ALEX

I slam the door and walk to my seat.

We reach our house in record time.

Athena whirls on me the moment we step inside.

"What the hell is your problem, Alex?" she snaps, eyes blazing.

I step closer, crowding her against the wall, my hands braced on either side of her head, caging her in.

"My problem?" I growl, leaning in. "You’re out there, hanging all over my cousin like you want to make a show of it."

She laughs bitterly, but there's a flicker of something in her eyes, maybe nerves, maybe something else.

"I’m hanging all over him? You were just dancing with Leah like she’s your damn wife!" she fires back, shoving my chest, but I don't move.

"Don’t play games with me, Athena," I bite out, my face so close I can see her pupils dilate.

She glares, but her breathing quickens, and I know I’m getting to her.

"You're jealous," she accuses, her voice softer now, as if she can't believe it herself.

I smirk, though there's nothing funny about the way my chest feels tigh

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 50 ~ A shock

    ATHENA Two months later….“I've been so ashamed to visit you. I'm sorry it took me so long!” Mira, hold my hands, and I hold hers back. “It wasn't your fault.” I smile at her, but she shakes her head. “It was. I shouldn't have left you alone for so long.” Tears well in her eyes, and I laugh. I'm having a hard time trying to put the face in my mind, but after failing miserably, I just sighed. But just a look at her, I can tell she's someone I'd totally be friends with. “You look cute like that.” I tease when she glares at me. “How are you feeling?” She asks, and I groan as I lean back in the hospital bed. I hate hospitals, and having come back here meant I was on my last stroll. Nothing about this place eases my mind. So when I was told I've always wanted to be a doctor, I knew I had to get help if I'm going to live to my full potential. There must have been a reason why I wanted to be a doctor. I just know it.“Athena, babe. Stop spacing out. How are you feeling?” Mira repeats

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 51 ~ Torn

    ATHENAThe door opens, and I almost jump out of my skin from how startled I am after the news I just heard. It's been two hours since Mira left, and my mind has been unsettled. But I don't get to dwell much on it when Ariana rushes towards me with a worried expression. She searches me for any injuries while my father in law, Eli, stands behind her with an amused expression. “You really need to stop scaring me. Maybe just move in with me so I can take care of you.” She frowns once she's satisfied with what she sees. I bite my bottom lip as I hold back a laugh. Ariana King is a beautiful woman. And I may have forgotten what kind of relationship we had, but these past weeks, I've been able to experience so much love from her that it makes me want to cry. She always looks like a mummy bear, ready to jump on anyone who tries to hurt me. Noah mentioned that they suspect someone has been targeting me, and Alex is on it while Ariana has been on his back impatiently waiting for results,

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 52 ~ How do I tell him?

    ATHENA“Oh my beautiful girl! I haven't seen you in so long!” Giana smiles at me. I grab her wrinkled hands and place a kiss on them, “I'm sorry, Nana. I've been trying to get my memories back. I didn't want you to feel hurt.” I say truthfully.“Child, it's you. I love not your memories. I'm sorry you had to go through such kind of pain.” Tears well in her eyes, and I shake my head. “I'm okay, now. I promise.” Giana reaches out and cups my cheek gently, her touch warm and comforting in a way that makes my chest ache. “You don’t always have to be okay, sweetheart,” she whispers. “You’re allowed to lean on us. On me, on your husband.” I swallow hard, blinking back the tears that threaten to fall. Leaning on Alex sounds like horror. He'd probably rather die than listen to my confused thoughts. “I know,” I whisper, placing my hand over hers. She smiles softly, though her eyes still shine with worry. “You’ve always been strong. But even strong girls need someone to hold them up

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 53 ~ You don't know?

    ALEXTwo weeks felt like two fucking decades when I was away from her. Dad had me over see the new project and I didn't argue against it. I needed air, to recollect myself before I drowned in this woman.But Fuck me. It didn't do shit. If anything, it felt even worse. Every Night I had to fight the urge to call her, drop a text and that was the first time I've ever felt like doing such a thing. I've been with women. But it was only for sex. I fell in love with Leah, and I want to marry her but even she doesn't make my heart beat the way Athena does. It's chaotic, takes over your mind and brings you to your fucking knees. I've had tabs on her, calling Ryan every fucking second. Even he must notice I'm acting out of character. He told me she was in the hospital, but she didn't and that makes me mad. Why the hell is she keeping things from me? I was already on edge because of her trauma, but I had to leave. I needed a clear head but the moment I heard she was in the hospital, I wrapp

