“Why are you telling me to talk to him?” I asked slowly.

“Because,” he replied, his voice low and deliberate, “the guilty ones always overexplain when they think they’re in control.”

A chill ran down my spine as I listened to Rovan on the phone. It was beyond unbelievable that he knew almost everything happening around. This was supposed to be police work, not his.

“He doesn’t know that we know,” Rovan continued, calling for my attention. “Ask him about the route c

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    The Death of Officer Benard

    His words hit like a physical blow. My body went rigid, my eyes wide and unblinking like a statue. I couldn't say a single word. “Are you there?” Matteo called, but I didn't respond.I couldn't believe my ears. It might take me hours to process such news. “How…How did it happen?” I finally used the last strength I had and asked. “Gunshot wounds,” his response came almost immediately. “Execution style and no signs of struggle.”“Execution?” I gasped.My breathing turned shallow suddenly. Whoever was pulling the strings didn’t hesitate.“Yes, execution,” Matteo confirmed.“Any witnesses?” I inquired.“No,” he explained. “Not yet.”“Cameras?”“Disabled.”Of course they were. The people who carried out the operations knew exactly what they were doing.“Where is the other officer?” I asked slowly.“What other officer?” Matteo asked, confused.I froze a

    On my way home, Rovan's call came in. I stared at the phone for a while, hesitating if I should pick up the call. However, just when the call was about to end, I picked up. “Hey,” his voice echoed from the phone, softly.“Hi," I responded, releasing a deep sigh.“How did it end?” “Look, Rovan, I'm not in a good state to discuss that right now,” I responded, rubbing my temple. “All I need right now is rest, nothing much. And I will appreciate it if you allow me to enjoy that, please.”“Well,” his voice came in, sounding concerned. “I was hoping you could come over and spend the night here with me. I won't advise you to sleep alone in this state. What do you think?”“Thanks for your concern, but I don’t need anyone right now. I'm good on my own,” I giggled.“I’m not certain your place is the best place to spend the night, Lyvanne,” he inserted. “But I can come around and keep you company if you insist on sleeping at your place.”“If my place is not safe to spend the night, why not ma

    “Why are you telling me to talk to him?” I asked slowly.“Because,” he replied, his voice low and deliberate, “the guilty ones always overexplain when they think they’re in control.”A chill ran down my spine as I listened to Rovan on the phone. It was beyond unbelievable that he knew almost everything happening around. This was supposed to be police work, not his. “He doesn’t know that we know,” Rovan continued, calling for my attention. “Ask him about the route change today. Watch his reaction. Don’t accuse him. Just watch.”Silence set in after his words landed in my ears. It was getting more complicated than I expected.“Lyvanne,” he called me back to reality, causing me to flinch in fear.I swallowed and proceeded to speak.“Yes?”“Trust no one in that building.” He warned sternly.My gaze instinctively shifted toward the observation glass. Matteo stood on the other side watching.Was he

    “Because if I didn’t,” he said calmly, lifting his eyes to meet mine fully, “you would be dead by now.”For a second, I thought I misheard him because I couldn't fathom what he meant by that. Perhaps he was kidding. ‘Dead,’ he said? Nah, he's just pulling my leg to see my reaction.“What?” My voice dropped into something dangerous. I scanned through his eyes skeptically. “Do you think this is a joke?”“It’s not,” he said flatly. No fear, no panic. He was just certainty. Certain about what he was saying. No trace of jokes. I giggled and folded my arms across my chest as I stood above him, wondering what he was up to.This same young man here was the same person who came back to the living room at Vivienne's house to get Rovan’s phone. Why am I having this feeling that Rovan has a hand in what is happening to me? I'm certain that he sent his bodyguard to spy on me. His bodyguard can't just decide to do it without any reason.“Three days,” I started. “You followed me for three days. You

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    The spy

    Lyvanne's POV… “Look,” I said, lightly rubbing my temple with my left palm in frustration. “Right now I'm not in a good state. Whatever it is, just say it on the phone. I'll reply to all your questions.”“Then I'm afraid to tell you that you're not safe right now,” Matteo warned; his words were stark and sincere. “What if I share with you that your home that you're going to right now is not safe?”“What!?” I exclaimed, taken aback by Matteo's words. That was threatening.“What…what are you talking about?” My voice cracked, my ears itching for Matteo's response.“Come to the station for more information,” he responded yet with that seriousness once again. “Your safety is more important right now. You'll attend to your health challenges or emotional turmoil later. See you soon…”“Wait! Wait, Matteo,” I said repeatedly, trying to get a clearer view of what he was saying, but he had already hung up. “Gosh,” I exclaimed, claspin

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Complicated

    Vivienne's POV…As we sat back on the couch, we watched Rovan walk out of the room, hoping for Lyvanne to say something, but she didn't. I didn't either.Why should I?It's my first time meeting him. I never knew him to begin with.Immediately he was out of sight, my gaze finally averted away from the door to Lyvanne, who seemed lost in thought. I watched her for a few minutes, wondering what to say. I thought she would be happy to see Rovan considering what transpired between her and Alexander Saint earlier, not knowing I was wrong.I sighed in deep relief as I finally decided to call her back to reality by tapping her shoulder. She jolted, flashing her almost swollen eyes on me.“Gosh,” she clasped her palms against her face.“Sorry,” I apologized. “I didn't mean to scare you…”Before I could complete my words, someone stepped into the living room without knocking.“Sorry, ma'
