His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful! 114
The next morning, I woke up feeling empty inside (just like I'd felt these few days). I laid there in bed for ten whole minutes doing nothing, eyes locked on the ceiling.It took much effort to crawl out of bed, and walk barefoot to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and took a shower, then wrapped myself in a robe before waking Imogen and helping her get ready.We made breakfast together, ate, then got dressed, and we were on our way.I dropped her off at school, before heading for work.As ritual was, Irea came to meet me in my office to discuss my schedule for the day and I tried to distract myself with it.It didn't work.My chest felt heavy, and I wouldn't stop glancing at my phone to see if Drex had messaged. Or at least get any information on whatever was happening in his life.Where was he?How was he?I wondered if he was alright, because tell me how on earth I didn't hear a thing from him?Why hadn't he—?“Uh… Miss Red?” Irea's voice cut through my thoughts, snapping me

– Lisa Red –When I concluded, I walked past Drex and went inside.I told myself multiple times that this was for the best. That I was doing this to protect myself and Imogen.So why did my chest hurt badly? Why was my stomach so tightened? Why did breathing seem difficult?The second I closed the door behind me, my back pressed against it, and a drop of tear broke free against my will.I quickly wiped it as I slowly released a breath through my mouth, then took to fanning my eyes with my hand. “What on earth is wrong with you, Lisa? You didn't see this guy for five whole years, and you survived.”Why then did I feel this way?I hadn't even been with him up to five months, yet the thought of him walking away forever was giving me a headache.I shook my head. “This is just stupid.”For thirty whole minutes, I stayed by the door, chanting to myself how this was for the best. How I was doing it to protect Imogen.I said it so many times until I finally believed it.Or maybe I told myself

– Drex Drane –I gasped, loudly.“What?!” No.No no no no no.Shit, no!“Lisa, you can't do this to me.”“It's not about you anymore.” She snapped, sharp enough for me to take a step backI watched as her hand moved to her forehead, before dragging through her hair, then she stared back at me, and when she spoke, her tone held an emotion to it that made my heart squeeze.“It's not about you. Or me. Or even our emotions, Drex,” she sighed. “This… This is all for Imogen.”“What the heck?” I also took to dragging a hand through my hair, and didn't even realize when I started to pace back and forth, because this had to be a dream.It just had to.I refused to believe she was telling me to leave her life.To leave my daughter's life.“No.” I shook my head. “I didn't get to witness five whole years of her growth, Lisa… there's no way I'm going to miss any more second of it.”I paused in my step, “That is impossible.”She drew in a breath, and when our eyes met, I noticed how her shoulders

“What you heard.”I hurled a glare at her. “Do I look stupid to you?”“If you don't believe, then yes,” she nodded, “you are stupid.”Drex had always been putting up the impression that he never liked Cassie, so why would he start talking to her about this?It was one thing for him to have impregnated her (maybe a mistake or something), but would he really talk to her about Imogen? About where she schools?I shook my head. “Stop spilling shit, Cassie. He would never talk to you about this.”“You sure?” She rubbed her belly as though to remind me of her pregnancy. “Because if I remember that night clearly, he'd definitely discussed being a father with you.”My fingers curled at my side. The hurt and betrayal I'd been feeling before disappeared in an instance, replaced by complete anger.“You bitch.” I said, eyes locked on hers. “I don't care what the hell's going on between you and Drex, but let it stay there.”She sneered.“If you ever involve my child in this, I swear with everythin

– Lisa Red –All through the day, I couldn't concentrate. The article was all I could think about. Especially since Drex hadn't answered my calls.Why didn't he?Could it be real? Was the article really true?Every time I thought about it, I'd feel a different kind of pain run through me. It was like how it was five years ago. Being betrayed again.But I didn't cry.Because I remembered the promise I made to myself five years ago where I would no longer cry over any man.All I did was leave my company and take a long walk to clear my head.Leo had wanted to follow, but I insisted he didn't.Because at the moment, I needed to be alone.I would remember the times I spent with Drex together, the way he'd looked at me, things he'd said… and I'd believe that this wasn't true.But then his face the previous night would return.I hated cheating men, and if Drex did this, then he didn't just cheat, but toyed with my trust. The entire day was exhausting for me mentally, which was why by the

*Author's Note- This chapter may be a bit disturbing for a few readers because it'll have mention of a child being attacked emotionally (a bit). I just want to warn before hand 💞💞*“Hello, ma'am.” One of my men's voice sounded the second he answered.“What do you have?” I connected the call to my car's Bluetooth, then kept my eyes on the road.“The child… Imogen Red. Most of her information is private, so I wasn't able to get much, but I do know for sure that she's Lisa Red's daughter.”My fingers tightened around the wheels. I'd suspected it, but having it confirmed sent another kind of frustration.Was it not enough that the bitch returned after so many years, but she had to do that with a child?“Did you get the other information I asked for?”“Yes, ma'am.” He cleared his throat. “Imogen attends Bright Purpose Elementary School. Considering her age, I estimated her to be in the kindergarten stage.”Bright Purpose?It rang a bell, but I wasn't sure why?“When do they close? When
