All Chapters of Chasing back my ex-wife: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Kiara’s POVI woke up, and for a second, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to figure things out.Then I heard voices and whispering outside.My brows pulled together.I pushed the blanket off and slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Sophia who was curled on me. I grabbed a robe and stepped out of the room.The voices grew clearer as I walked down the stairs.Why are my neighbors gathered this early?I frowned and moved toward the door. My hand hovered over the handle for a second. Something in my chest tightened.Then I opened the door and froze.Red paint was splashed across the door and wall like someone had drawn it with anger.My eyes scanned the mess slowly, until I made a meaning out of the painting. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID. PAY UP OR YOU’RE DONE.My breath caught.“What the hell.” I whispered.My heart started racing immediately. My fingers trembled as I stepped outside, my eyes darting around like I expected someone to still be there watching.“Kiara, are you oka

Kiara’s POVI was so tired. I dropped my phone on the table and pressed my fingers against my temples.“I can’t do this anymore,” I said quietly.Leo, who had been pacing around the room, stopped immediately and turned to me.“What do you mean?”I looked up at him, my eyes already burning.“I’m tired, Leo,” I repeated. “I just want everything to go back to normal. I want peace. I want to wake up without thinking someone is watching us or waiting to destroy us.”He didn’t say anything. He just watched me.“Let’s just give her the money,” I continued. “Let’s pay her and let her get off our backs.”Leo exhaled slowly, running his hand through his hair.“You think she’ll stop?”“I don’t know,” I admitted. “But at least we would have tried something. And if she comes back again…” I shrugged helplessly. “We’ll figure something else out. We can even leave the country if we have to. I don’t care anymore, I just want this to end.”Silence filled the room. Then he nodded slowly.“How are we goi

Kiara’s POV“Are you sure we should go back already?”My voice came out softer than I intended, almost swallowed by the quiet hum of the car engine. I kept my eyes on the gate ahead, fingers curled tightly around my bag resting on my lap.From the backseat, Sophia looked up from her tablet.“Back where?” she asked innocently.“To the house, baby,” I replied gently.“Oh.” She smiled brightly. “I missed my room.”I wish it was that easy for me.Leo didn’t answer my question immediately. He slowed the car near the gate, his eyes scanning the surroundings carefully like he expected danger to suddenly appear from nowhere.“It’s been handled,” he said finally, calm but firm. “There’s no reason to keep running, Kiara.”I let out a slow breath, not fully convinced.“You said that before,” I murmured.His jaw tightened slightly at my words, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he parked the car and turned slightly toward me.“This time is different.”There was something in his tone that made me want

Kiara's pov “Leo, I saw something today.”The words came out the moment I stepped into the living room. I didn’t even bother taking off my heels. My bag slipped from my shoulder onto the couch as I stood there, my phone still clutched tightly in my hand.Leo looked up immediately from where he was sitting, his brows pulling together at the tension in my voice.“What happened?” he asked, already getting to his feet.I walked toward him without another word and held out my phone.“Look at this.”He took it from me slowly, his eyes scanning my face first before dropping to the screen. I watched his expression closely as he swiped through the pictures.At first, nothing.Then I saw this look of recognition on his face. His jaw tightened slightly.“Where did you get this?” he asked, his tone lower now.“I took them,” I replied. “At lunch. They walked into the same restaurant I was at.”He looked up at me again.“You’re sure this is today?”“Yes.”Silence.I crossed my arms, my chest still

Leo's pov“Do you think I should call him?”The question slipped out before I could stop it.Kiara, who had been scrolling through her phone again, probably rechecking those pictures for the hundredth time, paused and looked up at me.“Call who?” she asked, though I could already tell she knew.“Mark,” I said.Her expression changed immediately to disapproval.“No,” she said, firmly.I frowned slightly.“No?”“No,” she repeated, lowering her phone to her lap. “That’s exactly what you shouldn’t do right now.”I leaned back against the couch, exhaling slowly as I ran a hand through my hair.“I don’t know, Kiara. Maybe Miriam is trying to use him against me,” I said. “Or maybe there’s some misunderstanding. I should at least hear from him directly.”She shook her head.“And what are you going to say?” she asked. “Hey Mark, I saw you having lunch with the woman who just blackmailed me. Care to explain?”I didn’t respond immediately because when she put it like that, It sounded really bad
