Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 25
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

ETHAN My eyes had followed her as she walked to her car. Reina was already out of sight and I had to go back to my office.I loved her. She made me feel different and she altered my sense of reasoning.I glanced at my phone, thinking of only her. She said she was going to get back to me if she was in for the hangout, I really hope she does.She never wanted to have anything to do with me. I promise that I will change that perspective after this date.Well, she does not like hearing that. But, that's what I see it as.“You have tried countless times and failed, why do you think this is going to be different?” I heard a voice ask.That was just my inner thought doing its work. It was showing me various ways in which I could see this.I was already hopeless. More of like a hopeless romantic. He was not wrong. I had tried and I had failed. But, will I stop and give up just because I have failed countless times?No!I went back to my office, still staring at the clock. I didn't want to wo

ETHANWhat came over her? Why did she change her mind?Those were the questions running through my mind as Reina's text came in. I kept on staring at it countless times because it was still unbelievable.“This has to be a dream! A fucking dream!” I exclaimed.My joy had suddenly become full. I could not wait to start preparing for the date like I always call it.I wanted to be with Reina on this day and give her all my best.I took off my clothes, fantasizing about everything that was going to happen on that day.I heard a knock on my hotel room door and out of excitement, I told the person to come in. To my surprise, it was the waiter who was assigned to my room. He came in with the food for the day and placed it on the table in front of me.“Your food sir,” he said and I nodded. I was famished already but the news that I got made me too excited to eat.“Thank you.”With that, he left the room. I was alone once again and took off the lid of the plate to see what was in it.On one p

REINAI wished I could spend this night with my boy in my suite because my child needed all the comfort that he could get after his crazy day at school.They called his mother a hoe. I knew that whichever way, he was never going to forget what had happened. His mother is about to make a terrible decision. Going out this late to see Ethan. The man who she has long decided not to have anything to do with.“Please take care of him. I will be back later tonight,” I informed the nanny who nodded to my request.This nanny has been with us since my child was born. She has been a good one and I won't stop rewarding her for the good job she has done for me. “You know I always do my best, ma. I will take care of him. He is asleep now and he has done all his assignments,” she answered and I was impressed.“I always trust you to always do a good job with my son. There is one thing I will keep stressing and that is security. Please, make sure that everywhere is locked. Do not allow him to roam a

ETHANReina acting nice to me was the last thing that I expected. What I expected from her was her usual self. Uptight, refusing to talk to me and all. But, surprisingly she proved me wrong.“Thank you, Rei. If you care for it. I can place an order for you. Trust me, it's very expensive but it's definitely worth it and it gives you all the attention that you need,” I said to her.I was afraid that I talked too much. I expected to see her countenance change when I talked about placing an order for the perfume for her but, still nothing.She flashed her white sets of teeth in front of me. That alone showed that she was fine with everything.It was still too good to be true. Someone must have bribed her for me on my behalf. Where was all this niceness coming from all of a sudden?“I would appreciate it,” she said.She made everything look so easy for me and my heart melted just by staring at her.I didn't lie. The woman in front of me was beyond stunning. Her smile was perfect and I wou

REINAI would have been more mean if I wanted to but I decided not to. Following Ethan up was not that hard to do. I just had to remain calm so that he could get the impression that I was not angry at him anymore.To him, I was a changed divorced woman who would see any man and try to be in his good books.I bet Ravenna would be somewhere plotting something against me again. Well, her cup was going to get filled up soon. It was just a matter of time.We had some mini chats and everything that Ethan brought about was heading towards a relationship.“Is that why you called me out here, Ethan? To start a relationship with you? When you are married? Have you forgotten that we are divorced and I can't go back to my vomit,” I blurted out in anger.Whatever he was trying to do was not going to work. Not this time around.I was more than disgusted that he brought me out at night to say such nonsense to my face.I had never felt this insulted in my life.“I know we are divorced, Reina. I can

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
