All Chapters of Ex-husband Demands Remarriage: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

I faced Mom as she was strangely silent, and she looked down, not wanting to meet my eye.“What nonsense are you saying? What do you mean I’m your sister? Oh, you mean Valeria.” I palmed my forehead. “Don’t worry; in case you didn't know, yes, we very well know she revealed her identity,” I said as I was a bit confused. I didn't know if she meant she was my sister or that Valeria was.“Oh listen here, Aaliyah. Your father hired my mother to give her a son, but unfortunately when I came out as a girl, he rejected me.”“That’s Valeria. Mom, what is she saying?” I turned to Mom, as Valeria was the surrogate daughter. Mom didn't say anything. The great Madeline, the one who never took bullshit, was here standing silently. “Mom?”“Oh, she’s not going to say anything. See, if I talk, she’ll go to jail.”“What?”“Your father hired two, Valeria’s mother and mine. He chose Valeria and dumped me. All these years I've been deprived of his attention. I’ve grown up without him.”“Mama?” I called h

Clearing my throat, I almost spoke when he cut me off, accusing me of something that sounded absolutely ridiculous.“Rodrigo, what?”“I know you are behind it. Please, you can keep the business. But the house?”“What are you saying?”“Oh, you are going to deny that you are behind the Wilsons scandal? He’s your father, for God’s sake, and he is not well at the moment. How could you do this to him?”“Okay, I am going to hang up, and when you are ready to have a conversation, you can text me, and I’ll call you back.”“What?”“You called to yell, and I’m not your wife. I won’t deal with that.”“Alright, please don’t end the call. I just… I can’t believe how much you’ve changed.” I heard him sigh, and I shook my head, not believing that he still believed I’m the reason the Wilsons are homeless.“I’m going to say this again. I am not responsible for whatever is happening with the Wilsons.”“I don’t know. Fiona… she works for you, and she’s your friend.”“Oh no, correction, she worked for me

I had to literally bite my inner cheeks to snap out of it, and that's when I heard the other person calling me from the other end.“I know it's shocking, Ms Sterling, but we need you in for a proper checkup.”“Do you know what this almost cost me?”“I know, Ms Sterling, and the doctor apologised. He promised to in person as well.”“Okay.” I didn't want to argue. “I'll come in tomorrow.” Yep, I was going back to Atlanta. Now that I was pregnant, I wanted to do everything to make sure I was extra safe.“Good, I’ll pencil you in. Have a good evening.”“Yeah, you too.” And the call ended. I took a deep breath before proceeding to the elevator and this time pressed the floor I was headed to with no disturbance.Reaching there, I stepped out and walked straight to our room. Entering, I froze as I smelt something, and then looking down at what I stepped on, I realised what was going on.“Ms Sterling…” Carlos came into view, dressed like a chef. Slowly, I closed the door and picked my feet fr

V A L E R I AKnowing what an overthinker he was, I knew he already thought of Theo, possibly even accused me of sleeping with my ex-husband in his mind. Damn.I watched him as his chest moved up and down. He was trying so hard to calm himself down. He ran his hands through his hair, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them, and he looked calmer.“I am going back to Atlanta. I understand if you are not ready to leave yet.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“I’m taking a plane. I have an appointment there.”“Shit, Valentina, so you want to leave without us talking? Tell me, did you do it without me?”“I didn’t.”“Then how…? Wait, does this mean what I’m thinking it means?” His face suddenly lit up. So he thought I went ahead and got pregnant the medical way, like I’ve been saying.“I… I’m not sure.”“What?”“Theo…”“The fucking lawyer?!”“You don’t have to yell.”“Wait, why haven’t you told me all this time?”“I just found out, and no, he is not the father. I am no

Governor Ramona gave me time for the meeting today, where I have to meet the team, and I didn’t want to miss that, as it was the most important day. I had no idea how presidential campaigns are run. “Thank you,” I told the taxi man as I gave him a ten-dollar note and stepped out of the car, then headed to my apartment building. I still couldn’t believe Carlos didn’t insist on following me, but well, it worked for me. Maybe he was beginning to understand that I wasn’t sick but just pregnant. “Ms Sterling, or must I say… Ms Wilson?” What even made me think the lobby man would change in just a few days? Ignoring him, I walked to the elevator and straight to my penthouse. When it stopped, I stepped out, my hands flying to my belly as it reminded me I hadn’t eaten since last night. I couldn’t afford to have breakfast now, but I wasn't eating for myself so I made a mental note to ask my assistant when I got to the office to order me breakfast, as I was going to hold the meeting at the f
