Avery~

I frowned staring down at my phone's blank screen after the call had been disconnected at the other end. It was from my assistant, she called to inform me that an angry man just popped up at my company demanding to see me.

For the sick twist, this angry man happened to be Scott. I inhaled in a deep greedy amount of air down my lungs. It was a good thing I decided to stay at home today. But what could he possibly want? No matter how hard he had tried to talk to me for the past few days, he never showed up at my company or else he knew about my engagement tomorrow.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize when Allison crawled on her fours next to the large swing chair situated at the balcony and also where I was seated.

“Boo!!”

My heart almost leaped out of my chest the moment she yelled. I touched my chest trying to control the fast beat my heart was making. I heard her little giggles and let out a deep sigh.

“Ally..you almost got me” I placed my phone aside on the

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 20_ Drama 2

    ~Avery~I stood before the mirror, my eyes locked on the stranger staring back. The elegant red gown hugged my curves, its silk fabric shimmering in the soft light. My hair cascaded down my back in loose waves, and the diamonds around my neck sparkle like tears of joy.As I gaze at my reflection, a smile spread across my face. Tonight was the night I had chosen to start a new phase in life for my daughter's sake.I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness rushing through my veins. This was just the beginning of everything. I gave myself a reassuring smile trying to force down that tiny part in my heart that was begging me to stop whatever I was about to do.Hell no! I wasn't about to stop now. I've put in so much effort to make this day happen and I was very sure that Stephen was going to be a great partner to me and a great dad to Allison.A brief knock fell on my door and after a second passed by, it opened. I didn't bother turning around to find out who it

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 21_ Anger 1

    ~Avery~What was he trying to do? Only the heavens knew what he was about to do. I pulled my gaze away from him and inched closer to the people surrounding Stephen and I.With each steps he took closer, my heart pounded. I still haven't told Stephen the truth yet and I didn't want him to find out from someone else because if he did, things would be a lot messier.Thud!The little noise stole my attention. I took a glance back at Scott's direction and immediately, my eyes grew large at the sight. Allison!Just few metres away from me was Allison holding an empty glass of wine and in front of her stood an imposing figure with wine dripping down his pants. Stephen excused himself and so did I. We both moved over to the duo who were still in a staring battle. A cold sweat broke out on my forehead. This whole hall suddenly felt stuffy for me. This was what I was so scared about. I never wanted Scott to meet Allison and that was the more reason he never got an invite from me. But yet he

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 22_ Anger 2

    ~Avery~“Stephen…” How much has he heard?It pained me so much to see the look of betrayal in his eyes. There's no one else to be blamed but me. I should have informed him at the earliest but I didn't if not, things would have turn out differently..“Stephen I swear I can explain everything to you-Stephen took a step backward as soon I took a step towards him. He shook his head slowly with a sardonic smile on his lips. It was really hurting me deeply to see him this way. How I wished I could turn back the hands of the clock. I'd have prevented this from happening. He deserved to know the truth.“You think it was fair to keep this away from me? I've always known there was something about the Brandon's that you were hiding. I guess I'm not so lucky” His words broke me. It felt like several knives were being jabbed into my heart at the same time. How could I be so foolish?“I was going to tell you tonight believe me…” My vision was getting blurry as a few balls of water rolled out o

    ~Ella~Was I happy? Yes of course! Even though my intial plan to attack Avery didn't go well last night at least she gave Scott the final blow to his face. He was so torn apart last night to sleep or react to anything.And as always, his doting wife, which was me, was by his side all night long to watch him suffer more in pain. I love Scott a lot but he was just making me look like a fool. If only he had any idea of what deeds I've done so far to get him.“Once we are in…don't say or do any thing” He warned sternly.I turned my head to him and gave a nod. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car leaving me to ponder hard on my thoughts. Taking a glimpse outside of the glass, I peeked at the tall building.The hospital..Who were we here to see? I guess I have to find things out by myself. I opened the door and stepped out. Scott was a few steps away from me and by the way he was in a hurry to go in, I had a feeling we were here to see the one person I hated the most.I ha

    ~Avery~My eyes never left Stephen's face even for a mere second. Although, he was avoiding my stares. I just needed like five minutes to explain everything that I wanted him to know. “Stephen I-He tore his gaze away from mine and placed the white bowl on the nightstand table. He had been feeding me the soup mum made for me but I doubt he'd be doing that again since I brought up the topic.“The doctor said you need plenty of rest” He jerked to his feet. He pulled the white duvet over my feet up to my belly. “Get some rest. I have some work to do” I held his arm before he could walk away. My head tilts to the side while I gaze at him with the most sincerest look on my face.“You deserve to be angry. I kept something so important away from you. But the truth is that I tried to tell you but I couldn't find the courage to do so” I paused a bit to find out if he was ready to listen and when I did, I continued. “I'm sorry Stephen. But you need to know that Scott and I parted ways years

But whatever Avery was doing benefitted me in many ways.Scott was always in need of a shoulder to cry on and who else is best when it comes to this other than your wife? I knew instantly that I needed to make a drastic move after Scott threatened to spill my real identity to everyone.I took a glance out of the glass.

    ~Avery~My eyes narrowed down at Ella who was openly challenging me. There was nothing anyone would say to convince me that Allison wasn't here. Scott couldn't do anything. He just stood there staring at me with the most confused face I had ever seen on a person. His face wasn't about to fool me now. My baby girl was in this house and I'm gonna find her.I turned to the direction of the stairs and started walking towards it slowly. My ankle still hurt a lot but I was more desperate to find my Ally. I didn't know what Scott wanted to do but I heard a deep grunt which made me peek over my shoulder.Stephen was no longer where he was standing. He was holding back Scott from coming to me. I averted my gaze and continued walking away slowly.I've lost count of how many turns I took. The house I thought I was familiar with was now difficult for me to navigate properly. If I remembered correctly, Scott's room was two rooms away from the balcony. That was the same room we both shared as a hu

    ~Ella~My heart almost leaped out of my chest at the sudden crash next to me. I shuddered when Scott grabbed me by the shoulder. He sent cold glares to my face. “For the last time Ella! How did that little girl end up here?!” His voice was hoarse and chilly. With every word he spat out, I could see the anger he was trying to push down.He had been like this since the previous day trying to get an answer from me but I wasn't going to give myself away. That was just like stabbing yourself in the foot.Avery ought to have involved the Cops in this matter by now. That was the reason I brought her daughter back home. If she files a complaint against him, his image would be ruined and tarnished in the face of the public. No one can ever recover completely from that. Not even Scott.He'd eventually learn to hate Avery and her daughter.“How would I know that? I only learnt about her daughter yesterday after she came here. I'm also as confused as you are Scott. Why don't you believe my word
