Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 132
EscapeI quickly turned on the engine of my car, fury settling in as I drove away from the company without sparing a glance at Levi, who was calling out with concern. All that mattered was confronting that scumbag, Harry. I’d already called the police to have him arrested, but I needed to vent my anger, to lash out every bit of frustration that had settled deep within me. The pain of such a shocking revelation shredded my heart as I struck the steering wheel over and over again.I knew I had little experience driving and that it was dangerous to do so in such an emotionally drained state. Yet, the more I tried to compose myself and focus, the more frustrated I became. It hurt deeply that this same Harry, who had recently tried to worm his way back into my son’s life—the same man who had made my life a living hell—was actually the one responsible for my father’s death. How cruel, heartless, and inconsiderate could he be?In the depths of my shattered heart, I knew Harry felt nothing fo

A kiss with the pastHarry's POVMy heart was a mix of uncertainty and confusion as she continued hurling insults at me. For once, I couldn't understand why she was calling me a murderer. Was it something from my past she was referring to? As far as I knew, I had long since stopped those activities and had no desire to return to that life of uncertainty and atrocities."How? Why are you calling me names?" I managed to ask, my expression masked in confusion."How dare you pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about, you pathetic excuse of a man?" she snapped, her venomous voice echoing across the room.I huffed, "I stopped being the bad guy you used to know a long time ago. Can you please tell me why you still choose to treat me with such hatred for the wrongs I did to you?" I asserted, my heart already sinking, the joy and excitement dissipating.She rolled her eyes at me disapprovingly. "What am I even doing here, talking with such scum? The police will do their job," she snapped,

DreadJack's POV"Don’t tell me that! You know how much effort we put into this, and it just got ruined?" I snapped, my brows furrowing in frustration. "It was a simple task: crash her in that vehicle, escape to the other street, and switch cars to cover your tracks. That way, no one would know who orchestrated the accident. Simple. And you just messed up the whole plan." I slammed my hands against the bar, my voice laced with anger, frustration settling in my heart."Boss, we’re sorry, but the way everything went down was just… unexplainable. You know how professional we are in this game, but this was different. It all happened in a blink, like we saw another obstruction just as her car stopped and the truck veered off to the opposite street. I still can’t process how it all happened," he tried to explain, but my patience was already razor-thin."Spare me the excuses," I snapped, slamming my hand hard on the armrest. He jumped, his legs trembling as I closed the space between us in t

Wavering truth Celine's POVMy heart melted as I stood in disbelief, watching Henry pleading on his behalf, pulling him over to play alongside him. I loved seeing my son happy and would do anything to make sure that joy wasn't taken away from him, but not when it came to Harry. It was so aggravating to remember what he had done and to think I nearly lost my life because of how I felt about him; it was just too much to add.I felt the urge to reveal the extent of the damage this man sitting next to him, the one who called himself his dad, had caused. But then I restrained myself, my mouth agape. He was just heartless, sitting next to Henry after eliminating his granddad in cold blood. It would have been a privilege for Williams to have lived a little longer, to know I existed, and to see the face of his grandson. But all of that was dashed to pieces because of Harry—the dreaded mafia leader, as Leonard had confessed.I remembered shouting at the top of my voice, “Ahh! Is that true? Th

PartnershipHarry's POVStunned by her expression after the call, which looked as if someone had orchestrated an accident, my thoughts drifted to countless clues surrounding the incident. Without minced words, I knew it was Jack's handiwork, but what wasn't certain was why she had escaped the incident and why she didn’t disclose it to anyone upon her arrival. I remained seated, allowing Henry to approach her when he asked.Her mood seemed much calmer when her son walked up to her and inquired about the accident, to which she simply said she was fine. I stayed still, my thoughts wandering to a particular scenario that I couldn’t piece together yet. Someone had told her about William's death, and then she came home alone, angry and ranting. That alone explained why she had driven by herself in such a distressed state, ultimately leading her into the trap. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me Jack was involved in all of this. After all, he was the one who had a rivalry with Celine. But

Make me yoursCeline's POVI knew he would think I let him into the plan because I had feelings for him—no, never. That was exactly why I had to clear the air and set him straight about whatever plans he might have.Alloy had suggested this and I kept convincing myself that this was for the game plan, and nothing more.My thoughts drifted to the text message I had received just minutes ago, and I knew it was from none other than Leonardo. He had told me that Harry was the killer. But why would he lie if the real killer wasn’t Harry, especially if his men had arrived just minutes later, as the text described? Something wasn’t right, and someone was behind it. Could it be Jack? I knew he had been planning his own mission in secret. What was the connection in all this? I marveled.My thoughts were conflicted, but I was determined to unravel every bit of information I needed. The throbbing in my head intensified, ringing in my ears like thousands of drumsticks. My hands clutched my head t

