Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 20
REINAThe fitting of the dresses were going well and I was almost rounding up.I had an important appointment to catch up with and that involved finding out how Ravenna got the address of my house.I was prepared and ready for her. My lawyer and my personal cop officer had been informed.The only thing stopping them from taking immediate action was that I had pleaded with them to stoop low.I needed a lot of evidence to get her. If I find enough evidence that she had been stalking me then she would rot in jail.That I was very sure of. She would rot in jail with everything in me. I would not only make her rot in jail, I would make sure the whole world knows that she is an evil person.Her reputation as a whole would be damaged. I do not care.“How is the investigation going?” I asked my personal cop via messenger.He had been the one trying to get tk the root of this matter and I knew that I owe him a lot.“Slow. But, we will get somewhere. Trust me. But, using normal psychology. This

ETHAN“Did you just call me a puppet?” I asked her and she nodded. I needed Reina back to myself and all this lady was seeing here was that I was a puppet in her hands.Of course, she would not understand what was going on because this was not about her.It was about the feelings I nurtured for Reina and how I wanted her back.“Yes. You are. You show her that you are not capable of anything. If I were her, I wouldn't have a single respect for you,” she concurred and I licked my lower lips.“You have no idea what you are talking about. If you do, you won't be saying all of these,” I responded and Ravenna pushed her way into me and sat on my lap.“What are you trying to do?” I asked with my eyes wide open. Ravenna never gives up, no matter what.That was one of the problems I still had with her. Instead of answering, her lips touched mine and she kissed me so hard not minding that I didn't reciprocate the kiss.“Can't you see?” she asked and I tried to get up from the seat that I was

REINAThe staff were more excited to see what was behind the pretty decorations than myself. At some point, I wanted to just end whatever happened and go back to work. What kind of mistake had I made by allowing the gift packages to be torn open?“Yours love, Ethan?” One of the staff asked with so much shock written all over her face. She pulled out a name tag, waving it in the face of the other staff. I could see the name "Ethan" written on the tag and I was very scared to believe that this was the person who I thought it was.“Ethan? What do you mean Ethan?” I asked, snatching the name tag away from her hand.I stared into the name tag even harder than before and almost tore it into pieces. Unfortunately for me, the name tag was not that easy to get rid of.The staff were as confused as I was but, still they all waited for me to say something to clear the air.“Let's get back to work. Let's forget all these saga and get back to work,” I told them and almost took a few steps away f

ETHANEverything became fucked up when the delivery man made a mistake with the whole delivery process.Up till now, I still wondered why it was hard for someone to obey simple instructions.Take a look at everything. It's all fucked up. The surprise, the package, the money spent on all of these all went down the drain.Out of anger, I pushed Ravenna out of my office. I hated seeing her here. She tried to get the truth out of my mouth about what I discussed on the phone but I ignored her.She was part of my problem. If she was not in the picture. All of these would have been so easy to solve.I buried my head in my palm as I began to think about my whole life. I was nothing but a fucked up being.I sprung up in deep shock from where I laid my head when I saw the door flung open.My heart skipped a beat when I saw the angry Reina standing boldly in front of my door.“Re..Re…,” I stammered. Even her full name could not fall off my lips properly.“Tell me why you did that. Tell me why yo

REINAThe whole Saga between myself and Ethan had long passed. Now, everyone has been focused on the business of the day, meeting new people and helping securing major deals.On my part, I never stopped giving the Triple A project my best. I had to go with Ethan on some business trips to discuss the concept behind our dresses before it was officially released to the public.The media houses were not left out on this. Each of the top media houses accommodated us and treated us well.Whenever I took a glance at the date and time, I discovered that my time with the Triple A project was already coming to an end but I still had to remain there until the last day.Ethan and I pretended that nothing happened between the both of us. I went with the flow even though deep down I knew that he was still up to something.Most times, I randomly come to my office and see a perfectly packaged lunch box on my table and without thinking too far, I knew it was from Ethan.I decided to stop avoiding him

REINAI noticed a thin creepy smile on Ravenna's face as she stared at me. I had gotten into her trap and she was going to do anything she wanted to do with me.“Are you asking me that question?” she asked and when I was about responding, she held her hand high.“Oh wait. You wanted to deny having a child. Didn't you?” she asked and I squeezed my laps tightly.I never knew that such a day would come when Ravenna would know such a secret that I had been trying to keep for a long time.“I never planned on denying that I had a child. It was just funny how you bounced in here, telling me that you know my secret, Ravenna. You are behaving like a child. I think I should tell you that,” I said to her and she only let out a loud laugh.“Yes. I will gladly behave like a child if it will get me anything I wanted,” she answered.My heart did not stop racing even for a second. The only thing that kept ringing inside my head was the fact that this young lady was capable of killing me if given the

