Adrian

Instead of going to a corner with Elena to hear what she had to say, I called Clem aside.

"What's the meaning of this?" I whispered but the stress in my voice was palpable.

Clem shook her head and made a "I don't know" gesture with her hands and shoulders, cocking her head to the side.

I exhaled, placing my hands on both sides of my waist.

This was very wrong. Elena wasn't supposed to be out for the next six years yet she walked freely to my company and no police accompanied her. Th

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 112 - Wasted efforts

    AdrianInstead of going to a corner with Elena to hear what she had to say, I called Clem aside. "What's the meaning of this?" I whispered but the stress in my voice was palpable. Clem shook her head and made a "I don't know" gesture with her hands and shoulders, cocking her head to the side. I exhaled, placing my hands on both sides of my waist. This was very wrong. Elena wasn't supposed to be out for the next six years yet she walked freely to my company and no police accompanied her. They didn't come looking for a missing prisoner either. I brought out my phone to call the DPO who answered more calm than I expected. "Do you have any idea what's going on here?" I asked, my voice was unable to hide the displeasure I felt. "Over there? No. The only place I'm required to have info about is the police station." He replied, his calm tone icked me. "Well, maybe you should know about a prisoner who is roaming free and even visiting old acquaintances like it's the normal thing to d

    Adrian"She doesn't want me around anymore and I don't think I want to push it." I told the old man when I went to visit them. He'd encouraged me to go for her with everything I had and I did. I almost got her friendship back but she didn't like that. She didn't want me close to her. "Are you sure that's what you want to do?" He asked. "I'm certain." "You can do whatever you want if you're okay with it." He replied simply. I felt relieved he didn't try to persuade me. While speaking with Clara, I noticed she was trying to push me away. She was scared of something that she didn't want to talk about so I decided not to push further and let her do what she wanted. "Thank you." I greeted and turned around to leave when I remembered something that happened that I hadn't told him yet. "There is one more thing." I tilted my head. "Silas came to see me last week." The old man's face barely had an expression but his eyes, there was a glint of something in his eyes I couldn't read. He

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 110 - Making tough decisions

    Author's PovJulian's words wasn't supposed to get to Clara but it did and she started to think too deeply about what he'd told her. She remembered how she constantly had to fight for a place in her husband's life because of the same lady who'd been released from prison. Now that she was out, what next? Adrian would give into her and things would go back to the way they used to be. That wasn't supposed to be a problem but she was scared she'd fallen for him and what happened back then would repeat itself again. Before Adrian and Leo returned that evening, her mind was already made up. She was going to chase him away for good. After hours of fun, they were finally back and they seemed happy and pumped as always. Clara felt a bit sad she was going to spoil the fun. "Leo sweetheart, can you go to your room? I'll join you there." Leo ran up the stairs and she faced Adrian who had no clue what she was about to do. "We need to talk." She started, walking to a corner. "Is anything th

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 109 - Being watched

    Clara I kept to my word. The next weekend we had a date. Leo was ready before he got to the house and he was happy to see Adrian. He'd remembered him from the pack and he ran to embrace him. I watched from the door and tried to hide my expression. But it slipped and he saw the smile on my face at my son's reaction towards him. "Are you sure you're not going to come with us?" Adrian asked me, gesturing to the gate. "It's going to be fun I promise." He added when I was reluctant. "Come with us mom. Let's all have fun together." Leo spoke this time, charged beyond the usual. I hesitated at first but gave in after giving it some thought: I was going there to look after my son and monitor them. Nothing else. That was what I told myself before I grabbed my bag and followed them. "Where would you like to visit?" Adrian asked. It felt strange. The only place we went together were family functions and most of the time, we didn't go in the same car because he always had an en

    Clara His words almost got to me. Almost. Then I remembered the other girl I saw at the restaurant with him. Everything turned sour in my ears. All the right things he said sounded bitter and pathetic. "I wonder if that's what you say to everyone you want to sleep with." I replied to him, holding my chin up so the anger burning in me wouldn't be so obvious. "What are you talking about?" He looked genuinely confused but that was what men did if they wanted to play innocent. "Don't give me that Adrian. I saw her with you yesterday. You took another lady for dinner why your one true love is sitting in jail." As the words left my mouth, it felt like something else left too. Something I'd been holding back. And I continued. "You think I don't know about Elena in jail? You have no shame. One would think after all the things you did to be with her, you would actually remain faithful to her but you're just a pretender." His brows creased at my words and he stared at my face for

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 107 - New Chicks

    Clara I couldn't spend one more second listening to what Adrian had to say, it was as though my chest would burst open from hearing all he was saying about Julian. The worst part was that Julian couldn't defend himself. He couldn't deny what he was accused of, it meant one thing only; he did it truly. I was betrayed and disrespected. After he promised me he wasn't going to do anything regarding Adrian, he went behind my back to arrange tugs to beat him up! I was seething when I got to the car. Grateful I had the keys with me, I opened the car and zoomed off without thinking twice. Thankfully, Leo didn't ask any questions. He just sat quietly on the passenger seat. He didn't even ask why I carried him from the table when he was not done eating. Almost an hour after we arrived home, the door was pushed open and Julian walked in. His shoulders stooped low and he looked like he'd fought ghosts on his way home. I expected him to show up at the house so when he came, I started

I also remember Roxy's words telling me I sat back and let another woman help my husband when I was the one who did the whole wor
