Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 89
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

Sudden pushHarry’s POVI berated myself a thousand times for yelling back at her, just when I had the opportunity to speak directly with her. However, her arrogance wouldn't let the conversation flow without a fight. I doubted if she had grown to the point of neglecting others. Notwithstanding the fact that I had wronged her deeply in the past, hadn't I paid enough for my sins? Must she keep throwing darts at my face over and over again?I watched as Evelyn slightly pulled her back. I felt I shouldn't have yelled or expressed my anger, but she pushed more than expected. All my life, I haven’t been in the tight corner as I have been these past few days. First, it was Lily, who still possesses a stubborn bone in my throat, one that I took in unaware, and now, I can't get rid of it. How galling and reversed the situation had become in just a blink of time. Now, neither Celine nor Emma would give me the opportunity to explain. I could rage a thousand times more; the frustration was eatin

Awakening HopeCeline’s POVI could have looked past it if he had done it accidentally. But now, he deliberately tried to brush his dirty self on Evelyn when I became her saviour. I could see that deadly desire burning intensely in his darkened eyes. It wasn’t just the anger over whatever discussion they had—it was much stronger, like the kind he used to suppress whenever he wanted to make out with me back when we were still married.I cursed and scoffed at his disgusting behaviour. He had the nerve to do what, exactly, with my best friend? The same woman he claims is his friend's fiancée? How disgusting and low of him. He looked more repulsive than I ever thought possible.When I slapped him, I could sense his mind reset as he raced down the steps and left the room in haste.“How are you?” I asked, examining her properly. I was worried she might have been hurt by his sudden actions.“I’m alright. That asshole thought he could just do what again? Ugh!” She spat, shrugging off the part

Shocking TurnsHarry's POV"Why was I so careless to let myself attempt such an atrocity? It was just unbelievable, far beyond her imagination and comprehension. Stepping out of the large hall, almost flinching, I sauntered into my car, my heart pounding with heavy palpitations.I just messed up, and it damn well hurt. I thought of countless scandalous thoughts running through their minds. I knew I was the loose one right now; I was probably the bad guy. To think it was Evelyn I tried making advances on was never going to add up. What happened to the self-discipline I had labored to build over the years?I slammed my palms against the steering wheel. I was hurting, and I felt every bit of it, shredding my heart. Will I ever have a chance to speak with Celine again after the stunt I pulled? I sat there in the car, my eyes staring aimlessly in no particular direction. The bustling hum of music from the hall roared loudly, followed by the quick selection of another song. But my heart ref

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
