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

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    The Truth

    Lyvanne’s POV…“And who is this person?” I finally asked, eagerly anticipating his response.He shook his head slowly and then turned around and faced me. “No, Lyvanne,” his response finally escaped his mouth, showing no trace of jokes.He wasn't ready to reveal who it was. Nice.“Matteo,” I called, hoping for a change of mind, but I got it wrong.“No,” he insisted.“You owe me that much!” I spat, pointing my index finger at him. His expression hardened as he closed the space between us. His eyes narrowed, never leaving me.“I owe you nothing,” he growled in response.Silence ruled between us for a while, the atmosphere becoming more intense than before. I didn't see this coming.“They promised you something, didn’t they?” I finally broke the silence that was taking time to end.He was stunned into silence upon hearing my words. His suspicious gaze scanned through my eyes to find out how I got this information, but did anyone tell me that? Nope, but I was certain he wasn't working f

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Someone Else Wanted You Gone

    Lyvanne's POV...And the message read as:“Benard wasn’t the problem. Matteo is.”My blood ran cold immediately after I read the message. I remained still for what seemed like ages intensively staring at my phone screen. I should have known from the beginning.Unfortunately, as I was still fighting hard trying to digest the message, another one came in. And it said:“Check Benard's CCTV footage from 2:13 a.m. last night. Deleted, but not erased.”Now everything was getting clearer, but my question is, how did Rovan manage to get all this information? Hmm…well, that should be a topic to discuss with him later. For now, let's end the one at hand.Lifting my head slowly, I looked at the far end of the corridor, and I saw Officer Kareem standing watching me.However, when our eyes met… He quickly looked away. Upon seeing that, then I was certain he wasn't clean as well. To me everyone around here is a suspect.As I sighed in deep relief thinking of my next move, the message on my phone f

  • 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

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    The Truth Coming to Light

    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

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Fear

    “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

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    Even if you hate me, I will protect you.

    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

  • Dear Ex-wife, Please Come Back    I Never Trust You

    I stared at the screen of my phone, the call ringing for the third time, each tone echoing in my mind like a warning bell. A part of me wanted to throw the device across the room. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk to him—I simply didn’t trust him, and that feeling was as suffocating

    I could feel the tension crackling in the air before I even swung the office door open. My fingers hovered over the doorknob, a confident smirk lingering on my face as I replayed the earlier messages in my mind. Watching Lyvanne’s frustration boil over was strangely satisfying—it w

    (Lyvanne’s POV)I stopped abruptly when I saw Matteo.The moment our eyes locked outside the hotel entrance, my pulse quickened. How did he know I’d be here? There was no way it was a coincidence. With Matteo, everything felt orchestrated. His approach was smooth,
