Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 37
Depth The dirty, filthy scent of the air, thick with a sense of dread, suddenly irritated my being, sending shiver down my spine. I slowly opened my eyes, but what greeted me was darkness, impenetrable darkness. It felt as though I was in a dungeon, the walls themselves closing in.The air was thick and musty, carrying the rotten scent of death, making my stomach lurch. The urge to vomit surged, and I clutched my hand to my stomach, while my other hand covered my nostrils. I was suffocating. I doubted I could survive one more minute in such a disgusting atmosphere; the stench was overwhelming.The walls were made of rough-hewn stone, cold to touch and covered in patches of moss and creeping vines. Flickering torches mounted on the walls cast eerie shadows that danced along the corridors, revealing glimpses of rusted iron gates and heavy wooden doors reinforced with metal bands.The last thing I remembered was the guards dragging me to the car, Evelyn shouting and pulling at me, but t

UncertainI slowly opened my eyes as a bit of reality struck. My vision was blurry, and the pain in my body alerted me, but by now, I was warm. The cold chills were gone, my wet dress was slightly dried, and I could tell I was near a heater. I couldn't comprehend how, in such a short time, everything had changed. My body was almost steady, apart from the pain I still felt, which caused me to groan.I lifted my gaze slightly, only to meet an unfamiliar figure. My heart quickened, and I slowly sat upright, my fear evident in my expression. He was seated next to me, and my eyes narrowed as I suddenly realized I was in a moving car. Stunned by how and where I had been taken, I fixed my gaze on the figure, whom I presumed to be the boss, fear written all over my face.“You're awake. How are you feeling right now?” he asked quickly, interrupting my thoughts and making me feel more uneasy. He didn’t seem harmful—his expression revealed only concern and worry—but his voice was familiar, or wa

Where’s Henry“No sir, you might be mistaking me for someone else,” I lied, trying hard to mask my fear. How was I getting into more complicated situations every day? From Dad's death to the funeral, then the dungeon, and now I was with someone I had offended in the past, just when I thought I had a chance of escaping once again.“Why don't I believe you?” he spat, gazing directly at me, probably in deep thought. “And why does your expression contradict your words?” His tone dripping with uncertainty. At that point, my heart raced. Even in my feeble state, I wished he would just drop me off, but how could I be sure I was safe in an unfamiliar place like this? The only way out was to maintain my stance of not knowing who he was.“No, I’m right,” he said with a grin on his face. “You mentioned having a son earlier, which explains it all. The last time we met, you had a bulge, and now it’s clear. You're the one.” He narrowed his eyes at my flattened stomach. I was doomed. What could I do

Aaron Lincoln“Henry, where are you?” The words left my mouth, my heart already bleeding. But then, the earlier voice surged from concern, I realized I was just emotionally carried away, and I felt sorry.“Oh, Celine, ahh,” it was Evelyn who was in the house. But why didn't I recognize her voice when I was outside? My thoughts were numb, and my reasoning was cool, like an iceberg.“Are you alright? Where did they take you? I hope they didn’t harm you. How did you get back?” Her numerous questions of concern only befuddled my mind and made it more delicate. She had already grasped my wrist and, with her other arm, touched me everywhere, ensuring I was healthy. My expressions quivered with intense emotion.I turned my gaze to my bed only to see Henry sleeping peacefully with his thumb in his mouth. “Jess,” I gasped, clutching my palms to my chest as a surge of relief enveloped my being. I couldn't wave off the excitement in my heart at the sight of my precious jewel once again. I hurled

Harry’s povWhy would he keep me waiting? Who the heck does he think he is? Picking up the glass from its stand and glancing at my wristwatch, I noticed it was already past the actual time. This I had done a million times in less than an hour.I gulped the wine from the glass and dropped it almost forcefully, leaving a visible crack on it. I cursed myself subconsciously when I realized what I had done. "It wasn't my damn fault," I muttered, trying to clear my head. I felt really frustrated.I was supposed to have received his call by now so I could send the driver to pick him up. All the reservations were in place, but he was about an hour late, and still no call. The urge to call him surged, but I restrained myself. Leonard Anderson was a cruel, ruthless billionaire who frowned upon being called, especially in situations like this.I wouldn’t sabotage this long-standing effort for anything. It had taken me a lot to convince him that my company was the right fit for the job, so why wo

Celine’s PovPlaying with little Henry at the park was a way I employed to escape the tense feeling and the atmosphere of futile efforts.After realizing that Aaron Lincoln was my dad's lawyer and the one in charge of the case, I put in all the effort I could to assist him, doing the little we could to sabotage and overturn the verdict. But the more we dug into the case, the more complex it became. Williams had been involved in so much fraud, and fighting the case only uncovered other hidden aspects of his dealings.There were things I never knew about him until now—certain dealings that were so messy, I couldn’t have imagined them. At first, I saw him as a ruthless, stern billionaire who merely possessed a domineering character that intimidated everyone around him. They all seemed to become subjects before him. Little did I know there was more behind it. To think that I once vowed to recover all his wealth is something I slightly regret. But still, I have to fight and forge ahead. He

Harry’s povThat child she was carrying and chuckling at was definitely Jack's blood, and this realization struck me hard, causing my heart to race. I was on the verge of a life-changing deal, yet the joy vanished the moment I caught sight of her.Why was she always in view? Whenever my heart was in ecstasy, she was truly a joy-stealer, and my hatred for her grew the day I learned from the hospital report that her child was too young to be mine, based on when I divorced her. To think she had the nerve to open her legs for that bastard Jack was something I had tried to forget all this time. Now, seeing her again only revived those hard feelings, and my heart boiled.It was a good thing that the child was now in the world, and I strongly believed that if I took this child away from the face of the earth, Jack would be half-dead and utterly broken. I knew he thought he would get away scot-free for making an attempt on my life. No, that wasn't going to happen. I made sure Lily and Derrick

HenryCeline’s povJust when we were about to leave the park, I noticed a group of guys entering. They looked cool but rude in their demeanor, and I doubted if they were also there to catch a glimpse of nature's beauty.“So, psychos also visit the park,” I thought to myself. Such a question was out of place because it was none of my business. When did I start prying into matters that didn’t concern me? I mean, it was an open and free place for anyone to visit, except for the entrance fee, which was high and made it the best park in the city.I hastily packed our things, put Henry back in his carrier, and shoved everything into the bag. I stopped for a deep breath, casting a sideways glare at the couple who had narrowed their eyes at us. We had already spent enough time here, and my meeting with Lincoln was just thirty minutes away. He was the kind of person who valued punctuality and frowned upon lateness. I wasn’t in the mood for his tantrums. The sooner we left, the better.I had re
