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. The

***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
Last Updated : 2024-11-08Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby LETTING HIM DECIDE
***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 THE NOTE
***EASTON'S POV*** “Sir, are you listening?” Emma's voice snapped me out of my trance and I shifted my gaze to her. "Sorry what were you saying?" I asked with a perplexed expression. “I was just reminding you about your three O'clock meeting with Mr. Alex Chain from Hillgates Company.” Emma replied and I bobbed my head. “Let me know when it's three then.” I responded and she pressed her lips into a thin line. “What is it?” I asked when I noticed she wasn't moving. “It's already three, Sir. I came to remind you of the meeting.” She stated rather hesitantly and I gave her a faint smile. “Oh is that so? I'll be there shortly.” I said and she bobbed her head before leaving my office. I let out a frustrated sigh as I tugged at my hair roughly. I have been zoning out more often these days and I didn't want that to be too obvious. I just couldn't stop myself from thinking about Mirabella and how to make things right between us. I was also worried about her health so far. Was she alri
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby PAYING THE PRICE
***NICOLE'S POV***The sound of shattering glass echoed in the room as I violently smashed the mirror on the wall. I couldn't stand seeing my reflection on it. It reminded me of the day I got kidnapped by Logan's men.I was tempted to call Easton and warn him against Logan but his threats stopped me every time. I never got to find out about his history with Easton and why he hated the Grey family so much but I knew that he was back for his revenge. He had been silent all these while, and I had almost forgotten about him.I can't just let him ruin my plans. If he hurts Easton before we're married, then it'll be over. My years of effort will be flushed down the drain just like that.No, I need to find a way to stop him, probably something to blackmail him with but I knew better than to do that. He can have me killed with a single snap of his fingers.“Damn it!” I tugged violently at my hair as I paced my room, ignoring the glass on the floor.What do I do? How can I persuade Easton to m
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby THE BAIT
***ROMAN'S POV***I nervously rubbed my hands together as I awaited Mirabella in the living room. I couldn't understand why I was nervous, this is all I had ever wanted and though I knew it wasn't really a real date, just the thought of spending some alone time with her gave me hope.I heard footsteps approaching and slowly turned towards the stairs and there she was, descending the stairs ever so gracefully, her red heels clicking against the fine blocks.I couldn't take my eyes off her no matter how hard I tried, and it felt like the world had been placed on stand still, leaving only Mirabella and me. She wore a breathtaking, off-the-shoulder red gown made of high quality silk. The vibrant red color was deep and rich, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her neckline was adorned with an emerald red necklace, adding a touch contract. I smiled brightly as I stared at her gorgeous face which had light makeup on it. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and the hard pounding
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby IT'S MORE LIKE AN OBSESSION
***EASTON'S POV***I picked up the bottle of tequila and filled up my glass while struggling to keep my eyes open. “Haven't you had enough already?” Kyle asked but he doesn't stop me from drinking it. We are seated at the balcony of my room, under the night sky. I had called him over as I needed someone to talk to, more like vent to cause I felt angry, frustrated and heartbroken at the same time.I heard about Mirabella's father's accident and went over to see him after work but they didn't let me in. I even got to learn from one of the maids that Mirabella had collapsed that same day.I was so worried that I had to see her but they said I was the cause of her stress. Mrs. Martha wouldn't even look me in the eyes anymore, it's like she hates me now for constantly hurting her daughter.Roman gave me a clear warning to stay away from her. I could vividly remember our encounter.***FLASHBACK***I rushed out of the car and walked over to the front porch, ringing the doorbell somewhat de
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby THE HARD PART
