All Chapters of BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Pepper POV"I wanted to date you," Victor admitted when his laughter died down.​A frown creased my forehead when I heard this.​"At this hour?" I asked in disbelief after looking at my watch. It was past midnight. Almost two in the morning.​I should be tired from the event. Then, I had to rush here. Oddly enough, I didn't.​Victor looked tired, but there seemed to be excitement in the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled at me.​"I don't want to go home yet. I want to spend alone time with you." He admitted.​Truthfully, I understand how he felt because I felt the same way.​"The hotel is still open. We can stay for an hour or two. We don't get to have time to ourselves. We have been busy with work, and when we are at home, the kids are always with us."​My eyes squinted sharply at him.​"Are you complaining? Your children endured four years of their lives without a father. If they tend to hog your attention, that is because they missed having a father. They made do

Pepper POVVictor was asleep, but I couldn’t catch a wink, even if I wanted to.“You need to rest, too, Ms. Ferguson.”“Pepper. You can call me Pepper. Ms. Ferguson is too formal.” I told Matthew, Victor’s assistant.“You need to rest, Pepper.” Matthew reiterated before gesturing his hand toward the other bed next to the one Victor was occupying.He made special arrangements with the hospital when I insisted that I was not going to leave Victor while he was out.“Mr. The gunner would want me to ensure that you are taken care of.”I nodded, but did not make a move to leave Victor’s side.My phone rings.I was surprised to note that I had several missed calls. I must be so worried about Victor that I failed to hear the ring.“Pepper, thank God you answered my call.” A worried Shan said.“Where are you? Samuel and I saw the news. Are you alright? The report said that you are the target, not Victor.”I sighed and collected myself.I leaned back on my chair. My eyes never leave Victor’s fa

Shan POVI can feel my surrender in every step Samuel makes. My body hummed gently in quiet anticipation.He was holding me gently while I wrapped my arms around his neck, and my legs were circling his waist. Our position felt awkward, but right at the same time.Our chests heaved as if in rhythm. My inhale to his exhale, and vice versa.In order to escape the conflicting emotions it evoked in me, I buried my face in Samuel’s shoulder.I heard him grunt.“Am I heavy?” I asked consciously. My voice was muffled by his shoulder blade.He chuckled. A deep rumble that sounded more like a snort.There was so much self-derision in the sound. It was as if he were mocking himself.“No. You are not.”I sighed when his hold tightened around me, allowing me to feel his warmth.“Then, what?”I dared to shift my head to turn inward, allowing me a full view of his chiseled jaw. But it was a wrong move, I realized belatedly, because it made me too aware of him as a man.The view also allowed me to se

Shan POVI did not know how long Samuel had been gone before I roused myself from a seeming daze and walked to the bathroom to prepare for bed.Though I am suffering from se*ual frustration, my chest welled with pride for my man.Samuel is proving himself not only to me, but to his daughter.Every time I think about the words he said earlier, an electric thrill shoots through my spine to finally settle my stomach.I love him.I am now confident to say it out loud. It dimmed for a while due to a lack of reciprocation, but now that Samuel has confessed to his growing feelings, I am excited to see what the future holds for me, Samuel, and our daughter.I giggled and rolled in my bed when I thought about his promise.What surprise would await me tomorrow?That was the last thing on my mind until sleep claimed me.“Should we wake Auntie Shannie? She looks tired. See? Her mouth hangs open?” From my sleep-foggy brain, I heard little voices and giggles.“But Daddy said we have to wake her up

Pepper POVVictor grunted in his sleep, and I was already leaning toward him, wanting to know what was wrong or if it hurt.The anesthesia must have worn off, and he was now feeling the pain.“Are you alright?” I asked, but the only thing that greeted me was silence.Victor was still asleep.My eyes were trained on him. I don’t want to shift my gaze elsewhere, even when the doctor assured me that he would be fine.“He needed to rest and recuperate.” I was advised.I looked at the expanse of his suite and sighed.I miss the triplets.Though Shan already updated me about them, it was not enough. I still want to see them and be comforted by the sight of them.But I could not call the house and check on them.I looked at the time.Calling them at this hour would disrupt their sleep.Besides, I don’t want them to know what happened to their father.They might worry. They only had Victor for a short while. I don’t want them to think that.. I shook my head, not wanting to think the unthinka
