I stood in the middle of the crowd, with Esther pinning all the blame on me. Everyone looked at me as though I had been convicted. In their eyes, I was nothing more than a bitter ex-wife, causing trouble and even harming a great doctor out of jealousy.I wanted to say something, but before I could, Hugh looked at me and asked, "Did you do it?"The words got stuck in my throat. I couldn't bring myself to speak.Even though Esther had trampled on his heart, sold the necklace he had given her, and caused this whole scene, he still stood by her side.I wasn't wrong—Hugh was a good person. But his heart would never belong to me. That painful truth hit me harder than anything, and suddenly, I didn't feel like defending myself. The tears I had held back began to well up again, but I refused to let them fall.I won't cry. Not in front of these two. I will always keep my dignity."It was me. So what? You going to take revenge for her?" I said coldly.Hugh looked surprised. It was laughab
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 58: Hugh's POV - Esther's Lie
The moment I saw that necklace at the auction, it felt like a thunderclap in my chest.Back then, my love for Esther was pure and passionate. I wanted to give her the very best of everything. When she mentioned wanting a necklace, I dropped all my work, traveled abroad, and personally met with the designer to have a custom, one-of-a-kind piece created just for her, at an exorbitant cost.The more effort I put into that gift, the more it hurt to see it displayed at the auction. At this point, my pain wasn't even about whether I still loved Esther. It was about the regret I felt for my past self and how much I had given.Then I thought of Shelia. How had she felt when I completely disregarded her efforts and devotion?I knew the necklace had come from Warner's boutique, and Shelia must have had a hand in getting it donated. So later, when Esther came running to me in tears, claiming Shelia had bullied her, I sensed something was off. But I still believed Esther, partly out of anger t
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 59: Esther’s POV - As Long As I Cover It Up, We Can Be Together
I was stunned when I realized that Hugh didn’t respond to my confession and explanation at all. He just stared at me, and after a moment of silence, he left. Before Sheila came into the picture, he had always been devoted to me, completely trusting.Back then, I left him for another man, but when I decided to return, even though he was already married, all it took was a little gesture and a few tricks, and he’d abandon his wife to come crawling back to me without a second thought.But this time, he actually left me standing in the ballroom like this. I could feel the judging stares all around me—I was the clown. Before Sheila got involved, Hugh would never have let me be so humiliated. It was all her fault.If Sheila hadn’t interfered between Hugh and me, he would still be devoted to me and only me.I was furious, but there wasn’t time to indulge my anger. I could tell Hugh was genuinely upset this time. He had just left me at the event without a second thought!When I got home, I
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 60: Hugh's POV - The Undesired Engagement Party
After Esther left, I stared at that cup of hot chocolate for a long time. I knew she had ulterior motives, but I still couldn’t bring myself to say anything harsh to her. While she envisioned our future, I was planning how to end things with her once the engagement party was over.On the day of the engagement, Esther got into my car, wearing an elegant white dress. Her golden curls cascaded over her collarbone, and her face radiated happiness. She tried to hold my hand, but I discreetly avoided her touch."Esther, today you must stay by my side at all times. I’ll explain why after the ceremony is over."I didn’t want to scare her, but the guilt of deceiving her weighed heavily on me. I knew that if she were hurt by this, it would be a tragic experience for her.Esther smiled brightly and nodded. "Okay, I’ll do whatever you say."As we entered the ballroom, I overheard people talking."Can you believe Mr. Thornton threw such a grand party for his fiancée? I did a rough estimate, a
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 61: Shelia's POV - The Truth Behind the Engagement Party
From the time Hugh and I got married to when we divorced, he never once took me to any public events. So when I arrived at his engagement party, I could hear people whispering about me. The poor, neglected ex-wife, discarded by her husband.Back then, I had nothing. Now, Esther was basking in Hugh's undivided attention and love.What a joke.Travis was visibly upset, clenching his fists. "These ignorant people don't know anything. Hugh isn’t worthy of you. You're the one who left that sorry excuse of a man. He’s the pathetic one for losing the best woman in the world."“But you can’t deny that Esther has everything I never had,” I said with a shrug.“Shelia…” Travis's expression softened, his eyes filled with concern and sympathy.“Don’t look at me like that. If I can talk about it so casually now, it means I’ve already moved on from my past.” But despite my words, when I turned and saw Esther clinging to Hugh's arm, I quickly averted my gaze.Years ago, Hugh saved me, and I stayed by
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 62: Shelia's POV - The Shooting Chaos
After splashing a bucket of cold water on the tattooed man, he woke up and immediately started cursing at me and Travis. I pulled out a recording device and spoke calmly, “You should know who he is and the power the Warner family holds. If they want you gone, there won’t be a trace of you left in this world.”The man looked at me, then at Travis, with a mix of confusion and disbelief. “Hah! You think I’m scared of a couple of tough words? My muscles aren't just for show, sweetheart!”I glanced at Travis, who shrugged. “Okay.”Then, without hesitation, he punched a nearby water pipe, leaving a clear dent where his fist had struck. The tattooed man’s smug grin froze on his face.“So, friend,” I said coolly, “from now on, you will answer every question I ask. If not, the next punch lands on you.”He nodded, now clearly shaken.“Who are you? And what’s your relationship with Esther?”“My name’s Jack. I used to be a bodyguard for a European prince—I won’t name names, of course. But n
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 63: Esther's POV - Her True Colours
I saw Jack appear at the front of the stage, gesturing at me. It meant he hadn’t yet found that sneaky assassin. Damn it, that killer was slippery as an eel. As long as we couldn’t locate her, I needed to keep Hugh close, securing my safety and making sure he had no chance to discover the secrets I couldn’t afford to reveal.The engagement ceremony was about to begin. I took a deep breath, steadying myself so I wouldn’t show even the slightest hint of unease.“Esther, remember, after today, everything will be over. No one will ever learn about your dark past. Your future will be bright,” I silently reassured myself.From the crowd below, envious glances were cast my way, and I could hear whispers among the women."Esther is so lucky to win the love of someone as incredible as Mr. Thornton and become his wife.""I’d trade ten years of bad luck just to marry someone like Mr. Thornton.""Even if you had ten years of bad luck, you wouldn’t stand a chance with him. Mr. Thornton only wan
Ex-Husband's Relentless Desire Chapter 64: Shelia's POV - Esther's Madness
By the time I arrived at the banquet hall, chaos had already erupted. To prevent Jack from escaping, Travis had dragged him inside. The crowd had formed a wide circle around the center, and from the looks of things, I could piece together what had happened.A woman on the floor was being restrained by two soldiers from the peacekeeping force, and a handgun lay nearby. On the stage, Hugh was shielding Esther, holding her close. It seemed clear—the woman on the floor had fired at Esther, and Hugh had saved her.Meanwhile, the video continued playing on the large screen, showing a brutal scene of a woman and a child being killed. The footage ended with a freeze-frame of Esther’s face. Given what Jack had said earlier, I now fully understood what was going on.Esther had brought Jack to the engagement party with the true goal of finding this woman. But because Travis and I had intervened, Jack had been captured, causing Esther’s plan to fail and giving the woman a chance to attack her.
