Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 144: Dwindling Hope
M I C H A E LThe next morning, I was all dressed up to go to the police station. My sister was going to watch after Luna while I went out.Luna was crying and whining as she reached her tiny hands up to me and the sight of her looking like that broke my heart.I would have stayed with her, but this was something urgent that couldn't wait."Come here, little baby," my sister cooed, reaching her hands out to take her, but Luna only cried louder.Dana was the only family I had who didn't give up on me because of my lifestyle. Surely, she wasn't in support of all I did in the past, but she was the one person I could rely on.She had her own daughter and had a stable job.But, the sight of my niece was enough to tell me that taking care of a child was no joke and it really wasn't. Luna was the cutest and prettiest baby, and her cries were louder than anything I have ever heard, and her tantrums were far worse.My mother has long disowned me, swearing that she never wants to be associated

M I C H A E LI was standing in the company of one of the most influential men in the country.The man was powerful.The man was respected.I was able to pull a few strings and get him a meeting with me, and I was now facing him.He looked intimidating and strong, his gaze was cold and his features were sharp. He was dressed in an all-black suit and was staring straight ahead.His presence demanded attention."How many I help you, Mr. Man?" The term was disrespectful, but the last thing I wanted was to cause any problems when I needed his help.He was my only hope right now. The only man who had the power to get Emory out of the mess she had gotten herself into.Hopefully, it all works out like I have it planned or else I'd be fucked."It is a pleasure to meet you, sir. I'm Michael Carter""Michael Carter. Never heard of that name before. Who are you and why have you come here?""Mr. Jeremy, I came here to talk about the woman who you had thrown behind bars."He cocked an eyebrow. "I'v

M I C H A E LI arrived at the cell the next day, another day of leaving a crying Luna at home with my sister.I was starting to think she has colic, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's reacting to the tension surrounding her.She has a lot of tension surrounding her. Something that definitely wasn't safe was a two weeks old. She doesn't deserve to be thrown into our mess. And Emory was no different. Luna deserves to have a mother who loves her unconditionally and not use her for her own dubious intentions.And now, I was going to be the bearer of bad news.The officers gave me the familiar judgemental glares as they searched me and led me to the cell.And there, Emory was lying on the small string bed, her hand covering her face.She seemed to be lost in her thoughts.I cleared my throat, and her eyes snapped open.When she saw me, she slowly stood up and came closer, wrapping her fingers around the bars.Emory has spent exactly on week in prison, and her face has completely changed

E M O R YI was angry.I was pissed.It's been two days since Michael had the audacity to suggest I give up on the company for that man. Give up all I'd worked for. He had the nerve to come and rub it in my face.How was I supposed to survive without that company?Without my share of the profit, without the money?Was he seriously asking me to choose between my freedom and the company?And what would be the use of my freedom if I couldn't provide for myself? No one would want to employ someone who has jail records, and I wouldn't be surprised if people shied away from me because of my criminal record.So, if I lost the company, I lost the business and my reputation.My life was over.Everything was ruined.And he has the nerve to rub salt on the wound by telling me I could go to jail.Who the fuck does he think he is?Why does he keep meddling in my affairs?What did he want from me?Does he hate me that much and want me to suffer?What is his deal?I was pacing around the cell, wait

E M O R YI was seated in a room, my lawyer, Mr. Jeremy and his lawyer and Michael were in the same room.We were all sitting around a table.And the silence was unbearable.The tension was thick."We are gathered here to discuss the final settlement.""As we have already informed you, the case will begin tomorrow, and this is your last chance to come up with a reasonable settlement. We don't want to take the matter into a court trial. If we can settle this today, it would save everyone a lot of trouble. So, I'll give you a minute to think about our offer." Mr. Jeremy's lawyer said. They both turned to look at me, waiting for my response.I looked at Michael, who was staring at me with a straight face. He was looking at me with a blank expression, and there was nothing there, no emotions. No remorse, no concern, no pity.He was cold.He was not on my side, and he wasn't fighting for me.I turned back to Jeremy. "We don't have to do this. I swear to never use those chemicals for my pr

M I K H A I LElle was sleeping in my bedroom and I needed to get some paperwork done before she wakes up. I took the day off, focusing on spending more time with her. "Why don't you get a restraining order against him? This guy seems like he's got a few screws loose, bro. God knows what he'll try to do to her next." Ivan said through the phone and I sighed. "Trust me, Ivan. I've tried proposing that to Elle. But, she's really underestimating that man. She thinks he won't come back.""She's being too naïve. Guys like that don't take no for an answer.""And they sure as hell don't stop after the first warning. That's why I want a restraining order. But, she's being too stubborn and she's refusing. He'll come back. It's a matter of when. Not if.""Maybe the guy learned his lesson and will leave her alone. You've already beaten the shit out of him. That's not enough for you?""You and I both know he's not going to stop until he has her back.""So, what are you planning on doing?""I do

