Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Back Home
~Isabelle~The world from the skies, although a little dark but dimly lit because of the lights just seemed to soothe me as I watched from the plane, even though it was very dark.I still did not know how I feel about getting back home almost immediately, but then again, I wasn’t going alone, so the presence of Jason made it less worrisome.“I thought you would be sleeping resting,” Jason said, his voice cutting through my quiet and calm thoughts when he opened his eyes.“I can’t sleep,” I told Jason.Since I gave up my family and married Victor, I hadn’t flown on a plain, because Victor hardly took me anywhere. In fact, he always left me in the house while he traveled and toured round, and it never really bothered me, because the only thing I ever wanted was for him to love and adore me…but then again, even that was a vain desire, because he never did. Anyway, I did not bother giving Jason that information.“You still haven’t told me everything that transpired between you and him tha

~Victor~I still could not believe that Sasha was saying the truth about Isabelle being gone, because no matter how I pushed, she refused to tell me exactly where Isabelle had gone to.It took every ounce of self-control in me not to barge into her house forcefully last night to look around the house myself. As early as possible, I arrived at my lawyer’s office, Barrister Joe.“You sounded so urgent when you called for a meeting this morning,” he said. “What is the matter?” he asked me.“I don’t want the divorce anymore,” I blurted out.He seemed confused for a few seconds. “What divorce are we talking about?” Barrister Joe asked me.“Signing the divorce papers was done under duress on my part, and I want it revisited,” I stated firmly.“Mr. Walters, you sat in that courtroom and willingly signed the divorce papers,” Barrister Joe reminded me.He looked at me as though I was insane, and he was right, but then again, I had every right to make demands, because the divorce was not even

~Isabelle~The sound of my phone woke up me, and when I checked, I realized that I had actually slept way into the morning, because it was almost noon. It was Sasha calling, and so with a smile on my face, I picked up the call.“Hey girl,” Sasha greeted in her usual fancy as soon as the call connected. “Were you sleeping?” She asked almost immediately and I giggled.That was the thing with Sasha; she always knew what was happening around me or with me without even being physically present. “I was,” I admitted to her.“Hmm, someone seemed to have settled in quite well, because the last time I checked, you were skeptical about going,” Sasha teased.“Well, we got in late last night and I haven’t seen anyone yet, including my dad. So it is just Jason for now. Maybe I should go downstairs and get familiar with everyone and things around here again,” I said, but I still did not move a muscle.“That does not sound bad at all,” Sasha said.“Were you missing me so badly that you had to call?

~Isabelle~“What?!” I yelled in shock.“What is it?” Jason asked immediately, instantly worried. He moved closer to me when I wasn’t saying anything and scanned through the paper I just read and his faced contorted in anger instantly.“Your divorce is being readdressed?” Jason asked, even though he had clearly read it there.I could not even blame him, because I am stunned at it myself. “But why? I thought you both clearly signed the divorce papers in the courtroom yesterday,” Jason asked, expressing his concern.“I am certain we did,” I told Jason when I was eventually able to get my head out of the shock.I began to pace about the room angrily. This was just yesterday and today I was getting the summon for the divorce to be readdressed? As far as I could remember, I ensured that I stated that I wanted nothing from Victor and his family, because I wanted to just leave the marriage and be done with it, and it still wasn’t enough?“Then what is this about?” Jason asked.“I don’t know!

~Isabelle~“Gosh no!” I said again as I buried my head in my palms and sobbed.I could not believe that this was happening to me. Just when I thought that I had successfully gotten away from Victor and his callous family, and that I was going to begin my life afresh with my family, and my baby on the way…“What is the conclusion?” Jason asked, deeply worried for me, but then again, he allowed me sob sadly.After I was done sobbing, I cleaned my wet cheeks, but my eyes were puffy and red from the tears, and when I raised my head and looked at Jason, I saw worry and anger in his eyes.“The divorce is getting readdressed,” I said as though it was the first time I was saying the word.Of course, Jason already knew this, but I was so confused, angry, and dejected that I did not even know what to say.“I know that, Isabelle,” Jason said. “What is the conclusion with Barrister Andrew? Can he sort it out himself?” He asked.I shook my head regrettably. “He cannot, Jason. I have to travel back

~Isabelle~“Excuse me?” I asked the moment I got out of my shock.“You are under arrest for abduction of personal property,” the police officer repeated.“I think there has been a mistake,” I said as my eyes went to Sara who stuck out her tongue at me.He turned to Sara who quickly maintained a straight face and asked, “This is the woman you reported to us, right?”“Yes, she is,” Sara answered.“How on earth did I steal from you?” I asked, glaring at Sara.She was pulling another stunt. The first one was at a party, making Victor and his family to attack me profusely, and now this? How did I even run into Sara of all people? “Here…” Sara said as she pointed close to the seat I just got up from.We all turned to look, but I was shocked to see her bracelet lying on the chair, right next to where I stood up from. How did that get there? When did Sara put that there? Because I knew for a fact that when I sat on this chair, it was completely vacant. I began to wonder how she might have ac

