Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 126: I'll tell you
**Third person**The look in Valerie's eyes almost sent shivers down Karen's spine. Almost. But after what Adam had done, she was grateful for Valerie's determination.Karen adjusted on the bed. “Why are you doing this? What do you stand to gain?” She asked, a mixture of confusion and curiosity etched on her face. “You and Adam are lovers, and with me out of the picture, you can get everything you've dreamed of.”Valerie clenched her jaw. “Your husband and I are not lovers,” she stated firmly.“But he likes you. You could have used that… Why save me?”Karen was more than happy that Valerie had saved her, but she needed to know Valerie's motives.“I can't stand cruelty,” Valerie said with a blank look.Karen didn't buy Valerie's response. She knew that there was more; probably Adam had denied Valerie a favor, and she wanted to get back at him, but she didn't push it. Whatever reasons Valerie had weren't her concern as long as she'll also get what she wants.“So what type of evidence do

**Third person**“My father wasn't the typical kind of father… He was abusive. Towards me and my mom.” Lucas swallowed, vivid images flashing through his mind.“To me… I could understand. But my mom, she didn't deserve it,” he chuckled, and Valerie knew all too well that he was trying to mask his pain. She racked her brain on how to comfort him, but at the end, she just decided to be quiet and listen.“The day I remember vividly. I was playing with my toys in the room. And then I heard banging sounds…” He trailed off, his chest tightening.Valerie pressed her eyes shut; she already knew where he was headed.Luca shrugged to seem unbothered. “I guess it was the same thing they always talked about.”“What's that?” She whispered, her throat tight and her eyes stung with tears.“Saying my mom trapped him with her pregnancy. She knew that he didn't want to settle down, but yet she got pregnant with m—” His voice broke, and then he laughed again.“It was nothing serious. He was hitting her,

**Valerie** "Lucas," I whispered urgently, my heart skipping a beat. “Shh,” he whispered back, squeezing my hand briefly to reassure me. We all crouched down at the dark corner, and we heard footsteps approaching until it was clear that the guard had almost closed in on us. My pulse quickened, and my heart was beating way too loudly. Too loudly that I knew Matt and Lucas could both hear it. Matt held onto my other hand, and I know he wanted to tell me that it'll be fine, but we couldn't risk being heard. As soon as the guard got to our corner, he stumbled against Lucas's strategically placed leg. Matt moved over immediately and held him down from falling with a loud thud. With a swift motion, Lucas snapped the man's neck and the life in him escaped. I gasped. “Is he… Is he dead?” Lucas shook his head. “Nope. He'll probably wake up hours later with no idea of what hit him.” My brows raised. “Probably?” I echoed. “He'll wake up,” he clarified with a small chuckle. Then Matt la

**Valerie** My heart raced with fear as beads of sweat trickled down the sides of my face. “H-how come?” I stuttered. “I thought he wasn't supposed to be here.” I couldn't afford to be caught right now. At least for the sake of the final plan I had. I needed to be on Adam's good side for it to work out. Oh goodness… Matt's panic-stricken face turned to glance at us again. “Lucas will keep you safe. I'll create a diversion,” he said immediately and then stepped out of the study. “Ma—” I tried to call out, but he had already disappeared, the door shutting behind him. Lucas held me. “It'll be fine, okay?” His hands rubbed my shoulders soothingly as he pulled me closer. That's when I noticed how calm he was—or maybe how calm he pretended to be, because I couldn't tell. It was almost as if he'd anticipated it. “What if it isn't?” My shaky voice asked. “Matthew has gone outside to divert them,” he reminded me, his hands still rubbing my shoulders and trying to calm my nerves. “B

**Third person**Valerie came to work the next day feeling cheerful. They'd been given a two-day leave after they returned from the yacht. The leave was for them to rest and recover from all that happened before they start working again.The two days have been really productive for Valerie. After Lucas met them outside, he'd explained everything that happened inside with Adam. Afterwards, they'd driven to the police station, where Elliot handed over a copy of the video—the one where Adam had tried to kill his second wife, Karen—to the police. Both Lucas's and Valerie's faces were known by the public, and so neither of them could risk going in there to submit the evidence.“You look really bright today,” Gabriel pointed out as he walked over to Valerie's chair. Of course she was. Adam will definitely get arrested today, and if everything goes as planned for her, then she'll be able to bring down Karen and her parents too.But Val gave Gabriel a suppressed smile. “It's nothing. I jus

