Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 71: Let the game begin
Mrs. Mary’s voice broke as her hands trembled on her lap as though she was reliving that day again. Her earlier joy turned to sadness.Lisa’s throat tightened. Tears welled and spilled before she could stop them. Her hand flew to her mouth, but her words still slipped through, she couldn't believe her grandpa could do that to his own grandson, still her mom couldn't fight back.“You… you let him take him? You let Grandpa steal him from you?” she stammered.Mrs Mary flinched as if struck. “I didn’t let… Lisa I was weak, I couldn’t…”“No!” Lisa shook her head violently, her tears falling in streams. “No, you chose to stay quiet. You chose Hayden over him. You let him grow up alone. You never even looked for him?”Mary’s breath stuttered, but she had no answer. She didn't even expect Lisa’s reaction to be this intense.Across the table, Allen shoved back his chair so hard it scraped against the floor. He paced like tho and fro in the room. His voice cracked and for a moment, he almost co
Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 70: The last time
The young man who entered moved with confidence, his presence filling the room before a single word left his mouth.Hayden’s breath hitched.The face staring back at him was identically his own.“What the hell…” Hayden whispered, his voice hoarse. He thought Jaylen had sworn he wanted nothing to do with the family. So who brought him here? Who convinced him, what was he playing at?He tried to make sense of it.Mrs. Linford beamed, oblivious to the storm breaking loose inside Hayden’s chest. “Allen, Lisa… meet Jaylen. Your brother, Hayden’s twin.”Allen shoved back his chair, his eyes darting between Jaylen and Hayden. He couldn’t believe his eyes and ears.His voice was filled with disbelief. “This… this got to be a joke, right?” He glanced at Lisa, both of them held the same expression.And from Hayden’s expression, it was obvious there and then that Hayden didn't just find out like they did.Jaylen’s lips curved, but it wasn’t a smile, it was edged with something dark. “Not a joke.
Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 69: Unexpected guest
Briella’s smile lingered only until the car door clicked shut behind her.She entered into the waiting car, staring straight ahead, pretending she was calm but her pulse wouldn’t slow down. Her palms felt damp, so she clenched them tightly in her lap.David glanced at her through the mirror but didn’t speak. She knew he’d seen the hesitation, the way her voice had wavered.Why did I say yes? She bit down on her lip, hard enough to sting. She should have just walked away. She had rehearsed this moment over and over in her head, what she would say if Hayden ever came too close again. A polite thank you or a firm boundary, the end and yet when he looked at her, when his voice cracked on that single word “please” something inside her had betrayed her.She pressed her forehead against the glass of the window, trying to steady the storm inside. She already made things clear when they were on the Island, what she was doing.But there was also the Hayden she couldn’t unsee.. the man who saved

Briella’s eyes widened. “What's that sound?”“I’ll go check it,” Hayden said quietly. “Stay here please.”He descended the stairs with steady steps, though his chest felt like a drum. When he opened the door, relief flickered across his face at the sight of Lex and David, both out of breath.“Where’s she?” Lex demanded panting.“She's upstairs,” Hayden replied.He stepped aside to let them in. David gave him a brief nod, his eyes already scanning the house.“Thank you for staying with her. We heard from the police what happened,” David murmured, almost as though he couldn’t get the words out fast enough.David walked up the steps, but paused for a fraction of a second, his gaze lingering on Hayden. Then without another word, he continued upward. Hayden caught something unspoken in David's glance, but didn’t press it.Hayden felt his work here was done since Lex and David were around. He left without informing them.As the door clicked shut behind him. Hayden stood outside drawing in a
Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 67: Trust no one
Briella faintly heard Hayden’s voice and suddenly no sound was heard again.Then there was a knock on the door. Hayden’s hand went instinctively to his gun. He shifted Briella gently onto the couch and got up to the door.“Miss Briella!” a voice called urgently from outside.Hayden’s jaw tightened. He opened the door slowly with his gun raised, until the uniformed police stepped into view. The moment they saw him and saw the blood on his hands, shock flashed across their faces.Hayden let them in, pointing to Briella.“She was attacked, where the hell were you guys? What the hell is your duty here?” Hayden barked.The guards froze, their eyes falling on Briella’s body. One of them rushed to her, dropping to his knees, already fumbling with the first aid kit strapped to his vest. The other spoke into his radio, calling for the medic on the island.“She’s bleeding out of the head!” Hayden’s voice broke on the words. His chest heaved, his trembling fingers pressed harder to the wound. “
Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back Chapter 66: A miracle?
Hayden walked back to his rented house, just a stone’s throw from Briella’s. The air was cold, salted with the sea breeze, but it couldn’t ease the feeling pressing down on his chest. At least his trip here wasn't wasted. She had forgiven him, that was something. But forgiveness wasn’t the same as acceptance, but he couldn’t force her to be with him. Tomorrow he will leave and let her be.From across the narrow path, a figure lingered behind a tree, a phone pressed to his ear.“She’s not alone,” the voice whispered. There was a pause on the other end, then a faint curse. “Wait until midnight.”*****New YorkLex’s fingers drummed impatiently against the steering wheel, his nerves all over the place. He had tried every line, Michael, David, even Jaylen but none of them were able to reach Briella. And today of all days their private jet coms were bad.Well, it was like Briella’s prayers had been answered, she wanted to stay hidden and not to be disturbed but her silence now made his ski
