CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 77
Arabel's POVI open my eyes again to land them on Caleb, who is sitting opposite Ashley and me. I turn to Ashley, and she wraps a hand around my shoulder, understanding what my look means.I'm blaming myself already.What if he dies? How could I live with that, knowing full well that I forgave him but not fully? Knowing full well that I caused it?I sob. The lump of dread stuck in my throat has refused to go down.The doctors won't let us in.We were just lucky enough to see him when he was brought out of the surgery room. There were tubes all around him, and I almost collapsed at the sight.Richard was hale and hearty an hour ago. Smiling at me. Kissing me.And now he is bedridden. Unconscious.How can I possibly cope with that? What do I tell Daisy? What if she asks him? Is this a punishment for me to value him more than I currently do?I blame myself because I keep pushing him away. Forgiving him was one thing; forgetting everything was another; and giving him another chance was o

Arabel's POVIf I didn't know better, I would have believed it the moment the words rolled out of Eve's mouth.“Richard and I are married in secret. I have the evidence in case you have your doubts,” she announce confidently, making Ashley's jaws drop.But I am not moved. Nor intimidated.“What rubbish are you spewing? Richard cannot marry a wh*re like you!” Mother retorts sharply, making me think she wants to believe what she is saying.“Ouch!” Eve pretends to feel hurt by her words. “Well, he is married to that wh*re now.”Eve turns slowly and leaves our presence with the doctor, leaving us helpless. Mother curses loudly and begins to make some calls while I stand rigid.Obviously, Eve recognizes me. Eve recognizes me not just now, but also when we were in the elevator an hour ago. That leaves us with one thing: this is planned.This is all planned.The reaction from me. And Richard's determination to chase after me and explain everything to me.Perhaps she is also responsible for t
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 79
Arabel's POVFor days, I haven't moved a muscle from where I am seated, right next to Richard's bed.The more days we spend here, the less my hope diminishes, leaving me with nothing but doubts and fear.I have cried. Pleaded. Prayed. Apologized. Hoped. And I wished for nothing but for him to open his eyes, smile at me, and tell me he loves me or that he would love to kiss me again.Just anything.Anything would do.But he has been silent. Eyes closed. And unconscious.It makes me wonder just how long he is going to be this way, even though I don't stop praying for him to come out of it.“Arabel?” Someone calls, coming into the room as I look over my shoulder. It is Mother. “Why aren't you sleeping? Did you even sleep at all?”It is just the break of dawn, but I haven't slept a wink in days. Most times, I don't cheat nature, and I make up for it by sleeping during the day, but at night, my eyes are always wide open, staring at Richard and hoping for a miracle.I shake my head without
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 80
Arabel's POVMy insides have been bubbling with excitement ever since I saw his fingers move again this morning.At exactly 2, the movement of his middle fingers catched my attention. I sat on the wooden seat beside his bed, watching Eve, who was fast asleep on the sofa.There is renewed hope building up inside me. Making a smile curve up my lips. As I wait for that miracle.Ever since he moved his finger the very day Eve had Mother thrown out, I have been expecting him to wake. But he hasn't.He keeps moving almost every single day without opening his eyes.But I don't want to be pessimistic. I believe he will be awake soon. That movement is a good sign.For no reason, I am in a good mood today. The movement was longer than every other one.The moment I tried to grab the moving finger, he stopped. Yawning loudly, Eve stands up and moves close to me, making me divert my attention back to her. I see her stare at Richard for a split second before turning to me.“I'm out to get breakfas

Arabella's POVEffortlessly, the liquid leaves my bladder. With closed eyes, my heart hammers wildly within my ribcage anxiously.For no reason, I don't want to do this anymore. For a moment, I begin to think of the very step to take as soon as this is confirmed.Should I still go ahead with it? Ignorance, they say, is bliss. What if he doesn't want a child now?Realizing I have been staring at my urine for more than a minute, I summon up enough courage as I grab the container and dip the absorbent tip of the PT test strip before counting from 1 to 10 and then recapping it.With trembling hands, I place the strip on the flat counter while fidgeting with my hands and watching the timer on my phone.In five minutes, I would know my fate. In five minutes, I would have to choose.In five minutes, I would have to know whether to see him tonight or not.In five minutes, my world would either change or remain the same.I shut my eyes, clamp my hands together and stamp my feet impatiently o

Tears that she is struggling to keep away which makes me wonder what she stands to gain from this.“You…”, she grits her teeth, struggling to let it all out. “You have no idea what you are doing, Richard. Go beg her!”She turns back to move out but my voice stops her.“No, mother. I won't.”The determination in my voice is strong. I am done doing what pleases her.

I noticed my hands are still trembling.For a second, I consider calling a cab to come pick me up instead of driving so I won't end up driving into a pole as a result of this shock but I can't wait here.I drive out immediately.The more seconds I spend here the more risk. I might end up doing something rash like storming back into that apartment and breaking Jake's jaws.Not only that.
