Dear Ex, Marry Me Again! 15
I woke up to a severe headache, reaching out to the clock on the stand, I checked, It was pass 6: 30 am. I slept very late, and woke up early, I wasn't stunned. I'm used to doing it while I was married to Ethan, I guess it will take some time for me to adjust to waking up eight in the morning.Stepping out of the bed to go do some activities before preparing for work, I heard noises coming from downstairs. It's too early, who could it be? If the maids were up to do their chores, I shouldn't be hearing it from my room, and besides it doesn't seem like it was coming from the kitchen.I made my way downstairs, exiting quietly. As I stepped into the living room, a sudden flash of light almost blinded me, causing me to glance away. The room was dimmed, but there was enough light for me to find my way around.Turning toward the couch, I heard my father's voice. "I'm here. Should I turn on the lights?" His tone was low, almost heavy."Father?" I called, walking over to him. "Isn’t it too ear

I watched each manager in turn, waiting for their response. After what happened this morning, I became even more determined to check the records they submitted to the general manager. It’s been over forty minutes, and still, no one has spoken. I imagine it's difficult to redo everything for the second time.Glancing into my cup of coffee, I realized it was empty, yet they were still not done. Without looking directly at my secretary, I handed her the cup."Do you want more?” she asked.I shook my head slightly, not wanting to overload my system with coffee. She nodded and quietly exited the room. I like how smart is she, she must have gotten the message.I'm grateful that Ethan called this meeting, even without my consent. I had planned to address this today, and thanks to him, I'm already on it.It's being five more minutes, I was lost in thoughts, wondering here and there, when I felt someone tapping on my hands. Looking down, it was my secretary."I'm sorry about that. I called but

Ryan"When is my next schedule" I asked, picking my keys from the desk, ready to leave the office.. I can't get my mind off how my mother had treated her. I need to find out if it's true. It's something she can do, but I need to know why, what were her reasons for going that far?"In the next two hours, you have a meeting with a client coming in from India."I almost forgot I spoke with him. I should book a hotel and treat him to lunch."Alright, take care of everything. I will have lunch with him. Send the address to his secretary, so he doesn't come to the office." I instructed."Okay, boss."As I turned to leave, Jasper stopped me."Have you seen the news?" I paused, furrowing my brows, waiting for him to continue. He talks a lot for an assistant, but he's a valuable asset to the company. "I saw something about Ms. Emily this morning. She accused the general manager of embezzling money."A smile crept on my face. She just resumed yesterday, and she’s already suspecting the manager.

EmilyI stare at the beautiful lady seated in front of me, on a call with her recipient. I have seen numerous elderly women who still look young, but this one is different. She looks like someone still in her late twenties. Her pink jumpsuit makes her look even younger, with her hair styled to the side of her neck. She's been on a call for more than three minutes, while I sit, waiting for her to finish."Okay. I will see you later." She says, dropping the call and turning to me. "I'm sorry about that. Where did we stop?" she apologizes.I smile. "We had concluded before your call came in. I will send you the designs. Please go through them and get back to me."She nods slightly. "Alright! I will do that." She picks her bag, getting ready to stand up. I follow, extending my hand for a shake."Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you." I say, my hand still waiting for hers. Instead, she surprises me by pulling me in for a hug. My eyes widen, but I quickly replace the expression with a s

I grabbed my bag, ready to leave the office and call it a day. I would rather not stay late and get scolded by my father. I have some unfinished work, I will take it home instead, and get it done.As I pulled the door handle and stepped out, I was about to head toward my secretary, who was already standing when I walked out. My eyes landed on the manager striding to his office. I've been wanting to see him. Since he's been avoiding me, I might as well go to him instead. He must feel too important to come to me. He's not just older than me but also older than Ethan. I guess that's why he won't make the first move."I think he would rather not meet with you." my secretary said, but I didn’t turn to look at her. I already know that’s the case, so I’m going to him.Turning on my heels, I leisurely made my way to his office. Standing in front of his door, I knocked, waiting for his permission to enter. A few seconds passed, and I was still standing there. I knocked again, and this time,

I hurried downstairs, rushing to the kitchen to ask my mother if she had any pads or tampons. I wasn’t expecting my period this soon, but here it was, catching me off guard. It must be from the stress of the last two days and not getting enough sleep. Pushing the door open, I found her standing with the housemaid. "Mother, do you have any pads or tampons?" I asked, waiting for her response. But she didn’t answer right away. It was like her mind was elsewhere. Before she could respond, the maid spoke up. "I have a few pads. I will get them for you." She offered, turning to leave the room."Thank you, I will be waiting." She nodded and walked out, leaving me alone with my mother, who still hadn’t said a word, her gaze fixed on me."I thought you were pregnant, just hiding it from me. Perhaps you were scared to tell me."Not this again. I had already told her I wasn’t pregnant, but she still didn’t believe me. I can't believe she thinks I'm trying to cover up a pregnancy. If I were pre

