Evie adjusted her dark shades as she struggled to read the percentage of alcohol on the wine she was staring at.

She normally wouldn't do this—go shopping on her own. But lately she just seemed so set off by everything and everyone.

Maybe it was the baby, maybe it was Nolan's condescending attitude, or maybe it's the fact that three days ago she had to lie in a hospital bed, her eyes shut while a needle was shoved into her arm…on live TV.

“You're okay." Nolan had repeated while she dug her nail

  • Crossed: Chasing Back the Unwanted Wife   Chapter 154

    Ethan stood stunned for a moment, staring down at the wave of her hair falling over her back.He hadn’t known what to expect when he received the call that Jules was spotted leaving the house. He’d gotten into his car and followed her behind without thinking.All he’d wanted was to see her. To see how she was doing. Maybe apologize for everything. For scaring her, for the lies, for all the things he’d kept away from her..It hadn’t been his intention to frighten her in the aisle.He’d just stood there, watching her closely, watching how much pregnancy and time had changed her.At the same time, it made him relive memories—memories of when he first met her, and how much he cared so much about her, he was always scared the baby would break her.And once more she looked like she needed care, maybe his care. But he didn’t know how to approach her, how to begin the conversation.Instead, she’d rushed towards him and thrown herself at him.And he could help it as her body rattled with sobs.

    Jules double-checked her makeup in the mirror, rubbing her lips together to blend the lipstick she'd put on.Whatever stunt Nolan and her mom were trying to pull, she wasn’t about to let it give her a heart attack.She turned to the body mirror and picked up her hand bag, checking her jeans and the top she had on.It didn't hide her belly and it didn't conceal it completely either.Either way, she was going out.She turned towards the door, and paused, her heart nearly jumping out of her chest. Her mom stood there, her hand resting against the door frame, her eyes fixed on Jules. “Mom." She called, forcing a smile. “You're out of your room. I didn't see you there." “Your cheeks are flushed,” her mom observed calmly. “Where are you going?”"Out.”Her mom shot her a look, her voice calm. "You know you're not supposed to step out. Not with some rabid lady on the loose.”Jules scoffed. “And you actually think if she wanted to hurt me, being locked in here would stop her?”Her mom raise

    The ride home from the airport was quiet—too quiet. A heavy silence hung in the air, mixing with the sharp, sick smell of the pills her mom had swallowed minutes after they left the airport.Asher was thrilled to have her back. If not for him, Jules would’ve said a dozen things already. But she held them in. She would wait until they got home, when Asher was out of earshot.And until Nolan was there.She just kept to her side of the car and focused her gaze outside the window as the ride lasted. But then, her Mom’s hand slipped to her knee.She turned, her eyes landing on her Mom’s smiling face.“I know you’re worried,” her mom said softly, her voice low enough that Asher wouldn’t hear—even though he was sitting right there. “But I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine.” “I am,” her mom replied calmly.But Jules wasn’t convinced. Her frown returned. “I called you that day after I left Cassie and I got no response from you. You were knocked out, Mom.”“It’s the medication. My body couldn’t ha

    Jules followed Asher’s movements with her eyes as he ran around the airport’s waiting area, stopping to stare at every small child he came across or bumped into.It was cute, but she was a little paranoid as her eyes also darted between each person who closed in on wherever he was, like they were going to grab him and stuff him into a bag or something.One can’t be too careful, right?She tucked her hair behind her ear, remembering what Cassie had told her. How Cassie had told her Nora was coming. What was she going to do if she got her hands on her Mom? Or even worse, Asher?“Asher? Ash?!” she called, standing from where she sat and walking up to Asher, who was now standing in front of a man juggling some pens, resting against a wall.The man smiled at her, but she didn’t return it. She just placed her hands on Asher’s shoulders and pulled him away, narrowing her gaze at the man. “You know that’s dangerous.” He smiled. “I’m an expert. They never fall off my hands.”“Still, you don

    Nolan tapped his pen impatiently on the desk, his mind racing a million miles per second."Waiting for the first strike for your head to work." Jules' words echoed in his head once more, like it'd been doing all morning.He wasn't sitting around waiting for the first strike. He was trying to be calm about it so he didn't startle anyone.I mean, Jules is pregnant, and Asher's just a kid, and Kai and Trish were preparing for their wedding. He really didn't want to disturb their preparations; they'd done so much for him already.Jules was probably not ,appreciating him enough, he told himself. ‘Could be her hormones.’ He wanted to smack his head to scold it for that thought because apparently, it was now an offence to say those words.He stopped tapping the pen against the table and leaned towards it, a frown etched across his face. “What the hell are you planning, Ethan Fraser?” He muttered, his eyes fixed in no particular direction.“You're trying to scare us, aren't you? And that wo

    “She broke into my house, Jules. And she knows so much. It’s like she was always there—watching. Like she created us.”“You're exaggerating." Jules replied, scratching the back of her neck like it'd stop the pounding in her chest.But Cassie was serious, the horror in her eyes conveying all the warnings she could offer. “I'm serious, Jules. That woman is evil, and she's not stopping until she gets back at you for stealing Ethan." “What?" Jules' heart sank.“I swear I tried to stop her, but she threatened me. She wanted to know where your mom is.”“And you told her?!” Jules’ voice shot up in panic.“No, no." She quickly replied. “I have no idea where your mom is." Jules' shoulders relaxed a bit.“But she's not giving up, and I have no idea what she's up to next." Jules' mind raced with fear and anxiety. Like why the hell was Nora after her? She had no idea she and Ethan were a thing in the first place, so how was this any of her fault?She should be fighting Ethan instead.The thoug

    “And with that, I'd like to conclude that if we'd invest in expanding HARTLINE into other states across the country and eventually, into other countries, we could potentially triple our current profits. Thank you.”Lincoln, the project manager, said with a wide smile, his hand clasped weirdly in fr

    The silence in the car was thick, coupled with the fact that it was evening, and no one else was in the parking lot of Asher's school—where Jules had left her car.Jules and Nolan just sat there—Nolan in the driver's seat, Jules in the shotgun—their eyes forward, their heart heavy from unspoken wor

    Kai stared at Nolan, who sat across from him, eyes fixed on the desk. A pen spun lazily between his fingers, the silence in the room thick enough to choke on.Kai let out a sigh, obviously to get Nolan's attention or better still, break the deafening silence in the room.But it didn't seem enough t

    Jules slammed her office door shut and made a beeline for her desk, fingers already working the first two buttons of her shirt collar.Gasping for air, she leaned into the desk, both hands placed on it as she tried to hold herself, staring at the desk like it held the answer to why her heart was ra
