All Chapters of THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

BEATRICE:My lips parted as I stared at Christina, then shook my head a couple of times. "You're not going to tell my brother, Chrstina even if he is your husband. You promised me."Everette and the rest of my siblings should not know about me and Grayson. They just could not know. What would Mom do if she found out I contacted them? Mom never treated anyone as a family member as long as you did something wrong in her eyes. Christina's expression softened. "Don't you think six years is already too long for punishing your siblings? Beatrice. Please. You have to tell them already."Punishing? Was that how it looked to her? I cut ties with them because I was punishing them? Why would I punish my beloved siblings when in fact my heart was calling for them? There was never a day that passed by without me thinking if they were fine or not. My heart was yearning for them. If only…"You’re wrong. I'm not punishing them. I am merely following the family traditions. I don't want them to be pu

BEATRICE:My body went cold, as I continued to imagine the worst things on who could be visiting me. What if Christina did not listen anymore to my pleas?"Mommy? The bell keeps ringing. Do you want me to open the door? Maybe it's Daddy, Mommy. I miss him already."I blinked a couple of times. Drake would be better than facing my younger brothers and sister. I was still not ready. I could not be ready at all. "Mommy? Are you okay?"Inhaling deeply while trying to control the fast beating of my heart, I said, "I am fine, Grayson.""Are you sure, Mommy? You seemed sick. Do you have a fever, Mommy?"I shook my head while biting my lips. "Don't mind, Mommy. Would you mind if you stay here while Mommy will check who could be the visitor?""If it's Dad, MOmmy, please inform him that we're going to play."I just hoped it was my ex-husband.Curtly nodding, I said, "I will." And I left his side and sauntered towards the doorway, hoping it was not any of my siblings.My heart was thumping wil

BEATRICE:Everette inhaled sharply and there I saw how his face darkened. “You never learned your lesson, Beatrice. How could you still be a fool and love your ex-husband? That man…you and my nephew don’t have any future with him!” he growled. “Stop loving him and move on.”Was I considering Drake to be my husband again? I did not know. But one thing was for sure. I wanted to annoy the hell out of him for barging into my house uninvited and for saying mean things towards me."He is a changed man," I said. "And whether I choose him or not, you don't have a say on that."I bit the inside of my cheeks. What was I doing again? Defending Drake? Really? As if he was already apry of my life again. Everette inhaled deeply and I could feel his disappointment mixed with frustration on his face."You're out of your mind. It's clear Josh is better than your ex-husband.""You don't know Drake."He cursed loudly that I was afraid that Grayson would be able to hear us."Stop defending him, for g

BEATRICE:Josh was dangerously close and even if I was staring back at him, he was not doing anything to lean backward. His eyes continued staring at my lips while shamelessly getting closer and closer. My hands were at my side, not having the strength to push him off. Maybe I want to know if he would really kiss me or not. Would he dare to? In front of this crowd? At the corner of my eyes, no one stopped and looked at us, all of them minding their own business.Yeah. No one was watching us. So, what's the harm of letting this man kiss me and see for myself if I was now ready to be with another man. Maybe Josh was the one who would change my views about marriage and men?Inhaling deeply, I closed my eyes and waited for him to kiss me.Whatever.How would I know if I won't allow him to kiss me? I was single for crying out loud and why would I imprison myself in the past? I waited for his lips to land on mine. I waited, but it already took a couple of seconds, but there was no kiss.

BEATRICE: I tried to tell myself that I don't owe Drake any explanations, so why did my heart skip a bit when he asked where I was too? Why did it become difficult to answer that question? My mouth opened, but no words would come out of it. Dang it. I looked like I was already outlining the things that I will see in front of my house when I returned. "Are you perhaps with someone else?" Drake pressed, not wanting to let go of the topic. “I hope you will be able to swim.” "Where is the teacher?" I asked, changing the topic. "She already went home when I arrived here. She said she had some kind of emergency in her house. But you did not answer my question, Beatrice." "Are you hungry now, Grayson?" I inquired, still don't have any plans of answering his questions. If I kept on evading it, I looked like I was guilty, right? "I am, MOmmy. Could Daddy come with us? I want to eat with him. What did you cook, Mommy?" "Something delicious. Vegetables. Your favorite." His eyes bulged
