Burning desire: my ex-husband wants me back Chapter 100
Abel woke up late in the morning and strode to his study. He saw the majestic treasure chest on top of the table where he dropped it last night. He stared at the box for a while and opened it. He recalled being asked what he wanted to be written inside the chest by the royal designer. The first name that came into his mind was Nicole, however he didn’t come all the way to England to get a gift for his low life wife, but for Riana, still he couldn’t bring himself to inscribe Riana’s name in the golden chest so he wrote his name instead.Thinking of it now, Abel realized why he was skeptical about it. He ran his hands over the Treasure Chest and opened his drawer. Inside the drawer was the wedding gift Avery bought the day after their wedding. He took the rings and stared at his name beautifully engraved on the smaller one, which was meant for Avery and her name on the bigger ring that was meant for him.“I will not only wear your name on my finger, Avery, but will always wear it in m

“Good morning Mr Copper, what brought you here? You can easily send me a message and your needs will be met. It’s an honor to have you in my humble office.” Wyatt extended his hands, Abel took it in hands shake. Wyatt was known for his incredible personality, which makes him stand out besides his powerful design skills.“It’s no stress at all, besides I need to meet you personally for this”“Please sit”Both men settled down and Abel dropped the treasure chest on the table.“Isn’t this the beauty you brought from England?” Wyatt asked, feeling the box with his hands.“I bought it at the AE auction house the previous day and I want you to make it look different”“What does Abel mean by he bought it at the AE auction house the previous day?” Jason thought. He was not aware of what happened at the auction house because he had an emergency and couldn’t attend.Wyatt already heard the news, but could only pretend. Though he wasn’t at the auction, his assistant who represented him told hi

“I’m still married to Nicole, Riana, but don’t worry, as soon as we settle down together, you will have me all for yourself,” Abel had said and refused to make love to Riana despite how hard she tried. When Abel became adamant, Riana sought for abortion, but the doctor warned her against it.“You have aborted several times, and doing another one will risk your life. I suggest you have the baby. He may be the only child you would have in this life”Riana found herself at a crossroads. She went back home and explained everything to Elizabeth. But Elizabeth wouldn’t hear of such. She got furious and yelled out in anger.“You can’t have the baby in this house. It will ruin everything. What about Abel? Do you want to provoke him with this kind of news? You must abort this baby period,” Elizabeth said.Elizabeth was annoyed. How could Riana ruin everything for their family because of her foolishness?“Mother, I can’t do that. My life will be in great danger if I try aborting the baby. Plea

“Oh my poor child, I know you will come back. Peter, don’t make Riana angry, no matter what. She is still our baby. Come here dear, let me find you something to eat,” Elizabeth said.She put her hands lightly on Riana’s shoulder, but Riana shoved her away.Riana was so tightly wrapped in her misery and dark thoughts that she was blind to everything else, especially the two people who were once her parents.“Ahh Riana, you have not changed at all. Why are you so hot-tempered? See what you did to your mother,” Peter said and helped Elizabeth, who was about to fall.Riana ignored him and put the item in her hand on the table, then uncovered it. As soon as Elizabeth saw the box, she panicked. She never knew that Riana would discover her treacherous act so soon. How did she discover that what she kept in the safe was fake?“What is the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Riana asked, her face cold and deadly. Chills ran down Elizabeth’s spine as he watched the box on the table.“I..mm. It.. you

Riana sat on her bed, scrolling through her phone, the glow illuminating her face in the dim room. She stumbled upon a video message which she was too busy to open the previous day.After she dumped Elizabeth and her husband last night, she went back to Megan’s mansion and took every valuable item she could lay her hands on. She must save her son at all costs even if it means stealing from the Meghan’s.Curiosity got the better of her. As she pressed the play button, Riana’s heart sank as the footage captured a moment she had buried deep in her memory.The image of herself with Mr Douglas in his luxurious hotel room was displayed before her eyes. She was entertaining the old man, with his boys watching, their eyes filled with lust as they awaited their turn.She watched the ugly man playing with her torso like a child would play with his toy.Mr. Douglas and his men filled with laughter and their faces carefree as they mocked her pitiable self.Riana’s breath hitched. She hadn’t thou

At 10: 50 pm, the next day, Riana stood on the front porch of Mr Douglas’ home.Mr Douglas was living alone in his luxurious house. It was rumored that his wife and kids abandoned him and went to the UK.According to the rumor, Mr Douglas has been living alone for the past twelve years. He buried himself with work just to forget his sorrows. After his wife left him, Douglas avoided women and never considered them. His small and ugly nature contributed as well.However, his encounter with Riana that night at Blue Diamond rekindles his desire for women. He can’t stop thinking about Riana after that night. So he had to blackmail her into coming over to his house. He knew Riana would not come if he invited her over without using a force.Riana pressed the bell and waited. Within a few seconds, a butler came out and answered the door.“Evening Ms, Meghan. Mr Douglas is waiting for you in his room,” the butler said and led Riana into the Luxurious living room, then headed to the stairs. R

