Pursuing Ex-Wife's Heart Again

An persistent beeping disturbed my slumber. I tried to ignore the irritating noise, but it seemed to be coming from under my pillow. “She moved!” someone shouted. “Doctor!” “Arrrgh,” I groaned, then more voices accompanied the incessant beeping. A bright light flashed before my closed eyes. Annoyed, I scrunched my face in displeasure. “She’s responsive,” a voice said with authority.I pulled myself from sleep, opening my eyes just to tell everyone to shut up. As soon as I moved, pain engulfed my head. Many strange faces surrounded me. All but one wore white doctor’s coats or nurse’s scrubs. Vera stood behind them, looking out of place in a colorful top and jeans. Her red, puffy eyes made her look older than I remembered. “Why am I in a hospital?” I whispered. “You were in an accident,” Vera said. “Do you remember?” I tried to sit up. “Don’t,” the nearest doctor said. “You have a head injury that hasn’t quite healed yet. Let us assess you first.”I put a hand to my head and felt

Alexander's POVAs I drove with no specific destination in mind, I recalled how Olivia had become a part of my life.In college, I only had eyes for Kira. I was just a year older than her back then. At twenty-four, Kira had the body of a supermodel and had already graced the covers of several popular magazines. Her perfect body and pretty face drove me mad with desire. We were both from worthy families, and it felt so right to be with her. Though she was a social media freak, I understood her. I loved her and planned to marry her once we completed college in only a couple of months.Then there was Olivia. She was always there trying to please me, but I ignored her because my heart was already taken. Kira was not the type to serve a man, but Olivia was prepared to do anything for me. Yet it was Kira I wanted. When I told Kira I wanted to introduce her to my parents as the girl I wanted to marry, she agreed with excitement. My family would have accepted her because she was from a famil

Olivia's POVI lay on the bed for a while after taking the medication Violet gave me. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep and then into a dream. In it, I was in a familiar, yet unrecognizable room. From there, I went into a hallway then down a spiral staircase. That felt familiar as well, like I had used it before, though I couldn’t recall where or when. It led to a living room, dining room, and kitchen, each of which held that same eerie familiar feeling. As I stood in the kitchen wondering whose house I was in and why it felt so familiar, yelling came from a faceless female standing at the kitchen door. “What are you doing standing there like an imbecile? Aren't you supposed to be cleaning, you lazy gold digger?” She scoffed and then continued. "You can keep trying, but my brother will never love you. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.” Another faceless female figure appeared behind the first. “You’ll always be the piece of silly trash you are," she said. “You’re worthless and don'

Alexander's POV The day Olivia walked up to me with the divorce papers, I was shocked. The first question I asked myself was, has she stopped loving me? The idea of losing her sent chills down my spine and made fear grip my heart. When I was very young, I was diagnosed with a condition, bipolar disorder. My parents thought I could never have a normal life. My mum became the reason I acted normal. She knew what to say to me and how to handle me all through my life. I met Kira and she awakened something else in me. I never stopped talking about her. It was like I was healed from my condition until that day when she left. Kira leaving me took a toll on me and I blamed Olivia for it. However, Olivia, coming into my life helped me heal. Olivia loved to sing and it comforted me. She respected me and loved to serve me. These little things had a positive impact on me. However, I couldn't forgive her for making Kira dumped me and hence I couldn't show her love. My family treated her badly a

Alexander's POV I sat on the bathroom floor and was suddenly hit by a strong emotion. The thought of Olivia occupied my mind. I just couldn't get her out of my mind. "She can't leave me," I said to myself. I stayed in my room and didn't go to the office for a while. I did my office work from home. Ezra called me and told me about the party at the hotel for Olivia. My lips curled up into a smile. "Get me all the details," I said. "It's happening tonight, sir," Ezra said. "Great," I replied. "We are going for a party tonight," I said but Ezra spoke again. "Sir, I found the Leo guy," he said. "Go ahead," I urged him, a tinge of anger evident in my voice. "His name is Leo Smith, the CEO of a well-known company in New York City. He owns the Construction Company at Aventura. It is one of the branches of his company. He arrived in Florida a week ago and he has an invitation to Ms Olivia's party," Ezra informed. "So Leo from college is the one Olivia is going out with now," I said
