Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 150
ETHANI stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, gazing out at the city skyline, feeling like a trapped animal. My mind raced with the weight of accusations, my heart heavy with frustration.How could they think I'd hurt Bruce?The news had spread like wildfire, fueling the whispers and pointed fingers. Bruce Walter, hospitalized with amnesia, and I was the prime suspect.A knot formed in my stomach as I scanned the office. Employees' hushed conversations halted as I passed, their accusing glances burning like embers.Fear and anger simmered beneath my surface, but I kept my expression neutral, refusing to give in.Only Reina knew the truth. I turned to her, my voice barely above a whisper, desperation creeping in."Reina, I swear, I didn't hurt Bruce. I'm being framed." Her eyes locked onto mine, filled with unwavering conviction, a beacon of hope."I believe you, Ethan," she said. But doubt crept in, insidious and suffocating."Everyone thinks I did it," I admitted. Sham

REINAI sat beside Ethan in his dimly lit study, surrounded by stacks of files and documents. We were digging deeper into Bruce's past, searching for answers."Ethan, I don't know how much more of this I can take," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Ethan's eyes, filled with determination, met mine. "We have to know the truth, Reina. For ourselves, for the victims."I nodded, steeling myself. "You're right."We poured over the documents, our fingers tracing the lines of text. Names, dates, and numbers blurred together.Suddenly, Ethan's finger stopped on a particular line. "Reina, look at this."My heart sank as I read the words. "Oh no...Bruce was involved with some shady organizations."Ethan's jaw clenched. "And look at the dates. This was during his rise to power."A chill ran down my spine. "He used his influence to cover his tracks."Ethan's eyes locked onto mine, filled with anger and sadness. "We were blind, Reina. We trusted him."I reached out, taking his hand. "We did

REINAI walked into Ethan's study, finding him staring at his phone."Ethan, what's wrong?" I asked.His face was pale. "I received a threatening message."My heart skipped a beat. "What does it say?"Ethan hesitated before handing me the phone."You'll pay for digging into Bruce's past."I felt a chill run down my spine."We can't back down," I said.Ethan's eyes locked onto mine. "I won't let anyone hurt you."Just then, my phone buzzed.I showed Ethan the message:"You're next."Ethan's jaw clenched. "We're going to the police."Detective James listened intently as we showed him the messages."I'll increase protection," he promised.But I couldn't shake off the fear."Ethan, what if they hurt us?" I whispered.Ethan wrapped his arms around me."I won't let that happen."That night, I lay awake, my mind racing.Ethan's hand found mine in the darkness."Reina, I'm here.""I'm scared," I admitted.Ethan pulled me close."Me too."The next morning, we received another message:"Stop i

I stepped into my dimly lit study, the scent of old books and leather enveloping me. Jack waited, his expression grave, his eyes sunken."Ethan, I've uncovered something," Jack said, his voice low and measured.I nodded, anticipation building as I settled into my chair."Go on," I urged, my eyes locked onto his.Jack hesitated, his fingers drumming against the armrest."I've been digging into Bruce's past," he began.The soft glow of the desk lamp cast shadows on his face."And?" I pressed, my voice laced with impatience.Jack's eyes locked onto mine, a deep sadness reflected within."Bruce wasn't the mastermind," he revealed.My eyes widened, shock rippling through me like a cold wave."What do you mean?" I demanded.Jack's voice dropped to a whisper."It was someone close to you."The room seemed to shrink, the air thickening."Who?" I asked.Jack's gaze held mine."Your father."The words hung in the air like a challenge.My world crashed around me, memories swirling like a maelstr

ETHANReina's piercing green eyes locked onto mine, her determination palpable."Ethan, we need to unravel the tangled threads of this conspiracy," she urged.I nodded resolutely."Alexander's hiding something, and I aim to expose him."We stood outside his opulent office, the hallway's soft glow casting long shadows.The air was heavy with anticipation.But I sensed we were being watched.The feeling crawled under my skin like a sinister whisper."Let's dig deeper," Reina said.Her voice was a gentle breeze on a summer's day.We slipped into the shadows.Our investigation led us to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.The crumbling structure loomed before us.Its rusty gates creaked in the wind.The dimly lit space reeked of decay and neglect.Cobwebs clung to the walls.Rats scurried through the darkness."What are we looking for?" Reina whispered.Her breath danced across my ear."Anything that links Alexander to my father's secrets," I replied.Our flashlights cast ee

