Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 46
ETHANI could count so many times my heart has been shattered by this young lady. Yes, I allowed her to meet the man who texted her. Out of curiosity, I hid behind a pillar and watched as they exchanged pleasantries.She was so joyful around him. The smile on her face was something that she had refused to stop showing me.Now, that project is over. Her stay here has expired and still I was not able to get her back to myself.“I'm a failure. I can't be told otherwise,” I said, biting my lips. Reina was nothing but a woman who thinks I’m here to hurt her. She loves being awfully mouthy to me and keeps on releasing the energy.I watched as he asked her out for dinner and could not stay any longer for my heart to be shattered beyond this.I knew she was going to agree to go with him. I had to leave and give her space. I will not give up on her and there will be signs that I love her and want her to myself.She will see those signs. Walking away from where I hid, I had decided that at

ETHANThat was absurd.I could swear with my life that it was really absurd. “Excuse me?” I asked her. I was about to tell her to explain further what she meant by what she said.That statement made me so uncomfortable that my body began to inch me to get the truth out of her.“I knew it. You know nothing. That's why she is able to use you this way, making you forget that you have a fucking wife who needs your love,” she said.“Can you just go straight to the point?” I asked her.“Reina is hiding something from you. You have to trust every word that comes out of my mouth. I do not know why you find it hard to believe what I say but you will believe everything she says.”“That's not the truth. I try my best to see the truth in everything anyone says. You can't blame me that much, I am a human.”“You try? And everytime, I am the one telling lies? Is that what you are saying?” She asked.I didn't have the answer to her question. “I really want you to tell me everything you know. That'

ETHANThe last thing I could remember was that I walked out of the station with so much anger.I still could not believe my ears that I had to fulfill what she told me to fulfill, before she could tell me what she knew.The anger in me kept eating me deep and I decided to pull over at the nearest bar to cool off.I collected the keys from my driver and sent him back home. This week is an alone time for me. A time when I wanted to be by myself alone.I was gripped with shock when I saw the two people at a table closely.Really? Did she really have to do this? This was a slap in my face. I knew that we were nothing but I felt I would have been respected better.I was hurt beyond anything and I could hardly control myself. My tongue began to taste bitter as I watched them laugh and drink.Out of anger, I charged towards them, with my fist tightened.“Reina?” I scoffed, turning around to face her whose shoulder was occupied by the man wearer beside her.He looked good here and even after

REINA “You wish we didn't.” “I guess I am lost somewhere and somehow. Can someone help find me?” Bruce asked and I shut my eyes. My head kept pounding severely and I began to have a migraine as I stood right there. In between two men. One of the men was my supposed ex husband and another man who genuinely cared for me. “I'm sorry, Bruce. Can you leave us to settle this?” I asked him. That was too much for me to say but I knew that saying that will allow peace to reign. I needed to talk to him personally so that I would know why he did such a thing. “Okay, fine. I will leave. I guess there is a misunderstanding somewhere. I hope you two fix whatever the problem is,” he said to me in the most soothing voice and my heart broke. He held me tight with his hand and I could feel his pulse. “I'm sorry. I muttered and he nodded before leaving. After Bruce left, I faced Ethan who had long sat down, serving himself some drinks. “Can you explain what you just did?” I aske

REINA“I don't know what you mean by that, Ethan,” I said, moving further away from him.I didn't know if he was trying to crack a joke or not. But, I sincerely did not find it funny.All the moves he made towards me were one that always made me so uncomfortable.“That will be fun, Reina. You don't have to worry too much about it. I'm good in bed and you know that," he remarked dryly and I stepped out again out of the range where he was standing.This was already too much for me to take. “I don't care if you are good in bed or not, Ethan. I have a problem with you already. My problem is that you allowed the person I came here with to go. Leaving me with you,” I said outrightly.I'm pretty sure that everything I said was enough for him to understand where I am coming from.I was tired. I was fed up. He was trying to please me. Yet, I do not want him. Can't he just back off?How was that such a difficult thing to do?“Are you trying to say that I am no fun? My effort to see you today w

REINAThat laughter came at the right time. I would not have wanted something better in an awkward situation. I felt weird about everything that was happening in my life today. Was I changing who I am already because Ethan was becoming attractive once again?I shook my head as I could not get the answer to my question. I was with someone's husband. Going out with him and allowing him to take me to places.I really do not care about that because Ravenna had done worse to me. What I cared about now was how he was going to see me?He would think that I am easily pleased and swayed around. I really did not want that to happen.I am confused as hell. I am unsure of my feelings and my emotions. I do not know what to do.“Are you okay?” he asked, stretching his hand towards me but I declined.I wanted to walk on my own without being attached to any man. It felt very weird waiting for a man to do something that I can do for myself just as easily. I didn't want him to have the impression tha

ETHAN Reina had been very happy ever since we came here. We have had our fights and all but it's been a while since I saw her happy when she is in my company.I am doing a good job getting her back, I would say. “Do you know the name of that band? I have never heard of them and they are not in the spotlight either,” she asked me and I tilted my head a little.“I really don't know their names. Everything about them is kept a secret and the reason why they are not let in the spotlight is because they have signed a deal with this restaurant to only play for them. As you can see they don't mingle with the public, neither do they mingle with the guests,” I explained to her, telling her everything that I know.“Ohh, I see. That means they are here strictly for business,” she pointed out.“You got that right,” I answered with a nod and I heard some steps coming closer to us.Looking up, I saw the butler that Ashely told us would bring the wine. He came towards us with a bottle of wine. “

