Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 86
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

ExposedMy heart quickened at that moment. The message I had gotten earlier from an anonymous sender while in the car on the way here. At first, when I received the beep and slid to find the anonymous message, I had no interest whatsoever in what the person had to say. But right now, I suddenly had the urge to check the message as my heart raced."It may be of no interest to you, but I want you to properly investigate him.""who?" I snapped. But then, who could be sending a message like this, and why would the person say those words? That only fueled my suspicion, determination, and confusion."Madam, you've not been listening," the detective called back my attention, and I was also startled."I want you to properly investigate my ex for me, give me every bit of information about him," I ordered, my tone unreadable. But why him? I had no explanation, just the sudden urge. “Also I need information concerning Jack Liam.”"Alright, ma'am, I will do just that. But you know, every investig

A Moment with Her“What! How could he do all that to you? After everything you’ve been through with him, he’s such an asshole to think he could just be messing with women like that, without a second thought. How mean, ruthless, and heartless men can be!” I snapped, my heart rising and falling in annoyance. I never would have expected or believed any of it if I hadn’t heard it directly from the source. That was just too mean and rude."That’s what I’m saying. If you hadn’t spoken up, I wouldn’t have known what was happening right under my nose. He’s such a sneaky green snake in the grass,” she retorted. I could sense the rage in her tone, but then I felt pity for her."I never knew from that day at the school that you were the same woman I met at the mansion six years ago. You’ve really changed a lot," she praised, but my heart was far off, dripping in rage and betrayal.It had been barely two days since I got the most shocking news of my life. Aside from the fact that he was involved

Unexpected encounter"How could you do such a thing?" I snapped, my heart racing wildly at the sight of him. He stood there, mouth agape, eyes wide. He tried to speak, forcing the words out, but they wouldn’t come."Surprised that I found out?" I bellowed, glaring at his pensive gaze. A single phone call could have ended all this, but I chose to keep calm for reasons I couldn’t yet comprehend. Maybe he had an explanation for his actions. But no, all I got was a disapproving silence.I smirked angrily. "Guess you…" The ring of my phone interrupted me mid-sentence. I crouched to retrieve it from my side pocket. I was wearing a crop top and everyday trousers."Where are you? Don’t tell me you’re still not here?" Her voice asserted sternly."I’ll be there now," I replied, slipping the phone back into my pocket."I’ve got nothing more to say to you. Just wait until you hear from me," I snapped, turning and hopping into my car. I gave him one last glance before slamming the door behind me.

The OutburstThat look on Evelyn's face said it all. She knew nothing about this; it was sudden, unexpected, and incomprehensible. How was it possible? I asked myself, still perplexed by the closeness. Did it mean that Aaron was Harry's friend? Never. I would see this through to the end of his deceit.I watched as they marched forward. Harry seemed at ease, slightly poised, even after realizing I was in the hall. He chose to walk to the other end, avoiding my gaze, which held a mix of expressions—a scowl, then surprise. That was fine by me, and I felt much better knowing he never attempted to come in my direction.Lincoln walked over toward me. "Pleased to see you after so many years," he chimed, a warm grin on his face, still as cute as ever. He moved to the podium to stand alongside Evelyn, who looked a little uncomfortable in the atmosphere."Thank you, distinguished ladies and gentlemen of inestimable value. We are pleased you honored our invitation. We hope to make it an enjoyabl

I resolved to make amends for all my past mistakes, creating and nurturing beautiful, lasting memories, even amidst any struggles that might come our way.“Dad, can we stop at Moore’s? I want to get my favorite candy,” Henry said, pointing toward the store on the left side of the street.“Alright, anything for you, son,” I replied, and he grinned, biting his hand playfully.“Thank you, Dad!” he cheered.

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. Finally, I whimpered,“Yes, I’ll give you another chance, to be yours again.”With a relieved smile, he hastily slid the ring onto my finger and rose to his feet.“Thank you. I promise I’ll never hurt you again,” he said, his eyes widening with sincerity.“Are you sure?” I asked, my voice trembling sligh

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. 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
