BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 63. Nothing That Connects Us
Pepper POVIt was a while before Jessie showed up.She emerged from the camper truck and walked toward us.“Thank you.” I blurted out my heartfelt thanks when Jessie joined our circle, and was rewarded with a simple smile from her.Victor’s eyes connecting with mine made me want to sink through a hole in my embarrassment.I didn’t expect the outcome of Jessie’s visit.It left me with shame when I made a ruckus about Jessie’s appearance at our home earlier.Imagine a talent of her caliber humbly knocking on our doorstep, minus the air and the pomp that usually follow success?I resented her appearance this morning. Period.But what she did to my little girl, making her smile nonstop, feeling good about herself, and confident about her own beauty, made me want to hug the hairstylist tight.I stopped controlling myself and let my feelings do the talking for me. I stepped forward a little to wrap my arms around Jessie McQueen like it has meant to do all along.“Thank you. You did not know
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 62. Just a Matter of Time
Pepper POVThe angry retort got stuck in my throat when I heard Erin’s happy voice, calling for Victor, but what shook me to the core was her choice of reference in addressing him.Gone was Mr. Victor when she called out to get his attention. A new name replaced it. Something more personal, and what Victor had been hoping for since he met the kids weeks ago.“Daddy!”That one word made me choke back a sob.No one forced Althea to recognize him as her father. The name came out of her own volition.In truth, I was still expecting Althea to call Victor by his name, with an added "Mr." at the beginning to show some respect, but calling him "Daddy" stumped me.It was too soon.Or maybe not, I averred as I watched my smiling daughter.I turned my head to the side to check Victor’s face for his reaction, but he was already crossing the lawn with urgency on his feet. His chest puffed up with pride.Anyone looking could feel the intensity of his reaction while he gazed at his daughter.He st
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 61. Lash Out at Him
Pepper POVI woke up to the loud banging on my door.At first, I wanted to ignore it as I hugged a pillow to my chest.“It’s too early,” I called out to whoever was at the door, hinting at my displeasure at being woken up too early.My body has its own clock, and it knows when to wake up. But right now, it says it was still too early.Then, I heard the children’s voices.“Mommy! Wake up!”The alarm in Asher’s voice tipped me off that something was not right.Even the urgency in the way they bang on my door leaves me with apprehension.With sleep discarded, I instantly became alert.I rushed out the bed and ran toward the door to unlock it.On the opposite side, the sight of the triplets in their pajamas, hair disheveled as if they just got out of bed in a hurry, made me frown in confusion.“Mommy!” The triplets cried in unison.Then, they began to talk simultaneously.My head began to pound as I tried to decipher their words, but I could not make heads or tails of it.It was as if
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 60. I Want to Make My Children Happy
Victor POV“Whoa!” I grunted, taken aback as I pressed the doorbell, and it opened immediately.I did not have to wait long. It was flung wide open as if someone couldn’t wait for my arrival.It gave me immense satisfaction to know that they are expecting me.But the greeting died in my throat when I saw Pepper’s reaction when she saw me.She greeted me with her eyes flashing in anger.Her glare was so intense that I instinctively stepped back, but it did nothing to shield me from the force of her anger. Pepper’s eyes locked onto mine, sharp and unyielding.Her greeting left me stumped.
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 59. Ready to Tear Me Apart
Victor POV“Bye, Mr. Victor!” The triplets chorused when I bid them goodnight.Pepper walked me out of the children’s room.She let me lead the way as we navigated the narrow hallway to wind down the stairs.We passed by the main living room until we reached the main door.“Will the four of you be alright, here?” I asked, sounding very much concerned.I did not hide from Pepper that I was worried about leaving the four of them, but Pepper dismissed it.“Have you forgotten? I knew how to defend myself and the children if needed.” She told me smugly, and as an afterthought, she informed me that Shan will be coming later.“Shan lives with us now.” She added as if the information would assuage my worries.I nodded, not wanting to make a fuss, but I could not help myself.In recent months, Pepper had become a public figure. Her foundation, The Women Project, had been noticed by the media, and she had been in the constant spotlight because of it.“You should hire bodyguards,” I told her.Th
BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE Chapter 58. Keep My Word
Victor POV“Mr. Victor, can you tie my hair, please?” Althea approached me with a scrunchie tucked between the pads of her index finger and thumb.She had just taken her shower and emerged from the mini walk-in closet that was hers alone.I stopped the grimace that wanted to erupt on my face when I heard her address me.If it were me, I would have preferred for Althea to call me 'Daddy'.“It’s too soon,” Pepper said earlier when she noticed the expression on my face every time the children would address me as Mr. Victor.It sounded weird to my ears. My children treat me like a neighbor they met on the road.“The kids need time to adjust.” Her words reverberated in my ears.Of course, I cannot force them to be ready.All I have to do is wait.At least, there were small concessions like this.I took the scrunchie from her, glanced around until I found the pink vanity dresser in the far corner—clearly hers—then spotted a canister filled with combs and hair brushes.Crossing to the dresse
