I want to take this opportunity to appreciate you all for having reached this far with me. I know so much had been said on how cliché the book would turn out but you trusting I could whip up something good warms my heart.
Thank you for each and every comment, gem and review you have left for me. It has helped the book so much we are ranking at number one somewhere and at number four on the main collection stories.
On how many chapters the full story will be, I'm yet to see once the first part unfolds but of course it won't be a forrever ongoing novel.
Secondly, on updates I know one chapter has been upsetting and I'm sorry for that. I'll make it up to you with a massive update one of these days.
I just got married so I'm still trying to get used to balancing my new life and my writing but I promise I'm getting there.
Thirdly, if you have any questions or anything you'd like to air out, post it in the comments below. I'll respond to it.
That's it for now.
Thank you once more.
With all my love.

Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 103 ~ Tell me why
ALEX “What?” Her beautiful whiskey brown eyes widen. I lean back with a sigh.“He was born on the 22nd of October. Which is a month from now.” I add with an emphasis on Rayen's upcoming third birthday that he won't stop talking about.Her eyes fall to her laps, and a look of disappointment crosses her features. I was shocked when I saw her here and even more shocked when she asked to speak to me. Athena hates me as much as I hate her, and the only time we see each other is when Rayen won't stop asking for her. Although, I'm starting to think that's just my excuse.Something inside me moved when I saw the pain in her eyes as I brought Rayen with an ambulance, but it also confused me. Doesn't she hate kids?Isn't she happy now that I'm out of her life with nothing tying her to me?“Oh.” Her voice pulls me back to the present, and I frown. I thought she was curious about his birthday so she could get him a gift seeing how close they are now. But it seems I was wrong looking at the d

ATHENA “22nd October.” The words echo in my mind like a depressing song on a loop.My baby was born on the 22nd of September.Which means… Rayen isn’t mine." Not biologically. Not by blood.God, I feel like such a fool.I shouldn’t have come. I should’ve stayed away like I promised myself I would. But I saw the ambulance that day, saw the way Alex held him, panic written all over his face. Something broke in me. Something deep and aching.Maybe it was guilt. Maybe it was that stupid glimmer of hope I’ve been secretly nursing like a wound that never healed.And that damn birthmark.“We even have the same hair color!” Rayen's happy voice rings at the back of my head, making my eyes sting.I wrap my arms tightly around myself.I was so hopeful. I'm so sure there was a reason I felt that pull to Rayen every time I saw him. The way he’d cling to me. The way I knew how to soothe his cries like I’d done it a hundred times before.But it was just in my head. It's just a cruel coincidence.Wi

ATHENA“Thank you for everything, Noah, I really mean it.” I reach over and squeeze his hand. He flashes me his handsome smile, “You know I'd do anything for you. Now go in there before I'm forced to say what I'm not supposed to.”I shake my head at that threat and lean over, I place a small kiss on his cheek, and then I rush into the hospital, feeling better than I felt when I left Alex's office.Months back, he and Zayan have been trying to get me to go out on a date, but I think that will just ruin what we already have, so it's better for us to only be friends. “There she is!” Ian flashes me his eye shutting smile and my cheeks warm. “Dr. Quin.” I nod, mirroring his smile. “Come with me.” He says as he starts walking towards the office and I frown. Ian rarely calls me to his office, and with how he's mostly smiling, you never know what bomb he's about to drop. We step into his office, and I close the door behind me, still trying to figure out if I should be nervous or not. Ia

ATHENA“Dr. Dawson!” Rayen wriggles out of Alex’s arms the moment he spots me and dashes toward me with a wide grin.It took a long time to get him to stop calling me mummy and just call me Dr. Dawson, but after a few explanations he gave in. I can't lie. Seeing him hurts me, but he's just an innocent boy who finds my presence warming. How can I push him away?I barely have time to brace myself before he flings his arms around my waist, nearly knocking the wind out of me.“Rayen,” I breathe, crouching to hug him back tightly. “You’re supposed to be in school.”He pulls back just enough to pout. “I told Daddy I wouldn’t stop crying until he brought me to see you.”I glance up at Alex, who’s now stopped a few feet away, hands in his pockets, watching quietly with unreadable eyes. “He’s very persistent,” Alex says.I rise slowly, my heart still a chaotic mess after everything Ian just told me.“Hey,” Alex says softly once Rayen skips off toward the nurses’ desk. “You okay?”I nod, too

