Burning desire: my ex-husband wants me back Chapter 144
Avery walked into Hector's room and stopped in her tracks, stunned.Sitting on the bed was Hector, looking handsome as ever. His strong, symmetrical features immediately drew her attention. His defined cheekbones and well-shaped jawline only enhanced his already striking appearance.But it was his ocean-blue eyes that captivated her the most. Filled with warmth and intensity, they locked onto Avery’s gaze, making her heart skip a beat.A smile tugged at his lips, radiating both charm and approachability. There was a natural charisma about him that instantly put Avery at ease.Only a few months ago, Hector had been a shadow of himself. But now, just four weeks after the surgery, he had rapidly recovered—and looked even more handsome than before.“How are you doing today?” Avery asked, focusing on her professional duties as she checked his vitals.“You can see for yourself,” Hector replied with a grin. “I’m fine.”“Glad to hear that. I can see you’re ready to go home,” she said.“I can’

“We can’t find him!” The principal’s voice trembled with fear. She couldn’t understand how this could have happened. How would she explain this to Avery? How could she hurt Clinton’s grandson?Mrs. Green, equally shaken, dropped the book she was holding onto the table. Without another word, both women rushed out of the classroom, panic overtaking them.“I’ll check outside,” Mrs. Green said, her voice tight with worry. The two women hurried through the school, searching desperately for Aaron, but after a thorough search, they found nothing. They returned to the principal’s office where Avery was anxiously waiting.Avery stood immediately when they entered.“Where is my son?” she demanded, her voice shaking.“Please, calm down,” the principal tried to reassure her. “I’m sure he’s just somewhere on the playgrounds. Mrs. Green said he ran out right after the bell rang.”“Mom, someone took Aaron in a car and drove off,” Aerial’s voice quivered with fear.Avery’s heart stopped. “What?” Sh

“The boy is safe, with me at 48 Skylar Villa.”Avery staggered backward, her back hitting the car seat as she slowly pulled the phone from her ear. Her eyes filled with tears. She still remembered that address all too well. *48 Skylar Villa*. It was Abel’s home. How did he know about Aaron?“Princess, what’s wrong with you? Who was that?” Tobias asked, concern flooding his voice.“Take me to Skylar Villa,” Avery replied urgently, her voice shaking with fear.---**Meanwhile, at Skylar Villa...**Abel glanced at the little boy, who was playing happily with his grandfather Bennett, and shrugged.Bennett, who had become nearly impossible to deal with lately, refused to return home. He had been staying with Abel for the past two days, accusing Nora of all sorts of bad behavior. Abel had no choice but to bring him to Skylar Villa.This morning, when Abel had followed Noah to his son’s school, Aaron had walked up to him, taken his hand, and called him "Daddy".Abel felt a strange electric

Aaron ran into his mother’s arms as soon as she walked into the house—the house she had left many years ago, swearing never to return.“How dare you kidnap my son?” Avery’s voice trembled with anger."Abel was stunned. Aaron was Avery's son?"Two weeks ago, he had begged Avery for a date, but she had refused him brutally. Ever since, he had tried to contact her, but she never responded.Currie, still reeling from her failed marriage, wasn’t in any condition to help him.Now, suddenly, Avery appeared at his house, revealing that Aaron was her son. Was she the one who had sent Aaron to confront him?“Avery, Aaron is your son?” Abel’s voice was filled with disbelief.“Why did you kidnap him? Don’t you know I can’t press charges?” Avery shot back, her words sharp with frustration.“Why did you leave with him? You said he wouldn’t be our Daddy anymore!” Aerial told Abel confusion and anger coloring her tone.Both Abel and Avery turned to look at the children, equally surprised.“It doesn’

Avery was about to respond when her phone rang. It was Currie, so she quickly picked it up.“Sister Nuu, please come over to our favorite cafe. I'm bored and need someone to talk to.”Avery thought this was a good opportunity to escape from Abel and said, “I’ll be right there. Give me a few minutes.” She glanced at Abel and added, “I have to go. There’s something important I need to catch up on.” Avery slipped her phone into her handbag and headed for the door before Abel could stop her.Abel regretted that Old Bennett had fallen asleep. If he'd been awake, he would have forced Avery to stay and probably pressured her into confessing the truth.Once Avery arrived home, she sent the children to their room and sat down to tell Tobias what had happened. He was so upset that he gripped the chair's arms tightly. “Abel has no shame,” he said. “Did he expect you to just admit what happened between you two?” Avery sighed. “Now that he’s seen the kids, he won’t rest until he gets a

By the time Avery reached the cafe, Currie had called her over twenty times. “Are you trying to drain my battery with all these calls?” Avery said, sinking into the chair across from Currie.“Sis Nuu, don’t blame me. My heart is broken. Axel and I were supposed to be on our honeymoon in Mexico, but he ruined everything. I don’t know what to do with myself. The coffee here isn’t strong enough. Can we go to the bar across the road and grab a drink? Just a bottle?” Avery hesitated. “Currie, I don’t have the strength to carry a drunk woman. Why don’t you go home and rest instead?” “All I’ve done at home is stare at my wedding dress and cry. I’ll just keep watching it and crying some more. I don’t know what else to do. Please, just buy the bottle. We’ll be out of there quickly.” Seeing how crushed Currie was, Avery relented. “All right, one glass, and then we leave,” she said. Avery hated drinking alone at a bar, especially without any male company. This would be the first time

“Sister Nuu!” Currie called out from behind, unaware of the tense scene unfolding. She approached with a bright smile, holding two martinis, one in each hand.Axel’s eyes narrowed as he spotted her. In a swift, vicious movement, he grabbed her by the neck, pressing the knife close to her skin. Currie’s expression shifted from joy to terror as her hands trembled, the glasses slipping from her grip and shattering on the floor. But with the loud music blaring in the bar, no one noticed the broken glass and the crowd remained absorbed in their worlds, oblivious to the danger just feet away.Axel tightened his hold, leaning close to Currie’s ear with a sickly sweet grin as if they were just two lovers sharing a secret. “Smile, darling,” he whispered. “We don’t want to draw attention, do we?”Currie’s heart raced, but she forced a terrified smile, desperate not to make things worse. Axel gave her a rough shove, guiding her toward the door, their struggle hidden under the guise of a friendl

As soon as Avery settled behind the wheel with Currie beside her, she clasped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes wide with shock.“Did I just hit Axel?” she wondered. All her life, Avery had never used force against anyone, not even in self-defense classes. But Axel had left her with no other choice. She couldn’t let him take Currie away.She glanced over at Currie, noticing her friend was visibly trembling. Avery could almost hear her heart racing.She calmly placed her hand on Currie’s.“It’s all right, Currie. He’s gone now. I’ll take you home.”“Can you take me with you, Sister Nuu? I don’t want to go back home. I’m not ready to face Grandpa and Abel.”For Currie, Abel’s house had become her refuge, a place she saw as home. She avoided mentioning her father’s house, as did many others in their circle. Even Godwin was no longer comfortable with Nora, who had changed since Riana went to jail.“Please, let me spend the night at your place,” Currie pleaded.Avery thought for a momen

"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
