All Chapters of His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful!: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

– Lisa Red –I woke up with that usual warmth wrapped around my naked body, the manly scent running up my nose in a way that made me cuddle against him.It had been almost two weeks since I confessed my feelings, and each day since made me glad for that.Drex had gone to the new York two days after the confession, and returned a week late.After, we spent every day following a similar circle. After work, I'd return home with Imogen, to him standing by my door. He'd flash me that overly handsome grin of his and then Imogen would jump in his arms.Together, we'd make something to eat, then play with Imogen, help her with her homework and studying, then have dinner, before he set her to sleep, and the two of us would enjoy a nice night together.It wasn't always sex we did though. Sometimes, we just discussed funny things about our childhood, and how nice it was being where we were.Last night though, it had been steamy and my aching thigh reminded me of how hot he'd looked as he slammed

I watched her leave, my eyes following her car till it disappeared out of sight.My jaw was clenched. Fury welled up my chest, fingers curled tightly at my side as I took in a breath of patience.I wasn't going to let her ruin my mood.She just wasn't worth it.With that, I turned and started towards my company.As I walked in, the look on Cassie's face when she said the last words before leaving flashed.She'd sounded serious. And although I wasn't going to be bothered by her empty threats, an uneasy feeling settled in my chest.What was she going to do? Try to have me killed again? Or start to disturb my daughter once more?I didn't know, but one thing was certain, if she tried anything funny with me or Imogen, I wasn't just going to let it slide.When I reached my office, Irea arrived and she relaid me on my schedule for the day.The next hour, I started to review designs, unsure why a part of me still felt a little… disturbed.Was I really letting Cassie's words get to me? That w

“What the—? What is this?” What the hell was I seeing?I had to re-read the caption like that'd change what was written. My blood suddenly felt cold, breath hitched.Drex was arrested?He was arrested?!I clicked on the video with slightly trembling hands, trying to get my head around whatever was happening.The video showed the cops walking a handcuffed Drex out of his company.His expression was plain, emotionless, and he didn't argue. Didn't even try to free himself.“This… This is absurd.” I breathed out, fingers dragging through my hair as I pushed the chair back and stood so quickly, it hit the wall behind me.“Drex didn't do it. He would never, so what's all this? What on earth is—? Oh God.” My hand gripped a few strands of hair as I started to pace, my breath uneven.“I-I also don't think he'd do that.” Irea said, her cheeks flushed.“Of course he won't!” I growled.The look on Cassie's face as she'd warned me the day before came flashing back, and my fingers curled tightly in

– Rachel Red –“Wh-What?” I felt the color leave my skin.No.I had to have misheard. The doctor did not just say what I thought he said.But he repeated, “Yes, ma'am. The biopsy confirmed lung cancer.”“No.” A wave of dizziness washed over me. I had to grab the bed's headboard to keep myself steady.Cancer? “I-I have cancer.” The word alone made my head spin, heart starting to race.“I know that's a lot to take in.” He continued. “But based on everything we've found so far, we believe we've caught it early. “There's no evidence that it has spread which means it's likely stage one cancer.”My bottom lip trembled. I knew that was supposed to make me feel better, but it didn't.Because I had cancer.And in the lungs at that.Tears stinged at the back of my eyes, but I bit my lower lip to keep from crying.“What will I do?”“I'd like it if you can come in as soon as possible so we can go over the findings in detail and discuss treatment.”My fingers tightened around the phone and I suck

One hour later, I steered into Cassie's compound. I'd dropped Imogen with Rachel, and when my sister asked where I was going, I just told her I'd explain later.At the moment, I had to sort things out.So, I drew in a large breath, before getting out of my car, to her building, then pressed the doorbell.I waited over thirty seconds before it opened to reveal my step cousin dressed in a gray robe.“Oh?” She raised a brow. “What're you doing here, lil’ cuz?”I brushed past her and walked inside, heading to the parlor.It was just as I'd expected. Walls painted white, with cream colored couches, and a round black glass center table.“I didn't say you could come in.” She shut the door behind her.When I turned, her arms were crossed over her chest. “What do you want, Lisa?”“Drop the case.” I said. “I want you to drop the case and let Drex be released.”She looked surprised for a second, before the side of her lips curled up. “Wait… are you here to beg me?” Cassie laughed loudly. “Oh my