ATHENA One week later....“If I didn't know better, I'd say Alex has fallen for you.” Isabelle joins me on my lunch table.“Alex doesn't for anything.” I correct her as I take a sip of my drink.All this time, I thought he loved Leah, but it turns out it was just gratitude. How cold is he that his heart can't open up to truly love?“Then why has he been coming here every day for the past five months? Because Rayen misses you?” Isabella laughs, “Sloane will die of laughter when she gets back.”I glare at her, trying not to let the little twitch at the corner of my lips betray the part of me that’s secretly… affected. “Sloane doesn’t need to hear anything about her cousin who happens to be my ex-husband!”“Too late. I already told her yesterday when she called.”I groan and rest my forehead against the table. “You’re the worst.”“And yet, I’m the only one willing to speak the truth while the rest of you dance around it like it’s an open-heart surgery.”I lift my head and stare at my h

ALEX“You look like shit.” Luca leans back in his chair, brown eyes sweeping over me like he’s confirming a diagnosis.“Shit doesn’t cover it,” Iann chimes in, and I throw him a glare that lacks the heat it usually carries.They're both right. I do look like hell.“Should I pour you a drink?” Luca offers, but I shake my head.“Rayen’s birthday party starts in an hour. I’m not showing up stinking of whiskey.”Luca whistles. “Look at you being responsible.”I rub at my temples, head throbbing from more than just the sleepless nights. “I just… I don’t get it.”That makes them both pause. I never start conversations like this. I usually keep things buried, neat, and tucked somewhere no one can find them, but something’s been cracking lately. “Get what?” Luca edges me on.“Athena.” Her name feels like gravel in my throat. “She’s been… amazing with Rayen. Like really good to him. He's already sent me a picture of the gift she just took to him, some Lego game, and he swears it's the bes

ALEX“I… I thought he was with Athena,” she says, her voice cracking. “He said he wanted to show her something. I assumed he’d gone to her. He always runs off to her and he’s always fine so I thought he was fine!”Her words slam into me like a freight train.I turn sharply, my eyes narrowing. “So you just let him go? You didn’t follow him?”“We were all getting ready for the cake,” she cries, “Everyone was there. He disappeared so fast, and it wasn’t until we were calling everyone to come back that we noticed him and Athena were still missing.We called Athena, but she hadn’t seen him. Then we started looking…God, Alex, we found him lying in the snow near the trees. He must’ve fallen, oh my God.”Her voice is a sob now, but it doesn’t reach me. I’m too far gone.“You should’ve called me immediately!” I roar, my nose flaring. “You waited? You waited until now to tell me my son was unconscious and freezing in the goddamn snow?!”“Alex, please-”“No!” I snap, my eyes searching for Leah, w

ATHENA I freeze when Leah lunges forward, her voice sharp and wild, slicing through the tense silence like a blade, making everyone halt their movements. Her eyes are full blazed, angry as she stands before me,“I don’t want Athena or her blood anywhere near my son!”The words hang in the air, loud, raw, and cruel.Every head in the waiting room turns.I slowly pull my hand back from Alex’s arm as if I’ve been burned.“What?” I whisper, my voice barely audible. I heard her when she warned me to stay away from her son, and I respected that. Also, it's not my fault he kept coming to see me. What should I have done, kicked him out?He's a child for crying out loud. Even I who hates both his parents, put that hate aside, and played with him.“Leah!” Ariana gasps beside her, eyes wide in horror.Even the nurse holding the clipboard is shocked by the outburst.One would think I pushed the child myself. “Why?” I ask quietly, trying to keep my voice steady. “Why are you so angry at me for

Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 133 ~ On purpose
ALEX We’re almost to the car park.The echo of our footsteps fills the concrete silence, tension hanging thick in the air. Athena is quiet beside me, her hands in the pockets of her coat.Mum hasn't said a word since the session ended. We have more than enough to have Leah locked up for life. But I won't stop there. Her family will lose everything. I'll make sure of it.“Athena, go on ahead sweetie.”Mum’s voice cuts through my thoughts as she halts her steps. I freeze.Athena glances between us, sensing the shift, but doesn’t argue. She nods and walks ahead toward the car, her coat swaying around her ankles.The moment she’s out of earshot, Mum grabs my arm, not hard, but firm. Her short nails digging slightly into my sleeve. I look down into her eyes.And I know.She's hurt.And it breaks my heart.But I had no choice, I had to keep it from her to protect her. I'll admit, at the beginning, I did it to punish them for how neglected I felt. I hoped I would drop dead one day, and
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 132 ~ Her confession
ALEX Everyone knows who Ariana King is. A ruthless lawyer. She knows no bounds and fears no one. My father shields her like a prized jewel. He’d kill for her, and she’d defend him in court without blinking. A dangerous, unshakable bond forged in a union. You get the point.So you can understand why Leah’s face drains of all color. Her eyes dart to the door, the walls, the floor, anywhere but at her. But it’s pointless.There is no way out, and she knows it.She doesn't even protest. I would’ve paid off her lawyer, made sure he didn't do anything funny behind the scenes… But watching Leah sink into hopelessness, realizing she has no leverage left, no allies left?That satisfaction? Pure.“This was genius,” Athena whispers beside me.I glance down at her, the fire in her eyes matching the storm I feel inside.“We’re just getting started.”The detective clears his throat as he sits up straight.He flips open his notepad and starts the recording again.“Leah Woods. Do you unders

ALEX “Alex… I…can't ..mmmffffff ”I tighten my grip.I'm so fucking angry, I can feel the blood boiling in my veins like acid. My pulse is pounding in my ears, drowning out everything and painting everything red.Her nails dig into my wrist, but it’s useless. I don’t loosen my grip.She kicks harder now, making strangled sounds like a dying animal. Her eyes are wild, mascara running down her face as the panic sets in. I lean in close, my lips by her ear."Did you think you were going to walk away clean? Surely you can't be that delusional or are you?"She shakes her head, or tries to.Her hands slap weakly at my chest."If I have to ask you one more fucking time to confess what you did, I'll shred you to pieces.”I drop her.She crumples like a ragdoll, coughing and gasping, her hand flying to her neck.She looks up at me through smeared makeup and horror-stricken eyes.“You…” she wheezes, her voice broken. “You could’ve loved me…”“You should’ve chosen me!” she screams suddenly, po

ALEX“Report,” I say to Ryan as I step into the Detention center where Leah is being held as she waits for trial which is the day after tomorrow.Ryan falls into step with me as we walk, and he responds. “She hasn’t said a word. She keeps pleading the Fifth. Detectives can’t get anything out of her. She’s been stonewalling since the moment she was brought in.”I stop walking and turn to face him slowly, my eyes narrowing.“What?”Ryan stiffens, swallowing hard. He looks like he’s seen a damn ghost.I stare at him, my jaw clenched so hard I’m shocked my teeth are not falling off.“Ryan,” I say with deadly calm, “you have ten seconds to explain what the hell you’re talking about.”He flinches slightly, but then his eyes meet mine, “It seems she has someone backing her. Otherwise, why would she be so confident and arrogant with all this evidence against her?”I breathe in through my nose, slowly, carefully. Hoping it will calm me down.It doesn’t. It fucking makes me see red.“She asked

