Ex Husband Novels & Stories

"Who's a stranger to you? I'm Freddie, your—" "Ex-husband," I cut him off, giving him a half-smile as he frowned. I couldn't explain it, but something in his expression softened at my words, almost as if his attitude had shifted.

My ex-wife. *****

He directly asked, not bothering to exchange any forms of greetings with his son. "Not yet," Nathan replied. Mr. Hawthorne let out a scoff before banging his hand on the table loudly. "Then, what the hell are you doing? Do you keep messing around with that mistress of yours? Tell me, why do you have to divorce your wife in the first place? For Pete's sake, you married her!" He yelled with veins popping on his neck. Nathaniel sighed. The old man had been on this matter since Stacy left his house five years ago and he doesn't mean to let go of the issue even till this moment. He hates Rita to the core and would always make it shown by his words and actions.

"It's all thanks to his gold-digging ex-wife who abandoned him that I got to meet such a wonderful man." Ex-wife? Gold-digging? My fingers tightened around the glass. "Your husband… was married before?" "Mhm." Chloe pouted, her expression immediately filling with contempt. "I heard his ex-wife was an incredibly greedy woman." "She took all his savings and ran off with some lowlife. No one has heard from her since." "They didn't even finalize the divorce." "My husband feels bad about it, so to make it up to me, he's willing to buy me anything and everything."

He said, and my hand clenched beside me. “This isn’t any of your business, Mr Steele. This is between me and my wife so mind your fucking business.” I took another step forward. “From the look of things, she is no longer your wife. She’s divorced you, which makes you an ex.” He spat out, and I so badly wanted to punch his pretty face.

"And your husband?" I glanced at the clasp on my bag, still smiling. "We're divorcing. I'm sure the hospital's heard by now—Peter's been hanging around OB-GYN. Says she's his sister, but come on, Rebecca. We're both women. We know what that really means." She didn't say a word. Just signed the resignation. "Yuna, the world's a lot bigger when you stop tying yourself to love." I took the papers and headed to my office to pack.

Another performance. "Mr. Harrison, tell the court about your rehabilitation efforts." "I have taken every class available. Anger management. Financial ethics. Therapy. I am not the same man I was five years ago." "What about these emails?" "I was angry. I said things I did not mean. But I would never actually hurt Evelyn. I loved her." "Loved? Past tense?" "I have accepted that our marriage is over. I have moved on. I just want to serve my time and rebuild my life."

It was a statement of fact, delivered with the same gravity he used to close billion-dollar deals. "Not a return to what we were," he continued, his eyes locked on mine. He didn't blink. "I don't want the ghost of our marriage, Sera. I want something new. Something we build from here, on the ground we’ve cleared. I want it to be permanent." I felt the air leave my lungs. My fingers tightened on the shears. I wanted to look away, to find something else to focus on, but he wouldn't let me. His gaze was a tether, pulling me toward him.

“Was he your previous lover?” Lover? It was I who only loved my ex-husband. He never did that to me. “Lover is such a serious word. But yes. He was once my husband. Ex-husband, to be specific. We already signed the divorce paper. He was the one who wanted to divorce me.” Hawk flinched. “Even after he knew about your son.” I threw my gaze at the window. Tall buildings welcomed my sight, and then I shifted my gaze back at Hawk.

Griffith furrowed his brow as he could not figure out what Charlotte was thinking. "Is she seriously leaving this time?" Eli asked after observing Griffith's expression. Griffith remained silent. Eli chuckled and leaned back, saying, "Divorce, huh? I have experience with that." "You seem to have experience in everything besides having children," Griffith mocked. Eli laughed and replied, "You don't believe me?" Then he took his phone out and showed Griffith a picture of his divorce decree. "I just got divorced last week." Griffith looked at the divorce decree and felt irritable. He did not know when Eli got married and was not interested in why he got divorced. He tossed the phone back.
