Ethan stepped out of his black Mercedes, buttoning the front of his navy-blue suit as he approached the towering glass structure of Rayne Industries. The sleek security doors opened automatically at his approach, and as always, the entire floor seemed to pause the moment he entered.

“Good morning, Mr. Rayne,” a chorus of voices greeted him with practiced reverence.

He gave no reply.

The staff at the reception desk exchanged quick glances, but no one dared to ask questions. Ethan was known for his moods, but today, there was something different. His jaw was tighter, his stride more forceful.

He passed Jessica’s desk without looking in her direction. She immediately rose to her feet, brushing invisible lint from her skirt. “Good morning, Ethan—”

The office door shut behind him before she could finish.

Jessica sat down slowly, wondering what had suddenly happened. She knew that Ethan’s mood was always cold and he never glanced at her but today was different.

She could feel it.

Why didn’t he fire her ? Oh yes cos she was a convenience… for what ? Whenever he had needs for her .. or cos she resembled someone special like what Anita said ?

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 100

    Brielle stopped at the door, stunned.What was she doing here?She stared at Jessica with disbelief. She wasn’t shocked to see her here, she just thought that Jessica would have a little pride and know that she wasn’t welcome, especially in this room.Vivian didn’t even like her to start with.Jessica, with her smug expression and flawless makeup, walked in holding a bouquet like she had every right to be there. But what really made Brielle pause was the fake cheerfulness in her voice as she chirped, “Brielle!”Everyone in the room turned to the sound of her voice and Brielle wished in that moment she could disappear or even become invisible.Ethan looked up first, visibly confused. His brows furrowed immediately. If he was expecting anyone, it most definitely wasn’t Jessica.Eliana didn’t bother hiding her reaction, she rolled her eyes so hard it was almost audible.“Brielle! It’s good to see you again!” Albert greeted her with a warm smile but completely ignored Jessica.Jessica, ho

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 99

    Brielle was bent over Vivian, gently checking her vitals while her fingers trembled slightly. Despite the long night, her concentration hadn’t wavered. Every beep from the monitor, every number on the screen mattered. Beside her, Ethan was holding a glass of water to his mother’s lips, careful not to spill a drop.Vivian’s hands shook a little as she tried to drink, but Ethan helped steady her hand, his jaw tight with emotion. Her breathing was shallow but controlled, and though she couldn’t speak much yet, her eyes fluttered open now and again, proof that she was present, fighting her way back to health.“Should we be worried?” Ethan asked, his voice low. He found it strange that she wasn’t able to speak even though he could see her trying.Brielle glanced at him, tucking her stethoscope back around her neck. “No. It’s normal. Don’t force her. She’ll speak when she’s ready. She just woke up from a coma. Her system is in shock think of it like restarting a machine after it’s been shut

    Ethan froze the moment he saw her eyes flutter open. At first, Brielle looked dizzy, just a lazy blink like she was waking from a nap. But the second she realized how close he was, her eyes snapped open all the way, sharp, alert, and furious.“What the hell?!” she gasped, instantly shoving him away with both hands.Ethan stumbled back a step, shocked but still too stunned to speak. His heart was beating so hard in his chest that it almost drowned out the silence in the room.Brielle sat up fast, her breath shallow. She looked around, eyes wide, her chest rising and falling in both disbelief and anger. She was about to scream when she looked towards to bed and saw Vivian still sleeping peacefully.She swallowed the scream building in her throat and forced herself to calm down. But her fury hadn’t gone anywhere.“What were you doing?” she asked in a low, harsh tone, looking him straight in the eye. “Were you seriously trying to kiss me in my sleep, Ethan? Is that what you do now?” Her v

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 97

    Brielle stayed by Vivian’s side for what felt like hours, barely moving, her hand resting gently over the older woman’s frail fingers. The slow rise and fall of Vivian’s chest gave her a bit of peace, even if everything else in her life right now felt like it was spinning out of control.Eventually, she drifted off…giving in to the dizziness. Her head dropped a little, her body slumped into the chair, and her eyes gave in to the exhaustion she’d been ignoring all day. In a few minutes, she was fully asleep.James sat quietly on a chair behind her, his eyes watching her carefully despite the piercing eyes from the side of the room…Ethan. As soon as he saw her head fall on the bed, his senses kicked in. He stood quickly but carefully with the intention to help her get into a better position as he knew that if she stayed in the weird position for long, she would wake up with an ache all over her body.But, just as he stepped forward, the other person in the room who had been watching him

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 96

    Brielle sat for a while, the silence making her stomach turn and finally decided that it was time to leave. She turned to leave the room when Ethan’s voice stopped her in her tracks.“Are you leaving the room now?” he asked quietly, not looking up from the side of the bed where he sat.She paused by the door, her hand resting on the knob. “I have work to do,” she replied, her tone calm but firm.For a second, Ethan looked like he wanted to protest, to ask her to stay, but the way she stood…..composed, unwilling to speak or even share the same breathing space with him … made him stop himself. He nodded without another word and looked back at Vivian, deciding not to push her any further.Brielle walked out without a glance.Two hours passed, and Brielle found herself finally done with the day’s work. In truth, there had been no night shift scheduled for her. She had simply said that earlier because she wanted an excuse to remain at the hospital and be close to Vivian. Maybe it was the g

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 95

    Brielle furrowed her brows at Professor James, her eyes narrowing in disbelief. “What do you mean by that?” she asked cautiously, straightening her back and folding her arms.Professor James shifted where he stood, his fingers tucked loosely into his lab coat pockets. “I mean… I could pretend to be your boyfriend for a while,” he said, watching her reaction carefully to be sure he wasn’t saying anything that would upset her.“Just until Ethan gets the message and stops showing up, acting like he still has some kind of claim over you.” He added.Brielle blinked slowly, as if trying to process his words. “You want to fake-date me?”“I mean, not in a weird way,” James clarified quickly, raising both hands. “You wouldn’t owe me anything. I just figured it could help push him away if he sees you’re with someone else. Especially if that someone is me. We both know he doesn’t like me.” He said jokingly.Brielle let out a half-laugh, both surprised and amused by his idea. “James, I appreciate
