Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 81
CoincidenceOnce inside the car, my heartbeat accelerated, and my thoughts wouldn’t stop contemplating what had just happened. I thought I could let it slide, but no. The more I tried to let it go, the more the thoughts kept surging in my heart.I thought the best thing to do was to investigate more on the issue. That would only take me back to the past I longed to forget and avoid. However, it would also enlighten me on the things I needed to know, to clear my doubts and suspicions.“Mummy,” Henry called out, tapping my hand.“Yes, cutie,” I replied, turning to face him.“Why did you hit him? I didn’t raise you to be a wrestler or a fighter,” I inquired, my voice much calmer now.His face turned serious, and he lowered his head, picking at his nails.“Mum, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again,” he answered, his tone and expression etched with sincerity.“Alright, promise me this won’t repeat itself again.”A moment of silence filled the space.“I promise, Mum,” he said, placing his hand

A hug with the pastShe always got to show herself now and then. The trance wasn't just relatable to my heart. I could burst at the slightest second, but I chose to remain poised and watch until whoever was in the vehicle stepped down.“What’s she doing here? Or is she also planning a wedding?” Evelyn asked, her face masked in confusion.“You remember her, right?” I asked, my eyes still fixed on the black tinted limousine.“Yes, of course. How could I have forgotten her in a hurry? I remember the day at the mall like it was yesterday,” her voice asserted.Our gaze remained fixed on the spot. Must he take ages to step out of the car? I wondered, already running out of patience. I didn’t know why I chose to unravel who she was involved with, but we remained unmoved, waiting decisively.“Oh, finally, there he goes,” Evelyn let out a sigh as our eyes widened in disbelief upon identifying the man.“What!” we exclaimed simultaneously, our voices in unison, our mouths parting in shock.“What

TerminationHarry’s POVI had just been informed that Evelyn was seen around this vicinity with someone who hadn't yet been identified. Taking my keys, I decided to drive to the venue, leaving Louis behind to sort out some things in the office while I was out.It was a cold evening when I stepped out of the car. The evening breeze blew through, sending shivers down my spine. My eyes strayed to every corner of the spot. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew deep down I was going to persuade her to tell me Celine’s whereabouts, her friend.If she could go to great lengths to hide her location, then I wasn’t certain what to expect other than to maintain a positive attitude. My eyes narrowed as I scanned the surroundings, but she wasn’t in sight. I doubted she was in the bridal shop, as I hadn’t been properly informed.What would she be doing in a bridal shop? The question popped into my head, and I decided to check, uncertainty sweeping through my heart like a tidal wave.Then I saw h

Shocking TurnsCeline's POVGoing through the files on the desk, I stumbled upon one labelled -Smithford Corporation. My heart quickened. This was supposed to be sorted out earlier, before the scheduled date of the meeting.“Ahh,” I muttered under my breath, pulling the file out of the pile. I had been so occupied with work that I forgot about the meeting.Flipping to the second page, what I saw blew me off my feet, my eyes widening in surprise. I couldn’t believe what had just happened: an alliance with -Harry Smith Companies?No, that can’t be true. To clear my curiosity, I flipped through the pages of the file and stumbled upon that signature, the one I could never forget, even in my dreams. The same signature that was on those divorce papers years ago.“How dare he? How could he think for a moment that he could form an alliance with my company after everything he’s done to me in the past? The company I built from scratch?” I yelled in frustration, banging the desk hard.“Ma, is ev

Shocking TruthHarry’s POVI had never participated in any attack except those of high importance and value to me. Evaluating the detrimental aspects of the termination, my rage surged even more than expected.I instructed the car to be parked in a more secluded area where I could neither be noticed nor traced back. The school had cameras all around.Soon she got out of the car after some delay. My brows furrowed even more. Her back was all I could see as she made her way towards the school entrance. The students were coming out in a rush, and soon a cute little boy approached her, hopping into her arms for a hug. My heart melted, but I was determined to exact my revenge on whoever was involved. The boy’s resemblance to me was questionable. Narrowing my gaze, I tried to evaluate my findings, but this time, his face was hidden by his mother’s arms.Just then, Larry fired the bullet. She turned, and what greeted my eyes swept me off my feet. My heart ached, beating faster than a drum."

Shredded HeartCeline's POV“What was he doing here?” I screamed in my heart when my gaze met his. He had no business appearing here. But how did he even know about the incident? It's obvious he has his eyes on me, and I would make sure to frustrate him.I leaned forward into Levi's embrace to send more shivers down his spine. He should feel half the pain of rejection that I felt many years ago. Truthfully, I hated him. Under his disgusting gut, he always found a way to interfere with my life.“How is he doing, and what really happened?” Evelyn asked after Harry had left.My heart was beating faster than I could imagine, my eyes dripping with pain.“You have to pull yourself together, girl, you need to be calm,” Evelyn consoled.I leaned forward in the embrace, praying that my son was fine. I didn’t even know where to start explaining what happened, but one thing was certain: whoever was after me would not like what was coming.I had grown past that level of intimidation. I don't know

