Don't Call Me Back, Ex-husband! Unfazed
FRED'S HOMEThe moment Fred heard the news about Avery, panic surged through him like a tidal wave. His chest tightened, and he stormed out of his room, rushing towards the living room. His hand trembled as he reached for his car keys. He had to see Avery. He had to make sure she was okay.But before he could leave, a voice called out from behind him, sharp and mocking.“Where are you off to, Fred?”Fred froze, a sick feeling crawling up his spine. He turned slowly, his eyes narrowing when he saw Chantel sitting casually in the chair, holding a picture frame in her hand. The frame dangled from her fingers as if it were something she didn’t care about—something disposable.His eyes darted to the frame, then back to Chantel. “Where did you get that?” His voice was low, laced with frustration. “I told you to stop snooping around my things.”Chantel put on a mockingly sweet expression, her voice suddenly soft, “Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Fred. Just curious. Where are you off to in such a hurry?”

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITALFred noticed the glint of a gun emerging from a car window. Without hesitation, he shoved Bethany aside and shielded her with his body.The gunshot shot out, and Fred grunted in pain as the bullet tore into his shoulder. The car screeched away, leaving chaos in its wake.“Fred!” Bethany screamed, her voice trembling as she turned to see him collapse onto the pavement. Blood seeped through his shirt, staining the ground beneath him.“Argh!” he groaned, clutching his wounded shoulder with trembling fingers.Bethany knelt beside him, her hands shaking uncontrollably. “Help! Somebody, help us!” she cried out desperately, pressing her palms gently to his cheek. “Fred, stay with me! Don’t you dare close your eyes!”Dean appeared, rushing to their side. Without a word, he hooked Fred's arm over his shoulder and hoisted him up.“We’re getting him to the hospital!” Dean barked.Bethany, tears streaming down her face, followed close behind.AVERY'S WARDAfter a quick glanc

NATALIE'S HOMEBethany froze at the sight before her. Natalie stood in the doorway, her face emotionless but her clothes drenched in what looked like blood.“Oh my God! What happened?” Bethany stammered, her voice quivering.Natalie tilted her head, her expression unreadable. “What does it look like I’ve been doing?” she asked, a wicked grin spreading across her face. “Killing people, of course.”Bethany gasped, taking an involuntary step back.Natalie’s laugh was loud and piercing, the sound echoing in the quiet street. “Relax, Bethany. I’m kidding!” She paused, then added with a mock whisper, “Mostly.”Bethany shook her head. “This isn’t funny. You’re covered in blood!”“Come on in,” Natalie said, tugging her arm.Bethany resisted. “No. I shouldn’t—”Natalie’s grip tightened, her nails digging into Bethany’s wrist. Her eyes gleamed with a strange light. “Don’t be ridiculous. You’re already here. Come inside.”Bethany hesitated, her heart pounding, but she allowed herself to be pulle

Bethany threw her head back and grinned, her voice dripping with mockery. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”“Does it look like I’m joking?” Chantel shot back, shoving a stack of documents toward her.Bethany leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. “Let me guess. Fred doesn’t want to marry you, does he? Funny, considering he left me for you. Oh, the irony.”Chantel’s lips curved into a tight smile, though her eyes burned with irritation. “Well done pointing that out. But today isn’t about me. It’s about your husband starting a new life.”Bethany burst into laughter, shaking her head. “A new life? And you think getting me to sign a marriage contract without his consent is the way to do that? How delusional can you get?”Pinching the bridge of her nose, Chantel sighed dramatically. “Now I understand why your ex-husband left you. Just sign the damn papers, Bethany. Stop talking. Unless, of course”—her voice turned venomous—“you want to gamble with your son’s future.”Bethany’s mocking g

