Dear Ex, Marry Me Again! 21
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 stepped out of my car, striding towards Whiff Wonders Company. It had been such a productive day. I received an invitation from Anderson to check out their new collection before the launch this week. I'm grateful what happened on the highway remained between us. Father didn’t say a word, and Ethan never found out.The accident made the news, but neither of them suspected I was there, nor that I might have been the target. Either way, I need to be more cautious and meticulous. I don’t know who’s out there trying to harm me for reasons I don’t even understand.As I approached the entrance, I heard someone calling my name and running towards me from behind. Turning around, I saw a man I didn’t recognize. His face seemed familiar, but I couldn’t place him or remember where I might have seen him. I paused, waiting for him to catch up."Hello! How can I help you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. A wide grin spread across his face, and I wondered if there was something on mine that made him s

We were all rushed to the hospital after the explosion. I was the only one who wasn’t admitted, having escaped without injury. Anderson, though physically unharmed, remained unconscious. When I asked the doctor why, he said Anderson needed rest to recover from the shock.It’s been thirty minutes since we arrived at the hospital, and I stayed to check on his secretary, who sustained minor injuries. The last thing I remember before losing consciousness was her placing the box in the car, yet she somehow escaped with barely few scratches, and minor injuries.Upon waking, I called Ethan, even though he's flying out of the country. I also tried contacting Father, but his phone wasn’t connecting. Calling Ethan over makes me feel like a burden already. I had to call to inform him of what had happened.I stood outside the hospital room, pacing back and forth, waiting for the doctor to come out of the room where Anderson's secretary was admitted. The stares and murmurs from people passing by w

There was a knock on the door. Spinning around, I saw Ethan walking in with a nurse behind him, carrying some injections. He flashed me a smile, standing next to me."Father is here." He informed me. I stood up, the thought of Father being around filled me with excitement."Where is he?" I asked, staring at the door, waiting for him to walk in. Just as expected, he was pushing the door open. I walked toward him and pulled him in for a warm hug."Are you okay? Did you sustain any injuries?" He asked as I clutched tightly to him."No, I'm fine. I lost consciousness, but when we got to the hospital, I woke up. They run some check up on me, I'm fine."He pulled out of the hug, turning me around to be certain. "I'm glad you’re fine. What about her?" He pointed at Anderson's secretary."The doctor said she will be fine. She has a few injuries, although she might not recognize people when she wakes up." Ethan responded in my place.I watched his expression grow darker with each passing secon

"How are you feeling now?" Father asked Anderson, who was now seated on the bed, his back resting against the wall. We were outside when the nurse came to inform us that he was awake."I'm fine. I should be asking how your daughter is doing. I invited her over, and this happened." He responded, his tone weak as disappointment washed over him.Is he blaming himself? Why would he, when it was my car that exploded? I caused it. If I hadn't come over to his place, this wouldn’t have happened. I watched as Father and Ethan glanced at each other, then back at him."It’s not your fault. My sister is doing fine, you can see for yourself. Though your secretary is still unconscious." Ethan responded.I watched as he struggled to adjust, pressing onto the bed. "The nurse told me there’s not much damage. She’ll be fine.""Yes, she will be fine, but it might take a while for her to wake up. The doctor assured us she’s stable, no complications." I added."Yes, she will be fine. Be strong, and get b

RyanIt’s been a month since I heard about the incident. The media has been covering it every day, to the point where they have nothing else to discuss except what happened that day. I don’t know the full details, but one thing is certain, someone tried to kill her.It pisses me off whenever I recall that she was at Whiff Wonders when it happened. I had sent Jasper out that day, hoping everything would go smoothly. She just had to choose a day to meet discreetly. I couldn’t do it publicly because of the warning I received from an anonymous sender.The threat has been making me hesitant; otherwise, I would have acted according to my plans. I would have met with her right after the banquet.Rumor has it she’s doing well, and the company is performing better than expected. I have to applaud her for her hard work. There’s no doubt she was a role model to some employees even before I married her.Months have passed, and the threats have stopped coming. I haven’t received anything unusual li

I’m certain we can still work things out, and this time, I’m ready to do whatever she wants. I treated her badly for four years, and I need to make it up to her. I have to protect her from danger, it’s my responsibility. I never should have let her go in the first place. There has to be a way to make things right.I was so focused on the company and taking care of Zara that I never cared enough about her. Business always came first, and I made it my top priority.What’s done is done, I can’t change the past. All I can do now is right my wrongs. I’m not sure what exactly I feel inside, but I know we can work things out.I felt a tap on my hand and turned to see Zara. "We are here." She said. I hadn’t realized Jasper had stopped the car, I was too lost in thought."Let’s go inside." I stepped out of the car first, then walked to her side and opened the door for her. Once she was standing next to me, I took her hand. "You need to keep your promise. I don’t want any drama." I warned her."

WARNINGEXPLICIT CONTENTI stared at the ceiling, lost in thought for what felt like an eternity. The words still echoed in my mind, almost as if I hadn’t heard them properly the first time: I’m pregnant. And not just with anyone’s child—Ryan’s.Freya had been right, though I hadn’t wanted to admit it. Perhaps she noticed the symptoms before I did, the subtle changes in the way I looked or acted. If Mother had been around, maybe she would have agreed too.I was relieved that no one pressed me further about it. Everyone believed I wasn’t involved with anyone, so the idea of me being pregnant likely didn’t cross their minds. For now, at least.Reaching for my phone to check the time, I noticed a missed call I hadn’t seen earlier. As I unlocked it, I realized there was a message from my father.I knew it. I had been right all along, he has Mother with him. She must have gone willingly, trying to protect all of us. That’s just who she is. Despite everything, I believed he wouldn’t hurt he
Dear Ex, Marry Me Again! 148
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
