All Chapters of BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Victor POVI can’t help giving in to amusement when I saw Pepper’s reaction after I reminded her about our past.I do not have any intention of mentioning it early on, but she was giving our children a hard time.Besides, she looked cute when her eyes narrowed into slits to glare at me.“Cat got your tongue?” I could not resist teasing her, and she fell right into my trap.She leaned close to pinch my arm, but I was ready.I grabbed her hands and trapped them in mine. Then, I leaned close to peck her on the lips.As if on cue, the triplets started complaining.“Here we go again.” They grumbled.They sounded so disgusted, but the smile on their faces won’t belie the fact that seeing their mom and me acting sweet toward each other makes them happy.I wanted my children to know at an early age that women should be treated with adoration and love, so when the time comes, the boys will treat their women the same, and Althea will expect no less from her future partner.I released Pepper and

Victor POVDonny Ferguson looked stunned.It gave me immense pleasure to see the reaction on his face. The knowledge that I was able to surprise him brought me satisfaction.He seemed so confident that I would refuse to accept his challenge, but now that I did, he sure did not know how to deal with it.I shook his hand and nodded at his wife.“When am I going to start?”Donny looked flustered at my question.Maybe he had not thought that far. He looked around us. It was as if he were seeking answers on the four walls of the VIP room where we were.Once we had settled the details of my comeback, we parted ways.Pepper was still awake when I got home. She was reading a book, which she put down when she saw me coming into our room.“How was your meeting?”She got up from the bed to greet me with a small peck on the lips. I responded with more enthusiasm. I pulled her body toward me to inhale her natural scent.I could not help thinking that this woman is my home.“Why the long sigh?”I

Victor POVPepper fell silent.I was waiting for her to say something. It looks to me as if she was in deep thought, mulling over my words.I know how important Samuel and Shan were to him, and I don’t want her to break their friendship because of work.Surely, there is always a way. So long as people keep meeting each other halfway.In every relationship, compromise is the key.I recount in my head the many instances where Pepper and I accommodate each other’s opinions, biases, and prejudices.It was not always easy to agree with each other, but there had to be a meeting point somewhere as long as the people involved were willing.Nothing in life is impossible. Only difficult.Even the toughest rock can crack when exposed to water. It will take time, but it will happen.I smiled when I saw her capitulating.I saw the facial expressions that flitted on her face. She was debating inwardly.“You know that it was not easy. I fired Samuel, but I never told him to leave New York.”“And wha

Samuel POVAfter I sent Donny and Pearl back to their hotel, I decided to drop by the Women’s Project to sort out my things.I went to my office with the intention of getting my important files.I was about to leave when I decided to drop by Pepper’s office to smooth out some details of my work. I was hoping we could discuss the candidates I had shortlisted to replace me and help speed up the transition process.I just did not expect to overhear the conversation between her and Shan.Early this morning, I was feeling down.I can’t shake the disappointment I felt after hearing the hesitation of Shan about moving in with me in California.I hated the fact that she was choosing to stay here rather than come with me. Of course, that meant that Shelly would be staying here, too.I don’t think I can stand that kind of set-up.Shan and Shelly are my family. They belong to me.We should be together, not miles apart.Last night, I kept wondering why Shan would refuse to come with me. Without

Samuel POVMy fiancée is crying.I was looking at her, and couldn't help the grin that crept to my face.I was happy.Not because I was seeing her bawling her eyes out. I even narrowed my eyes to confirm if that was snot I saw coming out of her nostrils.I took out my handkerchief and offered it to her.She snatched it from my hands and gave me back the key. With utter disregard for poise, she blew her nose.She gave me back the sodden handkerchief, and I stuffed it back into my pocket without taking my eyes away from her face.She looked lovely. Even with her cheeks and nose red, Shan always manages to take my breath away.I shook my head while I watched her eyes teem with water.I thought I would not be able to pull it through.Surprisingly, Shan did not suspect a thing.I have been thinking about it lately. Actually, it was the night we talked about my move back to California. How our conversation went that time bothered me.She was hesitating to go, and because I wanted her, I cam
