Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 187
Ethan POVThe house felt too quiet tonight, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. I stood by the window, staring out into the street, where the last glow of the sun was fading from. It was getting towards evening.My mind drifted to the pile of mail sitting unopened on the dining table. With everything going on, I had avoided it for days, but there was something that had been bugging me. The letter looked really old, almost as if it had traveled through time. I was unable to shake the feeling that I should open it. I walked straight to the dining room and shuffled through the envelopes. All I came across was Bills, junk mail, more bills… and then, there it was.The letter. It was yellowed at the edges, the handwriting on the front neat but unfamiliar. It was not something that I had seen before. My name was written there, but not my address. The address was that of my parents’ old house, where I had not lived or been to in so many years. It must have been forwar

Reina POVI had a feeling something was not right with Ethan but he didn't want to talk to me. He pretended that he was okay but deep down, I knew he was not. Ethan had been acting strange for the past few days, quieter, more distant, like he was keeping something to himself that he could not share. I tried to ask him about it, tried to understand what was going on, but every time I brought it up, he would either change the subject or say it was nothing. But I knew Ethan too well. He was not himself, and it bothered me that he was shutting me out.Tonight was no different. After dinner, he became unusually quiet, barely touching his food, lost in thought. He said he was going to take care of something and left the house. His face looked pale like he was preparing something that I could not see. I watched him leave the hold and I felt uneasy.Something in my gut told me to follow him. Maybe it was the way he left without a word, or maybe it was just my own worry getting the bet

Reina’s POVMy heart raced and each beat echoing in my ears as I pressed myself against the cold, damp wall of the basement. The crashing noise from upstairs sent chills down my spine. What happened? What fell?I needed no one to tell me that I had to find Ethan. I felt a surge of panic shake me severally. The only thing I could see was the darkness of the basement that closed in around me. I could not just sit here. Not when Ethan was up there, possibly in danger.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my trembling hands. The fear of what could be happening to him spurred me into action. I had to know if he was okay, if he was even still alive or if he was the one that got hot. I crept toward the basement stairs, the wood creaking as I stepped on it. My heart felt like it would explode as I strained to listen. “Get the hell off me!” I heard a voice shout from above. It was Ethan!I could not tell if he was fighting back or if he was in trouble, but the sound of his voice pushe

ReinaThis was not over yet until it's over. I fought against the man holding me, twisting and kicking as I tried to free myself. I could see the anger burning in Ethan’s eyes, and it only fueled my determination. “Let her go!” he yelled again, his voice filled with so much rage. He looked so scared. I think he was just afraid that something might happen to me. In that moment, I felt a surge of adrenaline inside of me. I was not going to let them take him. Not now. Not ever. Not when I still have little strength inside of me. I twisted my body and slammed my heel into the second man’s shin. He yelled in pain and loosened his grip for just a second. I seized the opportunity and broke free, launching myself toward Ethan.I reached him just as the first man was about to strike again. Without thinking, I grabbed a loose piece of wood from the ground and swung it at the man, striking him across the arm.“Get away from him!” I screamed. My voice was hoarse with fury.The man staggere

Reina As we drove back toward the city, a heavy silence hung in the air. Everything was okay between us now, I think. Even at that, I could not stop my thoughts from racing like the cars we passed.Ethan was safe for now, but I knew that his problems were not over yet. I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were just beginning to scratch the surface of whatever was going on.“Where are we going?” I asked, breaking the silence, trying to check Ethan's mood.“I need to go home first. I want to make sure the house is secure,” he answered. I nodded, but worry gnawed at me. “Are you sure we should go back there? What if those men find you again?”“I have to,” he said firmly. “I need to take care of this before it gets worse. I can’t let them threaten you or our family.”His determination only made me more anxious. “Ethan, we need to talk to the police about this. This is not something you should handle alone.”He shook his head and he tightened his jaw.“No. I don’t want to drag you i

Ethan’s POV I sat across from Reina in the kitchen. I loved the warmth of her presence. It made me sane. Knowing we were in this together gave me a different kind of strength that I had never had before. I needed to protect her and our son, but I also needed to let her in. I decided not to bring up the topic of her monitoring my movement. I had given her so many reasons to worry. “First things first,” I said. “We need to figure out exactly what we are dealing with.”Reina nodded and she became more serious than before. “Agreed. What do we know about the men?”I thought for a moment, recalling the faces and the tense situation from earlier. “Not much. They seemed to be well-prepared. They knew what they were doing.”“Do you think they were here for the debt? Or your father's issue?” she asked.“Both, Most likely,” I replied, feeling my stomach churn at the thought. “I owed a lot of money that I had cleared without attracting attention. But it looks like everything backfired.”“E

