last update Last Updated: 2025-01-04 22:13:39

~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

  • Dear Ex-husband, I Have Returned!    Chapter 29_ Misunderstanding

    ~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.
