BRANDON ~

After closing from work today, I headed straight to the mall to do some shopping for Elese, as today is her birthday.

That was the exact reason I closed work earlier today than usual.

I had decided to surprise her; maybe that would make her change for good, knowing I have her best interest at heart.

Although she never told me about her birthday today, I already have it on my mind when her birthday is, as I usually bought things for her in the

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    47: Agree To My Condition

    VICTORIA~ "Please, ma'am, you're wasting our time. Kindly make your payment so others can do the same," the cashier said impatiently. I immediately turned my attention back to the items I had shopped, my heart pounding as I tried to figure out what to do next. The impatient stares from the people behind me only made the situation more embarrassing. "Oh, you're stranded!" Elese chirped in, letting out a mocking giggle. My forehead instantly glistened with beads of sweat. I could feel my confidence slipping away, but I refused to let her see how uncomfortable I was. "And who says I'm stranded?" I shot back, dipping my hand into my purse to retrieve my ATM card. To my bewilderment, I couldn't find it. I searched through the purse again, moving my fingers desperately through its contents, but the card was nowhere to be found. "What the heck is happening?" I muttered in frustration. The more I searched, the more helpless I felt. I couldn't understand how my card had suddenl

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    46: Someone Paid For Your Shopping

    VICTORIA ~I had just shopped for a few items when one of the supermarket attendants walked over to me."Good evening, ma'am. I hope you're enjoying your shopping?" she questioned with a cheerful smile."Of course," I replied with the same expression before turning to focus on what I was doing.I continued picking the items I needed, placing them carefully inside my trolley as I moved from one shelf to another. I had come to the supermarket to get a few things for myself, and I had already made a list of everything I needed before leaving home.I would rather not spend more than I could afford, especially with the number of responsibilities I had to take care of.A few minutes later, I stared at the trolley and realized I had shopped for more than I had budgeted. Some of the items weren't even necessary, and I had to remove a few of them to avoid spending more than I had planned.I sighed as I picked up a few items and returned them to their shelves.It wasn't easy trying to manage ev

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    45: You're Two Weeks Pregnant

    ELESE ~ "Congratulations, ma'am. You're two weeks pregnant." My heart sank the moment the doctor's words reached my ears. For a moment, I couldn't even process what he had just said. I stared at him, hoping I had misunderstood, but the smile on his face told me otherwise. "Are you serious, Doctor?" I asked, my forehead creasing as I searched his face for any sign that he was joking. "Yes, ma'am. The result is positive. You're two weeks pregnant." His smile widened briefly, but as he noticed the sadness and frustration written all over my face, it slowly faded. The excitement in his eyes gave way to confusion. "What happened?" he asked, leaning forward slightly. "Isn't this supposed to be good news? Why don't you look happy?" I swallowed hard, struggling to keep my emotions under control. How was I supposed to be happy when the news he had just given me felt more like a punishment than a blessing? "You wouldn't understand, Doctor," I muttered. After nearly a minute of

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    44: In Police Custody

    LOGAN ~"This is already seven o'clock p.m., and Victoria is yet to call me as she promised," I mumbled with utmost frustration, glancing at my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.She usually returned from work at exactly five o'clock p.m., so what could be her reason for not keeping to her promise? The thought kept bothering me, and the longer I waited, the more restless I became.It wasn't even her company's busy season yet, when they had to work extra shifts to meet customers' requests. So, what could possibly be keeping her away for this long? She must have certainly returned home, if not for anything else, for the sake of her son.We had agreed to go for a dinner date, which I planned to use that opportunity to know my place in her life. I wanted to know where I belonged so I wouldn't end up raising someone else's family for him.The thought alone made my chest tighten with uneasiness. I cared about Victoria, but I wasn't ready to invest my heart in a relationship where

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    43: A Knockdown

    VICTORIA ~I had just closed from work and was heading to the garage to get my car. Well, not exactly my car.It was the car Logan had gifted me as a welcome-back present after I returned from Manhattan City.I still wasn't completely used to the idea of owning such an expensive car. Every time I looked at it, I remembered Logan's kindness and how much he had gone out of his way to make me feel welcome after everything I had been through.I walked towards it, opened the driver's door, and entered.For a moment, I sat quietly behind the wheel, allowing myself to breathe after what had been a long and exhausting day.I started the engine, fastened my seat belt, shifted the gear into reverse, and pressed down on the accelerator.The car moved smoothly out of the parking spot.I drove towards the gate, completely unaware that anything was wrong.The moment I drove out of the gate, a loud and unpleasant sound suddenly came from behind me.BANG!My heart jumped."What was that?"I immediate

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    42: Making Investigation

    BRANDON ~ After the policemen recovered the weapons, they arrested the two men, placed handcuffs around their wrists, and led them into their van. I stood there and watched until the vehicle disappeared. Only then did I turn around and head straight to my room. There was no way I was going to ignore what had just happened. Someone had brought armed men into my house, and somehow, they had managed to get close enough to carry out whatever plan they had in mind. That meant someone under my payroll had either betrayed me or failed badly at their job. I needed to know who it was exactly. If I simply dismiss the whole incident because the police had intervened, whoever was behind it might go home, regroup, and come back with something far worse. Next time, I might not be so lucky. I entered my room, shut the door behind me, and immediately picked up my phone. I dialed my adviser's number. Mr. Luke was the person I usually turned to when things became complicated. He had been aroun

    VICTORIA ~ “Abortion?” Brandon asked, confusion flickering across his face. “Tell me you’re joking, Victoria,” he added, staring at me with a stoic expression. "Of course, Brandon. Are you surprised?" I chuckled, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Well, don't be. I chose this because I can't endur

    VICTORIA ~After dealing with everything, I returned to the party only to see Brandon protecting Elese, loudly accusing another person.From their words, it wasn't hard to tell that the person had accidentally spilled some wine from their glass on the corner of Elese's clothes, and Brandon was insi

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    3: What Do You Think?

    BRANDON ~ Words alone cannot express how I was feeling. Victoria pretends that all is well, but I know she's just masking her true feelings. I know beneath the surface lies a dangerous thought and plan she's harboring for me, which she does not want me to know of. I took a deep sigh of exaspera

    VICTORIA Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The day I married the man of my dreams, Brandon. Instead, it became the day my heart shattered into a thousand pieces.
