All Chapters of The Club Star Ex-Wife He Wants Back: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Mandy’s POV I stood frozen at the top of the stairs, heart racing as I watched Mary, my husband’s older brother’s pregnant fiancée, tumble down the steps, her screams echoing in my ears. It all happened in a blur—one moment, we were both heading downstairs to join the family party, and the next, Mary was rolling down the stairs, her body twisting with each horrifying bounce. I froze. My legs refused to move. A sickening thought clawed at me—what if they think I pushed her? Guests from the party had already started crowding around, drawn to the chaos, their eyes wide with shock. My stomach churned with panic. I couldn’t breathe. “Someone, call an ambulance!” one of the guests shouted, and it felt like the whole world was closing in around me. This was supposed to be a day of celebration. The house was filled with some of the wealthiest, most influential people in the city—celebrities, business tycoons, all gathered to mark the grand occasion. But now? The scene before me had tu

Mandy’s POV“What?” I asked in shock.“You’re pregnant, Mrs. Vanderbilt,” the doctor repeated.Panic set in as the doctor’s word sunk in.My heart was racing and my palms were sweating.I couldn’t believe I was pregnant.My thoughts got tangled in a mix of emotions.The divorce, Lucas’s disdain and now, a baby.How am I going to cope? I thought anxiously.I was only 18 years old and last week I was struggling about college admissions; I’m practically a child myself.The weight of responsibility almost crushed me. How will I pull through all of these? “Mrs. Vanderbilt, are you okay?” The doctor asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Yea…yeah, I am,” I stammered.There was a brief moment of silence before I spoke again.“Please can I ask a question, doc?” I said.“Of course Mrs Vanderbilt. Go ahead,” the doctor said.“Is the diagnosis correct? “Are there chances that I could have been misdiagnosed?” “Well, misdiagnosis occurs most of the time in this line of work,” the doctor answe

Mandy's POV I bit my lips, hesitant to reveal my struggles to Lucas.Finally, I decided to do it for the sake of the baby. This was the only way.“I've not received any living expenses like Grandma promised,” I said, feeling ashamed.He scoffed.“You called me after such a long time and that’s all you want to say? You’re such a parasite, always asking for money,” he said.His voice was cold.“But I need help, Lucas. Please,” I pleaded out of desperation.“I’ll send you some money but not right now,” he cut me off.“But I…….”“Also, don't bother me with trivial matters like this again. I have a company to run,” he said.Before I could reply, he ended the call. His words stung. Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes.I laughed bitterly, ruminating over my actions.Maybe I shouldn't have called him, I thought.Hugging my pregnant bump, silent sobs shook my body.Indeed, I was all alone in this world.**********************Eight months Later**********************I was coming out o

Mandy's POV As I stood outside the supermarket, my guilt-ridden heart fought between stealing the diapers and walking away. Considering how much I was in dire need of it, I decided to steal it.“Please Lord, forgive me” I muttered under my breath .Just as I was about to take a step and grab the diapers, I heard a voice behind me.“Hello beautiful lady.”I immediately turned around to see a tall, handsome man looking at me. My heart began to race.Maybe he's the owner of the diapers, I thought.I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…”“I just wanted to say you look really stunning.” He said.“O-okay. Thanks?” I looked at him confused. Why would he be complimenting me instead of getting angry that I was about to steal his property? I wondered.“I'm sorry for being so direct but I can't see a beauty like yours and ignore it,” he said,“There's a natural grace in the way you hold yourself, do you know that?”“Huh, thank you so much for the compliments. I'm flattered but I don’t want to date an

Beyond Recognition Mandy's POV I felt like I’d been punched in the gut.Lucas?Here?I couldn’t process the sudden rush of emotions.Before I knew it,my legs were moving,carrying me away from the unsettling reunion. I escaped to the dressing room, still wearing my formal dance attire. The silence felt suffocating,punctuated only by the sound of my own ragged breathing.As I changed, muffled voices drifted from the hallway. “I’m familiar with that deep tone, and that definitely belongs to Lucas.”"Who is that captivating young woman?" Lucas asked Jackson.Jackson chuckled. "You're in luck! She's our new club star. I had to beg my contact in New York to introduce me to her. It took a while before he agreed. It wasn't easy getting her because she's got a good reputation from her performances abroad," Jackson said.Lucas’s interest was palpable. "What makes her so special?"Jackson's enthusiasm grew. "Her talent, charisma...and beauty, of course! You'll need to keep an eye
