Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-wife's Marriage Revenge : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

71 Jasmine's POVI've been told many heart-shattering things over the past few days. I've been held captive and immobile by my husband. Received slave-like treatment from his mistress and her friends. But none of that hurt the way Kyle's words hurt.Tears carved glistening trails down my face as I clutched my mouth to contain my sobs. Kyle's pull was hard and strong. It sent a painful current through my midriff but I didn't scream back then.I was afraid that he might take my crying as fake, and hurt me. Although I know his actions were led by anger and his protectiveness towards Lila, I swear on my dead child that I didn't do anything on purpose.I didn't add anything extra... Or to cause any kind of pain to anyone. I didn’t know Lila had a cinnamon allergy, let alone how so much of it made its way into the soup. The last time I tasted it, it was delicious and fine. Every spice was in balance.Aah, spasms ran through my belly. I felt like a thousand knives were stabbed in my stomach.

73Jasmine's POV Thanks so much God. If anything had happened to her then I would have never been able to forgive myself.My relief, nevertheless, was short lived as now I was supposed to make a difficult decision in my life. "Mari," I took her hand and squeezed it. "You all have been very nice to me. You, Jojo, and... Kyle." My voice cracked over his name. I forced my lips to smile between twinkling eyes. "I don't think I was ever welcomed this way by someone who was a stranger. I didn't feel like I was a stranger here! You kept me company like you always knew me. But..." A tear escaped my eyes and considering how Mari's hand was twitching in mine, I could bet that she interpreted what I was about to say. "Miss, sir won't appreciate it. I mean... Yeah he was very rude and angry but... You can't just leave." "You saw us yesterday?" Mari lowered her head as she apologetically nodded, "I heard him calling your name and couldn't stop myself from following after him. I... Saw him sh

 75 Jasmine's POV  I ate Kyle's food. I used his room. I wore clothes brought by him from his money for me. He went out of the way to make me feel home, which is something not even blood-related people will do for you these days.  But Kyle did it. For me.  So how can I leave without one last talk with him?  "Mari, can I get a pen and paper?"  Much to my dismay, Mari pulled out a medium-sized diary and a pen from under the pocket on her apron and waved it at me with a sad smile.  "I thought you'd never ask for this." She said as I took it from her.  "I thought I'll leave quietly. But that would be unfair to Kyle. He deserves to know that I'm not going because of him... And that... I'll miss him too." I sat down in a chair near a table that I used as a desk to write my fin

77It was late. Very late when Kyle pulled his car over outside the gate of his mansion. The dark sky overhead was starless and the air was surprisingly warm, making him sweat. While closing the door, he took a fleeting gaze at his house and licked his lips.He walked through the gate with a confusing feeling. His walk was lazy and slow. He was not feeling like going inside. He didn't want to face Jasmine yet.Although he was happy that Lila was fine now, his heart was still bitter towards Jasmine. He hadn't expected such a thing from her. He had... Started liking her. She was the only woman he was starting to respect and... Love— not in a romantic way! But in a way where he respected the strong motherly warmth she carried. Hers was the kind of warmth that he longed for as a child; and the way she mourned for her unborn baby, he would have killed to get that kind of care from his mother. Kyle came inside to find darkness welcoming him. There was pindrop silence. Every corner was eer

79"I'm sorry, sir. I was in the garden taking fresh air." She panted. Kyle assessed her. His scowl softened when he saw the same fright in her eyes. He was desperate to find out about Jasmine but he wasn't going to scare his staff with his dark demeanor. "Where is Jessica? I can't find her." He said in a lighter tone, so as not to scare her further. "Miss Jessica? Sir..." Mari's eyebrows creased as a dreadful look crossed her face. "Yes, Mari, where is she? She's not in my room nor is she in any of the guest rooms." Kyle looked down as he added further in a relatively small voice. "I heard doctor George came home to see her. Is she okay?" "Sir... Miss Jessica... She left!" Kyle's eyes shot up as his mouth hung open in daze. He stared at Mari as if she cracked a derogatory joke, his face blank and intimidating. "She left?" "Yes, sir. She was..." Mari squeezed her fingers as she gulped her saliva, trying not to sound scared. She kept her gaze on his shoes as she wasn't feeling c
