Chasing My Ex Wife Back Chapter 8 The Shadow Upstairs
My blood turned cold. The footsteps continued.One…Two…Three…Then another.Slow enough to make me react. Whoever was out there wanted me to hear them. I froze where I stood. My breathing grew heavy as my gaze searched the darkness beyond the glass.Nothing.The figure had disappeared.bOnly the sound remained."Carl," I whispered.No answer.I reached for my phone with trembling fingers.Nothing.The line was dead. My stomach squeezed. That wasn't like him."Carl," I called again.Still nothing.A chill held me. The footsteps stopped. The silence that followed felt even worse. I stood perfectly still, straining to hear anything.Then I noticed something beneath the window. Fresh footprints.They hadn't been there before. I swallowed hard and unlocked the door. Every instinct screamed at me to stay inside. Instead, I stepped outside.The cold night air brushed against my skin.I followed the footprints with my eyes. They led away from the house...Then it suddenly ended. As if whoever
Chasing My Ex Wife Back Chapter 7 The Figure Outside
I wasn't sure if Carl was still beside me."Carl!" I shouted, surprised by how loud my voice came out.Still no answer.I shook my head and held it still, trying to focus.maybe not , I listened carefully.Nothing.The silence made me uneasy.I stepped forward cautiously trying to avoid any obstacles. My free hand rested on my stomach."Carl," I called again.Still nothing.Then a faint sound came from somewhere inside the house. I couldn't tell what it was.Slowly, I lowered my hand from my stomach and forced myself to stay still.I wanted to believe Carl had only stepped away, but judging from the sound, something didn't feel right.Then, without warning, a hand closed gently around my waist.I froze.My breath caught in my throat.For a second, I couldn't move or think. My fingers curled into my dress as every terrible possibility rushed through my mind.I wanted to turn around, but fear rooted me in place.Then I heard someone breathe behind me."Easy... it's me."Carl's voice stop
Chasing My Ex Wife Back You Can't Run Away From Us
Chapter 6 The touch of my stomach felt cold beneath my palm. My body shifted slightly, then stilled, calm like someone suddenly exposed to the open air. My hand pressed against it, shaking yet I smiled faintly.Even the touch of the doorknob Carl was holding seemed to affect me indirectly, like I was picturing the touch of the knob on my skin.Suddenly a dog barked loudly. Every step made me squeezed and I nearly dropped to the floor.Carl’s deep voice held me still, calming my tense nerves.He moved beside me, releasing the doorknob. “Fear not, Avia it’s just my dog’s way of greeting you.” I bit my lip, awkwardly trying not to show my fear not to Carl, nor to his dog nor its greeting.His hand tapped my shoulder and a shout got trapped in my throat. He glanced at me, his eyes searching for something any sign. I swallowed, lowering my head shyly.My eyes drifted to the card Carl had given me earlier, lying lazily on the table where I had dropped my things almost forgotten. I stretc
Chasing My Ex Wife Back "I'll Be Waiting For You"
Chapter 5The notification bell of my phone rings making my heart raised with a mix of fear and hope, I blinked twice, trying to stop my tears, with the bright light peeping into the glow of my phone screen. 1:15 pm. My heart raced as I read the message I've been waiting for, the words set my pulse racing” I'll be waiting for you “Everything else got blurred after reading through the message and for a moment the crowded terminal fades. It was just me, the message and the question in my chest. Am I doing the right thing? I pressed the phone towards my chest, knowing tonight would change everything.In a few hours time I'll be in the embrace of the only person who I knew still want me, my best friend, who won't dare betray me. I smiled not at my vulnerability, but to the silly things she'll have to say to me after seeing her. My lips curved, slightly faint but it was real, easing the pain I've been holding on to since Kade and my dad betrayed me. Looking at the bright faces of the p
Chasing My Ex Wife Back "He Asked For A Divorce"
Chapter four I stood in front of my father's house, the familiar mansion I'd spent most of my life in felt strange and awkward, suddenly the weight of uncertainty pressed against my chest.My mom, Linda, opened the door for me. “Avia what are you doing here?” She asked but before I could answer, the tears I've been trying to control spilled out. She hugged me with warmth and assurance. “oh, Avia, come here.”I sat down beside her, gently wiping my tears and wearing a fake smile, trying not to show my pain.“What happened?” is it a fight between you and Kade? I nodded, with my face facing down, hiding the disappointment and shame.“Why did you come here?” My father asked me while walking up to me, and I looked up meeting his gaze.I've prayed for comfort, not fire but what I'm sensing is the exact opposite. My father, Aaron, face sparkling with fury the moment he saw my face swollen with tears. He scanned me thoroughly looking for possible hints.“You fought with who? Kade?” Aaron
Chasing My Ex Wife Back Do You Even Love Me At All?
Chapter ThreeMy eyes widened fixed on Kade. Tears threatened to fall but I swallowed them back, I folded my arms folding each grain of anger back inside. “Have you ever cared about my feelings at all?”My voice cracked, alongside my heart betraying the strength I tried to hold in my folded hands.He looked up from his glass, his expression painting his face with a bitter frown. As if my voice was a rejection he never expected.“Do you even love me at all?”Even if it's just for pretense, I won't mind! I fired at him.My voice pierced my own ears, shaking steadily with my body, Kade and Lisa's eyes focused on me full with shock. The shock that surprised me too.Kade’s eyes grew larger, each one begging for freedom an escape, as if my presence was the only target audience in sight. Suddenly, Lisa's hand rose to shift a hair strand, instead of falling back to where it belonged. It lingered in the midair confused. Her gaze caught the signal and obeyed, her gaze collapsing to the floor,

Chapter Two:Lisa is moving in? Yeah, that's what I said; he responded, his voice filled with his ever-bossy tone, still not catching on.I felt my eyelids blinking rapidly, capturing the memory of their intimate display from earlier. My jaw clenched, and my teeth ground against each other in anger

Chapter one"Congratulations! You are two months pregnant," Dr. Saskia said, smiling as she shared the news. I took some steps back in disbelief, my mouth wide open and my jaw dropping in shock, while blinking uncontrollably. "Me, pregnant?" I asked, stunned. "Are you sure?""Yes," she replied, "an