RyanIt was late evening. I had just concluded a meeting with my client and was about to leave the lounge when my phone began to ring. Zara’s name flashed on the screen. She had crossed my mind earlier today, and I had considered stopping by to see her at home. Now that she was calling, I figured I should visit her before heading home. I pressed the answer button and placed the phone to my ear."Hey, Zara. Where are you? I’m coming over to the house." I asked.She sniffled at first, mumbling something I couldn’t hear. Just as I was about to ask her to repeat herself, her voice came through clearly."I'm not at home! I got into a little trouble at Shop Rite, and now I can't leave until I pay for it."Did I hear her correctly? What was she talking about? Did she steal something? What kind of trouble could be keeping her there? I would rather not get involved, if the media caught wind of this, they would come after me, but I couldn't just leave her to deal with it alone."Okay, I don’t

EmilyA WEEK LATERToday is the day I have been anticipating. Either I get a valid explanation about what happened to the money, or I take matters into my hands. Mr. Adams can’t fool me, even if he thinks he can fool my father. Since the incident at his office, I haven’t seen him, not even a glimpse. He’s probably been avoiding me. I have never met anyone as arrogant as him.Sure, they are influential, and his father being the Mayor’s closest friend doesn’t give him the right to do whatever he pleases. I know how to deal with people like him, who think power is everything. If they are powerful, let’s see if they have the money. I will make sure he faces consequences. And dragging my marriage into this only fuels how far I’m willing to go.I walked into the boardroom, where everyone was already waiting for me. I had called the meeting earlier this morning, so I expected everyone to be seated. As I entered the room, I noticed all the managers were present, except for the general manager,

I couldn’t stay mad at him for long, even if I wanted to. It was a relief that he had woken up, but what about Mother? Has he asked of her whereabouts? I thought, but didn't utter a word."Father, how do you feel? Any pains? Should I get the doctor?" I asked. I didn’t want him to feel worse when he learned Mother was missing.I find it challenging to believe she was gone, there was no way she had been kidnapped. One thing made sense: she had gone to them willingly.I knew Father must have threatened her, and this could be her way of protecting both of us from harm. The same thing had happened before, that’s why she ran away with me."Your mother has been kidnapped?" He said, but it sounded more like a question. Biggy must have told him everything. That shouldn’t bother him, though. I would find her.I looked at Biggy, who quickly cast his gaze downward, apology written all over his expression. I couldn’t blame him for letting Father know."My father has her with him, but I promise to

I was still frozen, everything he had just said was playing in my head, when I felt a hand on my shoulder, pulling me out of my thoughts. As much as I had endured in Zara's hands, Ryan was no exception. The messages he had received and kept from me were enough proof that he had been enduring this torment for years."I'm still in shock. My mother… I still don't want to believe she has anything to do with this." He said. You could hear the hurt in his voice, but as a man, he wouldn’t allow himself to show his emotions."What about your sister? Is there any news about her?" I asked. He hadn’t said anything to me about her since this ordeal began.He shook his head. "Since we lost her, there’s been no further contact. The threat messages that led us to where we thought she was being held captive stopped coming.""I also tried tracing the messages." The guest said. "And it turned out they came from this Zara you're all talking about.""So, she was the one who kidnapped her?" I asked, my vo

EmilyI couldn’t believe this man was actually taking us to where he claimed he usually met his boss. It had been half an hour since we started driving, and we still weren’t there. He’d promised to lead us to the location, which was the only reason Mr. Liam had stopped the torture.Even before we set out, he had acted stubborn, forcing Mr. Liam to order the guys to bring a cement sack and bury his head inside it.The men carried out every instruction without hesitation.I wasn’t part of the mafia. Inflicting pain on someone wasn’t my forte. The last time I’d tried to use metal, it was just an idea I’d seen in movies. But using water, and even a cement sack? That felt like the worst of all, or maybe not. Either way, it was terrible."Is this the place?" I heard Liam say, his voice sharp and laced with suspicion.I turned to him and noticed he was glaring deadly at the twin brother, his expression a warning.Looking out at the surroundings where we had just parked, I couldn’t help but f

