บททั้งหมดของ I Need You Ex-wife! : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

BENITA ~ I was about to lock the door of my apartment when I felt my phone vibrating inside my handbag. My mind spirals into many possibilities of who it could be. I had just closed from work, so there's no way it would be from my boss or be a work-related issue. I dipped my hand into the handbag and took out the phone only to discover it was Brandon. Although his number was not saved in my phone, I was able to detect it was him because that was the same number that called me previously requesting I reveal Victoria's location to him. With a furrowed gaze, I stared at the screen, contemplating whether to accept the call or decline it. I stared at the screen until the call ended. Just when I was about to fling the phone into my bag and continue with where I was going, the call came again. This time I quickly accepted the call. My intention was to yell at him and then end the call, but his voice came quickly. "Benita, please, I need your help." His voice was calm and laced with

VICTORIA ~By the time we got to Benita's house, it was already dark."What exactly happened? Why did it take you so long?" Benita unleashed the long-acquired question she had been wanting to ask."Please get me something to eat first; we'll talk about that later," I replied, slumping on the couch in the sitting room."Since today I haven't eaten, from one problem to another." I huffed a tired sigh, my eyes closing as if I were dozing off, but Benita leaned in and intervened."Please don't sleep," she said. "I will get you something shortly." She brushed my face with her palms, wiping the drowsiness off my face.She hurried into the kitchen, and within seconds, she was already out, carrying a bowl of rice.The sight alone made me almost sith, but I managed to conceal my feelings, knowing fully well that Benita would feel somehow.She might think the food is not appetizing, not knowing that I had completely stopped eating rice for the moment due to my health.I could not outrightly tel

VICTORIA ~The moment those words left his mouth, my stomach churned with disgust. It took every ounce of self-control not to throw up right there."Did I ever tell you I needed your apology, Brandon?"Did he seriously think Benita and I had come all the way here with my son just to tell him I'd forgiven him and wanted him back?How ridiculous."What did you come here for then?" he asked, locking his eyes with mine.I opened my mouth to answer, but he cut me off before I could say a word."How long are you going to keep pretending, Victoria?" His lips curled into a smug smile. "Just admit it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."A bitter laugh almost escaped my lips.If we hadn't been standing inside his office building, I would have said something that would wipe that arrogant expression off his face."You're awfully full of yourself," Benita snapped before I could respond. "Bold of you to think we're here to lick your ass, Brandon."He let out a slow, exhausted sigh and leaned

VICTORIA ~Today was the day Liam and I were finally set to leave for Asheville City. Honestly, I hadn't expected us to stay this long in this city. The plan had been simple: get Liam and leave as soon as possible.But somehow, look how far we'd come."Benita, are you sure you'll keep your promise?" I asked as Liam and I prepared to leave and board the cab waiting for us outside."Of course. I'll always visit you guys whenever I'm free," she reassured me.Before getting into the cab, Liam and I exchanged hugs with Benita. She stood outside, waving goodbye to us until the cab was completely out of sight.By the time we arrived at the airport, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.We headed straight to the check-in area, and almost immediately, I noticed something strange. The customs officers seemed to be staring at me differently. Their attention appeared to be focused on me more than on the other passengers.Trying not to let it bother me, I calmly handed over my luggage for i

LOGAN ~Seriously, I never imagined Victoria would be staying away for this long when she told me she was leaving for Manhattan to fetch her son."Could it be what I'm thinking?"I shook my head, immediately dismissing the thought. I didn't want to believe that Brandon had actually succeeded in convincing Victoria to be with him... and that she had agreed.She hadn't even called me to update me on what was keeping her there for so long. And no, nothing had happened to her—at least, that was what I believed. I still saw her active on social media, even though she never stayed online for long.I had refused to message her. I'd been a fool over her for far too long.If she truly regarded me as someone important in her life, she would have at least sent me a message. Just a simple text telling me what was keeping her there or when she planned to return.It wasn't even necessary for us to be romantically involved for her to consider me important. After everything I had done for her and her
