~Avery~

All I could do was to keep a tight smile on my face as Scott and Allison did a little interaction at the other end of the room. I could see a bond forming between them, the one I denied him of years ago.

He barely glanced at me all these while. The wrong person was the one giving me her full attention. I was this close to splashing this hot tea on her face.

"You have a beautiful daughter. She also looks like her father"

I forced a smile. Hell yeah! She ought to be beautiful like her mother and look like her father because she was created with love.

"Yeah."

I'm not sure if Scott's wanna-be wife was too slow or just naturally foolish to keep her mouth shut despite my one word replies to all of her questions.

"I don't know if he already told you, but we do hope that you're gonna be present on our wedding day" I stared at her feeling a little confused. "Don't get me wrong, I just feel that we should all get along well since we'll be co-parenting soon"

  • 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

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 69_ Don't leave

    ~Scott~All these while, I've been wallowing in pain trying to convince myself that I can move on and heal from the pain she was causing to me. Boy, I was wrong. It only made me love her more. Every night I go to bed thinking and trying to imagine what was going on behind her closed doors. I tried to punish her but ended up punishing myself till I was cornered. I stared at the woman whose finger I was about to insert a ring. She's too good to be ruined by me, if we get married today, lives will be destroyed because my happiness lies in another woman. My gaze travelled to Stephen for the umpteenth time who is all alone, Avery and our daughter were not in sight. I could see that he was trying to hide something and I persisted. He gently raised his hand and copied a movement of something that flies. A plane! That explains the luggage she was packing when I called Allison that day and also why she allowed me to see my daughter without me asking. And while I was dressing, they were o

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 68_ Bond

    ~Ashley~I stood back watching the two speak in silence. They still had that father and daughter bond that they shared and I couldn't help but sniff. Wiping my tears gently, i approached them. Our flight is in the next hour and I wanted to be out of here before Scott's wedding starts airing. The sight might break me. Stephen and Allison shared a long embrace and I could see the tears forming in their eyes. Soon, they parted and began walking to me. This was it.. everything will fall in place as soon as I leave with my daughter. Everyone will be happy and live their life to the fullest. "I'm sorry that I couldn't give you both the life that I promised you" Stephen murmured handing Allison to me, he smiled at us but I could see the pain hiding behind that smile. "No, it's not your fault Stephen. You filled that empty spot in our lives with your presence and Allison and I can never repay you-"Repay me by staying. Don't leave-I shut my eyes briefly. If it were in my power, I'd have

    ~Unknown~I bowed slightly as I watched her step in. She was furious and barely acknowledged my greetings like I was even present there. "She isn't suffering enough! Everything has fallen apart and she still dared to smile!" She began pacing around pulling her study, every cell in her body screamed rage and fire. What else does she want? The lady who we were trying to get rid of has lost people closest to her and more. Those amounts of losses are enough to make people go insane or fall into depression but she still stood tall despite all that she has faced. "She's still smiling because of her daughter right? I'll cease that smile for good!" I was startled. Were we going after the kid now? My greed has trapped me in this mess and I'm not sure how to get out without getting killed. I watched her turn to the phone ringing on her desk. She picked it up and raised it to her ear. "She's still alive because I need her to be. I want her to watch everything she loves disappear before I

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 66_ Goodbye forever

    ~Avery~As promised, Scott sent the divorce papers to me through his lawyer the very next morning. The lawyer promised to come pick up the papers in two hours and my signature must be present on it. This was the fourth time I'm rechecking every clause just in case he left a clue for me like last time but I found nothing. His signature was already there and my real name was present too. All that remained was for me to sign and everything we both shared in the past will be over for good. My pen felt so heavy to lift up over the papers. I wanted to cry, scream and most probably curl myself up into a ball and wail even louder. The lawyer will be here anytime soon and these papers have to be signed before he gets here. Finally, I lifted my pen over each paper to put an end to everything. Mum was by my side to scoop me into her arms the second I started crying. Everything was gone, I came to the country with happiness and I'm gonna leave broken and dejected. This wasn't what I had pl
