Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 144 ~ I'm coming to get you!
ALEX “Athena?”Static.“Athena, answer me, please!”More static.Then nothing.Fuck!My heart slams against my ribs so hard it feels like it might crack. I stare at the screen. The call has dropped. My hands are shaking. She screamed. I heard it. And then that sound, metal against wood. Impact.She crashed.I shoot to my feet, nearly knocking over the coffee table. Rayen stirs on the couch, his small chest rising and falling in steady rhythm.He likes to sleep when it rains. I always work from home when it's my turn to be with him. I was thinking of what to do over the weekend, so I called Athena.Honestly, I'm glad I did.I quickly dial mum's line, and luckily, she picks on the first ring.“Mum, can you come over? It's urgent.” “I'm on my way.” The rain is still heavy, so I'm taking a risk, but Mum is an excellent driver. So that doesn't really worry me.I rush toward the window, with my heart in my throat. The rain still lashes the glass. The storm outside is relentless, but i

ATHENA The room is so silent that you can hear a pin drop.“In particular, a confidential file from six years ago. One we sealed for legal and ethical reasons.” His eyes lock onto mine for a split second. “We have reason to believe the file was targeted. And whoever accessed it… is someone on staff.”The air is sucked from the room. Others gasp quietly. “This meeting is to inform you all that an internal investigation is already underway. All logins and system access will be monitored, and any irregularities will be dealt with swiftly. This hospital was built on trust between staff, patients, and the system we represent. That trust has been compromised.”He pauses and looks around the room again.“If anyone has information, now is the time to speak up. Before we find you ourselves and when we do, it won't just end with your license being revoked!”No one moves. No one speaks.He nods once. “That’s all.”And just like that, he walks out.The silence he leaves behind is deafening.Ev