ScandalsThe blaring sound of the alarm clock kept ringing, and for a moment, I felt like turning it off, slamming my hands onto the pillow, and covering my ears in frustration. But I couldn’t suppress the longing to stay back in bed as I drifted off from sleep, reluctantly pulling myself up to sit on the edge of the bed.I couldn’t believe it was morning already. The throbbing sensation I’d felt the previous day seemed slightly eased. Hanging my head in my hands, I yawned, about to climb out of bed and head to the washroom, when a notification popped up on my phone. I reached for it, hesitating, but dropped it back onto the bed, rubbing my eyes and still feeling a bit of reluctance.Storming into the washroom to refresh, the cool water from the shower sent a chill down my spine, slightly relieving the nausea and the slight throbbing in my head. After I finished, I quickly sauntered out and dressed for the day. It was going to be hectic at work, and I believed Harry should be up and l
Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 139
His best sideThe media was outside, and stepping out in such a state would only reinforce everyone’s belief that these scandals were true. It hurt to be in this position, where I had no idea how to make things right. My years of hard work and dedication couldn’t just go down the drain like this."Dear, your temperature is high," he says, sitting next to me, feeling my forehead with his palm, but my body stiffens."Are you still thinking?" he asks."How did it go?" I manage to ask instead once I can compose myself."All fine," he announces, his face slightly contorted in a frown."What's wrong?" I ask."Nothing, just a little heartbroken that all this is happening to you. The fact that I'm still here in your house is, at least, an advantage." He reaches for the glass of water on the table. "Now take a little sip; it will help calm your heart.""No," I declare, but his gentle persistence wins, and I give in, leaning forward to take a small sip, hoping for a tiny shimmer of hope at the

Moment of AgonyOnce freed, I ran as fast as I could while they pursued me. I knew the risk was higher now, but it was the least of my concerns at that moment. My heartbeat raced as I stumbled upon a door. Hurriedly, I opened it, only to find myself at the back of the suite where the cops were stationed. Just as one of the men chasing me fired a shot, the bullet struck the doorframe, creating a sharp cracking sound as I scrambled to the other side.“Drop your weapons!” the police announced. Oblivious to the ambush, the men chasing me ran straight into police custody. I heaved a sigh of relief, clutching my chest in an attempt to ease the tension building within me.“Damn, that was a freaky risk,” I muttered under my breath. I had no idea I could run as fast or as boldly as I just had. Once settled, I glanced around, only to realize something was amiss. I distinctly remembered hearing the leader give orders as I fled. He had been following me, but now he was nowhere to be seen. Somethi

A Turn for The WorstMy heart raced drastically as I lifted my head to meet his gaze. Did he already sense that I had my eyes fixed on the dark-haired guy, apparently the leader who had just walked in? I thought to myself, but then the realization hit me hard: What if he’s part of the gang? I mean, judging from his appearance.I felt my stomach churn as I finally mustered the courage to reply.“What are you doing here?” I inquired, trying to mask my unease, which was clearly written on my features.He smirked. “Looking out for you,” he replied. I felt a little relieved and then a surge of anger.“Why can't you mind your business?” I asserted.“I can't mind my business while you’re still sitting here. Besides, I kept wondering why your supposed partner is taking so long to appear. Or were you just playing a fast one on me?” he questioned, smiling sheepishly.I tried so hard to hold back my anger, which was seething beneath the surface. It was glaringly obvious that he wasn’t part of th

Dungeon Celine's POVWalking past the hallway, I gasped, holding my breath as I took in the surroundings. A tiny pang pulled at me, but then a surge of determination suddenly took hold of my being. I wasn't used to places like this, yet I snapped back to focus as I stepped into the lounge.“Ma'am, what do you need?” a waitress asked, walking toward me. I glanced around, taking in the sight of the place. It revealed a more intense environment, a mix of individuals. Some had a dreaded appearance, wearing rugged, torn jeans or disheveled suits. A few others, more decently dressed, were all engrossed in their activities and fun.I found an empty table at the other end of the hall, away from the cramped seats and the litter of bottles beneath many of the tables. “Just give me water,” I said curtly, and the waitress hurried off to fulfill my request. My heart raced wildly, but I knew I had to end all of this once and for all. The leader of this particular group controlled the other organiz

