Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 87~ She's trouble
ALEX“You don't want this anymore? Am I too much?” Tears well in her eyes and I sigh. You see the difference, when she cries it does nothing to me. But when Athena…Fuck!“Get In I drop you home. I have to rush back to the office.” “Okay.” She gives me a smile and steps closer, placing a kiss on my cheek. Opening the car door, I seat in my driver's seat before glancing back at Rayen. He’s quiet in the car seat, clutching the little bunny plushie he refuses to sleep without. His eyes are wide and uncertain as he watches me. I run a hand down my face and exhale slowly.I’m supposed to protect him.But how the hell do I protect him from ghosts that won’t stay buried?Leah is buckling up when the question slips out of my mouth.“Rayen, buddy?” My voice is soft.His wide eyes look up, “Yes, Daddy?”“Why did you call Ath- that woman that?”Leah flinches slightly, her voice suddenly softer as she responds instead. “Haha, Alex, you can't tell me you're thinking so deeply about that! Maybe

ALEX“Pour me a drink,” I demand the moment I walk into the room and throw myself on Ian's office couch. Iann looks at me like I’ve grown a second head.“Hello to you too,” he mutters, rolling his eyes halfway.Iann and I have been best friends for five years now. Met at some dull conference and clicked, rare for me. But I guess Luca will just have to suck it up.He’s a petty bastard that's for sure. When Ethan threatened to expose my illness over his damn cousin, I was furious at Iann. Thought he’d sold me out. But then I realized... he hadn’t taken sides. He stayed neutral because, as he put it, “I take my career very seriously.”He didn’t betray me. Which left one question:Who the hell did?It couldn’t have been Leah. If anything, that secret is the only thing keeping me tethered to her. Why burn her leverage?“You're a shitty host.” I mutter.“I'm not hosting anything. Besides, this is a hospital office and not a pub. Also, you're supposed to stay away from alcohol!”“It’s not

ATHENA“Dr. Dawson, explain what can cause a series of cardiac arrests,” Leah’s voice slices through the room like a damn Scalpel. My heart sinks.Of course she’d call on me. Of all people.It’s been two days since I saw her son since Rayen threw his arms around me like he knew me from another lifetime. Since Alex stared at me like the world had tilted sideways.I hate that bastard but I'm grateful that he helped me with my panic attack. I've been getting help, and it's better, I actually thought it's gone. So I guess I'll have to see D.r Quinn and let him know. I would have kept it a secret, but it won't help me, and if I'm going to take care of my patients, then I need to be my best self.I’ve been trying to breathe normally ever since Alex's hands held me so tightly like I would slip out of his hands if he loosened even a little. I hate how fast my heart was beating. I hate him. Maybe I should have hit his head for touching me.Help or not!Maybe that's why her royal highness was

ATHENAIsabelle's lips curl into a small but encouraging smile. “Alright. I’ll be there. But you, Dr. Dawson will be the one leading the operation.”My stomach drops at the thought. “Lead? But I’m not ready for this. This is a complex case. I don’t think-”She raises a hand, cutting me off. “Listen. I know what you're thinking, but you've been trained for this moment. You know the procedures, the protocols, and the risks. You're ready. Don’t let your doubts cloud your skills. I’ll be there every step of the way, ready to back you up if needed. But you’ve got this. Believe in yourself.”I swallow hard, trying to push down the anxiety that’s rising like a tidal wave in my chest. My palms feel clammy as I grip the file in my hands tighter.“You can do this, Athena,” Isabelle continues, her voice soft and reassuring. “I'm sure you’ve been through worse. This is no different. You’ve got the knowledge, and more importantly, you’ve got the heart. I’ll be right behind you.”Her words give me

ATHEN“Hi mum, Dad."The words leave my mouth barely above a whisper as I crouch beside the two headstones, brushing away the dried leaves clinging to their bases. I was given a leave day so I could visit my parents' grave. for their memorial I came here every year and sadly this is the first time I’ve visited with good news. Tears blur my vision as I trace my fingers over the engraved namesElena and Marcus Dawson My parents. My everything.“I’m sorry,” I whisper, my voice cracking like brittle glass. “I should’ve come sooner.”The guilt coils tighter in my chest, like a vice. Last year, I couldn’t bring myself to step foot here. I was drowning in pain, in fear, in the crushing weight of being told I had killed my own son.“Carry on the legacy.” Mum always said to me, but how can I when I can barely hold myself together? Every night, as I cried myself to sleep, I could hear Dad’s voice in my head, stern but kind, telling me to stand tall. I could see Mum’s soft smile, always bel

ATHENAMy breath catches. “What?” I whisper. My fingers tighten around the strap of my bag as suspicion, curiosity, and confusion tangle in my chest. “That doesn’t make sense…" What kind of task?” He doesn’t smile, but there’s something soft in his eyes. “They knew you’d be here at one point. Your mother planned this visit down to the year. She said you'd come when you were ready.” I stare at him, finding the whole ideal ridiculous, “I have been coming here every year-”“Except last year.” He interrupts me, and my heart jumps to my throat. Is he a stalker?Everything inside me screams to be cautious, but something else, a deeper pull, urges me forward. The way he said their names. The certainty in his voiceCall it a hunch or stupidity, but I feel like I can trust him. “Where are we going?” I ask, my voice quieter now. He exhales slowly, almost like he’s relieved I didn’t walk away. “Just a short walk. There’s a box… in my car. Your parents left it for you.” I hesitate fo

ATHENAOne month later….“You know,” Sloane says, tossing a bag of tortilla chips into the cart with flair, “I think my uterus has grown cobwebs. Literal. Freaking. Cobwebs.”I snort so loud a nearby toddler swivels to look at me. “Sloane!”“What?!” she grins shamelessly, pushing her sunglasses up on her head as she saunters past the cereal aisle. “It’s been so long, Athena. I’m talking ghost-town, tumbleweed-rolling, 'CLOSED FOR BUSINESS' kind of long.”Isabelle snorts behind me. “Okay, now I’m picturing cobwebs… down there. Thanks for that.”Sloane shrugs, utterly unfazed. “I’m just saying, if a hot guy so much as smiles at me, I might combust. Or cry. I’m not sure which yet.”I laugh, catching my breath as I toss a bag of apples into the cart. “This is what I missed. You two and your incredibly vivid metaphors.”“Well,” Isabelle says dryly, “that’s what happens when your love life is non-existent.”I laugh at that because it's true. Well… at least for me.Isabelle is too busy with

ATHENAAlarm shoots through me for a second. “Wait… so you’re in here alone?” He shrugs. “I like the cheese aisle.” “Well, you clearly have good taste,” I murmur, then glance around again, making sure no one’s watching. “Okay, I’ll walk you to the entrance so you can wait safely for your dad, alright?” He shakes his head, arms folded stubbornly. “Nope. I’ll only go if you promise to play with me.” I blink. “Play with you?” He nods, his curls bouncing. “You can be the queen, and I’ll be the knight. And then maybe we can eat cheese.” I try not to laugh, but a giggle slips out anyway. “That's a very specific bribe, little man.” Rayen beams. “So, do you promise?” I’m about to answer when I hear a voice behind me. “She doesn’t usually make promises to men under four feet, but you might be the exception.” I freeze. I slowly turn, and there he is. Alex. Standing a few feet away in a white button up shirt, sleeves pushed up to reveal his smooth forearms, a coffee in

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
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 123 ~ Shot
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
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 122 ~ Can't get away with it!
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

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
