Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 45 ~ In flames
ATHENAI march back into the house, my hands trembling, not from fear, but from the rage still pulsing through my veins like poison. I've never felt this kind of anger before. It's hot, thick, and consuming, like wildfire burning in my chest. I feel like ripping him apart for touching my things. At first, yeah, I felt guilty, like maybe I did something to deserve all of this. But as I stomp through the halls of this stupid mansion, the realization hits me harder than ever. He does whatever the hell he wants.He sleeps out with Leah, parades her around like she's some prize, and comes home to burn my life to ashes like I mean nothing. And I? I've been nothing but loyal to this scam of a marriage. Loyal to a man who doesn't know the first thing about love. Luca raises a brow when I storm past him, but I don’t stop. “Where are you going now, Mrs. King?” he calls after me, smirking like this is some kind of show he can't wait to see the ending of. I don’t answer. Because i

Rage. I feel it as he stands behind me, and it burns hotter than the car in front of me. I'm afraid, but i’d be lying if I didn't say I wasn't feeling better. I don't flinch when I hear Alex curse behind me, though I feel his presence like a storm crashing into my back. For a moment, I can’t take my eyes off the flames eating his precious car, the same way he’s been eating away at my soul since the day we married. My memories have started returning, and most of them have been good until two months ago. I shouldn't blame him, though. I signed up for this. But when he starts dictating who I can talk to and start burning my things, that’s where I draw the line. His hands are on me before I can move, spinning me around so fast I almost stumble. “Why did you do that, Athena?” He asks, his eyes dancing in fury. I tilt my head, offering him a sweet, cold smile that doesn’t reach my eyes. “ Can you take a lucky guess?” His jaw tightens so hard I swear I hear his teeth grind. Hi

ATHENA "No man in there should touch you, Athena," Alex mutters darkly, his arm resting along the backseat, fingers casually brushing my shoulder like a silent threat. I turn my head slowly to face him, forcing a smile that doesn't reach my eyes. "Will you tell them I'm your wife?"His jaw works, teeth grinding so hard I can see the tension in his neck. "No," he finally spits out, his voice hard enough to cut through glass. I let out a soft, bitter laugh and look away, watching the city lights blur past the window. "Then you shouldn’t care," I say quietly but firmly, knowing it’ll get a rise out of him. Before I can blink, Alex shifts closer, his hand shooting out to grip my thigh under the thin fabric of my dress, fingers digging in just enough to make me gasp. "What did you just say to me?," he growls, and I swallow. Not daring to repeat the words with how he's looking at me. Ryan stiffens in the driver’s seat, eyes darting to the mirror before quickly looking away. A

ALEXI drum my finger on the table as I watch Athena. She just laughed at something Noah said, and I already want to rip her off that chair. I've always had control of everything, but this woman seems to be proving me wrong. From the way I Itch to touch her soft skin to the way my heart boils at the mention of divorce from her lips. This is wrong. These thoughts are wrong. I shouldn't feel this way for a woman I'm bound to leave. A smile threatened to stretch my lips at the memory of how hot she looked when she challenged me. She burnt my car simply because I burnt her stupid outfit, and I must say it shocked me that wasn't upset about it. Especially when it's my favorite car. “Right Alex?” Leah's voice reaches my ears and I turn to face her, not knowing what the fuck she said. “Right.” I respond nonchalantly but can't help but wonder what the hell I just agreed to when I see a flicker of hurt in Athena’s eyes. She avoids my gaze and bites her bottom lip.That damn lip drives m

ALEX I slam the door and walk to my seat. We reach our house in record time.Athena whirls on me the moment we step inside. "What the hell is your problem, Alex?" she snaps, eyes blazing. I step closer, crowding her against the wall, my hands braced on either side of her head, caging her in. "My problem?" I growl, leaning in. "You’re out there, hanging all over my cousin like you want to make a show of it." She laughs bitterly, but there's a flicker of something in her eyes, maybe nerves, maybe something else. "I’m hanging all over him? You were just dancing with Leah like she’s your damn wife!" she fires back, shoving my chest, but I don't move. "Don’t play games with me, Athena," I bite out, my face so close I can see her pupils dilate. She glares, but her breathing quickens, and I know I’m getting to her. "You're jealous," she accuses, her voice softer now, as if she can't believe it herself. I smirk, though there's nothing funny about the way my chest feels tigh

ATHENA Two months later….“I've been so ashamed to visit you. I'm sorry it took me so long!” Mira, hold my hands, and I hold hers back. “It wasn't your fault.” I smile at her, but she shakes her head. “It was. I shouldn't have left you alone for so long.” Tears well in her eyes, and I laugh. I'm having a hard time trying to put the face in my mind, but after failing miserably, I just sighed. But just a look at her, I can tell she's someone I'd totally be friends with. “You look cute like that.” I tease when she glares at me. “How are you feeling?” She asks, and I groan as I lean back in the hospital bed. I hate hospitals, and having come back here meant I was on my last stroll. Nothing about this place eases my mind. So when I was told I've always wanted to be a doctor, I knew I had to get help if I'm going to live to my full potential. There must have been a reason why I wanted to be a doctor. I just know it.“Athena, babe. Stop spacing out. How are you feeling?” Mira repeats