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 54 ~ He's mine

    LEAHI bite on my nails as I pace back and forth. My rage is so much I can't see clearly. How did that bitch steal my man? He was mine to begin with. I worked hard just to be noticed by him. I had to look perfect, study his likes, and dislikes, and study his schedule. I got lucky three years ago when he had that heart attack, luckily I was prepared. My mother gave me his medical file which showed he had a weak heart. For six months I moved with the medication knowing one day it will come in handy. So when he was finding it hard to breathe, It was me who saved him and he finally noticed me. All that hard work just for a lowly orphan girl to come and steal him?I mean, over my dead body. “Where are the results?” I snap, my eyes furious. I stayed away because I didn't want Ariana and Eli to see me. I didn't want them to know I work part-time in this hospital too. But I do. For a simple reason that is, I need eyes everywhere and even though I have minions I trust myself alone. The nu

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 55~ Kept it from me?

    ALEX“You don't need to worry about it. I have my people working on it.” I say to Leah as she watches me. “But-”“Let's talk later.” I cut her off. Unable to hold a longer conversation. My mind is going wild, and honestly, anything that has to do with Athena seems to drive me insane .Pregnant. The word echoes in my head on a fucking loop. I wouldn't ask how because I know what we've been doing the Past weeks. I however didn't think of the outcome. “Medical Director” is written on the door as I push it open. Many may expect an old man sitting behind that desk but it isn't. He's a genius and even though he was born in old money, he still deserves the position. “Look who decided to stop by.” Ian teases and I ignore him, placing myself in the seat opposite him. The bastard is the best in the medical field and genuinely one of the few I actually respect. “You know why I'm here.” I get straight to the point, having no time for pleasantries. Ian Quinn watches me before pulling

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 56 ~ Unexpected

    ATHENAI’m eleven weeks pregnant, and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Alex accepted the baby so easily.Well… accepted is an understatement. The man is thrilled.In the four-plus years I’ve known him, Alex has always been a wall of steel, cold, distant, and unreadable. But the moment he found out about the baby, something changed.He never misses a single appointment, insists on carrying my vitamins everywhere, and watches me like I might break at any moment. It’s almost funny. Almost.But beneath my quiet amusement, there’s guilt.Because no matter how much I want to enjoy this, no matter how much I am enjoying it, one thought keeps gnawing at me.Is this really happiness? Or is it just another illusion?I can’t shake the feeling that he’s only here because of the baby. Without this child, he would have already left.Left to be with her.I know better than to fool myself. Time doesn’t change everything.I’ve been married to Alex for three years, and in all that time, I

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 57~ Emotions for two

    ATHENAAlex: [ What are you doing?]I stare at the message while I stuff another spoon of ice cream in the mouth. I've been staying home while I think of what to do about my white coat ceremony when I receive a text from a man who has never sent me a message before. He's been there but physically speaking to me, never on the phone. Me: [Eating Ice cream]Alex: [Okay, we need to go somewhere?]I frown as I type in a response. Me: [Where? I'm eating ice cream.]I know that might sound ridiculous to him, but I feel like I'll die if I don't quench this thirst.No response. Ten minutes later, I still get no reply, which makes me shrug as I continue watching my anime series. The door opens, and Alex steps in. He looks incredibly hot.I mean, when does he ever look average. That blonde hair tussled from running his hands through it so much. His perfect suit with no line out of place. He walks over to me, and I freeze. Is he angry because of what I said? Now he's going to snap. Tears w

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 129 ~ Truly Happy

    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

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 128 ~ Her hate

    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

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 126 ~ Despised

    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

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 124~ Your fault

    ALEXThe walls of the hospital feel like they’re closing in.The lights overhead are buzzing too damn loud, the sterile air stings my nose, and the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall claws at what’s left of my sanity.I don’t speak.I haven’t said a word since we got here.I sit, with my elbows on my knees, my fingers locked tight, and my jaw clenched so hard it aches. Every part of me is burning, vibrating with a fury I’m barely keeping caged.Not at the universe. Not at fate.At me.I let this happen.I let Leah get that close.I fell for her lies.Over and over again.I believed her sob story. Let her manipulate me. And in doing so, I said the unthinkable to Athena. For the past five years, I've felt indebted to her. Not knowing I was a jackpot in her game. Pictures of me plastered on the wall in her secret room are drilled in my fucking mind. What a fool I've been.Me!Alexander King. Fooled from the word go and played like fucking ping-pong. I thought she saved me. Ima

    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

    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
