Burning desire: my ex-husband wants me back Chapter 109
Two days later, Riana came to the Good Shepherd hospital and went to room 13, Jonathan’s Heartcut's private room.On the bed was Jonathan. He looked pale and weak and was in great pain. His cancer had spread, and he was surviving with chemotherapy. His last chemo was wearing off, and this made his health deteriorate. He gnashed his teeth as he lay down on the bed. His eyes were heavy with pain.Jonathan adjusted himself and sat up the moment Riana stepped into the room.She had waited until Regina left for work before she came in. Whatever she wanted to discuss with Jonathan was private and just between them.“How are you doing?” Riana said.“What do you expect? I’m dying gradually, leaving my poor wife to bear my family burden alone. How can she cope with the bills and the kids? I will never die a happy man.” His face paled up, and he was saddened with grief.“Too bad, but you can change the situation if you want”“How’s that possible? Couldn’t do anything on a sick bed” Riana saw

Abel looked at the beautiful box in his hand and smiled. Wyatt did a marvelous job. He restructured the chest and gave it an entirely new look. The design was modern with features that represent Avery’s classic personality.Avery’s beautiful face replaced that of Queen Victoria. Inside the chest was the diamond ring old Bennett gave to Avery, which Abel took away from her. Abel knotted his tie and looked at his impeccable reflection in the mirror. His frosty allure emanates his strength and arrogance. His well-trimmed hair and cold gray eyes suited the three-piece designer suit he wore, making him a masterpiece of a creature.He strode out of his room and met Jason, who was patiently waiting for him in the living room.“Are you sure of this?” Jason asked. He was worried and concerned.“I can’t watch that womanizer propose to her tonight” Abel’s heart throbbed at the thought. How could he watch Evanston put an engagement ring on Avery? He was nervous and frightened at the same time

Lucy’s life was different. When she was eight, her father passed away, and her mother remarried a man who couldn’t tolerate her presence.Lucy spent most of her life in boarding school. She has little or no bond with her family. Looking at Avery, she wonders if she could find a man who will adore her like Clinton's siblings.She desires to wed a man who will shower her with love and affection and have many children to share her joy with. The joy she never experienced and the love she never felt during her childhood. But who is the right man? Who will give her such love? She stared at Tobias, who never lifted his gaze from Avery.If only he would notice how his presence affects her. Lucy thought.“Take,” Tobias said. He added some chicken wings to Avery’s plate.“Thank you, Toby” Avery took the chicken wing and devoured it in no time. Lucy was stunned.“Avery, you have such a prodigious appetite. When did you last eat? You have been eating a lot lately,” Lucy said.Avery chuckled.

Seeing Avery's countenance, Tobias took the box away and the lid opened wide. He gasped in horror.“What kind of gift is this? Why give Avery a baby shoe? What do you call this?” Tobias asked immediately, the shock off.Hearing a baby shoe, Adam and Sebastian looked into the box.“Lucy has Tobias' attitude made you forget things? Have forgotten that Avery is a grown woman, not a kid?” Adam said.“I’m sure Lucy wants to pull our legs. She must have the correct gift somewhere and wish to give it to Avery in secret. Isn’t it Lucy,” Sebastian said.“Does that mean Ms Clinton doesn’t value my gift? Or are you telling me you don’t need this?”Avery was calm. No wonder Lucy was acting strange throughout the evening. She might be irritated by Tobias' attitude, but she never let it get to her. Now she knew her reason. Her careless remarks about her becoming fat and eating too much show she already knew she was pregnant and this gift? She tried hard to let her know how hurt she was.“If Ms Cli

Abel saw the red roses Avery planted in his garden and thought red roses were her favorite. He then ordered the beautiful flowers he came with. But what he did not know was that Avery despised the sight of the rose he carried.“Happy birthday,” Abel said and etched closer.After marrying and divorcing Abel, Avery had many schemes brewing in her mind. But she thought her recent action at the auction was a little overboard.She recalled the way Abel’s eyes were shattered when the Treasure Chest was brought on the stage. She also saw how he fought hard to regain it and knew she had gone too far.She would have pretended that she didn’t see the Treasure Chest and not brought it to the auction and publicly humiliated him.However, Avery was not concerned.She was not bothered about the divorce. She has resigned herself, knowing that the love she pursued since she was a kid has gone.It just irked her mind that a man so smart like Abel could fall for a fiendish woman such as Riana. “I have

“I bought this for you,” Abel said.He brought forth the bouquet of roses.Avery glared at the flower in disgust. It reminded her of the days she spent in his house. Just like thorns surrounded the rose petals, that’s how Abel’s vileness surrounded her life.Avery intentionally planted the red roses just to show how handsome Abel looked outside, but inside, his heart was piled with thorns that nearly choked her to death.“Don’t you like roses? You planted them in our home remember”Avery pulled her brow and chuckled.Our home? Since when did Abel consider his home hers? Last, she remembered it belonged to Riana. Avery didn’t want to concern herself with such a petty thought, so she said.“Of course, I remember how you and Riana were choking the hell out of my life, just like the thorn was choking the beautiful rose to death”Abel’s heart sank. He stared at the flower in his hands and thought he knew nothing about his ex-wife. Here he was, thinking that Avery would appreciate his effo

