Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby I ONLY WANT YOU
MIRABELLA'S POV I watched in silence as the old man got rushed into the emergency unit. He had lost consciousness the moment we arrived at the hospital. The police arrived almost immediately, as I had called them prior to our arrival, and Roman had gone ahead to talk with them while I stayed with Alfred. “Who is that old man, mummy?” Alfred asked when we were seated in the waiting room. “I don’t know, sweetheart, but I hope he’s okay.” I responded. Roman joined us shortly. “Any news from the doctor?” He asked, and I shook my head in negativity. “He is still in the operating room. What did the police say?” I asked curiously. “They said they'd look into the case and try to find the man's family.” Roman responded, and I bobbed my head. The doctor finally came out of the operating room, and I stood up immediately, eager to know how the old man was doing. “How is he, doctor?” I asked with a worried expression. “He is one lucky man to have survived after losing so much blood.

***EASTON'S POV***I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and slowly raised my head up from the table. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips when I saw Mirabella's face. She was dressed in just sweat pants and a hoodie and yet she still looked beautiful with her hair parked in a loose bun, allowing some strands to fall at the corner of her face.“Easton, are you alright?” Mirabella asked in a soft tone, laced with worry. I wasn't sure if it was the effect of the alcohol but at that moment, I felt like taking hold of her hand and never letting go. I guess deep down, I knew my greatest mistake was letting her go and now she was far beyond my reach.“Come on, let's get you home.” Mirabella said this and tried to help me up but I held her hand instead, and gave it a gentle caress. Her hand felt perfect in mine, and I realized that this was actually the first time I had held her so tenderly since our marriage. I had neglected her a lot during our marriage, I barely looked her way, and

***NICOLE'S POV***I quickly grabbed my purse and dashed out of the house the moment Easton's car drove out of the premises. I had waited patiently for him to leave for work so he wouldn't insist on driving me to my location.He had offered to take me to the hospital earlier but I declined, insisting that he had to go to work and I didn't want him to miss his meeting because of me. That was half truth. My main reason was because I needed to pick up something before heading to the hospital.If Broody is still alive, then I must make sure he stays silent. I was lucky enough to have escaped being seen by Mirabella the other day, if Broody should regain his consciousness and tell anyone what happened, then it'll be over for the both of us.I quickly called a cab and gave him the address of where I was heading. It was an abandoned warehouse and the best place to meet without being seen by anyone I know.I quickly paid the driver and alighted the vehicle the moment we reached. I brought ou

***NICOLE'S POV***“Miss, can I please see your hands?” I froze at the nurse's request, but I quickly composed myself and stylishly tucked the syringe into the pocket of my jeans then I stretched my hands to her.“Is something wrong?” I asked with furrowed brows.The nurse blinked severally, her expression that of uncertainty “Oh, I'm sorry about that. Who are you?” She asked, her gaze still lingering on my hands.“His daughter.” I responded firmly. “Is there something you need?” I asked her with a slight frown.“My apologies, miss. I just came to check his vitals.” The nurse said as she walked around to where I stood. I swiftly moved out of her way, making sure not to turn my back to her until I was at the door.“Thank you so much for taking good care of him. I'll visit again soon.” I said with a faint smile and the nurse gave me a nod and then began checking his drip settings and his vitals.I quickly left the room, heaving a sigh. Broody might have gotten lucky today, but I'll be

***MIRABELLA'S POV***“Well ma'am, you have nothing much to worry about. All his tests came out clean.” The nurse said with a smile as she handed the results to me.I stared at the sheets, feeling a bit confused. “But what about his fever?” I asked worriedly. I had rushed Alfred to the hospital the moment I noticed he had a fever, as I didn't want to take any chances. I couldn't stand seeing him get sick, I couldn't stand seeing him sad or in any form of pain.“Well it's normal for kids to develop a fever without any serious medical cause. These fevers are benign and often go away in less than two to three days.” The nurse explained.“So you're saying he's fine?” I asked, my voice laced with uncertainty.“Yes, just keep him hydrated, make sure he's dressed comfortably and keep monitoring his temperature. If it persists then we can run more tests.” She explained and ruffled Alfred's hair with a warm smile on her face.“Take care, kiddo.” She said to him before leaving the room.I tur

