CHRISTIAN

Life has been unfair to me since I have known. A glimmer of hope that peeked at the corner of my bruised soul was unfortunately short-lived.

Her calling me 'pa-pa' twisted my heart, bathing me in unimaginable anguish that had left me undone.

I was reluctant to leave that child, but I realized I was not suited for the role. Those messages served as a painful reminder that my aspirations are merely my own desperate longings, holding no significance or place in Veronica's life.

When I left, I may have seemed a cruel and selfish man, but inside, I burned with anguish. Every fibre of my being screamed to return to her and hold her in my arms, but I had no choice.

Veronica's last call left me feeling uneasy. I longed for her to intervene. I wished she had said, "Christian, please don't go. We need you, she needs you,"—then I would have defied the world to stand by them.

However, she did not, and that was a deceptive reality that struck me forcefully once more...

    VERONICA"Go to sleep, baby." I gently kissed my son's forehead and tucked him in with the quilt. "Mommy will be leaving now, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning.""Mom—" Zeon got me to sit back down next to him."Yes, love?"A slight frown furrowed his otherwise flawless brow, his expression hardening. "Aunt Celine—" he began, causing my blood pressure to rise."What did she do? Did she hurt you somehow?" I asked impatiently, frowning.He shook his head, "nothing— she's gone." he mumbled. "Papa sent her back to London, so— you can visit me more often." he whispered."Oh!" I gasped in surprise; I hadn't anticipated that. He sent her back? I wonder why.Zeon nodded slowly. "Yes, Mom," he said. He pressed his lips tightly, as if hesitating, but then said shyly, "Actually— Papa didn't like her."My eyes fluttered rapidly as the information overwhelmed me. I bit my lip, gently stroking my son's head. "Perhaps we shouldn't discuss these adult matters," I softly suggested. "Le

    VERONICA"What?" I gasped, abruptly sitting upright in bed, my eyes widening in response to his statement.I must have misheard, didn't I? Well— I certainly didn't!"Yes! They have withdrawn their claim, Vero!" he exclaimed once more. "Their legal counsel contacted me this morning and abolished the notice; I have the dismissal paperwork in my hand right now.""Wow!" The unexpected news left me momentarily stunned."It appears your conversation with him was productive, Vero. Mr. Wolfe does not seem to be as unfeeling as we thought." He stated."A discussion?" I questioned, momentarily taken aback by his assertion.Hmm, didn't you say yesterday that you would talk to him? Did you forget already? He questioned, and then the bell rang— last night. I intended to discuss the matter with him, but— a pang of discomfort and penance crossed me as the scene of him, and Celine floated within me.With a gulp, I shook my head and explained, "I haven't had the opportunity.""Oh!"

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 28 The astonishing realization.

    CHRISTIANI saw my son happily leave the villa with Blake. He's off to spend another day with his mom and— half-sister. Fuck! I can't stand that word "half" these days. I find this term quite tedious and painful in unexpected ways, yet ironically, I must persevere, thanks to my ex-wife.Before leaving the villa, Zeon turned to me and gave a farewell wave, to which I offered a strained smile in return. I couldn't allow him to see my distress.At times, I feel a pang of envy for my son's ability to so readily forgive his mother for abandoning him and to form a bond with her. I am envious of his ability to so readily accept Cadence as his own.He deeply cares for and protects Cadence. I realized this last night when I checked on him and found him sitting on his bed. Initially, I thought it might be due to Veronica's departure, but then he asked me to help apprehend those who harmed his mother and sister.He practically begged me, He said he'd promised Cadence he'd help them...And that a