ForbiddenQuickly brushing my hands off, a cool shiver ran down my spine. In a moment of clarity, I realized what had just happened, which jolted me. I reached for her hands, tapping gently, but there was no response.“Gosh, what have I done?”I hastily pulled away from her and stroked her hair, letting my fingers trail down the side of her neck. It was instantly cold, and I jerked backward in shock. My body broke into a cold sweat despite the chills running through me. This can’t be happening. No!“Mum!” I called to her, but there was no response. My body trembled slightly. I raised her hands gently, but they dropped slowly, and that was when the true reality struck me. No! No! What have I done? I slammed my hands hard on the couch, making a reverberating noise that echoed through the entire room. Amidst my worries and misery, I still realized that I had just done something I shouldn't have.“Mum!” I called again, my eyes fixed on her face, which was still innocent, her eyes slightly

Her deathHarry's POV A surge of relief washed through me as I anticipated her call. I had sent her another gift just yesterday and hoped she had received it.Morning had already come, yet I hadn’t heard from her; not even a text. The earlier relief was gradually fading away. She was right to treat me the way she did; I had tried so hard to absorb that truth. Still, I couldn’t shake off the urge to go see Mum. She had given me false information about Dad’s death, but Louis had advised me to calm down before confronting her. That advice, however, had lingered long enough.It had been two days of intense worry and sorrow. Each time there was a glimmer of hope, it drowned in an ocean of grief and bitterness. I doubted if I could hold on any longer; I couldn’t heal unless I sorted things out quickly. I pulled my phone out of my breast pocket and hesitated for a moment before typing a text to Celine.Countless texts had been sent over the past few days, yet none received a reply. Still, I

Another Battle?My heart wandered to what Sharon had said earlier, and I couldn't shake off the urgency I felt to meet her. She sounded too serious, and whatever important information she had to disclose, I knew it was related to the past. As much as I never wanted to revisit my past, I still needed to know what it was all about.I had the urge to call Evelyn, but I restrained myself. There was no need to burden her with my issues anymore. I tried to grasp sleep throughout the night as I awaited the morning, but all my efforts proved futile, and I was already giving up in frustration.I reached my hand to the head of the bed where my podcast device was. I tapped to play the popular music streaming on it, tuning it to a lower key and pitch before slumping back onto the bed. I carefully freed my mind from all worries, and soon, the music synced with my heart. Slowly, I closed my eyes, and soon, I drifted off to sleep.*****Sitting in this popular resort at the far-right end of the larg

Intriguing SuspenseCeline’s POVMy heart shattered even more as I watched his reactions and flimsy flirting excuses, which he thought would win me over. I felt like I was losing it. He had taken something precious from me in the past, and as if that wasn’t enough, he still had to hide it from me; an act I despised so much.“I never want to see you near us again,” I cursed, looking intensely at his derailed expression, masked with even greater pain and hurt.“Please, for the…”“Just go,” Henry cut in, and he swallowed hard. I hated seeing my son angry, just as much as I felt the pain of a reopened wound. If my mum were alive, I wouldn’t have gone through the torment I endured. I doubted I would have faced the ridicule and humiliation his singular action caused me. Glaring at him, still crouched on the floor, I felt like strangling the life out of him for taking what was so precious and priceless to me, yet I tried so hard to restrain the urge.“Why are you still pleading? Take your di

BrokenHarry's POVI felt a shiver run down my spine the moment she pointed to the diary on the floor. My heart skipped a beat; or thousands. I distinctly remembered tucking the diary into the shelves, so how did it end up here, on the floor in this room?"How did you get that?" I asked, the perplexed look on my face betraying my confusion.She scoffed, shooting me a deadly stare that set my entire body aflame. "You still have the nerve to ask that? Isn't it your handwriting on it? You're just so pathetic," Evelyn spat, and I winced."Just get out of here this minute!" Celine barked, and my heart sank even more. Her pained expression and the tears on her cheeks tugged at something inside me. I tried to reach for her, but Evelyn slapped my hand away, rolling her eyes derisively."Never try that again," she snapped. Celine said nothing, her head buried in her hands, her face a picture of intense disdain.I crouched low, dropping to my knees. "Please, I'm so sorry for whatever you saw in

ExposedCeline's POV“Get the things ready and well arranged in the car while I quickly change into something perfect,” I instructed the new driver who had just started working.“Alright, ma,” he responded, turning to leave as I headed towards the staircase.“Ahh, girl, I’m so happy for you!” Evelyn chimed in from the door, hobbling towards me with a smile plastered all over her face.“Please calm down. You know you don’t need to walk fast in your condition. Slow and steady,” I teased, and she scoffed.“So, I shouldn’t walk fast anymore? Where is it written?” she snapped.“In your antenatal instructions, of course.”“No, you could have just called me a little child that should crawl instead.” She finally reached me.“You aren’t dressed yet.”“Yeah, but I’m going upstairs to get dressed now. Aren’t you coming over to help me with buttoning up?” I asked.“You should have just taken me along with you. It’s obvious you were actually waiting for me, pretending not to care,” she teased, com
