All Chapters of His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“You're not my husband.” I reminded like he might have somehow forgotten.“Yeah.” Gently, he dropped my hands. “But I once held that title, and I insist on applying this for you so be a good girl and don't argue.”A good girl? What the fuck?Just because I was tired and not interested in an unnecessary argument, I leaned back slightly, giving him a go ahead.But it certainly wasn't because of his words. When his finger touched my thigh, I immediately knew letting him apply the ointment was a bad idea, because the feeling that spread through me was alarming.There was so much gentleness in his touch, I couldn't help but remember how gentle he'd been when we had our first sex (even with no love being involved).That thought alone caused a tingle in my clit. It took much effort to not clamp my thigh shut, because with each brush of his fingers against the cut (one my body didn't bother registering the pain), my internals did a wild turn.My head leaned back on its own and I had to clos

Driving Dale to my place hadn't been hard. Same with taking him to the spare room (a job done by the workers).Once he was laid in bed, and they left with a bow, I couldn't help my furrowed brows.This was literally the second time I will be handling a drunk Dale, in less than a month.What on earth happened to avoiding him at all cost?Annoyed at myself, I was about to turn when a muttered plea from Dale stopped me, “please. Please, save her.”The words caused a furrow of my brows, especially with how his still unconscious self acted.He looked pressed to the bed, hands gripping the sheets so tight, I feared he might break a bone.“Sh-She needs you to save her.” He muttered again, eyes squeezed very shut, and although the AC was very much on, a sweat broke at his forehead.Once again, panic set in as the realization hit.He was having a trauma memory, or maybe a panic attack.Either way, I didn't wait any second more before heading to take the space beside him on the bed.My small ha

~ Sam Clint ~I was taking a bite of my burger in hand when a very worried Nora rushed to me, looking undoubtedly nice in her engagement dress.“Where's Dale?” She asked, not bothering to keep her voice low even though we were in the hall, the guests gathered everywhere that could very much get in on our conversation.“Why should I know that?” My tone was dry, expressing the disinterest in me on everything going on.Apparently, Dale was nowhere to be seen. And this was one hour past the settled time for the engagement.Amber rushed over, my parents following behind, each looking like they could punch a wall if it were within arms reach.“Where the fuck is Dale?” Mom asked, while Amber ran a hand through her hair.“Someone find me my Dale! I want to meet Dale! I want to see Dale! Now!” Nora began, wailing like a child and totally embarrassing not only herself, but everyone else.Mom didn't seem to think that, as she rushed to wrap her in a hug.“Oh baby, don't hurt yourself. Everything

~ Dale ~It was exactly three days after my engagement when Rita let me know there was a meeting being held by Chloe, involving all her partnering company CEOs.She had let me know it wasn't anything compulsory and I could refuse it if I wanted to.A part of me knew the smart thing to do was refuse it. Especially after my engagement.But the other part— the dumb part— decided to choose otherwise, and instead offered a curt nod to my secretary, letting her know I was in with the idea.Which I shouldn't be.Either way, here I was, three days later, at the back seat of my car, on my way to her company.This was obviously a dumb idea, but yeah, I was still going to do it.Rita was beside me, doing whatever work she knew to do.Ten minutes later, the car came to a halt so we got down.Smoothly, my legs strutted in with Rita beside me.As expected, my presence commanded attention.Eyes glanced my way occasionally, before they bowed.Some had theirs in awe, as I headed to the receptionist wh

~ Chloe ~I had to bite my lower lip to prevent the cuss word about to erupt, as I strode out of the meeting, Kanyin beside me.That didn't at all go as planned.Not at all.It was supposed to be my way of reminding him of my position and how many great ideas I could come up with that would let him know this wasn't that dumb Chloe he knew three years ago.Of course, I'd succeeded in that part.But the avoiding him own…That, I did not— at all— succeed in, because here I was, probably going to be in another country with him, both of us foreseeing a project.What the heck was wrong with me?I'd have refused it when he'd offered, but just the thought of him figuring out I was obviously trying to avoid him, pissed me off to the bones.I couldn't at all imagine that happening.And so I'd done the dumbest thing… I'd agreed to travelling all the way to another continent.Far away from everyone else.And to a foreign land, where I will be alone with him.*“What the heck?!” Emery's eyes widen
