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, makin

    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

    BRANDON ~"Sorry, I never meant to harm you." A female voice suddenly came from behind me."Besides, what are you doing here?"Hearing the voice, I slowly lifted my head, using the little strength I had left to look at the person standing behind me. There was something familiar about her, something I couldn't easily overlook.However, the moment my eyes landed on her face, my mouth fell open in disbelief."Ruth!"I couldn't help but scream her name.For a moment, I simply stared at her, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Of all the people I had expected to encounter in this city, Ruth was certainly not one of them.It was almost impossible to believe that I was standing face-to-face with someone I hadn't seen in over two decades.Ruth and I had known each other for more than twenty years. In fact, she was one of my childhood friends. We practically grew up together, and there was a time when I couldn't imagine my childhood without her being part of it.But life had separa

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    54: Taking Matters Into My Hand

    BRANDON ~I let out a deep, frustrated sigh as I stepped down from the plane.I had flown all the way from Manhattan City to Asheville in search of Victoria, but most importantly, my son, Liam.For weeks, I had spent a considerable amount of time and resources hiring secret investigative agents to help me locate Victoria's residential address in this city. Unfortunately, none of them had been able to provide me with any useful information.Their constant failure was beginning to test my patience. I couldn't understand how a team of supposedly experienced investigators could struggle to find the whereabouts of one woman.I had given them enough time and resources, yet they kept returning with one disappointing report after another.I was tired of waiting.That was why I had decided to take matters into my hands. I couldn't continue sitting comfortably in Manhattan while Victoria and my son remained somewhere in this city, completely out of my reach.I missed Liam terribly. It had been

    VICTORIA ~ "Mommy, are you still going to take me to McDonald's?" Liam asked as he barged into my room. I lifted my gaze from my laptop and stared at him. Seeing the excitement written all over his little face, I couldn't help but let out a weak sigh. "Of course, dear," I replied with a faint smile. In all honesty, I do not have the time for such an activity, especially with the amount of work waiting for me. However, I knew I had to fulfil my promise. After all, I was the one who had made it, and I didn't want to disappoint my son. I closed my laptop and stretched out my arms, silently requesting a hug. Without hesitation, he approached me and wrapped his little arms around my neck. I hugged him briefly before pulling away to look into his face. "Was it because of the promise I made that you forgot you were supposed to greet me first before asking for anything else?" I asked, pretending to sound offended. He lowered his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Mom." A small smile crept o

    BRANDON ~It had already been three weeks since Victoria left Manhattan with Liam, yet I was still unable to make any progress with my investigation.So far, I had changed two secret service agents while searching for Victoria's details in Asheville City, but neither of them had brought me any positive results. No matter how much I tried, I kept hitting a dead end, and it was beginning to frustrate me more than I cared to admit.I let out a deep sigh, rubbing my forehead as I picked up my phone from the table to dial their number. I needed an update as soon as possible. I couldn't afford to waste any more time sitting around without knowing where Victoria was or how she had been doing.It has already been three weeks since they went back to Asheville City, and those three weeks already look like forever to me.However, just as I was about to dial the chief of the secret service agents, my phone suddenly began to ring.I paused, my fingers hovering over the screen as I glanced at the c

    VICTORIA ~Saying I have been worn out over the past couple of days is an understatement. I am more than exhausted, both physically and emotionally.I have faced a series of challenges. Just when I thought I had finally managed to get my son back to Asheville City, another exhausting issue came up, leaving me with barely enough time to catch my breath.However, I am thankful that this present storm has finally come to an end. At least, I can breathe a little easier now, knowing that I no longer have to worry about the case hanging over my head.In all honesty, I cannot thank the universe enough for bringing Logan into my life.Right from the moment I got into this trouble, he took it upon himself to fight for my release. He stood by me when I needed help the most, even when I had no idea how things would turn out. His support meant more to me than I could ever explain.Even during the court hearing, which I never expected him to attend, he showed up with his lawyer, as though he had s

    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

    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
