"Wow, I can't believe you went through all of that with Brandon," I exclaimed in disbelief after hearing Benita's story.

She had finally made it to Asheville City. When she arrived at my place yesterday, it was already night due to her flight being delayed in Manhattan.

Because of this, we couldn't have a proper discussion. She was too exhausted to even eat the dinner I had prepared for her.

Initially, she said she would eat later but ended up sleeping until the next morning.

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    61: There's Something I Want Us To Discuss

    ELESE ~I gently caressed my tummy, letting out a deep sigh as the reality of my situation slowly dawned on me. In just a few months, I would become a mother.The mere thought of it scares me.Not because I do not want to become a mother, but because I was terrified of becoming a single mother. The thought of bringing my first child into the world without being married to the father was something I found difficult to accept.My first ever child, born out of wedlock.How disdainful!I pressed my lips together, trying to push away the unpleasant thoughts clouding my mind. However, the more I tried to convince myself that everything would be fine, the more worried I became.I wasn't prepared for such a future. I wanted my child to have a complete family, a father who would be present in their life and a home where they wouldn't have to grow up wondering why their parents weren't together.Is that too much to ask for?I swallowed hard, withdrawing my hand from my tummy as I reached for my

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    60: What Are You Doing Here?

    VICTORIA ~"Mommy, when is Aunty Benita coming to see us here again?" Liam asked as he barged into my room.He had just woken up from sleep after the horrific outing we had earlier."She will visit whenever she wants," I replied, making my way to the kitchen to check on the food.Since we didn't get to enjoy the moment we had planned at the restaurant, I decided to prepare a special meal for the two of us to enjoy at home. At least, I wanted to make up for the unpleasant experience we had earlier.Although Liam seemed to have recovered from what happened, I couldn't say the same about myself. The events of the day kept replaying in my head, and I couldn't help but feel disturbed whenever I remembered how things had turned out.I just wanted some peace, especially now that I had finally managed to settle into a routine with my son."Go and keep yourself busy in the sitting room. I'll let you know when lunch is ready, okay?"I gently caressed his head before walking away."Okay, Mommy,"

    VICTORIA ~"Mommy, why are we running away from him?" Liam asked, frustration clearly written across his little face as I hurried towards the direction where our car was parked, holding firmly onto his wrist.I glanced briefly at him but couldn't bring myself to explain anything."You'll understand better when the time is right, sweetheart," I replied, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible despite the turmoil inside me.I knew he was confused, and honestly, I couldn't blame him. From his perspective, we had simply been having a lovely time together before I suddenly dragged him away without allowing him to finish his meal.However, there is no way I could explain the situation to him at that moment.I quickly opened the car door, ushered him into the passenger seat, and hurried into the driver's seat.Without wasting another second, I started the engine, reversed the car, and steered onto the main road before speeding away."Mommy, what is happening?!" Liam yelled, his voice ris

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    58: Isn't That My Son?

    BRANDON ~In all honesty, I hadn't expected things to end this way.Ruth and I were seated in the restaurant, enjoying our meal and having a friendly conversation when something unexpected happened.Suddenly, I heard a familiar little voice echo from behind me, followed by a familiar female voice immediately shushing the little boy and telling him to keep quiet.My hand paused halfway to my mouth.I knew that voice.I turned around almost instinctively, wanting to confirm what I had just heard. At first, I tried to convince myself that my ears were playing tricks on me. After all, it couldn't possibly be who I thought it was.But the moment my eyes settled on the direction the voices were coming from, I froze.For a few seconds, I couldn't move. My eyes remained fixed on the little boy, and my heart began pounding furiously against my chest."Isn't that my son?" That was the exact question that rang through my head.I stared at him in disbelief, struggling to process what I was seeing

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    57: Why Did I Choose To Come Here?

    VICTORIA ~ As we drove towards the busy road, Liam kept glancing out of the window, admiring the beautiful sights of the city. His excitement was written all over his face, and I couldn't help but smile occasionally as I watched him enjoy the view. It had been a while since I had taken him out like this, especially with how occupied I had been with work lately. Although I had a lot on my plate, I knew I needed to create time for him. He deserved more than a mother who is always glued to her work. "Mommy, why is that man walking with his hands?" he suddenly asked. His question caught me off guard, causing me to slow down slightly as I tried to see the person he was referring to. Unfortunately, before I could turn my head properly, the car had already passed him. "Sorry, sweetheart. I couldn't see who you were talking about," I replied, gently patting his shoulder with one hand while keeping the other on the steering wheel. He said nothing more and returned his attention to t

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    56: Are You The Owner Of This Place?

    BRANDON ~After a brief introduction between Ruth and me, she offered to take me to her house so we could have a proper discussion."We can't just end up exchanging contacts on the road and walk away like strangers," she said with a light chuckle.As we walked towards a nearby parking lot, she pointed a finger at a sleek Porsche Cayenne parked a few feet away."That's my car you're about to pass," she said casually.For a moment, my eyes widened in surprise, but I quickly composed myself, making sure I didn't let my reaction linger on my face.Although I genuinely wanted the best for Ruth, I hadn't expected her to be driving such an expensive car.As far as I could remember, Ruth came from a very poor background. That was one of the reasons I had been so worried when she was taken away from us.Back then, I constantly wondered whether her guardian would treat her well. I had heard countless stories about children placed under the care of guardians being subjected to different forms of