M I K H A I LShe stood up, pulling down her panties , and taking off her nightgown, her gorgeous body on display.I stood up, wrapping my arm around her waist and lifting her, her legs encircling me. I was painfully hard and I couldn't even ignore it anymore. I kissed her lips hungrily, her neck, her jaw, her shoulder, making my way back to her lips.She was moaning, grinding against my erection, and I felt like I was going to burst.I set her down on the desk, and stepped between her legs, unbuckling my pants and pulling them down."God, I need you so much." She said, and grabbed the hem of my shirt, pulling it up, and over my head."I'm here, baby. I'm here." I murmured, pinching one of her hardened nipple and she moaned. I was so turned on, my cock throbbing in her hand as she pumped me, her hooded eyes fixed on mine."Take me, baby." She spread her legs wider, an irresistible invitation into her cunt. I didn't have to ask twice.I lifted her slightly and lined myself up, thrus

E L L EA smile appeared unconsciously on my face as I reminisced about my weekend spent at Mikhail's house. He has been nothing but wonderful and kind to me. He's everything I ever wanted and more.We talked for hours, cooked together, showered together, and just enjoyed each other's company.It was the most relaxed I've ever felt.Being in Mikhail's embrace made me feel like nothing bad could happen, and for once, I actually believed that.I was happy and I wanted this feeling to never end.It's been years since I've felt this happy.Years.If anyone had told me one year ago that I'd give love a chance once again, giving my heart and trust to someone, I would have laughed in their face.Now, look at me.I've been single for over five years and have never had any interest in a man until now. Until him.He swept me off my feet and did what another man couldn't do for over five years in just a few months. He fought to win my heart and won it.Mikhail has made me want to be with him ever

G I O V A N N AI smiled, and put the phone away, before heading down the stairs with Sebastian who had also freshened up. He was wearing a gray shirt, and a pair of dark pants. We found Fabian seated at the dinner table, eating his food, and a maid served Sebastian and I our plates.I hadn't realized how hungry I was, so I dug in, and didn't stop eating, until my plate was empty.Sebastian also cleaned his plate, and the maid came to remove our plates. Fabian was looking at Sebastian with amusement, and I was curious as to what he was thinking."So, young man. What do you do for a living?""I'm a businessman, sir.""A businessman? That's interesting. What is it that you do?""Well, I own a lot of businesses, and have several investments around the world.""Ah, I see. Well, let's get straight into business, shall we? Sebastian, I need you to be prepared, because once we find Laura, she might not be the same girl you met and fell in love with. The kidnappers, they don't care about how
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 239: Blood War
G I O V A N N AThe plane landed in Italy, and it was registered in my blood that I was back here again. Not for good this time.For a blood war. I was either going to return home alive with Laura, or I die trying to save her. But, it will take a whole village to think they could kill me.I was Giovanna Vause, a mafia princess, and daughter of a powerful mafia boss. And, the most notorious and feared one.My father's reputation preceded him, and his enemies feared him, and the power he had.He was ruthless and cold-blooded before he died, and me not taking over his empire was a matter of choice, because his blood ran through my body.Sebastian and I stepped out of the plane, and we were greeted by two men, both holding guns, and wearing the black suit that identified them as part of the Vause's Mafia Family."Miss Vause. We are happy to have you back home. I hope your flight was smooth.""Yes, it was. Thank you."He smiled, and then, he was looking at Sebastian. "Ma'am, we made prepar

E L L EMy heart rate went up as the doctor and nurses prepared me for labor. They gave me instructions, and told me what was going to happen.The doctor and the nurse put on their gloves, and the nurse helped me put my feet up in the stirrups, and the doctor positioned himself between my legs.I gripped Mikhail's hand tightly, and he held my hand, whispering words of encouragement."Alright, Elle. I want you to start pushing now. You can do it. Just push.""Come on, baby. Push. You can do it. Just listen to the doctor's orders. Listen, and do whatever he says. Everything is going to be just fine." Mikhail whispered comfortingly as he stroked my hair, giving me strength. I nodded, and bit down on my lip as I started pushing. It hurt so bad, but the thought of finally seeing my baby in the flesh gave me the strength I needed to keep going."The baby is crowning, Elle. Keep going. Keep pushing." "Come on, love. You're doing so great.""Baby's head is out. Alright, Elle. One more big p

