Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 011
~KATERINA~ “ My Dad is gone,” I choked out, painful for me to admit the damn truth because it hurt so fucking much. Without saying a word, Lucas walked to me and pulled me into a suffocating hug and sobs escaped my lips. I wanted to act strong. I wanted to pretend that I could stand the heavy storm but…it was easier thought than done. The wind was too strong swaying me side to side and the thunder struck me where it hurt the most, paralyzing my heart and soul. “ It hurts so much.” I confessed, hugging him back so tightly as if his warmth would give me the comfort that I was craving so badly. My manicured nails dug in his back but he didn't complain. “ I know. I know.” He said in a soft voice, patting my back gently to help me calm down but it seemed as if it didn't help that much because it still hurt. “ He didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye.” I said in between the sobs. Lucas continued to hug me as he patted my back, never letting go. He pulled back and held my

KATERINA My vision blurred as I stared at the mansion, the suitcase in my hand too heavy. “ I’m sorry, mother.” I choked out, my voice merely a whisper. My heart ached inside my chest and my throat was clogged with emotions. I never thought this day would come. The day that I would say goodbye to my home. The place that I once called home now belonged to someone else. Stephanie stood at the balcony, sipping the amber liquid in the glass while she stared down at me, a wicked smile playing at the corner of her lips. My jaw clenched and my grip on the suitcase handle tightened. I still couldn't believe that my dad had given the most important thing to that witch. I have been trying to wrap my head around why he did it but…I couldn't come up with a logical explanation. Why would he leave everything under Stephanie and Monalisa?The memories of the clip and the papers made my head throb. Heaving a deep sigh, I turned around and walked to the gate. My legs felt heavy with each step

~LUCAS~ Closing my eyes, I leaned back on the car chair’s headrest, an exhausted sigh escaping from my lips. I felt exhausted from the one week business trip that I had just come from. I asked my chauffeur to take me to Katerina's apartment when he came to pick me up at the airport because I was so worried about her. “ Lucas?” Katerina's voice echoed in my mind. I recalled how those brown hazel eyes widened and her mouth hung open for a second when she opened the door and found me standing at her doorstep. I couldn't blame her for the reaction that she gave because I understood where she was coming from. I know she never expected to be me. Not even in her wildest dreams. The truth is that, even though things didn't turn out great, deep down I cared about Katerina. When Mr Andrew called me and informed me about what happened with the will, my heart went out to her. I couldn't believe Mr Mackenzie would do such a thing to her daughter. I offered her a job because I heard she

KATERINA I was surrounded by darkness and I could hear the beeping of machines from afar. I knitted my eyebrows, wondering what was going on as I tried to fight the darkness that was haunting me.The pungent smell of disinfectants and medicines hit my nostrils and fear crawled in my heart. I remembered the last time I smelled this kind of scent, things didn't go too well. Slowly, I fluttered my eyelashes to get rid of the blurry vision. I creased my eyebrows when my eyes fully opened, trying to wrap my head around what was going on. I was expecting to wake up on my bed…“ You- you’re awake.” A woman's voice cut through the air and she walked to the side of the bed looking so concerned. I furrowed my eyes as I tried to remember how the hell I got in the hospital and who she was.Panic struck me when I recalled the gunshot and blood oozing from the wound. My hand found its way to my belly, my heart thumping wildly against my ribcage.“ My baby…” I whispered, my voice raspy. A sharp pai

~KATERINA~I heard the movement in the background but I didn't dare to turn my head to check what was happening. Too afraid for anyone to see the broken look in my eyes.Paula carried the plastic chair that she was sitting on and came to sit close to the bed. Her eyes were gentle on me and her face full of concern. She slowly took my hand in hers, and for the first time after days of feeling all alone and isolated. I felt warmth.“ I’m so sorry about my statement earlier. I didn't mean to harm you.” She said, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. I wanted to pull my hand away because she was strange to me and she was getting too close. However, I couldn't bring myself to do so. I wanted to feel more of her warmth and I let her hold my hand for a little longer.“ It's okay.” My voice came out as a whisper, emotions clogged in my throat. I didn't blame Paula for asking me about my family because she was innocent. I understand that she was worried that my family might be looking for me while