***NICOLE'S POV***I clicked my glass with Charlotte's before taking a sip. We were celebrating my successful mission in tying Easton down to me. “I knew you had it in you. Now all you have to do is make the public aware. The Grey family cares a lot about their reputation. Once you make it known that you're carrying his child, his parents would have no other choice but to let you two get married.” Charlotte said with a knowing grin and I smiled in satisfaction.“And then once we're married, I can fake having a miscarriage and win Easton's sympathy once more. We'll eventually have another baby along the way but even before then, I'll officially be Mrs. Nicole Grey.” I beamed and sipped my wine, letting out a soft giggle.The thought of finally being married to Easton, I just couldn't wait!But now here comes the hard part, getting the news online. “How do you suggest I go public with our relationship?” I turned to Charlotte with a curious gaze.“It's simple, have him invite you to a
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby A TIP OF THE ICEBERG
***LOGAN'S POV***I stared at my phone for a while waiting for her response but then it became obvious she wasn't going to respond. I let out a soft chuckle as I placed the phone on the table and leaned back on my chair.“Mirabella Brookwood, you still remain a mystery to me.” I said while tapping my fingers on the table. I heard a slight knock on the door and then it got pulled open, revealing my right hand man, Eduardo.“Boss, I have the information you requested.” He said as he made his way to my table and placed an envelope on it.“Wonderful.” I said with a smile as I opened the envelope and brought out the documents and the attached photos.“Easton was able to secure a huge partnership with Hillgates Company and Delta G's chats have skyrocketed ever since then. Also, his ex-wife was present during the trip and it seems they've been spending a lot of time together too.” He explained as I glanced through the photos.“It does appear so. The kid seems really attached to Easton too.”
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby MEETING HIS FAMILY
***MIRABELLA'S POV*** I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by three familiar faces, Mom, Roman and Lola. “What happened?” I asked slowly as I tried to sit up. Roman helped me up immediately. “You almost gave me a heart attack, that's what happened.” Mom said, her tone was a bit harsh with a mix of sadness in them. “I told you to take it easy, ma'am. The test results are not out yet but I'm certain you collapsed from exhaustion.” Lola said with a sad expression. At that moment, the door came open and the doctor walked in. “How are you feeling, Ms. Brookwood?” He asked with a warm smile. “I feel fine doctor. Can I get discharged today?” “Of course but can you tell us what happened before you collapsed?” He asked while staring at me keenly. “I had a killer headache and the next thing I knew I was waking up here.” I replied and he hummed a response. “What's your sleeping routine? Do you work late hours?” He asked and I slowly bobbed my head. “And have you been under a lot o
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby THE ACCIDENT
***MIRABELLA'S POV***“He's injured pretty badly. He got into an accident on his way home.” Lola responded and my heart skipped a beat.“Send me the address of the hospital. I'll be there—”“He's actually home, ma'am.” Lola responded, cutting me off and I furrowed my brows.“What?! Didn't you just say he got into an accident?” I asked with a frown.“He is being treated by the family doctor.” She replied and I let out a sigh.“Take me home.” I instructed the driver and he maneuvered the vehicle, taking a U-turn.We got home minutes later and I dashed out of the car, instructing the driver to take Alfred to his room. I met Lola pacing in the living room and she let out a heavy sigh the moment she saw me.“How is he? Where is he?” I asked, my voice laced with panic.“He is in his study.” I bobbed at Lola before heading to the study and a frown settled on my face when I saw Dad sitting on his chair and going through some documents.He had a light bandage on his head and a few scratches
Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby THE CALL
***MIRABELLA'S POV*** I quickly pulled away from his hold and created a distance between us. “Mr. Grey, what are you doing here?” I asked, staring at him intently. “You haven't been picking my calls, and you haven't been home for a while. I was worried —” “So you tracked me down to my court hearing?” I asked, cutting him off. “Mirabella, please can we talk?” Easton asked, his gaze pleading for me to hear him out. I was tempted to give in but quickly snapped out of it. I turned to Logan who was still standing behind me as he observed Easton keenly. “Where did you say we were having lunch?” I asked and he turned to me with a smile. “Anywhere you like. I know a fine restaurant downtown but if you have somewhere else you want to go—” “Let's go then.” I said with a smile and Logan bobbed his head while stretching out his hand to me. I was about to take his hand when I felt another hand pull me back slightly. “Mirabella, if you're doing this to make me jealous —” “Make you jealo
