Edward’s pov

“No. Tired of you,” I said. My voice was calm but sharp. “I don’t want this anymore.”

Her face changed immediately. She blinked and sat up straight. “What do you mean?”

“You’re in my house, this is not how it should be. We were done a long time ago. Why are you back?”

She scoffed. “You can’t be serious now.”

“Oh, I am. You should leave.”

She frowned. “What’s changed?”

“ I’m tired of it,” I said.

“Edward,” she said, sharply. “I’m not leaving.”

That was the first time she was going against my words and I found it intriguing that she would be bold enough to tell me that.

“What do you mean by that?” I said, in a confused tone. “I just told you to leave.”

She laughed but it wasn’t a nice laugh. It was a cold, sharp, completely fake laugh.

“You think you’ll tell me to go and I’ll go?”

“That’s how this works. I not changing my mind so when I tell you to leave my house, you leave my fucking house. That’s not changing.”

Her smile got bigger now. Her hands went slow as one of them

  • Winning My Ex Wife   Chapter 187

    Edward’s povHe showed pictures of Charlotte and the different men she had been with. He showed the fake pregnancy test that she had forged. He showed the bank transfers for Vincent, the offshore accounts, the false invoices, and the years of embezzlement tied to both of them. He showed Charlotte’s fraudulent documents linking her to her shady overseas deals.My lawyer looked at me.“I’m not going to lie, I’ve never seen so many evidence. Even if the judge was bribed, he would never agree to this. Millions laundered, stolen. This is madness.”I smiled as my lawyer got to his feet.“Your Honour, I’m not going to lie, but these two aren’t fit to raise a child. Charlotte and Vincent… they are not fit for anything. The only one fit is a couple I know, Eloise and Edward. Those other two… they should not be allowed to walk free with all they’ve done.”Cameras clicked as reporters started to scribble down like mad. Vincent’s face was drained and Charlotte’s face was pale.“This is a setup!”

    Edward’s povHe raised his hand.“Hey buddy, I had no idea she was here. I just got out from a night shift in my security job, and I’m going to my other job as a lighthouse worker. I have no idea who she is or how she got here.”I wanted to hit him, but Eloise stopped me.“We’ve gotten what we’ve come for. Let’s just go.”I gave a small nod as I lifted her out of the place. She was sobbing as Eloise hugged me and her. I gave Eloise Selena and led her out. Just as we were going, police cars lined the docks as some officers stepped out. We looked at them.“What’s going on? You’re just finding out now that she’s here?”One of them came closer.“Actually, Mr. Edward, as much as we apologize for the kidnapping of your daughter, who seems to be in good hands, well, we’re here on another matter.”I folded my arms.“Which is?”“Well, we have a signed custody agreement here granting that Selena be given to Charlotte, and it was signed by you.”I looked at the woman before me like she was crazy

    Charlotte’s povI parked my car and got out of the vehicle with a stretch. Then I looked to the abandoned warehouse. With a sigh, I walked towards it. It was filled with rust and dust, but I didn’t care. I had business to take care of. Inside, I found a man that made me smile. “Vincent Bassett,” I said with a smile. He was Edward’s uncle… the man most of the family members whispered about but no one dared to talk about. He sat in a chair, smoking, while his silver hair was gleaming under the bulb. He looked at me. “You’re late,” he said in a rough voice.I ignored his words as I moved to him. I had to make sure Edward saw me leave so that no one would blame me for the accident. He laughed. “People will blame you. You left as soon as she was kidnapped, so that’s on you.”I gave a little chuckle. “Look, the gala was a circus, and Eloise … well, let’s just say she’s broken right now.”“That woman has been a thorn in your side since the beginning, but I guess tonight we can put her e

    Eloise’s povI turned to him. “Selena is gone. She’s gone. Someone took her. She’s missing.”His eyes blazed with fire as he turned around with the guard and led me into the security room. We got in as the monitors glowed in the dim room. The guard turned on the main lights as the room blinded us for a second before we got used to it. He turned to the cameras, typed a few things, and rewound one of the tapes back as he pointed to the screen.There, we saw a masked woman. She was tall and dressed in black as she walked through the side exit. She came over to Selena and dragged her away as the girl screamed. I could see my baby’s legs kicking and yelling for me. My heart wrenched watching that video.The guard paused it as we saw the blurry image. It froze as in a nightmare. I turned around to Edward.“She’s gone. My baby’s gone.”Edward was the first one who moved. He started to bark orders into his phone, his voice sharp and commanding in a different way.“Look, lockdown every exit.

    Eloise’s povThat evening, the gala was already buzzing, and this was before the official start. I smiled as I looked at the lights that were glittering against the chandeliers, and the glasses clinked about as the waiters dropped them on each table. I could hear the faint hum of the violins coming from the stage as the band was trying to tune up their instruments.I moved between the tables. I would fix things here, little things here, send people around so that they would make sure everywhere was perfect. I looked at the napkin that was folded wrong as I folded it well myself. Everything had to be exactly how I planned it to be. I was the VP and the head chef. I needed everything to be how I wanted it to be.Selena was in the staff room with her coloring books. She was already dressed up, but I doubted she would want to be in the grown-up parties anyway. I had checked twice to make sure that she had enough snacks and juice, and Sandra was peeking in every now and then to make sure t

    Eloise’s povI was still at work, going through a couple of files, when somebody knocked on my door and came in. It was Sandra. She smiled at me.“I have something to give to you.”“Okay. What is it?” I asked as she dropped it on my desk.I stretched to pick it up and saw it was from Charlotte. I looked at Sandra, who shrugged and left the office. I opened it to read that it was an invitation to come to a fancy restaurant uptown.This was suspicious. Now Charlotte wanted to talk to me in a prim and proper place, not fighting with me. For a minute, I felt like maybe I should tear this letter up. But then it came to me that I would want to see what game she was playing.I got out of the office and drove to the venue of the card. When I got out there, I looked at it and noticed I had not been here before. With a shrug, I put the card in my pocket and walked in.The security guard asked for my card as I presented it to him before he let me in. Walking in, I found out she was already seate
