“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 wa

    “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'

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Trust No One

    Lyvanne's POV… Vivienne and the young man, who were so engrossed in a discussion that needed no interaction, finally halted, shifting their gazes away from each other to me. His eyes widened more as his gaze fell on me. It was written all over him how much he had missed me, but whose fault was it that we missed contacts? Certainly not mine. “Look who we have here.” Before my friend could even say a word, he already took the lead. He placed the drink in his hand on the round transparent glass table in front of him as I heard my name escape his lips, “Lyvanne Morales, the most courageous and beautiful young businesswoman I have ever seen.” “Hey, don't just stand there like a statue,” Vivienne, who has been quiet since I stepped into the living room, finally spoke, standing up to usher me in as though I were a visitor. “Forget about whatever happened out there and come sit down to celebrate a new beginning. Perhaps a continuation of a beautiful life, girlie.” Holding my left hand, s

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back     Stay Away From Me!

    Lyvanne's POV…He came back the time I needed to be left alone. He came back when I didn't wish to set eyes on any man because right now, to me, all men are the same. They're all liars and monsters in human form. Why didn't he show up the time I needed him the most? Why now? Could it be that this is the right time I needed him the most and I'm too blind to see it? Because right now, I'm looking for a shoulder to cry on, but is he the right person? Certainly not.I'm still finding it challenging to believe what Alex just said. It was too hard, like a rock. Too challenging to digest. If someone had told me this was how it would end, I wouldn't have believed them. But now…at this moment…hmmm…I stared at the phone screen until the call ended. “I…maybe I can still figure out a way, even though it seems impossible at this point, but I can still try another means to convince my Mum, if only you can exercise patience,” he stammered as he spoke.Oh, he was trying to feed me some lies to ca

  • 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
