All Chapters of Return Of The Ex Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER ONE Aysha POV I woke up to giggling. Not just any giggling, the kind that's too comfortable, too familiar, the kind that doesn't belong in a married home at this hour. I sat up slowly, blinking the sleep out of my eyes. The sound was coming from across the hallway. Adrian, My husband's study. I tied my robe and padded toward it, telling myself I was probably imagining things. "Oh Adrian, you're so funny." The voice said again. I stopped dead in front of the door. That's Mira, his personal assistant . My stomach twisted upon realization . I pressed my eye to the keyhole, because I wasn't allowed near the study. Adrian made that clear a long time ago. "That room is for important people and important things," he had said one night, not even looking up from his desk. "Unfortunately, Aysha, you are neither." That felt like a knife to my skin. I looked through the keyhole and what I saw made my chest cave in. Mira was sitting on his lap. Right there, comfort

Aysha POV"I see you finally got that place cleaned up." Adrian said as he walked through the door.I nodded, still a little shaken up."Good. Well I need you to get dressed, there's an event this evening and unfortunately you'll be going with me. Don't embarrass me with your plain Jane look. Try to look less ugly. Be ready in two hours." With that he went out of the room.I checked the time on my phone, it was almost four. I quickly went to take a quick shower to get a fresh look. I already had a dress in mind.In less than two hours, I was finally done getting ready. My husband hates waiting, so I knew I had to be quick before he leaves me.I had on a black strapless gown, with a slit at the side. It was a present from my mother. For my look, I went with a little more flashy makeup, definitely not my style but it will do for tonight. I curled my hair, put on my LV heels, sprayed my perfume and I was ready to head out."Took you long enough." He said as I walked down the stairs."I w

Aysha POV:"Where in the world is this man." I said to no one in particular.I've been waiting eagerly for Adrian to come home. I don't know why he's taking so long to get here."What if he decides not to come home tonight." I bite my lips anxiously."Oh fuck, I can't afford for my plans to get ruined all because of a stupid prank." I panicked, thinking about how this could be a waste of time.I went to check on the food and realized it had gotten cold. I quickly threw them into the microwave to reheat it while I kept peeping outside, just in case he drives in.The food finally got done and I decided to leave it in until I hear his car pull up.I called Martha to know if she had arrived safely."Hey dear, I just wanted to check up on you, if you've gotten there safely?""Yes ma, I have. Thank you so much for the break. I hope you're having a good romantic day with Sir.""Well.... I will, when he gets home.""Sir hasn't gotten home yet?""Not yet.""That's strange, he seems later than

Adrian POVI woke up to my phone ringing loudly beside me.I groaned and reached across the bedside table without opening my eyes, hoping that whoever was calling this early had better have a good reason for disrupting my sleep.I answered and brought the phone to my ear."Give me one good reason why I shouldn't curse you out."There was a brief silence on the other end."Excuse me?"I frowned. That wasn't my PA's voice.I opened my eyes and pulled the phone away to look at the screen. It was an unknown number.I cleared my throat and brought it back to my ear."Sorry. I thought you were someone else.""It's alright, sir. I'm calling from the Central Police Station."The last bit of sleep left my body immediately."Is there a problem?""We got this number from your wife's phone."I sat up straight in bed."My wife's phone?""Yes, sir."I waited for her to continue. She took a slow breath before she spoke again."We're sorry to inform you that your wife passed away this morning in a ca

The next morning, my black SUV pulled into the parking lot of the police station.I stepped out first, adjusting my jacket before I even looked up at the building. Mira came around the other side and linked her arm with mine, holding on a little tighter than necessary."Are you ready for this?" she asked quietly."No," I said. "But I don't have much of a choice."An officer met us at the entrance."Mr. Hayes?"I nodded."This way, please."He led us into a small office with nothing but a desk, two chairs, and a single window that let in a thin strip of morning light. A clear evidence bag sat on the table, waiting for me before I even sat down."We recovered these from the scene," the officer said, sliding it toward me.I looked inside slowly. Aysha's phone, the screen cracked in one corner. Her purse, the leather scuffed along the edges. A broken wristwatch. Her wedding ring sat there too, the same one I had put on her finger ten years ago. And beneath it all, a necklace I had bought