    VERONICAI splashed water on my face and looked into the mirror. Staring back at me was a beautiful woman... Her beautiful cerulean eyes, smooth olive skin, and raven hair had been admired by many. However, since she had understood love, she had only admired one—her ex-husband and the father of her children.However, life changed, people moved on, and she remained separated from her husband for three years, with a delusion of forgetting him, until he re-entered her life, turning the tables. Now, the woman in the mirror is confused and agonized.She knows she should just move on. Perhaps a new chance with someone better, someone who will reciprocate her feelings, but can she love again when her ex-husband still rules her heart?Sigh—I raised my hand and wiped the glass, causing it to become blurry. I don't want to look at myself, I only feel pity for such a woman.After donning my silk robe, I returned to my room. It's past midnight, so naturally Zeon and Cadence were both sleeping so

    VERONICAMy eyes widened, and my heart raced uncontrollably. My head spun from the drunken kiss.I can taste the alcohol in his breath. His tongue slowly licked my lips, sending shivers down to my core.No-no! This is not happening! I-I can't fall for this again!"Ch-chris—" I tried to push him away from me, only to be pinned down by him more. "Wh-at a-are yo-u do-oing." I muttered breathlessly once his lips nibbled my neck."Shh." He nuzzled my face. One of his hands held my hands above my head, and the other roamed my body."Veronica..." His sensuous whisper lingered in my ears, making my breath catch... His way of calling my name evoked memories of our shared past. He used to do this always when he made love to me."Chri-istian..." Overwhelmed with emotion, I found myself unable to suppress the tears welling up. Closing my eyes, I felt a sense of defeat and uncertainty, and my strength began to fail.I longed for him deeply, both physically and emotionally. I yearned for his affect

    VERONICAI don't recall falling asleep. I was certainly exhausted by Christian. While I hesitate to admit it, I enjoyed it. The night evoked many past memories and intensified my emotions, reaffirming that despite my efforts, my heart still yearns for him, that I did and still do love him...I awoke with a pleasant soreness throughout my body, it flet as if I were crushed by a truck the entire night. This feeling— it flutters my heart unpremeditated.As a doctor, I failed to heal my own heart and let it flow at the risk of being shattered again and again.Fluttering my eyes open, I saw a bright sunbeam shining through the window and onto my face. "Mmghm," I groaned softly, but then, I froze, as I felt a strong, muscular presence behind me.Soon, his large hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his firm, masculine chest. My lower back touching his lower front, making me gasp inwardly as I felt his morning excitement poking my thigh

    CHRISTIANHer appearance was strikingly beautiful, reminiscent of the Veronica I recall—shy, blushing, and above all, innocent.I couldn't help my gaze lingering over her body, completely bare and sensitive under that flimsy robe. Just the thought of it tightened my body beyond limits.I swallowed the desire that was stirring within me like a storm and suppressed my intention to pounce on her again. Can you blame me, though? She's the woman I love. Even after everything that happened between us, I never stopped loving her. And when I realized she hadn't remarried and found her in my arms, I couldn't resist.And I devoured her, the way I have always wanted. I didn't hold back last night, and perhaps I couldn't either. Something within me just unleashed the inner beast I was keeping to myself.Her scent, her closeness, her delicate figure, her soft, smooth skin, her moans, everything had me spellbound last night, and I just lost myself. It may

    CHRISTIANI frowned at Celine's unexpected arrival. "What are you doing here?" I inquired suspiciously.Despite my evident displeasure, she approached me hastily, her hands on my arms as she examined me with palpable anxiety. "I was so worried about you, Christian!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling. "I couldn't sleep all night, thinking of you!"I glared at her, about to push her hand away when she clutched her nails on my shirt and whispered, "Do you not want Denstones's land?" A threatening look flashed in her eyes that immediately made me pause.Approaching me, she closed the distance, inquiring solicitously, "Are you alright, my dear?" Her hand gently touched my cheeks.I briefly observed the children; they appeared surprised and bewildered. Cadence, due to her age, remained oblivious to the unfolding events, but Zeon's evident displeasure and disappointment deeply affected me, yet I feel quite helpless in this situation."I am well,"