“I was at the business meeting and I wanted to collaborate with Mr Copper. When Mr. Copper went up to his room, I followed him. Unfortunately, he was drunk and couldn’t keep a comprehensive conversation, so I left him alone, but when I came to the hallway, I saw Ms. Clinton banging into his room. I was curious and wanted to know what was going on between them. So I went closer to the room. I saw Abel and Avery making out. When I heard she was pregnant, I followed her up and discovered she was pregnant for Abel." Douglas said.Riana was shaking. She was in a terrible mess. Avery was carrying Abel’s child, and she didn’t know about this until now. And the CCTV, how did she not find anything during that time.? Could it be that Abel deleted the video and pretended like she was the one who slept with him? And she played along and acted like a fool.Now she understood why she couldn’t find anything through the CCTV and Abel insisted he slept with her, so it was Avery all along. She inten

Douglas was thrilled. This younger generation must be crazy. They always find something new against the old pattern of life. Unlike his wife, who rarely mentioned or took the lead in sexual matters, Riana not only derives pleasure from sex, but she also expresses a desire to be the one in charge. Well, he would be thrilled to witness how this operates, and therefore, he responded.“You have me to yourself Riana, do with me as you please” Riana smiled.She took Douglas’ hands and tied him up with her rope. Once she had secured the end, she used another cloth and tied up Douglas’ mouth before removing the one in his eye.Douglas was stunned to see Riana all dressed up and with manic laughter on her face.“You want to blackmail me into sleeping with you? How foolish of you to think so. Do you think I would agree to that after what you made me suffer? Because of you, my fiance broke up with me and my family rejected me. Right now, my son’s life is in great danger. It’s all because of y

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

Chapter 155Currie'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 h

“Is that so, Grandpa? Did you truly make things difficult for Elijah? Don’t be difficult, old boy.” Currie patted Bennett’s back.“Don’t you want to play with your grandson instead? Come on, Grandpa, stop crying; let’s go and play.” Aaron pulled Bennett out of the chair, gently leading him toward his room upstairs.“He doesn’t want to play with me,” Aerial mumbled.Currie smiled warmly. “Come on, Aerial. He loves you and wants to play with you, too. Let’s go to the kitchen, I’m sure Elijah has something to lighten your mood,” she said, guiding Aerial to the kitchen.As they walked away, Currie couldn’t help but wonder How these kids even knew about Old Bennett.****Inside Bennett’s room, Aaron pulled a picture out of his pocket and handed it to the old man. Bennett’s face lit up with joy. He hugged the picture close to his chest, held it up, and kissed it.“Where did you find my granddaughter-in-law?” he asked, his voice filled with emotion.“Do you know my mom?” Aaron asked, confus

“Don’t worry about the kids, Avery; I can take care of them,” Currie said the next morning after Avery received an emergency call from the hospital.Avery glanced at Currie, her expression softening as she touched her shoulder tenderly.“I didn’t know I would be needed at the hospital today. I don’t usually work on weekends.”“It’s all right. Besides, I needed the distraction.”“Thank you so much, Currie. I’m grateful. Please, if they bother you, don’t hesitate to call me.”“Focus on your work. We’ll be fine.”Avery smiled, hugged Currie, and headed for the door.“Avery!” Currie called just as she was about to leave.“Yes?”“Can I take the kids to the park?”“Sure, that would be great. I’m sure they’ll love it. Thank you so much, Currie.”“It’s nothing. Have a nice day.”Avery smiled again and left the house.As she got into her car, Avery couldn’t help but reflect on her current situation. She knew she needed to find a nanny fast. Balancing her job and raising the kids on her own was

“Sister Nuu, were you pregnant for my brother before both of you divorced?” Currie asked, her voice curious yet cautious.Avery smiled nonchalantly and waved Currie away.“How can that be possible, Currie? Your brother divorced me the same day I was released. Could he have possibly impregnated me in prison?”Avery appeared calm and unfazed as she continued.“When I was married to your brother, had he ever considered me his wife? He wouldn’t even let me sleep on the same bed with him or stay in his room. So, tell me, do you think such a man would ever stand to see me naked, let alone father my children? Besides, he never stepped foot in my room.”Currie was shocked. She knew things weren’t going well between Avery and her brother, but she had never imagined it was this bad.What was wrong with Abel? How couldn’t he see Avery’s impeccable beauty? Why wouldn’t he appreciate her gorgeous body? Even as a woman, Currie saw Avery as an incredibly attractive person. She had watched other men

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

“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

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
