Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband

2. Save Her“No, we won't lose him.” Killian held her shoulders, his hard expression melting into a tender gaze. “Always be positive, Sophia.”“But, I am positive.” The lady stared at him with wide eyes sparkling with tears. “Levi's everything I’ve got.”“I know.” Killian sighed. “He’ll be fine.”While the couple were locked in a warm embrace, the man coaxing the lady with every reassuring word, Kiara looked around her, feeling lost. She must have followed the wrong person. She must have mistaken this man for her husband. He probably shared the same resemblance with Killian, but-Who was she kidding?He was her husband. The same man whom she hadn't set eyes on for a whole month now. The man whom she'd been desperately calling on the phone.“You need to transfer him from this hospital,” he said to the lady. “Levi can't spend another night here.”They were so intimate and close that none of them noticed her presence. “Why, Killian?”“Why, Killian?”Coincidentally, Kiara's question wa

Three days had passed since the surgery. Yet Kiara still couldn’t accept it. She refused to believe that her little girl… her precious Lily… was gone. Every time she closed her eyes, she imagined her daughter’s frail little hand reaching for hers, calling her Mommy.“No, it can’t be real,” Kiara whispered, hugging her knees as she sat on the edge of her bed. Her body trembled, but she couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face. The world seemed hollow, colors drained, sounds muffled. Everything around her was meaningless without Lily.“Kiara, please. You have to eat something,” Maya urged, kneeling beside her friend. “You’re not helping anyone by hurting yourself like this.”“I… I can’t,” Kiara murmured. “If I had stayed with her, maybe… maybe she’d still be alive.” Her voice cracked, and she buried her face in her hands. “I left her alone for a second, and…”Maya’s heart ached for her friend. “It’s not your fault, Kiara. You did everything you could. You stayed with her thr

Strange how those words were coming from the same man who cheated on her.The same man who abandoned his child in illness. The man who didn't care a bit about his own family. “This is an opportunity for you to give your mistress’s son a proper surname. Aren't you happy?” She muttered.Who was he fooling?He knew what he wanted.And he knew she knew. Killian was silent for a few seconds. From the other end, only his heavy breathing resounded,A sign that he was holding back his rage. Surprisingly, when he spoke next, his tone was oddly strained. “Are you doing this because of Lily's death?”Like seriously?What woman divorced her husband simply because they'd lost a child?It didn't make any sense, did it? And he also knew that. He knew it wasn't the reason why she wanted to divorce.He knew well what prompted her decision. Was he going to continue ignoring what transpired at the hospital, pretending it didn't happen?Didn't he ever think that she deserved an explanation?“Never

The Next Morning. Kiara woke up to the heavy feeling on her chest.Her whole body ached as she sat on the bed, holding the bedsheet against her chest. Killian was long gone. The fact that the space beside her was no longer warm meant that he’d left before the dawn broke. He’d always been like that. Kiara had never, for once, woke up beside him ever since they got married. No matter how long the night was, he would be gone before she woke up. But his scent would always linger on her body, a glaring reminder of their shared intimacy.Shutting her eyes, Kiara resented herself right now.No matter how gentle or considerate Killian had been, she should never have given in. She shouldn’t have let him use her body the way he pleased.Well, last night was the last!She was never going to allow such a thing to happen between them again! Ever!“Good morning, Mrs. Reid. Breakfast is ready.” A maid came inside, struggling to hide the look of shock on her face. Everyone would have been shocke

Although Killian’s actions hurt her, Kiara no longer cared. She didn’t care about whoever he brought home. She didn’t care whether he had a thousand women outside or not. Her love for him had died from the moment she saw who he truly was. Ignoring Sophia’s presence, Kiara headed to the fridge and held the door open.“Levi loves strawberry-flavored ice-creams the most.” Sophia’s words floated to her ears. “I can’t believe Killian has already bought the recipe for us before we could even come.”Kiara knew what she was doing.She wasn’t dumb not to realize that Sophia intentionally said that to make her jealous. Besides, she’d bought and kept those recipes herself because her daughter loved strawberry-flavored ice-creams. Kiara would make one for Lily occasionally and never an out of the recipe.“Hmmm, I could have ordered the maids to buy the ice-cream from outside...” Sophia sighed. “But I’m concerned about Levi’s health. If something happens to him, Killian won’t let me rest. He’