A man wearing a tailored gray suit approached them. The man excluded elegance and charm. He has flawlessly sculpted features that show his strength. A face so immaculately handsome. It was beyond words with his innate grace and nobility along with that dreamy face; he seemed heaven-sent and undeniable every woman's dream.How would one describe him? He was the very definition of Prince Charming, who has stepped out from fairy tales. He was flawless.Avery has worked and chatted with him, but has never for once taken notice of his handsomeness. It was Evanston Stone, the seventh grandson of George Stone and the notorious womanizer. He strode between the musical troops etched closer to Avery with a bouquet of sunflowers. He leaned closer and kissed Avery on the cheek. Avery's eyes glittered; it was obvious that she was charmed by this handsome creature, and that made Abel groan.“Happy birthday, beautiful,” Evanston said and handed the flower to Avery. She took the flower and hugg

Abel's words brought Avery out of trance and back to reality.She pushed him away and ran out of the place embarrassed.Evanston and Tobias wanted to pursue after her, but Sebastian stopped them.“Let her be”Abel stared at the roses in his hands and dumped them on the floor, then went after Avery. He won't let Sebastian stop him. No one will stop him from pursuing his wife.Avery stopped running and held her chest. What just happened was unexpected and wrong.How could her body betray her in this manner? Why did she still feel like her body believed in Abel rather than herself?She can’t forgive Abel Copper and will not forget what she went through in his hands. But then, that kiss, it was heaven. Something she has never felt before except from the night of the business meeting.She smiled and ran her finger on her lips as she recalled their wild night together, the night that brought the babies growing insid

"Please don't be irrational, Axel. Please sit down. Let's talk about this,” Abel pleaded.“Sign the document first,” Axel said, pointing to the table where a copy of the document lay.“Sign it, or I will blow her off.”Abel hesitated but finally took the pen on the table and signed his name on the document.“The document is signed. Hand my girl over,” Abel demanded.Axel shoved Aerial toward her parents and grabbed the document. His gun still pointed at them, he quickly scanned the paper, confirming Abel’s signature. A sinister smile spread across his face. He could hardly believe it—he finally owned the Coppers Group.Facing them again, Axel picked up a small canister from his side and began pouring out its contents. Then, he pulled a lighter from his pocket.“What do you plan to do?” Avery asked, her voice trembling.“Isn't it obvious?” Axel smirked. “I'm going to burn this place down. No one will ever find out what happened.”“Why would you do that? I’ve signed the document!” Abel

Avery went into her room and brought back the laptop.After Abel logged in, he noticed an email among a pool of other messages. It was a contract agreement concerning the shares of his company.“Sign the contract, and you will see your daughter,” the message read.“What’s in the document? Open it, let’s see,” Currie said, noticing her brother’s troubled expression. Abel opened the document and stared at the contents in shock.Avery pulled the laptop toward herself and read the agreement on the screen.“He wants seventy-five percent of your company’s shares?” she exclaimed.“I will do anything to bring Aerial back. That’s my promise,” Abel said firmly. Only Douglas could stoop to such devious means. He was the only one who knew Abel had children with Avery. Was this his revenge for destroying his incriminating videos and letting Jason deal with him?“You can’t do that!” Currie protested. “Let’s involve the police. There’s no way you should give up your company. You worked too hard to g

"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that he was your son at the time. After he came to my office a few days ago demanding to see me and calling me his Daddy, I had no choice but to investigate the truth," Abel explained."You went to his office? When was that? How did you even know about him?" Avery asked, her face filled with shock. Turning to Abel, she added, "Were you influencing my kids and turning them against me?""You’ve misunderstood," Abel replied calmly. "I didn’t get to see him that day. He was gone before I could come out of my office. A few days later, I ran into him at his school and tried to learn more about his family, but the boy was so smart—he refused to give me any information. That made me think of the strange woman I had been with at the business meeting years ago. Determined to uncover the truth, I discreetly took a sample of his hair for a DNA test."It was only later, when I saw you pick him up, that I realized you are his mother," he continued, stepping closer to Aver

