Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

(Dean)This was the day I was going to meet my kids….well, as a friend, not their dad, but it doesn't really matter, Bella has given me the chance to get to know them, that's enough, for now.I stand in front of my bedroom mirror, changing my outfit for the fifth time, in a bid to get the perfect outfit.Never in my entire life have I felt so many emotions at once. Ethan couldn't help but laugh at me when I kept asking him if I had chosen the right outfit. Ethan looks at me and shakes his head, a knowing smirk on his face. "You're freaking out, man. Need I remind you that you're meeting with your kids, you don't need perfection, they'd love you still," I let out a dragged breath. "I know. I just…. I want to look my best, I'll be spending quality time with them for the first time," I tell him like he doesn't know that yet."I hear ya bro, but I'm certain you don't need those," He points at the extra clothes I had brought out to try on. "Besides, I'm sure they'd be too distracted with

(Bella)This is it! The day that I've been eagerly waiting for.Even though I tell myself it's just a casual weekend party with my colleagues, the nerves and excitement I feel say otherwise.Perhaps it's just my inner self wanting to unwind.I consider a knee-length satin burgundy dress, and a neckline that's just the right kind of bold, but looking at myself in the mirror had me second-guessing if it wasn't too daring.But then, I wanted to unwind, have fun maybe, it's been a while, and a daring dress it's just what fits.Eventually I decided against it, settling for a sparkling mini metallic sequin dress with a spicy rhinestone slit, it looked so perfect, daring and accentuates my curves perfectly.I didn't even have to look at the mirror twice to know that this is the one.It reminded me so much of my days in club forte, and too daring was a language I was well accustomed with, but then it wasn't a job I particularly enjoyed doing, the circumstances at the time was my biggest drive.

(Bella)"You should be more careful," the black haired beauty winks at the bartender who looked like he never saw that coming.And then those gorgeous eyes landed on me and for a second I stilled, her mischievous grin is gone, replaced by a warm smile.And for some reason I couldn't stop a smile from creeping to my face as I hold her gaze and then she begins to walk up to me, her every step exudes confidence, drawing the attention of the people around.There's no denying it, she's elegant, so stunning, a badass in every word and the way she carries herself? Epic!There's something magnetic about her, something oddly familiar, I just can't wrap my head around why I feel drawn to a total stranger.And sure enough she appears before me, staring deep into my eyes and before I could will myself to say anything, she leans forward, pulling me into a big hug.Stunned, I blink. Not sure why I didn't feel the need to pull myself out of a stranger's embrace. Her hug brought silent comfort, warmt

(Bella)I can't seem to ignore the way Ivy looks at me, like she's found a lost treasure!I'm seated at the spacious balcony, adjoining her hotel room, taking in the stunning view of the city, the lights twinkle like stars and the distant hum of traffic creates a soothing ambience.Just like she had suggested, we left the club and took a cab here. And for some reason, my overly cautious self felt safe."Here," Ivy hands me a glass of wine with a smile, settling just across from me.I take a short sip and then I studied her. "You look— so much like mom," a soft smile appears."I do?" She raises her eyebrows, eagerly looking at me.I nod. "Absolutely, I'd show you her pictures later," I say and I see her eyes perk up.She looked at me with such warmth and intensity, it felt like a balm, soothing my mind. "I'd really love that," she replies, a bittersweet smile creeping up her face, I see relief and something else flash through her eyes, —- maybe pain.But then my thoughts spirals and I f

(Dean)Fury scratched it's way through my skin, seeping through every pore as I tried to digest what Arthur had just revealed over the ended phone call.His words still echoed in my head as I gripped my phone tighter. Ashley alongside my mother connived to set Bella up, how despicable."Three out of the men in the photos has confessed, turns out your girlfriend and your— mother paid them to have those pictures taken," Arthur strained through the phone and I could feel my blood run cold. "And the pills were very much planted by Ashley, isn't it?" I had asked."I'm afraid so," Arthur quipped back. "And Bella's ring, I'd have you know that your mother paid for it to be couriered to you, not Bella,"I gasp, finding it hard to breathe."Goddamn it!" Ethan cursed under his breath.Fury coiled within me, quickly turning into molten lava and threatening to erupt.God. How could my mother do this?I knew she was capable of many things but this?How could she intentionally ruin my life?And A
