Chasing Love After Divorce Accusation
LEXIMy lashes blinked incessantly even though I was half awake. I stretched my head, attempting to hit the pillow beside me, and perhaps pulled it to myself when my hand hit another surface different from the pillow. To be certain, I hit the spot again, and it was still the same sturdy surface, which caused me to open one of my eyes slightly. Instantly, my eyes flew open when I saw the person I mistook for a pillow. "Ah!" I shouted, sitting up and dragging the duvet to my chest. I was terrified. I didn't know what had happened or how it had happened.At the same time, Ryan, who was sleeping beside me, jumped out of his sleep and sat up on the bed."What is it? Are you okay? Did something happen? Is it a bad dream?" Ryan asked in a worried tone; the sleepiness in his eyes had dissipated immediately, even without rubbing them off. He tried to touch me, but my body stiffened, and I shifted it backward."Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me? What are you doing in my room? Why are

RYANI hated everything. I hated myself for being such a fool. I was such a dummy. Why didn't I just listen to her and do what she wanted yesterday? Why did I have to restrain myself?I obviously didn't have any dignity left because Lexi kept trampling on it without any care. I should have just fucked her until she called my name. I should choke her and make her shed tears of joy while begging me to bang her aggressively. At least, I would be excited that I got something in return for the humiliation and slap I received from her today. I was an idiot. I was disappointed in myself.I dashed into the storage room and punched the wall many times until there was a crack. The atmosphere of the room changed drastically, becoming dark, terrifying, and eerie. I was certain that I could hurt somebody at this point.Still lost in thought and my aggressiveness, the creaking sound of the door wafted into my ears, and I tilted my head in that direction. As soon as I did that, a huge, weightlifting

LEXI"Please have your seat," Adebola muttered, pointing at the chair he pulled out for me with a wide smile etched on his face. Returning the smile, I settled on the seat, and he went to sit on the chair in front of me."Tell me, what do you want?" He asked."Let me try Tteokbokki. I need it spicy, please," I responded with a smile. That was one of the Korean foods I have been looking forward to eating. "Okay. I will go with Japchae," Adebola let out elegantly before gesturing to the waiter to come take the orders.Five minutes later, the waiter returned with a tray and arranged our food on the table. "Enjoy your meal!" He said, bowing curtly before walking away.Adebola and I tucked into the food immediately after he left. It was so spicy that I felt my mouth burning, but I enjoyed every bit of it. I didn't drop the chopsticks until I gulped the last Tteokbokki on the plate. "Ah!" I breathe out loudly. "This is so good," I complimented. And I was indeed satisfied. This was the f

LEXIIt happened so suddenly. I knew I was so stupid for walking freely on the road without checking for coming vehicles. With the manner in which the truck was approaching me, it was glaring that I wouldn't be able to evade the danger looming even if I tried to run. Fuck it! I couldn't even run. I was too shocked to carry my feet. It was as though my feet had been glued to the cement road. The rear light of the truck shone brightly in my face as it closed up on me. Immediately, I shut my eyes and anticipated the excruciating pain that might send me to heaven because the chances of escaping death were slim.As expected, the pain came, and I heard a crashing sound, but it wasn't as painful as I expected. To me, it seemed impossible because that was a damn truck, and I could imagine the kind of pain it would cause if it hit anyone. Could it be that I was already dead? Was that the reason the pain didn't envelope me like I presumed?"Dowajuseyo! Dowajuseyo!! 119 jeonhwahaejuseyo," I hea

LEXIThe neurosurgeon stared at me for seconds, and slowly his lips curled into a smile. "Fortunately, we were able to stop the blood before his blood pressure became high. He is safe and away from trouble for now, but we have to keep a close watch on him for twenty-four hours before we move him to the normal ward," the doctor explained, and a loud sigh of relief escaped my lungs. I didn't know how long I had been holding my breath."Thank Goodness. Thank you, gracious God," I muttered, placing a hand on my chest that was moving up and down rhythmically with my unstable breathing. "Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much. Can I see him now?" I questioned."Yes. But it has to be from the glass outside. You cannot step into the room until his eyes are open," he told me, and I nodded, my lips parting into a smile. Ryan was saved. I didn't have to bear the guilt of his death. Immediately the doctor left, and I slumped onto the closest chair beside me and wiped my face with my palms. That wa

