All Chapters of Mr. Ex Husband, Why're You Back After Divorce? : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter One"No! I won’t do it, Dad. Never!" Katherine’s voice cut through the living room. "You will, Katherine! Look around you!" Her dad’s, Matthew said, voice heavy with defeat as he gestured at the decaying room filled with jagged cracks raced up the walls, water-stained patches marred the ceiling."Our house is a breath away from collapsing! My company is gone. Your sister. Your little sister is lying in a hospital bed, fading away! And you? You have a boyfriend who flaunts his wealth, who’s got the means to save us!""So you want me to become a con artist?" She snapped. "You want me to cheat him?""Just once, Katherine!" Matthew’s voice was almost a plea now. "Just enough to save us. Do you not see our situation? Or are you so blinded by your pride?""Pride?" she laughed bitterly. "You think I haven’t noticed the hunger gnawing at us? You think I don’t hear my sister’s faint, pained breaths in that cold hospital room? And I've been trying all my best, you know it! But… this? D

Chapter ThreeKatherine sat stiffly in the grand, opulent living room of the Hollingsworth estate, surrounded by a circle of piercing eyes. Uncle Daniel, Massimo’s uncle: his sister, Amy; Madam Elizabeth; Grandma Anastasia, Massimo’s Granny.Only James was noticeably absent.“So this’s the unfortunate girl whose family tried to destroy my nephew?” Uncle Daniel’s voice sliced through the thick silence.Katherine met his glare. His contempt was evident, practically burning into her since she'd entered. He hadn’t spoken until now, but his eyes had screamed accusations.“You’ll not speak ill of her at this table, Daniel.” Madam Elizabeth’s declared.Katherine’s fingers tightened against her dress, but she held her head high.“Well, Madam Elizabeth, you should never have let her marry my brother. He’ll die soon, and she’ll waltz off with most of his properties.” Amy said, venomously. A murmur of agreement swept around the table with whispered condemnations Katherine’s heart clenched on M

Chapter FiveKatherine's eyes fluttered open, greeted by a bright, sterile light overhead. Her gaze slowly focused, and she recognized the smiling face of Dr. Philly, one of the family doctors who had tended to Massimo during his coma."Ma'am Katherine, can you hear me?" His voice was gentle. "What... what happened?" She asked, trying to sit up."Easy now," Dr. Philly’s hand pressed lightly on her shoulder. "You fainted. But don’t worry. I’ve some news for you.""News?" A chill threaded through her veins. "What news?""Congratulations," he announced, his warm smile unwavering. "You’re two weeks pregnant."The words slammed into her. Pregnant?No. This couldn’t be happening.A child? Now?Her chest tightened as a whirlwind of thoughts crashed over her. How was she supposed to handle this? With how cold Massimo had been toward her since waking up, his hateful gaze, his cruel words... How was she supposed to bring a child into this chaos?Yes, she’d consented to this, she understood how

Chapter Seven “Kath, I told you all week to see a doctor, but you wouldn’t listen. You kept insisting you were fine,” Ma'am Racheal said gently, supporting Katherine as she bent over the sink, vomiting yet again.Katherine rinsed her mouth and slowly turned to face her. Her eyes were puffy and red, her face pale. She’d been throwing up for days, and her once-slim figure now fuller was now hidden beneath oversized clothing. Ma'am Racheal had noticed she hadn’t worn her maid’s uniform in days, but until now, she hadn’t asked why.“I’m fine, Ma’am Racheal. Really. I don’t need to go to the hospital,” Katherine said, avoiding the older woman’s penetrating gaze.This girl thinks she can fool me, Ma'am Racheal thought, narrowing her eyes as she studied Katherine's trembling hands and tired face.“Is there something you want to tell me, Kath?” she asked softly.Katherine swallowed hard. Her heart pounded. The truth sat on the edge of her lips, burning to be released. If she told Ma'am Rache

Chapter NineKatherine and Ma’am Rachael stood beside the cab that would take them back to the mansion. The very place she had spent months trying to escape. Today, she was finally being discharged, and though it should have felt like a relief, Katherine felt the weight of dread settle in her chest.She’d been turning Uncle Ryan’s offer over in her mind for three days now, and she'd finally made up her mind: she would take the deal. Anything to be free of the suffocating grip of the Hollingsworth household.But one question refused to leave her alone: who was the third person Ryan mentioned? The one who'd known about her pregnancy? That single mystery was like a splinter under her skin. Still, one thing held her back. Thelma. Her heart ached at the thought of leaving her behind.“Make sure you get plenty of rest, Ma’am Katherine,” the doctor’s voice cut through her thoughts.Katherine blinked, grounding herself. She cleared her throat and managed a small smile. “I will.”Ma’am Rachae