ATHENAThe door opens, and I almost jump out of my skin from how startled I am after the news I just heard. It's been two hours since Mira left, and my mind has been unsettled. But I don't get to dwell much on it when Ariana rushes towards me with a worried expression. She searches me for any injuries while my father in law, Eli, stands behind her with an amused expression. “You really need to stop scaring me. Maybe just move in with me so I can take care of you.” She frowns once she's satisfied with what she sees. I bite my bottom lip as I hold back a laugh. Ariana King is a beautiful woman. And I may have forgotten what kind of relationship we had, but these past weeks, I've been able to experience so much love from her that it makes me want to cry. She always looks like a mummy bear, ready to jump on anyone who tries to hurt me. Noah mentioned that they suspect someone has been targeting me, and Alex is on it while Ariana has been on his back impatiently waiting for results,

ATHENA“Oh my beautiful girl! I haven't seen you in so long!” Giana smiles at me. I grab her wrinkled hands and place a kiss on them, “I'm sorry, Nana. I've been trying to get my memories back. I didn't want you to feel hurt.” I say truthfully.“Child, it's you. I love not your memories. I'm sorry you had to go through such kind of pain.” Tears well in her eyes, and I shake my head. “I'm okay, now. I promise.” Giana reaches out and cups my cheek gently, her touch warm and comforting in a way that makes my chest ache. “You don’t always have to be okay, sweetheart,” she whispers. “You’re allowed to lean on us. On me, on your husband.” I swallow hard, blinking back the tears that threaten to fall. Leaning on Alex sounds like horror. He'd probably rather die than listen to my confused thoughts. “I know,” I whisper, placing my hand over hers. She smiles softly, though her eyes still shine with worry. “You’ve always been strong. But even strong girls need someone to hold them up

Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 123 ~ Shot
ATHENA The shot rings out.I brace for the pain, for the heat of the bullet tearing through my flesh.But it never comes.I’m still standing.I'm still breathing.Frozen.My heart slams against my ribs as the world slows around me.And then-“No!”A body crashes into mine, shoving me hard to the side.I stumble, catching myself against the edge of a table.That’s when I hear it, a guttural gasp, the sound of someone choking on breath. The thud of a body hitting marble.Blood splatters.I look down my body and realize it's not mine.My eyes widen as I turn.Someone took the bullet.For me.From the corner of my eye, I can see Leah screaming, thrashing, wild-eyed like a mad woman.. But the officers are on her now, four of them tackling her to the ground, ripping the gun from her hands.My ears ring.The voices fade.Someone’s shouting my name, but it sounds like it’s coming from underwater.Everything begins to blur, hitting me all at once.A gun.Shoot.Not me.I look to the side and

ATHENALeah stares at the dress like it's made of poison.I could poison it, but that would have been too merciful.Her hands tremble as she clutches the dresser behind her for balance. “You’re bluffing,” she whispers, her voice cracking beneath the weight of panic. “You can’t- none of this-this isn’t legal!”I take another step closer and smile. It’s not kind. It’s not warm. It’s the smile of a woman who’s been pushed too far, who’s crawled her way through hell and came back with fire in her veins.“Oh, sweetheart,” I say, leaning in until our noses almost touch, “do I look like I care about what’s legal? I think you and I already crossed that line. ”She flinches.“ You know the first thing that hit me when I found out what you had done? I wanted to drown you the way you did to me. But then I realized there was a better way. Whatever you love, I’ll take it. Every fucking thing attached to your name, I will rip it from you and burn it to ashes. Everything you've been craving, will

ATHENAFLASHBACK7 days ago….“It’s only been two hours. Don’t be so anxious,” Zayan says to me, but it does nothing to calm the storm raging inside me.Alex is unpredictable.He may think I fabricated the evidence, and that’s not even the worst that could happen. Leah could get her hands on the documents, twist the story like she always does, and paint me as a manipulator.I’m pacing the length of Zayan’s office, chewing on my nail, with nerves clawing up my throat when the door suddenly slams open, and I nearly jump out of my skin.Alex stands there like a force of nature. His shoulders are rigid, his chest is heaving, and those wild green eyes are locked onto me with pure fury.“Get the fuck out,” he growls, low and dangerous. Zayan straightens from where he’s leaning against the desk, glaring at Alex. “It’s my office,” he snaps.I flick my desperate gaze toward Zayan, silently begging him to give us a moment. Zayan hesitates for just a moment before he sighs and grabs his jacke

LEAHSix days later…“I hope you secure a good fortune after paying ten million for a ridiculous wedding dress!” Mum snaps as she adjusts the hem of my robe.“Can we see it?” she asks, her voice softer this time, almost curious.“No," I say, flipping my hair over my shoulder. "It’s not with me. I had to do makeup first.”Dad grumbles something under his breath, still pale from the heart attack he nearly had when the bank called him.Apparently, when someone drops ten million on a dress, the financial world panics.They thought I’d lost my card. That some thief was out there playing dress-up with my future.But no. I signed the authorization myself and left a copy with the boutique, just in case I change my mind and want a refund later.Not that it matters.Ten million is nothing compared to how much I’ll be entitled to once the vows are said, and my last name is King.“In a few minutes," I remind them with a sparkling smile, "Alexander King will be your son-in-law. Do you have any ide

