Marry Me Again: The New CEO Is My Ex-husband
"What's your name?" He asked, making the managers go shut at once. They followed his gaze and it landed on Mallory.
Mallory felt her soul being pierced. Did he just ask for her name? Her Wilder didn't even know her name?
"Uh... her name is..."
"Let her speak for herself, Arlo" Wilder raised his hand at his cousin who zipped up at once.
Then, reluctantly, Mallory muttered: "I'm Mallory Harrington."
Wilder said nothing, his gaze on her unreadable.
Then, she asked. "Don't you... remember me?"
"Am I... supposed to know you?" Wilder asked with an unfeigned doubt.
This broke Mallory even more. How can her Wilder not recognize her?
Her next breath came raggedly, she had to drop her teary gaze to the floor.
"How can you not remember me?" She winced. "We were..."
**********
What happens when Mallory goes to work one morning and discovers the new CEO who was the soon-to-be heir to one of the richest companies in the world was her ex-husband who had been missing for seven years?
How does she tell him she used to be married to him before he went missing?
How does she tell him she was still very much in love with him and wanted him back in her life, even if there was someone else?
How does she tell him she had twins at home that looked like him?
How does she tell him any of these when he couldn't recognize her and acted very cold towards her? What happened to her Wilder?

Chapter: Her WilderMallory assisted Wilder with all he had to do for the day. But it was extremely sad for her that he barely looked her way.She could feel it. He was mad at her.When it was time for her kids to leave school, Mallory hated the fact that she had to call Ronan for help. Her workplace was very far from her kids' school. And since it was still work hours, it was against the rules for her to leave the company. She had no other person to call for help except Ronan who was a boss of his own and could easily send someone off to pick them.When she called and told him, he was glad to help. She knew he'd be.Seated on her desk, she stared at Wilder from the transparent glass. She wondered what his reaction would be if he got to learn of the kids. Would he accept them? Perhaps, he'd go to pick them up from school himself.She closed her eyes and fantasized on ho

Chapter: Who Owns These Kids?A while later, being a little calm, she picked up her phone and began calling her sister - Zara. It's been two weeks, yet there's been no word from her. It wasn't the first time Zara was being a bitch and staying away from home, but the family was still yet to get used to it. So, each time, it got them very worried. Zara was their youngest sister. From young, she was fond of mingling with the wrong people. It had been of great concern to their parents when they were alive. From time to time, Zara had gotten into trouble and would need their assistance. Now, it was getting worse. Luckily, Zara's phone went through when Mallory tried calling, but she didn't pick up. Mallory gave her six calls, but none was answered. She proceeded to arrange the files Wilder would be needing at the meeting. She was almost done when Arlo showed up, stopping at her table. "Hey, miss hard-to-get." He taunted, wearing a leering smile. Mallory suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. "Good morning, Mr. Ar

Chapter: Wilder's Silence Mallory didn't realize when her hand moved to Isla's cheek, giving her a slap. It came as a shock, Isla gasped as she held her cheek."Don't ever give such derogatory remarks about my kids—ever again," she warned, her index finger quivering as she pointed it at her.Isla's eyes widened in shock."How dare you?" She yelled and yanked Mallory's hair.Mallory didn't relent as she equally yanked her hair, and nosily, the two ladies got involved in a hair fight.Their voices attracted grandma Heather who came running up the staircase."Hey! What is wrong with you two?! Stop it! Stop it now!" She reprimanded and managed to pull them apart. Mallory's fine bun had become a mess."Are you two crazy? How dare you fight under my roof?" Heather scoffed, but the two ladies simply glared at each other, Is

Chapter: The Bitter Blame His eyes narrowed, then that deep expression of anger and irritation crawled in.Mallory was befogged. Why was Wilder in that mood?She looked at Ronan and found him equally angry. Both men looked like they'd be throwing punches at each other if they were locked up in a room."Hey," Ronan cocked his head. "Long time no see."Wilder glared without uttering a word. Slowly, he shifted his gaze to Mallory."How're you associated with someone like him, Miss Harrington?" His voice held irritation, it caused Mallory's brows to crease."She's actually my woman." Ronan put his hand around her waist, screaming dominance.Mallory stiffened instantly, her heart beating loudly in her chest. What in God's name?!Guiltily, she looked at Wilder and saw hate in his eyes."Your woman?" He scoffed and nodded. "It's ironic, isn't it? The good ones always meet the bad ones. Or perhaps, she isn't the good one."Mallory nearly gasped at his words. No No No. How could Wilder even say that to her face?Ronan

