THREE CHANCES LEFT EX-HUSBAND Chapter Thirteen: When It Starts to Break
Dione's POVSilence lay damp and heavy throughout the journey like a pressure foam.Instead, my ears sang and sirened on their own, save for the several honks, loud screeches, and roaring revs of the traffic on Philipa Street.Alexander's gaze remained on the streets and his hands on the steering wheel while I melted into the leather seat beside him. My head rested on the neck guide and was slightly tilted to the side towards Alexander.He used to be vibrant, teasy, and playful, but now he has suddenly grown cold and very impassive. I can't help but wonder if he is alright on the inside.The way he’s warm this moment and chilly the next. The way he would say sweet things, but his eyes remain stoic and void of feeling, like the words didn’t just roll out of his mouth.Suddenly, he cleared his throat and his voice pierced through the haze of silence like a knife. “I've been on my thoughts lately and I want to be sure you are safe in that house with him,” he stated rather than asked.I s
THREE CHANCES LEFT EX-HUSBAND Chapter Twelve : At the grave place
Dione's POVMy body stiffened when I heard that familiar voice behind me.Alexander?I turned to see him, Alexander was standing about a few feet away from me.His hands were flipped into his pocket. How long has he been standing over there?And this time he wore a dark colored suit that I couldn't point out because of the weather I hadn't realized had darkened.Maybe black or dark purple or dark brown. But he exuded this luxuriant aura that screamed graciousness, though he was quite silent as he hadn't said anything…except my name.“You shouldn't be out here alone,” he finally let off a deep grunt, moved towards me and started undressing.“Alexander?” I called as my heart skipped.Why is he pulling his clothes off?“You'd catch a cold out here dressed like that,” his voice was soft as he scolded, crouching down to my level and placing his suit jacket over my shoulders, so that his finger scraped my shoulder sending a bolt of electricity running through my frame.I blinked.Now that
THREE CHANCES LEFT EX-HUSBAND Chapter Eleven : Being a Child again.
Dione's POV My phone rang again, the third time. And I didn't only hang up but this time, I hung up and switched it to mute mode, returning my attention on my path as I found my way out of the beach side towards my car.If I didn't know better I'd mistake Aldric's multiple calls as an emergency over something important.My phone buzzed and vibrated again. I checked. Aldric, again. My eyes dulled and drained of feeling.And my mind filled up to the brim with a thousand thoughts.A sigh escaped my lips.I threw my phone into my bag, ignoring the call and just settling into the car.And then I heard a car rev up from a distance, just as I almost drove away.Kalen.I noticed Kalen and one other man in the silver SUV.How long have they been there?I didn't need bodyguarding now.I wanted to be left alone.“Hey!” I waved my hand and hollered to get their attention to me and then I returned my hands and waited as they approached.“Hi,” I greeted in response to their curt bows.“Can you gu
THREE CHANCES LEFT EX-HUSBAND Chapter Ten: Long lost lawyer friend
Dione's POVThe whooshing wind blew through my hair. I felt my skin tingle in response to the cold breeze that slapped on it.The beach side smelled like freedom and nature.The grumbling water sooshed to my feet and as soon as it touched my sandals it returned to its gentle territory of white sea sands.There.At the far left, seagulls flapped and flew about, their loud squawks piercing into the serene atmosphere.“ It's good to see you,” I turned at the sound of Victoria's voice. Her sharp blue eyes twinkled with delightment. And though her brown hair is packed up in a low pony, it blew everywhere and all over her face as she smiled.I forced a smile,“I guess it's the same here too,” I replied, adjusting my blazer colar and the inky eye glass that seemed to slip on my nose bridge.“It had better be the same, Dee, cause God! That dude forced you to cut me off, like duh!” Victoria rolled her eyes into her head, “ what really happened when I was away? I mean when I was locked out.” She

Dione's POV“What?” His eyes went wide.Aldric's face turned white like plain paper.Lily's face morphed from surprise to a devilish smirk.“You don't think I will believe that crap right?” Aldric asked, disgustingly, “ you are not going to abandon the company you watched grow just like that. I mean, thanks to your sorry face at the hotel, the company has gone all over the internet.” The way he confirmed that openly without remorse wriggled my heart. And I promise myself to clarify my tainted reputation, no matter what.“ Let's see how long your strategy lasts,” I said, my voice tight.“Here's your necklace, Dione, you can have it,” Lily said, stretching it to me finally, her face still ragged with pretentious tears. And I felt relief at least.When I reached to take it from her, she cuffed my hand tightly in hers. My face shrinked in confusion.I struggled to free my fingers, but they remained stuck in hers.Demon-like smirk tore through her lips. Her eyes glinted with desperation,
THREE CHANCES LEFT EX-HUSBAND Chapter Eight : Return The heirloom
Dione's POVAldric's voice raised and wavered in threat, “ Drink to Lily's accomplishment.”A gasp forced my lips to part.My heart banged with utter helplessness.If I hadn't dealt myself the mistake of giving my kidney to Aldric. Maybe this day wouldn't come when I will have to be compelled to drink to satisfy anyone.And there, Lily stood, that bastard. Her eyes wide but not in surprise this time. But in excitement and satisfaction.She knew the truth. She knew I can't drink it. And I think that adds to the triumph in the corner of her lips.Lily strolled steadily towards me, her voice deceitful. “ She doesn't have to drink, I will just return the necklace to her, I don't want to get between you two.” Aldric waved his hand dismissively, “ Let her do it, she's the senior and she's okay with it, right Dione? It's for the company.”All this while I've been wondering why I ever thought everyone from a humble background was really humble in character. But I was a fool.Because why will
