OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 144 – JAMES ALIGNS WITH MEN OF THE UNDERWORLD
JAMESMegan’s voice still rang in my head as I stood on the other side of the door, gripping the keys until they bit into my palm.“…be prepared to lose everything. Not just them, but yourself too.”The kids, together with Shantel, meant the whole world to me. I love them as much as I love Shantel.And still, Megan didn’t stop. Her tongue was a blade, and she swung it without mercy. “I know men like you, James. All bark, no backbone. You’ll sell anyone for a little power.”I clenched my jaw and looked away.Then Kristie’s voice interrupted the storm. Soft, distracted, coming from the stairs. “Mom, what’s going on?” she asked as she descended with Shantel in her arms.The second Shantel spotted me, her eyes lit up.“Daddy!” she squealed, wriggling down from Kristie’s arms and bolting toward me. She crashed into my legs and hugged me tightly, her small hands holding onto me like I was her whole world.“You’ve been so busy these days,” she pouted, pulling back to look up at me. “I missed

JAMESI was nearly out. The front door clicked softly as I eased it open, the cold air kissing my face like freedom. I had one foot across the line when her voice sliced through the silence behind me.“And where exactly do you think you’re going, James?”Damn it.I didn’t turn immediately. Just stood there, my back to her, hand still on the doorknob. “Got an emergency call,” I said, faking calm. “Need to step out. Work stuff.”“Emergency?” Megan scoffed. “There’s nothing urgent or important about your whole existence.”I turned, finally facing her. She was leaning against the hallway wall in her robe, arms crossed, one brow raised like she had been waiting for this moment all night.“Look, Megan, I don’t owe you every detail of my life.”“No, you don’t,” she said, pushing off the wall. “And I don’t care what mess you’re about to run into tonight. Just don’t drag my daughter down with you.” She paused, eyes narrowing. “Though I’ve noticed, James, you’ve been moving funny lately. Slippi
OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 142 – ORION HAD IT COMING
THIRD PARTYThe night wind carried a stillness that felt unnatural, the streets unusually quiet as Gideon made his way through the dim alleys of the hood. Tilda and the kids were safe—for now. It was time to confront the filth that had almost ruined everything.Orion.He knew where to find him. Rats like Orion always went scurrying back to the shadows after stirring trouble. And Gideon had walked those shadows long enough to know every corner, every crack, every hidden den that scum like Orion used as cover.He reached the hideout in less than fifteen minutes.It was one of the gang’s known dens—a crumbling warehouse at the edge of Dagger Street. He didn’t knock. He didn’t announce himself. Gideon was his own force. His reputation had been built with blood, and no one—no one, not even the most ruthless in the hood—dared to test him.Except Orion.And tonight, that rat was going to pay.Inside, Orion’s voice echoed faintly from the back room, laughing at something. Probably boasting ab
OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 141 – I AM NOT INDEBTED TO OSCAR GRAY
TILDAI had asked the question without really expecting an answer. It wasn’t directed at Gideon, not truly. It was more like I had thrown the words at the air, at the heaviness in my chest, at the confusion that was slowly tightening its grip on me.I hadn’t taken anything from Oscar. I hadn’t tricked him. I was going to tell him about the kids. I never planned to keep them from him forever. There was no debt—no secret deal or betrayal. I don’t owe Oscar Gray a cent, and I had walked away clean.Oscar Gray wasn’t the kind of man anyone played games with. While I was with him, I treaded carefully. I didn’t use our relationship as a ladder to get ahead in the company. I worked. I earned everything I was paid. And when it ended, I let it end.So, why was he after me?Gideon’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. “I can't say the reason, Tilda. I don’t know the nature of your relationship with him.”I kept staring at him, trying to read more than just his words. Silence fell again, th
OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 140 – JAMES USES THE SITUATION TO HIS ADVANTAGE
OSCARAfter I dropped the call, my face tightened.“I knew it,” I spat, my voice sharp with irritation.Steven straightened from where he stood across the room, concern flickering in his expression. “What’s going on? What was that call about?”“That was Ghaza,” I replied, dragging a hand down my face. “Orion placed another false call. Again.”Steven shifted. “Oh no, I thought this time was real”“Of course it’s not,” I snapped, then sighed, forcing myself to speak with more clarity. “I warned Ghaza not to meet with Orion. Someone like him is only looking for some quick cash.”Stephen’s brow furrowed. “Still… I don’t think it’s completely useless. In this search for Tilda and the kids, nothing should be ruled out. Every step, no matter how small, could lead to something.”I let his words hang. For a while, I said nothing. The silence stretched between us, then I nodded slowly. “Maybe you’re right.”Without waiting another second, I picked up my phone and called Ghaza back.“Send word t

THIRD PERSONGideon returned to the room, heart still racing, and carefully lifted the hatch to the roof. One by one, he helped them down—Tilda, Diamond, Miranda, and the boys. As soon as the last small foot touched the floor, Gideon stepped back, overwhelmed by the sight of them safe and unharmed.He didn’t realize when his arms pulled them all close. Tilda didn’t resist. The children clung to him, warm and shaking. A tear slid down Gideon’s weathered cheek, and he let it.“Thank you,” Tilda murmured into his shoulder, voice low and raw.“No,” Gideon said, shaking his head slowly. His grip only tightened. In his mind, he repeated, I should be the one thanking you all—for staying safe. For not getting caught.“I was so scared up there, Uncle Gideon,” Diamond whispered, her small fingers tightening around his. “Who are those men? Are they bad men? Why are they after us?”Gideon crouched down until he was level with her, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. “Don’t worry, littl