LEAHI swallow hard, my hands trembling so badly I have to clutch them behind my back."No," I say, my voice cracking. "Of course not! Alex, you know me...""Do I?" he asks, tilting his head, his green eyes unreadable.The assistant stands frozen behind the counter, the dress draped over her arm like a dead body.I force a smile, blinking fast to hide the sting in my eyes."I’ll just... call Daddy," I say quickly. "He’ll transfer the money right now. It’s no big deal."Alex chuckles a low, dangerous sound that makes my blood turn to ice.Is he testing me?"Of course," he responds, "Call Daddy."His words are laced with mockery, but I ignore it. I'm sure it's a test.One I'm not going to lose!I've come too close to the goal to let it slip off my hands. I yank my phone out of my purse so fast it almost flies across the room.Dialing my father’s number, I press it to my ear, forcing a smile at Alex.He watches me, hands still shoved casually into his pockets, like he’s enjoying every
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 118 ~ A surprise
LEAH“What are we doing here, Alex?” I whisper, my voice barely coming out, unable to believe what’s standing right in front of me.A bridal boutique.A real, shimmering bridal boutique. My fucking dream boutique where they sale the best and most expensive wedding gowns!The doors swing open as if they were expecting us.A woman in a sleek black dress smiles warmly and gestures us inside. "Welcome Mr. King, ma'am. We've been expecting you."Ma'am.Mrs King is the name but I have to play nice so I smile. “Thank you!”.When we step In…. my breath stops!I stumble forward, my heart slamming into my ribs so hard it hurts.I turn to Alex, blinking up at him, my mind spinning, almost scared to say the words out loud. “Alex, really... what is this?”He doesn’t smile.He doesn’t soften. He just looks at me with those icy green eyes and says, his voice low and serious,“To be my wife... you need a dress.”He shrugs like it’s obvious, like it’s the most natural thing in the world. “Isn’t
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 117 ~ A swap
LEAH“Mummy, can we go to a play park today?” An irritating little voice reaches my ears, cutting through the music, playing softly in the background.I clench my teeth so hard my jaw aches.How have I managed to raise this little brat?Ugh.I set down my eyeliner with a sharp clink on my dresser. Focus, Leah. Focus.You need him. You need him to get what you want. He's the golden ticket.“Mummy?” he says again, his voice higher, whinier.“What!” I snap, whipping around so fast he flinches. I catch the way his lower lip wobbles that stupid, pathetic look he gives when he’s about to cry.The anger simmers hotter under my skin.“Why are you so damn annoying? Go find Miranda and bother her!”I turn back to the mirror, snatching up the mascara wand with enough force to nearly snap it in half.From the corner of my eye, I see him hesitate. He shifts on his tiny feet, fiddling with the hem of his shirt.I've fought so hard to be where I am. Nothing was handed to me, nothing!Not my st
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 116 ~ Results
ATHENAThe breath I didn’t know I’d been holding finally escapes my lungs. The paper slips from my fingers, fluttering softly to the floor, but I don’t reach for it.I can’t move.I’m frozen in place, staring blankly. As a wave of emotions crashes over me with such force, it nearly knocks the air from my chest as I read the results over and over again. Paternity Results;Athena Dawson and Rayen King: 99.9% Match.Rayen is mine.He’s mine.My baby didn’t die. He didn’t die that day in the hospital like they told me.I wasn’t crazy.I didn’t imagine his little fingers curling around mine. The way I knew, deep in my soul, that he existed even when no one believed me.Tears burn my eyes, blurring the world around me, and I lift my trembling hand to cover my mouth. A choked sob escapes before I can stop it. Zayan is suddenly beside me again, his arm wrapping around my shoulders, anchoring me before I drown in the storm.“If I say I suspected it before I saw his birthmark, then I must be
Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back Chapter 115 ~ Are you sure?
ATHENAI’ve had so many situations that took my breath away. Literally.But the man standing here before me, with his jaw clenched and eyes that flicker like a storm about to strike tops the list by far. My mouth dries up. My pulse screams in my ears. And for a second, I forget to breathe altogether.I crouch down quickly, stuffing the toothbrush back into the resealable bag like it’s nothing more than a spilled pen. Casual. Cool. Calm. All the things I am absolutely not right now. His shoes move closer, and they match the fast beating of my heart.Ta ta ta taSilence.When I look up, I realize the sound had stopped because he's now close. “You didn't answer me,” he says, his voice lower now. My fingers fumble with the zipper of my purse. “Rayen asked me to get him something,” I lie, though my voice wavers near the end. “I was just grabbing it.”Or I could have just said he invited me, but that's even worse. A three year old invites you, and you end up stealing?Oh God!
