I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance Chapter 21: A Painful Reminder Of The Past
Beverly’s POVThe moment I dropped my demand, I saw it.The way Marcus’s face went pale, like he had just seen a ghost.His lips parted slightly, brows pulling together, eyes searching mine like he was—hoping—praying, he heard wrong.“You want what?”For a moment I just stared at him.Hell, I didn’t even know why I had dragged this out this long. It was the first thing I was supposed to do right from the moment I got back into this country.But I guess everything with Liam and Tristan had made it slip my mind, or maybe I just didn’t want to face it yet.Whichever it was, it didn’t change the fact that I was still bonded to him.“Yes. You heard me, Marcus.” I spoke, my voice still carrying that usual coldness.“I want that divorce already.”His jaw tightened at that. I watched it tick once, then twice. His tongue darted out briefly to wet his lips, like they had gone dry.“Beverly, I—”“No. Don’t.” I shook my head once, cutting him off before he could say anything, and he went still im
I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance Chapter 20: Petty Ex-husband!
Beverly POVMy hands shook slightly, my breath uneven against the steering wheel as I screeched the car to a halt in front of the familiar mansion—the location Liam had given to me.Marcus Mansion.The moment I looked up at it, a wave of nostalgia hit me so suddenly it almost knocked the air out of my lungs. Of course I remembered. How could I not?The last time I was here…My palm tightened on the wheel, fingers trembling harder now. My head throbbed as the memories pushed in without warning. The cold nights I used to spend on the floor. Years of verbal abuse and emotional torture.My chest tightened sharply, and I shut my eyes for a second, dragging in a slow breath through my nose and forcing it out through my mouth in a bid to calm myself.No, not now.I tried to calm myself.Somewhere in there Liam was battling for his life. I couldn't let my past… I couldn't let what happened here stop me from helping him.I swallowed hard, took a few more steady breaths until my hands stopped s
I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance Chapter 19: 'I'll Show Him How A Woman Should Be Treated'
Adrian POVIf there was one kind of person I wasn’t particularly fond of, it was people who were so nosy they couldn’t stay out of other people’s lives.People who hovered too close, too often, until they started to feel like something crawling on your skin—something you just wanted to push off.And that was Claire.One of the many reasons why I didn’t like her.Like I said earlier, I’ve got my eyes on only one woman.Beverly Hamilton.The woman in my diary. The only one who ever made every other woman feel… unnecessary in my eyes.And Claire?She was the opposite of everything I wanted. Too much. Too proud. And so full of herself. And the worst part was how she thought that because she was the Senator’s daughter, she could have anything she wanted.Including me.That alone made something in my chest tighten in irritation."You do know what you’re doing is inappropriate, right?" I said, my voice coming out calm even though my fingers had already curled tightly at my side. "Going throu
I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance Chapter 18: Adrian Cruz
Adrian POVThe familiar route that led to the Cruz Villa, one of my properties and the most expensive building in the whole of Michigan, came into view immediately as my driver turned the corner into the deserted street that led to the compound.My compound.A faint smile touched my lips as I took in the view.Seven years ago, this place used to be nothing but dust and dry grass, and I could still remember when I used to walk across it with worn-out shoes and empty pockets, sweat sticking to my back, my stomach tight from hunger.Now the entire land belonged to me.My fingers tapped lightly against my thigh as I stared harder at the land through the window, my chest rising slowly.Every inch of it. From the brick walls to the guarded gates. All of it belonged to me. Built from nothing but blood, sweat, sleepless nights, and sacrifices I didn’t like remembering.Funny how life works.Because people look at me today and all they see is money, power, and fame. They think I was born into
I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance Chapter 17: Man at the cemetery
Beverly POVAdrian Cruz.The name didn't just click in my head.It slammed into me. Like something sharp and cold pressed against the back of my skull.For a second I couldn't breathe as I stared at the man who stood a few feet ahead of me with his back slightly turned to me.The morning sun fell directly on him glistening his jet black hair and alighting the side of his face which I could see from where I stood.My pulse began to pound in my ears.No.It couldn't be.But it was.My fingers slowly curled at my sides until my nails bit into my palm. I barely felt the sting. My insides tightened too, twisting in a way that made me slightly nauseous. Not excitement. Not nostalgia.Something darker.Years had passed. Seven long years since I left this city. Ten since everything fell apart.Yet Adrian Cruz wasn't a face I could forget.Not after what he did.Not after the blood.Not after Mariam.My throat tightened at the memory of her name.Mariam Hawthorne.Marcus’s mother literally my
I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance Chapter 16: A Visit To Tristan
Next MorningBeverly POVI couldn’t sleep the previous night. How could I, when I had been told a piece of news so heart shattering it felt like my chest had been torn open and left bleeding?How could I, when I just found out that some anonymous people had paid her to keep shut on the truth about my son allowing me to wallow in lies for years because obviously they killed him and they didn't want the world to know.So all through the night, I sat by the window, unmoving, staring at the few pictures I had of Tristan it was the only thing I could do not to over think myself to death.They were pictures from when he was still a baby. One when he was barely one, chubby and smiling with his tiny fingers wrapped around mine. The last one from his second birthday, cake frosting smeared on his cheeks, eyes bright and innocent, shining with excitement he never got to grow out of.Even as dawn cracked open the darkness and gave way to morning, I was still there, sitting at the window side.