E L L EBlood drained from my face as an excruciating pain hit the bottom of my belly, and blood rolled down my legs.My heart jumped in my chest as Mikhail flew to my side, and helped me off the bed."What's happening? I think something is wrong with the baby, Mikhail. I- I aah!" I screamed as the pain intensified, and I bent over, feeling lightheaded.Mikhail was talking to someone on the phone, and he was yelling, his voice panicked."Elle, love. Listen to me, okay. We have to go.""Where are we going?""To the hospital, love. We have to get you there. It's going to be okay.""O-o-k-kay," I managed to choke out.He picked me up, and carried me out of the house, and straight into the car.He strapped me in, and closed the door, getting in on the other side. He started the engine, and drove down the road."Is- is- the- the baby gonna be okay?" I said, watching the blood spread, and the pain increased."Yes, love. The baby is gonna be fine. Just hang in there, baby."I nodded, and clo

M I K H A I LAs the weeks flew by, we were getting closer and closer to Elle's due date. In two weeks time, she'd be entering the very last month of her pregnancy.And I've been angsty, Michael hasn't got much information on Emory, and we still have no idea where the threats were coming from, and what we were dealing with.Everything had been quiet, and there were no news. It was as if we had entered a state of limbo.A weird, calm, limbo.I wanted to be hopeful, but my gut was telling me that she was up to something, and whatever it was, wasn't good.And, I was right.Elle was at home, and safe, and I had decided to spend the day with her. She was in the kitchen, which I had frowned upon but she had insisted that she was craving 'Her' own food. She was making cookies, and I was watching her, and making sure she wasn't overdoing it.Her bump had gotten bigger, and she was looking more and more like a balloon.She was wearing a grey, oversized t-shirt, and black sweatpants, and her ha

G I O V A N N ASebastian left a couple of minutes ago, to go get ready for our flight tonight. I placed back and forth, tugging my hair in frustration.I should have known that allowing Laura go to Italy all on her own was a bad idea. But for some reason, she has insisted on nobody coming with her, which was quite suspicious, because everyone knows how much Laura hayes bring in Italy, because of the horrid memories it holds for her.Something was off, and I had no idea what it was.I could have insisted more on her to let Sebastian come with her, or maybe me. Or even, one of my trusted security men.But, she had refused, saying it was important that she was alone, and now, look what had happened.She was gone.With no trace of who had abducted her, and no single lead.I was losing my mind.I was worried sick, and had been calling non-stop, asking for updates, and I had none. Avery came up to me, stopping my movements. "Relax. You will find her."I groaned. "This is so frustrating. Th

S E B A S T I A NIt's been exactly twenty four hours of calling Laura's number non-stop, and no response.Something was wrong.Really, fucking, wrong.Laura had never missed a call from me, and especially since she had promised to keep communication open. I have dropped more than 300 missed calls, and several texts, yet no response.Where was she?The last text she had sent me was twenty six hours , telling me that the funeral was ongoing and she would facetime me when she gets back home. But, she didn't. Something was definitely wrong.My heart was pounding in my chest, and anxiety was slowly taking over. Where was she?I was having a really bad feeling about her, and I didn't know if I was worrying for nothing or my worries were indeed valid. Laura wouldn't intentionally ignore my calls, knowing I'm sick with worry.What if something happened to her?What if she was attacked?What if her father's funeral had taken a turn for the worse? What if someone was holding her captive?Or, w
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 233: Plain Cruelty
L A U R AThe shot rang in my ears, and I watched in horror as blood spurted from Marco's mouth and his body slumped to the floor."What did you do?!" Bile rose in my throat as I watched the horrific sight in front of me, a cold shiver and a feeling of deja vu running through my body.I have seen Viktor take people's life like it was nothing too many times. He kills humans faster than he kills a mosquito. He has no compassion, no emotions, no remorse. He's a monster.If you think my father was horrible, Viktor is ten times worse than him. He's the devil incarnate."Why? Why did you do that? He was innocent.""What he deserved. No one, and I mean, no one, will ever defy me. If he can't do his job, he is useless. There's no use keeping a man who's a coward. I'll have to get another one who is not a pussy like Marco to get the job done, sí?"My mind ran fast, and I had to think of a way to convince him against this. "What's the point of allowing another man to touch what is yours? It's o
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 232: Time to Play
L A U R AI felt a pinch on my arm, and I snapped my head to the side, to watch Viktor piercing a needle in my arm."What the fuck are you doing?""This is going to help you relax. You're tense, and nervous, and I don't want you to make a scene. Not now. Not when we're so close to finally being together again. So, stop struggling, and enjoy the ride. You will get there, eventually."He injected the contents into my blood stream, and I watched him, and the man driving, as the world around me started spinning.And, the last thing I saw was Viktor's smiling face.A face that had haunted me every single day, and a face that was the last thing I had ever wanted to see again.It was a nightmare.I slumped on the seat, and blacked out."Wakey, wakey, sleeping beauty. Wake the fuck up. I've waited too long for this."I heard Viktor's voice, and I struggled to open my eyes. I blinked a few times, and the room came into focus.I was in a room, sitting in a chair, with my hands tied behind me, an
