Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A Night Of Surprises
Andrea’s POVChapter 28As I sat in the car, being driven back to the hotel with Jake, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. A slow smile crept onto my lips.The meeting had gone well—better than I had expected. I had been nervous at first since it was my first time meeting foreign investors, and I didn’t want to make any mistakes. But my father had trusted me to handle it, and I was glad I didn’t mess it up.Even Jake seemed pleased with my performance. Not that I cared what he thought, but his words—“You did well”—felt like a genuine compliment to my efforts.Jake had been quiet since we got in the car. I turned to glance at him and saw that he was focused on his phone. I guess even Jake has quiet moments.I shifted my eyes to the window and frowned. Something felt off. The route wasn’t familiar. The buildings outside were different, and the street signs were ones I didn’t recognize. A nagging uneasiness crawled up my spine. This wasn’t the way back.I had always been good

Chapter 29Every step Jason took toward me felt like a stab in my heart. This had to be a dream. Of all the places in the world, why did he have to be here? I could barely breathe. It felt as if time had stopped, trapping me in a moment I desperately wanted to escape. The soft music playing in the background, the murmurs of people chatting beside me—all of it faded into nothing.I could see nobody but Jason right now.My head was spinning. I was not ready to face him. I wasn’t prepared for what was happening. What was I supposed to do? I had tried my best to bury every memory of him, but here he was, walking toward me, smirking like he still had control over my life.A suffocating pressure wrapped around my chest. My fingers curled against my dress, my entire body on the verge of shaking. I felt like I was about to pass out. My heart pounded so loudly that I was sure Jake could hear it.“Andrea.”Jake’s voice was calm and steady. He reached for my hand, gripping it firmly, trying to s

Chapter 30Jason’s POVI didn’t hear a single word the man beside me was saying—my whole focus was on Andrea. I sure wasn’t expecting what I got tonight. When I caught sight of her, at first, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had been turning the city down searching for her, but never in a million years did I think I would meet her at this event.I had just walked away from her, but my blood was still hot from our conversation. I could still see the fire in her eyes, hear the sharp edge in her voice, and the way she dared to speak to me like I was beneath her. She was nothing like the woman I had once crushed under my heel.That wasn’t the Andrea I had left behind.The Andrea I knew had been weak, desperate to please me, willing to crawl if it meant earning my approval. The Andrea I had discarded should have been nothing more than a broken shell, a shadow of the woman she once was.My body was still filled with so much rage. The anger in me was enough to burn this room down.Andrea betray

Chapter 31Andrea pov I had thought of different ways I would confront Jason when I finally met him.Every morning, I stood in front of my bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection, practicing how I would handle Jason. I imagined myself standing tall, my voice steady, my words cutting through him like a blade. Sometimes, in my mind, I would smirk as I watched the realization dawn in his eyes—that he should never have underestimated me.But tonight…Tonight had been nothing like that.The moment our eyes met, my breath caught in my throat. My body trembled, and everything I had practiced vanished from my mind. To think that I had almost let my fear control me, that I had been on the verge of running away—if not for Jake, who had spoken sense into me.I just wanted to get to my room, have a drink, and get some sleep. I was exhausted from the whole drama that had unfolded tonight.I swallowed hard, pressing the elevator button with more force than necessary. A hollow feeling curled in m

Jake’s POVChapter 32Her lips were on mine.Soft. Warm. Hesitant.For a second, my entire world stopped.Deep down, I knew this was wrong. I knew we shouldn’t be doing this. But I felt trapped, caught in a moment I hadn’t seen coming.Andrea’s hands clung to my shirt at first, but then she slowly moved them, sliding up to the back of my head. Her fingers curled into my hair, caressing it softly. I heard the faintest sound—a low, breathy moan escaping her lips.My body betrayed me.I wasn’t supposed to let this happen.I wasn’t supposed to want it.But I did.Just as I felt myself sinking deeper, reality crashed down on me like a violent wave.What am I doing?This wasn’t supposed to happen.Andrea wasn’t in the right state of mind.I was taking advantage of her vulnerability. It didn’t matter that she kissed me first—she had been drinking, she was hurting, and I should have stopped it the moment her lips touched mine.This isn’t about me. This isn’t about what I want.I forced myself
Last Updated : 2025-03-16Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A Mistake to be forgotten
Chapter 33Andrea’s POVThe room was unbearably silent after my conversation with Jake.I had thought that talking to him about last night would make me feel better, but embarrassment, anger, and frustration still boiled inside me.My drunken state wasn’t an excuse for my behavior. I still didn’t know why I had let my emotions get the best of me. What I did was reckless.When I first woke up, for a brief, blissful moment, I had forgotten the mess I made.I reeked of alcohol, my head pounding like a drum. I remembered walking into the bar, just to get a few drinks. I remembered Jake showing up, his expression unreadable as he approached me.And then—nothing.A blank space.I stood up to brush my teeth and take a nice bath, but as I glanced at Jake—sleeping peacefully—the flashbacks came flooding in.My heart sank.I felt my knees go weak, and I just dropped flat on the floor.How could I have let this happen?How could I be so stupid?I squeezed my eyes shut, but it was useless—the fla

