All Chapters of His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

It took my brain a second to process the meaning. “What are you saying?”She shrugged. “What you heard.”“Don't piss me off any further Nora. Tell me what the fuck you mean?” I took a step forward, eyes blazing with fury.That made her snort, but seem a little cautious. “Haven't you ever wondered why your parents died right after Dale's rise?”I didn't. I hadn't.Because I'd just known Dale a few months after. Emery wasn't even dating Sam yet. Nothing had been happening then.My mind swirled, body shaken slightly as I tried to think this all through.It wasn't making sense.Nora continued when she noticed my thoughtful look. “The project that led to their downfall was orchestrated by none other than your precious— no, my perfect Dale.”My body went cold instantly. It couldn't be.It just didn't make sense.That was when a thought hit. This was Nora after all.Her life was built on ensuring I wasn't happy. Why would I believe her when all she'd ever done since I knew her was lie.I huf

~ Chloe ~I'd spent the night at the lovememory, letting myself cry my heart out to the only people I ever felt comfortable crying to.The people who were taken from me because of Dale.What terrible choice of love did I choose? Why? Why would the world cruelly give me someone who as much as did such evil?When morning rose, I left the place.I didn't want to go home. Not yet.I wasn't ready to meet with Emery's pitiful looks while she patted me, silently letting me know she'd warned me about such happening.Or Cole's hidden exultance because he'd known. Yet I chose to not listen to either.Because of that, my feet led me straight to Tina's door.When I rang the bell, she opened immediately, eyes widening at whatever I must look like.“Oh my, Chloe, what happened?” She quickly made way. “Come in. Come in.”So I walked right into her place, taking a seat on the couch.“Goodness, do you want me to get you a glass of water? Or-Or something to eat?” She sounded as shocked as she looked. “

“Dale, what the—? What are you doing here?” I had to ask in a whispered tone as everyone had their attention on the scene.“Come. I'll explain on the way. Let's just head home.”I hesitated slightly, turning to Tina who avoided my gaze.That let me know she had a hand in this.With a slight head shake, I stood up after him, the both of us making our way out of the party to his car.He didn't say anything as he stirred out of the place. While driving, he kept glancing my way occasionally like I'd disappear if he didn't.But he made no move and said no word.Not till the car came to a halt in front of his place when I spoke, “how did you find out where I was?”He cleared his throat, head tilting in my direction. “Let's talk inside. Please.”“No Dale, I'm not interested in heading inside your house with you.” My tone was sharp.His sigh expressed hurt, but I wasn't going to allow myself be affected. “I figured that Tina hadn't messaged or called one bit so I was suspicious, and had some

~ Sam ~I sat beside Dale at his house's bar, a glass of wine in front of us both.“So what're you going to do now?” I asked, watching him take a sip.“Exactly as I said.” He looked more determined than I'd ever seen him.Wow, this guy was in love.“I know you're going to fight for your love. Just how are you going to do that?” “First,” another sip, “I'm cutting all ties with Nora and her business. Then I plan on letting her in on a taste of her medicine, by ruining every of the Clint's business in her name. Lastly, I'm going to put her in jail for putting drugs in my drink and framing me for—”“Woah Woah, stop there buddy.” My brows were drawn. “Listen, I know she's done terrible, but you know she's my sister. If she's in pain, I get affected.”“Yeah, but I'm still not letting her go after everything.”“I know,” I breathed out, “trust me, I know, but…” he had to understand from my point of view, “imagine if the roles were switched and I was saying I planned on doing all these to Tin

I stared at him, shocked, unsure how to even reply, and with a heart warmed. Not even fluttered. Just… melted.“Why?” I managed to ask, my voice low, barely above a whisper.“Because you are worth fighting for.” My breath hitched immediately. I could even feel a blush crawl up my cheeks that I had to avert my gaze before it became evident.“This isn't necessary, Dale,” I spoke against a racing heart, “it's not going to make me change my mind.”“I'm not doing it to make you change your mind. That's not my reason.” He moved to stand in front of me. “I want to make things right. I want you to know I'm serious about you. About all this. And to make up for the past.”“This won't bring them back.” I snapped, surprising myself by how sharp it came out.“Yes, but it'll still be worth it in the end.”I had to squeeze my eyes shut, hating how his words were getting to me so much.A part of me knew if I didn't change the topic soon, I might break.“How did you get here?” I asked, willing my che
