บททั้งหมดของ Reclaiming My Ex-Wife: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Molly’s POV…The next day, I went to meet Ruby at the café where she had asked to meet.When I walk into the café, I notice her sitting at the corner table. I take a deep breath and clutch my purse as I approach her, curious about what she wants to discuss with me.Ruby, as usual, flashes her fake smile when she lifts her head and looks in my direction."Molly, you have arrived. Please, take your seat." She motions to the chair across from her.I regard her skeptically as I sit down. Ruby didn't wear as much makeup as she had before. Her face is unusually white as if all of her blood has been drained from her body. But she appears to be in good health.It makes me suspect again if she is really suffering from cancer.I'm curious about what makeup she is wearing that has turned her face pale white."What do you want to have?" she asks."I don’t want anything. If you want, you can order."Ruby laughs slowly, pushing the menu towards me. "You should place the order today. Lance will be h

Molly’s POV…The Stevens couple always treats me very well, and Grandma adores me just like she adores Lance. When she requests me to spend the night here, I cannot turn her down.Lance's eyes show a hint of hesitation, but I ignore it. Maybe he is planning to go to Ruby. I don’t care anymore. I decided to stay here solely for Grandma's sake."I will stay here," I reassure her with a comforting smile. "Now, you should sleep. You have already exhausted yourself."Lance looks at me with wide eyes, as if he did not expect such a reaction from me.‘This is not for you, Lance. I will obey the elders of this family as long as I am in this marriage.’Grandma seems happy with my response. She, like an obedient child, closes her eyes to sleep.Lance left to attend to a phone call. But I stayed with her until she fell asleep.The housekeeper comes to call me for dinner. I follow him to the dining hall, where Lance and his parents await me.I give Mom and Dad a friendly smile as I take a seat ne

The next morning…Molly’s POV…I wake up with the feeling that something heavy is pressing down on me. I try to move but get obstructed by something hard, which makes me open my eyes. At this moment, I am speechless. My movements come to a sudden halt. However, my tummy is fluttering.‘Lance…’His arm is around my waist. He is sound asleep, his lips slightly parted.I can't take my eyes off him, and a few vague scenes from the night before flash through my mind. Heat creeps up her cheeks.I took the initiative to hug him and kiss him. I actually seduced him.My heart thumps loudly. I bite my lower lip. I want to hide somewhere... anywhere... where Lance won't be able to find me.‘Oh, my God! What have I done?’Is there a hole in this room through which I could crawl and never come out?Whether I find a hole or not, I will surely find a place to hide. I don’t want to face him... at least not today. I try to roll out of bed frantically, only to feel his grip around me tighten.My breath

I suck in the cold air, clasping my fingers. I am stunned at what I did. Shivers follow shivers down my spine. I am terrified, thinking he will take revenge on me.Squeezing my eyes, I press myself against the wall. I can't see his face, but I can imagine how enraged he will be. I am anticipating his retaliation.A few moments passed, and nothing happened as I expected. The silence is growing thicker, and my heart is trembling with fear. I'm afraid to open my eyes and look at him.After a while, I hear him mumble, "Sorry."I gasp again and open my eyes, only to see him walk out. My heart hurts even more. I slide down against the wall and hunch over my knees, tears streaming down my cheeks.Lance’s POV…I am angry and disappointed, not because Molly slapped me, but because of what I said. I can’t believe I said such humiliating words to my wife, my love. The resentment and jealousy completely clouded my thoughts, and I lost my rationality.I am ashamed of myself. I don’t know how to fa

Lance’s POV…I press Molly to my chest tightly, fury overcoming me. I have the impression that the walls are closing in on me. In my mind, I am growing bigger and bigger. If I don’t do anything right now, right at this moment to control my rage, I will explode and kill this man.My pulse is speeding up, and my breathing is becoming shallow.This cretin... He had the audacity to try to exploit Molly. I am not going to leave him tonight.I make Molly sit on a stool and pull the man up by his collar. I ball my fingers into a fist and drive them through his face, then into his stomach.Several people come forward to separate us. I am still angry."Let go of me," I yell. "He dares to touch my wife. I will break his hands." I am desperately trying to set myself free.Their grips around my arms, chest, and waist are growing tighter. They are pulling me back while I am trying to move forward. They are telling me something, and I don’t get a fucking word of what they are saying. My full focus
