Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 148 ~ I know your secrets
ALEX I knew it the second Luca dragged me into the damn restaurant, waving some bullshit excuse about trying a new steak, I'd regret it.I was having a good week and was looking forward to seeing Athena. I had to leave the following morning because I had a work emergency. But I had Ian and Isabelle ensure she did her tests. The meeting turned to shit and I had to stay out of the country for some days till It was fixed. Seeing it was only 7PM and Athena only got out at 10PM, I gave into Lucas's annoying demand.But nothing could have prepared me for this.Her hand in his.His thumb stroking over her skin like he owned it.And that look, that look in her eyes when he leaned in.I felt my blood freeze.Then boil.She was about to kiss him. She was actually going to kiss Zayan.I could have killed men for less.The sight before me rips something open in my chest. All the progress I thought we were making laughed me in the face.Was there ever progress?Standing here, watching the wom
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 147 ~ As your man
ATHENA “Thank you for saving me the other night.” I smile at Zayan, who looks at me with a confused face. I was afraid for my life, and now I realize my biggest fear is dying and leaving my young son. God, that wrecked me more than the cold did.I was lucky to have been found early, and after Ian did the scans, he discharged me, and I'm back at work."You had some concussion, but I'm glad it was temporary and all is good now. Don't stress and I'll also move you from ER for a while untill you're better." He had said. I would have argued but that would have been selfish. So I reluctantly agreed. “Saving you from what?” Zayan pulls me back.I laugh.Typical Zayan. “I know you don't like it when I say thank you but truly. I appreciate you.” “Athena. You're confusing me. What are you talking about?” He asks as the waiter places my plate of steak, which Zayan picks up and cuts into small pieces before giving it back to me. “Are you serious right now?” I ask, setting my fork down.Za
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 146 ~ Is this Karma?
ALEXI glance at her. She’s staring out the window again, her voice light like she’s making a joke, but she’s not smiling. Which means she's seriously thinking this through.She just looks... tired. Fragile. Far away. I bet she doesn’t even realize what she’s said. But I do.My hands tighten around the wheel.My throat dries out, and for a moment, I forget how to breathe.She thinks I’m him.She thinks I’m that fucker Zayan.Just what has he been doing that has made her want to be with him. Even my stupid cousin doesn't come this close. Is that why she allowed me to hug her?I want to say something, correct her. But the words get lodged in my throat like glass shards.If I tell her the truth right now, if I remind her of who I am. Won't that bring back everything she just went through... would I be helping her or hurting her more?Thinking this whole thing through, I decide it's best to stay silent as I continue to drive.But as the silence stretches, the pain sharpens, like a blade
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 145 ~ Why is she calling me that?
ALEX"I'm not sure, boss. The medical team has yet to assess her."The call ends before I realize I’ve hung up.My foot slams the gas, the tires screaming as I rip back onto the road.Two miles northeast. I repeat it like a prayer. Like it’ll bring her back to me faster.The rain has now reduced to showers, which makes it a whole lot easier to see.She was screaming.That sound... it’ll haunt me forever.I’m soaked to the bone with my teeth clenched and my hand a death grip on the wheel. But I don’t care. I’ll drive through fire if I have toThen, through the showers, red and blue lights appear in the distance, flashing, pulsing sirens faint over the sound of my speed.I slam the brakes just behind an ambulance.I barely put the car in park before I’m out and running toward Athena.“Alex!” Ian meets me halfway, already pulling off his gloves. “She’s awake and stable for now, but still in shock. I need to scan her for internal injuries. We can’t risk moving her too much.”I don’t hea
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
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 143 ~ Should have waited
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
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 142 ~ Emergency
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,