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

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

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

Chasing Love After Divorce Mother And Daughter Talk
GENERALIsabelle went silent for seconds, glancing at Ryan unblinkingly. She was deep in thought, thinking about the question Ryan just asked.After a brief silence, she blinked and muttered, "I will be happy. It's a good thing if you turned out to be my father." She responded, stunning Ryan.His eyes widened and his jaw dropped slightly. After a while, his lips curled into a wide smile. "Really, Isabelle?" He questioned, and the little girl nodded her head. "Yes, Mr. Ryan. I will be excited. She grinned brightly as she spoke. There was innocence and sincerity in her glistening eyes. "But why are you asking?" She added."Huh...?" Ryan swallowed hard, flickering as he rummaged through his head for a befitting excuse. "Nothing. It's just one of the random thoughts I used to have," he lied.She didn't doubt him. She nodded her head. "Bye, Mr. Ryan," she mumbled, waving her hand and getting out of his office. Before he could wave back, she was out of sight with her chauffeur. He breath
Chasing Love After Divorce Father And Daughter Moment
GENERALIsabelle ran out of the classroom when she sighted the chauffeur. "Uncle!" She shouted, running toward him. The chauffeur tilted his head in the direction of the voice and smiled brightly when he saw the young girl running toward him."How was school today, Isabelle?" He asked, holding her hand and taking the lunch box and backpack from her. "It was fine, uncle. It feels good to be in school again," she answered heartily, leaping and reciting a nursery rhyme as they walked to the car.Getting into the car, she hopped into the back seat, and he assisted her to do her seatbelt. Afterward, he went back to his seat to begin the trip.However, before he could do that, Isabelle stopped him. "Excuse me, uncle," she said. The chauffeur's hand froze. He left the key he was about to turn in the ignition and tilted his head to give her the attention she requested. "Is there any problem, Isabelle? Do you want me to do something for you?"Clamping her mouth, she shook her head. "Can yo
Chasing Love After Divorce Back To Work
LexiDriving into the car park, I turned off the ignition and stepped out of the car. I walked into the elevator, and a ding sound ripped through the air as it reached the floor where my office was located. The moment I stepped out, a loud sound filled the air, startling me and causing me to take a few steps backward. Widening my eyes to look in the direction of the sound, I realized that it was a party popper. Before I could comprehend what just happened, I heard, "Welcome back to work, President Lexi. And congratulations on your recovery," my staff said in chorus, and that was when I saw everyone's faces. Aside from the staff from other departments, the office area is filled with staff from the Presidential Department.My heart tingled with admiration and excitement. I loved that. They all clapped their hands afterward. Donald sauntered out of their midst, holding a bouquet of red roses. "Welcome back to work, Lexi," he mumbled, handing over the flower to me.I narrowed my gaze as
Chasing Love After Divorce My Woman
GENERAL"Can you hear me?" Lexi asked again when he didn't answer her previous questions. She stood up and held his arm, her brows raising and her eyes widening.Since he couldn't talk because of the oxygen fixed in his nose, he blinked his eyes and nodded to her question.At the same time, Zoe and Emily ran over and intentionally pushed Lexi away. Thankfully, she was able to maintain her composure with the help of the bed. She knew the two witches were just trying to frustrate her and make her act like a madwoman, but she would forgive them today and deal with them another time."My son!" Zoe called. "Brother!" Emily spurted out, holding his arm. The duo smiled, looking at Ryan, whose gaze was focused on Lexi."How are you feeling?" Zoe retracted her gaze from him and moved it to Emily, "Go and inform the doctor that he's awake," she ordered.Nodding, Emily left the room and returned almost immediately with the same doctor who attended to Lexi. As soon as he saw Lexi, his brows cre
Chasing Love After Divorce Lazy Ryan
