Dear Ex Wife, Please take me backย ย ย Chapter 68 ~ News
ALEXI don't know how long I've been pacing outside the hospital room. Minutes? Hours? Time doesnโt feel real when youโre forced to wait. My hands clench into fists, then relax, only to clench again. Every few seconds, I hear her. Athena. Her voice, raw with pain, broke through the walls that separate us. Each sound she makes feels like a blade against my skin, cutting deeper and deeper. And I can't do anything about it. I run a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply. The sterile hospital air does nothing to settle the weight in my chest. Iโve faced a lot of things in my life, fights, failures, and loss, but nothing prepared me for this kind of helplessness. When I first stepped into that room, she told me to leave. And for the first time, I actually listened. Because I saw it in her eyes. The anger. The frustration. The pain. She didn't want me there. And maybe... maybe she was right. Maybe I donโt deserve to be in that room with her. But I canโt leave, either.

ALEX The room is too quiet. The kind of silence that feels like itโs pressing down on me, suffocating, heavy with things unsaid. The machines beep in slow, steady intervals, a cruel reminder that life moves forward even when it feels like it shouldnโt.Athena hasnโt woken up yet.I havenโt moved since mum had them take Rayen. I couldn't find the strength to bury my son with his mother still unconscious So I decided to wait until she wakes up so we can figure this out together. I should say something. Do something. But all I can do is stare at her, at the way her eyelashes rest against her cheeks, at how fragile she looks against the hospital bed. I don't want her here. I want her resting in my bed back at home while I rub her feet even though I know it will be a drop in the ocean. My grip tightens around her hand as if holding on will somehow keep her from slipping further away from me. As if it will undo whatโs already been done.I never knew that childbirth was this risky. I ha

ALEX โWhat did you say?โ My eyes lift up to meet the nurse. โDo you know the patient, Sir?โ She asks, her eyes filled with fear. Was this supposed to be a fucking secret?โI asked you a question.โ I grind out. โThe owner of that file drank somethingโฆ something meant to terminate the pregnancy. We were told to find out what could have gone wrong and that was what the results showed.โ The words hit me like a physical blow, stealing the breath from my lungs. The paper crumples slightly in my hand, my vision narrowing in on the damning words printed before me.Athena tried to abort our child.A sharp, cold rage unfurls in my chest, warring with the grief that had already been drowning me.โWhat was it?โ My words are clipped, controlled only by a thread of restraint.โI-I donโt know exactly, but whatever she took, it wasnโt enough to end the pregnancy immediately. It caused complications. The babyโฆโ She pauses, eyes darting around as if afraid to say it out loud.โSay it.โ My voice is

ATHENA No one can understand the pain of losing a child, and you can't even explain the pain. You can only feel it with no words to make those around you understand. As I cried in Alex's arms earlier, I didn't know what else to do. My heart is shattered, and my heart is broken. I carried my son to full term. Went through pain with hope that I will be able to hold him in my arms. Tears keep falling, and I can't stop them. Im watching the sun shine so fiercely when the door burts open, making me look up with a frown.I'm shocked to see it's Alex standing before me. He's angry.At me.But why?The air in the room shifts, thick with tension, suffocating me before he even speaks a word. My body tenses instinctively, a mixture of fear and exhaustion weighing me down as I brace myself for the storm about to hit.Rage incarnate.His green eyes, usually so calculated and cold, are burning with something more. The warmth he had when he told me he is going to call the doctor is nowhere in s

ATHENAThe weight of his words presses down on me like a crushing avalanche, suffocating me with each syllable. His wordsโฆ his accusationsโฆ they pierce through my already fragile heart like daggers.The pain from labor suddenly feels numb as compared to how much he has injured me. โNot his face, and certainly not his grave.โ The pain that erupts in me is unimaginable. I canโt breathe. It feels like the air is stolen from my lungs, the very oxygen I need to survive now out of reach.I look down at the divorce papers heโs just thrown at me, the words on the page blurring as my tears pool in my eyes. My vision goes foggy. Everything around me seems distant, unreal, like Iโm watching this whole scene unfold from far away.Did he really just say that? Did he truly believe that I could kill our son? That I could willingly harm the child I carried for so long?I don't know how much time passes. It feels like a lifetime in this silence, this unbearable stillness.The tension between us, th

ALEX โTake everything away from him. I want his father's company ruined, and his career shattered.โ I instruct Ryan.It's been a week since I processed the divorce papers, and instead of feeling better, I feel even more angry. She easily signed the damned papers for someone who denied what was right in front of her. As if it wasn't enough, Zayan drove her home. What a disgusting sight. โAlex, maybe you need to slow down.โ Noah's annoying voice reaches my ears, and I turn to glare at him.โI'd shut the fuck up if I were you.โ I grind out as I grab my glass of whiskey. I'm not a heavy drinker but fuck, I can use a few right now. I want to ruin Zayan, starting with his father's stupid political career to his damned one as a doctor. โText Ian, I want Zayan fired and if he's still at the hospital tomorrow, we are going to have a problem.โ I grind out before taking another sip. Luca is quietly watching. Wise choice. I donโt need anyone questioning me right now. Especially not m

