Athena“Your mum sent me to pick up the documents,” I say flatly. I'm finally in the Royal Bastards office and it's taking all my strength to keep myself from smacking him.Maybe I should just sign those damn divorce papers.“Did you hear me?” I snap. Alex pauses, reaches over to his desk, and grabs a bottle of water before leaning back like he has all the time in the world. He watches me for a second, his expression unreadable. “What's with the attitude? Are you still sulking over the divorce?”“I’m actually celebrating.” I retort, crossing my arms. “I want to be as far away from you as possible.”Alex smirks, leaning against his desk like he has just heard the most entertaining line. “Funny. You say that, yet here you are. Always finding a reason to be around me. If you're so eager, why don't I have the signed papers on my desk?”“You'll have them tomorrow morning or tonight should you remember you have a-” I catch myself before saying the word home.“If you’ll be at the house

Athena I exhale sharply, ignoring her as I walk past, but her voice—sickly sweet and taunting—halts me mid-step. I grip the phone tighter, forcing myself to walk past her without a word, but she steps in front of me, blocking my path. “Poor, poor Athena,” she drawls, tilting her head. “Still playing the devoted wife? It must be exhausting, trying to hold on to a man who doesn’t even want you.” So the bitch knew and played dumb last time?I knew it!I inhale sharply, refusing to take the bait. “Move.” She chuckles, a slow, mocking sound. “Why? So you can go home and pretend your marriage is real?” She takes a step closer, her eyes gleaming with mockery “We both know Alex belongs to me. He always has. He always will.” I laugh, a real laugh I have to hold myself back. Now that I think about it, she wouldn't be here spewing nonsense if all was going her way so that means Alex still needs me to play wife. Lucky for her, I'm already too tired, “You’re so desperate to be impo

Alex“I love you.” Three words. I’ve heard them countless times before—soft, warm, and filled with sincerity. Mum and Dad say it to each other. Mum and Granny say it to me all the time. But hearing them come out of Leah’s mouth the other night? It made my skin crawl. It sounded foreign, misplaced like it didn’t belong between us. It didn’t settle in my chest the way it was supposed to. Instead, it made something tighten, something itch beneath my skin. I pulled away. Not obviously. Just enough to create distance, enough that I could breathe without feeling suffocated by the weight of words I wasn’t ready to hear. And that’s when I noticed her. AthenaRunning. Her black long hair whipped behind her, her pace quick. The way she left—like she was running from something—made my jaw clench. I had wondered for the past three days but since I had been busy with work I barely saw her. But seeing and hearing those remarks told me one thing.My wife was jealous and I liked it.W

AthenaI lift my head, my eyes blazing with something between anger and devastation.But he doesn’t care.She provoked me. That’s what I want to say, but I realize it won’t matter. He won’t believe me. Maybe he never has.“Say it.” His voice is ice-cold, sharp, and cutting through me like a blade.Alexander King has always been ruthless. Calculating. Cold. But this—this side of him is new even to me.This is the look of a man who always gets what he wants, and right now, my humiliation is what will soothe his anger.Too bad I have no interest in it. Leah may have been his first love but she is a pretentious bitch and it's annoying how Alex turns a blind eye.My lips press together. I’m stubborn, always have been. The urge to fight back burns in my veins, but his grip tightens on my wrist, a silent reminder that fighting him won’t get me anywhere.His face tells me I won’t leave this place until I apologize.How degrading is that?Here I am, in my nightdress, my knees forced to stay on

