I stood before him, trembling on my feet, my voice quivering as I mustered the courage to speak.
"I-I... I have an allergy to olives. I just cooked all of these for your dinner," I managed to say, but I could still feel the weight of nervousness in his piercing gaze.
In that moment, I felt small and vulnerable, like a child afraid of making a mistake in front of a stern parent. Despite my longing to express myself freely, fear held my words captive. I felt more isolated than a deaf person, unable to utter even the simplest sound.
But he responded with a torrent of anger, as if I were not standing before him. His words crashed upon me like waves, lashing out at my existence. "I don't fvckin' care if you have allergies or what! All I want is for you to finish everything on that table! I already told you that I hate wasting money and cooking too much food

Exelle "You..." I stare at him, shocked and nervous that he might actually discover that I am his ex-wife, Xiellenna, at this very moment. But, of course, I won't let myself be caught. Not like this. Not this easily. I won't. "You must be kidding me, right?" I whisper, mustering the strength that I had lost a while ago. Damn it, Exelle! Don't let yourself get caught so easily! Think of ways to escape this situation, damn it! Of course, I have to, or all of my hardships to come this far would be in vain and meaningless. And yes, he may have caught me off guard like this, but he can't bring down my defenses that easily. Maybe I faltered, but I am not the old me. I'm not the old Xiellenna anymore. "I am Exelle Kim." His face remains unchanged. My words don't even faze him easily. "Yes. This scar was caused by a burn, but not from a hot iron. It's f

Exelle I kept my gaze fixed on the papers scattered across my desk, while Lex paced back and forth in front of me. He continued to warn me about the risks I was taking by dealing with Hans. His words, filled with caution and concern, repeated like a broken record. It was as if he was the parent scolding a wayward child. I couldn't help but enjoy his annoyance, though I pretended to ignore him. "Xiellenna, you're putting yourself at risk. You know how dangerous Hans is," Lex emphasized, finally coming to a halt. He leaned over my desk, placing his hands firmly on the surface, and directed his full attention towards me. Responding playfully, I pouted my lips like a mischievous child. I propped my elbows on the desk, resting my chin on the back of my hand. With a mischievous smile, I met Lex's gaze. There was something endearing about his irritation. He looked rather adorable in that state. A

Exelle "Hello there, Miss Lux," I greeted her, forcing a smile upon my face. She returned the smile, but it was evident that it was forced. I could easily discern that she was merely acting friendly in my presence, something I had grown accustomed to recognizing. Becoming Exelle Kim and undergoing personal transformations had not been in vain; I still struggled to decipher people's true intentions. My journey to this point of unwavering determination had not allowed room for naivety. I had changed for the better, albeit with a degree of risk involved. Embarking on a path that originated from emotions I believed I would never experience—hatred. "Hello, M-Miss Kim," she stuttered, flashing another forced smile, before her gaze shifted behind me. "And, Alexis." My left eyebrow arched involuntarily upon hearing her falter. "Sorry about what you just saw earlier. I hope i

Exelle I knew deep down that all of this was just an act, a façade carefully constructed to deceive. Yet, in this very moment, being with him made me question what I truly desired. His touch, his kisses, and every intimate gesture ignited a longing within me. It was a dangerous dance on the precipice of temptation, for I was well aware that we were only friends, and that was the limit to our connection. "No," I whispered, my voice barely audible. It should have been restricted, confined within the boundaries we set, but something within me rebelled against such limitations. The acting, though seemingly excessive, had taken on a life of its own. My body refused to release the grip on these stolen moments. Stepping outside the established boundaries and allowing him to trespass upon forbidden territory were two distinct actions, and yet, the lines between us seemed to blur, erasing any semblance of constraint as we

Exelle As I sat in my office, the weight of recent events heavy on my mind, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Nothing happened, or so I told myself. But deep down, I knew there was more than just an act between Lex and me. Sam, my ever-observant friend, could see through my facade. "You can't fool me, Xielle," she declared, her gaze fixed on me. "There's something going on between the two of you. You can't deceive me." I couldn't deny it any longer; Sam suspected that Lex and I had crossed a line, but the truth was, nothing had truly happened. Defeated, I admitted, "Okay, fine. It's close to that situation, but we only kissed." I hoped that my confession would appease Sam's growing suspicion. "Kissed? Just kissed?" Sam's voice was filled with disbelief and reproach. "You expect me to believe that you only kissed on your bed until you got tired? Seriously, Xielle, you're too weak! You're getting older, and you shouldn't have played hard to get with Alexis." Her words stu