ATHENA“Dr. Athena!” A sweet, small voice calls as the door swings open.Rayen rushes in, a whirlwind of tiny footsteps and excitement, and jumps into my arms before I can even react.I catch him with a soft oof, my arms instinctively wrapping around his tiny frame.His warmth, his smell, his messy curls pressed against my cheek, and it all hits me like a punch to the chest.God, I missed him.It’s only been a week since our last play date, but it felt like eternity. Like some sort of cruel punishment. I had to stay in the shadows to set the trap for Leah, but every second away from him, knowing he was my son, tortured me.I can’t believe this little angel who giggles in his sleep and asks me if clouds cry when it rains is actually mine.The one who slowly took my heart for himself with no plans of returning it back to me.My little prince.“I made you a card,” he announces proudly, leaning back to pull out a folded sheet of paper from his jacket pocket. The crayon strokes are bold a

ALEX“What the hell happened to you?” Luca asks as I walk through the hospital car park. I'm really not in the mood to talk. So I glare at him and grab my car keys. Athena looked stressed so I'm hoping bringing Rayen will calm her mind as we wait for Sloane to wake up. He will be heartbroken once he finds out his favorite aunt is in hospital. I don't even know how to break the news to him. Hell, I don't know how to tell him Athena is his mother. I'm still trying to find a way to explain that.“I just saw Zayan and the whole clan walk into Athena’s room. Aren't you missing out on the party?” Luca asks, and I halt my steps, turning to face him.“What?” He laughs, “She must have told you shit that bled your heart for you not to notice.” I lock my jaw. “Pick up Rayen from his daycare and bring him here. Also-” I pause, stepping closer. “I want you to keep an eye on Athena. I don’t trust anyone else to protect her.”Luca raises a brow, the playfulness fading, “Do you have someone y
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 127 ~ Reunion
ATHENA “I am safe,” I say, forcing a weak smile, trying to play it off. I don't like worrying people. Zayan has become someone special to me over the years. He is one of the few people who actually cares about me, and it hurts me seeing him like this. His mother is not my biggest fan but Rose, his sister inlaw always tells me it's not just me she's like that with everyone. So I guess I no longer felt bad whenever we hang out. But truly, I am grateful to Zayan, without him, I don’t know if I would have found the strength to meet Anna and uncover the truth about my son. “I mean, technically I’m breathing, so that counts, right?” I try to lighten the mood, but fail miserably because his glare only increases.His jaw is clenched, his brows drawn so tightly they almost touch. He stares at me like he can’t decide if he wants to hug me tighter or scream until the walls shake.“You almost died,” he says. “Again.”Speaking of which, I need to investigate who was powerful enough to back Le

ATHENAI wrap my arms around myself, trying to take a proper breath and decide what comes next. Isabelle came to check on me, and I was about to rush out when she relieved me with an update.Sloane is stable now.Still unconscious, but stable.And I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she walks again, even if I have to give her my own damn legs.The door creaks open.I glance up.Alex steps in and pauses mid-step when he sees me awake. I guess he wasn’t expecting that.“Why do you look shocked? Where were you hoping I’d die?” I mock, not bothering to hide my annoyance. “You’re awake?” he says softly, ignoring the insult I just hit him with.Alexander King? Having a soft voice?It’s strange. All my life, Alex’s voice has been clipped and cold. Not this.I nod once, my throat dry, feeling like I’ve swallowed sandpaper.He walks toward the side of the bed, carefully lowering himself into the chair like he's afraid he'll break me just by existing. In his hands is a paper bag and a tak

ALEXShit! I curse under my breath.I catch her before she hits the floor, her weight folding into my arms like a puppet with its strings cut.“Athena!” I shout, lowering her gently, cradling her head as panic claws up my throat. “I need a doctor right now!”Isabelle is instantly beside me, checking Athena’s pulse, her expression calm, but I can see her resolve cracking.It's her best friend, after all. “We need a stretcher!”A nurse rushes in with one, and I lift Athena onto it carefully, my hand refusing to let go of hers even as Isabelle moves to wheel her away.“Let us take it from here, Alex,” Isabelle says gently.But I hesitate.For a second, I think if I just hold on tighter, maybe I can keep her from slipping further away and from shutting me out completely. But I nod and step back.She disappears down the hall, and I’m left standing in the silence that follows.Noah drops into a chair, his hands buried in his hair while his shoulders shake with quiet despair. Ian stands
