Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-husband Demands Remarriage: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

The words resonated in my mind for a moment. What my guard was saying was that the restaurant was bombed. Obviously nobody had ever survived such a thing before, so Valeria was dead. The mother of my daughter was dead.“How did you let this happen? Oh, don't answer that. I know you're calling me from the dead now, so put her on the phone.”“Sir?”“What's the matter? I asked to make sure she's safe, so if the restaurant was bombed, that means you also died, right?”“I'm sorry, sir.”"Don't be sorry; just put her on the phone. Let me speak to her.”“I'm afraid it's not possible, sir.”“I don't like jokes, okay? I asked that you stay close to her all the time. That means if she died there, then you also died.”“I'm sorry. I wasn't with her, sir, but I had someone watching her. They are the ones that gave me the update.”“But I asked you to watch her.”“Apologies, sir. Oh, it's him. Let me pick up.” He quickly put me on hold, and I switched the phone to my left hand and started removing t

V A L E R I AI don’t know how long I was out, but the beeping of machines told me I was in a hospital. I could hear faint sounds of people talking and since I passed out with Mom and Aunt around I wondered who it was as Mom and Nona were not speaking.“I’ll go get the doctor.” Nona said as I opened my eyes while Mom rushed to me, looking all worried.“My baby.” She pulled a chair close and sat next to me.“Parker… is Parker okay?” I asked and struggled to sit up, Mom quickly noticed as she rushed to me and helped me up.“Parker is fine baby. Now don’t stress yourself, you need to relax.”“I want to talk to her.”“Baby–”“Where’s my phone?”“Honey are you sure because–”“I will only relax after speaking to my baby, okay?”“Alright. Alright. But just to hear her voice okay?” She reached the other side and I nodded as that’s all I needed. To hear that my baby was okay, that Pablo didn’t try anything.“Call Rodrigo.” I said as she looked at me with the phone in her hands.“Your baby dadd

Carlos was really here after he left and said he wasn’t coming back. After blocking me? Like?“You don’t look good,” he said as he reached me. Yes, for some weird reason I didn’t stop him from coming closer, only stopping him when his hand tried to touch my cheek. “What’s wrong?”“What’s wrong? Carlos, you blocked me.”“I know. I needed that time to think.”“You said it was over.”“That’s the only way I could think clearly.”“Okay, so now what? You thought I would wait for you? That you say it’s over and I pause my life waiting? There are men here, you know.”“But none are me.”“What?”“You know us. Same as there are women in Chicago, but none are you.” Okay, he had relaxed so much. What happened to all the accusations? Me cheating with Rodrigo? The British lawyer? Why did he suddenly look calm?“Okay, that’s insane. You definitely haven’t seen the news because—”“I don’t see a ring.”“What ring?”“The engagement, babe…” he chuckled. “I didn’t think you’d go as far as to fake an engag

Yes, I was panicking right now, but I also knew my daughter’s life was at risk, and what I did in this moment would save her life.“I’m on my way, Pablo. Let me just put on my clothes,” I said, really just slipping into comfortable slippers, as the ones I had on were a bit loose, and if anything, this was Pablo, and I had to be firm.“What’s going on?” Carlos asked, and I looked around, realising I had close to no time. I started dragging him to the bathroom. “Oh, I see what – Valentina?”“Please, I’ll tell you everything. Just stay here, okay? And don’t get out.”“I won’t hide like a–”“Please.” I shut the door in his face, then rushed out to the main door. “I don’t know what you want now,” I said, breathing before I opened it, and there he was, with his evil smirk. “Really? If you came to taunt me, I–”“Oh, sis–”“Gross.”“Hehe. Alright then, Valeria, I’m not here to taunt you today,” he said as he came in, walking to the couch and throwing himself there like he owned the place. “If

In the elevator, I quickly cleaned my tears. I didn’t realise I was crying. I guess seeing him and speaking to him reminded me so much of everything he made me go through.Downstairs, the lobby seemed to be filled with people, all looking for the lobby man.“I can’t believe this. This is so unprofessional of them.” Some were complaining. Well, they would be more mad if they heard their lobby man was more interested in gossip. Premium gossip.I walked out and headed to Carlos’s car as I saw it parked. Then, to my surprise, I found Aaliyah leaning on the window, speaking to him. I stopped for a second and breathed before walking to her.“Sis, did you and Dad speak?” She jumped as soon as I reached her and she noticed.“Please move.” She was standing in my way.“Yeah sure, of course, sis.” I’m telling you, Aaliyah had never played this nice. Something was fishy here. “Did you and Dad speak?” She asked again as I got in and fastened my seatbelt.“Oh yeah…” I reached for my phone and unloc
