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
Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 92
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

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

AcceptedHarry's POVI could feel her breath heavily against mine as I deepened the kiss, my tongue savoring every drop of sweetness from her lips. I only pulled away when I realized she was out of breath.My gaze fixed on her intensely; I could see the fire and sparks buried within her eyes. I wasn't going to let go. I had long desired this moment, but somehow, I was denied it by the circumstances that followed thereafter.I kissed her again, enjoying every moment as she groaned, feeling the tingling sensation in her body. Her hands strayed to my back, her fingers digging deep through my shirt. I kissed her even more, lifting her to sit on the table while keeping our lips locked. My hands moved through her long, flowing gown, sliding up from her knees to her thighs. Her groans intensified, stirring my desire to continue. I could feel myself getting hard, not wanting to stop anytime soon.Just then, a bit of sanity struck me, hitting me hard enough to reset my senses. I stopped in my

Tingling SensationCan't believe he said those words. Wasn't he supposed be glad if I gave him a second chance in our lives. Or was he just putting on an act to get at me?“Why did you say that?” Evelyn asked, her eyes widened in shock as well. I silently thanked her in my heart for speaking up.“Because it's not the right time for that. Besides, my top priority is to ensure she's in perfect condition and not the other way around.”“Alright, if you say so,” Evelyn exclaimed.“But Dad, I can't wait for us to be one happy family again. Besides, Mum isn’t complaining about it, is she?” He turned to ask me, and I froze in place.“Mum!”“Yes, cutie, not really,” I replied, and he grinned.“You see, Mum isn’t complaining.”“Can we drop this issue for now? There are many other things to deal with right now.”“See, there is,” I replied, feeling utterly relieved at that moment. I wasn’t going to face any tough questions, even though I knew Henry had many to ask.*****Two months laterI steppe
