Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN’T DESTROY : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Elysia worked like a machine in the kitchen, sautéing, simmering, frying and cooking different dishes at once, if there was one thing she was good at, it was making magic with dishes and that night she had purposefully gone all out to curate magic for her husband. "Set the table, we have less than half an hour." She glanced at the digital clock in the kitchen as she worked and gave instructions to those that assisted her.She had an apron over her dress and a chef's cap hid her soft brown hair, her pair of mittens hung on the oven's door, she had long taken out the fish she had put in it and didn't have need for it anymore.Carefully, she sprinkled the already cut pepper and onions in the pot and left it to steam for a while before adding her vegetable and stirring.The island in the middle of the space provided her with a kind of feeling that often made her feel like she was in a cooking show as she moved with skill beating the hands of the clock."Done," she exhaled excited gi

They said joy came in the morning and the weeping ended at night, they were right. The morning brought peace to Elysia as she found herself cocooned in the embrace of her lover, his chocolate smell calming her nerves but not for long.Her joy was short lived as she remembered the events of his previous night, she tried to pull away but his hold around her was firm."Stay," he mumbled in his sleep but only if those words held a different meaning then she would have stayed. She couldn't let herself get lost in his gentle side since she knew he was no longer hers to keep.Maybe he was never; just a borrowed property."No," she forced his arm from around her and he rolled onto his back giving her space to climb out of the bed.'What's with the attitude,' Orion found himself a little irritated by the way she had refused to stay a little longer with him on bed. He watched her retreat to the bathroom without saying a word before glancing at the clock on the bedside stand.It was barely past

Elysia went about her day's routine, shopping for groceries and reading books, she always enjoyed going out for the grocery shopping with the maids so she often did.Also, the doctor had told her the importance of exercise while not stressing herself at all.A lot was about to change, she had not even gone through the details of her assets to know if she was going to keep the house or not.She wasn't certain which she wanted either. The day was long and lonely and even if she stayed that way every other day, the image of her signature on the documents kept her conscious of the fact that it was real. She was no longer married to Orion.She was no longer Mrs Steelhart."Should I clear the plates Ma'am?" "Hmm," she nodded."You have barely eaten today." The maid was concerned, Elysia knew that she had to eat healthy for the sake of her baby but none of the food appealed to her appetite."I'll have a bowl of mushroom soup," she requested knowing she had to eat for two people.She sat i

Elysia sat idly for a while just staring. "Elysia!" She didn't respond, didn't hear her name.“Go home to him,” Nana jolted her out of her thoughts again and Elysia nodded. “Tell him I wished him a happy birthday and shower him with love too.” “Okay, Nana,” with a warm embrace, she made her way out of the house after bidding her goodbye. She did not want to show her grandmother that she was hurting, that she was willing to show him love but it was one sided. How could she even tell her that he cared, but there was no sign of love in his eyes, that he was the perfect definition of caring without loving? Sigh. As she walked into the house, she came to an abrupt stop, and her eyes widened as she saw the familiar figure sitting on a couch with a bottle of alcohol in his hand; he looked wasted. When did Orion start drinking?"Where...where have you been?" His speech was slurred.“What is wrong with you?” Elysia demanded as she forcefully took the bottle out of his hands, but swif

Chapter 9The air in the hospital was a little bit cool, biting through the thin fabric of Elysia’s chiffon top or it was her helplessness that made her cold.Plain white walls, monochrome colored furniture and people everywhere, someone was crying in the arms of another. Someone paced the lobby, the smell of antibiotics filled the air as well, Elysia truly felt sick in her stomach suddenly. ”Good evening, sir, good evening, ma'am,” Upon arrival at the hospital, they came across a nurse who welcomed them warmly. Her neatly ironed uniformed and toothy smile told a tale of her loving her job.“Please what are you here for?” In the most polite way ever, she asked. Elysia did not stop moving, and that prompted the nurse to follow her from behind, closely. She noticed Orion's presence and she turned back to him. "I think she's unwell but she's refusing to say anything about it. Can you help me find out what's wrong with her?" he paused in his tracks. "Sure and you are?" "Orion..." he