Bethany flinched as Dean hurled the glass toward Fred, who sidestepped just in time. The glass shattered on the wall behind him, pieces scattering across the rooftop.“Are you insane?” Fred shouted, his fists clenched as he moved forward, ready to lunge at Dean.“Stop it!” Bethany stepped in front of Fred, her hands pressing against his chest to hold him back.Dean’s eyes burned with rage as he pointed a shaking finger at Fred. “Really, Bethany? Are you seriously falling for him again? The same man who broke your heart? Don’t you realize he’s manipulating you, just like before?”Scoffing Fred said, . “Manipulating her? That’s rich coming from the guy who pretends to be her savior while cooking up these creepy schemes. You think a fancy dinner will erase what you’ve done?”Her hands trembled as she slowly released Fred, stepping back. Her gaze softened, her voice low and tinged with disappointment. “I can’t believe I almost fell for his tricks again,” she muttered, more to herself than

MERCY HOSPITALFred walked past Avery's ward, intending only to peek in, but the sight stopped him cold. Avery sat on the hospital bed, her body rigid, her gaze locked on the wall with an eerie blankness. Something was wrong.Without thinking, he stepped into the room, letting the door swing shut behind him. "Avery," he began cautiously. "What's wrong?"She didn’t flinch, didn’t blink—just kept staring at the wall as though it might reveal some dark truth.Fred tried again, this time louder. “Avery! Avery!” His voice broke through her trance, and she jolted slightly, her eyes blinking rapidly.“What?” she snapped, scratching the side of her head. “What do you want?”Fred hesitated, taken aback by her tone. “I, uh… I just saw you sitting here. Thought something might be wrong.” He stepped closer but kept his distance, hands shoved awkwardly in his pockets.Avery groaned, clearly irritated. “What do you want, Fred? I’m really not in the mood for company.”Fred cleared his throat, his vo

Natalie creased her brows in confusion and screamed, “What are you saying? She was kidnapped!”She couldn't believe what she was hearing. This was the man who had once been too scared to threaten his ex-wife, the same man who flared up at her for merely meeting his ex-wife. And now? Now he didn’t care about her safety? It was baffling. Strange, even.“Are you done?” Fred asked nonchalantly, his voice icy as he turned on his heels to leave.“Hey! They’re asking for ten million dollars!” Natalie yelled, grabbing his arm with desperation. “You need to give them the money!”Fred flinched at her touch, yanking his arm away as though her fingers had burned him. He turned and shouted, “How do you know I even have that kind of money? Did you plan this, Natalie? Are you working with them?”Staring at him, her jaw dropping in shock. “For Christ’s sake, I’m your lawyer! It goes against my ethics to do something like that!”Letting out a sarcastic chuckle he rolled his eyes. “Oh, sure. Like you e

AN HOUR EARLIERBethany was still tied up on the cold floor, her hands sore from the tight ropes. No one had come to her aid. She kept hoping Fred would set their differences aside and help her. But hope was fleeting.Suddenly, footsteps echoed against the concrete. The door creaked open, and a man stepped in with a smug grin plastered across his face. He ripped the nylon bag off Bethany’s head.She jerked back, gasping for air, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Squinting against the light, she demanded, “Who are you?”“Shut up and listen,” the man barked. He pulled a tablet from behind his back and held it in front of her.Bethany frowned, still catching her breath. “What’s that?”The man smirked. “It’s a toy, idiot. Now pay attention.”The screen flickered to life. Bethany’s heart stopped when she saw the face staring back at her. Her lips curled in disgust.“You son of a bitch!” she yelled. “How dare you kidnap me?”The person on the screen—someone she knew all too well—tilted

