“Come in.” Nolan said, ushering in the person at the door. His eyes glued to his work.

Heavy, deliberate footsteps sounded through the large office, but the more Nolan heard it, the more it felt off. Slow, measured.

Then, silence.

He frowned and glanced up.

“Nice office." came Ethan’s voice, smooth and cold.

A chill crawled up Nolan’s spine, his grip tightening around the pen in his hand.

Ethan stood at a far corner of the office, his hands clasped behind his back, staring at the large art hung on his wall.

“What do you want, Ethan?"

Ethan ignored him, his lips in a thin line. “Refik and Syd Mead, isn't it?” He pointed out, identifying the paintings. “Impressive."

Then he nodded once and turned around. “Great aesthetics but the place could use a lot of redecoration.” he finally turned to Nolan, who was clearly bottling up the anger he was feeling.

Nolan just watched him with quiet rage as Ethan strolled over to the desk.

“No seat offer?" Ethan said, a smirk on his lips. “That's bad

  • Crossed: Chasing Back the Unwanted Wife   Chapter 134

    FOUR MONTHS LATERThe sound of Asher's laughter echoed through the yard as he played with his newfound friend, who lived just a block away. They played around with airplanes and ships, pretending to be under attack by some aliens.They ran past Jules in the garden, where she sat—fingers clutched around a glass of orange juice, the other resting on the small swell of her bump.It sure was nice to be outside in the cold breeze in another country. Far away from everything that brought back memories she swore to forget.Her phone vibrated on the table in front of her, and she leaned close to see a notification from her mom.She almost laughed as she picked it up. It was a picture—one of the thousands of pictures her mom had sent to her ever since Jules had put her on a flight to the country with not just the best treatments, but with the best vacation spots.With the way the pictures rolled in, one wouldn't believe that the woman was actually sick.But she was happy though because after e

    "Mummy?” The air stilled, the small voice cutting through everything.Both pairs of eyes darted to the doorway, their eyes catching the door wide open with Asher standing there clutching his stuffed elephant.For a moment all three just stared—Ethan’s expression had softened though he still pressed Jules against the wall. Jules stopped struggling, even stopped breathing, like she was waiting for the little boy to explode or something.Then, Asher's face twisted, and his eyes watered, and it wasn't long until the tears rolled down his cheeks.Ethan's grip loosened, and Jules pushed him away, running up to the boy.“Oh my God, Asher. I'm so sorry." She apologized, at the point of tears herself as she scooped him up into her arms.Who knew how long he'd been standing there?“It's okay, baby. Mummy is okay." She gently pressed his head to her shoulder. Asher wrapped his arms around her neck as more tears fell.Ethan stepped closer now, realizing how foolish he acted, but it was too late

    Ethan's eyes swept across the room—from the scattered wardrobe, to the overstuffed suitcase, to the scattered contents of the drawer. His brows drew closer even more."What are you doing?” He growled, taking slow steps towards her. Jules trembled in the corner, but the frown on her face dared him to do his worst. She clutched the card in her hand at her side and stared him straight in the eyes. “I'm tired."Ethan got to where she stood and looked her over, the frown on his face never smoothening.“You think I don't know what is going on?" Jules spat.“What is going on, Jules?" Her breath shook. “I know about your fiancée, Ethan. I know about Nora—the little lookalike you kept locked away after leaving her to marry me.” He tilted his head slightly. “And what is wrong with that?" “What?" Jules scoffed, amused. “You are one selfish monster, you know that, right?" She pushed past him and walked over to the suitcase, resuming the stuffing, only she made it faster and more aggressively

    The silence in the car was suffocating as they headed towards Jules and Ethan's house. And it was not just because of the fact that Nolan had just found out Jules was carrying another child for him.But because of the fact that Jules had just ended a lifelong friendship and the possibility that Ethan might be planning to kill someone soon.Either way, Jules held a permanent scowl on her face as the ride lasted, not wanting that conversation to happen. As much as she was boiling from everything, there was this fear shimmering in her chest.She'd been living with the demon himself all these years.And now she'd found out, all she could think of is getting home, getting her things and her child and getting the fuck out of the country.Nolan, on the other hand, could sense the tension radiating from her. And as much as he knew what was at stake and could only imagine the amount of fear and anger she was feeling, he wanted to ask her about it and confirm that he was going to be father to a

    Jules flung the spa door open with so much force that it almost ripped off its hinges.She was supposed to be sad, maybe shedding tears while boiling in anger, but all she could feel was anger—raw, unfiltered, dangerous anger. All she could think of as she stormed towards her car was to squeeze the life out of someone—starting from Cassie.How could she? How could they?Her entire life was a lie!“Jules!” Nolan called, dashing out after her, but Jules didn't turn back. “Jules, stop, please.""I'm so going to kill her!” she yelled, approaching her car, fumbling with the keys.Nolan ran up to her and held her hand. "Jules, stop.”"Let go of me. Let me go!” she tried yanking her hand away from his grip, but it was no use.“Calm down, alright? Wherever you're going, you're not going to get there safely with anger." He begged.“Well, I have to get there somehow. Nolan, let me go.” "Alright, I'll drive you. I'll take you wherever you want." Jules glared at him, her chest still heaving in

    For a second, Nora's words just rang in Jules headeveb after she was done talking. It was like a record being played about five more times in five seconds. Still it sounded like gibberish and she didn't understand it.“Jules?" “You're lying. You're fucking lying!" Jules suddenly yelled at her.Nora's gaze shifted to Nolan filled with fake pity. “Oh no, she's gone." “What's are you talking about?" If Nolan wasn't restraining her, she wanted to go I've to her and punch her face till all the resemblance faded away.But Nora remained calm. That eerie calmness that threatened to shake Jules. She took a step closer.“I knew you won't believe me. Ethan tends to win peoples trust very quickly." “You better tell me who the fuck you are that gives you so much right to speak about my husband that way." Jules shot.“You defend him like you've never had thoughts about leaving him.” She scoffed. "Anyways, before I say anything, you should know your enemy isn't me, but Cassie. Your best friend."
