Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 107 A piece of me
(Bella)It's been two days since my kids asked if Dean could be their father, I haven't given them any explicit answer yet but I have really given it a thorough thought.And by the time I made my final decision, I couldn't tell how my fear of Dean taking full custody dissipated.Perhaps it doesn't really make much sense, I mean, if he wanted to, he would have acted on it.So, yeah. This isn't about me anymore, it's about my kids, and I no longer intend to cavil or compromise.As a mother, my kid's happiness and wellness should be my utmost concern.I want to give them a chance to have both parents regardless of the situation with Dean.Of course my nerves are a little short about it, what it'll all bring moving forward.Ashley's threat played in my mind. Letting Dean play his dad's role will surely agitate her, as much as I always seem unaffected by her threats, I know she's more deadly than she looks.I mean, she has proven that over and over again.But then, am I really going to let

(Dean)I couldn't have been more restless after seeing Bella's text.She wanted to meet and talk, on one hand I was happy she texted, super excited even but on the other hand I was dreadfully nervous.Bella wanted to talk?That thought leaves me thrilled and anxious. We'd be having lunch this afternoon, and hence I welcomed the morning with an electrifying buzz.I wore my finest suit, a well polished shoe and made sure my hair was perfectly in place. I just couldn't help myself.Ethan noticed it, perhaps from my voice when he called this morning to remind me of the meeting with the upper Elites.And trust him to not fail to ask. "You sound incredibly thrilled for someone who'd be in the same space for two long hours with Eric Scott," He say, my mind drifts to the meeting I do not wish to attend.If it wasn't out of duty and perhaps business, I doubt I'd want to be anywhere near the likes of Eric. Eric always wants to undermine me at every turn. He seems to cease any chance he gets to

(Dean)If there's one thing I learned from my past mistake, it's to never trust other people's stories before hearing Bella's.I've learned the hard way, and Bella's the one I trust the most, I know that now.I might've cluelessly allowed Judy and Ashley to manipulate me but right now, no one has that power over me.Not even this despicable lying asshole.I look at Eric, and a dry chuckle escapes me. "Were you expecting me to flare up? Oh no, Eric. That's absurd, as a matter of fact, you should be thrilled to have her aboard," Thrown off, his smile fades and his face falls completely, I can see his eyes widen in disbelief, he looks at me like I didn't just say that.Having received the reaction I expected, I take a cautious step forward and tap his shoulders gently, his eyes follows my hand. "You'll be fine, Eric. We'll all be," I give him a tiny smile before retreating.I spot his balled fist but he didn't dare say anything else.I hear Ethan call me from behind, I turn to see him wa

(Bella)I woke up the next day and realized I had angrily closed my laptop without responding to Eric's mail.Of course the normal me would've left it unattended to, but then I need him to know that I wasn't some pawn he'd use in his dirty little games.Maybe if I tell him more assertively, he'll stop bothering me.I reach out to my laptop and quickly replied before starting my day."Hi, Eric. Well, consider this the last time I'll respond to you over this ridiculous offer, maybe, just maybe if you play fair and put in the required work, you'd measure up. I'm not a pawn you'd use in your malicious dirty games against your opponent, let that sink!"I let out a heavy sigh, and dragged myself out, ready to welcome the day.*******I set a reminder on my phone regarding lunch with Dean, as I settle into my chair, flipping through the files on my desk.I worked in silence, till Cynthia came in to say hi, she has been a little more friendly, no longer the grumpy lady who stalks me outside re

(Dean)My stomach is in tight knots as I sit down in the empty restaurant, one I had booked out for the time we'd be spending here.I glance at my watch as I prayed she doesn't change her mind.Bnd then I turned, meeting the most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen, for a fleeting seconds I stared, clearly blown away.Bella looks breathtakingly gorgeous in a simple gown that's just a little below her knees, she has a knack for making even the simplest clothes look elegant.She's easily the most beautiful woman in the world, and if she ever gives us a chance, I'll never let her slip out of my fingers again, never.My dick stirred in my pants as I took in her features a little more, I quickly force a breath down my lungs, blocking out my lewd thoughts and just then a smile creeps up my face."Bella," I mutter, standing up to welcome her but then her face went dead cold in an instant, disregarding me with just a glance.She walked straight to our table and my eyes strayed to the bag she was hol

(Bella)I finally stepped out of the door, and I had never felt so relieved walking out of a restaurant.I just can't get over the sadness I saw in Dean's eyes as I declared there was no us. There had to be something wrong with me for feeling bad about nothing.I shouldn't, he made me feel worthless, he humiliated me and shattered my heart into a thousand pieces, I can't forget that.I shake off that weird feeling, reminding myself that what I had with Dean, needed to be over.I don't want to hurt myself more by giving in to what I feel for him. I had to literally force myself to sound mean, act like it or risk letting my real emotions show.Do I love Dean? I'd probably scream yes.But is love truly enough to sustain a marriage, a union?This isn't just about love, I can't trust Dean, and trust is everything.And as for him? He has no trust in me either, no faith.His mother knew to go after his insecurities, a few photos was all it took and he easily folded, he didn't even try to dis