REINA“What do you want from me, is it money?” I asked her but Ravenna shook her head and I wondered what she wanted.A lot was going on inside of her. I wished I could read her mind to know her next step.If I chicken out this way, it is going to be a disaster for me in this industry and in the state at large.I had a reputation to protect and I had a child to guide with all my heart. My child, Andrew, was my topmost priority and even Ravenna could not do anything to come between the both of us.“To hell with money! I do not need any of those. I do not need fame either, in case you would want to offer it. Yes, you are famous but you are not much more of a famous person yourself,” she said, flaring up.This was tougher than I had imagined. It was going to be a huge fight and I had to be prepared for it.My mind began to get to work. I was laying strategies at various corners on what I should do next if pleading with her won't work.I had to show her that I had an upper hand in this.

REINA The doors that led to my Apartment opened slowly and I saw my six year old son, Andrew give me a warm smile. “Andrew, my love…you are back from school and you are awake. I thought your nanny put you to bed,” I said to him and he rushed into my arms, hugging me tightly. I ran my fingers through his hair and smiled. He was warm and healthy. Seeing him reminded me of what transpired between myself and Revenna before I came here. My heart dropped. I needed to keep this child safe away from my arm and make sure that the secret about him doesn't come out. “I miss you, mum,” he said to me and I carried him up, ignoring the fact that he was rather weighty. “I miss you too. How was school? I can guess that you have eaten already,” I said to him with a wide smile. “School was fine. Nanny fed me.” That was the response he gave to me and I was more than satisfied. I held his hands as we walked around our mansion. It was lonely here. Just the both of us and a few maids who

EthanThe music made me feel alive and I had my head moving to every beat and insistent rhythm that I was hearing. My glass was empty again, though I could not remember finishing my drink. The red-haired woman that I saw at the club leaned against the bar beside me with her eyes sparkling in the flashing lights.I don't know why she looked at it like she was plotting something.“I'm sorry but I don't think I'm comfortable with you,” I said plainly to her. That was the truth. I was becoming so uncomfortable and my friend who brought me here was long gone. What have I gotten myself into? I asked myself but I had no answer to the question.I shrugged and decided to go with the floor, perhaps she would let me be after some time. That's the way some ladies are. I guess. “I think you are fun, young man,” she said and her voice was so soft and smooth as she teased me. She then signaled the bartender for another round of drinks for the both of us and I could not decline. The drink was

ReinaThe air still felt heavy, even in the quiet of my bedroom. The phone call with Ethan had ended hours ago and it didn't end well. I could still hear his voice echoing in my mind.I had been too harsh with him even as we were this distant. There was this exhaustion and frustration in his tone that he did not try to hide. I had pushed it all aside because of my own emotions.But now, in the silence of the night, guilt crept in on me. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone. Should I call him back? Apologize? And explain to him that I had nothing to do with Leonard. Maybe he just needed reassurance. Oh, why did I talk so rudely to him. Leonard’s name alone made my skin crawl. What he had said that time still rang in my head.“You think this is just about me flirting with you?” he had asked, leaning in too close. “It’s bigger than that. Someone sent me to you. Someone who wants to ruin Ethan. And you are the key. So, I have to get it first.”I knew that this was a very

EthanThe room was dimly lit and the heavy curtains blocked out the harsh sun that dared remind me of how far I had fallen. I was lying straight on the hotel bed, staring at the ceiling with an empty whiskey glass on the nightstand.My phone buzzed, breaking through the thick haze of self-pity that had settled over me.I was tired of living. I was feeling depressed and I didn't know how to handle myself. I ignored it at first, letting it vibrate into the mattress. Probably just work. Another email about something I could not bring myself to care about right now. But the buzzing of my phone didn’t stop. Reluctantly, I reached over and grabbed the phone, squinting at the screen.It was Carl.The name flashed brightly and I remembered the man I had met a few days after arriving in this foreign city. Carl did good to me. He was everything I was not at the moment. He was charismatic, carefree, and far too persuasive for his own good.With a groan, I swiped to answer. “What do you want

