Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 13
LEO... I paced in her little apartment. Off-white walls, a queen-sized bed that made a squicky sound once you got in. An unmatched couch. A little fridge and beside it a little kitchen space. A stuffy room with lethargic decor sense, much less a woman's room. It seemed she rarely came here or was too careless to care about these things. Slumping on the couch, I glanced again at the little clock on the east-side wall. Probably the only thing that was placed carefully on the off-white wall. It's past Midnight and she is still not here. Where on earth did she go at this hour? Boyfriend? My brow arched at the thought, yet the idea immediately hushed away. She didn't seem to be one with a Boyfriend, especially the way she behaved so naive around men. I could be wrong, but my senses didn't disappear with my memory, so...Where she could go then? My thoughts were crumbling with no satisfying answer. And much more exhausting was I was too bored to even think of a stranger and her whereabo
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 14
LILY... I lied. I did not have dinner. I am too full of insults and bitterness, lacking my appetite. Even if I let go of today's incident thinking of a regular nightmare, I could not put my mind at ease. I still need to manage 170k in two weeks. Tears of menace finally rolled down my cheeks as I slipped on the cold floor of the bathroom. What would I do now? I have no family or friends to support. My only family was lying in the hospital bed, fighting for her life day and night. What would I do now? Why God is doing this to me? I looked up at the ceiling. Grandma used to say God sees us, hears us and helps us if we choose the right path. Then why is he not helping her? Why is she suffering? She was a good soul, and neither did I do any wrong in life, then why? Why God is taking my loved ones one by one? First mom and now Grandma. What did I do wrong? Please tell me... I cried, demanding an answer from God. Where did I go wrong in life? Can you just give her back to me? Please...

LILY... I stared at the phone for a good long moment until Jason knocked on my desk. "Penny for your thoughts?" I gazed up, blank. Theodore's words were ringing in my head. 'Meet me in the 'SunShine' cafe, I am waiting for you.' A war had emanated in my head, giving me a feeling of being crushed between two different emotions. Jason's brows furrowed slightly, "Lily, are you there?" He lightly tapped on my shoulder. "Ah-yeah, I guess I am." I stood up. "I... Have to go out for some work. So, if you could attend my phone calls... Please." I requested and he nodded, "I will, but are you sure you're fine?" "Ye-eah, I am... Thanks, Jason." Hurriedly leaving the desk, I came out not leaving him a chance to ask further questions that I won't be able to answer. Slowly, I was walking over the sidewalks. Exceptionally slow with my steps. Don't know if I was nervous or reluctant. I am so confused about my own feelings! It took me almost five minutes to reach there while it's highest 2 minu

LILY... "Mr Wilson..." The waitress formally gritted him. His eyes gazed at her once before setting on me. One hand Inserted in pocket, Theo walked toward us. His cold brown gaze was void. It always raised a doubt in me if he was the same person I knew once. How could a person change over a night? Still, the thought haunted me every night. "What happened here?" He asked again. My gaze lowered as I heard the waitress describing the situation... "And so, I wanted to confirm how Miss Maeve would like to pay." She ended and my head lowered more. I could never pay. Even if I sell myself 24 hours a day, I could not! I am broken with no chance of repair. "Alright..." He spoke. "Give us a moment. Once my meeting with her is done, you can take out your loss." He said, shaking me from inside. Probably, this is the end of me. "Sure sir, please have a seat." She escorted us to the previous table and waiters cleared the mess I created there. As soon as we were seated, she asked again, "What

LILY... I stared at the cheque for the 5th time since I returned to the office. The six digit number still managed to tremble me, reminding our conversation in the cafe. Once I agreed to his demand, Theo kept his promise and handed me two cheques signing immediately. One was 450 thousand which was paid as compensation and the other one was 250 thousand, which I kept with myself. This is for grandma. Honestly, I don't feel much humiliated anymore while managing the money for Grandma. I would simply apologise to Alyssa after cutting all the ties with that family. But, that could wait a little. I have more important work to do. Picking up my phone, I called Dr. Cane. He picked up after a few rings. "Yes, Miss Lily?" His voice came over and I lightly greeted him. "Doc I called to inform you that, I managed the money for Grandma's surgery and I want it to happen as soon as possible." "That's great, Miss Lily. I will inform the surgeons and once the committee decides, I will inform yo
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 18
LILY... I stared up at him. His eyes were on those men. At this point, I am not sure whether to trust a man or not. Because in my life, men suck. "Come on, take her," Leo said again, pushing me a little forward. He was holding my hand now, so even if I wanted to run, I couldn't! "Leo! What are you doing!?" I hissed at him, trying to withdraw my hands from him. However, he ignored my words, staring at those three men. "That's what we're talking about." The blonde said and stepped forward. My heart dropped. Could my day be any worse than this? Struggling to remove his tight grip and kept failing. Tears of shame rolled down my cheeks. "Ple-ease, Leo..." I pleaded, but his eyes were coldly stayed on the man who almost touched me. Just when he was about to touch me, I was jerked back to Leo's hard chest and felt his one hand holding me tightly and at the same time a groan pierced through the air, freezing me there. For a second, the world seemed to stop before angry shouts came our w

LEO... Is it even a time to go out? Didn't she remember what happened this evening? Fuck! I scratched my neck, feeling disturbed. Kept watching time again and again. It's almost Midnight and that woman is out of home! Does she even care for her security for once? I am stressed! More because I am worried about her when I shouldn't be! I mean, she is practically a stranger, but still, I am drawn to her. What happened this evening was proof. I have no memory, no particular known situation nor I am aware of my skills. I should have stayed away from those men and the most I could do was run away with her when she proposed. But, I didn't. My blood boiled when I saw the fear and helplessness in her eyes. It felt like I could rip the world apart who dared to hurt her. Those hazel eyes were pleading for salvation. In that moment something stirred in me and I wanted to keep her safe. I don't know if those guys were her enemy or some random teasers. Whoever they were, they shouldn't cross m
Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! CHAPTER 20
LILY... Rushing out for evidence at any hour was a part of my job. I accepted it as a part of my life because once I dreamt of becoming a crime reporter, I knew every day would be a new challenge for me. When Grandma used to live with me, she used to nag always for my safety and I used to kiss her cheeks and rush out with a smile. Since she was admitted to the hospital, no one did her part for me. Tonight was the same or it could be, if Leo didn't show concern for me before I left the house. Though I was indifferent at that moment my heart convulsed with a warm feeling I had never tasted for more than a year. He was a stranger who somewhat forced into my life. A bit annoying but harmless. As a woman, staying with him under the same roof didn't give me insecurity. Though I would never admit this in front of him, I could not deny the fact either. I don't know who he is, where he came from or what happened to him. But Leo is a gentleman. A woman's instinct could never fail when it's