(Ashley)I grip my glass tighter, the amber liquid does nothing to calm me down, alongside Kendra's words.Judy must think I'm stupid, pretending to be shocked and angry about me sleeping with Raymond. She doesn't fool me, she can't pretend to be holier than thou when she's been manipulating and lying to Dean all this time.She has no right to blame this on me, she's a terrible mother.I thought she'd suck it up and get her head back in the game but clearly she isn't.She has been ridiculous about this whole thing, overreacting and refusing to see me, but I don't care. She's just as stupid, underestimating me.One thing is certain, with or without her help, Dean will be mine.He said he doesn't want me, that he'll never love me. I'm sure he doesn't mean that, his head is messed up right now, that bitch must've got him all confused again.But does it even matter?He'll be with me, he'll learn to love and accept me whether he likes it or not.I take a long sip from my glass, my mind rac

(Bella)I regretted my scathing words as soon as I entered my office.I still can't wrap my head around why I flared up, was it because he said I belonged to him?But he was only trying to help…Ugh!"That was totally uncalled for, Bella." My conscience pricked me, sometimes I just let my emotions have their way with me.I should've probably said thank you and walk away. Now, I feel like a piece of shit, the guilt was wrapped around me like a scratchy blanket, it has my heart in a fierce grip.I have to apologize for being a complete ingrate.I let out a deep sigh, and reached out to my laptop, wanting to get the guilt out of my system but it isn't working out so well.That's it.I sigh again, resting my back on my chair, my mind a whirlwind.I realize now that I've been pretty hard on Dean, I'm slowing turning into a woman I cannot recognize anymore.I've become this insensitive and unhappy woman, who always act without thinking, and that's not me!I'm still angry at Dean, but that d

