Chasing Love After Divorce The Challenge II
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

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

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

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

GENERALZoe's and Emily's eyes and mouths dilated. They stared at Ryan, who was kneeling on the ground for a few seconds, and scoffed in disbelief. "My brother has really lost it. He has gone crazy," Emily mumbled, shocked."I don't think he is in his right state of mind. I am sure that wench has bewitched him," Zoe chipped in worriedly, fears vivid in her eyes. Her eyes darted from Ryan to her grandmother and vice versa. She rushed to her grandmother, settled on the space beside her, and held her arms.Inching her face closer to hers, she said in a pleading tone, "Don't listen to him, grandmother. I am sure he is not in the right sense. That woman must have done something bad to him. My son will never beg to go back to that leech." Ryan's eyes darkened with uncontrollable anger as he raised his head and looked at his mother. Even though he had never given it a huge thought, he hated his mother, and he blamed her for everything. He couldn't help but wonder what she had against Lexi.

LEXIA lot has happened in just two days since we returned from Korea. From the scandal to Ryan coming to cause a scene in my house and my mother spreading his news over the internet just to conceal the rumor about her daughter. Even though it was annoying and sickening, I was glad the rumors about me and Ryan had been buried and long forgotten by the citizens. The only person in trouble at the moment was Ryan, and they had been asking him to explain how he ended up waking up in the middle of the highway.Descending from my car, I snatched my bag from the seat, locked the door, and walked toward the elevator. "Good morning, ma'am," Sarah greeted, her voice echoing behind and propelling me to tilt my head in the direction. It had been two weeks since I last saw her, which made her seem different to me."Huhuh, Sarah. Am I the one who is punctual today, or are you the one who is late?" I asked, creasing my brows in a questioning manner. She chuckled and lowered her head instead of resp

LEXIOpening the plate, some words were written in it with a ketchup. "Will you marry me, Lexi?" I read aloud, and my eyes widened when I finally comprehended what those words were."Oh my...!" Raising my head, I saw Ryan kneeling on the floor with a knee and holding an opened ring box. The diamond ring in it dazzled brightly and lusciously that I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was just like what I had always wanted. Less design and, a classy vibe, and that was exactly what I was getting by looking at the ring. "Donald!" I called, my eyes teary as emotions swelled within me. "You thought it was a mistake when you hopped into my car in Italy months ago. Well, to me it wasn't a mistake. I call it fate because I knew you were my destiny the moment I saw you. Your incomparable smile lightened up my part. Meeting you has made me a complete man. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my bride, Lexi?" He raised the important question again, and a drop of tears slid out of my eyes. Do

GENERALAs Donald watched Lexi board a taxi and leave the scene, anger coursed through him. Just when he was about to reach his goals, Cinderella appeared from nowhere and ruined everything. Did she know how hard he had been working just to reach his goal? "I am going to kill somebody today," he mentally vowed, tightening his fisted hands and clenching his teeth as fury surged within him.Veering around, he dashed to where Cinderella was standing, snatched her wrists, and started pulling her out of the restaurant. "Men will always be scum," one of the restaurant workers let out as they left. Just when they thought true love still existed, the hope was shattered immediately."Where are you dragging me to? What the hell is your problem?" Cinderella barked as he trudged behind Donald, who was dragging her impatiently and roughly. He didn't care if she got injured in the process."What do you want?" She shouted when they got to a pedestrian walkway, jerking her wrist away from his hold.