Exelle I found myself staring at Hans, who stood tall in the center of the room we occupied. Words failed to escape my lips, causing his smile to linger. His gaze bore into me, intensifying my nervousness and evoking a sense of fear. Silently, I locked eyes with him, while Sam did the same. "What the hell are you doing here, Mr. Alvez?" Sam asked Hans firmly, but his response came in the form of a laugh. He laughed as if he had won a game. A demon reveling in victory. A game? It felt more like I was the one orchestrating the play, so why should he be the one declared the winner? I wouldn't allow that. "Ms. Exelle Kim," Hans began, briefly bowing before continuing, "I mean, wife. Now that I've witnessed your reaction to those articles and seen you living with your best friend, Samara, in our former house, perhaps I cannot be mistaken in believing that you are indeed my wife, Xiellenna." I know, right. Seeing is believing. I felt caught red-handed, as if I were a criminal myself

ExelleJules had left some time ago, and I found myself back at work in the comfort of my home office. It was where I felt most at ease, being able to tackle my tasks within the familiar walls of my own house. Besides, there was really no other suitable place for me to set up my work in the Philippines, apart from this very residence.Earlier, I had extended an invitation to Jules, hoping she would join me and Samara for dinner. However, she kindly declined, explaining that she already had plans for a dinner date with Milo. It brought a smile to my face, knowing that they had found someone who brought happiness and completion to their lives.After diligently reading through stacks of papers and signing my name on numerous documents, I finally rose from the plush recliner chair that had provided me solace. I stepped out of my office and into the hallway, its emptiness surrounding me. Yet, there was none of the eerie a

Exelle.."The materials were all of good quality, as well as the workers themselves. It's no wonder the building was almost halfway complete," Mrs. Holland chuckled, her eyes twinkling with satisfaction."You're right, Mrs. Holland. The architectural design may not be grand, but it has a unique appeal. Looking at it, one can't help but find it pleasing to the eye," Mr. Mendrano commented, his gaze scanning the unfinished structure before us. "I can't wait to see the complete picture once the project is finished."The other board members seemed equally pleased, their expressions mirroring Mrs. Holland's sentiment towards the project. It was evident that they were all eagerly looking forward to the finished product of the hotel.Of course, I had deliberately chosen to collaborate with the number one construction company known worldwide.

EX Wife (ENGLISH) EPILOGUE
"The moment of truth has come, when fears were set aside, just like when we choose to fight against them instead. The truth is, I’ve come a long way just to reach this peak that we’ve talked about, and to call it success. This building has been here to witness the ups and downs of my life since I came back to this place, from the grains of sand and un-mixed cement that hadn't yet formed the solid foundation we now call walls and floors, into this majestic tower that now battles the heights to reach the sky," I paused, pressing my lips into a thin smile before letting out a soft laugh.That small laugh echoed through the hall, amplified by the speaker connected to the mic I was holding. The unique sound of my laughter traveled across the space.I noticed ripples forming on the surface of the white wine in my glass. It was like a disturbance in the silence, but it was calm, almost inviting. It moved in sync with the subtle movements of my body, and then stopped momentarily, matching the

Third Person's Point of ViewDark clicked his tongue to openly express his dissatisfaction, his gaze sharp as he stared at Hans, who, in turn, was also staring back at him.The frown on the young man's face deepened when Hans simply passed him by after Exelle allowed him into the mansion. Brimming with his usual intimidating aura, Dark strode along to follow Exelle and Hans. They passed through the open living area where Dark and Exelle had spent time together before Hans’ unexpected arrival.Unlike before, when the place was dimly lit, with light sneaking through the slightly opened veranda doors, now the space was illuminated by the bright lights from a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling, near the staircase leading to the upper floors. The sound of their footsteps broke the quiet, followed by the creak of a door opening not far from the main hall, where the living area and staircase were located.“Get inside,” Exelle’s soft voice cut through the silence as she led the three o

Third Person's PoVThere was a faint smile on her face as she watched the argument between her two friends, the ones she had last seen a year ago. Her attention was then caught by someone's presence beside her, which caused her smile to widen, turning from a simple curve to something more genuine. Lei, who was sitting beside her stepbrother, Pierce, on the sofa, was still engaged in an argument with him."Tsk, tsk, Pierce. You're so slow," Lei whispered to her stepbrother, Pierce, while stealing a glance at the man Exelle was talking to.If you think about it, Lei couldn't really say anything against that man. Aside from being handsome and having a well-built physique, it was undeniable that he had a certain magnetic aura about him. He was someone filled with a dark presence, but for some reason, that aura could also draw anyone in, as if they were naturally pulled toward him by an invisible force. Thinking about it, Lei couldn't help but form a lopsided smile before giving her brothe