**Third person**The cold, grey walls of the jail seemed to close in around Adam as he was led through the booking process. The fluorescent lights overhead cast an unforgiving glare, making every line and crease on his face stand out.After protesting relentlessly throughout the drive, he was finally silent until they passed an open office and his eyes caught a glimpse of the television.He stopped abruptly. “Wait.” Then he looked at the two officers who were behind him. “What's that?!” Adam demanded.They glanced at the TV too, but they didn't respond. Adam stared at the screen again, his features etched with surprise. He had only been arrested just now. "Businessman Adam Smith Arrested for Murder of Wife," read the headlines.Adam felt his head spin. This wasn't good for business; their stock prices will drop. Their market value will drop too. And all for what? They didn't even have tangible evidence on him.“Fuck it!” He growled, his voice dripping with venom. “Even getting you fir

**Third person** “Valerie…” Gabriel called out gently, confusion still written boldly on his face. “What messages are you talking about? I haven't sent you any.” Valerie just gawked at him with a look that told him she was just as confused as him. “Someone has been sending you messages and saying that he is me?” Gabriel asked, still trying to make sense of everything. “No, no,” Val shook her head, finally snapping out of her daze. “Someone has been texting me, and I thought it was you.” Then she stared at him, as if trying to read him. If he wasn't the anonymous person, then how did he know about her identity? “So how did you know that I'm Ash…” She trailed off, not wanting to say her name. “How did you know that I'm the one?” He smiled. The type of smile that hides a lot beneath it. “Let's go somewhere more private.” Gab began moving, and Valerie followed quietly. They got into a storage room, and he shut the door behind them. “Remember the night that Mr. Denver took us ou

**Third person**Karen sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the door absentmindedly. She took a deep breath, her mind racing with the events of the past few days. That lowlife bastard! She cussed, her fists clenching. How dare he?! Did he really think that she'll go down without a fight?"Hello?" She called out, and a few moments later, the door opened. Elliot entered.“Do you know anything about what's going on with Adam?” She asked him.A muscle in Elliot's jaw ticked and he pondered upon the reply to give. “Your husband was arrested today for your murder after the evidence was submitted,” he answered casually.Karen smirked wickedly and then stood up from the bed. She began pacing the length of the room. “That was quite fast,” she murmured.Elliot didn't say anything.Karen paused in her track and glanced at the man who was still standing by the door with his hands behind his back. "I need to make a call,” she blurted out."I don't think that's a good idea,” Elliot replied in a mon

**Third person**Matt seemed to ponder for a moment before he exhaled deeply. Then he moved over to the table and picked up a small knife. He began cutting the ropes. His jaw clenched at the red mark the ropes left on her skin, a pang of guilt coursing through him. He'd done this to her, he thought. “Do you need me to get you anything from the store?”Finally untied, Valerie examined her free hands and legs, a sense of relief and determination washing over her. “No, thanks.”“I'll be back soon.” He gave her a warning look. “Don't try anything stupid.”She nodded vigorously. “I wouldn't dare.”Satisfied, Matthew turned around and headed out. Valerie had her timid and innocent mask on, until the moment Matthew was out of view.She squeezed her eyes shut and then began counting from one to fifty in her head, giving Matthew enough time to leave the premises. Even with her eyes closed, she could hear the locks click behind him.When she was done, she sprang to her feet, her eyes desperat
Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 166: Untie me
**Third person**Eighteen hours had passed since Valerie's disappearance.Lucas stood in the center of his living room, surrounded by computers and anxious faces. His team of experts, handpicked from the best in the business, worked tirelessly to track down any lead on his woman.But so far, neither his team nor the police have been able to come up with anything tangible. There was also no signal from the tracker in Valerie's necklace. Either her kidnapper knew that the necklace was bugged and got rid of it, or they were under water, in a bunker, or somewhere that'll block the signal.One thing for sure; he'd find Valerie and he'd find her soon. Even if it meant turning the planet upside down. She'd be found.News about her and disappearance was all over the media and there was a huge cash prize for whoever brought relevant information on her whereabouts. Lucas ran a palm across his exhausted face. Deep lines creased his forehead, and his jaw was set in a rigid clench. "Broaden the
Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 165: Why are you doing this?
**Third person**It was almost as if Valerie disappeared just when Elliot blinked. After dismissing the woman who'd come to talk to him, he looked up but he didn't find his boss.Damnit! He'd clenched his jaw and quickened his pace, his hand instinctively resting on the gun holstered at his hip as he rushed outside. Eyes scanned everywhere around but there was no trace of her. "Miss Thorne?" he called out, his mind racing. “Ashley?” He called louder.“Valerie?”There was no response. Immediately, he dialed her number… once, twice, thrice… until it was unreachable.He'd rushed over to some passersby to ask if they'd seen her… There was nothing. Shit! Just then, his phone started ringing. Elliot pulled the device out and stared at the screen, his throat suddenly feeling dry as he registered the caller ID—Mr. Stone.He took a deep breath and then pressed the answer button.*****************************Valerie's eyes fluttered open, her gaze was blurry and unfocused. She tried to sit