Chapter: They Know Each Other Mallory arrived home to meet Ronan playing with the kids. They were under the shed of the house, the kids giggling as they jumped all around him, putting ribbons on himNoticing her, they stopped."Mummy!" They chorused and scuttled to her for a hug. She gave them that."Hey, darlings. How was school today?" She tousled their hair."It was boring!""Great!"They gave different answers at the same time, making Mallory chuckle.She shifted her gaze to Ronan who was still seated and smiling."Hi." She muttered to him."Mum, Uncle Ronan said we'll all go for dinner when you get home!" Lyra beamed, having to tilt her head back to look into Mallory's face.Mallory's brows furrowed as she shot Ronan a hard stare. She softened her gaze when she looked at the kids."Uh... I'm afraid that cannot happen. Mummy's very tired and still has some work to do," she cooed, playing with Lyra's bristle.A frown crept into the children's faces."But, mum...""Come on. Why don't you go in and wait for me?"

Chapter: Wilder's Suspicion It took Mallory a lot not to shed a tear as she returned to her seat. Seeing her Wilder being kissed by another woman broke her so bad, she didn't know how on earth she hadn't passed out from such pain.A while later, her colleagues came up and called her over for lunch. Feebly, she went with them.They sat in the canteen, and while her colleagues chatted and laughed blissfully, Mallory only focused on her meal - which she was hardly eating."Tell us, Mallory; What is it like, working with the new CEO?" Chloe asked excitedly.Mallory itched her neck, finding the question uncomfortable."He's... he's cool. It's awesome," she shrugged.It was so difficult speaking about Wilder like a random guy. What would be their reaction when they get to know she's his ex-wife? An ex-wife he couldn't even remember."Right?!" Kaida clapped her hands. "I'm sure if he wasn't engaged, you'd have been crushing hard on him!"Mallory felt another thump in her chest. Engaged? He was engaged to that lady?"He

Divorce Has Never Felt So Good
"I, Nikolai Kensington, will make you so rich, you'll walk on money. I'll place you above your enemies and make them worship at your feet. You'll no longer be known as the timid Adira, but you'll become known as one of the most powerful women in the country." Those were the words that changed Adira's life forever.
Adira Ravenswood was heartbroken when Lancelot divorced her to be with his second lover. They had been friends from childhood, so she had loved him so dearly and didn't know how to move on without him.
While Lancelot was from a very rich home, Adira was very poor, and she felt that was part of the reasons he had quit the marriage.
Everyone ridiculed her, Lancelot's mother froze her accounts so she couldn't have access to the money she had gotten from him. Adira's own family mocked and looked down on her. They said she could never amount to anything.
Adira was broken and dejected and was at the verge of taking her life when the most powerful, but cold-hearted man in the country showed up and offered her a juicy proposal - one that would make her trample on every single person that's ever hurt her. But it came with a condition - a condition that was very easy, yet so difficult.

And as soon as she did, the mighty Jagger slumped to the floor.Lyra watched with shaky breath as he writhed and gasped for air. Fearfully, she watched and could do nothing.His widened eyes looked at her, calling for help. Until finally, he stopped struggling. His eyes remained open, but she could tell they weren't alive anymore. He was...dead.The knife fell off her hand, and only then did she realize the gravity of what she had done. With her bare hands, she just killed her own father. She killed him!"No..." She muttered inaudibly, fear eating her up.Disgust crawled into her stomach, making her throw up instantly in the room. Tears spilled from her eyes as she dabbed her lips and looked at her father's corpse on the floor. How did she become this? How could she become this?"No!" She let out a painful cry. Her anger had gotten the best of her.

Chapter: 75Lyra walked into the house and found Jagger there in the living room, having some apples. He had a knife with which he cut out the apple before taking it into his mouth. He seemed so happy, while she was there, mourning."Lyra." He called, his mouth full with a chunk of apple. "You didn't tell me you were coming."Lyra's eyes were sore and swollen. She fixed her gaze on him as she dropped her bag on the parting table in the room."How do you do it?" She asked in a low tone. "How do you manage to stay so happy when our biggest plan crashed a week ago? You didn't even bother to comfort me, neither did you seem worried that we had lost a lot of money. You didn't even try to come up with an alternative or something. It's so unlike...you."Jagger scoffed. He sliced out a piece of apple and threw it into his mouth before looking at her."Did you say an alternative? What was I supposed to do?

