Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

ATHENAThe door opens, and I almost jump out of my skin from how startled I am after the news I just heard. It's been two hours since Mira left, and my mind has been unsettled. But I don't get to dwell much on it when Ariana rushes towards me with a worried expression. She searches me for any injuries while my father in law, Eli, stands behind her with an amused expression. “You really need to stop scaring me. Maybe just move in with me so I can take care of you.” She frowns once she's satisfied with what she sees. I bite my bottom lip as I hold back a laugh. Ariana King is a beautiful woman. And I may have forgotten what kind of relationship we had, but these past weeks, I've been able to experience so much love from her that it makes me want to cry. She always looks like a mummy bear, ready to jump on anyone who tries to hurt me. Noah mentioned that they suspect someone has been targeting me, and Alex is on it while Ariana has been on his back impatiently waiting for results,

ALEXTwo weeks felt like two fucking decades when I was away from her. Dad had me over see the new project and I didn't argue against it. I needed air, to recollect myself before I drowned in this woman.But Fuck me. It didn't do shit. If anything, it felt even worse. Every Night I had to fight the urge to call her, drop a text and that was the first time I've ever felt like doing such a thing. I've been with women. But it was only for sex. I fell in love with Leah, and I want to marry her but even she doesn't make my heart beat the way Athena does. It's chaotic, takes over your mind and brings you to your fucking knees. I've had tabs on her, calling Ryan every fucking second. Even he must notice I'm acting out of character. He told me she was in the hospital, but she didn't and that makes me mad. Why the hell is she keeping things from me? I was already on edge because of her trauma, but I had to leave. I needed a clear head but the moment I heard she was in the hospital, I wrapp

ALEX“You don't need to worry about it. I have my people working on it.” I say to Leah as she watches me. “But-”“Let's talk later.” I cut her off. Unable to hold a longer conversation. My mind is going wild, and honestly, anything that has to do with Athena seems to drive me insane .Pregnant. The word echoes in my head on a fucking loop. I wouldn't ask how because I know what we've been doing the Past weeks. I however didn't think of the outcome. “Medical Director” is written on the door as I push it open. Many may expect an old man sitting behind that desk but it isn't. He's a genius and even though he was born in old money, he still deserves the position. “Look who decided to stop by.” Ian teases and I ignore him, placing myself in the seat opposite him. The bastard is the best in the medical field and genuinely one of the few I actually respect. “You know why I'm here.” I get straight to the point, having no time for pleasantries. Ian Quinn watches me before pulling

ATHENAAlex: [ What are you doing?]I stare at the message while I stuff another spoon of ice cream in the mouth. I've been staying home while I think of what to do about my white coat ceremony when I receive a text from a man who has never sent me a message before. He's been there but physically speaking to me, never on the phone. Me: [Eating Ice cream]Alex: [Okay, we need to go somewhere?]I frown as I type in a response. Me: [Where? I'm eating ice cream.]I know that might sound ridiculous to him, but I feel like I'll die if I don't quench this thirst.No response. Ten minutes later, I still get no reply, which makes me shrug as I continue watching my anime series. The door opens, and Alex steps in. He looks incredibly hot.I mean, when does he ever look average. That blonde hair tussled from running his hands through it so much. His perfect suit with no line out of place. He walks over to me, and I freeze. Is he angry because of what I said? Now he's going to snap. Tears w

ATHENA Without warning, she rushes forward and wraps her arms around Alex in a tight hug. I stiffen. My arms cross over my chest, a strange, unwelcome heat crawling up my spine. Who the hell is she? If she was family I'd probably know because I've been around this family for over three years. Alex doesn’t hug her back. In fact, he just stands there, his body rigid, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. His expression is unreadable, his usual glare gracing her presence making a smile almost slip out from my lips. I'm still mad she's touching him though.The woman pulls back slightly, tilting her head at him. "Five years, Alex. Five damn years, and you're still too stiff to hug me back? Unbelievable." She shakes her head, letting out an amused scoff before stepping back. Alex exhales before pulling her off him but shockingly he doesn't look irritated. He finally turns to me, "Athena, this is my annoying cousin, Sloane." Cousin? Oh. His tone is dry, edged with somethi