ReinaThe night stretched on, and though I was exhausted, sleep felt impossible for me. Again, I was at the dining table, sitting in front with my laptop open in front of me. I scrolled through news articles, trying to find any mention of the men who had threatened us. Then, I felt Ethan’s presence beside me, his eyes were focused on the front door. “Have you found anything?” he asked, breaking the silence that was in the room. I shook my head, feeling frustrated. Everything was tiring, I had to admit. “No, nothing yet. It is like they just disappeared. But I’m not giving up.” Ethan leaned back in his chair, running a hand over his face. “You really should not be doing this, Reina. You need to rest. I worry more when I remember that you are doing this.”“I can’t rest until I know we are safe. And right now, I don’t feel safe at all,” I replied, raising my voice a little. He sighed, shifting in his seat. “You are right. I just don’t want you to get too stressed. You know that

Reina I jumped out of bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I crept to the window and peeked through the curtains. My breath caught in my throat as I saw headlights illuminating our driveway.“Ethan!” I blurted out and my pulse quickened. I rushed to the door and opened it, barely able to contain my anxiety. Ethan was standing there, looking alarmed. “What’s wrong?”“There is a car outside. I think someone is here,” I said, my voice shaky. He frowned, moving closer to me. He was unsure if what I said was true but at this point in time, he could no doubt say what I said. “Stay here. I will check it out.”“No! I want to go with you,” I insisted, my heart racing. “I won’t let you face this alone. What if it's dangerous?”“Fine, but stay close and be quiet,” he whispered to me. We moved carefully to the living room, peering out the window to get a better look. The car was parked at the end of our driveway and its headlights off now. “Who is it?” I asked, straining to see through th

ReinaThe house was silent, save for the occasional ticking of the clock on the living room wall. Ethan had once again left without a word, and it was already past midnight. My heart ached, and the silence felt suffocating. I could not sit still anymore. My mind was racing with every worst-case scenario. Where was he? Who was he with?Celia’s words echoed in my head. “If he can stay out all night, why can’t you? You need to breathe too, Reina. Come with me. Let’s go out, let loose. Maybe seeing you have fun will remind him what he is losing.”“I can't believe he is doing this to me. Celia. He is acting all tough and hard towards me. I hate that he is making me feel this way,” I complained.“Look, Reina. If I were you, I wouldn't bother myself about him anymore. He is not a serious man. How can a man who has a child behave that way? Are you sure he is not sleeping around with different women?” She asked and my heart kept pounding against my chest. “He has cheated on me before, Celi

ReinaI don't understand love.At the beginning, it makes you feel all good as if that was the only thing that mattered at some point. It makes you feel like you don't want it to end but then, when everything goes wrong. Your world comes crashing down.Was this how mine was going to be for the rest of my life? I know that I was still as attractive as hell but would I be able to find a man who would get married to me at this age?I might find a good number that would satisfy me in bed and make me a baby mama but I doubt if any of them would want to get married to me. I sighed loudly as the clock ticked endlessly. Each passing second felt like a hammer to my chest. Ethan had been gone for three days. Three days of unanswered calls, ignored texts, and sleepless nights. I could not focus on anything else. Not work, not Andrew, not anything. The house felt empty without him. It was cold and lifeless.Tonight, though, something felt different. There was tension in the air. It was a diff

ReinaThat was a big flop. Ethan just told me all of that to make me feel better, I guess. It looked like forgiveness was far from him at this point. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, searching for the woman Ethan once loved.I looked the same, but everything felt different. The cracks in my marriage were now wide, and no matter how hard I tried to patch them, they just kept spreading.I had no idea what to do. My marriage since day one has not been all rosey. Now, it was worse. Were there not women having it good in their marriages? Why was mine different?I pressed my palms against the table, taking a shaky breath. This could not be the end. I would not let it be. I was not going to lose my family because of a silly mistake. I heard Ethan’s footsteps downstairs. The sound of his footsteps on the floor was heavy and loud and it felt like he did it deliberately. Every time he moved around the house, I felt the tension in the air. It was thick and suffocating. He had been di

