Tangled Desires: Ex Husband Wants Me Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Ava's PovGold Star Hotel was just another one of the Parker group's various hotels that was spread all over California. Tonight, it was illuminated with bright lights, and I could see a large mural of us right outside.It was my favourite picture of us, and it had been taken days before the wedding. Jerome was behind me, his chin resting on my shoulder, a smile on his face. His dimples sunk in, his eyes held twinkles, and he was holding me around my shoulders, and his other hand rested on my waist.I still wonder where that Jerome went. Was he just very good at acting? Did he never really care for the wedding? A part of me wanted to believe that he at least cared for me. That something hard changed after the wedding, but he... at some point in time, cared for me.I slowly got out of the car and walked up to the front entrance. I stopped by the mural again, and I took in a sharp breath. Maybe I just had to wait five years. Maybe I just had to wait a little more.A sigh left my lips, a

CHAPTER 4 - THE PREGNANCYAva's PovThe beeping sounds from the machines made me groan as I felt a sharpening headache from the back of my head."Argh! Someone turn that off!" I hissed in pain, struggling to keep my eyes closed. But I couldn't sleep anymore, and with great effort, I fluttered my eyes open to find myself staring at a white ceiling."What happened?" I murmured to myself, my hand instinctively going to my throbbing head. I managed to sit up and looked around, taking in my surroundings. I was in a hospital room. The last thing I remembered was lying helplessly at the bottom of the stairs.As I took deep breaths, memories came flooding back like an ocean, reminding me of the betrayal and how I was pushed down the stairs by Autumn. I glanced at the IV drip connected to my hand and ripped it off without hesitation, wincing as I began bleeding. But I felt numb, and quietly, I picked up a tissue and gently wiped away the blood stain before forcing myself out of bed.I found a

A loud bang landed on the door snapping me out of my thoughts and I got out of bed and made my way towards the door.I'd locked it earlier so he wouldn't try to barge in.“Are you messing with me now?” His voice was laced in frustration as he spoke and for a moment there I was scared.“What do you want?” I asked as soon as I got closer to the door.“Open up, Ava let's talk.” He responded and I hesitated for a brief moment before opening the door for him and moved away but he caught my wrist stopping me from getting away from him.“What is the meaning of this?” He raised a few documents so I could get a clear view but what I wanted at that moment was to break free from him.“Let go.” I muttered as I glared daggers at him.“Do you think this piece of paper is going to make any difference?” His eyes burned with anger but none of that mattered to me.“You're hurting me.” I half yelled.“Can we stop bickering for once and have a nice conversation?” His expression didn't change as he spoke.

“Is it true you left your Girlfriend to go be with your ex wife instead?” There seemed to be a long pause after that as I locked eyes with an unfamiliar reporter.I was about to ask for her name and the company she works for when Autumn came out of nowhere and snuggled her arm around mine.“Smile for the camera, Jay. You don't want them to know we're at log heads?” She said in between clenched so low only I could hear while she forced a smile for the camera.I cleared my throat as the flashes just wouldn't stop.My patience was running thin and this bitch was trying to make things worse.“Sorry guys but we won't be answering any more questions, as you can see Jay is exhausted from working so hard. He needs to rest for a while.” She spoke with a lazy smile on her face. Anyone who saw her at the moment would think she was truly going through something.“Get out of my way everyone.” My voice was dangerously low and this time no one dared to block my path as I walked towards my car with A

AUTUMN POV“Sit down,Autumn.” He muttered dryly and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at the moment.Without saying a word, I sat down on the couch in his office with my legs crossed while waiting for him to start chewing me out with his words.“Uhm if you don't mind, Father I've got an appointment in an hour so-”“Stop talking.” He cut me off before I could say anything else and I'd to swallow my grievance while I waited for him to finish whatever he was doing.He suddenly stopped working and got out of his chair to come join me on the couch.“What is going on,Autumn?” He suddenly asked and I played dumb.“What do you mean,Dad, I don't understand.” I feigned ignorance and that made him upset.“Oh cut the crap,Autumn… What's going on,huh? What's this? Where's the loving Kid who wouldn't think about hurting her family?” He looked at me hopelessly but unfortunately for him I'd gotten used to it already.I have come to terms with the fact that Father would never love me as much as he d