GENERAL Five Months Later The thump on the door caused Cinderella and Donald to raise their heads and look in the direction of the entrance. At the same time, the door opened slightly, and Lexi popped her head in, scrutinizing the whole place. When her gaze finally landed on the couple, she smiled and waved her hand. "Hello, mummy and daddy," she mumbled, strolling inside. She was followed by her husband, Ryan, and her daughter, Isabelle. "Lexi!" Donald muttered, walking up to Lexi and pulling her in a tight hug. "You didn't tell me you would be coming when we talked on the phone yesterday," he added, breaking the hug and darting his gaze over her. He was surprised to see her at the hospital. "Yeah! I didn't tell you, but it would be bad of me not to come to see my godson as soon as he was born," she said, sauntering past Donald to where the baby was. "Oh! My little pookie. You look so handsome," she complimented, taking the bed from his bed. "He looks just like you, Cinderella,"
Chasing Love After Divorce NEMESIS
GENERALThe sounds of gunshots reverberated across the building. Jasmine was shot in her legs and was forced to stagger into the fire she just created. Like a flash, the fire spread quickly and engulfed the whole building.Zoe and Emily screamed their lungs out for help. The cops who had arrived at the scene earlier rushed in before the fire could get to the people who were tied. Expertly, they released them from the hold and carried them out one after the other. Fortunately, nobody sustained burns except Jasmine, who fell into the fire. The fire was quickly quenched, and she was saved before she could be burnt beyond recognition. Her face, hands, and legs were burnt like an offering. Just when they thought the storm had calmed, Isabelle, who hadn't revived from her blackout, started breathing with difficulty in her mother's arms. Her chest hurled up and down.Lexi's jaw dropped and her eyes blinked as she looked at the girl in her hands. "Isabelle! My love! What is wrong with you?
Chasing Love After Divorce Betrayal! Helplessness! Apology! Mockery!
GENERAL"What! What are you saying?" Zoe let out a stutter. Her lips shook with her eyes dilating in disbelief. She was certain that she didn't hear right. Jasmine would never say that.Jasmine prodded into her eyes, and her lips curled into a sinister smirk. "You heard me, Zoe Middleton. I still have unfinished business with your son," she repeated herself."No, Jasmine. You promised me. This wasn't the agreement. Don't you even try to go back on your words?" She interjected, "I don't like when you try to act sly. I hate betrayals, and I don't pity them." She spurted out, her eyes revealing anger.Jasmine snorted, unfazed by her reaction. "Well, I lied, Zoe. Feel free to call me a betrayal," she asserted.Lexi burst into a peal of hysterical laughter, throwing her head backward. "Such a fool! You think you are smart. Nobody knows Jasmine better than I do. She is just a desperate attention seeker. You are doomed," she muttered amidst her laughter.Angered and frustrated, Emily walked
Chasing Love After Divorce His Properties
GENERAL Ryan's eyes blinked when his sister, Emily, and Zoe, his mother, walked in. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was forced to shut his eyes and open them back, and they were still there. They didn't change. "Mum!!!" Ryan muttered, stupefied. It was as though he had just seen horror. If he had been told that he would be betrayed by his own family, especially his mother, he would have argued blindly. What pushed his mother to this? Zoe and Emily strolled closer to them and folded their arms. "Surprised?" She muttered, and he gulped. "What are you doing, mother? Why are you here? Why are you with Jasmine? Don't tell me you've joined hands with her..." He mumbled, and his mother shrugged her shoulders, asserting his speech. His mouth opened and he scoffed. "What are you thinking, Mum? What is wrong with you? Why would you do such a thing?" He retracted his gaze from his mother and moved it to his sister, Emily. "And you? Can't you tell her that this is wrong? Did you join an ou
Chasing Love After Divorce Kidnapped
GENERALRyan drove like a madman to the spot where he was told his wife's car was found. Getting there, he met some cops doing their work. "Mr. Ryan," one of them called the moment he stepped out of his car. "Did you find any clue? Have you checked the dashboard? Isn't there any CCTV in the street?" He hurled questions at the cops, scared. "The card in the dashboard has been removed. We guess the kidnappers took that with them. And for the street CCTV, we've asked the residents here, and they said it isn't working. It was just there as a camouflage," the cop explained, and Ryan hissed. What was happening? Why did bad things keep happening anytime he was happy? Who would dare kidnap his wife and daughter?He ran his fingers through his hair and placed a hand on his waist. He hated that he was helpless. His child and wife had been kidnapped, but he didn't know what to do. How would he save them? Where were they taken to?* "What! My Lexi? Never!" Mrs. Alexandra's eyes widened when