ReinaI had made terrible decisions in my entire life on earth and this is definitely one of them. I paced back and forth in the living room with my hands trembling. The weight of what I had done pressed heavily on my chest. Ehan’s words from earlier echoed in my head: "You made your choice, Reina." His voice was cold and broken. I had never seen him like that, never felt this level of dread.I was feeling this guilty even though I thought I was repaying him back in his own coin. I mean, he cheated on me. The pictures were sent to me. Everyone knows that I am a wife to a cheat and he came in here and acted normal. I sank onto the couch, burying my face in my hands. How did it get this far? I knew I had crossed a line, but at the time, I justified it as harmless. It was not like I was having an affair, at least not in the traditional sense. But now, looking back, I knew better. Emotional infidelity was just as damaging. Maybe worse. My phone buzzed on the table. I hesitated, afr

Ethan’s POVI sat in the car for a long time, just staring at the dashboard. My knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel too hard, and my chest felt tight, like I could not catch my breath. My phone buzzed again on the passenger seat, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at it. Not now.I already knew what I would see.I was heartbroken from seeing those messages. I could still hear her voice in my head, laughing at something I didn’t understand.I thought I was going crazy when I first noticed how much she smiled at her phone. How often she stepped out of the room to take calls. I brushed it off, told myself I was just thinking too much. But then I saw them.They are being Flirtatious, playful, and secretive. Words that used to be ours, now shared with someone else. And the worst part? It wasn’t just any man.It was Chris.Chris, a man who she told me started to work with her in the office. Chris, who had just been around her for a few months. Now, suddenly he has beco
Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 258
Reina’s POVAfter we had gone through the most difficult phrase in life, I was beginning to feel normal again and here is the secret. I had met Chris. I didn’t mean for this to happen. It was not supposed to go beyond the occasional text, a little harmless conversation to get me through the day. But somewhere along the line, it changed. It was the way Chris listened, really listened to me. Not just nodding absentmindedly while scrolling through his phone or waiting for his turn to speak. He heard every word, every sigh that I made And he remembered them. Ethan used to be like that, once. Before the late nights, the business deals, the stupid quarrels we had created and the endless distance between us. I tried to pretend it didn’t bother me, but deep down, I was starving for attention. For someone to see me again.And I was trying to play the good woman here but he went outside to cheat on me. He may think I have forgotten, but I haven't. I'm going to have my revenge.And guess w

Reina's POVI sat on the edge of the couch, the recording playing in my hands for the tenth time. Leonard’s voice could be heard loudly through the speakers, it was smug and unapologetic and each word was just like a dagger.Ethan was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed tightly and his teeth sinking into his lips. He had decided to honor my request and he was back home, finally. I hated the tension between us. It was unbearable. We had not spoken more than a few words since he had come over after my call. Even now, his silence was deafening, and his gaze burned into me every time I hit replay.“We have everything we need,” I said finally, breaking the silence and my voice sounded weak because of how exhausted I was.Ethan let out a sharp breath, running his hand through his hair. “Do we?” His tone was cold, distant. “Leonard is smart. He will find a way to twist this, just like he twisted everything else.”“And what do you suggest we do? Sit here and let him ruin our l

Reina's POVThe headline on every phone screamed louder than the voice inside my head. “Popular billionaire Couple had been Torn Apart. Mrs. Reina Moves Out Amid Cheating Scandal.” The accompanying photos were me walking out of our home with sunglasses hiding my swollen eyes, and Ethan looking disheveled as he left his office. This had gone viral within hours.I slammed my laptop shut and buried my face in my hands. The walls of the hotel room felt suffocating, even though it was one of the nicest in the city. It was ironic how luxurious surroundings did nothing to dull the ache in my chest.The ring on my finger caught the dim light, as if mocking me. I had never taken it off, not even during the worst fights, but now it felt like I should pull it off and throw it in the bin. “Mrs. Reina, the car is ready,” the voice of the hotel concierge crackled through the phone.I sighed. “I will be right down. Give me some minutes. ”Work was supposed to be my escape. It was a way for me
Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 255
Reina Again, our meeting ended in a deadlock. I was slowly giving up on what was happening in my life. Since I could not get Leonard to change his mind towards me and Ethan, I might as well wait for him to pounce on me like a thief.If he needed me so badly in his life, he might prefer to dance with my corpse. I was in the middle of sorting fabric samples in my home office when my phone buzzed on the desk. The persistent vibration told me it was not just a regular notification. Nowadays, I have been getting a lot of calls and notifications from random people that hearing my phone buzz or ring gave me anxiety. Hesitantly, I picked it up and saw dozens of missed calls and texts. My heart sank as I opened the first message from an unknown number. "Saw the photos. So much for loyalty, huh?"This unknown number has sworn never to let me be. I anticipated the next thing that he had to tell me even though it hurts me. Photos? My pulse quickened. I tapped on a link someone had sent, a
