CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 1
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
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 2
Richard’s POVThe slap stings my cheeks, sending a wave of adrenaline down my spine.Her eyes are bright with unshed tears. 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. It's time I do what pleases me.Eve is the woman I love, not Arabel. I married Arabel because my mother insisted that I marry her. Arabel is a lovely woman, quiet and submissive. For three years since we got married, I have tried to love her. But Eve occupies the larger part of my life. I don't want to be tagged an unfaithful husband just like how my father has been tagged. This is why I am letting her go.Divorce is the best solution.“You won't?” Her scream booms into my ears, jerking back to reality
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 3
Richard's POVMy arms tremble, shaking with the willpower not to break down. I sniffle hoping it will at least grant me the strength to get the hell out of here.Forcing my head up, I use the seatbelt and ignite the car engine into action. 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. The things I want to do to Eve includes slapping her face severally till she begs me for forgiveness.The thought of her cheating all along causes me nothing but aches. To think I thought she was worth it all. She isn't.This means she had been sleeping with that traitor all along. No wonder he came back from God knows where just a few days ago. Who knows if they we
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 4
Arabella's POVFOUR YEARS LATERA painful lump blocks the flow of oxygen to my lungs as I dart my eyes around the hall, searching for Daisy.She was just here.I was too engrossed in my conversation with the Secretary of Earthbound Corporations to realize she had gone off.I shouldn't have been brought here.I shouldn't have.I know this is no time to blame myself. I need to find her. She doesn't know anyone or anywhere around. We just got to New York two nights ago and I have been so busy trying to fix things up for the launching of the partnership with Earthbound Corporations.This is the major reason why I came back to New York. In an attempt to meet up with the CEO, I decided to attend the company's third anniversary.And Daisy is nowhere to be found.“Have you seen her?” Ashley, the secretary I was speaking with before Daisy disappeared asks me.I shake my head, trying to calm my nerves and not burst into tears. The fear is back. Ever since Daisy's birth, I had always had this fe
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 5
Richard's POVRadiant in a champagne-coloured dinner gown with tiny diamonds nearly arranged around her neck region, she looked different from the woman I know.The look in her eyes.The way she spoke earlier.And the pretentious smile on her face is all enough to make me argue back and forth that this isn't Arabel but someone else.However, the anger I saw etched deep in her eyes. The way she dragged that cute little girl away while stamping her feet towards the exit was enough proof that it was indeed her.My ex-wife.The same woman I have been looking for since she left the night I suggested a divorce.I never knew she was going to take it the bad way. I thought it was a mutual feeling and agreement for us to depart as soon as Eve was back.At the thought of Eve, my chest contracts painfully as memories of her betrayal reel back in. I shut my eyes and shake it.My life hasn't remained the same. The very moment these two women left; Eve and Arabel.“Our meeting was supposed to be sc
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 6
Arabel's POVMy make-up is intentional.After exfoliating my face and body in the bathroom, I spray rose water over my face before applying my face cream and make-up.On a normal day, I would have applied light makeup but for no genuine reason, I take my time in beautifying myself today.I don't want to think about Richard or what he will feel when he sees me today but I know I want him to see what he is missing. I want him to know I am no longer the Arabel from four years ago who would nod meekly like a dove to everything she is being asked to do.I am an independent woman.The fact that he asked if I was married made me flare up in anger. Controlling my anger has become an impossible thing to do these days. I am sure he is suspecting that I am just pretending.He asked if I was married to confirm his suspicions and I also feel he asked that simply because he wanted to know if my new status and identity was as a result of my re-marriage.I really do not know why men take women who ar
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 7
Richard's POVMy curiosity had me searching for every tiniest bit of information about Bella Portillo and so far, I haven't been able to conclude if she is indeed my ex-wife or someone else.She started Eagles Home online three years ago while in the University with no employee but herself and now, she has several employees and two different branches in London and Norway.The new branch in New York would make it the third.“Mr Portillo?” The guy beside her turns to her in confusion, his anger from early on slowly dissolving.She shifts uncomfortably before grabbing his hands and flashing me one of her joyless smiles. “Good day to you too, Mr. Giodano.”I nod at her with a smile, impressed by her acting skills. Whenever she is around me, I am fully convinced she is Arabel. The clumsy side of her is still present. The way she avoids eye contact with me and the way she looks mad for a second and good another second makes it all the more plausible.Aside from that, this guy is obviously n
CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 8
Arabel's POVDampness forms beneath my arms at the question. It makes me wonder if he is seeing underneath the pretences and how many doubts he has about me being Arabel.He looks a bit upset. Perhaps upset that I am pretending to be someone else.Last time I checked, the one who was used and dumped like a piece of rag was me and I am the one who has every single right to be upset, mad, infuriated and angry.He has no right to be.I never thought I would see him again. Not after all these years when he doesn't even know he has a child with me. I was hoping it would be a secret I would keep till the very end.Just when I was healing. Just when I was getting to forget about his existence even though Daisy reminds me so much of him, he showed up.If Daisy had been a boy, he would have been a carbon copy of his father. For a second, I am grateful for that. Daisy looks more like me but she has her father's eyes and hair.Blonde hair. Blue eyes.His eyes are staring intensely into mine, the