ETHAN I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Lucy, a traitor? Unthinkable. Yet, memories of her past betrayal toward Reina flooded back. This revelation cut deeper than ever.Reina's concerned eyes locked onto mine. "We need proof," she whispered, determination fueling her words. I nodded resolutely. "We'll get it."Together, we embarked on a perilous mission to uncover the truth. Under the cover of darkness, we snuck into Lucy's hideout. Shadows danced around us like specters. Reina's hacking skills unlocked Lucy's computer, revealing incriminating evidence: emails to Bruce and Alexander, exposing the web of deceit.Reina's eyes widened in shock and outrage. "This can't be," she whispered. I felt cold fury building inside me."We have enough," Reina whispered, but I spotted a hidden folder, encrypted. "Lookie here," I muttered. Reina's eyes sparkled. "A hidden server." Excitement mixed with fear as we downloaded the files, our hearts racing with every click.We escaped into the ni

REINA I frantically scanned the deserted streets, my heart racing with every passing second. "Andrew!" I screamed, my voice echoing off the buildings. Ethan's hand clasped mine, his grip tight with reassurance. As we sprinted through the neighborhood, I felt like I was losing my mind. Every alleyway and side street seemed to stretch on forever. The chill of the evening air clung to my skin, but my fear and adrenaline numbed me to it. We turned a corner, and my gaze locked onto the playground where Andrew loved to play. The swings creaked ominously in the wind, the slide gleaming like a skeletal finger. Memories of laughter and picnics flooded my mind, and my breath caught. "Ethan," I whispered, my voice trembling. "He was here. I know it." Ethan's eyes followed mine, his expression softening. "We'll find him," he promised, his voice low and steady. I rushed toward the playground, Ethan's arm wrapping around my shoulders. Together, we searched every inch, calling Andrew's name u

REINA Ethan's arms still wrapped around me, holding me together as we sat on the couch, the silence between us heavy with unspoken fears. My mind raced with the same haunting question: who could be monstrous enough to steal my child?"Who could do this?" I whispered, my voice barely audible, the words trembling on my lips.Ethan's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed in concentration. "Victor's still a possibility," he said, his tone laced with concern.I shuddered at the mention of his name, memories of Victor's obsession with me flooding back. His fixation had nearly destroyed us before, and now...now he might have Andrew."But Lucy..." Ethan trailed off, his voice dripping with skepticism.My mind flashed back to Lucy's betrayal, her deceitful smile etched in my memory. "She's capable of this, isn't she?" I asked, my words laced with venom.Ethan's expression turned grim, his jaw clenched. "We can't rule her out," he admitted.I thought of Lucy's cunning, her ability to manipulate ot

ReinaI was wiping down the kitchen counter when the doorbell rang. Andrew was upstairs, resting after a long day of physical therapy, and Ethan had stepped out to pick up a few things from the store.It was odd for someone to come by unannounced, especially at this hour. I wiped my hands on a towel and I headed for the door to check who was there. I was so curious and at the same time cautious that I checked the security camera three times. When I opened it, my heart stopped. I thought I was dreaming or something. “Evans,” I whispered, gripping the doorframe right. He was standing there, looking exactly as I remembered him. He was quite tall, with those piercing blue eyes and well shaved beards. But seeing him now didn’t fill me with the same warmth it once did. Instead, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been splashed over me.“Reina,” he said, his voice soft but steady. “I hope I’m not intruding.”“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. He w

Ethan “Our anniversary was tomorrow?!” That was my exact reaction when I checked the calendar and I saw that I had long forgotten the date of our anniversary . An idea had come to me while sitting in the car, waiting for Reina to return from the grocery store. Our anniversary was tomorrow, and I wanted to do something special. Something that would remind her of the good times we had shared before everything got complicated.I had been racking my brain all week, trying to come up with the perfect plan. Reina deserved something meaningful, something that was not just flowers and a card. She needed to see how much she meant to me.“Okay, Ethan,” I muttered to myself as I parked in front of the house. “You will get our way around this.”The plan was simple yet heartfelt. I was planning a surprise dinner at the place where we had had our first official date before we got married. It was not the fanciest restaurant, but it held a special place in our hearts. I had reserved a private cor

Reina“I want to support you,” he said. “In everything. Just tell me how.”“I will of course. You have to write me some checks,” I responded and winked at him. I sat there, my coffee cup in hand, still warm but untouched. My mind was racing. So much had happened in the past few days. Andrew’s illness, the fear, the worry and now, with him finally waking up and starting his recovery, things were slowly returning to normal.But there was something else on my mind. It was Ethan. He had changed. In the best way possible. After everything that had happened, after all the mistakes, I hadn’t expected this. I could not help but worry about how he had been surprising me with little gestures. The breakfast in bed, sweet notes hidden in my purse or jacket pocket. He was not perfect, and neither was I, but somehow, it felt like we were slowly finding our way back to each other. We were slowly finding out long lost love. I glanced at the note I found this morning. It was simple, yet the word

