VERONICA

I stormed into my room and closed the door, leaning against it to catch my breath. My pulse raced, and my legs trembled, causing me to almost lose my balance.

I suppressed a rising feeling of anxiety as the recent encounter replayed in my mind—had it not been for Blake's timely intervention, the consequences would have been—No, no, no!

I covered my mouth, realizing the gravity of the situation.

Stupid woman! I scolded myself.

How could I lose myself in front of him? The man who hurt me, pushed me to the edge and forced me to leave my own son.— How could I be so shameless as to fall into his web? How could I react so pathetically in front of him?

Wasn't he murmuring her name in his unconscious state only? How could he behave that way?

I pulled my hair in frustration. Anger and embarrassment gripped me strongly. I felt like disappearing into thin air.

How could his presence still affect me even after the heartache he caused me? Fuck! Why did I even bother to check on him!?

    VERONICAUpon Celine's arrival, Christian immediately disengaged his hand from my arm. "What are you doing here?" he inquired, frown creasing his temple.Her gaze fell upon us, widening slightly, perhaps in surprise at seeing me. "Veronica—" she whispered.The situation became increasingly uncomfortable as I withdrew from Christian. First him, and now his lover— what unfortunate circumstances I find myself in!"Why are you here?" Celine inquired, her tone laced with suspicion. "Didn't you leave years ago? Why have you returned?" Her eyes held a cold accusation.I found her boldness rather amusing and met her gaze steadily. Raising an eyebrow, I let out a cold, bitter chuckle. "My presence here, you ask? How ironic! Apparently, none of you noticed the prominent nameplate at the entrance." I scoffed."I wonder if you're all losing your sight together? No worries, though. I can recommend some outstanding eye specialists for the sake of our old rivalry." Sarcasm dripping from my voice."W

    VERONICACeline immediately approached Christian, gripping his arm. "Christian, what is happening? Why are you remaining silent, danm it!?" She demanded. "Surely you aren't considering a reconciliation with the woman who abandoned you and Zeon years ago, are you!? And now—" Her gaze intensified, fixing on my daughter, whom I drew closer, trying to hide her from her poisonous gaze. "—and now she has a child with another man! Christian, I'm asking you something!" She cried out frantically.Her wailing polluted the peaceful atmosphere of my home, heightening my anxiety and anger."Enough!" I roared, glaring at the unpleasant couple before me.I was quite upset by their toxic behaviour, and in a moment of frustration, I raised my voice in front of my children, particularly Cadence. She is not accustomed to such volatile situations and becomes quite distressed.I immediately attended to my daughter, comforting her until she calmed down. As the unpleasant couple showed no sign of leaving, I

    CHRISTIANThose eyes—fiercely red, burning with rage. They shocked me to the depths of my very bones. In the five years of our marriage, I have never before witnessed such aggression from her. She is a calm and quiet persona.Was the displayed aggression truly necessary? Or, did I simply fail to understand Veronica's true nature?As I closed my eyes, memories of our unexpected reunion resurfaced. Her smiles, her confident demeanour, even her anger— all felt new and unfamiliar, as if I were encountering a completely new person who happened to share my ex-wife's features.I wonder if others feel the same way, or was it just me?—My thoughts were interrupted by a gentle touch on my arm. "Chris, are you okay?" Celine's voice followed next.I withdrew my arm from her touch and opened my eyes. She was leaning over me, her eyes filled with concern.I frowned, sitting up straight. "What are you doing here?" I couldn't help the curtness of my tone.Her lips pursed, biting on them as her eyes t

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 14 A mischievous trick

    CHRISTIANThe next morning, I woke to Blake's call. "What is it?" I asked, a little annoyed by the disturbance."Director, we have acquired most of the land for our resort project, with the exception of a few lands. One of these lands covers quite a good amount of the planned resort area. The owner, however, is unwilling to relocate." He sound frustrated.My already sour mood turned bitter. "Offer him twice the previous price," I ordered coldly."Director, we've already attempted that. However, they are unwilling to retract their position. It appears the property has recently changed ownership, and the new owner has declined our proposals."This is the problem with these small land owners. They're way too attached to their fields and create trouble in the work. However, minor obstacles are typical for large-scale projects, and I am accustomed to them."Offer more; if they still disagree, then proceed according to the law and evict them," I ordered and hung up the call.After awakening

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 15 He's the cheater...