KATERINA Paula’s face softened, “ You don't need to worry about the hospital bills.”I creased my eyebrows when I heard her words. How was I supposed not to worry about the hospital bills when I didn't have enough money to take care of it? I know the doctors said that I should avoid stress because it's not good for the babies but…I just couldn't help it. How was I supposed not to worry when there was every reason to worry about? “ I…” “ I’ll take care of the hospital bills. That is the least I can do for you after saving my life.” She cut me short before I could even finish my statement. I was quiet for a while when I heard Paula's word's. I didn't want her to think that I was taking advantage because I saved her life. I know it was a reckless thing to do but the truth is that I don't regret it. Even if it happened again, I would still do the same thing. “ Thank you, but I don't want you to think that I’m taking advantage of the situation because I helped you out. It's not your

LUCAS FOUR YEARS LATER Theme song - You're Mines Still, Yung Bleu ft Drake While searching through files in the study room, a picture dropped on the floor. I reached for it and my breath caught in my throat. It was a picture of a small girl and boy. The girl's brown hazel eyes shine brightly, her tongue stuck out of her mouth playfully.My lips curled up into a smile as I stared at the picture, forgetting what I was looking for. Katerina and I looked so happy and carefree. I recalled the day that the picture was taken as if it were yesterday. Those were the good old days that I craved for sometimes. What happened to us? How did we end up this way? The smile was no longer on our faces and those brown hazel eyes were nowhere to be seen. I stretched my trembling hand to touch Kate’s face on the picture as if doing so would help me feel the physical connection that I have been secretly craving for but she was beyond my reach. The picture was too cold, making a shiver run down my

KATERINASitting on the high-backed chair behind the vintage table, I furrowed my eyebrows, taking a good look at the sketch designs, turning it in different angles to make sure that I didn't miss important details. My concentration was cut short when a knock cut through the air. I granted whoever was knocking permission to enter, my eyes never leaving the sketch sketch book. It was silent inside the office and slowly, I raised my head to check who had walked in and I creased my eyebrows. It was none other than David Fernandez.“ What's wrong?” I inquired with creased eyebrows. I know things weren't good whenever David gave me that look.“ Guess what happened in the fashion market?” My heart jumped in my throat when I heard his words.“ Wha-what?” I asked hesitantly, not sure if I wanted to hear what he had to tell me. A part of me was curious while the other was afraid. What if the newly launched designs aren't performing well in the market? Fear crept in

Chapter 048LUCAS“I can't allow Katerina to take advantage of my mother. You know how much our son loves his grandma. If Katerina sends her to jail, Liam would be the one who would be the most affected. We need to protect our son, Lucas.”I ran my fingers through my hair when Monalisa's words echoed in my head over and over again. It's true Liam loves his grandma so much and there's no doubt that if she goes to jail, he would be affected so much.“I would like you to testify in my favour because you were there with me. You know what really happened.” Katerina’s words re-played in my mind and I couldn't help it but release a frustrated sigh. I recalled the tears in those brown hazel eyes as Katerina fought hard to hold it back. I could see the raw pain that she has been harbouring for years through her eyes.How does someone deal with a situation like this? I have never been caught in such a difficult situation.I have been thinking for hours but…I haven

AUTHORS POVKaterina was expecting Lucas to give other compliments. However, she never expected him to say what he had just said.Taking a deep sigh, she composed herself, a faint smile touching her lips.“Who knows, maybe.” She shrugged nonchalantly, her lips twisting. Katerina turned her hand to check the time on the wrist watch.“I think…we have talked a lot more than I intended. I have an important meeting in the next ten minutes. I need time to prepare since it's a design presentation…”She said politely, reaching for the file.Lucas looked at Katerina for a while then nodded in understanding, playing along. He knows fucking well that Katerina was avoiding the conversation. That's how good he knows her. As much as he wanted to talk more, he tried his best to hold the words back. He didn't want to push harder and complicate things.“I guess…I’ll get going.” He said, raising up from the high-backed chair. Katerina nodded since she didn't have anything more to te
Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 046
AUTHOR'S POVKaterina’s breath caught in her throat when she heard Luca's words. To be honest, she wasn't expecting him to trust her that easily, not even in her wildest dream.Why the change of heart? Why did he believe her without asking questions like he always did? Katerina couldn't help it but wonder, many questions buzzing in her mind.“You…believe me?” She asked hesitantly, not sure if she had heard it right or if her ear was playing a damn game on her. You can't blame Katerina for acting that way because…it was hard for Lucas to believe her in the past, since Monalisa walked in her once peaceful life where they were no doubts. Kate wasn't expecting the conversation to be this smooth either. She was prepared to face the difficulty that was ahead of her. She was ready to accept the fact that Lucas wouldn't believe…The smile on Luca's face broadened when he saw her reaction. He knew damn well that she would act that way when he heard his words.“Yes I

