All Chapters of After Divorce, I Became The Ex-husband's True Love: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Meanwhile, back at the empty building, Regina pointed her finger towards the paper.“Sign it.”Her voice was sharp, commanding, her eyes narrowing as she studied Bellatrix, who's been silent for a solid minute now.She tried to decipher her composed expression that should have been ridden by panic, fear, better yet, dread, but came up short, but in the end, it didn’t matter to her, because once Bellatrix signed those papers and left Miami, her fate would be sealed.She and Mary would finally be free to erase both Bellatrix and that brat that popped out of nowhere and was lingering above her head like a ticking time bomb, from existence, as though they had never lived at all.The thought alone made Regina’s chest swell with dark satisfaction.At last, things would return to the way they were meant to be. Cillian would stand by her side, the Lancaster fortune would fall into her hands, and Mary—her dearest aunty&m

There was a fine line between endurance and being able to listen to shit from someone that was below you, someone that you could easily crush with the stomp of your foot and Regina's sanity had been playing along the edges of that line, using it like it was a jump rope.And the moment she heard those words from Bellatrix, shit finally snapped. She didn't stop to think. Mary's voice blurred into the back of her mind like unwanted noise as she lurched forward, grabbing Bellatrix by the throat.The latter was surprised, caught off guard by her sudden attack even though half her mind had been ready for something like this. But before she could think to react, her body was already falling to the floor with Regina on top of it.Her back connected with the cold, damp floor, knocking air out of her for a second. Her head spun, she was sure after that fall, she had sustained a mild concussion.But she barely had time to play doctor. Not when Regina, with her fingers closing around her throat,

Regina first met Cillian when she was ten years old.She had recently moved into the Lancaster estates at that time, settling into the new life of having a family, even if it wasn't complete. But even then, things were not easy.Bellatrix made it her everyday mission to remind her that she was an outsider, a product of an affair that tried to destroy her home. No matter how kind her mother was and how accepting their father was, Bellatrix's action made getting comfortable in the Lancaster Residence hard.Then, she met Cillian.That day, the Laurent family came over for a visit as usual and Bellatrix so happened to remind her of her place once again, except this time, more brutally.Melanie wasn't around to save her, so when Bellatrix dumped a bowl of punch over her head, coloring the first dress her father had gotten for her, vibrant red, in front of servants that watched, snickering under their breaths, she ran.She had no destination in mind and ended up in the greenhouse, finding s

Driving into the Lancaster Residence felt like returning home after a storm.Pulling the car to a stop in the driveway, Bellatrix turned to Charlie.“Now listen to me,” she started softly, leaning over and unbuckling his seatbelt. “You're grandfather isn't all that well. I told you once, remember?”Charlie nodded.“So, you have to be on your best behavior. Don't stress granddaddy or Aunty Elise?”“Aunty Elise?” Charlie perked up at the unfamiliar name. “Is she…grand mommy?”Bellatrix smiled softly and without hesitation, she nodded. “Mhm, she is. Now, come on, let's go see them.”Stepping out of the car, she quickly rounded to his side and carried him out, marching towards the house.Compared to the last time she saw it, the house had improved drastically. Without a doubt, Bellatrix threw this as the handiwork of care and love.“Daddy, Aunt Elise, I'm home!” She called out the moment she stepped foot into the grand foyer.Some of the maids present greeted her with a bow and scurried o

The Laurent Estate had always been a place of pride and envy. Lited up by the brightest lights, yet coldest atmosphere.It was a place Bellatrix had gotten used to. Yet, as she walked in towards, she couldn't help but notice how gloomy the atmosphere was.Even when the door closed behind her, the cold of the rain still stuck to her skin like second air.Daisy rushed at her almost immediately and when her eyes fell on the young maid, she could tell that her voice earlier on the phone did not do her expression justice.“Miss Bellatrix.” She looked like she was on the verge of crying, biting nervously on her lower lip and glossy eyes. “The young master hasn't come out ever since and Mr. Albert, he…he had a lot of blood on his hands.” She explained.Bellatrix states silently, listening to her words. After a second, she sighed and shook her head.If only she knew the person she was worrying about like this did not deserve her worry.She was too naive, too innocent for her own good and that
