All Chapters of Love me back, Ex-Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jessica walked down the stairs, dressed in nightwear. There was a smile plastered to her face as she walked down to where Brielle sat. “Oh my! Brielle!” She squealed and hastened her steps, stopping only when she was a few steps away from Brielle. “It’s so nice to see you. Ethan said you were away.” She said, calling his name casually to make it seem like they were close. Brielle didn’t care that Jessica was at the house. She already knew that she was his mistress. They must have been doing a lot more while she was married so, she couldn’t care less now that she was divorced. Jessica saw that Brielle was uninterested in speaking to her but refused to let it go. “Don’t worry about me being here. I was almost raped last night and had no where else to go. You know how kind Ethan is already. He couldn’t bear to see me spending the night alone so he let me stay and kept me company all night.” She added in a sickening voice, smiling innocently like she didn’t have the intention to make B

“Why didn’t you tell me you were married to Ethan Rayne?” Dr Graham asked looking between the woman and Brielle in surprise.“I didn’t know you were coming now. You should have called, Mom.” Brielle sighed, trying to keep a smile on her face.“Oh…I thought about it but didn’t want to distract you if you were busy.” Vivian said apologetically as she saw the look of disappointment on Brielle’s face.Her heart dropped in sadness. She had come here hoping to cheer Brielle up again but had annoyed her further.“I’ll call next time, my dear.” She promised and Brielle nodded, her hands clasped behind her as she stood, waiting for Vivian to finish her discussion with Dr Graham.“Mrs Rayne just told me that you are her daughter-in-law. Imagine the shock on my face.” He laughed.“I guess you didn’t want anyone to know about it then, seeing how you answer your father’s name.” Brielle nodded slowly.Wasn’t that obvious?“Well, one person knowing isn’t bad enough. He’ll be looking out for you on m

“I don’t care about your stupid house rules,” Brielle said, stabbing the steak on her plate.Ethan stopped eating and sighed, staring at her from the dining room. “Do you hate me that much?” His question fell on deaf ears, as expected, but he didn't give up.“You used to claim to love me—saying the those damn words constantly. Are you saying that those feelings suddenly disappeared after the divorce? No, Brielle. It doesn’t work like that.” His voice was low, husky, a foreign emotion in his eyes.“This only proves that you never truly loved me. You only said what you had to say to keep your place in this house.”His words cut through Brielle’s chest. She stared at him in disbelief, her heart twisting. After everything she had sacrificed, years of loyalty, patience, and forgiveness—he reduced it to convenience?It stung.She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it.There was a long silence between them until she finally said. “I’m done here.” She said coldly and stood.“I’ll sleep on

Brielle stepped out onto the hospital balcony, exhaling a long breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. Her heart still raced with excitement from the news and she knew she wanted to share with the people she loved.Sadly, there was just one person.With her phone in one hand, she dialed Ella, her fingers trembling slightly from all the emotions buzzing inside her. As soon as the call connected, she barely got a word in.“I just got promoted—” she started.“AHHHHHHH!” Ella’s scream rang so loud through the speaker that Brielle had to jerk her phone away from her ear.“Ella! You’ll deafen me!”“Oh my God, shut up, Brielle. Did you just say you got promoted? Like officially? A real hospital promotion?!” Her volume didn’t reduce, if anything, it got louder.“Yes,” Brielle laughed, her cheeks hurting from how wide she was smiling. “Dr. Laura just told me. I’m moving into a new office next week. I’ll be getting promoted to Junior Doctor.”Ella paused for a second and suddenly blurted ou

Jessica sat at her desk in Ethan’s office, typing swiftly as she sorted through his packed schedule for the next week. The screen was filled with meetings, contract reviews, site visits…it was exhausting just to look at. She had barely made it halfway through when her phone buzzed. When she checked it and saw that it was an unknown number, she frowned and ignored it. Seconds later, it buzzed again. Same number. She ignored it again. Another buzz. Her jaw twitched in annoyance as she picked it up. Whoever it was clearly wasn’t going to stop. She pressed the green button and brought it to her ear, already annoyed. “Hello?” There was a pause. Then, a smooth, confident voice came through. “Is this Jessica Owen?” Jessica blinked. The voice was… familiar. “Yes, it is. Who is this?” “This is Anita Rayne.” Jessica shot up in her seat as if someone had poured cold water on her. Her throat tightened. “Oh! Oh, Anita… Miss Rayne,” she corrected quickly, sitting up straighte
