Chasing Love After Divorce Missus
LEXI I was dazed for a brief moment with my head lifted, glancing at the men in front of me. "We are glad that you are fine, Missus!" They spurted out in chorus again, which made me look behind me; I wasn't certain that I was the one they were talking about. "Me...?" I let out slowly, pointing at my chest just to be sure I was the one they were referring to. "Yes, Missus!" They blurted out, bowing again. I was totally confused. Who are they? And why were they calling me Missus? Looking around me, I realized that the area was getting silent and only a few people were around. My heart skipped a beat, knowing that I wouldn't be able to save myself if they decided to harm my baby and me or even kidnap us. Chuckling to relieve the tension surging within me, I stood on my feet. "I... I... think you are mistaken..." I trailed, terrified. The door of the car opened again, and a man in his late 40s stepped out. He was clad in a blue shirt and black pair of pants. He had few grays in his
Chasing Love After Divorce Alexandra Lexi
LEXII blinked incessantly, trying to assimilate the statement Ricardo made. With creased brows, I spurted out, “What! My parents…?”Instead of responding to me, Ricardo bowed curtly and sauntered out, leaving me and Alexandra Matthew and his wife alone.“Mr. Ricardo, can you please explain the statement you just made?” I shouted his name, hoping he would stop, but he never did. I was too scared to glimpse at the couple in front of me.The sound of sobs propelled me to raise my head, and I saw Mrs. Alexandra crying with her head on Mr. Alexandra’s shoulder while he patted her comfortingly on the back.“My angel is here. My baby survived. She didn’t die.” She muttered amidst her sobs, adding to my initial confusion. Did she lose her child? What child was she talking about? What the fuck is going on, and why is no one giving me a befitting answer?As if they could read my thought, Mr. Alexandra broke the silence, “You are our daughter.” A part of my brows creased, and I threw him a que
Chasing Love After Divorce Weird Attitude
RYANIt's been five days, and I haven't heard from Lexi. I wondered what that wench was up to. I have stared at my phone screen tirelessly, hoping that her message or caller ID would pop up, but it never did. Where is she? What is she doing with baby Isabelle?I knew she would come back. She had no place to go. The drama she performed just because I asked her to give Jasmine one of her kidneys was just to threaten me. It was very foolish of her to think that I would fall for her act.When she left five days ago, I gave her an ultimatum of two days, saying that she would come back begging after two days. It has been five days, and I haven't received even a flash from her. Has she really moved on? Did she really leave?" I gave myself a stern pat on the forehead and hissed, "Don't be so stupid, Ryan. She will come back. I am very certain that she would come back. She's just trying to act stubborn. She has nowhere to go, and she has been surviving on your money. She will definitely come

RYAN"There's nothing wrong with you, Mr. Ryan. You are just worried about the person you love. It's not a symptom of a terminal disease, and you are not dying." The doctor's words kept ringing in my head as I drove to work after leaving the hospital. "You are worried about the person you love. You are worried about the person you love," that statement rang repeatedly.Sighing, I chuckled, "That was so funny. The person I love? I wasn't even thinking about Jasmine. If it was Jasmine, then it would be understandable because she was the only woman I love, but I was fucking thinking about Lexi, that leech. How is she the person I love? And worry? I don't fucking give a damn about her." "This doctor is spewing nonsense. I'm not sure he learned his job well," I muttered, driving into my company's park. After making sure I had parked appropriately, I stepped out and walked into the company.Stepping out of the elevator, my secretary came to meet me and greeted me with a smile, "Good mornin

LEXIFour Years Later.I stepped out of the car, holding a textbook in my hand. I was just coming back from a lecture, and I don't have a car. Don't misunderstand the situation. My father has opted to get me a car countless times, and I kept rejecting the offer anytime he asked. I mean, I just didn't want to start living a flashy lifestyle. Only a few people knew that I am an Alexandra, and I wished to keep it that way so that I could live a normal life without having to go everywhere with guards around me. "How much is the ride?" I questioned, lowering my head so that I could see the driver's face.A smile spread on the driver's face, and he shook his head. "I'm not a taxi driver," he revealed.My eyes widened and almost left their socket in disbelief when I heard his statement. Did I really board a stranger's car without suspecting? What if he was a kidnapper? I've got to be careful next time."Oh my God! I am so sorry. I thought you were a taxi driver. That was why I entered withou
Chasing Love After Divorce Bitten More Than She Could Chew
ENGLANDRYANDescending from my car, I strolled into the house. Emily hurriedly sprang up from the couch she was seated on before I stepped in and rushed towards me."Brother, welcome home. I...," She tried to talk, but I tossed the bag I was holding, flinging it over an empty couch, and I quickly dashed over the stairs into Lexi's room.My face fell with disappointment when I found the room empty again. What was I even expecting? Have I really gone mad? Do I expect a woman I mistreated and chased out of my house to be sleeping in her room? I knew that was a crazy thing to ask, but I really wished it happened that way. Every day for the past four years, I have been coming into Lexi's old room, hoping that I would meet her here. It took me six months to accept that I was really worried about her, and it took me a year to accept that I was actually in love with her. Why did it take me so long before I realized? Why does it have to be when I have deserted her and chased her away?Ever s
Chasing Love After Divorce Bouquet By The Doorstep
ITALYLEXI"Thank you for the patronage. Please, do come around next time." The cashier said, handing over the things we picked at the mall to us. I collected it from her and returned a wide smile. With Isabelle's hand intertwined with mine, we trekked home since the mall we visited was just down the street. It was Isabelle who suddenly requested chocolates and creamy yogurt who made us step out of the house at that time of the night.Just as we were about to step into the house, I sighted a bouquet of flowers by the entrance, wrapped with a blue wrapper. A part of my brows creased as I looked outside, trying to see if the owner was around, but I couldn't find anyone."Mum, is that yours?" Isabelle asked, letting my hands go.With creased brows, I shook my head negatively. "No, darling. It's not mine. I don't know who owns it," I responded.Isabelle rushed to where the bouquet was kept, picked it up, and removed the letter from it. Before I could reprimand her for picking up what doe