Chapter 34“I’m bored,” I muttered to myself, stretching my legs out on the couch.Since Jake left in the morning, I had done nothing but drown in my thoughts. The hours dragged on, each one stretching endlessly as I replayed everything I shouldn’t be thinking about.The room felt empty. Too empty. I wasn’t fond of having Jake around, but without him, there was a strange silence that made the space feel even bigger than it was. I sighed, shaking my head. What am I even thinking?I threw my head back against the couch, exhaling loudly. Just lying here was tiring. I needed something—anything—to pull me away from this endless cycle of thoughts.Grabbing my phone, I started scrolling through random pages, but nothing held my interest. Then, something hit me—I hadn’t received any of those cryptic messages lately. I had been so busy that I hadn’t even noticed. My brows furrowed. Maybe the good-for-nothing bastard finally decided to stop messing with me.I tossed my phone onto the table and

Chapter 35I felt my body hit the hard ground. My eyes were still squeezed tight.Was I dead?I tried moving my body, and it moved. I could still hear people around me. My body ached a little, but I didn’t feel any severe pain.I’m alive.I slowly opened my eyes. At first, I couldn’t see because of the tears that had gathered. I blinked twice, and my vision became clearer. I could see people, and their eyes widened in shock. But something was off. They weren’t looking at me—they were looking beside me.What’s going on?A bad feeling crept into my chest.I turned my head—and saw Jake, lying on the ground, motionless. To make it worse, I saw blood pooling beneath him.“Jake!” I screamed. My whole body was shaking. I couldn’t comprehend what was going on. How did he get here?I pushed myself up and ran toward him. Sweat dripped profusely on my face. I knelt on the floor beside him.“Jake,” I tapped on his chest. “Jake, I beg you, wake up!” He didn’t move. Fear gripped me. I was scared

