Chasing Back My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 72
REINA***I took a stroll out of my house because I needed to breathe in fresh air. I had not had the courage to go to the public ever since that article was released about me.Here, whee I was. It was difficult to find so many people who would talk about it. I kept on walking on the empty road and to mg greatest surprise, a guy who I had not seen before wandered around and came to me.“Hi, young lady. I haven't seen you around,” he said and I was scared that he was going to talk about the news. “You don't have to know everyone, do you?” I replied rudely.That was a defense mechanism because I had no idea what was coming my way. Any one can come here and start making a joke of me because of what they heard.My heart beat refused to be stable all the time that he was standing in front of me. “That was harsh. I just wanted to get to know a pretty lady like you. You don't have to be rude,” he said and I quickly apologized.Although, I was not sincere about the apology. I just needed

ETHANThe news!It was all over the net. The news about the child that Reina had hid from the public. I was already getting tensed about everything and I knew that this must be the handwork of Ravenna. I hated the way she exposed Reina. Now everyone was talking about her. Everywhere I went, people talked about Reina. The love I had for Reina made me begin to regret everything. I would have tried to stop Ravenna when she said she was going to do such a wicked thing.But, I was desperate. I was too desperate to know if the child belonged to me like she claimed.“I'm such a fool,” I said and buried my head in my hand. I placed my head on my office desk. I had tried to call Ravenna ever since but she was not answering my call. Her line rang but I guess that she was deliberately ignoring me.I sent her multiple texts to tell her of the harm that her single article has done. But, there was not a single response from her.“Fuck it! Fuck her! Fuck everyone!” I yelled and hit the table with

ETHANI was shocked beyond measure about what was going on. The whole going around circles and talking about Reina was crazy.Have they forgotten that this lady was the one who helped our company last month? We would have been swimming in debt. “I am sure that Mr. Ethan doesn't want a hoe as a partner. That's all I am aware of. She should go and fix herself up and keep sleeping with men.”“But, why is the CEO not talking about all of these? He has been mute all these while. Maybe he knows something that we all don't know.”“Maybe you should ask him,” the aggressive lady teased and they both laughed. Oh, God. I knew that these ladies may start talking about me soon. I have to get out of here.I walked briskly but quietly to my office as I could hear the whooshing sound of my heart pounding in my ears.When I reach my desk, my hands shake as I fumble with the drawer to the filing cabinet, where I snatched my laptop. I needed to leave here and see a doctor for my persistent hea

REINA The persistence never ceased to end even for a second. I was beginning to wonder if Bruce was actually pushing me to this because he had something to gain from all of these. I don't know what was hard about agreeing with me about not getting married to him. “I have my own life to live. I really appreciate the efforts you make but, after thinking about all this. I don't think this will benefit me.” Bruce took a deep breath and held my shoulder with his hands. His hands were so warm and I needed that to stay sane. My heart ached. Everything around me made me feel worse. Seeing my son call me “mother” only made things worse for me. I knew that I had failed him. I have failed everyone. How was he going to find a place in his heart to forgive his mother for doing such a wicked thing to him? I wondered what his mates told him when he went to school. I wonder if he was bullied by his classmates who have access to the internet. They would have seen his picture flying around o

REINANow I felt bad. It hurt me to think that I complain too much. My shoulders fell and I felt a rush of bad feeling grip me. “Sometimes, I just feel that you think that way. You may see me as a jobless guy who left his mansion to come and stay here. Isn't that right?” he asked.Bruce was beginning to overthink things. Was that normal? Was I giving off the energy that I was not comfortable with him by my side?“I know that I never told you to come here and that you came here on your own accord. I know that I am in my home and that this is my bed. But, I never complained for one day,” I said with an eerily calm voice.“I'm sorry then. I guess I was just thinking too much. You should go dress up. Maybe we need to go out,” he suggested. Was that all I do nowadays? Stay at home and go out to a place with less people?I am tired of this kind of life.“I don't know if that is a good idea. I think I will remain indoors.”“You need to go out and have fun at least. You don't have to go to

ETHANThe world did not crumble down nor did the world come to an end. It was a miracle. Sorry, I would call it a miracle that I was able to reach Ravenna after everything that happened.“You have been avoiding me. Haven't you?” I asked her over the phone.“Do you expect me not to? What do you want me to do for you?” She asked me and I was taken aback by her question.“What do you mean by that, Ravenna? You know why I am calling. Don't you?” She was trying to play games with me. She was trying to pretend that she had no idea of what I was talking about.I hate it when she makes me look like I was a fool.“I am at your office. I will see you since you have been disturbing me all these while. I would want to know what you want to tell me,” she said and the burden on my heart lightened.“You know what. It's about Ravenna.”“That's why I am here. Open your door.”After she told me to open the door, I heard a knock on the door that led to my office.“Come in.”Ravenna entered my office wi

