VERONICA

My steps halted as I hurriedly turned and stepped around a corner, hoping they would pass without seeing me.

However, they did not walk past; instead, they entered the canteen. Thankfully, they have not yet noticed me, as they are both engrossed in conversation.

They paused near the counter, and the woman with Celine ordered a bowl of porridge before turning to Celine. From my vantage point, I could only see her face, but I could hear their conversation clear enough.

"Stop wiping for that useless man Celine, he is not worth your tears!" The woman sounded frustrated.

Oh, is she crying? I blinked, trying to see Celine's face, but in vain. Who is she crying for, though? I wondered in my head.

"Oh, please don't say that, Emily," Celine said, her voice trembling. "Christian isn't what you think; he loves me very much. It's just—"

"Just gotten whipped by his ex-wife. Are you going to say that to me now?" That woman, Emily, re

    CHRISTIANThree years later, my heart is broken again. Reason—I dared to raise hope for the same woman who mercilessly shattered my heart three years prior.Will she ever understand me? I wondered. In fact, I know the answer already.— She won't. At least, the report before me strengthens that possibility.I looked down at the file that said, "William Denstone." It's the same man with whom I had seen her this morning. I swallowed the painful lump in my throat, shaking the image from my mind, or at least trying to.Yes, I did inquire about him. Perhaps because the scene had stirred an idea within me. A little, and I know perhaps it was foolish, yet it had sat over my chest like a thorn, so I had to.I prayed it was only my twisted mind, I really did, but in the end— my simple foolish doubt turned out to be the hardest truth of my life... William Denstone is her ex-lover, the man for whom she never gave me a chance with herself. She

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 37 Why is she here?

    VERONICA“Wasn't the man Christian Wolfe?” The first question William had asked after entering his exclusive room.I didn't expect the question, but then again, what was I thinking? My reaction was too profound after seeing him, which exposed my vulnerability to William.“Ye-eah…” I murmured and cleared my throat, “umm—shall I order your food here?” I asked, trying to ignore the topic.However, It's William Denstone I'm talking about, and I don't believe he'll cease his actions now, will he? He's never shied away from embarrassing me in the past, so why would he start now?“Why did you run away after seeing him, Veronica?” He inquired, settling onto the couch. His steely gaze bore into me, underscoring my helplessness once more.He is an important personality, and I can not ignore him… Yeah, how fortunate, Veronica. I scoffed inwardly.I bit down my lip and subtly avo

    VERONICA“Don't ever think I will let this leave!” Diana hissed at Aunt Lucy. “I will make sure to take it back!” She sternly threatened Aunt Lucy as I stood in the distance and heard her harsh words.I don't understand what she is talking about, though, and since it involved Aunt Lucy, I intervened. Without hesitation, I stepped forward and cleared my throat.“What's happening here?” I asked; my voice paused both women, and their heads turned in my direction.Aunt Lucy frowned, and Diana, well, her eyes widened as if she had encountered a dead.“Veronica—” She muttered, her brows furrowed in confusion as a flicker of shock crossed her ivory gaze. “Wh-at are you doing here?”“This is her property. Of course, she will be here, unlike you.” Aunt Lucy snapped in my defence. “Now before I call the cops on you, leave!”“What did you say?”

    VERONICA“Are you trying to become a nun or what?” Rang Zaya's voice in my ears. I could feel her glaring at me even through the phone.A defeated sigh left my chest as I heard her rumbling…“Seriously though, Veronica, how can you do this? You are on break, aren't you? Still, you ran to the hospital this morning… Hold on, did you run away to avoid this date?” Her demanding tone resonated throughout my car.I swallowed the painful lump in my throat and spoke for the first time. “Zaya, can we dismiss this idea of dating for now? I-I am not just feeling it at this moment.” I muttered weakly.Zaya fell silent for a while, “Vero, what happened?” She inquired, her annoyed tone turned anxious.“I am fine.” I muttered. “I am just a little tired. I'll talk to you once I return home, okay? I am currently driving.”“Oh okay, drive safe.” Her voice

However, I have yet to get anything at all.Heartache seemingly became my non-replaceable ornament, adorning me with its grace, and headache was its unyielding companion.Sigh— you have destroyed me for good, Veronica…“Hey, handsome.” A beautiful brunette appeared beside me, batting her lashes and trying to enchant me with her charm, which didn't help either.“Seems alone, or perhaps— severely lonely.” She smirked, sitting on the tool beside me.I couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. Even a stranger could see my distress, except her o

    DIANA SPARKLESThirty-five years—and for the first time, my only son had raised his voice at me, and for what? That shameless, unworthy bitch who had solely married my son for his fame and money?Elder Granger and my father-in-law were close friends, and that led them to arrange their grandchildren's marriage. I did not object until I realized that the girl wanted nothing but our wealth.Granger's reputation was tarnished, and they went bankrupt; however, my deceased father-in-law betrothed their daughter to my son. I just don't understand why he kept the nonsensical words he'd given to his friend on his deathbed!?Did he not realize that he was ruining his own grandson's life? Well, apparently, he did not, and brought that woman into our lives…“Calm down, aunt Diana.” Celine's sweet tone halted my thoughts as I looked up at her worried face. She held my hands and caressed them gently, “don't be upset, aunt, just give him some time. Everything will be fine.”I sighed, raising my hand

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.

"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.

    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