    VERONICAApproaching the villa, I parked my car and then slowly ascended the steps with a racing heart. I'm finally here— at my ex-husband's residence, whom I have vowed to never see again. Now, he's back in life like a storm, threatening to crumble my walls.Despite my deep desire to leave, I can not. I have something precious to him for whom I am willing to endure my heartache and face him again. My son, Zeon, needs me, and I will not abandon him this time.A middle-aged woman on the doorstep received me: "Greetings ma'am, you must be Doctor Granger, our young master's mother?""Yes." I replied."Please come in, madam. Mr. Wolfe informed me of your arrival." She replied, maintaining a polite smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "I am Martha, the young master's governess." she added.Zeon's governess? I frowned. Wasn't it Aunt Zhao before? A kind Chinese lady. When was she replaced? My eyes in the Wolfe residence never informed me. Why? Perhaps she was replaced earlier than I plan

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 16 A sudden attack

    VERONICAI made haste to George's office, where he and Aunt Lucy were already in discussion. Upon my arrival, Aunt Lucy warmly embraced me... "Oh my sweet, I'm so glad seeing you." She said with a soft smile.Many years ago, following the tragic deaths of my parents, which left me orphaned, our family faced bankruptcy. All my relatives abandoned me, except for Aunt Lucy, my governess since childhood, who cared for me as if I were her own child. She is the only person I have remained in contact with since leaving Wolfe Mansion."I am doing well, Aunt Lucy." I reciprocated her embrace as we settled beside George's desk."How is my little princessi?" she inquired about Cadence."She is doing splendidly; I hope you will be able to visit her soon.""I shall, my dear. I miss her very much as well." she replied, gently squeezing my hand. "I trust you are aware of the situation. What course of action do you wish to pursue?" Her gentle expression shifted to one of concern.A wave of sadness wa

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 17 Remorse and helplessness

    READ WITH CAUTION** VIOLENT SCENE AHEAD—VERONICAA whiplash of iced water choked me as I coughed violently. White stars danced before my eyes, which intensified only as a hard slap followed on my face— "Wake up, you drab!" A harsh voice violently rang in my ear that suppressed with aching cries of a child.Despite significant physical weakness, the sound compelled me to open my heavy eyelids. "C-cad-dence!" I gasped.My daughter was held by a terrifying looking man, his fingers pinching her cheeks roughly. My little daughter was struggling and crying in pain."N-oo! Ple-ease!" I cried out. I wanted to rush to her, but I'm hopelessly tied up to a chair with shackles. "Wh-y are yo-u doing this to us?" I screamed at them, only to be laughed at.I don't know for how long we're here, nor I have no time to think about our whereabouts. I'm, in fact, unsure who these men are. I only remember being cornered by a car, then waking up in this dark room, tied up, with my daughter in their hands.

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 18 Am I even authorized...?

    CHRISTIANI gazed at the unconscious woman on the white hospital bed. Her pale, swollen face was red, and her head was wrapped in a thick bandage. The corner of her lips was bruised a dark shade of violet, likely a result of the hard beating.An involuntary ache and despair coincide within me as my eyes scan down her figure further. Her right hand was fractured and is now wrapped in a plaster. Her delicate skin has countless scratch marks, and some go deep."When will she wake up?" I questioned the doctor beside me, my voice running cold."It's unsure, Mr Wolfe. Her physical wounds are quite severe, and for the emotional distress— it's likely to leave her scarred for a long time." The doctor informed."Hmm." My gaze then fell on the cradle beside her bed where lay her daughter. She bore some scars on her body as well. Her left foot was bandaged due to a slight fracture. "And her?" I murmured."Thankfully, the child's scars are superficial, but the intensity of the violation gave her a

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 80 Blames...

