Victoria

I had never stepped foot in a prison before. I had no business here anyway, but today, as I entered, the scent of disinfectant and something rotten beneath it attacked my nostrils, making me crinkle my nose in disgust.

The walls looked dull and lifeless, like the people in orange jumpsuits who walked past me. But none of them mattered. I was here for one person.

Lydia.

I walked over to the officer and informed him of my reasons for being there. Being a socialite, he immediately recognized me and rushed to do my bidding.

I walked into the visitor's room and sat patiently; after only a couple of minutes, I heard the other door open and watched as she made her way in.

When she saw me, her whole body stiffened. Good. My smirk widened at her expression, but not for long, as my gaze drifted to her stomach instead. She was pregnant?

How?

Why?!

My expression contorted in disgust as I stared at her. I wondered if Mason knew of this but then concluded that he did not.

  • My ex-husband’s nightmare   Chapter 175

    LydiaMy hands, which were on my laptop, paused, and I raised my head to look at her. I had imposed a rule, stating that I never wanted to see Julia on my property, especially after the last drama she created. So, the security personnel at the gate knew never to allow her in. “You know what to do,” I said, returning my attention to my laptop. “Hmm… but it seems she is really bent on seeing you this time. Mark said she doesn't intend to leave until she speaks to you. She said it's important.” “She should speak to Mark then,” I instructed. I do not want to think too much about this. After what she and Victoria did, I did not even want to have any conversations with her. “Alright, ma.” While she was still standing, Mia called the security man and placed the call on speaker, “Tell her to speak.” I heard us say at the same time, scanning the document I had opened. But I could barely concentrate as I had to listen to her conversation with Mark. “She has refused to say she wants to sp

    LydiaMy heels clicked loudly on the floor as I walked to the car, which was parked at a distance. Mia walked by my side. Once we got close, she stepped forward and opened the door for me to enter. Cold breeze slapped my face as I entered the car. Once I settled into the warm car, I pulled my jacket, watching Mia walk around to sit beside me. The driver ignited the engine and drove off. Mia scrolled down her screen, “How many hours do we have before the next agenda?” I asked as I looked out of the window. The sky was covered by dark clouds, which drifted lazily. “The next agenda will start in twenty minutes, we have to be present before then.” She said just as the car stopped in front of a black Hyundai. I groaned as I lay my head on the headrest and closed my eyes. “Can it be moved?” I asked, exhausted from the just-concluded meeting. “No, the president of City C will stay in the hotel for a few days, and as a VVIP, it's required that you accompany other politicians to welcome h

    Gloria “I'm riding back with Grandma,” Melanie said excitedly as she ran to me. I picked her up, then looked down to see Liam standing close to my leg, “Do you want me to carry you too?” I asked, and he shook his head. “Melanie, Mom isn't going home; she has somewhere to be.” Lydia walked out, hand in hand with Mason. There was a man behind them pulling their luggage. The airport was buzzing with people moving around. After spending three days with them at the resort, we hurried back before the date as something urgent came up at the company that required Lydia's immediate attention.Melanie's face fell. “Don't worry, Grandma will come home early and spend the rest of the day with you,” I said, which did little to brighten the girl's face. Zoe walked out after a while. She wore jeans and a casual top, her hair was tied into a rough bun. She smoothened her hair, “I'm going with Gloria.” She declared, leaving me puzzled, What's with everyone going with me? Lydia and Mason entered

    LydiaHer voice carried a hint of threat, but I wasn't one to be afraid of such nutjobs. She took one step forward, crossing her hand over her chest, “I won't be repeating this.” I scrunched up my face and hurriedly took a step to the side, closing my nose with my hand. I threw a pointed look at her, genuinely curious how a human mouth can smell that bad. She squinted, “Your breath stinks, don't come close to me when you speak,” I warned, then walked past her. Before I got to the door, I felt a sharp pain in my head. She tugged on my hair and pulled me back. I turned, removing her hand from my hair, and at once I flung her over my shoulders. The pain in my head didn't relieve me, but at least I taught her a lesson. She groaned on the floor, holding her waist and turning herself from side to side, but I wasn't done yet.I pulled her hair and tugged on it roughly; of course, she had to experience the same pain. She twisted her body trying to get out of my hold, but I tightened my gr

    LydiaAfter spending two hours seated in front of a stylist and a makeup artist, my waist felt stiff, but the good part was that my look transformed, and I went from a ten to a thousand. I took one last satisfied look at my reflection before walking out of the room. Mason's room, where he was to get dressed, was just across mine. I inhaled slowly before reaching for the doorknob. Once I entered, the smile on my face shook when I saw Mason. His shoulders were hunched up, and his body was bent over. He didn't even notice I had entered the room.I took slow steps forward and another, still, Mason didn't turn, he just kept typing away, and from his reflection on the mirror, I noticed his brows were drawn together, and his jaw ticked.On getting towards him, I tapped him on the shoulder, and he flinched. He turned quickly, tucking the phone into his pocket. “Hey, love,” he said, then leaned down to me. His smile didn't reach his eyes. “You look stunning!” He declared, taking a step bac

    MasonImmediately, Liam's voice turned clear, I stood, and without thinking, ran towards the body of water. The sand was round under my feet, but my eyes remained pinned on the girl struggling, wagging her hand as the current took her away. Wind slapped my face, and so did Lydia's voice in my ear from behind. My heart rammed heavily against my chest.Once I got close to the water, I dived into it and fought against the current, swimming towards my girl who had lost the will to struggle and just allowed the water to take her away. One hand pushed the water away, and the other did the same as I pushed myself towards her.The water was cold, and my body shook, not from the cold, but from the fear that clenched my chest, raw fear, different from what I've known before.I got closer and grabbed a handful of her clothes. I pulled her as I swam back, keeping her head above water. Once I got close to the shore, I stood carrying her over my shoulder and hurried towards Lydia, who was already
