Chasing My Innocent Ex-wife Back Chapter 144
FLORENCE’S POVI stared at the screen in front of me, watching the cursor blink relentlessly. I had been sitting here for over two hours, and yet, not a single email had left my inbox. Not one reply typed. Every word seemed to slip through my fingers, evaporating into nothingness before it could form a coherent sentence.The office buzzed gently around me—the comforting hum of the air conditioning, the distant murmur of conversations, the occasional laughter floating down the hallways. But it all felt muffled. Distant. Irrelevant. I couldn’t latch onto any of it, and my thoughts refused to cooperate.Every time I tried to focus, my mind drifted right back to my father, the haunted look in his eyes as he told me the truth, his frail voice echoing in my memory. Melissa Whitehill, the woman I’d once dismissed as just another superficial, status-driven socialite, had single-handedly orchestrated my family’s ruin. And yet, even knowing the truth, nothing felt resolved. It only left

MASON’S POVDaniel strode through the front doors as though he owned them. His shoulders were pulled back, chin raised just high enough to show us all he’d never once looked up at another person in his life. The four men flanking him—huge, stone-faced, silent—moved in perfect sync, and suddenly our spacious foyer felt crowded. Suffocating.My father’s face turned pale—ghost-white, as if he’d just been punched in the gut. Beside him, my mother collapsed onto the couch like her knees had given way.“Dad?” Clarke muttered, the question hanging in the air like smoke.The silence was deafening. My father’s chest rose and fell rapidly. I watched his hands curl into fists, knuckles white as he clenched and unclenched them repeatedly.“Daniel,” he finally said, voice tight. “You don’t belong here.”Daniel’s smile didn’t waver. He didn’t even blink.“Funny, Howard,” Daniel replied, intentionally using my father’s first name with the sharpness of a blade. “I don’t recall you being particularl

MASON’S POV“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?”The words ripped me out of sleep so violently, I thought I was dreaming at first. Or falling. Or choking.I blinked hard. Sunlight poured in through the balcony curtains, sharp and golden, far too cheerful for the tone booming through the house.I turned to my side.Empty.The pillow beside mine was untouched. The sheets were cool.And the suitcases Jade tucked into the back corner of the closet?Gone.I sat up too fast. The inside of my skull throbbed with last night’s whiskey. My shirt was half-buttoned, my mouth dry. But the cold pit in my stomach didn’t come from the hangover.It came from knowing exactly what had happened. I had left Jade by the pool last night. I was knocked out the second my head hit the pillow. She must have come in later, packed her things, and bolted in the dead of night. I couldn’t blame her. The yelling got louder.I dragged myself out of bed, my feet hitting the cool wooden floor. My heart pounded harder with ev

MASON’S POVI wasn’t in the mood for anything when I got home—not for conversation, not for food, and definitely not for fake smiles. Work had been hell. Half the team at Rising Row didn’t show up to the concept review, and the supplier in Milan decided to “pause” our collaboration due to unnamed financial irregularities.The second I walked into the house, I knew something was off. There was this… tension in the air. Not the usual, passive-aggressive family tension. This was sharper. Like glass waiting to be stepped on.I loosened my tie, tossed my keys into the tray, and stepped toward the hallway.That’s when I saw her.Jade.Sitting in the backyard, facing the pool. A glass of red wine in hand.I froze.Then stormed forward. “What the hell are you doing?”She didn’t even flinch. Just swirled the wine lazily, like it was juice.“You’ve lost your mind,” I snapped, snatching the glass away. “You’re drinking? Are you insane? You’re pregnant!”She looked at me over the rim of the glas