AthenaNoah stood in the living room, his hair a mess. He was wearing a T-shirt and dark jeans, which was rare to see since it seemed like the Kings had a thing for suits. Even Gia in her old age wore suits. I was always the odd one out in my jeans and Plain tops. “Why do you let him do this? You know Aunt Ari wouldn't let this go on if you just told her?” He takes a step closer. I almost laugh at that.Alex would kill me and burry me six feet under if I ever tried to do that.That's a known fact. But… deep down in my heart, I feel like this secret between us is the only thing that keeps me going. A sick part of me likes that we have something we share that no one else knows. “I'm not bothered by it.” I lie. Noah watches me. For a second I feel like he's about to argue but I was just humiliated a few seconds ago and had he walked in a few minutes earlier, he would have watched the scene like a damn movie in 3D. I exhale, forcing my emotions down. “Have you eaten?” I ask, changin

AlexThe door slams shut behind me as I take in the sight before me—Athena flushed and laughing, her head tipped back against the counter, a half-empty bottle of vodka between her and Noah.Am I losing my mind?Athena has always been laid back. Never did anything out of the ordinary. I liked to call her plain in my head because of how easy she was to read. But now, standing here, I'm starting to wonder who the fuck I married. My gaze locks onto the alcohol, then flicks to my wife. Her eyes are glassy, her movements slow. Fucking drunk.I shift my attention to Noah, standing too damn close to her. His casual smirk as he looks at me only fuels my anger and it feels like I just might kill my cousin.Have I missed something? I have always entrusted her to him. For pick-ups. Anything she needed I assigned him. But now I'm starting to wonder if by doing that I've been playing fucking cubid. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” My voice is cold, and sharp, demanding an answer.N

AthenaThe sharp crack of my palm against his cheek rings through the room. My chest heaves with fury, and my hands tremble at my sides. The audacity. The sheer, infuriating arrogance of him.My head is still tipsy but thanks to his insult. My mind is no longer foggy.Alex doesn’t flinch. Instead, his lips curl into a smirk, his green eyes darkening with something dangerous. Something possessive.But I'm mad as hell and he knows it. “You will not insult me!” I spit. Anger radiating off me In waves. But it's like this man is a wall because he doesn’t seem bothered. He takes one step back, placing his hands in his pocket before finding my gaze again. “You will not see him again.” His voice is low, but I heard him just fine. I scoff, crossing my arms tightly over my chest. “I’m not your wife, Alex. We’re getting divorced. I can do whatever the hell I want. Do you suffer from memory loss?”His smirk deepens, amusement flashing in his gaze as he takes a slow, deliberate step toward me.

Athena “If it isn't the little charity case.” An annoying voice stops me in my tracks, and I groan internally. Do I have to deal with this right before my exams? I turn to find Melanie and her usual group of followers standing by the hallway lockers, smirking like they’ve been waiting for me. Of course, they have. I bet it eats them up so bad that an orphan like me, with no financial backup, is attending the best and most expensive medical school. What they don’t know is that I’m backed by the Kings. And if they did, that smug look wouldn’t even exist. My parents were extremely gifted surgeons. They chose to help during a devastating flood, saving lives, and among the people they rescued was Giana King—Alexander’s grandmother. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t make it out alive. Giana felt indebted to them, so she found me, took me in, and promised to support me. Somehow, she ended up loving me like her own and decided I should marry her grandson. Let’s just say, Al

ATHENA“You really don't have to do this with me.” I turn to face Alex, who shocked me this morning and said he'd tag along my justice seeking trip.Luca must have snitched because he was there when I was making calls.“Yes, I do. I promise I won't get in your way. Just think of me as part of your security team.” He says, stepping closer to me.Which is crazy because I can't stand him. I sigh, but don't respond. Looking around, I quickly walk forward before this gets awkward. Ryan opens the front door like we own this place, and it's hilarious. The police have had the Woods resident on lockdown, so I'm certain no maids are home. Alex steps to the side, allowing me to step in before closely following me behind. The marble floor is pristine under my heels as I step in. It smells of wealth, waxed wood, and expensive looking paintings.They killed a child.And they’re going to pay for it.I'm taking everything they have. Starting with this damn house. The trial was two days ago, an
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 t
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 underst

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, pou
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 130 ~ The fifth
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 an

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 yo
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 Lea
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 take