Chapter: 74Bellamy and her husband ran into Nikolai's room and gasped when they found him awake on the bed. When Na-ri had called and told them about it, they couldn't believe. But finally setting their eyes on him..."My dear son..." She whimpered as she went closer, holding his hand. "Good Lord! You're awake."Nikolai was still lying on the bed, and his face etched with concern when his parents came in alone."Nik, how're you feeling?" Mr. Vincent asked, going to stand at the edge of the bed.Nikolai's eyes were fixed on the door, and when he didn't see who he was expecting, he looked at his parents."Where's she? Why isn't she here?" He asked feebly.Bellamy shared a glance with Na-ri. Na-ri had also told them over the phone that he was asking for Adira.Wearing a smile, Bellamy caresssed his hand."Son, you just woke up after a long time. I believe you need as much rest as you can get. Stop worrying about anyone and just...""Where's she?!" He half-yelled. It was now becoming obvious that so

Chapter: 73Adira found it difficult believing Bellamy's words. Was she for real? How could this woman have the guts to say this to her face?She was hurt, she wouldn't deny; hurt that Nikolai had been processing their divorce. Of course, he told her about it. But now, it was just too difficult to believe.She sniffed as an uncontrolled tear dropped to her cheek. Looking up at Bellamy, she found no emotions on the woman's face. When did the woman change so much? She used to love her a lot.She looked at the paper again before pushing it away, towards Bellamy."I'm not signing it." She said in a hardened tone.Bellamy's brows furrowed in surprise. She never expected that rigidity from Adira."Are you being serious?" She scoffed. "Do you have any idea what I'm offering you? If you agree to sign these documents, I'll make sure we drop the charges against you and you can be out of jail. You'll be free."The temptation of the offer lingered on Adira's mind.

Due to Nikolai's absence, his position at the company had gotten pretty high.

He even had to move out of the mansion as he got tired of the unending gloom.He just finished from a meeting and was walking out with his assistant when a call came into his phone. It was Kalina again. He'd lost count of the number of times she had called him for the day, and it was becoming annoying already.Grudgingly, he answered the call."Finally! Someone decided to take my call." She exclaimed, her voice echoing with anger. "What is going on, Vesper? You have been ignoring me for ages now.""I was in a meeting, okay?

"The will was to be ready today, and he'd have signed it already. My life would've been all better by now."Jagger had a glass of wine with him, and he sipped from time to time, saying nothing to his hurting daughter."Lyra, come on, it's enough." Jared rolled her eyes, tired of her whinging already."I'm also angry that the plan was ruined at the last minute, but you shouldn't kill yourself over it.

The Mafia Demon: Her Body, His Possession
Warning! Explicit content!
I smelt something different the moment I stepped foot in my room. It was dark and I couldn't see a thing, but something smelt different.
I moved my hand to the wall, turning on the light switch. The entire place became bright immediately, and that was the moment my nightmare began, the moment my life changed forever.
Electrifying shock tingled through me as I found a strange figure, seated in the middle of the room.
My blood ran cold instantly. My legs tottered and my lungs stopped pumping air.
His presence froze me at once, or was it his eyes that were as cold and dark as shadows carved in stones? They stared so coldly at me, cloaked in an eerie stillness that sent shivers down my spine.
I had never seen a picture of the devil before. But this guy in front me looked like someone who must be very close to him.
****
He had been stalking her for three days. He knew where she worked, where she lived and the dumb people she visited. She didn't have much friends, just a bunch of nuns who appeared in fúcking white garments.
She smiled so brightly like she was the purest soul on earth. She acted so naive like she's never been fucked before. It didn't matter how much she pretended, how much she tried to hide her identity.
She was his next target and he'd be treating her like one. He didn't become the King of the night for no reason; the renowned torturer.
He'd torture her like he did to others, get the information he needed and put a sweet bullet in her head. She was not getting off his list.

Chapter: His Target JERAHI didn't realize when we got home. From the moment Void had met me in the room and helped me into his car, all I could recall doing was shedding tears.I didn't even try to stop. For the first time, I was gripped by a new, unfamiliar pain. It was unlike any I had known.Bit by bit, my memories began to return. They weren't vivid yet, but Mina's words morphed into images and made it a little easy to recover some of the memories.Although, I wished I didn't have to remember them. But they just came freely.I had been truly evil. I recalled those times I'd hurt my father's servants for the slightest offense. I recalled when how happy I was to hurt someone, and how uncomfortable I was when the atmosphere was too peaceful. There was a day I had chopped off a woman's finger for burning my meal. While she wailed, father had applauded me. And I had been so happy.I was too young to have a heart as dark as that. If I hadn't fallen off the cliff and lost my mem

He knew how ruthless she was and that the last thing she'd do was side with her father's enemies.However, he was heavily confused for the first time. Don. Serpente had assigned him and a few others to be on the lookout for Void. He had gotten info that Void was seen leaving Don. Lucio's apartment.

I was yet to define what my relationship was with him. Although, there have been little signs of it, he'd never declared he liked me or even cared enough for me.
