(Lydia)But Margaret was surprisingly calm around the kids. “Oh, my munchkins!” she exclaimed in a honey-sweet voice as they both trotted up to her. She ladled them both up into her arms. The joy in her eyes was contagious.“Grandma!” Mabel said happily, “Look at my pink rose!”. She extended her arm to show Margaret the glittering origami.“Ah,” Margaret gasped in indulgent delight, “This is a very pretty rose.” She nuzzled her nose against Mabel’s, “Just like my very pretty grand-daughter.”“Grandma Margaret?” Miles put an arm on her shoulder, “Have you met Grandma Adeline?” He pointed his other arm at my mother, who was sitting on the sofa, holding the paper tiger up to her eye level and painting delicate black stripes on it.Margaret smiled at Mama. “How do you do, Grandma Adeline?” she chuckled.Mama smiled back. “I’m well, Grandma Margaret. How do you do?”Mabel and Miles roared with laughter. They had caught up on this whole joke.“My tiger’s ready!” Miles exclaimed, “Come, Gran

(Lydia)Margaret took in my shocked expression. “Oh,” she said, “You didn’t know.”“How could I have known?” I responded.“I mean you’re mother’s here,” Margaret said, “She ought to have known.”“Don’t drag Mama into this!” I snarled.I didn’t even know why I got angry. Perhaps, it was because I had been on edge all day since my meeting with Sarah.Margaret’s voice was calm and collected. But her eyes were a set of stones. “Thomas doesn’t know anything about this either,” she said, “And I have no intention of letting him find out. Lydia, I’ve let your father know that he will have to reach out to you for money. He can squeeze the last drop out of you for all I care.”She straightened her back and looked condescendingly at me, “But I will not respond to threats made against my family. Get a grip on your father, is that clear?”“First of all, Margaret,” my nostrils flared, “I don’t need to tell your son about any of this. Second of all, I think you should know that I have already paid o
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 53 Children
(Thomas)Sarah was starting to feel a bit better. This morning, in fact, she had her house help bring in some vanity items and emerged from the bathroom after three hours with much glossier hair. I was pleased to see that color was returning to her cheeks and that she was returning to the land of the living.The baby is also doing fine now. But my heart felt tighter than ever.Although I had been working remotely -- and delegating most of my work to Jack – while I had been at the hospital to look after Sarah, I did not want to stay around her forever.All that I could think of was Lydia. I had wanted to return to start a life with her again and helped Sarah raise our child. It was the only thing that I wanted to do.But Mother had to facilitate – and even lead – most of the meetings ever since this disaster had happened and she had told me that with a new trend in the industry, our company was likely to suffer.And she had told me that, considering all that, it would be best for me to
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 54 The Police Station
(Lydia)Margaret was yelling at the chief of the Colorado police department. “HOW DARE YOU NOT HAVE FOUND THEM YET?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO TRAFFIC CAMERAS NEAR MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW’S HOUSE?! WHAT KIND OF A FLAWED, STUPID INSTITUTION ARE YOU RUNNING?!”The officer, Murray, was listening in obedient silence. I could tell that he was a little afraid of Margaret. And he should have been; she had never looked scarier in her life. Her eyes were wide, her lips were a tight line, and her voice was roaring.I, on the other hand, could not say a single word. Even the details of the report were given to the chief’s second in command, James Becker, by my mother. He was sitting in front of me, hastily taking notes and quivering at the wrath of my ex-mother-in-law.But nothing was making sense to me. I sat there, white with horror, my lips pursed and my mind numb. How could such a thing have happened? How could I have allowed it to happen?“He pulled out a knife,” Mama said, “and held it to m
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 55 Stay the Night?
(Lydia)“Now remember, ma’am, you need to stay calm,” James Becker said to me. He had been training me on how to speak with my father in a way that would tilt the situation in our favor. He had also instructed everyone else in the room to not speak when the phone call came unless he gave them a signal. “You must never allow him to feel as though he has the upper hand. This is a hostage situation.”The police had barely finished setting up the surveillance and tracing equipment when my phone began to ring. My vision was blurry and my ears were ringing. I took a deep breath and picked up the phone.“Hello, then, Mrs. Lombardi,” my father’s voice rasped and leered, “We speak again…”I swallowed. “What do you want?” My voice was calm and clear, but I was gripping the table with both hands to keep myself from shaking.Thomas, Jack, Ruby, and Margaret, were all seated at the table around me. A tactical team was spread around the room with their laptops laid out and monitoring the call.“It
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 56 My Babies
(Lydia)I knew that it was crazy to ask him to stay. But I knew that there was no way that I was ever going to be able to manage to pull through the night without him. I half expected him to say no, to return to his fiancée, and to leave me alone to deal with all of this.If he would have done that, I would have been fine. I had taught myself to pull through things. But right now, in this particular moment, I felt incredibly vulnerable.The whole world felt unfamiliar and scary and I did not want to go through this without him. I did not want to go through the pain of being apart from my children, of not knowing where they were or how they were doing while they were in a situation as dangerous as this, without the man who had, with me, brought them into this world.He had not been there when they had been born. He had not been there for their first three birthdays. But this – and especially because of the way that our relationship had changed and evolved over the last few weeks – I c

(Thomas)Lydia had been sobbing into my chest for the past hour. I did not stop her. I wanted to help her process her grief, her fear, and her pain in that moment. I could understand how she felt: helpless, terrified, and weak.To be honest, I could feel the same things, too.Outside, Mother was making calls to many of our associates: business partners with political allies, government officials, police officers, and even a member of the intelligence. She was going to pull every last string until the children were safely back home.I wanted to go out there and make the calls in her stead, maybe even go to the houses of the people who I knew could help. But, right now, I needed to be here for Lydia.She had fallen asleep crying and I had gently shifted her, trying to grab a cushion on my side and rest her head on it. But she had stirred when I had moved. So I had slowly shifted her head into my lap and put my feet up so that she could rest comfortably.I could feel the gentle rise and
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 58 The Wait
(Lydia)My stomach was twisting itself into knots. I didn’t know whether it was guilt about allowing this to happen, worry about what could happen to my children, or both of these at once.All I knew was that I should have absolutely not trusted my father. I began pacing up and down the hallway.Upstairs, Mama had locked herself up into her bedroom. I knew that she was chain-smoking in there.“We’ve gotten in touch with intelligence,” Thomas said to me.I paused. I ran up to him. “Do they have the location?” my voice was frantic.Thomas slowly shook his head, his eyes large and his mouth small with worry.“THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF BRINGING IT UP?!” I snapped.I was too out of my wits to be able to deal with my emotions right now. And I honestly could not understand why Thomas would not understand that.He stared at me, a little shaken.Margaret walked slowly up to us.“It’s going to be fine, Lydia,” she said, but her voice was quiet and her skin was ashen.“It is not going to be fin
