BENITA ~

I was about to lock the door of my apartment when I felt my phone vibrating inside my handbag.

My mind spirals into many possibilities of who it could be.

I had just closed from work, so there's no way it would be from my boss or be a work-related issue.

I dipped my hand into the handbag and took out the phone only to discover it was Brandon.

Although his number was not saved in my phone, I was able to detect it was him because that was the same number that called me previously re

    BENITA ~ I was about to lock the door of my apartment when I felt my phone vibrating inside my handbag. My mind spirals into many possibilities of who it could be. I had just closed from work, so there's no way it would be from my boss or be a work-related issue. I dipped my hand into the handbag and took out the phone only to discover it was Brandon. Although his number was not saved in my phone, I was able to detect it was him because that was the same number that called me previously requesting I reveal Victoria's location to him. With a furrowed gaze, I stared at the screen, contemplating whether to accept the call or decline it. I stared at the screen until the call ended. Just when I was about to fling the phone into my bag and continue with where I was going, the call came again. This time I quickly accepted the call. My intention was to yell at him and then end the call, but his voice came quickly. "Benita, please, I need your help." His voice was calm and laced with

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    30: I'm Sorry For Everything That Happened

    VICTORIA ~ It was eight o'clock in the morning when I, Liam, and Brandon got home. Oops, I mean when we got back to Brandon's house. My son had recovered enough to go home. I was handed the rest of his medication, which he would be taking until he recovers fully. Elese had been apprehended, and I must say I cannot really express how happy I was. Even if she sleeps her way out from the justice my son deserves, I'll handle her by myself. "Now I think I should properly welcome you to my home. To our home, I meant to say." Brandon chuckled lightly. "I believe you are talking about the past," I replied. I did not even give him the excitement he had expected. "Even in the present it's still our home..." "No, you're wrong," I said immediately, cutting him short. "Our home in the past, but not anymore." His facial expression shifted. I could tell those words pierced deeply through his skin, but his emotions were less of my concern. "I'm sorry for everything that has happened within

    VICTORIA ~ When I was discharged from the police station, given the fact that my statement proved my innocence, I was directed to the hospital where Liam was admitted. It was the police that even drove me to the hospital. They had detained Brandon to provide information necessary to get Elese, who is the best person to explain what had happened to Liam because, according to Brandon, Liam was hale and hearty, watching a movie when he left for the airport to welcome me. "I really don't have anything to say now until something happens to my son," I muttered under my breath, trying shake off the distraction. "Good evening, Ma'am," a nurse said to me as she approached me. Before she could talk further, the police with me interfered. "She's the mother to the boy. Please, how is he now?" "Oh, really?" The nurse's forehead rose a little; pity instantly flashed through her face. "How's he now?" The police repeated the question. "Well," the nurse exhaled a deep sigh. "There is improveme

    BRANDON ~ By the time Victoria and I got to my house, Elese's car was already at the garage, a sign that she had returned, which was what I had never expected. Earlier yesterday, she had told me she was going for a business trip and would stay for three days. I knew very well that wasn't true. I knew it was her side dude that she was going to visit, but I did not put my mind into it given the plan I had in my mind already. That event was even what gave me the medium to book a flight to Asheville City to take Liam from his school. I never knew Elese would go back against her words. Meanwhile, I had left Liam at home to go welcome Victoria at the airport. The thought that she had just returned and met Liam in the house alone gave me goosebumps. To think she would recognize that he's my son at first glance due to the striking resemblance made my heart sink. Elese would not be happy to realize I have a child outside our union. I can't stop imagining her action towards him g

    VICTORIA ~ "Who else if not Brandon?" I replied with a tired tone. "Of course, it's Brandon." Logan huffed a deep sigh of frustration. "What exactly does he want from you?" he lamented. He wanted to talk further, but I wriggled free from his grip and left. Nonetheless, he chased after me. "I don't even know why you're so much in a hurry to go meet your doom," he spoke, his words cutting through me like shards of ice. That statement from him made my heart sink. For a moment, I paused and reflected on my decision. I rolled my eyes at him and then asked him, "What made you say so?" Logan stared at me for a second, and instead of answering my question, he let out a smirk. "Do I really need to tell you?" That was his response. "Well," his eyelids rose as he sighed. "Since you're trying not to miss your flight, I need you to do only one thing..." "Which is?" I asked immediately, almost cutting him short. "Turn on your live location feature on your phone and share it with me." Wit

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    26: Who Exactly Is That?

    VICTORIA ~ "I'm sorry, Victoria, but Liam is asleep right now. Maybe tomorrow." This was precisely what Brandon had told me after I requested to speak with my son. After I requested to speak with Liam, whose voice I had heard clearly in the background, asking him who he was speaking with. To say I was short of words was an understatement. For a moment, I wanted to crash at him, but then I realised that would only worsen the situation. Given that we're speaking on the phone, he might end the call and then block my number, making it impossible for me to reach him again. That way I would lose the little hope of seeing my son again. Even Liam's voice I had heard in the background eased the tension boiling in me a little, so I can't let my emotions get the best of me and miss that opportunity. I breathed a deep sigh, trying to bring myself together. "Brandon, I want us to see," I requested. "We need to talk, please." There was a brief silence from his end. For almost five seconds

    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 ~ I calmly glanced at the seven-figure value bracelet on Elese's hand, then looked directly into Brandon's eyes. "I mean exactly what I said. You give the bracelet away and give me a freebie gift. Do you think I only deserve freebies?" Brandon probably didn't expect me to bring up the