FLASHBACK5 YEARS AGOBethany stumbled through the hotel hallway, her clothes torn and heels clutched in her hands. Her heart pounded in her chest, a cold sweat gathering on the back of her neck. The sounds of her pursuers echoed behind her, footfalls heavy and urgent."Get her!" a voice yelled from down the corridor.Panic surged through her, but she didn't stop running.She darted left into a side hallway and spotted a door, room 540, just ahead. She didn’t hesitate—she threw her shoulder against it, forcing it open, and locked it behind her.Gasping for breath, Bethany collapsed against the door, sliding down to the floor, her hands trembling. She kicked off her heels, eyes scanning the room. She could still hear the footsteps of the men searching outside. They wouldn’t give up easily.Bethany straightened up, looking around frantically. Her eyes landed on the bathroom door, and she rushed toward it. Before she could even test the lock, she froze.A man stood before her, barely
Don't Call Me Back, Ex-husband! A clash of the past
IT WAS NEGATIVE!Fred let out a relieved sigh before punching the air with happiness. "Yes! Yes! I knew she would never do it!" he exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy.He had been noticing Bethany’s recent blackouts, her frequent headaches, and the condom incident—it all seemed to point to the possibility of pregnancy. Now, the test results confirmed otherwise.From behind him, Bethany’s voice interrupted his moment of triumph. "Hey! The doctor said he gave you my results!"Fred froze, his eyes widening in panic. Quickly, he shoved the test result into his pocket before spinning around with a feigned look of innocence. "Oh yeah! He just handed me this!" He extended a random paper to her, trying to act casual.Bethany took the paper with a confused look, then glanced at him. "Why are you sweating so much?"Fred stammered, "Huh... aren’t you going to check that? That’s the reason I brought you to the hospital!"Bethany smirked slyly and tucked the paper into her bag. "I’ll chec

7:00 AM"Ahh!" She yelled, springing up from her bed.It was all a dream! But why did it have to be about Fred? Sitting up straight, she placed her feet on the ground and let her gaze drift to the golden card on the table."Argh! This card is driving me nuts!" she groaned.Then she remembered—Dean had postponed the trip by five days. But why was she dreaming about it?With a sigh, she walked toward the kitchen to grab a glass of water, only to freeze when she saw Dean and Natalie there. Quickly, she hid behind the wall.Peeking around the corner, she watched as Dean grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge while Natalie continued eating her food.Dean suddenly broke the silence. "Are you going to keep stuffing your mouth with food you didn’t pay for?"What? Did Dean really just say that? It didn’t surprise her, but it disappointed her deeply.Natalie remained unfazed, her gaze fixed on her food.Dean, however, didn’t relent. "One mistake, and I’ll have you thrown out of this house. T

NEXT MORNINGIt had been two days since Stacy's death, and just one since Fred revealed the chilling truth about Dean.Bethany couldn’t get it out of her mind. She had been trying to avoid Dean, using work as a convenient excuse, but he kept pushing—after all, she had agreed to be his girlfriend. And now, there was no escaping him.She pulled on a black gown, layered a coat to ward off the cold, and left for work, her mind swirling with thoughts she couldn’t silence.As she neared the Swiss Hotel, a familiar car pulled up beside her.Dean. He stepped out, a devilish grin already spreading across his face."What’s he doing here?" she muttered, her heart racing in her chest.Suppressing her immediate unease, she wore a smile on her face and opened her arms to greet him. Dean wasted no time in pulling her into a tight embrace, spinning her around before pulling away just enough to caress her cheek.“It’s been way too long since we kissed, babe. Work, work, work! But don’t worry,” he wi
Don't Call Me Back, Ex-husband! Betrayed
Her mind raced as she tried to free her hands and run away, but he held her back.Before she could make another move, she heard a thud to the ground and saw that Fred had already taken care of the guy."Oh my God!" she gasped, breathing heavily.Fred blew air across his knuckles and smirked. "You're welcome, princess! Or do I see that you’ve already punched him?"Raising her brows, she couldn’t fathom that he was mocking her when she had just fought for her life."You’re insufferable! Crying prince!" she yelled, throwing her bag at him. The contents spilled out onto the floor.IT WAS CONDOMS!Fred’s eyes widened, and he quickly darted his gaze away, raking his hair in embarrassment.Bethany, mortified, wished the ground would swallow her whole. What she had been trying so desperately to hide had just been exposed by Fred.Dean had told her to buy it but not for them. It was strange! "I... I..." She scratched her face and bent down to pick up the condoms.Fred stared away, his foot on

