All Chapters of Mr. Ex Husband, Why're You Back After Divorce? : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter TenToday’s the day.Katherine had finally made up her mind to steal the document from Massimo’s room, the key to her freedom. After everything, she was done. Done with the mansion. Done with the games. Done with him.But now… she stood frozen before the man who had haunted her every waking thought.Massimo lounged on his massive bed like a king on a throne, exuding quiet, dangerous power. The same way he had two nights ago in the living room, when he had stopped her cold with nothing more than his voice, only to let her go when a call came in. She’d thought she was in the clear.Until Ma’am Rachael approached her earlier with a message.“He’s calling you.”And that’s how she found herself here in his room like a criminal awaiting judgment, her legs aching from twenty minutes of stillness, while he sat in silence typing away at his laptop. Occasionally, his gaze would flick to her, dark and unreadable, then back to the keys. No words. Just tension.Katherine’s mind raced. Mayb

Chapter TwelveThe kitchen was warm, filled with the aroma of spices and sizzling oil. Pots clattered, spoons scraped, and voices rose in cheerful chatter. The maids were gathered in small groups, exchanging gossip and laughter as they moved about preparing the evening meal.But Katherine wasn’t laughing.She stood by the far end of the room, back straight, hands hidden in the folds of her apron. Her left palm clenched tightly around a single pill, small, white, and dangerous. Her fingers trembled.She swallowed hard, folding her clammy palms.Her heart pounded so loud she was sure the others could hear it. She tried to calm herself, but her eyes kept flicking toward the large pot humming softly on the cooker. That was her target."Just one drop," she thought. "One drop, and everything changes."“Katherine?”The voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She turned sharply.Standing by the kitchen door was Mariam Rachael. Her eyes were narrowed, arms folded as she leaned against the frame

Chapter Fourteen Seven Years Later“Ethan, come help me out in the kitchen!” Katherine called out over her shoulder. “You said you wanted to learn how to make pancakes, remember? I’m starting now!”Her brows gently furrowed as she was met with silence.Then came his voice, floating down from upstairs. “Coming, Mom! Just finishing some important paperwork on my laptop. A vast mustn’t lag in his duties!”“It’s boss, sweetheart. Not vast,” she called back, chuckling under her breath.But the fondness in her eyes lingered.That was Ethan. Her seven-year-old son. A pint-sized genius who spoke like he’d swallowed a business dictionary and dressed in cardigans like a tiny professor.What he called paperwork was actually her own office assignments from the publishing company where she worked as a personal assistant. Tasks she barely had time to breathe through, he handled like second nature. It was like raising a child prodigy in a cardigan.He was her miracle child. Her heartbeat. Her seco

Chapter Sixteen Katherine stepped into the boardroom, her eyes scanning the tense room. Her heart immediately slammed against her chest realizing everyone was there.Every single staff member in the company, seated or standing in stiff silence, all facing the same direction, which was the door she’d just walked through. The only ones missing were Mr. Rogers, their boss, and Myles, the company’s accountant.Her eyes found Ariana immediately. But this time, her best friend didn’t smile or run into her arms like she usually did. Instead, Ariana stood still, arms crossed tightly across her chest, eyes filled with pity.Pity? A cold sweat broke out on Katherine’s skin. Ariana never pitied anyone. Not even when her own world was falling apart. She’d rather crack a joke or say something wild to lift your spirits than ever wear that expression.Something was wrong.“What the hell are you doing there, standing?” Grace, the secretary, barked, pushing up from her seat. “You bitch! This’s all y

Chapter Eighteen Get face masks.Get fake guns.Everything had been planned down to the last detail. For three days, Katherine and her three allies had orchestrated every move, each step building toward tonight.It was Arianna’s idea that cracked the code. Her idea was to infiltrate the hotel from the inside. And they’d found a female staff member working discreetly under the radar. Now, she was their ghost in the machine, their eyes and hands inside enemy territory.Massimo’s security had been formidable, but not impenetrable. A fake emergency would scatter the guards and an anonymous threat would be phoned. While chaos unfolded on the lower floors, the CCTV feeds would go dark, thanks to a timed blackout engineered by the insider.At exactly 7:00 PM, the woman was to slip the sedative into Massimo’s drink and. moments later, he would be unconscious.Tyke and Willow, masked and armed with fake guns that looked real enough to cause panic, were to go inside silently through the back
