Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 91
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

ChaosCeline’s POV“Ma'am, the clients are extremely worried about the news, and I doubt it's good for our reputation,” Becky reported.I still couldn't imagine how this issue had turned into a piercing bone lodged in my throat. Everything was settled and dealt with already. The building's opening was successfully accomplished, yet someone seemed to have reopened old wounds. But how and why?“Do we have a spy, or should I put it more clearly? Do we have an enemy within?” I asked sternly but pensively.She was taken aback by my words, but almost immediately, she understood them. Her expression became calculating.“Ma'am, I have no clue whatsoever,” she replied after a brief silence, adjusting the blue gown she wore that fell beneath her knees. She had the decency to do that, but I would come back to it later, just not now.“Then tell me, how did the case of the leaky roof, which had already been sorted, get out to the public, and even the media has covered it? Tell me!” I blurted angri

Chaos Dread washed over my entire being like a tidal wave, my heart pinching harder and faster with uncertainty as I flipped through the pages of the newspaper. Each page ignited the spark of my eyes with horror, unable to fathom the sudden, swift punch, but I continued until the last page, only to find no news about Harry.I knew Evelyn wouldn't pull such a stunt or juice up stories about him. Maybe the headlines weren’t in this particular newspaper. However, I tapped my chest to ease my racing heart and caught a glimpse of stillness within myself. Having not fully recovered from sorting out the company’s issues and the culprit, I didn't want more stress over issues that pertained to outsiders, including Harry. Whatever it was that involved him had no business with me, and as such, I pulled strings to distance myself.“Ma'am, here are the full footages of the dealings from the end of the project to the faults arising, as you demanded earlier,” the director in charge stretched forth

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