Fred widened his eyes in shock and surprise. Stacy? Dead? That couldn’t be possible."Are you serious? Is Stacy really dead?" Bethany asked, her heart pounding with fear.The staff member caught her breath, gesturing nervously with her hands. “One of the staff found her in a pool of blood behind the building. She was shot in the head!”“Oh my God!” Bethany exclaimed, her voice trembling.“ What the hell is happening in this company? " Fred stood up abruptly, grabbed his coat, and barked, “Don’t let this situation alarm the customers. Get back to work; I’ll handle it!”He marched toward the door but paused, turning back to Bethany. “Are you coming?”She shook her head violently, waving her hands dismissively. “No... no... It might not even be true. You should check it out first.”With a nod, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.Bethany stared at her trembling hands. It was happening again. Every time she heard about a death, her hands shook uncontrollably, and her heart race
Don't Call Me Back, Ex-husband! Real you!
The gunshot shattered the air, reverberating like a thunderclap. Bethany flinched, a sharp shriek escaping her lips as she crouched behind the car for cover, her heart pounding against her ribcage.“Oh my God!” she gasped, clutching her chest to steady herself.The minutes ticked by like hours before she finally summoned the courage to straighten up, glancing around cautiously. Just as she was about to slip away, Fred appeared out of nowhere, his face etched with a mixture of worry and urgency.“Hey!” he shouted, his voice startling her.Bethany’s gaze darted to him, her expression a mix of relief and irritation. “Don’t bother calling me, Fred. I need to go check on someone,” she snapped, moving toward her car.But Fred blocked her path. “Natalie? That’s exactly where I’m headed!” he exclaimed, his voice rising. “She hasn’t been picking up, and I swear, if that bastard is there—”“Fred, stop!” Bethany interrupted, her mind racing. Who was this person? How did Fred know about them?
Don't Call Me Back, Ex-husband! Blam!
NEXT MORNINGBethany stared at her reflection in the mirror, reflecting on the woman she had become. Emotionless, detached, and heartless—all because of the heat emanating from Fred. His influence had changed her in ways she never thought possible.Natalie had been kind to her at times, but deep down, Bethany knew her so-called friend’s motives were shallow. That realization stung more than she was willing to admit.After their heated argument, Natalie had stormed out of the house without a second glance.Was she too harsh? Did she make the right decision? Or was she genuinely in trouble, spiraling out of control?Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when a pair of comforting hands rested on her shoulders. She gasped and turned to see Dean standing behind her, his expression calm and reassuring.“Oh my God! Dean?” she exclaimed, sighing in relief as she reached for his hand.He stepped closer, his fingers working magic as he massaged her tense shoulders. “You look so stressed. I
Don't Call Me Back, Ex-husband! A friend needs help
The long jump made a heavy thud, causing Bethany to lose her balance."Oh my God!" she yelped in pain, clutching her knee as she tried to regain her footing.Her heart raced as the adrenaline kicked in. There was no turning back now. The decision had been made, and she was on this path. Yet, in the fleeting moments of hesitation, doubts began to flood her mind.Am I really doing this? Am I really going to Fred's? The weight of the situation bore down on her, filling her with dread and second-guessing. Fred had seemed so serious, so insistent. What could he possibly have to say that couldn't wait? She needed answers, even if it meant revisiting old wounds.Lost in thought, Bethany was jolted back to reality by a sharp voice."Where do you think you're going?" someone yelled.She looked up, her heart sinking. "Natalie?"A wave of unease washed over her as she took in the sight of Natalie standing there, arms crossed. “How is it possible she's here? “ Bethany thought. She hadn’t expec