    VERONICAI didn't waste another second and hurriedly woke up aunt Lucy. She was worried, so I only told her it's an emergency in the hospital before rushing there.When I reached my department's corridor, it was a mess. I hastily entered. I experienced a complete loss of feeling and significant coldness throughout my body.Nate and the other medical professionals were attempting to soothe the agitated woman.“Oh, Doctor Granger! You're here!” Nora said, breathing a sigh of relief.However, before I realised what was going on, a hard slap landed on my face. “Bloody bitch! You have dared to prescribe my brother wrong medication!”My face stung, as I stared at the woman in a daze. Wrong medication? “Impossible!” I murmured.She grabbed me by the collar, “Yes, you have made my brother's life impossible now! You have almost killed my brother!” She was violently assaulting me while other doctors and nurses were trying to stop the woman.“I will sue you! I will sue this hospital! You will pa

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 79 I can't forgive him...

    VERONICAI went to my room without looking back. I wasn't quite interested in getting involved in another stupid argument with Christian.Unexpectedly we met in the restaurant. He looked like he would start fighting like yesterday, but thankfully, he didn't, and I hurriedly walked out with Stan.Stan is my new neighbour and colleague. I was already feeling guilty about the way Christian reacted to him last night and did not want the repetition of the same event. However, while Stan and I were standing before my villa, he quite unexpectedly appeared.Was he following me?Christian’s behaviour was highly confusing and very irritating. I just don't understand what he was trying to do. He wouldn't talk normally. He would suddenly appear and blame me.This possessiveness would have melted me right away if it was some days ago, but now, it won't work on me.He didn't do anything to Celine. Perhaps she's still living in his place, and that's my biggest issue with him.I acknowledge his verac

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 78 Misunderstandings...

    CHRISTIANFighting with Veronica wasn't something I planned that night. Her words, her expressions, all felt as though She was pointing toward something I was unaware of.It was strange, so many of those criticisms didn't even make sense to me.For a moment, I felt as if she were subtly alluding to our time together as husband and wife. It felt as if she were blaming me for our divorce when she was the one who ran off with her lover.I considered arguing with her, but her expressive eyes dissuaded me. No matter what I thought, I couldn't find the words to speak when I looked into her eyes. Her eyes conveyed a feeling quite unlike what I had anticipated, and it confused me totally.Now, I am stuck. The entire night, I could only think of her words and found myself lost in a mess. The one thought that has lingered in my mind since our disagreement—Could I have been mistaken? Is there something I've overlooked?Unfortunately, I do not have an answer.The only person who can answer truthf

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 77 A new Colleague

    VERONICAAround two o'clock, I had some time for lunch. A little tired, I walked out of my room and went to the canteen. However, on my way, Dr. Hart called me to his chamber.Sighing, I changed my direction and went to Dr. Hart's chamber.Upon my arrival, he greeted me warmly, stating, "My MVP, please come in, Veronica.”I found his remark rather amusing. I understand his comment stems from William. When everyone was having a hard time with him, I somehow eased the situation. Although the credit didn't really go to me, it's probably because of Williams’s own wish, or else I couldn't have convinced him, even if I tried.“Ain't you overreacting?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow."I don't believe so. You are unaware of the consequences of your actions," he responded, rising from his seat."Was this the purpose of your call?" I asked, though I suspected otherwise.He shook his head with a smile, stating, "Not at all. Recall your patient, Mrs. Eden?"The name was instantly recognizable, an

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 76 The heated argument...

