~Avery~

All throughout the night I kept turning and tossing on my bed. My mind drifting back to the encounter with Scott. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake off this unsettling feeling creeping in at the back of my mind.

What does he really want? Was he trying to tell me something? But what more could he say to me other than what I had witnessed myself? There was no point giving him a chance to speak when all he does is to tell lies.

“Get out of my thought Scott”

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of little whispers next to me. My eyelids fluttered open. The view that came before my face was blurry but I could make out two figures peering at me intently with little giggles at intervals.

“She’s waking up!”

My eyes cleared up in an instant. I sat up with a deep crease on my forehead. Before me stood Allison and Stephen. Only the heavens knew how long they have been standing there and watching me sleep. I tucked my face down into my bent elbow to wipe off any trace o

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 75_ Babies

    ~Stella~Today was the day Aaron and I agreed to take the kids on a stroll around the streets of london. Most times they don't even realize anything because they were mostly asleep. Or let's just say; Aaron and I just want to take a stroll around the park but there's no one to leave the babies with so they just tag along with us. On the streets, we gained lots of attention as we pushed the two strollers, two babies in one and the other occupied a single one. Each had a red balloon attached to a long string tied lightly around their wrist. They appeared happy and full of giggles as they watched the balloon float on air. The string was long enough to avoid the kids from inhaling the helium just in case it burst open.The two babies in one stroller are twins and they're mine while the other belongs to Aaron, he is a single father since his wife passed away during childbirth. "Are they triplets?" A random old lady stopped in front of the strollers admiring the three babies who were

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 74_ Cold

    ~Stephen~I made a decision to leave the country exactly a year and a half ago when I couldn't stand to see the woman I loved getting married to another man. It was the bravest decision I have ever made in a while. I left for london to grow my business and name over there. And a few weeks later, i heard on the news that Avery and Scott were getting married. I was invited but I politely declined the invitation and my reason was well understood by the couple.All these months, no one heard anything from Stella and till date, I still try to call the number she last used to text me. Her last text message was like a lullaby I read every night. I just couldn't fathom why she left everyone because of a one night affair between us. We could have settled things between us like matured adults that we were but she chose to leave instead. I placed my phone aside and ran a hand over my hair. Till this day, I still think about her. And the way she teased and taunted me every now and then, ther

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 73_ Attack

    ~Avery~"Get an inhaler, she's having an asthma attack!" I raised my head when I heard Scott yell from across the room, a little confusion settled in as I tried to wrap my head around everything. The whole place was thrown into a frenzy, Tina has never been diagnosed with Asthma so what was going on?. My parents worried face fell on her, she had her head facing down while she continued to breathe in and out with difficulty. "She's gonna die anyways, so let's watch her die-Anna started but was stopped by Ella. "No one dies here without my permission. Go get an inhaler" I silently observed everything that was going on without the slightest awareness of what it could be. My younger sister was gasping for breath and every other person was worried. Shortly, the man returned with the inhaler and Tina was untied from her chair. Ella and her partner watched closely at Tina who now had the inhaler in her mouth. Their attention was now divided, now I could understand where this was all

    ~Avery~"Please don't" If my pleas did anything, then it only made the two feel good about themselves. Ella's eyes sparkled as she watched the water slowly dripping into the cubicle. Allison was still unconscious, she was made to sit in the cubicle and her clothes began getting soaked up. If that water keeps going on at that pace, in less than thirty minutes my baby would be drowning. I shut my eyes tightly shaking my head. I won't be able to bear the sight. I noticed she gave orders to some men and soon they returned with another hose and began pouring the liquid all over the others who were still unconscious. Slowly, each one of them started moving and soon they were aware of their current location. Scott struggled but relaxed a bit when his eyes met mine. I saw his face pale when he stared at the glass where Allison sat. "Allison! Avery.." Ella and Anna were both piqued after all, this was the same man who abandoned them at the aisle to come to me on different counts. It's

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 71_ Danger 2

    ~Scott~So this was the feeling of having your complete family with you. For years I have longed to fill the emptiness settling deep inside of me but no one else could fill that spot. I stared at the rearview mirror watching the two giggle and say things randomly. I felt at ease watching them. This was just the beginning of our happiness and I could tell. "I love you both so much" Avery raised her head to stare at me, she chuckled and blew a kiss at me. "And we love you more" I took my eyes off the road for one second to stare at them, then I saw Avery's smile slowly fall until she pointed to the road. "Scott!" That was all I heard before something rammed into our car. I could hear Avery and Allison scream as the car kept on spinning till it hit one of the bridge pillars. Everything was still and everywhere turned dark immediately. ****~Avery~By the time I opened my eyes, I gasped sitting up immediately. I could feel a throbbing pain shooting through my head and numbing my b

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 70_ Danger 1

    ~Avery~I never expected Scott to show up at the airport just as soon as I'm about to leave the country. He looked haggard and all sweaty. The only people who knew about my travel are Stephen and my family. Deep down, I was very happy. Happy that he came this far to stop me from leaving the country. Then it dawned on me, he abandoned his bride on the aisle. No woman should ever have to go through that shame and humiliation. I thought he loved her and that was the reason he chose to get married to her today. "I'm sorry" I said softly allowing the tears to break out from my eyes. I held Allison by her hand and turned around only to hear his next words. "Avery! Please don't do this.. I love you" My heart froze and time stopped around us. A shaky smile crawled on my lips and I was forced to turn around to him. His eyes turned red as tears lingered, the protective shield I built around my heart broke. "I swear, I love only you and I can't imagine my life without you in it" he breath