FLORENCE’S POVMelissa Whitehill.Of all the names my father could’ve spoken, hers was the very last I expected to hear. Melissa was someone I'd known for years, yet never felt I understood. To me, she'd always seemed like a woman floating just on the edges—glass of wine in one hand, pill bottle hidden somewhere discreet, eyes glazed with quiet indifference. I’d watched her drift from party to party, chasing status with the kind of careless hunger that made me uneasy. Even her presence around her sons seemed distant, detached—like they were accessories she wore but never truly wanted.Not a good person, but technically, harmless. Or so I’d thought.Harmless was the last word I’d use now.My father’s words echoed in my mind as the taxi pulled out of the hospital driveway. Rain tapped softly against the car window, blurring the streetlights into hazy circles of gold and white.“It was Melissa, Florence. It’s always been Melissa.”He had spoken quietly, exhausted by the truth. I reme

JADE’S POVAs I pushed open the door, the faint jingle of the bell overhead made me wince. A couple in the corner turned to look. I hated being watched now, even by strangers. My heart was thudding for no reason, and I realized my fingers were clenched into fists inside my coat pockets. The warmth of the café hit me like a wave—too cozy for the kind of conversation I was about to have.Tucked into a narrow street behind a bookstore, it was all dim lighting, mismatched chairs, and a chalkboard menu that hadn’t changed in six months. A single ceiling fan spun half-heartedly overhead. It smelled like stale espresso and cinnamon—comfortable, but not memorable. Which was exactly why Daniel chose it.He was already seated when I walked in, tapping the edge of his phone against the table, his other hand wrapped around a chipped coffee mug. His eyes lifted to meet mine and narrowed the second he saw my face.“You’ve been crying,” he said.“No,” I lied, slipping into the seat across from hi

JADE’S POVThe house was too quiet at night. Even the walls felt like they were listening.I’d timed it perfectly. Serena was out at some spa appointment, and Mason was locked in his room, avoiding everyone like a brooding anti-hero. The staff retired early, and the guards rarely came near the east wing once the clock hit ten. Which meant I had twenty, maybe thirty minutes max.I slipped inside Howard’s office and shut the door behind me, pressing my back to the polished wood like I was waiting to be shot.No footsteps. No shadows under the door.I exhaled and walked straight to the desk.The computer screen flickered to life with the touch of a key.Still password-locked.I tried everything I remembered: birthdays, middle names, company initials, even “Mason123” because Howard didn’t strike me as very creative.Nothing.“Come on…” I hissed, glancing over my shoulder.And then I remembered what Daniel said a few months ago, in that condescending way he loved so much.“Security system

FLORENCE’S POVI didn’t remember locking the car or thanking the driver.I barely remembered the elevator ride up to the fourth floor.All I could feel was the rhythm of my footsteps—too fast, too loud—and the way my heart knocked against my ribs like it wanted to get to him before I did.He was awake.My father was awake.And I didn’t know what to feel.Relief was obvious. That came first. But close behind it, like a shadow trailing light, came fear.What if this played out like a movie and he’d lost his memory? What if he hated that I cut a deal with the Whitehills to get him out of prison?What if, deep down, I wasn’t his little girl anymore?Dr. Khatri was already waiting near the double doors of the ICU. He offered me a soft smile and that usual tilt of his head that always made bad news sound survivable.“He’s stable,” the doctor said, walking with me toward the room. “Still weak, though. Don’t be alarmed by his voice being weak. Just take it slow.”I nodded wordlessly.He open

RAIDEN’S POVThe house had been… unnervingly peaceful. Joy had been… soft.She’d been humming.Not loudly, not even consistently. But occasionally, I’d catch the sound as I walked down the hallway—her voice, low and tuneless, trailing some old melody while she picked flowers from the garden or stood at the kitchen counter making tea. She was even redecorating. First, the guest washroom got new towels and diffuser sticks. Then the old portraits in the hallway were swapped for abstract art I didn’t recognize. Last week, she had an entire marble basin fitted in the powder room, saying it would add “texture and luxury.”If she weren’t so terrifyingly persistent, I’d almost call her domestic.That morning, I found myself sitting in the garden, the one patch of this house untouched by drama. The hedges were trimmed, the jasmine vines in bloom. A bit of peace in a world that felt like it was about to collapse at any second.I was halfway through replying to an email when Hope plopped hers
