All Chapters of Ex-husband's Grave Mistake : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Melissa POV I was on operation "Stay Away from Antonio"I can't say I have been doing a good job but thanks to Doris, he's been out of my hair."Mummy, I have a question" Tonia interrupted, looking up from her assignment. Gerald had dropped her at the office with me because they were renovating his room. He didn't trust her safety with the workersApparently, he was moving back for a month. Luckily, he didn't believe whatever the Internet had to say and believed my story insteadI was grateful for that."If it's about Uncles picture and I going into a hotel, I promise it's not -""I know it's a picture from the day he called to say he was with you and the rain wouldn't let you guys come back" She said, not looking at me.A long sigh left my lips. That was a relief. I was really waiting for when she'd ask me about it because in as much as it was taken down, I know she saw it or heard about it."I'm sorry, Princess. I'm sorry you have to see these awful things" My hands found her free

Melissa's POV"She was just in a moment of shock and she'd be fine" A female voice said.I struggled to peel my eyes open and when I did, I moved them around taking in my environment.A strong smell of medicine hit my nostril almost making me gag. Then I remembered that I was here because of my daughter. I quickly got up but then a strong hand pushed me down to the bed."Baby, you need to calm down" I raised my eyebrow at Gerald. "Why...what's going on?" It was then I took notice of the female doctor. I also took notice of the fact that I was being hospitalized. "Why am I here?"My heart began to thrash harshly in my chest. They were both silent, just looking at me. The doctor felt like she was observing me."You don't remember?" She asked. I wanted to hiss at her and prolly yell at her but then Gerald spoke."Give us time. I'll talk to her" He smiled at the doctor. She nodded and left afterwards. My eyes then settled on him. "What's going on, Gerald? Where's Tonia?" My daughter's h

"Trying to take carnal knowledge of me?" Antonio teased, as he loosened his tie."You're not worth it" I shot, dragging my hand along the wall, searching for the switch.After I found it, I flicked it on but then gasped when I turned to meet Antonio's dark stares.I wasn't scared of him though. Just startled."This is not your house. It could only mean one thing" He placed his right hand on the wall, close to my face as he leaned in. "That I needed privacy?" I looked him dead in the eye as I spoke"Exactly. You're not scared of what might transpire..." He trailed his finger from the side of my thigh to my waist, settling it there."That my husband isn't around for a while doesn't mean I would go around cheating" I frowned at him. "So whatever you're thinking, stop it"He smirked, moving the hand from my waist to my neck, gripping it lightly. "Hmm? So then tell me why we're alone in a deserted building and not your house like you said" I swallowed hard, my mouth opened and closed bac

"They're dangerous. Very dangerous.""Are you even listening to me?" "Melissa!" I jumped up, almost throwing my phone away. I sighed, gripping the phone tightly."Yeah. I heard you" I answered firmly, shaking my head in an attempt to shake away what Claudia told me.She was the wife to a ruthless Mafia man? How did we even get there? How did she get married to such ruthless monster.I made research about him and he wasn't even hiding his identity in his hometown. Everyone knew him but then she wasn't exactly known."If he's making a deal with you..." Gerald continued, but I cut him off."When are you coming back?" I asked, trying to change the subject. I wanted to keep Claudia's identity to myself. I thought she'd appreciate thatMaybe if I was actively involved in her life, she wouldn't have gotten into such mess. So, I owed her this much."Melissa, you think you know what you're doing but if you get into business with the Volkovs' it's going to be 70/30 and you know who's going to

Antonio's PovI didn't know how to feel after finding out that Melissa wasn't lying about our child dying.I always thought she was trying to hide the fact that Tonia was my child but it seemed as though I got it all wrong."It is not your child. He was mine and mine alone" She growled, standing up and shoving past me."Melissa" I called after her, following her out. "Melissa please, let's talk about it"She stopped abruptly, spinning around like a flash, I almost missed the turn. "Talk about it? Oh now you want to listen?""I..." "Don't fucking talk to me. I don't have anything to fucking tell you" She screamed at me. I deserved it."I'm sorry" I said softly, ashamed.She scoffed in disbelief, marching down back to the tombstone. Just "Rodriguez" was written on it. My heart broke into two as I dug my nails into my palm to feel the pain I was feeling in my chest."I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Your father is sorry. YOUR FATHER IS SORRY!!!!" She screamed. "Antonio, look!" She pointed, laughin
