Chapter 12

Andrea's pov

It’s been a week since I arrived back home. My parents had tried their best to make sure I got whatever I wanted. I appeared strong to them, but when I was all alone, I cried myself to sleep. I just couldn’t help it. I missed my unborn child, and the feeling of betrayal was still so fresh in my heart. I knew I needed to be strong to get past this, but I’m human, and pain doesn’t just disappear overnight.

Night after night, I wondered if Jason could still sleep peacefully, even after what he had done to me. I wondered if he and his family ever felt remorseful for setting me up and ruining my reputation. My influencing career was thriving—yes, Jason was rich, and even my parents were richer—but I wanted to build something on my own. When I was topping the list as one of the best influencers in the city, I felt fulfilled. But now, everything I worked hard for was gone, all because I was married to my enemy.

Yes, Jason was an enemy, and it took me 15 yea

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   A second chance with Andrea

    Chapter 142Jason’s pov Andrea is finally going to be mine again. It still feels like a dream to me.I honestly thought she would never forgive me. I was more than surprised when she spoke to me at the hospital. My original plan was just to check on her quietly, maybe stand at the door and make sure she was okay—then leave. I couldn’t bring myself to walk in. But just as I was about to turn away, I saw her.My heart jumped.I was happy to see her alive and well because I had been worried since the confrontation with Jake. But at the same time, I was scared. I didn’t know what to say to her because I knew she hated me—or so I thought. But she did otherwise.We had a good conversation, and I was forgiven.I’m never going to betray or hurt her again.Never.Sometimes, you don’t know what you have until you lose it. And I lost Andrea. That loss? It opened my eyes to how valuable she was to me. I regret everything—every damn thing I did to her. I don’t even know what came over me. I got c

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   Thirty days of distance

    Chapter 141Andrea's pov The moment I stepped back into my room and shut the door, I sat on the ground. I didn’t bother turning on the lights. The weight pressing down on my chest made it hard to breathe.I burst out crying but ran straight to the bathroom so Jake wouldn’t hear. I knelt on the cold tiles and turned on the tap, letting the water mask the sound of my sobs. I wrapped my arms around myself, holding tight, trying to muffle the sob that clawed its way up my throat.Tears spilled before I could stop them. I buried my face in my hands, trembling as I cried my heart out.I hated this.I hated how I’d left Jake standing there.with confusion in his eyes when i told him i was leaving his room.Seeing the way his voice had cracked when asked if he had done something wrong.God… if only he knew.If only he knew this wasn’t about him. I was doing all of this for him—so he wouldn’t fall apart once I was no longer here.My chest ached as I rocked back and forth, trying to breathe thr

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   Slowly drifting apart

    Chapter 140Jason povWhen I woke up and didn’t see Andrea, I was too worried and wondered where she had been. I called her name several times and even checked the bathroom to see if she was there.She was nowhere.Where could she have gone? My heart raced a bit. I rushed out to ask the nurse if they took her anywhere or if she saw her leave.The nurse said she had just resumed her shift.I looked around the hospital but didn’t see her. I went back to the room. My mind had been spinning with all sorts of questions — or maybe her parents took her somewhere? I was about to call them when she walked in… more like sneaking in.Why was she sneaking in?Even though she had told me she went to get some fresh air, something about her behavior was off. Even as she lay on the bed right now, she seemed so… distant. Like she was somewhere else, even though she was right here.I didn’t want to push. Sometimes, people just need space. So I sat next to her, said nothing just watched her breathe.Af

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   A quest for revenge

    Chapter 139As I walked down to my hospital room, the confrontation with Claire still burned in my mind like a wildfire I couldn’t put out. Her words played over and over again but beneath that noise, something else pulsed, A cold hunger for Revenge. I wanted it so badly it was almost painful. I needed to make her pay for everything she’d done, everything she’d taken from me.I walked slowly down the hospital corridor, a bit tired. I had overworked myself today. I’d take the drugs the doctor had given me—I’d hidden them under my bed. The drugs were to help me feel stronger whenever I felt weak. I had to go back before Jake woke up and noticed I was gone.Who was that in front of my room door? I thought as I saw someone in a wheelchair. The person turned the wheelchair toward my direction and was about to leave. Then I saw the face.Jason.His body slouched slightly in the wheelchair, the dim light catching the sharp angles of his face. His eyes lifted slowly and met mine.“Oh,” I whis

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   30 days of destroying claire

    Chapter 138Jake was lying on the narrow hospital couch beside my bed, one arm draped lazily over his chest, the other tucked behind his head. His mouth was slightly parted, his breathing soft and steady. There was something oddly peaceful about watching him like this—it brought some kind of relief in my mind filled with so much chaos.I stayed still under the covers, not wanting to wake him. The morning light filtering through the blinds laid soft stripes across his face. My chest tightened, and I swallowed hard.He didn’t deserve this. None of them did.I had wanted to go home the next day but they refused, saying I needed all the rest I could get.I turned my face to the ceiling, My time was ticking. Every second, every breath… it was slipping away from me. Who did I offend in my former life? Why was I did I have bad luck? Was I cursed? What crime did I commit that the universe had to punish me this way? Why is it that whenever one storm passes, another one rolls in right behind i

  • Ex-Husband’s Nemesis   Falling apart

    Chapter 137Andrea's pov My eyes fluttered open slowly. The ceiling above me was white, unfamiliar, almost too bright. I blinked, squinting, trying to adjust.Where… where was I?The air smelled like antiseptic. Beeping machines clicked somewhere nearby. A sharp tug of panic crawled up my throat as I turned my head.A hospital.Wait. How did I get here?I tried to sit up, but my limbs felt like wet sandbags weak and heavy. A dull ache throbbed at the base of my skull. The memory hit me then, I had stood up to get fruit from the kitchen before I fainted.Jake must have been through so much pain bringing me here. I looked around but didn’t see him nearby.My heart began to pound. “Jake?” My voice cracked. “Jake? Where is my husband? Where’s my husband?!”The door creaked open, and a man in a white coat stepped in, holding a clipboard. His glasses sat low on his nose, and he looked at me with tired but kind eyes.“Miss Andrea,” he said softly, stepping further into the room. “You’re awa
