The room was chaotic. Bullets whizzed by, ricocheting off the walls, the sound of gunfire so sharp it felt like the air was cracking. My heart thudded against my chest, out of rhythm with the madness around me. My breath hitched, and my knees trembled. I had been here before, in a place where danger was a constant shadow, and the sound of a gunshot was the trigger that set off the fear in my veins.

I couldn’t move. My legs felt like stone, and my body was frozen in place. I was terrified. The gunfire, the screams, the frantic shuffling of feet... It was too much. Too much. It all blurred into a nightmare I couldn’t escape from.

Then, I felt it. Strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me into the safety of someone’s chest. Alexander. His warmth cut through the cold dread that gripped me, but it didn’t ease the terror. I didn’t want to be this close to him. I didn’t want him holding me. But his arms were around me, and he was guiding me through the panic, wa

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back     The Enemies We Wish To Conquer

    Lyvanne's POV…My jaw dropped like a lead weight, my eyes fixed on Alex, and his words penetrated my heart like a sharp arrow.He was kidding, right?“Lyvanne,” he finally lifted his head to look at me. He was quiet for a moment, his gaze on me, holding numerous unexplained emotions. “I…. I don't know how to convince you to believe what I'm about to say, but it's nothing but the truth.”I was dumbfounded, wondering if he was just trying to play with my emotions. Perhaps he wanted to see my reaction. “You…you are getting married to Isabella?” I stammered as I inquired, hoping for a positive response.“I’m sorry, but it was beyond my control, Lyvanne,” he explained. “I agreed to marry her so I could protect you from my mother, who was threatening to hurt you if I refused to marry Isabella.”“Oh please,” I snapped, rolling my eyes. “Don’t give me some silly excuses over something you planned yourself. I'm not a kid, Alex. Yeah, I know it will hurt, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't te

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    I'm Getting Married

    Alexander's POVLyvanne giggled, letting go of my hands. She sat straight on the chair, her hands folded above her chest. “I know you have a lot to say too, but I'm sorry that I'm being selfish for you to listen to my whole side of the story,” she let out, fighting her guilty conscience even though I didn't complain. “Alex, what if I tell you that I was innocent of the accusation that landed me in prison five years ago?”Her words rang in my ears, reminding me of the event that happened five years ago. I thought she had forgotten about that. Why is she mentioning it again? I was short of words as I stared at her with skeptical brows. She caused the demise of my child, and now she's trying to prove her innocence? I don't think I'm ready to discuss this with her. “I know you don't believe me,” she continued. “But the truth is your first love, Isabella, was never pregnant, and I can prove that if you want me to.”“Wait! What!” I exclaimed, adjusting myself on the chair. “What do you m

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Her Past

    Alexander's POV…“Do you care for anything?” Lyvanne asked even before I took my seat. “Not really,” I shook my head as I sat opposite her. “But you look so hungry. Lol,” she teased, a smile curving her lips. I don't think she was really concerned about whether I was hungry or not, but just to tease me to see my reaction. Perhaps she was up to something else. Who knows? But whatever she was up to, I hope this urgent meeting ends well, though.“Well,” I shrugged, crossing my legs. “Your voice, your smiles, and your words alone are enough to quench my hunger if truly I'm hungry as you said.”Even if I'm hungry, I'm not sure whether there's anything or anyone on this earth that can convince me to eat anything here. I have no evidence that I was poisoned here as Isabella claimed, but just because I don't trust Isabella's words doesn't mean I trust the staff here. Just to avoid suspicion from Lyvanne or problems that might arise in the future, I didn't bother to meet the restaurant man

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Dumbfounded

    Alexander's POV….Without wasting much time, I found myself on the road to the address Lyvanne sent to me. Although it was 1:20pm, I still considered going there early so I could wait for her arrival. I was eager—too eager to meet her and hear what she wanted to discuss. Yeah, even if she'll mention the proposal, I know how to convince her so as not to blame me for what happened. I would need to convince her to believe that the proposal wasn't done because I wanted to, but to protect her from my Mum. To protect her from the danger that was knocking on her door.My only prayers?I just pray she believes me because the last time we saw each other, it was written all over her face that she can't trust any word that came out of my mouth. But I'll try everything possible to convince her. Yes, she would have to believe me.As I exited the hotel, I didn't bother to inform Isabella that I was leaving. Why should I even do that? The environment was suffocating—too suffocating for me to stay.

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    The Proposal

    Alexander's POV The day was finally here. The day I wished it never came. The rooftop of the luxury hotel glittered beneath the city’s skyline, lit with thousands of fairy lights wrapped around crystal pillars. A string quartet played softly in the background, their music floating into the evening air. Everything about the night screamed perfection, exclusivity, expensiveness, and breathtakingness. But you know what? My chest felt hollow, as if all the diamonds that shimmered around them had been carved out of my heart. My Mum just has no idea the monster she's about to bring into her home as a daughter-in-law. Maybe she hasn't seen Isabella's real side because she has been hiding it from her, pretending to be a nice lady. While I sat pondering everything, Isabella sat across the table, smiling uncontrollably, and never concerned about how I feel right now. Isn't a proposal supposed to come as a surprise? Why is this particular one planned together with the person who's

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Sympathy

    Lyvanne's POV “I’m still trying so hard to believe what you're saying, Lyvanne,” said Vivienne as she sat on one of the couches, her leg crossed on the other, a glass of wine in her hand. “If this guy has been taking such risks just to prove how desperate he was to get you back, then I think it's time you give him the chance to come into your life once more. “What!” I exclaimed, clearly taken aback by Vivienne’s words. If someone ever told me that Vivienne would suggest such a thing to me, I wouldn't have believed it. “I can't believe you're saying this, Vivienne. Like, have you forgotten the pain I went through in the prison because of this same man you're asking me to give a second chance to? Do you even realize he was the reason my company's reputation was tarnished?” “Point of correction,” Vivienne cut in, a grin plastered on her face. “Your reputation was almost tarnished, but he intervened, which is why you should consider giving him a chance, Lyly.” “He intervened, you said
