Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-Husband's Love Comes After Divorce : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

“Dad… don’t leave me! Please… Dad!”My cries echoed through the emergency room that night, five years ago. My father’s body lay weak on the bed, tubes attached to his frail frame. His heart had stopped once, then beat again for a moment—only to give me false hope.I clutched his hand tightly, tears streaming down my face.“In this world… I only have you, Dad…” My voice was hoarse, choked by a reality I refused to accept.But the monitor went flat, the sound turning into a single unbroken line.“I’m sorry, we’ve done everything we could…” the doctor said with his head lowered.I screamed, my whole body trembling. My world collapsed.Beside me, a graceful woman in a black gown touched my shoulder. Mrs. Bagaskara. Her eyes glistened though her face remained composed. Her husband, Mr. Bagaskara, stood stiffly behind her.“Devia…” Her soft voice pierced my ears as she gripped my hand firmly.“This accident… was caused by the negligence of our family’s driver.” Her breath was heavy, her lip

“Devia, you will never win Argantara’s heart!”The voice pierced my ears the moment I opened the office door that afternoon. Revania stood before me with a triumphant smile. Her posture straight, chin lifted high, her eyes glittering with arrogance.“Even if you are his wife, don’t ever forget…” She stepped closer, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. “I was his first love. Not you.”A faint laugh came from beside her. A young woman—Revania’s assistant—covered her mouth mockingly.“How pitiful. The legal wife, yet never seen as a wife. What a shame, Mrs. Devia.”The words lashed at my pride like a whip. My chest rose and fell heavily, my breath thick with anger. I tried to keep my composure, but Revania pressed on, merciless.“Devia…” She stopped just an inch away, her smile dripping with malice. “You can parade yourself in front of others, but in front of Argan, you’re nothing but a shadow. I’m the one he truly desires.”My fists clenched, trembling. And when she shov

“Argantara, are you sleeping in a different room from Devia?”Madam Dirgantara’s sharp voice startled us. I was standing at the threshold of the guest room when she arrived, accompanied by an old woman—her trusted maid.I turned quickly, while Argantara, who had just stepped out of the men’s room, looked back at her with ease.“Of course not, Mother,” he replied calmly, though I knew very well we had slept apart. “I just wanted to check out this room.”With confident steps, Argantara walked right into my room without asking. I froze, a little panicked, but quickly forced a sweet smile for my mother-in-law.“Mother…” I said softly. “Argan was only joking. We’re fine.”Madam Dirgantara’s smile widened. “Good. You two must give the Bagaskara family a grandchild soon. Don’t make us wait any longer!”I choked, unable to respond, my heart pounding wildly.Argantara, on the other hand, nodded with a faint smile. “Of course, Mother. Devia and I will give you a grandchild very soon.”I whipped

“Argantara! We haven’t taken care of the divorce papers at the civil office yet!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the silent living room. My fists clenched, breaths ragged, eyes fixed sharply on my husband who was adjusting his work suit.Argantara froze mid-motion. His gaze darkened, piercing me with warning. “Devia, can you not talk about divorce in my mother’s house?” His voice was low, tense. “Do you know what will happen if she finds out we’re divorcing? I could be disowned!”I swallowed a bitter laugh, the bitterness pressing on my chest. “Did you forget? Weren’t you the one who divorced me first? So why are you hesitating now?”Argantara took a long breath, bowing his head briefly before looking at me with fiery eyes. “Devia, you—!” He nearly shouted, holding back anger that was clearly visible in his jaw. His fists were clenched, but a flicker of doubt lingered in his eyes.I stepped closer, staring at him without fear. “Argantara, isn’t this a good thing? If I agree to th

“Revania! Stop altering that report data right now!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the quiet office. My fists clenched as I glared at the computer screen, quickly being corrected by her assistant.Revania turned, a cold smile on her face. “Oh, Devia… you really aren’t afraid anymore, are you? Good. But don’t think I’ll stop just because you’re angry.”I stepped forward quickly, closing the distance between us to just a few paces. “I won’t let you destroy my team or the projects I’ve built myself. This is your last warning!”Her assistant, a young woman, gave a mocking laugh. “Hahaha, look at this! Mrs. Devia daring to scold Miss Revania. How funny.”I shot the assistant a cold glare. “You’re just a shadow of Revania. Don’t interfere in my business!”Revania smirked. “A shadow? Don’t get it wrong—I decide who holds power here. And you, Devia, are just learning how to walk in this battlefield.”I narrowed the distance, looking her straight in the eyes. “Then let’s see who can trul
