The every womanHi huns. Yesterday I didn't update because I was a little depressed lol. My Author account had a glitch and I can't see the reviews and comments. I have updated my editor and thankfully, just like always she was quick to respond and they're fixing it. Incase you notice it too, no worries you can comment as usual it will show once it's been sorted. Love you all, two more chapters coming in a bit.

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
Last Updated : 2025-04-19Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 110~ Her Rage
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

ATHENAI thought the black box Marcus gave me would unsettle the pit in my stomach. Well, guess what… I was wrong.Because my heart has been on that text since I left Rayen recovering in the hospital a week ago.“UNKNOWN:I know what happened to your child.”I tried to call the number. It was off. Still is. And now, instead of fear, it’s anger burning beneath my skin like wildfire..How dare they try to play with me?Do they have any idea what it means to lose a child? Do they understand that kind of pain? The kind that never heals never softens, never lets go?That’s not something you dangle over someone’s head like a cruel joke, then switch off your damn phone and vanish into silence.I looked like I had seen a damn ghost as I came up with an excuse to avoid Ariana’s questioning gaze. I should’ve deleted that message. But I didn’t.Because a tiny, maddening part of me, the same part that still dreams of tiny fingers and lullabies in the middle of the night, hopes it’s rea

ATHENA “Stay in the car while I check out the area.” Zayan says as he unbuckles his belt and pulls a damn gun from the dash, making my eyes widen in shock.“My dad is running for office. It makes me a target during campaigns.” He explains, making me press my lips together. “I didn't say anything.”Zayan smirks, catching the silent judgment in my eyes anyway. “You didn’t have to.”I roll my eyes, but inside, I’m thankful. I hate that I’m thankful. Because this shouldn’t be happening. I shouldn’t be here, chasing ghosts and clutching to the thin thread of a maybe.He steps out of the car, scanning the surroundings like a trained agent,making me wonder how many things he can do. He's an excellent doctor, a great rider, and now he looks like a spy in disguise. Who am I friends with?I follow him as I approach the building, ensuring whoever is here is able to see I didn't go against our agreement . “I told you to stay in the damn car, Athena!” He hisses, but I just shake my head. He le

ATHENA Anna’s words hit me like a truck, and I feel like I’ve just been kicked in the chest. Air escapes my lungs in a wheeze. My hands curl into fists on the table, nails biting into my palms until it stings.“I thought she went abroad and gave birth a month later than I did.” My eyes are bloodshot red, and I can barely keep my voice steady. “There was no baby. As far as I know. I don't know whose child they switched with, but Leah didn't go anywhere. She's been around the whole time, and they probably made the date a month later to avoid suspicion. Maybe they feared Mr. King will notice a few things that show she's guilty.”“Why?” I whisper, barely able to breathe. “Why would she… do something so evil?”“I don’t know,” Anna replies, her voice trembling now. “But she wasn’t alone. There were people helping her, people with influence. This wasn’t just about jealousy or revenge. I'm so sorry, Athena. I understand you're angry and you'll want to report me.”I laugh.A cold hallow soun

ATHENA The shot rings out.I brace for the pain, for the heat of the bullet tearing through my flesh.But it never comes.I’m still standing.I'm still breathing.Frozen.My heart slams against my ribs as the world slows around me.And then-“No!”A body crashes into mine, shoving me hard to the side.I stumble, catching myself against the edge of a table.That’s when I hear it, a guttural gasp, the sound of someone choking on breath. The thud of a body hitting marble.Blood splatters.I look down my body and realize it's not mine.My eyes widen as I turn.Someone took the bullet.For me.From the corner of my eye, I can see Leah screaming, thrashing, wild-eyed like a mad woman.. But the officers are on her now, four of them tackling her to the ground, ripping the gun from her hands.My ears ring.The voices fade.Someone’s shouting my name, but it sounds like it’s coming from underwater.Everything begins to blur, hitting me all at once.A gun.Shoot.Not me.I look to the side and

ATHENALeah stares at the dress like it's made of poison.I could poison it, but that would have been too merciful.Her hands tremble as she clutches the dresser behind her for balance. “You’re bluffing,” she whispers, her voice cracking beneath the weight of panic. “You can’t- none of this-this isn’t legal!”I take another step closer and smile. It’s not kind. It’s not warm. It’s the smile of a woman who’s been pushed too far, who’s crawled her way through hell and came back with fire in her veins.“Oh, sweetheart,” I say, leaning in until our noses almost touch, “do I look like I care about what’s legal? I think you and I already crossed that line. ”She flinches.“ You know the first thing that hit me when I found out what you had done? I wanted to drown you the way you did to me. But then I realized there was a better way. Whatever you love, I’ll take it. Every fucking thing attached to your name, I will rip it from you and burn it to ashes. Everything you've been craving, will
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 121 ~ Smile
ATHENAFLASHBACK7 days ago….“It’s only been two hours. Don’t be so anxious,” Zayan says to me, but it does nothing to calm the storm raging inside me.Alex is unpredictable.He may think I fabricated the evidence, and that’s not even the worst that could happen. Leah could get her hands on the documents, twist the story like she always does, and paint me as a manipulator.I’m pacing the length of Zayan’s office, chewing on my nail, with nerves clawing up my throat when the door suddenly slams open, and I nearly jump out of my skin.Alex stands there like a force of nature. His shoulders are rigid, his chest is heaving, and those wild green eyes are locked onto me with pure fury.“Get the fuck out,” he growls, low and dangerous. Zayan straightens from where he’s leaning against the desk, glaring at Alex. “It’s my office,” he snaps.I flick my desperate gaze toward Zayan, silently begging him to give us a moment. Zayan hesitates for just a moment before he sighs and grabs his jacke

