Bye Bye Mr. Ex, I’m With Mr. Next Now Rough Turn Of Event
~Isabelle~As I recalled what happened, I cried even deeper, and still, the cab driver said nothing at all, which I was really grateful for.I hadn’t realized that Victor’s family had hated me that much that they all turned deaf ears to my cries for help that night. I could have died, and they had never shown me love and care any single day.At the hospital the next morning when I had been able to get to the hospital, the doctor had pronounced the baby gone and declared that a miscarriage had happened. I had cried profusely in his office.“But how did that happen?” I had asked the doctor, confused. “You declared me fit the last time I was here for checkup. You said that the baby was growing just fine,” I had said, completely shattered.Those words were true, because Victor had insisted that I registered for antenatal even though the pregnancy was just a couple of weeks, and I never missed any of my appointments.“I followed every instruction you gave on how to stay healthy. I ate only

~Victor~“What did you do, Victor?!” My mum yelled as soon as I got into the house.“I am not in the mood for this, please,” I said angrily. It was bad enough that I had humiliated myself in front of everyone; the video of me kneeling and proposing to Sara and receiving a slap from her had spread wider than any news than I had ever seen. In less than three hours, millions of people from all over the entire country had seen the muted video, but then again, I had gotten fully rejected by the company I had wanted to get the contract from. Apparently, Sara’s father, Mr. Hedge had called them to tell them that not only had I made his daughter sad, I had made her cry, and they had called my company to terminate every possible contract that they might even have with us aside from this one even before I had gotten to the company.“Mr. Victor Walters, we know that you are the CEO of this company, and as such, you have the final say regarding everything, but we are very disappointed at you. Yo

~Isabelle~By the time I returned from my visit to Barrister Andrew, I was already feeling better than I was when I was going there. I was still sad, but I was no longer destabilized and devastated. It was obvious now that I never meant anything to Victor, and I had come to accept that fact. I just couldn’t fathom why he had sent those flowers after the court case.I decided to stop and get a drink at a café, because recently, I had been having some cravings, and I knew that it was because of the pregnancy. I picked a cozy and private corner that would keep me away from the eyes of other patrons, and besides, I just wanted to relax my mind, satisfy my craving, and be on my way.As soon as my order came, I became relieved and proceeded to dive in.“Look who we have here,” a familiar voice said.I raised my head and discovered that it was Mona. Of course, it would be her; the voice was unpleasantly familiar, and standing beside her was Phoebe, her younger sister. Mona never liked me fr

~Isabelle~After that, I walked out on Mona and Phoebe and walked out of the café.The moment I got out, before flagging down a cab, I immediately called Barrister Andrew, because I did not want to let this one loose. I could not appreciate Sasha enough for putting this idea in me. Victor wanted to frustrate me into turning the whole divorce thing around, but thankfully, his hateful and scornful mother and sisters are unknowingly making it difficult for him and easy for me.I literally could not wait for the next court hearing which was just a few days away!“Isabelle, is everything okay?” Barrister Andrew asked over the phone.I didn’t even know that the call had connected, because I was busy with the thoughts of what the incident that just unfolded inside the café was going to do for me. Suddenly, I felt happy and hopeful, because this time around, Victor’s influence and power would not even be able stand in my way.“Yes, but I have another case to file,” I answered, a grin on my fa

~Isabelle~“Then please drive me to the nearest hospital,” I told the driver without wasting time.Even talking now was difficult for me as my teeth had come together as a result of the cold. It was as though I had been dipped into a snow river and left to drown there.“I don’t want to lose my baby. Gosh, I can’t afford to lose this pregnancy,” I said internally since I could not say the words out loud anymore.I shook profusely at the backseat, and I could see the fear and horror in the driver’s eyes as he drove fast and at the same time, trying not to over-speed.“Ma’am, are you okay?” He asked frantically.I was able to shake my head, because I could not say another word. My teeth were clattering together, my face had gone completely white, my whole body shook furiously; internally and externally, and the feeling I was having in my stomach was intensifying.The driver instantly parked the car frightfully.“I can’t have you die in my cab. I am calling an ambulance,” he said as he be

~Isabelle~Sasha and I entered her apartment, and I felt better than I was; if I hadn’t, the doctor would not have discharged me anyway.Gently, I sat on the couch and rested my head. I noticed that Sasha had been unusually quiet the entire drive back to her apartment, but I said nothing, because I was also feeling very tired; not sick, just tired, and I guessed it was the effect of the medications I received from the hospital. Then my hands went to my stomach and I rubbed it gently as a small smile appeared on my face. The words of the doctor had saved me from the worst heartbreak that could have happened to me.“Your baby is fine and intact, Miss Isabelle,” the doctor announced, even though the expression on his face did not seem as though he had just passed a good news across.“Thank goodness!” Sasha had exclaimed with both glee and relief.Meanwhile, I was too emotional to say a word. No one knew how dreadful I had been as I waited for the report of the doctor regarding a pregnan

~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

~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

~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