Tension"Ma, take a look at these photos," Levi said, stretching the tablet in his hands toward me. My curiosity piqued, as did Evelyn’s, who leaned forward to take a look.I fixed my gaze on the footage, but it wasn’t clear enough for me to figure out anything."It seems this picture was captured from the faulty CCTV device. It isn’t clear enough," I expressed, letting out the frustration building up in my heart."Yeah, that’s true, but why would he send footage that isn’t clear?" Evelyn asked."I think he said they’re working on it to identify the culprits," Levi suggested."Alright, let me know promptly if there are any other developments.""Sure, Ma," Levi responded, burying his head in the tablet. As we were about to saunter into the mansion, something stirred in my heart—a new determination. Turning to Levi, I said,"Get another detective involved in this case. I need every bit of information about the incident," I instructed, then turned toward the door and entered."Mummy, wha

The expectedA grin spread across his face as he held my hands, planting a loving kiss on them before crouching low on his knees. My heart soared once more, and this time, I was determined to give this tireless man a "yes" for his relentless efforts to win me over.“Please, my lady, will you be mine again?” he asked, his hands dipping into his pant pockets to retrieve the ring. To my amazement, his gaze remained fixed on mine.“Please, girl, forgive him and accept him back; for my sake and Henry's,” Evelyn's voice surged from behind almost immediately, and I winced.“Yes, he deserves one more chance,” Aaron added.I stayed still, determined in my thoughts, my face adorned with a grin.

Sorrowful momentWithout hesitation, I tapped to receive the call, my head lowered and my heart racing. By now, the applause had stopped, but Harry still remained kneeling with the ring in his hands, his face showing a mix of disappointment and uncertainty.“Hel…” I started, but his voice cut me off almost immediately.“Please, you need to come. The report is bad, and Evelyn needs you,” he asserted, and my heart sank.“Okay, I’ll be right there,” I responded. The call ended almost immediately from his end. I hurriedly lowered the phone from my ear, casting a sorry gaze at Harry.“Please, I need to leave. It’s about Evelyn,” I announced. Without glancing around at the murmurs that arose once more, I hastily addressed the team, then stormed to the car and drove off almost immediately to the hospital.Once at the hospital, I hurriedly made my way through the lobby and down the hallway leading to the maternity section. I knew she would be there. As I had suspected, I spotted Aaron speakin

Two Weeks LaterCeline’s POVA lone tear dropped from my eye as I walked along the aisle toward the pavilion. My heart couldn’t stop wondering how I got here; a pathway filled with endless struggles and challenges. A path where evil loomed, but amidst the overwhelming obstacles and chaos, I succeeded, alongside the great team that stood firm with me. It felt like a dry bone coming back to life.The roaring applause of the crowd and the overwhelming feeling of having everything under control struck me with a sense of fulfillment—the kind that comes when one keeps a promise. That, I had lived to remember for seven years, ever since Dad was buried."I wish I could see him again and tell him everything is now fine and under control," I whispered in my heart, never stopping to wander through the familiar thoughts crowding my mind.The media buzzed around the hall, fixing and focusing their cameras on me. The grin on my face widened as a surge of joy erupted through me. As I climbed the pa

Rising Tension"Why can't I go inside?""That's the instruction, sir. I'm so sorry if it doesn't sit well with you, but please, you can't go in," he explained."I see. Is your madam at home?""Not really. She stepped out a few minutes ago. I thought you might have driven past her on your way here.""Not at all," I replied, feeling a pang of devastation. My eyes fell on the drink I held in my hands, and all the carefully rehearsed words I had practiced in the car suddenly felt meaningless."Can I leave this for her?""Not at all, sir. I think you should give it to her yourself; it would be much better," he replied. I sighed and turned to leave, my feet dragging sluggishly against the ground.Just then, a voice called out from behind."What are you doing here? I thought I told you last time not to come near us! Why are you still bent on bringing us more trouble?"I turned to meet his angry gaze. His words were far too harsh for a child his age, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that

Bad OccurrenceHarry's POVIt's been a heck of an experience for me. The shock and the stigma felt increasingly heavy, almost suffocating the life out of me. I still felt as though the chains of the forbidden were caging me, weighing me down like an unbearable burden.“Boss, you need to do something before everything escalates beyond what we can handle,” Louis, who had come over, suggested with a concerned expression.I sat still, lost in thought, struggling to figure out what to do. It was fortunate that the news hadn’t picked up on this yet, but I needed Celine's help to navigate through this mess before it did. Otherwise, it would tarnish the company’s reputation irreparably. This disaster, which I had been grappling with for the past twenty-four hours, left me filled with regret. I doubted it would ever leave my mind; not now, not ever. Mom’s face still appeared before me repeatedly. The moments when she smiled, the happy times we shared; all of them taunted my heart relentlessly.

The Unforseen I held her hands in pain as the other corps members rushed toward us. My gaze became blurry from the tears that clouded my eyes.“Ma'am, step aside,” the officer instructed, but I remained unmoved. I couldn't let go of her hands. Watching her lying motionless pricked a deep part of my heart, and I didn’t even notice if the guy was caught or not. Everything else felt irrelevant at that moment.He leaned in, turning her over slowly and placing his ear on her chest.“I think she’s still alive,” he muttered, and a sudden wave of relief washed over me.Soon, she was wheeled into the ambulance, and I followed suit. Once at the hospital, she was rushed into the emergency room while I waited impatiently in the waiting area, praying earnestly that nothing would happen to her.I stood there, lost in my thoughts of grief and anguish, when a hand rested on my shoulder, jolting me almost immediately.

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
