LUCAS“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

~KATERINA ~ "Wha-what are the results doctor?" I inquired as soon as the doctor entered the waiting room holding test results. I shifted uncomfortably in the chair, my heart pounding wildly against my ribcage as though it would escape from my chest the next second. " Congratulations Mrs Thompson, you're pregnant!" The doctor said with a big smile on his face. My eyes widened when I heard his words, " Re-really doctor?" I stuttered, not sure if I had heard him right or if my ear was playing some dump trick on me. It felt surreal. I have been waiting to hear those words escape the doctor's mouth for like forever. If it was a dream, I didn't want to wake up from it. I wanted to dream forever because the reality was too harsh and my fragile heart couldn't take it anymore. " It's real, Mrs Thompson. I have run a few tests and all gave the same results. Here are the medical reports, see for yourself." The doctor handed me the test papers. Taking in a nervous breath, I stretched my s

~KATERINA~ My hands shook uncontrollably and my legs felt weak. I sat on the chair, tears burning in my eyes. I blinked countless times to make sure that I wasn't dreaming. If it was a dream, I wanted to wake up from it. Sadly, I wasn't dreaming… ' Is this the reason why Lucas was acting cold towards me?' I couldn't help but question myself. I tried to recall if Lucas and I ever talked about getting divorced but it didn't ring any bell in my head. Why? Why was he divorcing me? Why did he decide to divorce me now when I needed him the most? Tears streamed down my cheeks because I couldn't hold it back anymore. My phone on the table dinged but I didn't care to check what the message was all about. I continued to stare at the divorce papers as tears rolled down my cheeks. What about the innocent soul growing inside my belly? What will I tell the baby when she/he asks about his daddy? More tears streamed down my cheeks when I gave it a thought. I subconsciously wrapped my hand aro

~KATERINA~ " Monalisa?" I asked in surprise, trying to jog my memory. I couldn't remember talking to Monalisa or telling her anything before her wedding. Even though four years have passed by, I still remember every tiny detail as if it happened yesterday. " I'm happy for you, Monalisa. I wish you all the best in your marriage with Lucas." Those were the words that I told her with tears in my eyes. I couldn't remember telling her anything else. " You thought I would never find out about it? Monalisa showed me the message that you sent to her. Threatening her that if she gets married to me, you would harm our baby. That's why she ran away to protect our son just like any woman out there would do in case someone threatened the life of their baby." My eyes popped out when I heard Luca's accusations. " Surprised? You thought I would never find out?" He asked, the corner of his lips curving into a bitter smile. " I never sent a text message to Monalisa the night of her wedding. She to

~LUCAS~After leaving the room that I shared with Katerina.I headed to the guest room to have some alone time. I couldn't find it in my heart to share the same space with Katerina after finding out what she did four years ago.It felt like I didn't know her anymore. She felt like a stranger to me even though I have known her my whole life. All I wanted was the truth from her but she was still lying on my face and that made me feel like a fool. Why was she denying the truth while all the evidence was pointing at her?I thought Katerina cared about me, or so I believed. In all the people in this world, I never expected that Katerina would hurt me the most. We grew up together, played together and did many things together. We were like twins even though we didn't share the same parents. Katerina knows the pain that I have gone through while growing up. She knows me more than I know myself. She has been there for me in the darkest days of my life, giving me hope and encouraging me not to

~KATERINA~ I flickered my eyes softly to get rid of the blurry vision. My eyes felt sore and so was my throat and stomach. I looked around, trying to recollect the memories of what had transpired to my exhaustion. My heart twisted inside my chest as though someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball and it was becoming hard for me to breathe when reality hit me. I was laying on the bed, wearing the same red dress. The side of the bed was empty and cold, reminding me that I was officially divorced from Lucas. I stared at the brown envelope which was laying on the bedside table, the proof that it was over between Lucas and I. He didn't come back to our room at night after he left. He spent the night in the guest room. I waited for him, thinking that he would change his mind and come back to me so that we could talk but…. I was disappointed instead. I couldn't remember how I fell asleep. The only thing that I recalled was wrapping my hands around my belly protectively as tears continued

~ KATERINA~After giving Lucas the divorce papers and resignation letter, I left his office and headed to my office which is located not that far from his. Lucas told me that he will send me the alimony money in my bank account since he knows my bank details. However, I told him there was no need for him to send me the money. He asked me if I was sure I didn't need the money and I told him I was sure about it. It's not that I didn't need the money or something. The reason why I turned it down was because I didn't want Lucas to think I was after his money. I know that was a trap for me because he thinks I agreed to marry him as Monalisa's substitute bride because he was rich. The truth is, I didn't care if Lucas was a billionaire when I agreed to the marriage.I accepted to marry him because I loved him. It was not because he's the C.E.O of Thompson Fashion company. It broke my heart to learn that Lucas thought I had a hidden agenda. It broke my heart into a million pieces. Monalisa

~KATERINA~ Swallowing the lump down my throat, I turned around and came face to face with Monalisa, my stepsister. She had a triumphant smile on her face because she knew fucking well that she had already won like she always does. She always gets it her way and this time it was no different. My heart twisted inside my chest as though someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball and it was becoming hard for me to breathe. My lips curved into a smile because I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of defeat. " Hello dear sister, long time no see." I said, a big smile playing on my face. I shifted my eyes to the little boy besides Monalisa. The boy looked like a young version of Lucas when we were toddlers. He had crystal blue eyes and pitch black hair like Luca's, reminding me of how he used to look in the old days. The little boy looked at me innocently. When Lucas informed me that he had a child with Monalisa, I didn't believe him. I thought that he was looking for a way to an

~KATERINA~It was silent on the other end of the call for a second before the phone began to ring. I could feel my own uneven heartbeat in my ear. The phone rang once, twice, thrice then the person on the other end picked up. My breath caught in my throat when I heard scrambling of papers on the other side.“ Sweetie pea.” My throat tightened when I heard my dad's coaxing voice. Was he drunk or something? I couldn't remember when was the last time that he called me that. It was probably when I was five or six after mom's death.Tears burned in my eyes and my vision became blurry. What happened? Why was he warming up to me after being distant for years?I couldn't help it but question myself. My father became distant after my mother's death. Just like me, something broke inside him. It seemed as though my mother had gone with all the happiness. He lost himself in work as an escapism to the harsh reality. My stepmother and Monalisa took advantage of it and always made me look bad in my

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

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