ETHAN“Do I have to fulfill everything on your list before you give me the proof that the child is mine?”“Of course! Do you think that I'm a fool?” she smirked. “So, all you want is to be a board member so that you can show up at our meetings right? Fine. I accept. As long as you are not making decisions.”“I will also be allowed to receive the stipends those in the board get. You can't place me there without giving me anything. You know that right?” she asked.“I know. You will receive your stipends. Do you actually want to be in the board because of the money or you have your reasons?” I asked.There must be a solid reason behind all these. Ravenna was one person who knew how to tactfully plan something.“That is none of your business. Remember, I still own some shares in this company. Don't act like I have nothing here. And for the money. Hmmm…. it's part of it,” she replied and I was becoming worked up.“You don't brag in your name with what others did for you. I was the o

REINAThe short trip I had with Bruce was worth it.Bruce had literally come into my life to stay even though I have not given him a permanent answer. I loved him. My daily routine still remains the same.Waking up in my house, getting dragged out of the house by Bruce and all that.I woke up late and smile to myself as I roll over, thinking back to the way Bruce kept me awake up all night.He was the sweetest man ever. This sweet being wouldn’t stop telling me he loved me, and his touch was so reverent that I thought I would lose it if he does not stop.I looked over the pillow and I saw him sleeping like a child. My fingertips brushed over his pillow, and the smile that I wore on my face faded as I remembered the guilt that tormented me. The guilt of rejecting him and telling him that it was not time to get married.I didn't know if he was serious about us. But, he looked like he was. Staring at him, I thought of so many things. Have I in any way hurt him? I would not know be

EthanI could not sit still. Not after everything that has been happening.My fingers drummed against the edge of the hotel desk as my eyes looked towards the door for the hundredth time. I had double-checked the lock, slid the chain in place, and even propped a chair under the handle. But it was not enough. Not when I knew someone was following me.All these things felt like deja vu because something like this has happened to me before I moved to the country my family is in. Why was all these messing up with my life? “They have been watching us. There are cameras in the house.” I remembered Reina's words. And now this being tailed by a black car, the creeping feeling that every step I took was being tracked. I ran my hands through my hair and each strand was damp with sweat. I felt trapped and powerless, and it was eating me alive.My phone buzzed on the desk. I snatched it up, my heart pounding, hoping it was Reina. It was not.It was Carl. He never backed down even when I told

Reina I was scared to death, unaware of what to do. Ethan had been yelling at me that I should call the cops. “Call the cops now! Reina!” I wish I could. My hands were shaking and I could not dial the number correctly. When I was able to call the cops, the line operator answered and I heard a faint knock at the back door. My breath caught in my throat.“Reina?” Ethan’s voice came in again. I knew he heard the noise. “They are at the back door,” I whispered with tears streaming down my face. I could not believe that I would be crying this minute. See what we have gotten ourselves into. “Get out of there,” he said. “Now.”“I can’t. It's not that easy,” I said, my voice barely audible.“Then hide,” he said. “Go somewhere safe and stay there until the police arrive. I’m on my way, Reina. I promise.”On your way? Oh, Ethan. I know that you haven't booked a flight yet even though you pleaded with me that you will book the next available flight. I hung up and bolted toward the pantr

ReinaThe house has always been this quiet in the past few days. The kind of quiet that made every creak of the floorboards and every faint rustle outside feel like something heavy. I sat at the kitchen table, staring at the unknown number on my phone screen. My hands were trembling as I read the message again.“You’re in over your head, Mrs. Reina. Tell your husband to back off and leave Japan or you will both regret it.I had seen my fair share of threats in my career. The angry competitors, disgruntled clients, jealous rivals but this was different and more dangerous. I knew Ethan was in danger. I knew I was in danger. But what chilled me to the bone was the realization that whoever sent this message didn’t just know about us, they were watching us. They had their eyes on us. I felt like I was suffocating, the walls of the house closing in around me. I needed air. I needed to breathe. I ran outside so that I wouldn't faint and the cool night breeze kept on hitting my face as I

ReinaThe sun was just beginning to set when I heard the sharp knock on the door. It was unusual. I wasn’t expecting anyone.I froze, my mind immediately flashing back to Leonard’s warnings and Detective Daniels’ advice to stay vigilant. For a moment, I considered not answering, but the knock came again, louder this time.“Reina, it’s me,” a familiar voice called out.Leonard.My stomach churned as I tiptoed to the peephole. Sure enough, there he was, standing in a crisp black suit, his expression unreadable.I opened the door just enough to see him. “What are you doing here?” I asked sharply.“We need to talk,” Leonard said, his voice calm but urgent.“We have nothing to talk about,” I replied, starting to close the door.He pushed it open slightly, his hand on the frame. “Please, Reina. This is important. It’s about Ethan.”That made me pause. I didn’t trust Leonard as far as I could throw him, but the mention of Ethan pulled at my resolve. Reluctantly, I stepped aside and let him i

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
