Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 82
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

Unimaginable encounter Harry's POVWhy would Lily be with one of Jack’s men? I wandered around the living room, thousands of thoughts pouring into my heart over the past two days. I would have confronted her, but something in me held back that urge.It really hurt, and I felt it deep down. Ever since the day at the hospital, I haven’t set my eyes on her. And when I eventually saw her, she was with my rival’s man. How was I to feel? Not to mention Derick, whom I’ve tried several times to reach, but all attempts proved futile. It’s one more reason why my life has been taking a turn for the worse each passing day.Jack must think he’s won this fight, but deep down, I know I’ll survive. But until then, I must find my way back to Celine and her child. Their forgiveness is all that matters to me. However, I won’t let them find out about the incident. It was a mistake, and I’ve tortured myself over it these past days.“Boss, the guy is at the spot,” Louis interrupted, pulling me out of my t

The black carCeline's pov "What do you mean, Inspector Martins?" I asked, a bit perplexed. It wasn't supposed to be this difficult to find those culprits, except for incompetence."Are you admitting your incompetence before me?" I asked, glaring at him, my gaze fixed on his."Not at all, madam. I just need a little time…""That word, 'little time,' is what I don't have now. I have other business to attend to. The earlier you sort this out, the faster the train moves," I snapped, already heading out."This isn't as easy as you think," he blurted out, frustrated."Then you're not qualified to be a professional," I snapped, sliding the elevator door shut after selecting my office floor number, ignoring his excuses. My patience was already wearing thin, and things needed to be sorted out. I couldn't just sweep this under the rug as though nothing happened, especially when my son would have been dead if not for heaven’s intervention.Once on the third floor, I signaled Levi."Any new dev

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. I turned to find Alloy standing close by.“Ma'am, I think you should calm down. She

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