    VERONICA"Stay away from her!" Christian hissed at Stan, freezing me in the process.Stan immediately retreated, adopting a defensive posture, “Whoa, chill dude. I didn't even do anything.”Christian pushed me back, covering me with his body, “you better not.” His voice was all gravelly, and his eyes showed just how fierce he was.The atmosphere became strained. Stan briefly looked at me and stated, "I believe I should depart." He offered a casual wave, saying, "See you, neighbour," then, after exchanging a glance with Christian, he left."You really should," Christian hissed again.I patiently waited until Stan was out of sight, and then I retrieved my hands from Christian's tight grasp and glared at him.“What is wrong with you?” I couldn't help the annoyance in my tone. Wasn't he a bit ridiculous to do that? “You're unbelievable!” I snapped at him.His expression visibly darkened. “I'm unbelievable? Then you lying in his arms was fine?” he retorted angrily.“Lying in his arms?” I w

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 75 Get out!

    CHRISTIANUpon arriving home, I learned that my mom had taken Celine to the hospital. I didn't ask much, and the servants did not bother me either as I strictly asked them not to disturb me, and I went to my study.My workload was substantial, and recent events significantly impacted my ability to focus on resort-related issues.This afternoon, Blake informed me of the cessation of all support for the Williams family. He also informed me about their fraudulent deals using our names.So, this fraud runs in the family, no wonder.And by evening, I faced Mom. She had returned from the hospital with Celine, and perhaps she learned of my actions against the Williams family. As the Williams family found Mom easy to approach, they contacted her. But they forgot that they were dealing with Christian Wolfe.After leaving my desk, I proceeded downstairs in a calm manner and located them in the living room. Celine was weeping in mom's arms, and my mother was gently trying to comfort her.As soon

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 74 New neighbor

    VERONICAThis morning presented an unusual and rather pleasant departure from the norm. While I remain uncertain of Christian's true intentions, his declaration—"I never slept with Celine"—continues to resonate within my head.Is his claim of innocence truthful? Did he genuinely not have an affair? Or is this a calculated manoeuvre to prevent me from obtaining custody of Zeon?I've been stewing over it ever since I heard that, ugh! That guy really knows how to mess with my head!I leaned back in my chair with a sigh. Christian's behaviour is unpredictable, and I find his actions difficult to understand. Perhaps this unpredictability contributes to his success in business, but I question whether it translates to success as a lover and a father.Perhaps his unpredictability stems from a lack of affection toward me. However, his gaze this morning made me question that. His deep blue eyes seemed sincere, as if he were truly revealing himself. The way he held my gaze and spoke those words

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 73 Withdrawing supports...

    CHRISTIAN"What?" I was quite shocked. I hadn't anticipated receiving such news so early in the morning.“Ye-es…” My mother was crying on the phone, her voice trembling as she explained, “sh-she had ta-aken a large qu-antity of sle-eping pills.”“Christian, i-it's all my fa-ault.” She sobbed."Mom, calm down," I said, hearing the news. I was not sympathetic at all; instead, annoyance crawled within me.That woman attempted to harm Veronica and my children, and when she was unsuccessful, now she started playing a new trick, wasn't she? She wasn't the one to die, but this was all her plan to take attention, and my mother appears to have been ensnared in a fraudulent scheme or possibly complicit in it.Upon feeling a gentle touch on my arm, I observed Veronica's concerned gaze, her expression questioning. Her presence eased my mood, prompting me to take her hand.She blinked, staring at our hands, but didn't pull away, which made me smile inside."Christian..." Mom's voice came from the

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 72 I never touched her...

    CHRISTIANI observed Veronica quietly enjoying her breakfast while also feeding Cadence. She also seemed to be periodically checking on Zeon to ensure he was eating well.I felt a pang of jealousy watching her attention focused on the children. I wondered if she was neglecting me and if I mattered to her at all?I've contemplated this for a long time, but this morning, I realized she cares about me.I believe Veronica appeared somewhat flustered about the previous evening and seemed eager to leave my presence, so I playfully devised a small test. I was curious to observe her reaction to determine if her affections for me remained, and I was delighted to find that they did.She did not once think to rush to me and give in to my demands.Therefore, I chose to pursue her, and this time, I would not step back without a fight. William is no longer a problem since Veronica herself said she considered him a friend. Now, I will not let anyone come between us. I will do everything in my power