    CHRISTIANAs soon as I entered my villa with Zeon, Mom hurried toward us and hugged him. "My baby, you came!" she exclaimed. "Come on, Nana has prepared all your favourite dishes.”Zeon blinked, hesitantly watching me as he evidently fell into a dilemma.“He has eaten already.” I said blankly.Mom’s face darkened immediately, “didn't I ask you—”"Zeon, go to your room," I instructed, my tone conveying a serious and firm demeanour.He immediately obliged, and his governess followed him in haste. Once they were out of my sight, I turned to Mom. “Yes, you wanted to have dinner with him, but they had an early dinner today. Now what? Do you want to force him to have dinner again to satisfy your ego?” I couldn’t help the chilliness in my tone.Mom gasped, her eyes widening. “I- whe-en did I say that?” A frown formed on her face. “Christian, can you stop being mean to me and making me a villain when I was only trying to protect my family?”"Mom, just leave me alone and stop trying to protect

    VERONICAFoolish, Foolish Veronica. Keep getting hurt by the same man repeatedly, and yet, no shame…For years, I have considered Christian a protective father. Pressing a stone on my heart, I gave up my rights, knowing Christian would love his son above all else, or at least, I thought so.I swallowed the poisonous ache of the separation from my son and lived in a burden, thinking, at least my son was having a good life with his father. His father loves him to the fullest that no one— no one can intervene.Oh, Veronica, how wrong you were.In the end, I only realized that to Christian, Celine remained above all.Proof? Well, it's right in my hand. The mastermind behind both accidents turned out to be her, his beloved woman.I turned around to face Christian. My gaze met his indifferent, cold eyes, and suddenly, some events became clear as water…His delay in the investigation, his sudden arrival in my home just when William had taken part in the investigation, his outburst, his pains

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 48 Why? Why is it him?

    VERONICAI stared at the cold, selfish man standing right before me. His blazing gaze met mine, and for a moment, I was startled. They were burning, accusing, and—hurt.A displeased frown shrivelled my brows as I questioned, “what are you doing here?”Christian, however, didn't reply to my query; instead, he stepped forward, aggressively violating the distance between us, and stopped right before me when my breasts were almost touching his sturdy chest.His delating gaze swept across my face with a hard glare, “why?” He asked suddenly. “Why did you involve him in my children's lives?”I gasped at his words at first, unable to understand. But soon, I realized who he was referring to: William Denston seems to be his problem.So, he knows. Fair enough, but he has no right to question me.My expression hardened as I raised an eyebrow at him, folding my arms across my chest. “And who are you to judge?”His jaw clenched, and his face tightened. Blue eyes dilated with darkness. He seemed abo

    CHRISTIANThe next two days felt like a torment. At home, Mom and Celine haunted me as if they were my sworn enemies. At work, I faced new trouble with the Denstones; it seemed they were trying to get back at me since I had upset Mrs. Denstone, and not to mention Veronica, who was constantly in my thoughts. She was never tired of running around in my fucking head!Nevertheless, amidst the various challenges, only the accident investigations demonstrated measurable progress… In the last two days, we found some relations between the two incidents. It seemed it was done by the same men who abducted Veronica. The black Toyota they used in that accident had been seen near the abandoned warehouse where Cadence and Veronica had been kept.Aside from that, it was found outside the city area and has been thoroughly checked. The fingerprints matched those of the kidnappers.In the further investigation Blake did, it came out that those men were the illegal immigrants. They weren't actually traf

    CHRISTIANI frowned as I gazed at the survey report. “So, it was all planned?” I inquired, a surprised murmur escaping me."Yes, sir," Blake replied.Tapping on the table, I turned pages of the report one by one, going through it cautiously.“A black Toyota appeared to have been trailing Dr. Granger for two days, though she may not have noticed. In fact, our assigned security detail following her failed to detect it as well. The vehicle had been parked in her neighborhood lot for two days, and the driver's face was partially visible in the security camera footage.” Blake explained."Hmm," I hummed, staring at a photo of a man. It was taken from the surveillance camera footage. His face was covered by a cap; almost nothing was visible. "But why?" I questioned myself. "Why would someone follow Veronica?”The memories of her abduction with Cadence flashed across my mind. Were both incidents related? Were those men going after her again? If so, then why hurt Zeon? Were they trying to scar