LEXI"Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent into England. Please turn off all portable electronic devices and stow them until we have arrived at the gate. In preparation for landing in England, be certain your seat back is straightened and your seat belt is fastened." The announcer's voice wafted into my ears, and I obliged, doing what he asked me to do for myself and Isabelle, who was sitting beside me.After what seemed like forever, our plane landed, and we trudged out after clearing our bags and taking them.I shut my eyes and opened them back as I inhaled the fresh air of England, the same country that held most of my memories. I wouldn't say that I had the plans of returning now, but my father's situation forced me to come back. Yesterday, when mom called me again, she told me that his condition is now stable, but the little girl in me wouldn't want to stay back in Italy knowing that her father is in a critical condition, which was the reason I booked the next flight

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
Chasing Love After Divorce Plans Failed Again
GENERALPresident Alexandra and Madame Alexandra were seated in the living room when Jasmine walked in, with Mr. Ricardo, his PA, beside her. Mr. Ricardo bowed curtly and strolled away when they got to the living room.As soon as Madame Alexandra saw Jasmine, she stood up and closed the gap on her. "And what were you talking about? What was that shit you were clamoring all about?" She asked, swaying an irritable and hateful gape over Jasmine, who was terrified for a moment when she saw the wealthiest man in the country for the first time. That man—she had always seen him on TV. His aura and demeanor were as strong as it was on V; in fact, it would be safe to say that it was stronger. "Cat got your tongue? Don't you have a mouth?" Madame Alexandra yelled, exasperated that Jasmine didn't respond to her question. "Abigail! President Alexandra called his wife's name, which was unusual of him. The woman's body froze, but she knew what he was trying to imply. He just indirectly told her
Chasing Love After Divorce War
GENERAL Jasmine glanced at herself in the full portrait mirror and smiled widely, satisfied with the way she had dressed. Her outfit was perfect for her outing. Since it was more like she was going to a war, it was better she dressed like a warrior. Taking her bag, she wandered out of her bedroom and met Gina on the way. "Good morning, ma'am. Breakfast is ready. Should I serve it already?" She asked, darting her gaze over her. She wouldn't be surprised if her boss flared up at the question. She had become used to her mood swings and her bad temperament. As expected, Jasmine didn't find it funny and growled exasperatingly, "And so? Did I tell you that I'm hungry this morning, or is food the only thing you can think of? Is that the only thing your empty skull could install?" Gina dropped her head and mumbled, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Forgive me, ma'am." She knew better than anyone not to argue with her unless she wanted to put herself in deeper trouble. Swaying an irritable gaze over her
Chasing Love After Divorce On The Hospital Bed
GeneralThe kissing started slow and languid, but as they got engrossed in it, the kissing intensified, and it became rough and aggressive. It was as though they had been denied it for years. Or maybe it was true. They nibbled on each other's lips hungrily, their hands roaming all over one another's body.They both knew it was wrong. Lexi knew that she might regret it. Her brain was telling her to stop, but she couldn't. She just didn't find herself stopping what she had started and tasted. Maybe it was because it had been long since she kissed someone; she found herself craving more as the kissing deepened. She wanted more. More than kissing and touching.She stopped thinking about her regrets. She stopped chiding herself to stop. Since it had happened, she could as well enjoy it to the fullest and just pin the blame on Ryan when they were done. At least she would be satisfied.Her hands moved to his chest, and Ryan's body trembled as her fingers rubbed his nipples, tickling him and

GENERAL "What! Jasmine exclaimed, springing up from the couch. She clenched her hand on the phone she was holding in her ear as anger coursed through her like fire on dried leaves."We are sorry, ma'am. A man appeared from nowhere, and he was crashed into instead of our target." The man on the other side of the phone explained to her, but she wasn't having it. She had been thinking about the task she gave the men in Korea. Her instinct had told her something would go wrong, but she decided to clear her doubt by giving them the opportunity, and this happened. Who was the fool who saved Lexi? Why did she keep getting help anytime she tried to attack her?"You are so incompetent. I am such a fool for trusting you guys with such an important task. I want my money back right now. You have five minutes to refund my money back to me, or else you wouldn't like it if I came to that side myself." She threatened, gritting her teeth and seething with anger. She would have pounced on the incomp

LEXIIt had been past twenty-four hours, and Ryan had been confirmed to be out of trouble. Also, he had been moved to a normal ward, but he had yet to open his eyes.I was seated on the chair beside his bed with my eyes fixed on him. The scenes from two days ago kept replaying in my head as I looked at him. I owe Ryan!" It echoed in my head repeatedly.Suddenly, I saw his lashes flicker swiftly and his fingers move briefly, which made me widen my eyes so that I could be certain that I saw the right thing. Again, his lashes and fingers moved, causing me to spring up from my seat."Ryan! Are you awake? Can you hear me?" I questioned, studying every action he took until he struggled to open one of his eyes. My lips parted into a relieving smile."Ryan! Can you see me? Can you hear me?" I asked, grinning. Finally, I could breathe well. He was finally awake. I didn't need to wallow in guilt and conscience anymore. His eyes tightened again, but he opened them back almost immediately. "Lexi