ATHENA One week laterโฆ.I'm going through the hardest time of my life. Nothing I do seems to close the hole in my chest. Giana and Ariana have been reaching out, but I haven't had the strength to face them. Not since that day when the guards threw me out at the orders of Alexander. I didn't call for them because I was ashamed and that was what Alex wanted. To humiliate me. The cruel bastard wouldn't even let me send my son off. I have no memory of what he looks like and now I don't know where he was buried. I've cried an ocean but none of it seems to be working well for me. I had received an offer to do internship In the outskirts of the city where there has been an outbreak of a virus. So here I am. Waiting for my flight when I hear angry steps walking towards me. I look up to find a face I've never seen before. She looks ready to bite my face off and before I can say anything, she tries to land a slap on my face but I block her. Not today. โYou bitch!

ATHENAโYou're only sitting before me because of the respect I have for you.โ Alex says rudely to Ethan, who seems unbothered by his remark. โPerks of being rich, I believe. So I trust you know why I'm here?โ He responds.Alex leans back in his chair, his eyes focused on me and dancing with so much hate it makes me shift uncomfortably, โNo I don't. Please enlighten me.โ I keep my face impassive, but the weight of Alexโs gaze burns through me. He knows exactly why Ethan Sinclair is sitting across from him, yet heโs playing coy, making me feel small, insignificant-like Iโm not even worth acknowledging.Rose is sitting by my side, and her lips are pressed into a thin line, showing she has so much to say but will let her husband handle it. Ethan, however, is unfazed. He leans back casually in his chair, fingers tapping against the polished wood of Alexโs desk. The room is silent except for the faint ticking of a clock mounted on the wall behind us.โYouโre going to reinstate Zayan,โ

ATHENA The shot rings out.I brace for the pain, for the heat of the bullet tearing through my flesh.But it never comes.Iโm still standing.I'm still breathing.Frozen.My heart slams against my ribs as the world slows around me.And then-โNo!โA body crashes into mine, shoving me hard to the side.I stumble, catching myself against the edge of a table.Thatโs 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.Someoneโs shouting my name, but it sounds like itโs 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. โYouโre bluffing,โ she whispers, her voice cracking beneath the weight of panic. โYou canโt- none of this-this isnโt legal!โI take another step closer and smile. Itโs not kind. Itโs not warm. Itโs the smile of a woman whoโs been pushed too far, whoโs crawled her way through hell and came back with fire in her veins.โOh, sweetheart,โ I say, leaning in until our noses almost touch, โdo I look like I care about whatโs legal? I think you and I already crossed that line. โShe flinches.โ 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, Iโll take it. Every fucking thing attached to your name, I will rip it from you and burn it to ashes.

ATHENAFLASHBACK7 days agoโฆ.โItโs only been two hours. Donโt be so anxious,โ 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 thatโs 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.Iโm pacing the length of Zayanโs 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.โGet the fuck out,โ he growls, low and dangerous. Zayan straightens from where heโs leaning against the desk, glaring at Alex. โItโs my office,โ 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 laterโฆโI hope you secure a good fortune after paying ten million for a ridiculous wedding dress!โ Mum snaps as she adjusts the hem of my robe.โCan we see it?โ she asks, her voice softer this time, almost curious.โNo," I say, flipping my hair over my shoulder. "Itโs not with me. I had to do makeup first.โDad 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 Iโd 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 Iโll be entitled to once the vows are said, and my last name is King.โIn a few minutes," I remind them with a sparkling smile, "Alexander King will be your son-in-law.

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."Iโll just... call Daddy," I say quickly. "Heโll transfer the money right now. Itโs 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 fatherโs number, I press it to my ear, forcing a smile at Alex.He watches me, hands still shoved casually into his pockets, like heโs enjoying every

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. โThank you!โ.When we step Inโฆ. 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. โAlex, really... what is this?โHe doesnโt smile.He doesnโt soften. He just looks at me with those icy green eyes and says, his voice low and serious,โTo be my wife... you need a dress.โHe shrugs like itโs obvious, like itโs the most natural thing in the world. โIsnโt

LEAHโMummy, can we go to a play park today?โ 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.โMummy?โ he says again, his voice higher, whinier.โWhat!โ I snap, whipping around so fast he flinches. I catch the way his lower lip wobbles that stupid, pathetic look he gives when heโs about to cry.The anger simmers hotter under my skin.โWhy are you so damn annoying? Go find Miranda and bother her!โI 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

ATHENAThe breath I didnโt know Iโd been holding finally escapes my lungs. The paper slips from my fingers, fluttering softly to the floor, but I donโt reach for it.I canโt move.Iโm 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.Heโs mine.My baby didnโt die. He didnโt die that day in the hospital like they told me.I wasnโt crazy.I didnโt 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.โIf I say I suspected it before I saw his birthmark, then I must be

ATHENAIโve 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 itโs 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. โYou didn't answer me,โ he says, his voice lower now. My fingers fumble with the zipper of my purse. โRayen asked me to get him something,โ I lie, though my voice wavers near the end. โI was just grabbing it.โOr 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!
