly press my index finger to his lips to silence him.“Don’t talk anymore! Please.” I warned softly when he began to say something.I heard the crack in my voice, and I swallowed hard to keep the tears at bay.He was breathing through his mouth and found it hard to interject a word.Victor’s security team acted quic
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 151. Unexpected Turn of Events
Pepper POV"I wanted to date you," Victor admitted when his laughter died down.A frown creased my forehead when I heard this."At this hour?" I asked in disbelief after looking at my watch. It was past midnight. Almost two in the morning.I should be tired from the event. Then, I had to rush here. Oddly enough, I didn't.Victor looked tired, but there seemed to be excitement in the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled at me."I don't want to go home yet. I want to spend alone time with you." He admitted.Truthfully, I understand how he felt because I felt the same way."The hotel is still open. We can stay for an hour or two. We don't get to have time to ourselves. We have been busy with work, and when we are at home, the kids are always with us."My eyes squinted sharply at him."Are you complaining? Your children endured four years of their lives without a father. If they tend to hog your attention, that is because they missed having a father. They made do
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 150. Never in a Competition
Pepper POVVictor's body shook while he held me in his arms.I could feel the restraint in how he held me. He was trying to control his embrace so as not to crush me.Unfortunately, it was still tight for my comfort.Besides, I still feel a little miffed.He expelled a shaky breath, dispelling all negative thoughts from my head."I am sorry about earlier. I had to go, but I kept my promise. I won you." He said smugly when I pushed at his chest because I felt drowned in his massive chest. I shook my head to belie his claim, smiling awkwardly at him.”Technically, you didn't." I corrected.Victor’s sharp intake of breath contrasted with the horror on his face.It was funny to watch his arrogance stripped from him. Slowly, a tinge of red spreads across his face in embarrassment."Jeremy won. You did not sign the pledge form before you left." My lips twitched while I explained to let the sting out.Originally, I wanted to wring Victor's neck. How can he humiliate me in front
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 149. I Have Her
Victor POVMy father quickly regained his foothold.He faced me and started to justify his actions.“She’s a trespasser. She shouldn’t be here.” He shouted, finger pointing angrily at Pepper.It almost grazed her face, so I shoved his hand off.“Touch her and you’ll regret it. Hurt her, and I will make you pack your bags this instant.” I threatened.My father shook his head, piercing me with an incredulous look.“I did not know what she did to you. You were never like this, Victor. This woman bewitched you. You had Maggie, but you threw her off.” My father said angrily.“You abandoned your family for this worthless woman!” Father spats out.I smirked.“You know that was a lie! Maggie was never my woman!”I shook my head. A mocking smile played on my lips.I can’t believe how thick-skinned my father could be. How lies could easily come out of his mouth.Until now, he had the temerity of foisting off on me the responsibility for Maggie and her son when it should have been his.But enou
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 148. What are You Doing?
Victor POV“We’ll inform you of the results, Mr. Gunner. Thank you.” The NTSB chief stood.We were in the conference room for a closed-door meeting with the NTSB, accompanied by my assistant, Matthew, head of security Ben, and legal counsel Tony Spence.They worked quickly. Immediately after the crash, they began interrogating everyone involved. Even the aircraft mechanics were investigated.My father kept calling my phone, wanting to be included in the meeting, but I did not allow him entry. I am sure by now that he was already frothing at the mouth with rage.“We can’t leave things to chance. Everyone’s a suspect until cleared,” I told Ben.The authorities already informed us that an engine malfunction was the reason for the crash.The plane had taken off from the airport when the crash happened.“Good thing we invested in pilot training. He mitigated the crash,” Tony said.Gunner Airlines’ pilots were trained best in defensive take off and landing.“Apart from bruises and damage to