Ex-Husband’s Nemesis A sudden blow
Chapter 103 It had been three days since I woke up in the hospital. Three days of trying to focus on the sunlight coming through the window instead of the shadows still living in my head. Three days of seeing my parents’ tearful faces, feeling the weight of their worry every time they looked at me. And three days of Jake not leaving my side, not even once. This morning, he was on the couch, curled up awkwardly with one arm over his face. He looked uncomfortable but peaceful, like he hadn’t had real sleep in days. A tray of untouched food sat on the table beside him. He hadn’t eaten much since I got here. “Jake,” I called softly, my voice still scratchy. He shifted, pulling his arm away from his eyes, blinking at me like he wasn’t sure if I was really awake. “You can go home,” I said. “You’ve tried already. My mum can stay with me. You should freshen up and sleep properly.” Jake sat up slowly, rubbing his face. “I’m not complaining.” “I know,” I said. “That’s why I’m telling y
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Finally safe
Chapter 102Poom…Poom…Poom…That was the first thing I heard.Soft. Steady. Like a heartbeat, but outside my body.I didn’t know where I was. My eyes were still closed. Everything felt heavy. My arms, my chest, even my thoughts.But that sound kept going.Poom… poom… poom…Like it was reminding me I was still here.My fingers twitched. The air around me was cold, sterile, but safe. Different.I blinked slowly, once, then again. Light rushed in, too bright at first. My lids fluttered open, and everything looked blurry, like I was underwater.It took a few seconds, maybe more, for things to settle.White ceiling. Pale blue curtains. Machines.The beeping beside me made sense now.A soft weight tugged at my hand. I turned slowly, my head barely shifting. A clear drip was taped into the back of my hand, the IV line running up to a bag hanging beside the bed. My wrist and foot were wrapped. Cleaned. Bandaged.I was in the hospital.I was alive.My chest rose shakily. Tears pricked my eye
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The Escape
Chapter 101Andrea’s POVI knew something was off the moment I woke up.The mood was different tonight.No footsteps echoed in the hallway, no keys jangled, no harsh voices barked orders. The house was filled with the normal coldness, but it was lively.Beyond the metal door, I heard it. Music. Laughter. The clinking of glasses. Voices muffled but happy.They were celebrating.My stomach turned, not from hunger this time, but anticipation.I stayed still for a moment, my back against the cold wall, heart pounding so loud I was afraid someone might hear it. My wrists were sore and scabbed from the ropes, but my mind was clear and sharper than it had been in days.Something’s different.They hadn’t done their usual check. No footsteps outside my door. No voices. No shadows under the crack.Maybe… maybe this was it.The metal shard I had hidden days ago pressed against my thigh beneath the blanket. My one sliver of hope. I’d been waiting for the right moment. Waiting for the smallest cra
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Helpless
Chapter 100Jake’s POVThat’s exactly how I felt. Two days—forty-eight damn hours and still no trace of Andrea. Never in my life had I ever felt this restless. I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since she disappeared. And whenever I did doze off, nightmares followed. The same one every time, Andrea, crying out for help, begging, afraid. I’d jolt awake, drenched in sweat, unsure if the dream was real or not.I poured myself another glass—the third one tonight. The first had done nothing. The second only made my head spin worse. My hands trembled slightly as I lifted the glass.These past few days had forced me to face something I’d been avoiding for a long time—how much I truly cared about Andrea. How much I loved her.Yeah. Love. I hadn’t wanted to admit it before, but this fear, this desperation was the kind of pain that only love brings.I dropped onto the couch and ran a hand down my face. I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing. But what else could I do? We’d already gone to the po
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis The edge of survival
Chapter 99Andrea's pov There was no clock in the room. No window, no sun, no ticking hand to mark the passing of time. But somehow, I knew it had been close to two days. My body told me. The aching bones. The heaviness behind my eyes. The way my stomach twisted and turned—not just from hunger, but from fear.Two nights. Two damn nights.I had slept. I wasn’t sure when or how, but the dreams had been hollow and sharp-edged, like broken glass on repeat. Every time I woke up, I hoped it was all over. That the door would burst open and I’d be rescued from this pain and torture. But no. Same walls. Same cold floor. Same silence.Except when they came.They didn’t speak. They just came in—faces masked, eyes dull—and dropped food like I was some stray they had to keep alive. After the last time I’d tried to run, they no longer untied my hands. One would hold me still while the other brought the spoon to my lips. No words. No looks. Like I wasn’t human. Like I wasn’t even there.My throat b
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Disappeared
Chapter 98 Jake's pov It had been 24 hours since we had heard nothing from Andrea. No calls, no texts, nothing—no sign. The silence was deafening. Everyone in the house was in a panic. Andrea’s mother had been restless. She sat scrunched on the edge of the couch, her eyes swollen from crying, hands wringing a tissue that had long since given up holding anything back. Her father paced by the window, arms folded tightly, a muscle ticking in his jaw every time his phone lit up with nothing. “Where could she be?” her mother whispered, barely audible over the ticking clock. “What if… something had happened to—” She burst out crying, unable to finish the sentence. Andrea’s father walked to her, holding her hands, trying to console her. “She’s fine, darling. Andrea is a strong girl. Nothing has happened to her. Maybe she needed space. Maybe she’s trying to clear her head.” But even he didn’t believe it. None of us did. I sat there, my leg bouncing uncontrollably, trying to calm the
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Tied and Terrified
Chapter 97Andrea's pov I jolted awake, my neck aching from the awkward position I’d dozed off in. I must have slept off out of tiredness, or maybe I just wanted to escape this terror so badly. For a fleeting moment, I hoped it was all a nightmare—that if I just closed my eyes and slept, I’d wake up in the comfort of my bed, thinking about the bad dream I had.But reality slapped me faster than any pinch could.I was still here. Still tied. Still trapped.The same damp air filled my lungs. The faint buzz of that godforsaken light above hummed in my ears. I blinked, trying to clear the haze.I shifted slightly. The ropes binding my hands and feet hurt my skin. My mouth was dry, and my stomach growled in protest.“Can I have some water?” I called out weakly.But there was no response.“Is anyone there?” I screamed.Still no response.“Ughhh…” I breathed out in frustration.Time seemed to blur. I had no idea how long I’d been here. Minutes? Hours? A whole day?Panic trickled in slowly—n
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Where's Andrea???
Chapter 95Jake's pov I checked my watch for the third time in ten minutes.Four hours.Four whole hours.I’d been sitting here, surrounded by wedding gowns and impatient whispers from the boutique staff, waiting for Andrea to walk through that door. But nothing.No call. No text. Nothing.My phone sat heavy in my palm, screen dim. I tapped it, then called again. Her number went straight to voicemail like it had the last four times. I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled slowly, trying to keep calm.Maybe she got stuck in traffic. Or maybe her mum dragged her into something.But something about this—this stillness—wasn’t sitting right.The boutique door finally opened with a jingle. I looked up, half-expecting to see Andrea, annoyed or flustered, maybe rolling her eyes at how late she was. But it was her mum.“Sorry I’m late,” she said, smoothing her purse strap as she walked in. “I had a few things to sort out. So, how many gowns has she tried on?” she asked with a smile as she go
Ex-Husband’s Nemesis Kidnapped
Chapter 95When I opened my eyes, everything felt wrong.The first thing I noticed was the ache in my neck, a pulsing stiffness that crawled down my spine like ice. The second was the bitter sting of rope cutting into my wrists, binding me to the arms of a wooden chair. My legs were tied, too—--- -tight, I couldn’t move. My heart launched itself against my chest.Panic bloomed before I could stop it.Where the hell was I?The room was dim, too quiet. Cold air brushed against my skin—cement floor, no windows. There was a faint hum from somewhere above, like the buzz of a fluorescent light, but nothing else. No footsteps. No distant voices. Just… me.And fear.I tried to remember. The last clear moment was getting into that taxi—yes, I’d told the driver where to go, buckled my seatbelt. Then… the car slowing, a strange silence, and his hand—gloved—pressing something over my nose.A handkerchief.My blood ran cold.“Oh my God,” I whispered, the words scraping out of my dry throat. “No, n
