Ex-Husband Step Aside, I Don't Need You Anymore のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Albert didn't return home early that day. When Jennifer left the hotel earlier that day, she went straight to Emily's school and took her home. And since that moment, she hasn't felt the same. Albert hurt her physically, but the emotional wound was more painful. Emily already had dinner, and Jennifer was putting her to sleep when the little girl initiated a conversation Jennifer didn't want to have. “Mom,” Emily called. “Yes, my dear,” Jennifer responded with her hand stroking her daughter's back. “Did you slap yourself again?” The innocent girl asked. Jennifer's thoughts reeled to the reason she could have asked such a question. Perhaps, it was evident enough that she received another fresh slap from Albert. While she detested the fact that she had to tell lies to her little daughter, there was no other choice for her. “Why do you ask?” Jennifer asked, feigning ignorance. “Your face, Mom. It looks somewhat bigger and fresher than it did in the morning. And it does not look goo

Bella hated it when Lesnar only spoke about his work. Both of them had contrasting personalities. While Lesnar was a businessman who loved to work and explore ideas that could push his company higher, Bella was built differently. She preferred a soft life, only wanting luxury and material things. They were betrothed from childhood. Both families agreed that they will get married to strengthen their relationship. While Bella was happy and satisfied, Lesnar was still having a double mind about their future. He wasn't sure if he was actually going to spend the rest of his life with her.“Lesnar, you know I don't like it when you start sounding like this,” Bella said. “Right now, you are putting your personal life ahead of this relationship.” Lesnar shut his eyes for a while to calm himself. “I think you are mature enough to understand the situation at hand. I'm struggling to keep this company going. This is all I have, and I need to do anything to keep it alive. If it crumbles, how do

The doctor was passing, and Lesnar quickly called his attention. “Doctor,” he called and approached him. “It's been more than two hours already. Is she not awake yet?” “I'm heading to her room now,” the doctor replied. “Please, you can come with me.” Lesnar followed the doctor to the VIP room where Jennifer was transferred to. But she was not yet awake. “What's wrong, doctor? She's not awake,” Lesnar said. The doctor pulled his stethoscope and examined her. “She's totally fine. Like I said earlier, she needs a lot of rest. Don't worry. She will wake up eventually. We will take good care of her. There's nothing to be bothered about, please.” Lesnar checked the time. It was almost evening. He knew he had to go. There were other matters he needed to attend to. He grabbed some dollar bills from his pocket and gave them to the doctor. “Please, give this to her when she wakes up. I have to go now.” “Sorry. Who should I say was here for her?” Lesnar grinned. “That won't be necessa

Lesnar's home was an exquisite one with a real touch of wealth. He lived alone in his large estate. Stan drove through the tarmac and arrived at the gate of the main building. Lesnar could see Bella's car parked in front of the building. He always knew he wasn't going to get it easy from Bella. But the thing is, he wasn't ready for any of it. The gates opened and they passed. “Your fiance is here, Sir,” Stan said to him as he drove through. “I can see her car there. Just park and go.” Stan looked back to get certain. “You mean I should go.” “Yes, Stan," Lesnar affirmed. “I won't be going out again for today. You should be here very early tomorrow morning.” “Okay, Sir.” Lesnar stayed alone in the main building. His mansion stood out amongst every other building in his estate. Stan had a place in one of those other buildings. The same was applicable to other workers. The estate was heavily guarded. So, there was literally no need for anyone to be in his home to keep him safe. His

The next morning, Lesnar was in a hurry. Owing to Bella's visit, he could not go as early as he had planned to check on Jennifer. It was a couple of minutes past eight already in the morning. It was Saturday, and he had no serious commitments at the office. He had to use this opportunity to check on her. He knitted the laces of his white pair of sneakers that blended with his white t-shirt. Then, he grabbed his phone and hurried downstairs. Bella was live on her social media handle. On seeing Lesnar, she grinned and waved at him. “Okay, guys,” she said while being dramatic. “My baby is going out, and I have to attend to him. See you later. Bye.” Her obsession with the online space was a major issue for Lesnar. Well, what would one expect from a model? He had to compromise for peace to reign. “Sweetheart, where are you off to?” She asked as she got up and walked to him. “You haven't even had breakfast yet.”He thought of telling her the truth explicitly but changed his mind.
