Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 20-Rebel
I spent the rest days in bed, finally opening my eyes the next morning, fully aware of how drained I felt. The weight of everything that had happened the day before hung heavily on me. Glancing at the clock, I saw it was only eight in the morning, and I let out a groan as a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. It swung open to reveal Dominic stepping into the room. Seeing him made me groan again, rolling my eyes in frustration. Did he really think it was acceptable to just barge in like that? “Good morning, I see you’re already awake,” he said, checking his watch. My mind drifted back to the previous day, recalling how he had erupted in anger in the car simply because I had spoken the truth. I turned away from him, choosing not to acknowledge his greeting. If he wanted to be rude, I could match that energy. “I’m sorry for how I reacted yesterday. It was wrong of me to try to change who you are. I hope you can forgive me. I want to make this work, so please give me a chance,”
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 21-Ivan Revenge
Third person POV Ivan was seething with rage, his plans shattered the moment the truth emerged. He despised that Dominic always seemed to be one step ahead, and it infuriated him. He was on the verge of marrying a woman he had desired for years, only to have her reject him for Dominic, Eve, now known as Clarissa. This was his golden chance to bring Dominic down, especially after he had taken his wife a year ago. Clarissa had no recollection of that time, leaving her mind open for Ivan to manipulate in his favor.Since her arrival in Italy, he had refused to leave, hiding with his men and biding his time for the perfect moment to strike against the Italian mafia. Ivan had grown up under the shadow of the mafia, with Dominic as his brother, but his greed consumed him. When his uncle offered him a chance to control the Russian mafia, he betrayed the guidance he had received, driven by a desire for revenge that only fueled his animosity toward Dominic.“What’s the update?” Ivan demanded
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 22-Meeting Elise
Clarissa POVDominic approached the man outside, who leaned in to whisper something to him. In an instant, Dominic's expression shifted to one of seriousness, and when his gaze met mine, I felt a lump form in my throat. Something deep inside me suggested that whatever was said had something to do with me, drawing his attention. Once the man finished speaking, he entered the room, leaving Dominic to address me."Once you're finished here, my men will escort you back. I need to get back to work," he stated before stepping out, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable.Without a moment's hesitation, I hurriedly slipped on my clothes and rushed out of the dressing room, but he was already gone. Whatever had come up seemed pressing enough to pull him away."Do you know where the boss went?" I asked one of the men Dominic had left behind.He shrugged, his broad shoulders indicating indifference. "No idea," he replied, his voice rough."Can I give you a ride home?" he asked unexpectedly."
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 23-life after Grief
The hours slipped away, and I found myself retreating to my room, tears streaming down my face. What kind of life had I cherished before everything fell apart? I pondered this while standing in the shower, lost in thought, when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Wrapping a towel around myself, I made my way to the door and opened it to find a maid waiting, her gaze fixed on me. “I apologize for the interruption, but the Don has requested your presence at dinner in twenty minutes,” she said gently. “Alright, I’ll be there,” I replied, closing the door behind me and exhaling deeply. The men had delivered my clothes a few hours earlier, and I felt a wave of gratitude for the outfit I had chosen to wear during my stay here.I quickly slipped into a comfortable pair of jeans and a simple white top, the kind of attire that feels just right. As I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I pulled my hair back into a loose ponytail. Stepping out of my room, I noticed the hallway wa

I suppressed my shock as I looked at him with horror, wondering how much more he had overheard. I knew i needed to act smart to cover up, i couldn't let him assumed the worst.Suddenly, I smiled, and I noticed his eyes dart to Lily. Unfortunately, she was quick enough to pull her hoodie over her head as she turned her face away.“I ask a question; did all of you go mute?” he snapped. I looked at him with a smile that I knew was fake, and my eyes narrowed at him.“Harper, she told me you killed her baby,” I lied, as his gaze pierced right through me. It was a foolish thing to say, but I knew I had to say something to escape whatever this was. I couldn't let him find out about that just yet; I had no idea how he would react or how it would end.“What!” he exclaimed, stepping closer to me.“Excuse me,” Lily said, turning and walking away quickly, but his eyes remained fixed on me.“I heard you say 'your baby.'

I expected to see a servant, but instead, it was Harper. She entered with a bright smile, which immediately made me uneasy.“Harper... it’s nice to see you,” I said through clenched teeth, trying to maintain a pleasant expression.“Oh, did I wake you?
