My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 8 - Living in Confusion
PaigeShe could still hear muffled voices from downstairs as she shut the door, leaning back against it to keep herself from crumbling down the floor and bawling. After all these years, one would think that she would have gotten used to being treated like this by the mother of the only man she has ever loved but no, it hasn't ever been easy for her. She stayed in that position until she was calm enough to get her normal self back, “This is just a contract, you are no longer married to Cedric, this is just business, you are enduring this fr business,” She muttered several times to herself even though she knew there was little truth in those words. No, she isn't enduring this because of any contract or business, she is enduring it because somewhere in her heart, she is still holding onto the hope that maybe someday… She immediately sprung herself from the door when she heard footsteps approaching, and. hurried to the bed and sat there waiting in bated breath for Cedric, that was th
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 9 - When he acts like this
Paige“What is it, Paige? Eh? Did I lie?” Paige scoffed but ignored her, walking away from her and headed towards the gate where she could easily see Rains’ car, he would be picking her up in five. She could feel piercing eyes on her but she wasn't going to deal with that right now, her morning had already been foul when she woke up to an empty bed, and the sight she saw when she walked into the kitchen didn't do anything to help her mood. Right now, she just wanted to drown in a ridiculous amount of coffee to be able to function like a normal human being and not snap at the most, little inconvenient. Paige was so focused on her thoughts, rage, and worries that she didn't realize that not only had Cedric joined Marlynn outside and was watching her, but also, her ride had already pulled up in front of her. Her eyes were unfocused, staring distantly into nothing, her mind was blank and her heart was a jumbled mess of emotions. She yelped when Rain’s car horn sounded, “Are you o
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 10 - A visit to the hospital
Paige“What took you so long, Paige baby? I'm asking again because I've been waiting here for a long time, you know?” Cedric questioned, staring daggers at her, consciously avoiding the other man that accompanied her. As far as Cedric was concerned, this was a family moment and the man was just a stranger, an intruder and he was going to make sure the man knew that he wasn't welcome there. Those cold piercing eyes of his bore holes into Paige’s face and all Paige could feel at that moment was dread. “We stopped along the way to grab coffee, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be ‘extremely’ busy?” Paige asked, emphasizing the extreme to get her point across, but Cedric shook his head. “I'm never too busy to spend time with my mother-in-law.”Lies! Paige wanted to scream, she knew Cedric didn't actually care, he was only acting like this because he felt threatened by Rain. Even though Paige didn't understand why the man felt threatened when he doesn't give two fucks
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 11 - Paige doesn't know
PaigeThe car ride to Grandma’s place was kind of quiet, tense, and awkward. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of Cedric humming an unfamiliar tune which had Paige side-eyeing a couple of times. Cedric only hums whenever he has achieved something significant and in this situation, Paige was quite confused as to what he could have possibly achieved that is leaving him in such a good mood, humming his breath away while she watched the city trying to think about the reason grandma didn't call her directly. All the times Grandma has asked to see her, she has made it a mission to call her directly, she has checked their cell phone a good number of times, and she is perfectly sure she hasn't missed a call or a text message from her. Paige tried to ignore it, maybe it was just a coincidence, the woman was an elder and could call on her at any time and through any means, but she couldn't ignore it and Cedric’s consistent hums didn't do anything to help, it just added to he
My Ex-husband wants me back Party preparation
Paige With two cups of coffee in hand, Paige scans the room to find Rain; it doesn't take long before she spots the black-haired man sitting by the corner near the window of the restaurant. “Peace offering?” She says, causing the other man to chuckle, “I told you I wasn't angry. You didn't have to,”“Well, I felt bad, so just enjoy the coffee, besides I needed it too.”“Stressed?” Paige nodded, “You have no idea, the party is in less than twenty-four hours and I’m not sure I'm ready to attend. I wish I didn't have to,”“Well, I received an anonymous warning not to show up at the party.” Paige gaped at him in shock, “Who would do that?”Rain shrugged, “I was hoping you would have a clue,” Paige shook her head, “I have no idea who will go so low, are you sure it was meant for you? You were invited to the party by Cedric himself and I know him enough to know that if he didn't want you to show up at the party, he would have informed you himself.”“I'm just surprised because no one apa
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 13:: Too sad to dance
PaigeA fleeting expression crossed Cedric’s face that Paige couldn't identify. She only had a few seconds to process it before Cedric leaned forward and kissed her. It was one of those long kisses that Cedric usually kissed her whenever they were in Grandma’s presence. Nevertheless, it didn't stop her from feeling all warm and gooey inside, and she wrapped herself around Cedric, in a lame attempt to hide how jittery she was feeling. She wouldn't do this on a normal day or situation, right now they were trying to please Grandma. They are husband and wife right now, so they had to act accordingly. After a few seconds, Paige wriggled out of his hold, but not without pressing a chase kiss on his lips. She was about to excuse him to get a drink so that he could attend to his guest, so he could go to Marlynn but just as she was about to walk away, Cedric grabbed her back, pushing her against him until she was snuggling into his chest, an arm resting over Paige’s waist. Paige froze i
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 14: The morning after
PaigeStanding on the balcony of Grandma’s residential home, sipping on the warm tea she woke up to see by her bedside, hoping it would numb the constant pounding in her head while she tried to recount her memories of what the fuck happened last night. It’s so weird that she can't seem to recollect anything reasonable or tangible, just some floaty flashes with Cedrica and Rain, aside from that, there is nothing. Paige was so lost in thought that she didn't hear when her room door opened and didn't notice the presence of Cedric entering the room until the latter had his hands wrapped around her bosom and head nuzzled in her hair. “Hi,” Cedric hummed, kissing her hair and ignoring the way Paige’s body tensed in his hold, “You should still be sleeping, why are you out here?”“My alarm woke me up, I couldn't go back to sleep again,” she explained and Cedric hummed in understanding, “What are you still doing here? You should be at the office,”“I took the day off.”“Cedric?”“Hmmm,”“W
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 15 - Just for tonight, let's pretend
PaigeIt was already dark outside when Paige woke up from her deep slumber again, she lay awake on the bed discombobulated by her environment before memories of earlier that morning came flooding her senses again. She glanced around the room and realized that she was in fact alone, did she dream that? Or did Cedric actually show up, hugging her and loving her the way he did? It was so confusing to Paige because there was nobody around to see, so he didn't need to go out of his way to do that. But he did, and Paige loved it and now she is confused if she was dreaming or it actually happened. She knew she wouldn't have answers by sulking on the bed, so she groaned as she pushed herself out of the bed, threw on a bathrobe that sat on the edge of the bed and folded neatly and Paige’s gaze lingered on the material wondering how it got there. “Urgh, this is why I hate taking afternoon naps, I barely remember anything after I wake,” she muttered to herself as she made her way to the kitc