    VERONICAAfter taking a deep breath, I knocked on William's door in the Exclusive VIP section.“Enter.” came his cold voice that sent a chill down my spine. For a moment, I considered turning around and leaving, but—the images of my children made me stand upright.Rounding my lips, I let go of a breath, “You can do it, Veronica.” Muttering to myself, I put on my best smile and stepped inside.“Beautiful, you’re here…” William greeted me with a charming smile. Seeing him in person now, I felt rather awkward all of a sudden. It's not easy for me. After all, he is someone I would like to avoid, but alas! The irony of my fate had brought me just before him.“Hey…” I muttered, pressing my lips together, not sure how to proceed. However, he made it a little easier.“Come sit, let's talk.” He suggested, and I obliged, settling into the chair beside his bed. It seemed someone may have been here before me.“Uh—Thanks for giving me a chance to be heard.” I said gratefully.He gazed at my face,

    VERONICAChristian approached us, or more accurately, Zeon, with haste. Overwhelmed, Zeon embraced Christian in a warm hug, as if they were reuniting after a long separation.I admit, I felt jealous, and my jealousy intensified when Cadence whispered "pa-pa" while looking at Christian. Seeing her longing gaze and desire for his affection shuddered me, but it is something I accepted long ago. To Christian, Cadence will never be his daughter. And Cadence would grow up knowing her father had left her before her birth.Call me selfish, but the cruelty I faced in that family, from Christian, and the way they forced me to stay apart from my son means I can never be kind again. Letting them know Cadence's true identity would only bring misfortune to me and shatter my last thread of hope. Not to mention that now he is planning to have a child with Celine…Fuck! That hurts!But, hold on—a frown creased my brows as I stared at Christian. How did he manage to come here? I mean, I didn't inform h

    VERONICAFor a moment, I felt as if my world had ceased, and everything around me seemed to freeze as I watched my car tilt to the side.Cadence's fearful cry and the commotion of people burned within me, breaking me into tears of fright and loss. "ZEON!" An earth-shattering scream reverberated into the air; it was me, my anguished wail, as I felt the weight of my misfortune.“No-no-no! Please help!” I cried out, rushing toward the car with my crying daughter in my arms. “Oh God, please! Zeon!” I was shaking as I tried to look inside. “someone please help!” I cried out again.I watched my son, grabbing onto the seat tightly, trying not to slip down to the crushed side. “Zeon!” I called for him.“Mom!” His broken voice rang in my ear, making my tears flow even harder. “He-elp me.” He whispered.Meanwhile, a few people gathered there, including a police officer. “Calm down, ma'am. Please step aside and let us help him; getting too close could hurt your daughter as well.”“Mo-om, my ha-a

    VERONICAI pinched my brows as I gazed at the files before me. My few days' absence had blessed me with a pile of work.Sigh—welcome back to the busy days, Veronica. Murmuring inwardly, I pulled them close and went through them.The entire day was hectic, with countless patients, new checkups, and mentoring interns; everything kept me extremely busy.Following a busy afternoon, I was only able to take a lunch break. While dining in the cafeteria, I video-conference with Zaya to connect with my children. They were engrossed in a newly released superhero film and appeared to be enjoying themselves. Therefore, I felt happy and refreshed to see their smiling faces.After hanging up, I had just finished my meal when—“Doctor Granger, Doctor Hurt has requested your presence in the exclusive VIP section.” The announcer’s voice boomed in the room, almost choking me.I gulped a mouthful of water, clearing my throat and patting my chest. I frowned, exhaling a long breath. The exclusive VIP secti
