Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 95
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

Chaos Harry's POVSeated in the back seat of the car, my heart bitterly wandered to the countless atrocities and the series of repercussions taking their fierce grasp on me like a mighty claw of an intricate web. I was constantly in the midst of one trouble or another, each leaving me in abject pain and deep regret.How was I to explain everything, other than to find ways out of it? Every day became a thorn in a nightmare, and just as I was reeling from one, another would show itself. I pitied myself and my years of foolishness, thinking I would derive joy from oppressing others but unknowingly building my own downfall and cursed walls.“How did you get involved in such a delicate case?” His voice pulled me from my reverie, and I jolted back, my heart alert to his inquiries.“It was just an accident, a mistake I live to regret every day and every moment of my life,” I replied bitterly, my tone almost wavering.He turned his head toward me, sitting on my right. He narrowed his gaze, h

Chaos Celine’s POV“How dare you?” I retorted, stepping out of the car with so much anguish buried in my heart and soul. He not only tried his silly deals with me but also went as far as involving my son's life in his schemes.I moved straight toward them, my brows raised in disdain and pain. How could he do such a thing? It had been turmoil in my heart when Alloy broke the disheartening news to me, and I marveled for a second, thinking he was mincing his words. But after much persuasion and evidence, I was blown away by the news. Standing here and looking at his disgusting face, I felt like strangling the life out of him, if only I could.“Celine, I am so sorry. I never meant to do any of those things,” he begged.“Spare me that nonsense. I don’t need your damn apology,” I retorted.“Mum, is he the one that shot me?” Henry’s voice pulled me from behind, and my heart bled. I didn’t know he had followed me out of the car. I was so angry, filled with rage, that I didn’t notice. I felt

ChaosJack’s POV“How dare you? You think you can use me to get what you want and then dump me like I mean nothing, huh? Answer me!” she retorted, her face creased in a frown.I glared at her with so much resentment and horror. “You don’t tell me what to do; I call the shots here,” I snapped, my anger intensifying. “I decide what should be done and take measures to ensure it’s right.”“No, you got it all wrong! Need I remind you that I did all of that?” She placed her hands on her chest, clutching it hard. “I did. I single-handedly handed over the documents to you. I did all the inner work and spent nine years of my life doing that, taking all the stunts and hoops, and here you are taking the glory! Gosh, you are dumb!” she spat, and my rage grew more. A thunderous slap landed on her face in a blink of seconds. “You don’t spit at me. Don’t ever do that!” I covered the space between us in rage.“You dare lay your filthy hands on me, Jack?” Her hand rested on the left cheek where the sl

Creepy occurrencesCeline’s POVYou would see it coming. It better be a glitch or a joke. Each occurrence playing tricks in my subconscious as I mingle with the scenes in my heart. I watched them, I saw them, and I knew exactly what was happening; however, I will play it cool to this game as it unfolds, fully ready for their antics and shows all the way.Sitting in the office, I couldn't let go of my thoughts, my mind playing riffling games with my head, and the thoughts conflicting in a demanding way. Becky, Jack! Not really.“Ma'am, the client from Triffins is demanding a meeting with you, ma'am,” her voice pulled me out of my reverie. Talk of the devil herself. Calm, tender on the outside but sneaky, evil on the inside. I glared at her with disdain written all over my gaze, and she marvelled, uncomfortable, standing as if chasing dead ends.“Ma'am,” she called out once more, this time her tone wavering, my legs gradually trembling. “Have I done anything wrong?” she asked, her palms

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
