Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Lucy’s POV“This can't be happening … this can't be happening. I must be having a nightmare.” I think to myself as I stare in horror at the sight before me, and tears of disbelief fill my eyes.That loud, twinkling, feminine laughter that I would recognize any day, any time, comes again, but for the first time in my life, it fills me with revulsion instead of joy.Different emotions, the most pressing of which are shock, disbelief, and confusion, all battle for their place on my face as I stare at my bestie, Amy, who is the person laughing.She has just entered the restaurant where I’d been waiting for over two hours for my husband, Austin, or soon-to-be-ex-husband, by the looks of things, to show up.Amy is arm in arm with Austin, and I just watched them kiss each other intimately on the lips, with tongue and all.You see, tonight is my first wedding anniversary. Austin and I made reservations at this restaurant to celebrate, but he stood me up without any explanation, and now, I can

Nathan’s POVThis night is fast turning out to be an interesting one, although I’m sure that the woman who is currently crying profusely and making a small scene in the restaurant doesn’t find it interesting in the least.It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for her, especially because her husband is obviously such an asshole.I eat my dinner slowly and continue to watch the drama unfold, and in the end, I’m shocked to see the woman’s husband leave with his mistress, instead of her.People are watching the woman, who has sunk into a chair and is crying, with judgemental eyes, and it’s clear that they have misjudged the situation.They clearly think that she’s the side piece, and the other woman who left with her husband is the wife, and with the way she acted so timidly, instead of putting her husband and his mistress in their place, it is no surprise that people think so.“Damn it. She’s completely different from what I expected. I didn’t expect her to be so weak.” I mutter to myself

Nathan’s POVI’m rounding off my work for the day when the call that changes everything comes in on my phone. It is my assistant who is calling.“Hello, Helen,” I say into the phone.“Boss, boss! I’ve got some really big news.” Helen exclaims into the phone. I can hear the excitement in her voice, and it rubs off on me instantly, but I try my best to keep calm.“Of course, what’s the news?” I ask.“She’s the one, boss. The lady is the one we’ve been looking for. The sample you sent matches the DNA we’re working with perfectly. Boss, this is huge! Our search is finally over.” Helen exclaims excitedly.“This is such wonderful news, Helen. You’ve just made my evening, and in fact, my entire month as well! Alright, I want you to find out where she is right now, and send me her location.” “Sure, boss. I’ll get on it immediately.” She replies, and then we end the call. I make quick work of rounding off my work in the office, and by the time I’m done, Helen has sent Lucy’s location. I wor

Austin’s POVI find the fact that Lucy is nervous because I told her she can't leave yet a bit amusing, and if I’m being honest, a little bit offensive.While I’m no saint, I’d like to think that I don’t in any way look like a kidnapper, serial killer, or hitman as she accused me of being either. However, I also have to admit that she’s right to be cautious.I wouldn’t have told her about her family just yet, but since she was becoming increasingly agitated, and the doctor emphasized that she needed rest, not more stress, I had to tell her to reassure her that I don’t have any evil plans for her.Watching her face light up with different emotions, ranging from disbelief to hope, and then pure joy, is very satisfying and rewarding for me after all the work I’ve done to find her.But then she utters some words that cause me to do a double-take.“Are you my brother? I have a brother?!"The question catches me off guard. How on earth can she think that I’m her brother? That’s preposterous

Lucy’s POVMy birth mother and I hug each other for what feels like an eternity, as we shed tears of joy. I don’t ever want to let go of her, and from how tightly she’s holding me, I can tell that the feeling is mutual.Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder, and so I pull away from my mother, at the same time that she pulls away from me. The hand belongs to my father, who is trying to comfort us both.He smiles warmly at me, and I return the smile and happily accept the hug he gives me. “I thought that it is a good idea to step in because left to your mother, she’ll stay here hugging you for a week at the very least.” He jokes, and my mother laughs.I’m glad he called her my mother, because I’ve been wondering if they’d want me to refer to them that way, and this answers my question. He is a very handsome man, and I have his eyes.“Oh, stop it, honey.” My mother says, giggling a little and swatting him playfully on the arm.My eyes well up with tears instantly again. It is very clea
