Novel & Cerita Jerome's Ex Wife

Once they dispersed, leaving me standing alone, I casually sipped on my wine as my gaze darted to the entrance of the hall, expecting those bastards who almost ruined me If Noah hadn't stepped into my life five years ago. Not seeing them walk in, my gaze wandered around the crowded hall in search of them. Perhaps they might have walked in while I was still discussing with my business partners a moment ago. "Take a look at who we found! It's my unfaithful ex-wife who went around bedding her lovers while she was married to me five years ago!” A voice that I've never forgotten mocked me from behind.

"How can she love him so much? How can she forget about that passionate night between us?" I cannot stop wondering. It is so frustrating. She had been separated from her husband for three years because of Lance’s affair with Ruby. She had a crazy one-night stand with me a year ago. Then she returned to him recently and fell head over heels in love with Lance as if nothing had happened. She was having dinner at the same table with her husband’s ex. That woman, Ruby… I snort with annoyance. She is so terrible and pretentious. She has ruined my mood. I can see right through her mind. I don’t know how Lance is tolerating her. I am not sure how a stinky woman like her can be his friend.

“I heard you and the boss broke up ages ago. His new girl, Ugh , can’t stand her. Sometimes I wish I could scratch her eyes out with my nails.” My heart sank, broke up? That’s what he told them? Desmond kept our marriage a secret from most of the office. Maria had known we were dating, she had seen him bring me lunch and flowers but I’d never told her we got married. I had simply said I was leaving to “start something for myself,” and after that, I kept my distance. “This new girl,” I asked carefully, “she comes around often?”

“Then we take them both.” He gave her a sharp look. “You said we were after power, not romance.” “They *are* power,” she hissed. “Together.” He raised an eyebrow. “You want her gone that badly?” “She took everything,” Jolene snapped. “And she’s still standing.” He folded his arms. “Then it’s time we make her kneel.” --- Back at Storm Ridge, Emerie stood with Albert at the cliff’s edge—not trembling, not haunted. “You’re sure?” he asked.

"But when you got into college and I wanted to formally introduce myself, you also met Adam Graham, your ex-husband. Allie told me that he's been very good to you, so I stayed away…" Jasper sighed, staring calmly dead ahead as he reminisced about the past, unable to hide the smile as he remembered the happiness of bygone times. He told Renee everything about herself—from her marriage, divorce, and all the little things that happened after that. Renee sat on her bed, leaning against the headboard and listened. Jasper spoke without much exaggeration or bias, but the story was just so vivid that Renee couldn't help imagining the bliss he spoke of.

FELIX'S POV Jerome slid into the seat across from me. "You don't look so well. What's on your mind?" he asked. "My main problem is that woman," I snarled. He smiled. Jerome raised a brow. “You mean your ex-wife.” I slammed my palm against the table. “Wife. We are not yet divorced, and I have no plans to do so.” Jerome nodded, and then he took a deep breath. "She is trouble. Keeping her by yourself is going to make things complicated, and besides, you have Anna Sterling now by your side. You’ve gotten everything you wanted."

“-Bella Smith? Jarrod Smith's wife? Well, ex-wife?” I froze, surprised by how much this man knew about me. “Uh-” I stopped, unable to come up with any words. He rubbed the side of his neck awkwardly, “I was a fan..” he trailed off uneasiness evident on his face. When I was in college and after college, I was a model for a fashion collection. I was really social until- Jarrod found out I was pregnant with Cameron's child and my reputation was ruined. That was the only thing I did in my marriage asides look pretty and sexy.

Mavero will soon find her. “Where’s your mom, Erwan?” Jerome asked. Erwan remained silent, his mind drifting into somewhere far. “I placed a little bomb under the chair of your girl. I suppose it’s not too late to blow up her body, eh?” Jerome warned. “Mom’s in the hospital.” He said quietly. Jerome and Nathan furrowed their brows as if pondering why she’s in the hospital. Nathan was about to open his mouth to ask but Jerome stopped him. “Pick my wife from the hospital, my family and I will be heading abroad this instant. Have her met us at the airport,” Jerome said to someone over the phone.

“You what?” ​Jerome grinned, leaning over to kiss my cheek. “I told them my pregnant wife needs me, and I’m not stepping foot in that office for at least a week. Adrian can run the ship. I want to be here. With you. Painting the nursery. Arguing about names. Being a husband.” ​I smiled, setting the cup down. “I like the sound of that.” ​Jerome’s phone buzzed on the nightstand. ​He picked it up, glancing at the screen. His smile faltered slightly.

"Yes. Hailey was invited by her ex-husband to have a talk. She met Jerome there. She said she thought it was you but the behavior wasn't yours in any way." "Why am I not surprised?" Jared muttered. Jerome and Jared were identical. They looked so much the same, no physical difference, not in the slightest. Only the character would tell them apart. "But how come he's there? Did she say why he was there?" Jared probed further. "Her ex-husband and Jerome are friends. Doesn't it tell you anything, Jared?" My brother-in-law stepped further into the room, staring straight at his nephew whose countenance had changed.
