BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 42. I am Sorry for Hurting You
Victor POVPepper shook her head in a desperate attempt to belie my claim, but I knew with certainty that she was lying.In three strides, I was in front of her.“The triplets are mine. My men had the evidence to prove it.” “No,” Pepper said, shaking her head. She took a step back, eyes welling with tears. She had her hands clenched into fists, chin jutting out in protest.But I could feel from her reaction that I hit the truth. Despite what I knew, Pepper was desperately trying to deny it to me until now. That’s how my ex-wife hated me, I thought bitterly. She would rather have our children not know about me.A sadness coursed through my veins at the helplessness of my situation.Nevertheless, I would never be where I am now if I didn’t have the mettle to prove that I was worth all the things I fought for.Pepper should know that I could not let her win.Not when the stakes are high. “Let’s do a DNA test, then.” I challenged Pepper to cut the pregnant silence that descended upo
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 41. They are Mine
Victor POVSpell awkward.That is how I felt as I watched Pepper’s children get cozy with Samuel Burke in her living room.Pepper stepped out of the living room for a while, leaving me with Samuel and the triplets.“Why are you with him, Daddy?” I heard Althea ask Samuel before sliding me a haughty glare.I smiled to myself when my gaze fixed on her.She was talking into his ear. Her little palms covered her mouth, but her voice was loud enough for me to hear.“You are spying on me!” She called me out on my eavesdropping.I raised my palms up in surrender and s
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 40. Emotions in Shambles
“Mommy, wake up!” I felt a nudge on my shoulders, and little fingers pried my eyes open, but I couldn't do that.My eyes were heavy with sleep.“What do you think is wrong with her?” I heard an exasperated sigh while the bed bounced on a weight.“Maybe it was the flowers?”“No! Not the flowers!” A protest came from a girly voice, and I knew it was Althea.“Should I call Dr. Alan?” A boy’s voice suggested.“No! Call Daddy!” Althea interjected.“We don’t have a Daddy!” I think it was Aaron who said it.“I have a Daddy. His name is Samuel.” Althea insisted, her voice breaking at the end.“He’s not our Daddy, Althea. We don’t have a Daddy!” Asher seconded.By this time, I heard a whimper and knew Althea was about to cry.That caused an alarm in my head.“No! Doctor! No, Daddy!” I said in a raspy voice, and shut my eyes hard before opening them again.I tried to focus my eyes and see double because three heads were leaning close to my head, breathing, watching what’s going to happen next.
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 39. I Want Out
Shan POVThe tears that I kept forcing to hold back could no longer be contained when I plopped on the back passenger seat of the cab."Where to miss?" The driver asked.I told him by address, but when the car pulled up outside the building's entrance, I saw Sam's car parked there. The crazy, hopelessly in love with Sam part of me jumped with excitement at seeing him there, but the pained part of me, the one that wanted to be loved just as I deserved to be loved, wanted to escape. For a split second, indecision marred my face.I sighed and tapped the driver’s shoulders. "Can you send me to the nearest hotel?" The driver nodded. He backed the car, and within seconds, we were back on the road. I saw Sam watching the car's movement. His head panned to the right with a frown while he tried to look past the heavily tinted windows. I was glad he did not recognize the cab I jumped into earlier. At least, I can leave in peace. But I know that no place can give me peace until I settle m
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 38. Blast From the Past
Pepper POVI stared at Victor long and hard, unable to digest what he was trying to say. However hard I tried to absorb the information, it wouldn’t sink in. It was too preposterous. “What do you think of me, Victor Gunner, a joke that you can discard and pick up on a whim?” I lashed out in frustration, confusion, and something else turned my insides into a muddle.I could not understand what he was doing.“If this is about control of the shares I have at Gunner Holdings, Inc., let me make this clear this early. I won’t sell my share. You can’t have it, either.” Stunned silence followed my declaration. Victor looked at me as if he were truly hurt by the assumptions I made. But I don’t care. There was a time when I did care about his feelings, but that was all gone now. The potted succulents escaped his hold, and it slid down his shirt before it crashed on the floor. It created a small thud when it landed on the floor and broke into fragments. Victor and I stared at it. His f
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 37. Final Verdict
Victor POVI watched in desperation as Pepper walked away.“Pepper, wait!” I cried, hopping on my uninjured leg, but she was faster. She skillfully moved her way around a maze of parked cars until I could not see her anymore. Miserably, I swung my uninjured leg to kick the tire of the car nearest to me in disappointment, and I jumped in surprise when it backfired, emitting a harsh alarm beeping sound. A man came charging in my direction, but a quelling look from me made him stop.“I am sorry, Victor. I thought it was a burglar out to get my car.” He apologized.I nodded, still pinning him with a glare before walking back to my car to follow Pepper, but bumped into Samuel Burke on the way.We looked at each other and sighed. “Another shot, please!” I requested the bartender and raised my empty shot glass.“Me, too!” Samuel mimicked my movements. He, too, raised his shot glass in the air and motioned for the bartender to refill his empty glass.When the waiter refilled our orders,