KATERINA “Mr Thompsons, I politely ask you to follow me. You're not allowed to enter this building without Madam boss's permission.” Evan said politely.I swallowed hard when I heard his words. It's true that I had asked them never to allow Lucas, Monalisa, Stephanie or anybody to enter the company without my permission for security purposes.Lucas ignored the security guards words, his eyes were on me as he looked at me worriedly.“It's okay Evan,” I said, the corner of my lips curving into a small smile. Everyone turned their heads to look at me as if I was an alien, never expecting my reply.Jade,my secretary, was surprised too when she heard my reply. I had asked her never to make another appointment with Lucas Thompson ever again.“ Okay ma’am.” Evan nodded in understanding, leaving immediately to give us some privacy.“I’ll go through the document later t

LUCAS“Sure, on my way.” I hung up the phone, shoved it in my pant’s pocket then turned around and walked away.“ Lucas, where are you going? You can't leave the meeting just like that. You know how important this meeting is to the company.” I heard Adam's laboured voice come from behind me. I could tell that he was running to catch-up.It's true the meeting was important to the company and it was our last hope. The investors had agreed to increase the investment in the company. Well, what made me walk away from the meeting imposed too…Adams finally caught up with me and stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I heaved a deep sigh, trying my best not to kick him out of the way.“What's wrong with you man? Don't tell me you're going to cast away all the efforts that we made to convince the investor to increase their investment. What's more important than this meeting?” He asked, clearly pissed off with my behavio

KATERINA It has already been three days since the lawyer visited my house to inform me about the case. He's updating me on the proceedings and everything in between. The first hearing would be about my Dad's death, then followed by the inheritance case a week after.My lawyer told me that…we need to find a way to prove to the court that Stephanie has violent behaviours. I have tried to think of ways to do it but…nothing comes to mind.Stephanie treated me rudely countless times. However, I don't have any solid evidence that proves it. If she didn't sell my home, it would be easy to have access to most of the clips from the CCTV but…she sold my home. I’m pretty sure she did it on purpose to destroy all the evidence that I could use against her. She's so wicked.I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration when I gave it thought. I hated the fact that I felt helpless. I hated even more when the thought of Steph

AUTHOR'S POV Leaning on the balcony’s railings, Stephanie darted her eyes around softly, enjoying the beautiful view of Aurelian city from her penthouse balcony. She was holding a glass of amber liquid in her left hand, slowly sipping on it as the cold breeze brushed through her hair, making the feeling more compelling. She took another sip, closing her eyes gently as the cold liquid hit her guts. ‘Heaven, it feels so good.’ She thought, the corner of her lips curving into a smile. What was there to worry about when life was this good? She has everything that she has ever wished for. She can buy the most expensive wine that is decades old. Buy the most expensive clothes, cars and live in the most expensive apartment in Aurelian city. The current apartment that she’s currently residing in is the most expensive apartment in the city. It's built using rare gemstones and both interior an

KATERINA Standing on the balcony at my apartment, I stared at the tall building which was miles away. It was illuminated dimly under the moonlight. My family's company, now owned by none other than Stephanie. My heart ached inside my chest when I gave it a thought. I recalled how my dad sacrificed everything to build the company. Those late nights that he used to spend in the study room, carefully crafting ways to improve the company's performance so that it could thrive even more. Those early meetings, sacrificing sleep to make sure that the company was doing well, exhausting business trips around the world, sleepless nights, blood and tears had gone to waste.I couldn't believe the once famous company was now struggling, on the verge of bankruptcy. All thanks to Stephanie and her greedy nature. I checked the time on my phone and that's when I noticed missed calls from Lucas. He has been calling me nonstop but I didn't receive any of his calls. I sent the video t
Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 040
AUTHOR’S POV Lucas listened to the clip for the hundredth time, and each time it replayed, he got more furious. The voices were clear, and he could hear Monalisa threatening Katerina. Katerina sent the video to Lucas with the caption “You need to control your wife because she seems out of control. The threats she made are serious and I can sue her for it” it read. The words were in capital and it was clear that Katerina was mad about it. If Lucas didn't have the recording, he would say that Katerina was lying. However, the recording in his hand proved otherwise. His jaw twitched as anger boiled in his veins, the hold around his phone tightening until the screen cracked. “ You can have him all for yourself because I don't care about him!” The words were like ice shards which pierced Luca's heart into a million pieces, leaving it cold and numb. Lucas knows damn well that Katerina let the past go. However , there was this stupid part of him that thought maybe…just maybe, there was a
