Chasing Love After Divorce On Her Birthday
Alexandra LexiI paced up and down the bedroom, skimming at the huge clock that was appropriately hung in the wall from time to time. As I glanced at the clock, I darted my gaze to my daughter, Isabelle, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed and then to the beautiful dinner date setting at the corner of my bedroom with candles lit around the chairs and tables to set the perfect atmosphere for the evening. Carefully, I carried Isabelle in my arms, took her to her bedroom, and tucked her in the bed. A beautiful smile was etched on my face as I stared at her oval white face that looked exactly like mine. She was the sole reason I hadn't gone crazy in this house. She was the reason I have been holding the humiliation and maltreatment in. "Goodnight, darling," I mumbled, pressed a kiss on her forehead as I coated her with the duvet. Afterward, I went to switch the lights off and walked out of her room."He has done it again," I said in my head, nibbling on my fingernails as I struggled t
Chasing Love After Divorce Lies Against Her
Lexi"Ouch!' Emily winced, checking her elbow with a squinting expression. Ryan's action halted when he saw Emily on the floor, and my eyes dilated as if I were angry, even though I was only stunned by her act. He darted his gaze over Emily and then at me. With the glints in his eyes, I was convinced that he had analyzed the situation and he thought I was at fault. Scratch that. He was going to put the blame on me anyway."What happened here? Why is Emily on the floor?" He threw a question at me without sparing me a glance. Emily swayed her gaze over me and forced out false tears out of her eyes. "You can just tell me that you don't want to cook today, Lexi. Why did you have to push me?" She cried out in a croaky voice."What!" My brows snapped as I watched the drama unfold in my presence. Emily would become a superstar if she channeled her hateful energy on acting. I almost believed her tears too."Brother, I only came to beg her to prepare breakfast this morning since Auntie Cynth
Chasing Love After Divorce A Day With The Concubine
Lexi"Daddy is so sorry, my cupcake," Ryan let out, running toward Isabelle as I carried her down the stairs. "My angel!" He mumbled, halting in front of me and jerking her away from my arm."Oh my baby!" He chuckled, throwing her up and catching her. He planted a kiss on her forehead and hugged her warmly."Dada misses you so much," he let out, closing his eyes. Dada was the first word Isabelle uttered, and she was referring to Ryan. "You would have come home if you missed her this much. I can't believe you chose that woman over your own." He sent a threatening glare to my side before I could finish my statement, causing me to swallow the remaining words. With my head lowered, I avoided his gaze."Let's go," he ordered coldly, walking toward the door. However, we hadn't taken more than four steps when he abruptly halted. A part of my brows raised in a questioning manner. "Is there a problem?" I questioned, curious and confused, why he stopped walking."I have some harmless advice f
Chasing Love After Divorce Chapter four
LEXIRyan stepped into the field at the same time, and his eyes darted over Jasmine, who had just fallen into the pool. I don't know if she wasn't a swimmer, but she was struggling to get out of the pool. Or maybe she wasn't really trying to get out. She was just putting on a show. His footsteps slowed down as he was shocked by the scene he met."Oh my! What the hell happened here? Jasmine!" He called, jumping into the pool. He brought Jasmine out, carrying her in his arms in a bridal manner. They dripped with water.As he stepped out of the pool, he glared at me with accusing eyes. I didn't need to be told that he blamed me for everything, even without hearing from me or asking me what happened. How do I let him know that I didn't do it? How do I prove my innocence?"Is this how desperate you are, Wench?" Can you tell me how much more desperate you can be?" He shouted with spite; balls of hatred rolled in his eyes as he pierced them into mine. I felt lumps of tears clogging my throat
Chasing Love After Divorce Old LILLIAN
LEXI"You are under arrest for the attempted murder of Miss Jasmine Stephenson." One of the cops' voices echoed in my ears, causing me to blink incessantly. I thought I had a problem with my ears."What!" My brows creased and my face squished as I exclaimed. This isn't true. I must have heard wrong, right? I darted my stare over to Ryan, and I saw him standing by the door with no iota of guilt or conscience in his eyes. All I saw was hatred and the thirst for revenge. "I didn't do it, Ryan. I didn't push her. She jumped into the pool herself. I haven't even touched her," I confessed, sauntering closer to him with my hands tightly cuffed. The last thing I wanted to believe was that my husband would arrest me because of his girlfriend. "That girl is in critical condition right now because of you. She is battling with her life in the hospital right now. How can you be this wicked? I gave you an opportunity, and you misused it. Well, I don't expect less from a poor, covetous leech like
Chasing Love After Divorce Out Of Cell
LEXI"Grandmother!" I shouted, a smile breaking on my lips as I ran toward her. The tears brimming in my lids flowed out freely."Oh, my daughter! You have really been cheated. I am so sorry," Old Lillian let out, wrapping her arms around me in a warm hug and patting my back soothingly. My emotions got the better of me, and tears slipped out of my eyes."Grandma!" I repeated, stifling back the snots that were planning to follow the tears out. "It's fine now. Nobody will be able to touch you now. Not even my clueless grandson. Wipe your tears, my dear." She whispered reassuring words into my ears, running her hands down my back soothingly. When the emotions swirling within me finally calmed, I broke the hug and pierced deeply into her eyes. "Thank you for coming to save me. I don't know what I would have done without you," I let out truthfully. It was so glaring that I would use weeks, if not months, in here if Old Lillian hadn't come. My husband, his family, and his concubine were s

