Pepper POV

I thought that was the end of it.

I thought I already made it clear to Victor that he can’t do anything to make me change my mind about remarrying him.

A chuckle escaped my lips.

“Marry him?” I snorted when Shan and I retreated inside my room.

The children were already asleep, and Samuel had already left, but Shan stayed at my request.

I needed to vent out.

I needed Shan to listen.

And that’s what she did.

“The nerve of the guy to ask me to marry him again? Didn’t he have a screw loose somewhere?”

“He must be delusional to think that I would remarry him! I already escaped a worthless marriage, why would I want to move back in?”

I kept pacing the floor while Shan followed my movements with my eyes.

“He already made his choice six years ago. I, too, made mine. We can no longer unravel the past just because of a whim.” I was shaking my head, too shaken by the words I heard out of Victor’s mouth.

If he had said that six years ago, maybe I would have stayed. But he show

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 161. Nobody

    Pepper POVI had been hearing a commotion outside Victor’s suite and ignored it at first. But when it persisted, my forehead creased. I found it odd that the security team allowed it.This is a hospital. Any type of noise was never encouraged in deference to the sick people needing rest.The racket continued for a while. An argument ensued, prodding me to investigate.My gaze shifted to Victor’s sleeping form, thankful that the noise failed to disrupt his sleep.He took a nap after the children left, but it had taken him longer.I did not want to wake him up when his body needed the rest to recuperate.The faint sounds from outside grew.When I could not resist the curiosity anymore, I left the bed and went to the door to open a crack and inquire.“Pepper!” Victor’s mother, Emily Gunner, spotted me outright, forcing me to open the door a little wider.I got out and closed the door behind me while Victor’s mother eyed me with disdain.Hearing my name, the two bodyguards turned around,

    Pepper POVWhen the laughter died down, the two boys rushed toward the bed and raced to see who would reach their father first.A flicker of confusion stirred in me when I noticed Althea holding back, her small frame rigid as her brothers darted forward.My heart sank—I had expected her to be first, barreling toward us with her usual exuberance. Instead, she hesitated, half-shrouded in the shadow of the doorway.When I checked on her, her bottom lip was protruding, and the tip of her nose turned red.She sniffed.“Thea,” I asked in concern, and that is when the dam burst.Althea wailed—a raw, aching sound. "I thought you were going to die just like Shelly’s Mommy and Daddy!" Her stark honesty startled me, making my heart lurch as I turned to Shan.She shook her head and mouthed, “I will tell you later.”But even without knowing the details, I already had an idea of what had happened.I looked worriedly at Althea and at Shelly, who automatically stepped closer to Shan and gripped the h

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 159. You Are Alive and I am so Happy

    Pepper POVVictor grunted in his sleep, and I was already leaning toward him, wanting to know what was wrong or if it hurt.The anesthesia must have worn off, and he was now feeling the pain.“Are you alright?” I asked, but the only thing that greeted me was silence.Victor was still asleep.My eyes were trained on him. I don’t want to shift my gaze elsewhere, even when the doctor assured me that he would be fine.“He needed to rest and recuperate.” I was advised.I looked at the expanse of his suite and sighed.I miss the triplets.Though Shan already updated me about them, it was not enough. I still want to see them and be comforted by the sight of them.But I could not call the house and check on them.I looked at the time.Calling them at this hour would disrupt their sleep.Besides, I don’t want them to know what happened to their father.They might worry. They only had Victor for a short while. I don’t want them to think that.. I shook my head, not wanting to think the unthinka

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 158. Not All Experiences Are The Same

    Shan POVJust like last night, I responded enthusiastically to his kiss.I tiptoed and wrapped my arms tightly around Samuel’s neck.He laughed when he realized that I didn't want to let go, and I let him have his moment of amusement.Since last night, I already knew. Samuel had already won me over, fair and square.His laughter died down, and to my horror, he began to cough.“You’re choking me,” he sputtered, making me let go, embarrassed.“Sorry. I got carried away.”He smiled while massaging his neck.“No harm done,” he said, linking our hands.“Let’s go. The children are waiting.”I was about to follow him out when I realized I hadn’t updated Pepper about the kids.Samuel stopped and waited while I walked back to the night table to snatch my phone.“One minute,” I said, quickly searching for Pepper's number.I put the phone on speaker mode.“Who are you calling?” He asked when he heard a ring.“Pepper. I wanted to update her about the children.”Samuel took my phone. His fingers

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 157. Good Morning, Love

    Shan POVI did not know how long Samuel had been gone before I roused myself from a seeming daze and walked to the bathroom to prepare for bed.Though I am suffering from se*ual frustration, my chest welled with pride for my man.Samuel is proving himself not only to me, but to his daughter.Every time I think about the words he said earlier, an electric thrill shoots through my spine to finally settle my stomach.I love him.I am now confident to say it out loud. It dimmed for a while due to a lack of reciprocation, but now that Samuel has confessed to his growing feelings, I am excited to see what the future holds for me, Samuel, and our daughter.I giggled and rolled in my bed when I thought about his promise.What surprise would await me tomorrow?That was the last thing on my mind until sleep claimed me.“Should we wake Auntie Shannie? She looks tired. See? Her mouth hangs open?” From my sleep-foggy brain, I heard little voices and giggles.“But Daddy said we have to wake her up

  • BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE    Chapter 156. What You Mean to Me

    Shan POVI wanted to stomp my foot in frustration.He had been teasing me all night, only to drop me without the slightest inkling.I worried it was too soon, yet deep down, I was ready for whatever would happen. My mind and my body are primed for it.I want him. I wanted Samuel.Unfortunately, he chose to act chivalrous tonight.He was denying himself, and in the process, he was denying me.The gratification I was sure would be our ending tonight did not happen, much to my consternation and disappointment.“I hate you, Samuel,” I muttered under my breath. My feet were heavy as I trudged my way inside my usual room, but before I could take another step, I felt a hand grasp my wrist to pull me around.I landed on Samuel’s hard chest with an oomph.Without warning, Samuel grabbed my chin, tilted my face up, and smashed his mouth to my suddenly quivering lips.It was electric. The kiss left me breathless, and if it weren't for the need for air, I wouldn’t have pushed at Samuel’s chest to