~Victor~I arrived at the court with Barrister Joe about fifteen minutes earlier, and it was an intentional act. I looked around, and I just knew that Isabelle hadn’t arrived yet. Due to the nature of the divorce, a judge had been involved, which even made it a more serious issue.“What happens if Isabelle is late or doesn’t show up at all?” I asked Barrister Joe.“Like I already told you, the divorce will be revoked,” Barrister Joe responded, and I could not help the smile that formed on my lips. Barrister Joe looked at me confused and skeptically. “I thought you also wanted the divorce,” he asked.“It is no longer about who wanted what, Barrister Joe,” I answered vaguely. “Let’s go in,” I added and began to walk into the court without waiting to check whether Barrister Joe was following or not.When we arrived in the same courtroom that we had used, we met Isabelle’s lawyer already waiting. This courtroom reminded me of the divorce as though it happened a minute ago, and worse, it re

~Isabelle~It was a miracle that I had made it to the courtroom in time. My single question to Sara had made her realize that pushing to get me arrested would prevent her from living her dream of happily-ever-after with Victor Walters, so she had been willing to tell the officers that there seemed to be a mix up, and they had let me go just in time for Sasha’s arrival to the station.“What happened?” Sasha had asked when I entered her car and she began to drive me to the court.“I am going to give you all the gist later, but I need you to drive as fast as you can, because I cannot be late to the courtroom,” I had answered instead.“Uh, I am not about to let you push me into getting pulled over by the cops for over-speed,” Sasha had said with a chuckle, even though she understood that I needed to get to the courtroom as fast as possible.“You are right though; if we get pulled over for speed, I would end up missing the court hearing all together,” I had admitted.“How are you and the b

Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Secret Protection
~Victor~I felt like a complete zombie as I drove out of Sasha’s neighborhood. Things with Isabelle had gotten worse than I had anticipated, and that was way different from what I had hoped would happen. At the same time, I was more than grateful that I had followed my instincts, because the thought of what might have happened to Isabelle sent shivers down my spine.My heart and face hardened as I thought of Mr. Hedge.I knew he was a dangerous man, but I never anticipated that he would that dangerous enough to try to kill Isabelle simply because she seemed to be standing in the way of me and Sara. I was getting close to the house, and I knew that if I wanted to do anything, I would have to do it before I got there, so I took my phone and dialed the number of a senior cop whom I had once made his acquaintance a while back.Thankfully, he picked on the first ring. “Mr. Victor, it is such a delight to be getting a call from you,” he said cheerful the moment the call connected.Upon hea
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Someone Tried To Kill Me
~Isabelle~I squeezed my eyes in pain as Victor left. I did not even bother keeping my ears alert to be certain that he had left the apartment, even though he now scared the hell out of me; I was too broken and my heart was too pained to even listen to anything else.I continued to close my eyes tightly, because I was trying every means possible not to cry; that was exactly how I was feeling deep inside. It was bad enough that Victor had hurt me in more ways than one since I filed for a divorce, and if he had simply let me go, I would not even have seen or known about any of this.Was this why he pushed for the divorce to be readdressed; so that he could drag me back to Seagate City and torment the heck out of me?What was the story behind this attack? It was obvious now that Victor either knew something or was even involved, and I could not even explain how that made me feel. I would never do anything to hurt or harm Victor or even any member of his family even though I deeply hated
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Hurtful Lies
~Isabelle~I wondered why I hadn’t even thought of that to begin it. Usually, in situations like this, after knocking him down, Victor would have been concerned about holding the attacker down and instantly calling the cops so that he would be arrested, and whoever sent him would be known as well, because I had no doubt that someone must have sent him to me.First of all, Sasha had lived in this very apartment for more than four years, and there had never been a break-in; not in her apartment or any of the other apartments situated in the neighborhood, and secondly, he waited until Sasha had left the house before breaking-in to attack me. It was very obvious that he did not come to steal or rob us; he intentionally came to kill me.The thought of it even made me shiver.“Can you answer that?” I asked when Victor kept mute.I caught a flicker of guilt in his eyes before it was quickly replaced by regret and sadness, and it made me even more uncomfortable? Did Victor have anything to do
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Voiced Emotions
~Isabelle~I heard a loud thud as I closed my eyes, which even made me confused, because I had been dreadfully anticipating a painful slit over my throat, or a piercing stab to my stomach, but the thud came as a shock, and more confusing was the fact that I did not feel any pain.Then I opened my eyes.“Isabelle, are you okay?” Victor asked.I hadn’t known when Victor entered into the apartment or when he even did, and although I was surprised and still confused, I was more than relieved. I looked down and saw the man writhing on the floor, but almost immediately, he struggled to his feet and scampered out of the apartment without anyone of us chasing after him.“Isabelle, breathe…” Victor was saying when I continued to look dazed and confused.I tried to breathe, but I had held my breath for too long that it had become stuck, and so I didn’t even know when I slid into unconsciousness. I felt myself being carried in the air and laid gently, but I just couldn’t open my eyes or protest
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Death Threat
~Isabelle~After taking a hot bath with the words of the doctor stuck in my head about the condition of my pregnancy, I came out of my bedroom.Since Sasha stalked off angrily, she hadn’t come out of her bedroom. Even when I made dinner and had a fill to my satisfaction, she did not show up, which indicated that she was very pissed off, but then again, this wasn’t her decision to make.I meant it when I said that neither Victor nor any of his family members would know anything about this pregnancy. The only persons that knew were Sasha and Jason, and I already made them promise to keep it a secret. Every time I got pregnant, Victor never wasted time to announce it with glee to his family, except the last one before this one anyway, and so now, I just wanted to carry this baby in secrecy.Then there was also Laura Walters who would not mind killing me if she ever found out just so that I would not in any way be connected to her precious little family anymore.I thought of going to Sash
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now A Different Plan In Mind
~Victor~The choice my mum gave me was a crucial one, and with the fiery look in her eyes, I knew that she was dead serious. If I didn’t know her, I might have thought that this was just a mere choice, but there was no way I was going to get out of this.“Which is it going to be, Victor; your family or that woman?” Laura asked as she tilted her head, waiting for a response.My eyes went to the gigantic expensive and customized clock on our wall, and I was again reminded that time was ticking by really fast, and that if I didn’t do something, Mr. Hedge was going to get to Isabelle, and I would live the rest of my life in regret. I could have decided to call Isabelle right now and send a warning to her, probably ask her to leave Sasha’s apartment for now, but then again, there was no way I could achieve that while standing right in front of my mum, and more importantly, Isabelle was too upset with me that she would not even take my calls or read my texts.I inhaled and exhaled, knowing
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Make A Choice
~Victor~The thought of anything happening to Isabelle almost made me go insane, and I just knew that I had to do something. Running out of the house like a cat on a wild chase was crazy, but I could not think of something else. First of all, I wanted Isabelle back, and secondly, I would never forgive myself if anything happened to Isabelle because of me.I got into my car; there was no need for any driver or bodyguard, and I drove towards the gate, but to my utmost surprise and anger, the gate refused to open up for me, which was strange.“What is going on?” I asked as I came down from the car and proceeded towards gate.The security guard was standing by the gate, erect with a serious look on his face. Although it was an expensive gate, I had expected an excuse to the gate not opening that it was having some sort of fault.“What the heck is going on?” I asked. “I am hurrying out and you are just standing there,” I said, getting increasingly upset.“Mrs. Laura has instructed me not t
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Save Her!
~Victor~This was the most difficult question I have ever had to answer in my entire life, and I just wished that things weren’t so hard and tight.The warning and dread that came with that question, although unspoken, was a clear message of what I would suffer, along with my family, if my answer was negative. Mr. Hedger would have my head on a platter, and just like he had said, he would make my company go away and never get back up again.I was conflicted and devastated.I wished that I had been more prepared before being crowned the CEO and handed the company to run, but then again, things had happened so fast in my family that I had had to step in. Right after high school and university, I had gone to one of the biggest business schools in the world to continue my education and prepare myself for the company’s takeover. According to my dad, he had wanted me to be perfectly ready to become the CEO.“I think you should start showing him the ropes of the company, Walters. He is no lo
Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now A Difficult Question
~Victor~“How could I have made that stupid mistake? How could I have been that foolish?” I asked myself as I paced about my bedroom, confused.Actually, if I was being honest, I think I knew exactly why I had made the mistake of saying Isabelle’s name instead of Sara’s; it was Isabelle that I was thinking about deep down, otherwise, who mentions another woman’s name when proposing?I felt like knocking myself in the head, but then again, the only regret I had from all of this was the huge contract that I caused my company to lose. I never wanted that bloody proposal anyway, and it had all been Sara’s idea. If she had accepted, we would have been discussing wedding dates and venues and dresses by now, and it would have driven me insane.The only woman I wanted in my life right now was Isabelle, and no one else.Then my phone rang, and much to my dismay, I saw that it was Mr. Hedger, Sara’s father. I didn’t know what to expect of the call, and his call was not something that should not