RYANI couldn't believe my ears when I heard that the woman I loved had kidney failure. My eyes darted between Jasmine, who was lying weakly on the bed, and the doctor who was standing in front of me."What do you mean by she has kidney failure? But she only fell into the pool," I let out. I was just trying to know why she had something so critical when she only fell into the pool."Uhm... Mr. Ryan. Miss Jasmine has been having the symptoms before today, but the way she fell into the pool suddenly caused more harm to her. That was what prompted the diagnosis," the doctor explained, and I could feel anger coursing through my body like fire on dried leaves. To cut the long story short, Lexi, that bastard was the reason My Jasmine had a kidney failure. I am not going to forgive that bitch. She is going to rot in the cell and will never be saved by me."How much do you need to take care of her? I wanted her treated today. Find another kidney for her in an hour," I ordered, suppressing th
Chasing Love After Divorce Her Limit
GeneralJasmine wrapped her arms around the doctor's neck as their kissing intensified. Jumping, she encircled her legs around his waist, and slowly they moved to the bed, where they made out quickly."Do you think the woman will agree to give you her kidney?" The doctor asked, wiping the beads of sweat that were shrouding his forehead and breathing erratically.Jasmine rolled her eyes, adjusting her hospital gown. She smirked, "It's not like she has a choice. She is so desperate to have Ryan that she is ready to do anything. And even if she declines, Ryan is going to force her to do it. He doesn't joke with me," Jasmine bragged, earning a light chuckle from the doctor."What do you intend to do with her kidney? We both know that you are healthy," he asked in a calm tone."I don't know. Perhaps flush it in the toilet or throw it in the river. Even if I were in need of a kidney, you don't think I would accept a kidney from a pathetic filth like her, do you?" Jasmine scoffed and eyed th

GeneralRyan sat up and realized that he was in the middle of the road with a lot of spectators standing beside the road and watching him. Some had empathy in their eyes, while others had disdain in theirs.Cars drove past him speedily. He was stupefied and confused. How did he end up here? Well, it wasn't time to think about the deed that had been done. He stood up and hurriedly ran to the pedestrian way. However, as soon as he got there, he was shrouded by the reporters who were amongst the crowd."Mr. Ryan Middleton, can you tell us how you ended up sleeping in the middle of the road? Rumor has it that you take hard drugs; is it true? Could it be that the effect of the hard drugs made you presume that the highway is your bedroom? Can you explain how you end up in this situation?" Different questions were hurled at him nonstop.Ryan was still in shock and didn't even know the right utterance to make. The crowd was many, and they weren't giving him any escape route. "Please, answer
Chasing Love After Divorce The Drunk Ryan
GENERALRyan staggered backward when his eyes locked with Lexi's mother's fierce eyes. He swallowed hard as he blinked while swirling to all sides."What the hell are you doing in my house?" Mrs. Alexandra shouted at the top of her lungs, glaring at him sternly.Ryan's gaze was fixed on her. His lashes flickered a few times and broke into another round of tears suddenly. Bending, he covered his watery eyes and cried profusely."Mother-in-law, please forgive me. I want my Lexi back. Please, let her come back to me," he apologized in between his tears.Mrs. Alexandra's body stiffened at his sudden outburst. Her face flushed, and she felt flattered by his words. However, before she could fall for that, she hissed and snapped at him, "Don't call me your mother-in-law. I am not your mother-in-law. I would rather marry my daughter than give her to a horrible man like you." Ryan kneeled on the floor and wrapped his hands around Mrs. Alexandra's legs. "Please, mother-in-law. Let me see her t
Chasing Love After Divorce The Drunk Ryan I
GeneralThe banging sound prompted the security alertness. The two security guards, situated at the entrance, stepped out of the gate and were surprised when they saw a car that had bumped into the car. One of the men rushed to the side and pulled the car door to open it. Luckily, it wasn't locked, so they were able to pull it open."I need to see Lexi. Please, let me see Lexi," Ryan slurred, staggering out of the car and slamming the door.The security men's eyes widened by the action. He was here to see Lexi? What was his business with her? At first, his face didn't seem familiar to them until it became clearer, and that was when they remembered that he was the same man Lexi had a scandal with. He was the one whose picture was flying all over the media with Lexi's.Seeing him at the mansion caused their brows to crease. They wondered if the news circulating on the internet was true."M... Mr. Ryan," One of the men called, shocked."I want to see Lexi. Let me see Lexi." He shoved t

