Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned! Chapter 25_ The big move
~Ella~If there was anything I loved the most, it was to see Scott suffer because of Avery's sake. My poor dumb husband, I felt some kind of pity for him. 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. It was a little bit difficult to spot Ken in the midst of several kids running around while they waited for their respective parents to pick them up. Knowing fully well the kid I gave birth to, I instantly assumed that be must be at a corner with his little gang of friends bullying another weaker kid like he always does.I've received countless of reports about him concerning his naughty ways, I wasn't proud of it but I couldn't lay a hand on my precious boy or scold him. So things had to be that way as long as no o

~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

~Avery~All throughout the night I kept turning and tossing on my bed. My mind drifting back to the encounter with Scott. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake off this unsettling feeling creeping in at the back of my mind.What does he really want? Was he trying to tell me something? But what more could he say to me other than what I had witnessed myself? There was no point giving him a chance to speak when all he does is to tell lies.“Get out of my thought Scott” ***The next morning, I woke up to the sound of little whispers next to me. My eyelids fluttered open. The view that came before my face was blurry but I could make out two figures peering at me intently with little giggles at intervals.“She’s waking up!” My eyes cleared up in an instant. I sat up with a deep crease on my forehead. Before me stood Allison and Stephen. Only the heavens knew how long they have been standing there and watching me sleep. I tucked my face down into my bent elbow to wipe off any trace o

~Avery~Ah! My head hurt so much. I lazily scanned my surroundings which appeared to be a basement to a building. I tried to move but suddenly realized that I was strapped to a chair. I couldn't scream either because a tape was on my lips.Realizing that I've just been kidnapped, panic struck within me. Different thoughts ran through my mind on who could be responsible and why? But it all draws down to one answer.I tried moving my wrists against each other as they were tied behind the chair I occupied. This position wasn't favorable to my wrist or feet strapped to the chair.I rocked back and forth on the wooden chair to make some screech on the ground, that way it would attract whoever kidnapped me.Not too long, I heard a firm and slow footstep approaching me. The nearer the sounds drew closer to me the more I was scared for my life. What if they kill me? There wasn't any sane thoughts left in my head anymore.A screeching sound against the ground accompanied the footstep approach

~Avery~ My brain shut down completely as his lips lingered on mine. He must have noticed my frozen state which made him pull away. I was too shocked to speak or blink. A part of me wanted this to last longer. That selfish part in me craved his touch desperately. “I'm not sorry about that. You've always been mine from the beginning” I sucked in a deep breath. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as his eyes fell back on mine. This was wrong, I couldn't afford to make the same mistake again by trusting Scott. The world already knew me as Stephen's soon to be bride. I couldn't put his reputation on the line like that, Stephen was one of the closest people to me. Without him, I wouldn't have made it this far. “I've already started a life with Stephen and I'll only advice you to focus on your life with Ella and your son because few weeks from now, Stephen and I will be getting married” I saw his expression changed from a pitiful gaze to a very annoyed look. He stood up from the chair

~Avery~My head fell on the steering wheel processing everything that happened in that basement minutes ago. Scott knows about Allison and I've got this strange feeling that he'll be more persistent than he was before.So this was the truth Scott had kept away from me all these years. I was finally able to connect the few dots together. I broke down into tears. I allowed the salty water flow down freely. Everything I had always pictured about Scott was wrong. He was still the same person I loved in the past.“You could have said something to me” I choked out amidst tears.I lost count of how long I've been in that position bawling my lungs and eyes out until a knock fell on the windshield. Jerking up, I wiped my tears away with the back of my palm before I raised my head up. The figure was a bit blurry but I was able to make out Stephen's figure.It was already dark outside, Stephen's worried face only made me anxious and uncertain about the future. Wiping every single tear stain so

~Ella~I couldn't remember how long I've been staring at the clock since Scott suddenly left home this morning. My mind has been racing trying to guess what the matter might be.His phone was out of reach too. I tossed my phone back to the bed in frustration. The least he could have done was to inform me about his whereabouts.“He has been ignoring me ever since that Avery returned back to the country!” Our marriage wasn't an ideal one but the whole world saw it as one. And I'm not going to sit down and watch Avery ruin the relationship that I've been trying to build for the last five years.I was still pondering on my wandering thoughts when the door flew open startling me out of my skin. I turned on my heels in surprise ready to vent on whoever that it was. But I was damn speechless to see Scott standing before the corridor with a dark gaze.“Scott…”It was almost impossible for Scott to show up at my room despite the fact that we've been living together for some years now.

