Chasing Love After Divorce Weak
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
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

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 The Scandal II
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

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