“I can't leave, I need to look around. She might be somewhere nearby, afraid and waiting for me to come,” Avery said, her voice trembling with tears.“It’s already night, and there’s nothing more we can do right now. Let’s trust the authorities to handle this. Come on, let’s get out of here,” Abel said gently.Just then, Abel’s phone rang. He stepped aside to answer it, returning moments later with a small smile. Without a word, he led Avery back home.---At home, Avery’s son, Aaron, approached hesitantly.“Daddy, will you find Aerial?” Aaron asked softly.“Stop calling him that! He’s not your daddy!” Avery snapped, her voice sharper than she intended.Abel’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I’m sorry, Avery, but don’t you think you’re being too harsh on the boy?” He pulled Aaron into his arms and said, “I promise you with my life, I’ll find Aerial.”“Will you stay with us tonight?” Aaron asked, his small voice filled with hope.“Of course, yes,” Abel replied.“No, you won’t!” Avery

Meanwhile, Currie knelt before Avery, her body shaking as she wept bitterly. The shock of the events had hollowed her out, leaving her an empty shell.“Forgive me, sister Nuu,” Currie sobbed. “I never meant for this to happen. It’s my fault. I should never have brought them here.”“What happened to my daughter, Currie? You’re scaring me!” Avery cried, her voice rising in desperation.Through her tears, Currie tried to explain. “She was playing with the other kids a few feet away while Aaron and I were working on a puzzle. Then suddenly, smoke filled the air. Everything turned chaotic."I grabbed Aaron and ran to look for Aerial, but I couldn’t see anything. The smoke was so thick and black. I pushed forward, calling her name, but the fire broke out before I could reach her."I held onto Aaron tightly, afraid he’d get hurt if I let go. But I was determined to get to Aerial. The crowd shoved me back, everyone panicking and running in different directions."When the fire intensified, I t

Chapter 158“I hope they are mine,” Abel thought to himself. The possibility lifted his mood. For so many years, he had wished to have children of his own, and after what happened between him and Riana, Abel vowed never to marry anyone except Avery—the woman who loved him unconditionally.His mind drifted back to the children. Having a son like Aaron would mean so much to him. And the girl? He smiled.He hadn’t spent much time with the little girl, but her cheerful allure drew him in. She looked so beautiful and adorable, so much like Avery, with leaf-brown hair that resembled his own.Thinking of this, Abel felt a little bubble of hope swelling within him. He prayed earnestly that they would be his.“Are they mine, Avery? Please tell me. I really want to know,” he asked, his eyes searching hers for an answer. Before Avery could utter a word, his phone rang.Abel ignored it, but when the ringing persisted, he quickly switched it off and turned his attention back to Avery. At that same

Chapter 157“Who is the boy’s father, and how did you know the little boy?” Abel asked.“Take a look at this,” Douglas said, shoving his phone into Abel’s hands.Abel stared at the video playing before his eyes, his heart pounding. His legs wobbled, and his hands became clammy.Before the video could end, Abel clenched the phone tightly and strode toward the exit.“Wait! What about the collaboration? And where are you going with my phone?” Douglas shouted, but Abel was already gone.Outside the VIP room, Abel turned to Jason, who was waiting in the corridor.“Keep that old fool in check and make sure he deletes all the videos,” Abel ordered.“Which video?” Jason asked in confusion.“The old fool has a video of Avery and me... making out.”Jason knitted his brows together, his expression shocked.“Don’t spare him. Crush him into pieces and ensure every copy of the video is erased.”“You can count on me,”---At the hospital, Avery had just stepped out of the operating theater and was h

Twenty minutes later, Abel arrived at the Greenville Hotel. As he walked into the restaurant, he spotted Mr. Douglas seated at the far end of the room, near the window. Without hesitation, Abel strode toward the older man and grabbed him by the neck."Mr. Copper, what are you doing?" Douglas gasped, his voice trembling.Abel ignored him and dragged him toward the VIP room upstairs. As soon as they entered, Abel shoved Douglas onto the couch."What was that nonsense you sent me earlier?" Abel demanded.Douglas was speechless. The last time he had tried his luck with Abel, things hadn't ended well. Now, he had another opportunity to make a deal, but he knew he had to resort to devious means to achieve his goal.After Abel caught him with Riana, Douglas had been certain approaching Abel again would be a death sentence. However, when his contact called a few months ago and informed him about Avery's return to Mallory Avenue, Douglas began plotting how to use her to get close to Abel. Then

Currie's heart skipped a beat. How could these children think she was hiding something from them? Last night, when she had asked Avery about the kids’ father, Avery had been hesitant to answer.And now, Aaron and Aerial thought she knew who their father was. Currie thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and said softly,"Do you want my brother to be your daddy?"Her eyes stayed fixed on the kids, searching their expressions.Aerial's eyes lit up, excitement shining in her face."Of course, I want him to be our daddy!" Aerial exclaimed. "He would protect us, right?"Aaron, calmer than his sister, nodded and asked, "Will you help us?"Sometimes, Aerial wondered how her brother managed to stay so composed no matter what.Currie hesitated briefly before offering a compromise."Why don't we go to the park first? We'll talk about this later.""Are you going to buy us ice cream?" Aerial asked eagerly."Of course, I will.""But Mom says it's not good to eat too much sugar.""I haven’t had an