GENERALAnger coursed through Zoe's veins as she heard what Lexi said. It was as though she was slapped hard in the face. Her face turned crimson red with lines of anger scribbled on her facial features. She gritted her teeth and took steps forward. "What! What did you just say? How dare you call me by my name?" She shouted, her veins popping out due to anger.Lexi chuckled nonchalantly, "What was I supposed to call you with? Your daughter's name? Zoe is your name, so I will call you by that. Or... What were you expecting me to call you?...." She paused, raised her brows, and glanced at her quizzically. When she finally thought of something, she erupted into laughter, covering her mouth with her hands, "Don't tell me you are expecting me to call your mother? Oh my goodness! Have you forgotten that you are not my mother? You reminded me many times back in the days," She taunted with her words, ignoring the murderous glares emitting from them. She was less concerned. She loved it. Tha
Chasing Love After Divorce He Is Her Hero
GENERALLexi darted her gaze between her parents. She found their reactions suspicious and scary. Her mind missed a beat. Has something happened to Ryan? "Mom...? Dad...? Where is Ryan?" She asked again, her eyes dilating in anticipation of what her parents' response would be. She just hoped that it wouldn't be bad news. She owed him a lot. She would have been dead before they got saved if he hadn't intervened and stalked enough time for them. The last thing she wanted to hear was that he was gone. "The doctor said that he was in a more critical situation, and it was only by a miracle that the bullet didn't get to his heart because it was just a tiny space between his heart and the spot the bullet pierced into. He has been operated on and is out of danger, but he hasn't opened his eyes since then," her mother explained calmly. There was guilt in her eyes. Even though Ryan had once maltreated their daughter, they couldn't help but feel indebted to him. It would have been a differ
Chasing Love After Divorce Where Is Ryan?
GENERAL FLASHBACK TO 12 HOURS AGO Ryan sat in his car, resting his arm on the steering wheel and staring at the mansion in front of him. He was contemplating whether to enter or not. He was there to check on Lexi, but he was scared to step in because he didn't know the reaction he would meet. The memory of the humiliation he received at the hospital was still vivid in his head, and he wouldn't want to suffer the same thing again. "You just need to go. Isabelle isn't her daughter alone. She is also yours," he mentally told himself. Shutting his eyes for a few seconds, he sighed and opened them back. Just as he unlocked the door and was about to step out, he sighted Lexi running out of the house with an oversized gown that she clutched to avoid stepping on as she walked. His brows crinkled. Why was she running? Where was she going? She looked like she was in a haste, yet she didn't take a car with her. He suspected something and decided to discreetly follow her to find out what was h
Chasing Love After Divorce Perfect Timing
GENERALSilence overwhelmed the atmosphere at the sound of the gunshot. Ryan glared at Jasmine, shocked and afraid. What was that sound? Where did it come from? "Mommy!" Isabelle cried out, her voice lingering in the air with a lot of worry mixed with it. Her voice jerked Ryan out of his reverie, and he looked behind him. That was when he realized what was happening. It turned out that the gunshot that reverberated in the room was real and Lexi had been shot instead. Blood gushed out of her side as she clutched it tightly with her hands. Her body shook. "Argh!" Lexi winced as her body hurriedly wallowed in the pool of pain. An excruciating pang of pain coursed through her like fire on dried leaves. Ryan blinked with his mouth widened, his eyes darkened, and tears rushed to his lids. What! Jasmine really did that...? "How dare you, Jasmine?" He growled. His voice resounded like thunder, sending fears down the spines of Jasmine and her men, but they were smart enough to conceal th
Chasing Love After Divorce Savior
GENERALLexi flinched in fear as she felt a liquid substance splashing over her. Unlocking her eyes swiftly in fear, she was shocked to find Jasmine, standing over her and pouring water over her and her daughter. The craziest part of it was it wasn't clean water, and it was already emitting a stench odor. She almost puked as the horrible smell drifted into her nose. Thankfully, she had shielded Isabelle, which protected her from the water. "What are you doing, Jasmine? What water is this?" She yelled at her, hovering over her daughter. Her voice was shaky and pathetic. None of her words wafted into Jasmine's ears. She didn't stop pouring the water until she finished the one in the bucket. Then, she flung the bucket away. "What do you think I am doing? I am trying to wake you up. Is that a bad thing to do?" She responded to her with an indifferent expression. She was totally not bothered and nonchalant about her actions. "And you think waking me up this way is the best way? How