ATHENA “I’m sorry,” Isabelle says slowly, blinking like she’s trying to process what I just told her. “Let me get this straight, you fell asleep after we left the party, and Alex carried you to his bed? Then he made you coffee and cinnamon buns?”I nod, curling my hands tighter around the coffee cup I’ve barely sipped from.She stares at me. “Was the coffee poisoned? Did you get food poisoning from the buns? Any hallucinations? Sudden urge to forgive the man who broke your heart and set your world on fire?”I laugh. “No hallucinations just yet. But who knows, maybe it takes a week.”“Why didn't you say no.” She asks, her face still in shock.“I did. He insisted.” I respond.“Don’t let him fool you twice, Athena. That man doesn't deserve you.” I laugh again. Isabelle gives me a look. “I’m serious, Athena. Don’t let your guard down just because he smiled or made coffee. That man is a walking red flag wrapped in a fitted suit and looks to die for.”“Don’t be dramatic.” I mutter under
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 141 ~ Did you poison it?
ATHENA Warmth.That’s the first thing I feel.Soft sheets. The scent of fresh linen. A deep musk lingering in the air, cedarwood and something...oddly familiar.My brows pull together as my body stretches slowly, reluctantly, like it doesn’t want to leave the comfort it's found. Pulling the warm bed sheets closer, I throw my leg over a pillow when realization hits me like a damn train.Wait.My eyes shoot open.This isn’t my bed.The ceiling is higher, the light brighter. The blankets are thicker, softer, almost cloudlike. My heart slams against my ribs.Where the hell am I?Did I go clubbing and leave with a stranger?I haven't gone clubbing in years!I sit up fast and immediately regret it. My head spins, my hair tumbling over my shoulders in a wild mess. My son!My gaze whips around the room, my breath catching and my heart beating faster and faster. Then I remember.The party. Speeches. Everyone getting together. Falling asleep on the couch with Rayen. The exhaustion. The way
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 140 ~ Asleep
ALEX I shoot him a flat look, already regretting letting my heart do the talking.I should have said that in private, but I wanted everyone in this room to hear it. Our marriage, having been a secret, is another thing I deeply regret. “You planning on becoming a motivational speaker now? Hi, I’m Alexander King, the emotionally constipated CEO reformed romantic.”I groan. “Luca, shut up.”“Oh, come on” he grins, nudging me with his elbow. “You almost made me cry, bro. Almost. And you know I only cry during championship games and when Nonna burns the pasta.”I try not to smile, but the corner of my mouth betrays me.“I mean, damn.” Luca crosses his arms on his chest and leans back in his chair, “ I mean, who knew you had a whole sonnet living in your chest? I thought if you ever gave a speech like that, it’d be for a company merger, not a woman you used to treat like a potted plant.”“Luca.” I warn.“Sorry. Sorry.” He holds up his hands, barely suppressing his laughter. “But seriously,
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 139 ~ From the heart
ALEXI find myself drawn to say something, something for my mother, for my Nonna. But mostly… mostly for the mother of my son.Athena.As I rise, glass in hand, I feel all eyes shift toward me. But none of them matter except hers.My gaze finds her.She’s already crying, smiling, and beautiful in that way that makes my chest tighten. And yet, I know I’ve been the cause of so many of her tears before. The wrong kind. Not the ones she has on right now. Those tears are for what my mum and Nonna said. When she looks at me, her eyes are full of hatred.My heart aches when I think about the terrible things I said to her. The unforgivable things. The look in her eyes when I told her she meant nothing. She killed her own child and forced her to sign the divorce papers. That day will forever haunt me.Honestly, she must be an angel to even look me in the eye now. To be civil. To laugh. To sit at the same table as me after everything.It must be tough, having to see my face and be reminded of
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 138 ~ A gift
ATHENA Noah freezes. His grip loosens instantly as his eyes snap toward the voice.Alex stands there, calm as a glacier, but there’s nothing cold about the fire in his eyes. One hand is in his pocket, the other resting casually at his side, but the tension rolling off him could crack the floor.Noah straightens slowly, his jaw ticking in anger. Hatred written in every line of his body.Did something happen between these two, or does Noah hate Alex because of what happened to Sloane? But that would be unfair. She took the bullet for me and not him.“I wasn’t hurting her,” he says through clenched teeth.Alex takes a slow, deliberate step forward. “You touched her, and she flinched. That's more than hurting her.”“Why do you care?!” Noah hisses, and when Alex takes another step forward, he snaps his mouth shut.Oh, for crying out loud!“Stop it, both of you!” I hiss, yanking my hand back and stepping between them. “I shouldn’t have to explain myself to you, Noah. Nothing is going on
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Author's note
Hi huns.How have you been?I've been good and I've been enjoying writing this book although I get anxious every now and then. Thank you for the gems and the constant support you've been giving me. I have a huge announcement but I first need to confirm with my editor then tell you about it. So let's be anxious together, lol.I've been reading all your comments and they always put a smile on my face. That is one thing I'll never take for granted. I also wanted to clarify something.Iann Quin is Ethan's childhood bestfriend. Ethan and Rose are in "My CEO Husband's Regret." But as life happened, Ian also became bestfriends with Alexander. As for what type of man he is, we will have to see as the story unfold. We will have cross overs here and there but no need to worry because this book is a stand alone.I just wanted to address that so you're aware that this will have book one and two where book two will be Ian's story. As for how many chapters this will be, my editor and I are still

ATHENAAriana bounds toward me, practically glowing as she throws her arms around my neck.“God, you smell like eucalyptus and baby shampoo. I hate how much I missed you,” she says, planting a loud kiss on my cheek before pulling back and giving me a once-over. “Wait... what’s going on? Why are we here? And why do you look like you’re about to go to bed?”I laugh.Trust Ariana to roast your outfit no matter what you wear. These are the days when I miss Sloane the most. They’d go head to head as they argue about her love for bright colors and crazy combinations. I open my mouth, then close it again. “I... don’t know,” I admit honestly. “Alex and Rayen said it’s a surprise. That’s all I know.”Before she can press for more, Giana groans dramatically as she climbs out of the car with Ryan’s help, her hand pressed to her lower back.“Ugh, I swear my back is conspiring against me today.”Alex raises a brow. “Your back hurts because you’ve been glued to the couch watching Korean dramas fo