Reina“Are you going to work today?” Ethan’s voice broke the silence at breakfast.I glanced up from my plate, startled by his tone. It was not the regular cold or distant tone and it was almost… soft. He had been trying to be different lately especially after Andrew's was back from the hospital and I didn’t know how to feel about it.“I’m not sure,” I replied, poking at my food. “I might work from home.”“Good,” he said. “You have been stressing yourself. You need rest.”I blinked, unsure of how to respond. This was not the Ethan who used to complain about my hours or make sarcastic remarks. I kept quiet and continued eating.When I returned to the bedroom later that morning, something caught my eye. There was a tray on the bed. I could not remember keeping any tray on my bed. I also noticed that there was a cup of tea, a bowl of fruit, and a small note on the bed. The note read:“ You have been carrying too much on yourself lately. Let me take some of the weight. Allow me.”I s

Reina POV“Do you think he’ll wake up today?” Ethan’s voice broke the stillness of the room.The room was quiet as usual and even if a pin dropped to the floor it would be heard. I glanced at Andrew, who was still lying on the hospital bed. He was looking fragile as always and the machines were still giving him the support that he needed. “I have no idea, sweetheart. I wish he could wake up today. It would be a relief. Don't you think so?”I asked and I reached out to brush a strand of hair off his forehead. “I want that to happen too. It would be a miracle.”“He has to wake up,” I said firmly, though my heart trembled with some doubts. I was uncertain about what was happening. “I can feel it. He is going to open those eyes and look at us.”Ethan sighed, leaning back in his chair. “I wish I had your faith.”I turned to him, my eyes narrowing. I was the most pessimistic person but, somehow I had a little faith in me. “You do. You are just scared to admit it.”He stared at me for a

Reina POV The hospital was lit with some fluorescent lights and I was having chills all over my body as I remained there. I was just like a patient who was admitted there. I hated hospitals. Who doesn't, by the way? By this time of the day, the hospital was quiet and the silence was not really comforting. It just kept reminding me that there was a battle Andrew had to fight alone. I didn’t think it was possible to feel this helpless. Sitting in that chair, watching my son fight for his life, knowing there was nothing I could do but wait, it was agony. Ethan was not himself. He was pacing around the room again. “You are going to create a hole in the floor if you don't stop,” I murmured to him. My voice was low and strained. He stopped mid-step, turning to look at me. “I can’t sit still,” he admitted. “Not when he’s in there, fighting for his life.” “I know how you feel Ethan. I feel the same way. ” I said, more to myself than to him. “He has to be strong so that he can com

Reina “Alive?” Sickness was cruel. No one deserves the kind of pain myself and Ethan had passed through since Andrew took I'll and was admitted in the hospital. I sat frozen by Andrew’s hospital bed, staring at his small frame covered in wires and tubes. My son, my sweet boy, was fighting a battle that I could not fight for him, and it was tearing me apart. I wish I could fight this battle for him. I wish I could step in and take all the burdens but, I can't. I can only hope. Again, the same thing the doctors have been saying was that the surgery went well but the critical hours following were crucial. I held up his tiny hand, willing him to wake up, to smile at me, to tell me everything would be okay. But he didn’t say a thing. His pale skin was all I could see and the shallow rise and fall of his chest all felt like a nightmare I could not wake up from. “Reina,” Ethan’s voice broke through the haze. He was standing at the foot of the bed, his hands buried in his pockets,

Ethan Reina looked up at me, her eyes filled with both hope and fear. “We are going to get through this, right?” I nodded, though my throat felt tight. “Of course, yes. We are together. Don't forget. ” And in that moment, I knew we had no choice but to keep fighting for Andrew, for each other, for our family. Finally, we were both with him after waiting for hours. Waiting. That was all we could do before being let in. Wait and hope. The clock on the wall seemed to move slower than usual, its ticking loud and relentless, as if mocking us. I sat in the sterile waiting room, the faint smell of antiseptic in the air. Reina was beside me, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Her knuckles were already white but she didn’t seem to notice. Her eyes stayed fixed on Andrew and I'm glad we were both seeing him. I wanted to comfort her, to tell her everything would be okay, but how could I when I didn’t even believe it myself? For hours, Andrew has been in there, fighti
Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 284
Ethan “Mr. and Mrs. Ethan,” the doctor said as he approached us in the waiting room. His voice was calm, but the tightness in his expression betrayed the gravity of the situation. “We have done everything we can to stabilize Andrew, but his condition has deteriorated. He needs surgery immediately.” The words hit me like a truck. My knees almost buckled, but I gripped the edge of the chair to prevent myself from falling. “Surgery immediately?” Reina’s voice cracked as she stood up beside me. “What kind of surgery?” “We need to address the complications caused by the infection. If we don’t operate now…” The doctor hesitated, and his eyes moved between us. “Just say it,” I barked in a sharp voice. I sounded so desperate of course, I just wanted my child to get out of this damn hospital. “If we don’t, his chances of survival are very slim.” The room spun, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Reina let out a soft, choked sob and covered her mouth with her hands. “How soon