(Dean)Full tilt into my meetings and I've barely come up for air. It's been a busy day, even so more than usual.And I can't wait to get done with it and head back home to my woman and kids. I couldn't wait until I could hold Bella in my arms again.But then, I had an odd feeling when I called Bella before getting on with these meetings and she didn't answer, I texted her and waited for a while but got no response.Humphrey came to inform me that it was time for the meeting, my eyes had flickered on the phone before I put it on silence and handed it over to Humphrey, alongside my other phone.I do that whenever I have important meetings to avoid distractions, and this one is with international investors, so yeah."We're looking forward to working with you, Mr. Brennan." One of the men says with a grin as he extends his hand toward me.A smile sits on my lips as I take the hand he's offering. "It's a pleasure, Mr. Duke."Once done, I head out to where Humphrey is seated, waiting.He g
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 129 Stolen peace of mind
(Bella)I got home in time before Javier and Jasmine woke up, I had to, Anne isn't too strong to get them ready for school on her own, and I needed her to get all the rest she can.I didn't get Ivy's call nor text, she usually calls every morning or leaves a text. I had called but she didn't answer and hasn't returned the calls.I pocket my phone and help get the twins ready for school before heading to make us breakfast.As I move around the kitchen, plating the food, I couldn't help but reminisce about last night, it was beyond what I could put into coherent words, it was beautiful, it was passionate and it felt right, more right than anything has in a long time.I had a corking good time.We made love till we were both tired out, we talked about a lot, from how I felt when I realized Ashley and his mother had set me up down to how challenging being pregnant and alone was, how helpful Calvin has been.My stomach twisted when I mentioned Calvin, a subtle reminder of our unresolved is
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 128 Screams of pleasure
(Bella)Those words were all it took, and Dean's lips are on mine again, devouring every inch of my mouth, I could barely catch my breath as the kiss grows more intense with every second.It feels like we're both starving, the passion is still there, as fiery as ever.Dean lifts me up against the wall, his lips still on mine, while I wrap my legs around his waist.After a few minutes of kissing me none stop, he gently brings me down, and striped me bare, discarding my dress and I watch his eyes darken as he stares at my body, eyes filled with admiration."You're so beautiful," his voice is hoarse and soaked in desire, he undid his button, shrugging out of his shirt, revealing a well-defined chest and sculpted abs.My eyes roams his body, exploring every fascinating inch of his chest and abdomen and then my face flushed as my eyes drifted to a certain bulge in his boxers briefs. When I look up to meet his gaze, he has a smirk.He took a single step forward and that was it, he whirls me
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 127 A fresh start
(Bella)The awkward silence lasted till Calvin was out of sight. I turn to look at Rihanna and she looks a little sad, her eyes pinned in the direction Calvin had taken.I clear my throat, snapping Rihanna back to reality. "Is everything okay?" I say, my eyebrows lifting in question.She forced a smile. "Oh, it's nothing," she waves it off. "How have you been, Bella. It's been such a long time," she says, her eyes lightening up again.There, she's being too obvious about changing gears but that's okay. I understand awkward moments better than most.I exhaled, offering a smile as warm as hers. "I've been great actually. It's so nice to see you," I say earnestly."Yeah," she mutters, her gaze softening. "We should catch up sometime," she says and I nod."Yeah, we should,"We talked a little more before she excused herself to join her date.As I watch her leave, I couldn't help but think about earlier, what was that?There's definitely something, it can't be nothing.Calvin looks like he
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 126 Price of honesty
(Bella)I knew I wanted Dean, I wanted him so badly. Even now my body still tingles from his touch. I just realize how much I've missed him.That kiss, his gaze that makes me weak to my knees, it all reminded me that I was starving.I could feel the wave of heat washing over me when my eyes strayed to his crotch, I just couldn't help it, my mind instantly projected him naked, and his cock buried deep inside me, what those gorgeous hands of his could do to me.But then, I shook my head, inwardly scolding my lewd thoughts.My walls had crumbled to dust when Dean said he has and will always love me.Strangely I didn't doubt his love, I had looked into his eyes, searching for even the barest traces of lies but I found none.I see the way he looks at me and that itself tells me more than I need to know.A part of me wanted to tell him that I never stopped loving him. But I restrained myself from doing so. I'll put it down to being cautious, and yet my whole body screams at me to admit that
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 125 Healing together
(Dean)I watch tears slip down the side of her face and now I feel like the biggest asshole in existence for making her cry.I see the doubt in her eyes and it fucking kills me, I know it's going to take a while before she'll fully trust me again.I'm willing to do anything, anything at all to get her to trust me again.But then, she pulls her hands free from mine and looks at me, her eyes a teary mess. "You don't get it, Dean. Ashley is crazy, she's dangerous, she'll try to hurt me, her threats were real, and your mother? She's unhinged. I" she pointed out and pause, as if remembering something. And then she looks at me. "Judy knew I had your kids long before you figured it out, she wanted to pay me out, to leave my kids to you and Ashley, she thinks the worst of me," her voice cracks, barely above a whisper and then she lowers her head.My eyes widens as I try to take in what I've just heard.My fist clench and unclench at my side.Ashley threatened her? And mother knew the kids we
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 124 Letting it all out
(Bella)I flip over for what feels like the hundredth time, unable to sleep, my mind just won't stop racing, Dean's sad eyes haunted my mind.Frustrated, I throw off the covers and drag myself out of bed, wearing no more than red silk nightgown.I head to the kitchen to grab myself a bottle of water and go through my emails later, hoping it'd help quiet my mind, somehow. But not before checking in on Javier and Jasmine.With a bottle of water and a clean glass in hand, I move to the kitchen island and sat down. But just as I take the first gulp, I hear a knock on the door.I squint, checking the time on my phone. Who could possibly be knocking on my door, and at this time?It's a few minutes past 9PM, not too late but I don't usually have anyone over at this time.I place the glass back down and shuffle to the door. When I opened the door, I'm startled to see Dean standing there, ashen-faced.I didn't expect he'd be here, especially when I got his text earlier saying he had a late nig
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 123 It's about time
(Bella)I could feel Dean's eyes on me the entire day and even as I join Calvin in speaking to a few guests, his gaze was still on me.I refused to meet his eyes, focusing my mind on anywhere but him. And then finally he walks up to Calvin and I, alongside his assistant, Humphrey."Dean," Calvin turns to meet him, shifting his attention from a guest to him, a soft smile in place, My heart raced with Dean's closeness but I didn't dare look at him.Well, not until he mutters. "I'll have to take my leave now, I have an urgent matter that needs my attention," he says but there's an edge in his voice and instinctively my eyes landed on his blue ones.I see an unmistakable glint of sadness in his eyes as it flickers between Calvin and I."Oh, that's fine, Dean." Calvin says calmly, extending his hands.Dean looks at the hand Calvin was offering and hesitantly he takes it, returning a tiny smile and then he turns but not without giving us both a once over.My stomach is tied up in a knot as I
Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife Chapter 122 Rising tensions
(Bella)I haven't been able to get Dean, the kiss out of my head, from one lewd thought to another and it pretty much unsettles me.I'd like to think I've been ignoring him quite well and I'm sure he knows.I must be a terrible person because I didn't even ask if he was okay now, if Doctor Raven said anything that'd be of concern.I should ask but the urge to stay away from him was greater. And the next day we slipped into our co-parenting roles, and I try to keep away from him.I see his efforts into getting us to talk though, I feel his scorching gaze but I paid no mind, making sure there's no situation that'll leave us alone in one setting.Of what use will opening up to Dean or accepting my feelings for him be? It'll rile Judy and Ashley up, and then what?I can't risk it.They might be quiet now, staying off my back but I know it's only a matter of time.If they see I'm not here for Dean, and that I only have my kid's best interest at heart, maybe they'll finally let me be.Speak
