All Chapters of EX-HUSBAND’S LAST CHANCE AT LOVE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ISABELLA’S POVThe house was quiet, but I tried to note the way so I wouldn't get lost on my way back. The sky was filled with the stars alongside the bright moon. I dragged in some fresh air, hoping the night would speed by fast so we could leave. I didn't know how long had passed, but the air had gotten so chilly that it penetrated my skin, causing me to gnash my teeth. I clicked my phone to check the time and noticed it was dead. My charger was in the car, and the key was back in my mouth. Blowing air out, I stood up and headed back to the room.The whole place looked similar and confusing. Even though I tried to trace it, I feared I might open the wrong one. I heard a door creak open before I caught sight of the man with the glasses from before. He had a frown on his face, and his palms formed into fists. My heart raced slightly as I feared I had caught something, but he passed by me as though he didn't even see me, which was a relief. I stepped forward and noticed the door he ca

AUTHOR’S POVIsabella’s soul had been trapped in a dark, endless abyss, and she had no idea of how long that had stretched on. It was like she was alive and wasn’t at the same time. All it took was just a second for everything to change. A loud cough escaped her lips as she pulled her eyes apart, her body weak and in pain. There was something attached to her arm, and the whole room looked unfamiliar, as did the Blonde-haired, good-looking man standing before her.“Where am I?” she asked out of sheer curiosity because she could vividly remember being with her husband and then the confrontation with Elena and his mother. “Get me, Alaric, please.” She proceeded, wanting to believe this was one of the rooms in their house. The man, dressed in a white shirt and black pantsuit, made his way carefully towards her, his hands in his pocket and his eyes not leaving her. He was in disbelief that she would request Alcohol the moment she awoke. Regardless, he had millions of questions running thr

ISABELLA’S POVMy heart pounded slightly as the driver parked in front of our gate. I stretched the card in a jiffy and let him swipe it before stepping out of the car. It was taking all I had in me not to call out his name. The moment he returned the card, I was dashing forward. As I waited, I pressed the bell and tapped my feet against the hard floor, happiness swelling inside me. There was no response the first two times until I saw an unfamiliar guard pop his head out.That was weird.“Good afternoon, ma’am. Who do you ask of?” He questioned, and I felt my heart stop. My husband didnt tell him about me.“Alaric. I'm his wife. We are married.” I responded, forcing on a smile even when I wanted to lash out at him deep down. But it wasn't his fault, right? He was new.I watched as his eyes moved over me from head to toe, then again.“I’m afraid you are mistaken, ma. My boss isn't married yet, and I know his fiancee.”The world stopped rotating as cold sweat oozed out of me. A chill

ALARIC’S POVI popped the drug out of the white container and then gulped it down with some warm water. Days had passed since the accident, and although the Doctor had suggested that staying in a familiar environment would trigger something in my memory, nothing happened. Everything still seemed void and blank. Still, I could tell something was missing deep down. My routine had been almost the same lately. Sleep, eat, and read the news, all hoping that something would come up to put all the puzzles together.The drug tasted off today, but I shrugged it off as my body was getting used to it. My fiancee wasn't home yet. She had gone to see my mother. They seemed pretty close, and they had been a great help in telling me all that I needed to know about my past and my relationship with Elena. It was weird how we didn't have any pictures together except when we were younger. She had said I didn’t like taking pictures.I walked around the house one more time, tracing my fingers over everyt

ALARIC’S POVThe other night, somehow, he detected something in the water—not from the look but from the smell—and it made him wonder what type of person he used to be. Did he used to have a lot of enemies? Has he ever been poisoned?Deep down, he didn't feel bad that he didn't give in to her sexual urge because he saw her as a sister, which was weird. As he walked into his company, he took a deep breath. He had been away for too long and almost didn’t know it existed until Mr Henry, who claimed to be his assistant, called and said they had a project to handle. “Mr Alaric. The meeting starts in twenty minutes. Is there anything you would like me to do?” An average-height man walked over to him, a glass on the brink of his nose, making him look like a nerd.“Remind me of your name,” Alaric said, watching the man’s expression change.“Is this a joke, sir? It’s me, Henry.” He adjusted his glass again.“Oh! Of course, I know who you are. I was joking.” He lied, then chuckled dryly befo
