All Chapters of Ex-Husband, Beg Me!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Mrs Chen stood at the far end of the dining hall, her calculating eyes peering at the couples eating in silence. She wore her usual blank look. Only the faint noise from cutlery filled the room. Clarissa kept her head down, slowly spooning the warm soup into her mouth. The room was quiet except for the soft clink of her spoon against the bowl. Lucas sat across from her, typing away on his phone, the contrast from the screen light up his face. Time passed, but the silence was still hanging between them. Clarissa didn’t look up. She seemed lost in her own world, focused on her food like it was the only thing that mattered. Lucas, on the other hand, who was still holding his wine glass, finally set his phone aside. He leaned back a little, resting one arm on the table. He glanced at her. His eyes stayed there for a moment longer than they should have. His brow pulled together, not too much, but enough to show something was on his mind. He somehow looked displeased.Clarissa didn’t

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Brandon hissed while scrolling through his phone. A look of disgust masked his face as he stared at the pictures online. His curly brown hair was ruffled by the wind that came through the window he was standing close to."I've been screaming your name nonstop,won't you come over to help??" Mrs Zara Brown screamed at his youngest child, Brandon Brown—Mia and Clarissa's younger brother.Brandon raised his gaze from his phone and a sly smirk formed at the side of his lips. "Mom, come take a look."Mrs Zara scoffed loudly. "Mia and Easton will be coming soon with Mrs Maddox, we need to set the table before they get here. But all you know how to do is scroll through your phone and—"Honk! Honk!!"Oh lord. I think they're here now." Mrs Zara skipped to the living room window and looked out. She sighed when she saw Easton come out of his Lamborghini, he opened the front seat door, and his mother, Mrs Maddox came out. Mia climbed out of the back seat door with a dull face, s

Enjoy!! ‘Don’t forget to vote and drop your comments.’ —— Clarissa was stunned by his outburst as if she had touched the wrong switch. Lucas dropped his cup of coffee on the table and left the study,leaving behind the surprised Clarissa. She wasn’t even sure what she did wrong but she could tell Asking about his childhood was a sensitive topic. Lucas pushed open the door to his room. The air inside was cold. The dim light In his room added to the serene feeling of the room. The walls were plan Grey, the room lacked everything called warmth. He didn't bother with the light. He walked straight to the bed and dropped himself on it. His back hit the mattress and a sigh escaped his lips. He stayed like that for a few more minutes, just gazing at the ceiling above him. The fan above didn't spin. The silence was loud. He didn't move for a long time. Then s

On a mountain place, also serving as a bungee jump spot. Lucas and some of his men stood by, other People laughed far off—the place was a little less crowded than the usual day because Lucas reserved this particular bungee spot. Some music played in the background while Jefferson's teeth clicked in anger. "Lucas—it's you,huh??" Jefferson Reed was blindfolded and his head was covered in plastic bags. His hands were tied behind a chair he was sitting on.He was wearing black pants and T-shirt and some gold necklaces around his neck. Indeed,he just got back from Taiwan but he was knocked out close to the Reed's mansion. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that the people who had just abducted him were working for the Reeds—Lucas Reed,to be precise. He's the only nigga who does stuff like this. Abduct people in daytime. He always had a way of getting back at others.Jefferson could only hear footsteps,chuckles,and moving of straps and irons. He wasn't even sure where he was at the m

Clarissa crouched in her mini garden, her hand gripping that small metal spade thing, digging around the base of the seedlings she just planted. she kept mumbling, louder each time like she had been wronged. "Do you think he's mean? like seriously? he just brushed off my dreams like it was nothing. And for what? jealousy?"She complained bitterly for the umpteenth time. She was facing her pumpkins like she was talking to them. Mes Chen sat nearby on one of the flat rocks by the edge of the garden, there was a towel on her lap and a water bottle half-open in her hand for Clarissa. She looked like she'd heard enough for one day. Clarissa won't stop complaining about Lucas's attitude towards her in the morning. "He's just being protective," Mrs Chen said flatly. She finished working inside and Clarissa had pulled her to the garden because she didn’t want to be alone in the garden while working on her new plants. The previous seedlings she planted had begun to grow well. Clarissa