JASMINEYeah, I cried. I couldn't believe that he loved her. I knew he had been chasing after her, but I didn't presume he would affirm that he truly loved her. It felt as though my heart was being pierced repeatedly with needles when he called Lexi the woman he loved. Why...? Why does it have to be Lexi...? Why can't it be me? Why does everything have to revolve around that good-for-nothing, female? Why is she the lucky one? Why am I always unfortunate?Angrily, I stormed to my bedroom and snatched the phone lying on the bed. I was about to make a phone call when that bastard, Ryan, came to display his foolishness in my house. My blood boiled and balls of fury rolled over me as I stared at Emily's number, listening to the phone ring and anticipating her to pick it up. Unfortunately for her, she picked up the call at the fourth ring."Hey, Jasmine! What's up?" She asked over the phone. The timbre of her voice increased the anger surge within me. If only I could see her right now and

RYANLike a madman, I zoomed off to Jasmine's house. Thankfully, it was already dark and safer to break the traffic rules without having to pay any fines. I was able to reduce the journey from fifty minutes to thirty minutes because of the speed I drove the car. I dashed out of the car and stormed toward Jasmine's door without closing the door of the car.Impatiently and angrily, I thumped on her door. I could hear a response from inside, but that wasn't what I wanted. I need to see her horrible face and teach her a lesson she will never forget in a hurry.Again, I punched her door fiercely. Another response came, but harsher this time. Just as I was about to knock on the door one more time, the door opened and an unfamiliar face came into view. Her expression was hard, but it instantly became soft when she saw me.For a reason, I could discern that this person knew who I was because why would her expression change the moment she realized I was at the door? But I didn't even know he

RYANI am tired. I am really tired of the constant trouble I have been fighting with ever since Lexi returned to the country. If it wasn't this, it would be that. There hasn't been a day of resting. Either I am dealing with this or with that.Just when I thought Lexi was warming up to me, dirty news was revealed on the internet about us. My pictures and our pictures have been flying all over the Internet, and Lexi didn't want to believe that I wasn't the one behind them. Yes, I wanted her. Yes, I wanted my company back, but I wouldn't stoop so low to do something as embarrassing as that. She didn't believe it. I could see the disappointment and pain in her eyes as she looked at me. The last time I saw this was four years ago when she signed the divorce papers. I could remember those eyes because they had been engraved in my head ever since. "Whoa! I don't think you can ever win her back," Casper let out, taking the cocktails from the bartender who was standing in front of us and pu

GENERAL"Are you sure this will work?" Jasmine asked, worriedly, glancing at the news headline and reading comments under the blog posts. Emily chuckled, "That shouldn't be a question. I am one hundred percent certain it has worked. My brother must be on a hot seat right now," she let out with a dark smirk."I am just scared. What if they find us out?" Jasmine mumbled, tossing her phone on the couch and settling beside it.Emily was shocked by Jasmine's behavior. The lady she had always wanted for her brother wasn't a coward. What happened? What caused her change? "I didn't know you to be a coward, Jasmine. I have always known you to be brave. How would they even find out that we are behind the pictures flying over the internet? They're not going to know, my dear," she explained, hoping to relieve Jasmine's tension.Despite everything Emily said, Jasmine was still terrified. Her heart beat faster and it almost jumped out of its position. She put her thumb in her mouth and nibbled on

GENERALLexi's grip on Donald's phone tightened as she read the news on his phone. The news headline says, "Alexandra Lexi and Ryan Middleton set to walk down the aisle as they got engaged yesterday in Korea." There was a picture of them at the hotel when Lexi was drunk and stumbled over Ryan's body. The angle the picture was taken made it seem as though they were in an intimate position. Lexi's eyes darted between the phone and Ryan. Her eyes darkened as inexplicable irritation swirled within her. It was glaring. It didn't need to be investigated. Ryan was the only person who could gain access to the photos because he was the only one who knew about what transpired between them aside from her. She snickered bitterly inwardly. She couldn't believe that he could be this desperate. This was the same man she had a plan of returning his position to when they returned to England. Meanwhile, Donald was brewing with anger where he was seated. Even though he was trying his best to suppress
Chasing Love After Divorce Back From Korea
GeneralKoreaLexi descended from the cab, wired the money to the driver, and scurried into the hotel. She walked fast as though she was chased by some people. Getting into her suite, she locked the door and rested her back against it. Scoffing, her breath became deep and rapid. She couldn't believe what happened at the hospital."Am I a fool?" She asked nobody in particular, her chest hurling up and down. She let go of the door handle, sauntered to the bed, and collapsed onto it, sprawling with her arms widely spread while she faced the ceiling. Staring blankly, she rested a hand on her chest, and she listened to the way her heart was beating rhythmically.Blinking, she asked rhetorically, "What is wrong with me? Do I have a terminal disease? It cannot be that I am still in love with Ryan, right?" Frustrated by her unanswered question, she hissed and punched the air a few times. She blamed herself for allowing her emotions to take over. She blamed herself for going to the hospital
