All Chapters of Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CANDICE“You worry too much, Ethan,” I said into the phone as I stepped out of my apartment and locked the door. “I already told you, I’m fine. I just took a few days off because I wasn’t feeling well. I’m going back to work today. How’s Atlanta treating you?”While Ethan went on about how he was doing fine but missed New York, even though he had only been gone two days for a business meeting, my eyes dropped to the floor near my door.A mess of flowers, apology cards, and gift boxes were arranged neatly in a pile on the floor. I didn’t need to guess that they were from Julian.My jaw tightened as fresh anger rushed through me.“I’ll call you back when I get to the office.” I said quickly, cutting Ethan off and hanging up before he could respond.Once the call ended, I kicked the gifts out of the way, stomping on some of them. My heel crushed a bouquet of white roses. A ribbon tore under my foot, and I muttered curses under my breath.“Cheating bastard.”Did he really think I would b

ROMANTHE NEXT DAY-MORNING“Ugh… damn it.” I groaned, stretching on the bed as a sharp pain throbbed in my head. I dragged myself up slowly, my body heavy and sore. My feet hit the floor and I stumbled out of my room, heading down the hallway toward the kitchen, desperate to fix the hangover from last night’s drinking.“Isabella,” I called out when I ran into one of the housemaids by the stairs. One hand was rubbing my forehead, trying unsuccessfully to ease the pounding headache. “Can you make me some hangover soup? Something quick.”“Right away, sir.” She replied, hurrying off toward the kitchen.Since she was handling it, I didn’t bother going to the kitchen anymore. Instead, I went straight to the living room and dropped onto the couch, leaning back while the news played on the TV in front of me.A reporter stood by the riverside on the screen, a yellow police tape behind her. Officers were working behind her, zipping up a blurred-out body bag.“This morning, around 6:15 a.m., lo

SIENNA“You really thought we’d let you escape that easily?” Gregory snarled, letting out a cruel, mocking laugh as he kicked Sabrina hard in the stomach again. She groaned in pain, curling up slightly.“Let her go!” I screamed, tears streaming down my face as I struggled against Rafael’s grip. He still had my hair tightly clutched, pulling so hard it felt like my scalp would tear.“You dumb little witch!” Gregory spat, kicking Sabrina again. Then he bent down, grabbed a fistful of her hair, and started dragging her across the floor toward me. “I’m gonna teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!”A loud thud suddenly filled the air as Sabrina swung a heavy wooden plank and smacked it against Gregory’s leg. He cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, groaning and clutching his leg.Sabrina, shaking with rage, forced herself up. With a loud scream, she lifted the plank again and started hitting him over and over, her eyes wild with anger.“You bitch!” Rafael hissed from behind me, l

ROMAN“You, sir. You are her ex-husband, and the father of her daughter. That makes Miss Blake… the real Mrs. Montgomery.”Cross’s words echoed in my mind every passing second and minute that spanned into days as I searched endlessly and desperately for Sienna with the police and Ethan. As we searched for my real wife.Yet, there were still no signs of her. I hadn’t been able to sleep properly since. Everytime I shut my eyes, I saw Sienna’s face. Like she was pleading and asking for me to find her. Yet, three days and we still hadn’t seen any signs of her. The police had asked us to leave the search to them and so, we were forced to stay back and let them do their work while waiting impatiently for their call which turned out to be disappointing news every single time.I hadn’t even gone to check up on Sabrina in the hospital since the ambulance drove her away. I couldn’t bring myself to look her in the eyes yet. Because I was certain that I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back fro

SABRINA“Welcome home, mommy!” Riley, who was standing next to Julian by the ‘Welcome Back Home’ banner, ran to me as soon as she saw me at the doorway. Reaching me, she threw her small hands at me in a hug. I laughed softly as I crouched down to hug her too, ignoring the stinging pain from the wound by the side of my stomach.“I’ve missed you too much, baby.” I lifted my gaze, scanning around for Roman. A small smile appeared on my lips and my heart fluttered as I caught him standing a distance away, immobile and just staring at me. Even from this distance, I could see the sadness in his eyes even. I felt bad for him. He had feelings for Sienna, so it was only understandable that he would feel bad over her demise. But it didn’t bother me. I would let him mourn her however and for as long as he wanted. What mattered right now was that he was finally mine again. Mine alone. Mine forever. “Roman.” I whispered as I gently disentangled myself from Riley and moved in his direction. H