Ethan I was at the other airport where I will take a plane straight to Japan. The airport was still so loud and bustling, but I felt completely disconnected from it. People hurried past me and they all looked like they had no worries in their life. My life felt like it was stuck in an impossible loop. I sat with my suitcase at my feet, staring at the boarding pass in my hand. My flight straight to Japan was in an hour. Everything I had worked for was finally coming together, yet it still felt wrong. I picked up my phone, scrolling through the messages Reina and I had exchanged. There was nothing special about it. They were very brief, distant, and polite. Nothing like what we used to be. I stared at the screen, debating whether to text her again. I had said I would call, but I could not. Not yet. I didn’t have the words to fix this. Was I really leaving my family behind? It all felt like a dream but it was a decision I had made. My thoughts were interrupted by the

Reina I had gone back to my workaholic side as I was patiently waiting for Bruce to come up with any information about Helen. In a week's time, I was going to show her the updated design that she wanted. And for her dinner? I changed my mind from attending her dinner. I just was not feeling it. I didn't get anything from her, no text and no call. She was either cool with it or not. The day passed slowly and I was at home, working endlessly on the design. The house was very quiet without Ethan and Andrew was at school. I tried to wrap up my work for the day earlier than usual. Yet, I felt restless, like something was crawling under my skin. I stood by the kitchen sink, staring out the window. The sunlight shone aggressively on the leaves outside the house but it didn’t make me feel cheerful or any better. I thought of Ethan who had long boarded the plane to his destination, now he was flying somewhere far away. Why didn’t I stop him? My phone buzzed on the counter, pulling

EthanI have decided to leave for Japan without telling my wife and son. It would sound crazy to you, but I don’t think I can allow a woman to control me anymore. It is like I have been walking on eggshells in my own house, trying to be the perfect husband, the perfect father. I can’t breathe.I stood in the living room last night, staring at the photo of us on the wall. Reina, my forever beautiful wife, with her perfect smile, and Andrew, our son, laughing on my shoulders. A picture-perfect family, people would say. But pictures lie."Where are you going at this hour?" Reina’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, her arms crossed, suspicion dripping from her voice. We have not talked for days and now suddenly she's saying all these. Sigh a joke. "Just… clearing my head," I said, avoiding her gaze."Again?" she snapped. "You have been distant for weeks and have been refusing to speak to me just because I refused not to buy your idea about going to Japan.

I was yet to believe that all that Leonard told me was true. But, I had another thing ahead of me. I woke up early and the housekeeper dressed Andrew for school. I had to go drop him off and I didn't leave him without planting a kiss on his cheek. Ethan was out of the picture in my life now. We have refused to speak to each other and I had decided not to dwell on it. Instead, I threw myself into work. Today was about to get interesting for me. I had an important presentation for a potential client. I was nervous but as usual, I trusted myself. We started work immediately at the fashion house, preparing designs and work. “Reina, over here!” Kayla called, motioning me to her office. I hurried over, clutching my portfolio tightly. “Good morning, Kayla.” “Morning. Are you ready for the pitch?” “As ready as I will ever be.” I tried to sound confident, but my hands were clammy. Kayla placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “You have got this. The client is very picky and

Ethan It was morning so quickly and it was funny how fast the week went by. I stared blankly at the suitcase open on the bed, half-packed with clothes I was not even sure I needed. Leaving for Japan was a step I could not take lightly, and yet, I was packing. As I folded another shirt and placed it in the suitcase, my mind raced. I knew I was being selfish. I knew this decision would wreck her. But I needed this deal. For once, I had to think about the future, about what could be better for us, for Andrew. The kind of money they were offering, it wasn’t just a job; it was a chance for us to never worry again. But deep down, I knew it was not just about the money. Things had shifted between Reina and me, and I could not pretend otherwise. Japan was not just an escape for making more money. It was an escape from her, from everything that had become complicated, messy, and suffocating. She was not the same, and neither was I. I heard soft footsteps behind me. I didn’t have

Reina I stayed on the couch for what felt like hours, replaying Ethan’s words in my head. He was leaving. For Japan. For money. For his dream. And there was nothing I could do to stop him.My thoughts were a tangled mess of anger, sadness, and confusion. Part of me wanted to scream at him, to demand he choose us over that job. But another part of me was too tired, too broken. I was exhausted from trying to hold us together.I heard Ethan moving around upstairs again, the sound of him zipping up his suitcase making my heart clench. It was really happening. He was leaving and that was it. Just as I was about to get up and confront him again, my phone buzzed on the coffee table.I wiped my face with the sleeve of my sweater and reached for it, hoping it was not some random notification that would only make things worse.When I saw Leonard’s name flash on the screen, my stomach dropped.I had not spoken to Leonard since our last encounter at the mall. Ethan had been so adamant about
