All Chapters of Dear Ex-husband, I Don't Love You Anymore : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

NATHAN It was the loud knock on the door that woke him up. Not the loud alarm clock that had gone off a few minutes ago. The door opened to reveal a young man in a clean black suit. “Sir you're going to be late.” the young man said. He was Nathan's assistant and he knew better than waking Nathan up but the meeting was just too important to miss. Some weeks ago, some big foreign investors had reached out to Nathan and they were interested in investing in his company and also spreading his branch to many countries in Europe. He was skeptical at first, because the attention was sudden, but after he read the benefits, he ran head first into the deal. Today, they were going to close the deal, which would give them certain percentages over his company. He didn't care, every business had to take risks or they would never scale up. This deal was going to scale him up and wide. This was the kind of deal that his father had begged to have but never received. His father, who had always

NATHAN “What happened?” Camille's high pitched voice drove into the room before she even appeared at the door. She was breathing hard by the time she got to my bedside. Her siren eyes were teary. “Baby, what happened?” She said cupping my face and brushing my forehead.I felt the energy in the room shifting and I looked to see Ren giving us awkward glances. My assistant on the other hand was used to the display of affection between Camille and I. Was that tears in her eyes? I felt like nothing could hold my attention, nothing could keep me grounded and interested in this reality. “Nathan, can't you see me?… Why haven't you taken him to the hospital?!” She demanded, the loudness of her voice drew me back to the present moment and I found her staring at me, her eyes wide as saucers. “We wanted to take him but he wouldn't let us. He insisted that he was not going to the hospital.” my assistant explained “No one has told me what happened to him!”“He received some bad news.” Ren sa

I woke up to the sound of total silence. Not that the house wasn't often quiet, there was something that felt missing in the air. I kicked off the covers of my bed and changed my nightgown into something less revealing. I got out of the bedroom and headed straight for the kitchen. It was empty, and there were no signs of breakfast being prepared. I walked around the house, went to Jaylen's bedroom and even his library but I couldn't find him. He wasn't at home and I didn't have a clue where he was. I wondered if I should be worried, but Jaylen was an adult. While making breakfast, I made sure to check to see if he had left a note, he didn't leave anything. In the living room, I set my laptop on the dining table and turned on the TV. I turned the laptop on and my eyes flew to the Email icon. There was one new notification. My heart started beating faster as I checked the unread message “Oh my god, this can't be happening…”I stood up from the chair and leaned in, I read it aga

The floorboards screamed under my feet and I knew that Diana would be hearing me. But it was better she heard me, because it would tell her that even though she wouldn't let me in, I was going to be with her. I would never abandon her, never again. I could not stand still, I was walking back and forth, fighting the urge to haunt Nathan down and rip his limbs from his body. I knocked on the door, the urge to comfort Diana was winning and the fact that she wouldn't let me in was frustrating. “Diana, I just came back to check up on you,” I lied, I never left. There was just silence for a few seconds and I thought she wasn't going to reply but then I heard her say “I'm fine Jaylen, I just need some alone time. And I mean it please, I want to be alone.” She was obviously asking me to leave. “Okay then, I'll just be in my room if you need me.” I walked towards my room and slid down to the floor. It's been almost an hour since I've been sitting here and I would have continued to wai

DIANA I could not get the image of the dress off my mind. It sank its claws into my brain and wouldn't let go. I could not believe Nathan would be this evil, to remind me of Neah. It was like he was mocking her. It was raining and he sent me a dress, reminding me that she was not here any longer. She was not on this earth. I crawled out of bed in search of peace, I needed someone to talk to. Jaylen was outside my door for hours but now he was nowhere to be found. I checked his bedroom and every other room in the house. I decided that it would be better to start making dinner instead of waiting around. I was about to go to the kitchen when the door opened and Jaylen stepped in. He was wet, soaked, from head to toe. “Jaylen, where the hell did you go in this rain?” I realized too late that there was someone with him. A female. She had pin straight black hair and light blue eyes. “Watch your step,” she said to Jaylen without taking her eyes off me and she started leading him in