LEAHSix days later…“I hope you secure a good fortune after paying ten million for a ridiculous wedding dress!” Mum snaps as she adjusts the hem of my robe.“Can we see it?” she asks, her voice softer this time, almost curious.“No," I say, flipping my hair over my shoulder. "It’s not with me. I had to do makeup first.”Dad grumbles something under his breath, still pale from the heart attack he nearly had when the bank called him.Apparently, when someone drops ten million on a dress, the financial world panics.They thought I’d lost my card. That some thief was out there playing dress-up with my future.But no. I signed the authorization myself and left a copy with the boutique, just in case I change my mind and want a refund later.Not that it matters.Ten million is nothing compared to how much I’ll be entitled to once the vows are said, and my last name is King.“In a few minutes," I remind them with a sparkling smile, "Alexander King will be your son-in-law. Do you have any ide

LEAHI swallow hard, my hands trembling so badly I have to clutch them behind my back."No," I say, my voice cracking. "Of course not! Alex, you know me...""Do I?" he asks, tilting his head, his green eyes unreadable.The assistant stands frozen behind the counter, the dress draped over her arm like a dead body.I force a smile, blinking fast to hide the sting in my eyes."I’ll just... call Daddy," I say quickly. "He’ll transfer the money right now. It’s no big deal."Alex chuckles a low, dangerous sound that makes my blood turn to ice.Is he testing me?"Of course," he responds, "Call Daddy."His words are laced with mockery, but I ignore it. I'm sure it's a test.One I'm not going to lose!I've come too close to the goal to let it slip off my hands. I yank my phone out of my purse so fast it almost flies across the room.Dialing my father’s number, I press it to my ear, forcing a smile at Alex.He watches me, hands still shoved casually into his pockets, like he’s enjoying every
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 118 ~ A surprise
LEAH“What are we doing here, Alex?” I whisper, my voice barely coming out, unable to believe what’s standing right in front of me.A bridal boutique.A real, shimmering bridal boutique. My fucking dream boutique where they sale the best and most expensive wedding gowns!The doors swing open as if they were expecting us.A woman in a sleek black dress smiles warmly and gestures us inside. "Welcome Mr. King, ma'am. We've been expecting you."Ma'am.Mrs King is the name but I have to play nice so I smile. “Thank you!”.When we step In…. my breath stops!I stumble forward, my heart slamming into my ribs so hard it hurts.I turn to Alex, blinking up at him, my mind spinning, almost scared to say the words out loud. “Alex, really... what is this?”He doesn’t smile.He doesn’t soften. He just looks at me with those icy green eyes and says, his voice low and serious,“To be my wife... you need a dress.”He shrugs like it’s obvious, like it’s the most natural thing in the world. “Isn’t
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 117 ~ A swap
LEAH“Mummy, can we go to a play park today?” An irritating little voice reaches my ears, cutting through the music, playing softly in the background.I clench my teeth so hard my jaw aches.How have I managed to raise this little brat?Ugh.I set down my eyeliner with a sharp clink on my dresser. Focus, Leah. Focus.You need him. You need him to get what you want. He's the golden ticket.“Mummy?” he says again, his voice higher, whinier.“What!” I snap, whipping around so fast he flinches. I catch the way his lower lip wobbles that stupid, pathetic look he gives when he’s about to cry.The anger simmers hotter under my skin.“Why are you so damn annoying? Go find Miranda and bother her!”I turn back to the mirror, snatching up the mascara wand with enough force to nearly snap it in half.From the corner of my eye, I see him hesitate. He shifts on his tiny feet, fiddling with the hem of his shirt.I've fought so hard to be where I am. Nothing was handed to me, nothing!Not my st
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 116 ~ Results
ATHENAThe breath I didn’t know I’d been holding finally escapes my lungs. The paper slips from my fingers, fluttering softly to the floor, but I don’t reach for it.I can’t move.I’m frozen in place, staring blankly. As a wave of emotions crashes over me with such force, it nearly knocks the air from my chest as I read the results over and over again. Paternity Results;Athena Dawson and Rayen King: 99.9% Match.Rayen is mine.He’s mine.My baby didn’t die. He didn’t die that day in the hospital like they told me.I wasn’t crazy.I didn’t imagine his little fingers curling around mine. The way I knew, deep in my soul, that he existed even when no one believed me.Tears burn my eyes, blurring the world around me, and I lift my trembling hand to cover my mouth. A choked sob escapes before I can stop it. Zayan is suddenly beside me again, his arm wrapping around my shoulders, anchoring me before I drown in the storm.“If I say I suspected it before I saw his birthmark, then I must be
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 115 ~ Are you sure?
ATHENAI’ve had so many situations that took my breath away. Literally.But the man standing here before me, with his jaw clenched and eyes that flicker like a storm about to strike tops the list by far. My mouth dries up. My pulse screams in my ears. And for a second, I forget to breathe altogether.I crouch down quickly, stuffing the toothbrush back into the resealable bag like it’s nothing more than a spilled pen. Casual. Cool. Calm. All the things I am absolutely not right now. His shoes move closer, and they match the fast beating of my heart.Ta ta ta taSilence.When I look up, I realize the sound had stopped because he's now close. “You didn't answer me,” he says, his voice lower now. My fingers fumble with the zipper of my purse. “Rayen asked me to get him something,” I lie, though my voice wavers near the end. “I was just grabbing it.”Or I could have just said he invited me, but that's even worse. A three year old invites you, and you end up stealing?Oh God!