I was calling her phone, but she was on a call; the line had been busy. Who could she be speaking with? Isn’t she supposed to be alert for what comes next? I can’t stay out here doing nothing, I should go into the hospital. If her mother is missing, who’s staying with him? "Let’s go inside; we can’t keep staying out here." I said, glancing in my guest's direction. He nodded, and we stepped down from the car, striding toward the reception. "Do you know the room number?" I paused as it dawned on me, I didn’t know the room he was admitted to, not even the floor. "I think we need to ask the receptionist." I said, halting as I realized I was already getting stares from the ladies at the reception desk. "Mr Ryan, you’re famous. Just come with me while I do this." He insisted. I followed his lead reluctantly. Standing at the reception desk, I lingered behind, waiting for him to make inquiries. Suddenly, I heard someone call my name. "Mr. Ryan." I turned to the direction of the voice

RyanI had stopped by the hospital to see Grace, hoping there was some improvement. The guest insisted on coming with me to see her condition, and we both left for the hospital.He's been suggesting I move her to India, which I don’t think is a good idea. We have good doctors here in the country, and this hospital is among the best.I can't move her when I know she can be treated here in the hospital. I know she's in a critical stage, but moving her has never crossed my mind, and now that he mentioned it, I'm not making an attempt."I don’t know why you don’t want to move her, but don’t you think you should give it a thought?"There's nothing to think about, I prefer her here, where I get to see her every day, and whenever I choose to come over."She's better off here. I can’t move her there." I responded, a smile tugged at the corner of my lips. "Let’s go to his office, I want to see him briefly."He shrugged, gesturing me to exit the room. I turned on my heels, descending the stairs

It had been ten minutes since we arrived at the clubhouse, parked a safe distance away. We were still outside, waiting to hear from the men who had gone in, pretending to party with some women they had hired. I hoped they’d catch him, if we get him, we could finally get to the bottom of this.Minutes stretched into half an hour before my phone buzzed, breaking the silence.I reached for it, it was them calling. "Hey, what’s going on?" I asked as I quickly placed the phone to my ear."We have got him. Meet us at the house, we’re on our way there." The voice said firmly before the line went dead, leaving me stunned.I turned to Liam, puzzled. "When did they get him? We were still here waiting for them. How did I miss that?""They followed the plan." Liam replied, his calm tone only adding to my confusion.I frowned, unsure of what he meant. Liam had spoken to them briefly before we got here, but I didn’t know what they’d discussed. What plan was he referring to?"Is there something I'm

"I couldn't bring myself to inform anyone about it. I hadn't expected it to make the news." I explained to Father's friend, Liam, who had flown in as soon as he saw it.He seemed devastated. I didn't know what was going on between Father and him, but the way he looked so pale after hearing the news made me think he wouldn't leave the country without some good news.Since he had walked into the room and asked why I had kept it from them, he hadn't said another word. I believed I was wrong; I wasn't in denial. But the way everyone was making it seem, it felt like I had no right to do what I did.Ethan had already clarified that I was excluded just because I was adopted. But at that point, I wasn't going to let anything stop me from doing what I intended to do."Where's the doctor's office? I need to see him." Liam finally said, looking in Mother's direction."He went out, but I believe he’ll be back soon. You could leave and return, you need to rest; you just flew into the country." Mot

Heading back to the hospital, I noticed my phone’s screen light up briefly before going dark again. I wasn’t sure if it was a call, but curiosity got the better of me. I reached into my bag and pulled it out. There were missed calls from Ethan, along with a message that read: What the hell is going on? Why aren’t you picking up my calls? I frowned. I didn’t recall putting my phone on silent. Why hadn’t I heard it ring? Without overthinking, I dialed Ethan’s number, pressing the phone to my ear as it rang. He picked up almost immediately. "What took you so long to pick up?" He roared, his tone startling me. In all the time I had known Ethan, I’d never heard him yell at me like this. What could have made him this angry? "You’re shouting, Ethan. Can’t you just talk calmly? Yes, you called, and I didn’t hear it. That’s no reason to use the word ‘hell,’" I shot back, my voice laced with irritation. If something was wrong, he needed to talk to me calmly, I would understand. It wasn’t r

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I couldn’t recall much, except for seeing Zara behind Adams before I blacked out. When did she even get there? I remembered the conversation with Adams, there was no one in the car, and she wasn’t standing with him. Everything had happened so fast that I had no idea how I ended up in this room. My heartbeat raced at the thought of being held captive. I couldn’t leave Mother all alone, she would have to reach out to Ethan for help. Lisa would panic and probably return to the city if she finds out. Looking around the room, I cautiously eased myself out of the bed. As I prepared to step forward, my eyes landed on my bag and phone sitting neatly on a drawer. How did they get here? There was no way Adams had brought them. All he wanted was my body. But seeing my phone and bag gave me second thoughts. If I wasn’t with Adams, then where was I? The sound of the doorknob twisting pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly jumped back into the bed, my heart poun