Third Person's Point of View"It's still the same?"A question was heard from Dark as he stood in front of a bookshelf, pulling out a file folder and opening it. He did not glance at his cousin, who was sitting seriously on the sofa in the receiving room. That room was part of Audrey's office, and the only way into it was through the door of her office."I... think so."In the way the man spoke, one could notice a slight hesitation. It was as if he was unsure whether his words would be the right ones to say. Only then did the young woman glance at him, her eyes noting the expression on her cousin Dark's face."You haven't met her since you came back here, have you?" Audrey asked again with a raised eyebrow. When she didn’t hear a reply from her cousin, she merely shook her head.Audrey sighed before placing the file folder back on the shelf.Dark, with his head lowered, waited silently in his seat, and after a moment, he looked up at the ceiling, suddenly lost in thought. His mind was

Third Person's POVExelle remained silent as she watched Dark's unreadable face under the fluorescent light.Her gentle expression returned, unlike the unusual look she had earlier while watching Alexis. Her lifeless eyes, seemingly exhausted, dropped their gaze back to Dark, as if nothing had changed upon seeing Alexis again and knowing that Rylie might already be dead.It was as if her gaze told him she wasn’t bothered by Alexis’s miserable state or Rylie’s death.Exelle simply stared back at Dark, who was still holding her hand. She didn’t know what to say, unable to decipher what he was trying to convey. His head was bowed, and his trembling hand, still holding hers, seemed afraid to let go. Since she couldn’t fathom what was going on in his mind, she stayed quiet, waiting for his next move.“I feel like I’ll lose her once I let her hand go…”Those were the heavy words echoing in Dark’s head.At this moment, the two figures—a man and a woman—stood motionless in the quiet, wide hal
EX Wife (ENGLISH) FORTY TWO
Third Person's POVThe inside of some rooms along the long, white corridor was noisy. Some people were laughing while talking to themselves, and others were screaming loudly for reasons unknown. The strange voices, which alternated between happy and agonized, felt oddly misplaced in the building's naturally gloomy atmosphere.In the middle of the hallway, a woman walked with confidence. She wore a creamy-colored turtleneck sweater that hugged her chest, arms, and entire upper body. The outfit was paired with a black pencil skirt that extended past her knees, featuring a long slit on the left side, revealing her snow-white, smooth skin beneath the fabric.Her heels produced a ticking sound each time they struck the cemented floor.Behind her followed a man with a serious expression etched on his handsome face. He silently stared at the woman in front of him, his gaze fixed on the movements of her shoulders, covered by a black blazer. Though his face was firm and stoic, anyone who saw h

Third Person's POV"Antonio, try to move it here and then to that side over there," the tall and voluptuous woman in her late thirties said to the man holding a box with both of his hands, standing in front of the open door.She pointed to the place where the two boxes the man was holding should be placed with her index finger, which he immediately followed.Behind her, the man was simply leaning his back against the hallway wall, facing the door to the room where the woman had earlier given instructions to the man. Dark silently watched the woman's expressionless face as she did her work, keeping his arms crossed over his broad chest. The storage room where the woman was working was brightly lit with fluorescent light, contrasting against its walls painted in ash and concrete colors.The room was filled with boxes containing unused items, which is why the temperature inside was moderate enough to preserve the items hidden within. Some parts of the room were dusty, making Exelle raise
EX Wife (ENGLISH) FORTY
Third Person's POVThe young man sitting next to Exelle furrowed his brow as he remembered that her wounds were still not fully healed. He almost forgot about it because the young woman was rushed to the hospital a few days after she woke up due to an infection in the wound on her shoulder caused by the gunshot wound to her body.There were no large hospitals on the island, and the journey would take half a day due to the distance from the island to a district hospital in Lubang. Because of this, he didn’t take her there when he first found her. The chances of her survival would have been shortened if he had her travel from Cabra to Lubang, which would have taken almost half a day by water, and the journey time would have increased further because he would have had to travel from the port of Lubang to the district hospital.The wound was not noticeable either because it was covered by the fabric of her clothing. Even the supposed stain of blood on her clothes wasn’t visible, as it mig