GENERAL "Please, have your seat," Donald said, pulling the chair out for Cinderella to sit on it.She scrutinized the restaurant they visited with admiration in her eyes. She didn't know where they were going before they left home. Donald just told her to dress nicely. She blushed as she took her seat. He walked to the other side and reclined on his seat. "Welcome, ma'am. Welcome, sir. What would you like to take?" A female waitress walked up to them as soon as they settled.Donald picked the menu and skimmed through it. "Seafood, and a bottle of champagne," he responded, handing his debit card over to the waitress. She took the card, bowed curtly, and left to prepare their order. The seafood he chose was Cinderella's favorite. Soon, the waitress arrived with their orders and arranged them on the table. She returned Donald's debit card. "Enjoy your meal," she said and left.Cinderella's eyes sparkled with hunger as she saw the seafood. The urge to dig in surged within her, b
Chasing Love After Divorce Meeting Grandmother
GENERAL "Finally! You've come to visit me," Ryan's grandmother said, grinning as she went to welcome Lexi, Ryan, and Isabelle, their daughter. "Oh, my Goddess! Is this my little Isabelle?" Grandmother asked, ruffling the little girl's hair. "Hello, grandmother," Isabelle greeted with a smile. "Hey, granddaughter. You've become so big," Grandmother said with admiration in her eyes, and they laughed.Lexi went close to her. They prodded into each other's gazes and embraced each other. Tears brimmed in Lexi's eyes. There was no way she would count her blessings and not count her grandmother. In fact, she would count her twice. She was the only one who never looked down on her despite her poor status in the past. She took her like a daughter and made sure she never lacked a thing. Seeing her again after five years brought back memories, and tears strolled down her eyes. "Thank you for everything, Grandmother," Lexi said with a croaky voice. A lump clogged her throat.Breaking th
Chasing Love After Divorce The Uninvited Guests
GENERALLexi and Ryan weren't surprised by their presence. They glanced at them indifferently, waiting to hear why they were there.Zoe swallowed hard. "Hey, son!" She mumbled with a fake smile.With an emotionless expression, Ryan said, "Why are you here, ma'am?"Her eyes widened. She stuttered, "What... What do you mean by that? Why would anyone ask why I am at my son's house?" She darted her stare over Lexi and threw her deadly and hateful glare. Lexi didn't mind the looks from her. In as much as she didn't step her foot into the house. "I thought I told you not to bring your legs here unless you are ready to repent." Why are you here with the devil you birthed?" He snapped at his mother, fixing a cold gaze at her sister, who was hiding behind her mother.Zoe's face changed into horror. She wore a squinty countenance. "What! Did you just call your sister a devil? What has gotten into you? Has this witch messed with your sense of reasoning?" She hurled questions at him, throwing
Chasing Love After Divorce Her Hideout
GENERALJasmine's step slowed as she neared her hideout. It was evident that she was scared. Perhaps not scared. She wasn't just ready for the drama that would follow once she got to where she was staying. As expected, she saw the man she had been staying with, standing outside and looking fierce.With the way he paced up and down, Jasmine discerned that it wouldn't be a good day for her as usual. He was drunk and exasperated. She was going to get beaten for the umpteenth time. When she escaped the prison some weeks back, she met this grumpy man who offered to help her if she agreed to be his wife. Without thinking, she accepted since she was in dire need of help. And that marked the beginning of her misery. If she was beaten today, she would be sexually abused the following day. Should we talk about the dirty streets and the stinky houses? If she was the previous Jasmine, she would have puked the first time she stepped into his house. "Look who is here. The Almighty Jasmine," The