***MIRABELLA'S POV***I had just settled down in my office when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I ushered and the door swung open, revealing Lola, my secretary.“Mr. Anderson is here to see you, ma'am.” Lola informed me and I gave her a slight nod.“Let him in.” She leaves the office and soon enough, the door opens again, revealing a well dressed man with a deep scowl on his face.“Mr. Anderson,” I greeted, standing up to shake his hand. “Please, take a seat.”Mr Anderson sank into the chair across from my desk, his face still contorted in anger. “I have been wronged, Ms. Brookwood,” He said, his voice tight with frustration. “I have been cheated out of my hard-earned money.”“I see.” I responded, nodding gravely. “Can you tell me what happened?” “I entered into a contract with a local business to supply them with materials for a construction project," Mr. Anderson explained, his voice growing more agitated. ”But they've refused to pay me for my services."“How much do they

***MIRABELLA'S POV***“Private school?” I asked with a slight frown. “What's wrong with his home lessons?”“Come on, Bella. According to you, Alfred has been homeschooled since day one. Back then at least you were around more but he hardly sees you these days and he needs to be around kids his age more often.” Mom suggested but I shook my head negatively.“I don't think that's a good idea, mom. Alfred is already doing well, he's a smart kid and it won't make any difference if he's homeschooled or attends a private school.” I stated firmly while changing out of my work clothes.“You need to loosen up a bit, Mirabella. I get that you're trying to protect him but keeping him locked up isn't the best.”“He isn't locked up. You and Dad take him out on several occasions, and I do the same whenever I can—”“But now work has made you busier than ever. The least you can do is let him socialize. He's a very curious kid you know. He needs to make friends with kids his age and get used to being a

***EASTON'S POV***“Tell me you have some useful information for me.” I said while keeping my gaze focused on the wheels. I had the call connected to the car's Bluetooth, that way I won't get distracted.“Well, I was finally able to get the caller ID from the number you gave me. However, it was registered with a fake name so I couldn't track it down with any known person.” Kyle responded over the phone and I let out a sigh.Smart move. The caller must have suspected something like this and had taken precautionary measures.“And what about Mirabella's case?” I asked after a while and I could hear Kyle grumble from the other end before responding.“I told you already. The Brookwoods are high profile people, they don't let any personal information slip out just like that. All I can find are news headlines of Mirabella's return. Nothing about the kid or his biological father.” “So you're saying you can't track her activities in the last six years?” I asked with a frown, making a right tu

Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL (FINALE)
~SANDY~I felt my palms getting wet as I was called out onto the podium to give my speech.I had imagined this day since the first day I got into Ousen University, and now it was finally here but now, I felt really anxious. What if I said the wrong things, what if I slipped while climbing onto the podium and fell?Why were my thoughts suddenly so wicked?I should be confident in myself. I came this far, I survived all the hardship, all the challenges and the best part of it all, was that among the audience, my family and everyone I loved was present.Uncle Roman, my grandparents Lionel and Lucia, my granddaughter Martha, my adoptive parents Easton and Mirabella, my sister Kiara, my best friends Hailey and Gabriel, my new friends Natasha and Danzel, my Aunt Paulina and her children, and lastly, the love of my life, Alfred Grey.They were all present, and cheering me on. I found my confidence the moment I got up on that podium and saw their smiling faces.“I thank everyone who is presen
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY (ENDGAME)
~DANZEL~I groaned as I heard the loud banging on the door to my room. “Danzel, don't you have a morning shift or something today? Why are you still in bed?” I heard Jeffery's voice yapping nonstop and I finally pulled myself out of the bed.I just wanted to sleep in today. I didn't feel like going anywhere but the problem is I haven't felt like going out ever since Hailey left here that night.I felt so stupid for hurting her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve someone like me, she deserved better.She had genuinely made herself vulnerable by telling me how she felt and I coldly shattered her heart. I let her down real hard and it has haunted me every night and day.“Dude what the hell? Are you sick or something? You haven't left the house for a week now.” Jeffery asked worriedly as I finally let him into my room.“I'm fine, I just need a little rest.” I responded but he didn't seem convinced.“You said that yesterday and every other day before. What's going on with you?”I s
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 12: TO BE THE LOVABLE SIDE CHARACTER
~HAILEY~“You got everything?” Mom asked as I zipped up my box, ready to leave.“Yes, I think.” I responded, my gaze scrutinizing the room to be certain I wasn't forgetting anything.When I was certain I had it all, I pulled my luggage downstairs. Sandy and Kiara were both waiting for me.Kiara was celebrating her nineteenth birthday this weekend and I decided to spend the week with them since we were on a school break as well.“Don't worry, Mrs. Jordan, we will take good care of her.” Sandy reassured my mom and I chuckled softly.“I trust you will. Have fun sweetheart.” Mom said as I hugged her goodbye.“I'll call you the moment we arrive.” I said and she nodded in response, giving us the green light to leave.The ride back to New York was a rather quiet one, until Kiara broke the silence.“So no one is going to say anything? Come on, tell me how it went!” Kiara beamed and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I wish I had never confessed to Danzel but at the same time, I had no regret
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 11: UNPREDICTABLE
~HAILEY~ I opened the door, letting Sandy and Kiara in. They wanted to meet my mom before they headed back. Funny how five minutes after refusing to come with them, I had changed my mind and agreed to it.I wanted to spend more time with Sandy and school break was around the corner, so maybe I could leave then, and come back on resumption.“This is my first time being in your house in Pennsylvania. We mostly met up at your apartment next to school or you would come see me.” Sandy pointed out and I slowly bobbed my head.She's been talking nonstop about things we used to do and things we never did. I could see that she was making a lot of efforts to get me to remember, but even my mom couldn't make that happen.I guess I was the one slowly blocking my memories or something. I thought I would miraculously remember once I met Sandy, but even Sandy seemed strange to me at some point, while another, she was familiar.“My mom should be home shortly. Do you need anything while you wait?” I
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 10: I LIKE IT HERE
~HAILEY~ Sandy's eyes teared up the moment I called out her name and she immediately rushed towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “Hailey! My God it's you!” She cried out and I found myself crying as well. I could feel her love for me radiating through her every being. Just like my mom, I didn't have to remember her to know that she was truly an important part of my life. She was my best friend, and I'm certain she was also like a sister to me. “I have missed you so much!” She pulled out of the hug, her gaze scrutinizing me from top to bottom. I suddenly felt a light smack on my shoulder and turned to the side to see the blue eyed lady glaring daggers at me. “How could you?! How could you ghost us like that?! How could you abandon Sandy like that?! Did your friendship mean so little to you?! Did we mean so little to you?!” She kept on ranting and I felt a bit overwhelmed with confusion. “You vanished without a warning. Did you know how worried we all were?” She asked but I
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 9: UNDER HIS SPELL
~HAILEY~ What the hell was I thinking?! What in the world made me think I could juggle working and studying at the same time?! I swear I would faint if I got there one more time. I barely had time to do anything, and to think I've only been there for a week! “Hailey, come help me off load the new stocks.” Charity, my work colleague called out and I let out a heavy sigh. I couldn't remember the last time I had a goodnight's rest. My weekdays were taken by school and my weekends were taken by work! Even Sundays weren't any exception. “You can quit now before it's too late.” Danzel's words to me on my second day echoed in my mind. I hated that he was so certain I couldn't handle the work. I wanted to prove him wrong, but at this moment, I think I wouldn't mind raising my white flag. “Have you been sleeping well? You have visible eyebags.” Charity pointed out and I let out a frustrated groan as we restocked the shelves with the new products. Today was Saturday, and since I didn't
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 8: HE'S DIFFERENT
~HAILEY~ The moment my name left his lips, I felt my pent up anger melting away instantly. I mean who cares if he ghosted me, that smile was more than enough to make me forget it all. “Danny!” My happiness was short lived the moment a blonde haired lady ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. “We missed you at the party. I'm hosting another this weekend though. Do you think you can make it?” She asked but all the while, Danzel's gaze was fixated on me, and I found myself not being able to look away. At first I wanted to murder the blondy with my gaze but seeing how Danzel didn't even reciprocate her hug, it reassured me that she wasn't his girlfriend. “I didn't know you attended Bucknell. What a coincidence.” Danzel said to me, his expression blank but his gaze still held mine. I eventually gave up and looked away. Something about the way he stared at me always made me feel weak in the knees. “I didn't know you were an engineering student as well. I guess you're multi ta
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 7: PLAYING HARD TO GET
~HAILEY~ “There you go. All done.” The nurse at the clinic said as she finished wrapping the bandage under my feet. “How long will I stay like this?” I frowned as I stared at my legs. Just when I was finally getting back on my feet, now I will be forced to go back to wheelchair until it's all healed up. “I would say about two weeks. Thankfully the cut wasn't so deep so it shouldn't take too long to heal up.” The nurse responded with a smile and I let out a sigh. “What were you thinking, Hailey? Why would you step on broken glass pieces like that?” Mom scolded. I lowered my gaze. I had no idea what happened. The only thing on my mind was the memory flash I had. Why was I on that bus? Why did only I survive out of everyone on that bus? While I was being wheeled to the clinic, I had done a little digging from the phone on the accident. That's how I found out about everything. Everyone else in that bus had died. “Hailey, are you listening?” Mom's voice pulled me out of my though