~Avery~There was no reason why I shouldn’t be mad at Scott right now. One way or another all my problems and troubles had everything to do with him. If he had kept that self proclaimed bitch of his in check, I'd have been free from the dangers lurking around.I returned my attention back to Ray who was now gradually closing up the space between us. It felt like I was having a bad dream and I might wake up soon. There was no way I'd have thought that I'll be in the same room with this notorious killer. Wherever Ray was, Ethan was sure to be present there but surprisingly, he was nowhere to be found here. “Look, I don’t care about who or what you are. I just want my daughter. She has nothing to do with Ella and I affair. She’s an innocent and sweet child” Ray looked me in the eye and gave a loud snort. He walked past me slightly brushing his shoulder past me. The small collision was strong enough to make me take a step backwards. My head faced the ground in despair.“Brother did you
Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned! Chapter 37_ I like you...1
~Avery~The drive to the address the unknown man sent to me was a six minutes drive from my office. I peered out of the glass staring at the old and abandoned looking building. I guess this was the place. The grass shrubs looked totally unattended to giving it an eery looking vibe.I desperately wanted to know the bastard who was brave enough to lay a finger on my daughter. The second I get to meet him, I'll grace him with a tight slap. The only enemy I could think of right now was Scott. I hated Scott for what he did or what I thought he did but I knew he couldn’t do such a thing especially when he already found out that Allison was his daughter.Inhaling a deep breath, I unfastened my seatbelt and attempted to push the door open when my phone buzzed loudly. I picked it out of my purse and scrolled through the new text message.‘Leave your phone and purse in the car. You have three minutes to get in’My anger only surged. There was a very high chance that I might not make it out ali
Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned! Chapter 36_ Gunshot
~Stephen~I haven’t put in so much thought when it came to Avery’s foster sister Stella, but now that she was before me I was finally able to see certain similarities that they both shared. Or I was only imagining things right now, Her backview could be mistaken for Avery with the way she was dressed. Now that I recall, I don't remember Avery and Stella having the same things in common.They were two poles apart. Even the same cologne? Maybe I was missing something here. We never go along with each other’s words for reasons best known to us. She made that annoying eye roll at me the moment our eyes met.“I’m so elated to see you too” Her mocking response caused my brows to arch. She looked completely different from her former self. It felt like she was trying to be someone else, Avery perhaps.“Are you suddenly broke that you now have to piffer your sister’s perfume?”I saw her brows furrow before she started making her way to me in large steps. For a second I was left in a trance wa
Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned! Chapter 35_ Dark Clouds 2
Scott~ Hating Stephen was one thing but accepting to meet up with him was another thing entirely, we never liked each other and I was very certain that it would remain that way for as long as possible. It was best if we talked things out right now and also set some boundaries.I couldn’t get over the fact that Avery had agreed to marry the joker himself. I looked around the open air cafe in search of him. I saw him sitting a few distance away from the few people around. He was deeply engrossed in his phone or he was just trying to make me feel small by pretending to not see me.Ridiculous!I took my time to walk up to the table he reserved. I suddenly had the urge to walk up to that table and flip it over. No one gets to steal my woman away from me.I pulled out one of the chairs, dragging it on the ground purposely to make my presence known even though he knew that I was around.Unbuttoning my suit, I took a seat and picked up one of the menus lying on the table. I brought it over
Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned! Chapter 34_ Dark Clouds 1
~Avery~“Are you sure you want this big sis?” I stopped on my tracks and turned to Tina who has been trying to talk me out of my decision to marry Stephen this weekend.She wasn't the only one who wasn't satisfied by my decision. Stella was also against this marriage and so was a part in my heart.But I can't help it. Scott's persistence was already getting out of hands and this was the only solution I could think of.“What do you mean by that? I'm old enough to make decisions right? Look Tina. You're too young to understand what is really going on. You should be happy for me Sis-“No!” Tina said in a firm tone. Her thin brows furrowed deeply “I'm not going to be present at your wedding. Stephen is a good guy but Scott is great and the best for you. Have you even allowed him explain himself -I raised a finger to stop her from speaking. I could feel my face tighten up as I took a step forward.“Have you been meeting up with Scott behind my back?” “You’re making a mistake Avery!”.T
Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned! Chapter 33_ Mafia Lines 2
~Scott~For more than five years I've been known as the infidel husband who couldn't keep his lower part in check. Everyone saw me as the villain most especially Avery who still thought that I really cheated on her with Ella.But the truth was that Ella was my older brother's widow and also my ex-girlfriend. We dated for two years during highschool before she broke up with me. A week after our split up, she hooked up with greg.My brother Gregory was known for his careless lifestyle and unfortunately for him, he was murdered. Perhaps he knew something or saw something that he shouldn't have seen or heard. I've tried my very best to know who the killer was but it led to a dead end. If the killer was still alive, Ella and her baby would never be safe. Whoever killed Gregory was coming for Ella and her unborn baby as per her words and I couldn't sit back and watch my sister-in-law and her baby die just like my brother. And till date, I have never witnessed an attack on either Ella or
