All Chapters of His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~ Chloe ~“Mummy I want to go home.” Those were the words that broke down all my resistance and every bit of pride I held onto.My heart throbbed faster than ever, with body trembling slightly as I stared at Donald, tears streaming down my nephew's cheeks.That was a sight I couldn't bear.I could bear the guy gripping my arm so tightly, it might bleed. Or pulling me alongside him (because in one way or another, I just had a feeling they weren't going to harm me), but seeing Donald look shaky was an unbearable sight.And here stood a man I knew nothing of, holding him stronger than anyone should hold a two year old.All part of me erupted. Instincts taking over, that I had no idea when the words spilled out.Words I might end up regretting later, but at that moment, didn't bother thinking twice.Words that formed once my heartless ex-husband had taken the third step, “okay, you win. I'll join hands with your company. Just stop all this fucking rubbish and come help me out.”He didn't

Emery hadn't come home last night. But I wasn't worried; she wasn't a child after all, and she had gone to hang out with her highschool friends so I would assume she was too lost in the fun to want to get back home.Well, that equally meant, I was in charge of getting Donald to bed way past his bedtime and watch him start a tantrum the next morning when I woke him up for breakfast.As I couldn't risk what happened the previous day repeating itself, I got a nanny to take care of him, then was about to get the driver ready when Cole arrived.“Hey, morning.” I greeted. “What brings you here so early?”His shoulders lifted in a shrug. “There wasn't anything to do at home and I'm not working today, so I just thought of coming over, ‘cause, why not greet a friend.”I just smiled slightly, then walked up to the car, opening the door. “Alright then, drive me to the office. I've got tons of things to take care of.”“I'm not your driver, you know.” He said jokingly, with an eye roll that actual

My brows dipped as I practically glared at the words that spluttered out of his mouth.“What the heck is that supposed to mean?” I had to ask, my tone sharper than intended, because the words certainly didn't do my stomach flapping any good, and maybe if my words were sharp, they'd remind him (and mostly me) that we were nothing any longer.“Rita will take care of the company till I'm back.” He said to Sam, though his gaze wouldn't leave me.Sam, noticing what was going on, spoke, “There's really no need for you to stay. I can take care of everything, and with Chloe here, it'll—”“I'm staying.” His words sounded final, leaving zero room for argument, but heck believe me I was going to argue.“Don't you dare act weird.” I snapped. “Are you forgetting we have nothing together. You're my past. A past I don't want to have any fucking thing to deal with. Don't you dare wait for me, I'm not in need of your weirdness.”He looked shocked, but I stood, proud of myself.Then turned and stormed

~ Dale ~I shouldn't be feeling this amount of peace sitting opposite Chloe on the dining table, but it came on its own.My eyes found it hard to leave her, noting every single detail about her.The way her shoulders relaxed with each bite of the burger I'd ordered.How her eyes slowly shut and open, seeming to savor in its taste. Her fingers gripping the burger's wrapper with so much tenderness, it made me wonder how that'd feel on me.Thoughts I shouldn't be having kept flooding in, but I didn't bother stopping them.In fact, I liked it.I liked watching her eat. And more so, that I could forget the things happening around me and wonder in her sight.She suddenly raised her head, catching my eyes on her, which seemed to have come as a surprise because she paused mid chewing.I didn't look away though, or pretend like I hadn't been looking. Instead, I unashamedly held her gaze, asking the one question that'd been on my mind since Cole left the house that morning. “Did you do it?”“

Seeing her full figure step out clad in a strapless cream colored mid thigh length gown, with a furry baby pink stole around her neck and arm, made it hard not to roll my eyes.Especially as she pranced towards the car, her hips swaying with that action.She leaned closer to give the window a knock, obviously indicating I got down for whatever shit she had to say.Normally, I'd have asked the driver to zoom off, totally ignoring her mere existence, but with her car parked in front, that was limited.Such a bitch.Hesitantly, I pushed the door open, startling her by the suddenness and the fact the car hit her stomach with enough impact to make her stagger slightly.Smoothly, I emerged from it, my expression an unreadable one. “What you have to say had better make sense”She gripped her stomach like it hurt, but straightened. “My problem is you and nothing but you.” No change took over my expression as I patiently waited for her to continue and finish.Which she did, brows very scrunch