REINAI don't like you that much to make love with you, Ethan.Hold it. That's what I wanted to say initially before I cut everything I was thinking short.I shook my head and waved what he said apart, pretending I didn't hear a thing. I had already fallen, again for the man who ditched me for another lady and swindled my heart.At this point, I can call myself a crazy lady because what was going through my head when I was making this decision?“Did you hear me at all, sunshine?” Ethan asked, drawing my mind back to the Statement that he made earlier.Sorry, Ethan. I never forgot whatever you said. I am just as stubborn as you may think to ignore what you said.I don't want to have sex with you. I wish I could say that but, I do not know what was keeping my tongue tied in that manner.“Let's just finish our food. We are almost done,” I said, changing the topic.We were already eating dessert and I could swear that the various dishes I just ate were nothing less than a ten. Everythin

EthanI stood by the window in my hotel room, staring at the city lights shining brightly against the night sky.The streets below were alive with honking cars and I could hear laughter, and the distant thrum of music right here in my room. Yet inside this room, the silence I felt indifferent. I felt something that I could not quite shake off. The events of the last two days replayed in my mind like a broken record. The redhead, the alcohol, the shame. And Carl, my so-called friend who had managed to vanish when I needed him most.I clenched my fists, anger bubbling under the surface. “You are an idiot, Ethan,” I muttered to myself. “An absolute idiot.”My phone buzzed on the bedside table, snapping me out of my thoughts. I reached for it, half-expecting Reina’s name to light up the screen. But it wasn’t her.It was Carl. “Come on dude. Let me be.”I hated the way I was dwelling on all of these. I had work to do and I haven't been able to do anything yet. For a moment, I conside

ReinaThe dinner with Leonard didn't go as expected. As usual, he was cutting through corners. If he knew that I had submitted his name to the cops, maybe he would have given me more information. I was left to rack my brain over this. This was something that was meant to be the detectives work but I have not gotten any report from them. I wanted to call them to ask if they are making any progress but I guess I should just wait for some time. I sat at my desk, staring at my computer screen. The article I had been reading earlier blurred before my eyes. Leonard's words from the night before were still looping in my head. How would I get him to tell me all I need to know?Ethan was in Japan and some unknown people see plotting to kill him. Getting anything from Leonard seemed impossible especially when I knew that he was more interested in my body. But, I can't give in him or anyone. I was w married woman and I had a child. "They see Ethan as a threat,” I repeated as I thought alou

EthanThe cold shower did little to wash away the guilt clinging to my skin. I stood there, water pouring over me, hoping the icy sting would calm the storm in my chest. But it didn’t.I was haunted by memories and all I could see and hear and feel were The redhead’s laughter, her touch, the softness of her lips. it all kept on haunting leaving a relentless echo in my mind.“You are a fool, Ethan,” I muttered, slamming my fist against the tiled wall. “A bloody fool. How could you do such a thing?”I turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing a towel. My reflection in the fogged-up mirror stared back at me. I looked like a total stranger. A stranger with bloodshot eyes and a fucked up face. This was not me. This was not the man I promised Reina I would be.Reina. My sweet wife. Her face swam before my eyes and I could still see her bright smile, the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed. What would she think of me now? Would she even look at me the same way if she knew what

ReinaThe clock on my desk kept ticking loudly and I wondered if it was because I was paying attention to even the little things that I was able to hear it. On a normal day, I would care less about a clock. The sound of the clock was made louder by the silence that engulfed the house. At first, I was sketching a few designs that I was going to put up for sale in the online market but my attention became divided when I remembered that there was something I had to do quickly. tapped my pen against the edge of my notebook, staring at the half-written page in front of me. Research on Leonard had consumed my thoughts for the past two days, but the deeper I dug, the murkier things became.Something about him didn’t sit right with me.I sighed, pushing the notebook aside and reaching for my phone. My messages with Ethan stared back at me, our recent exchange still fresh.“Hey. Busy morning. I will call you tonight. Miss you.”His words these days had been reassuring, but something felt of

EthanI woke up to the sound of a door closing softly, followed by the faint click of heels on the floor. My head throbbed, pounding restlessly that made even the dim morning light coming through the curtains feel unbearable. Letting out a soft groan I tried to sit up, but the heaviness in my limbs kept me pinned to the bed.And then it hit me. I was naked. In her. By this time. I blinked, looking down to see the rumpled sheets tangled around my naked body. My stomach twisted as I began to remember what happened last night. The memories kept flooding back and I could not move. Her red hair glowed under the blue lights. Her laughter. Her hands. Her lips.Oh, my God! What have I done?The door clicked shut, and I turned just in time to catch a glimpse of her fiery hair as she disappeared down the hallway. She didn’t say goodbye. She didn’t even look back.I sat up quickly, clutching the sheets as if they could shield and protect me from the shame threatening to consume me. My cl

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