**Third person**Valerie's blood ran cold as she stared at the picture attached to the message. It was a picture of a small boy, no more than two years old. The fact that he was a spitting image of Lucas Stone had goosebumps erupting all over her skin—same blue eyes, jet-black hair, nose, lips, jawline…Val's heart rate increased. Her son was truly alive?“We’re heading to the hospital; Mr. Stone said we're meeting him there?” Elliot asked, his hands already on the ignition.Valerie nodded absent mindedly and he started the car.She felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins as she stuck her head outside the window. Breeze hit her face but it did nothing to calm her. She knew that she had to lose Elliot, and fast. As the car moved through the city, she spotted a convenience store up ahead and made a split-second decision. "I need to stop and get some water," she said suddenly.Elliot frowned and glanced at the bottle of water sitting in the middle of the car compartment.

**Third person**Valerie's smile broadened into a full-blown grin. "Oh, don't think it's unfair if justice isn't served for your lover's sister."Karen frowned, her eyes narrowing. "My lover? What do you mean?" What did this have to do with Victor, she hasn't even heard from him, Karen wondered.Valerie locked her eyes onto Karen's. "Victor, your bodyguard... the one you've been fucking.” She paused to study Karen's face—she didn't look so confident anymore. “But you killed his sister."Karen's face drained of blood, her eyes wide and her lips parting with shock. Valerie continued, "The young lady who took care of Nathaniel Scott."Dread coursed through Karen, her mind shifting back to the night Nathaniel was killed. He'd been with a woman, and when Adam killed Mr. Scott, the woman witnessed it. Karen had to silence her.A small smile found its way to Valerie's lips as she studied the horrified look on Karen's face. "So now, does it finally ring a bell?"Karen's eyes stung with tears

**Third person**Valerie woke up to a wet sensation on her clit. A shiver coursed through her spine, her nipples hardening.The sensation continued, and she was forced to open her eyes. She wiped her heavy eyes with the back of her palm and then looked down between her legs, where the source of the heat she was feeling came from. Lucas, with his head between her thighs, looked up, his tongue still whipping her sensitive clit. “Morning, babe,” he murmured. Valerie blinked a couple of times to clear her eyes. She arched her back and she cried out in pleasure when he slipped a finger inside her. “W-what are you doing?” She managed to ask between moans.He smiled and looked up at her again, with those dark, desire-filled eyes. Her cheeks flushed as she noticed her pussy juice rubbed all over his mouth and its surroundings. “I've always dreamed of waking you up like this,” she murmured, his voice rough.Lucas slipped another finger in her and began pumping, his tongue returning to her c

**Third person**Karen's face went pale, and she was silent. The officer spoke up again. “What will it be, Mrs. Smith? Will you rat your parents out to save your skin?”Finally, Karen's eyes flashed with defiance, locked on the officer’s. "No."The officer's expression didn't change, but her voice took on a slightly harder edge. "Mrs. Smith, we have evidence. We know your parents were involved. It's better for you if you cooperate."Karen's jaw set, her eyes blazing with determination. "I said no," she hissed. The officer pressed her lips into a thin line stood up. “Very well then,” she sighed out in resignation. “I'll ask you again after you spend a week in this shithole. I'm sure you'll have a change of mind.” Then she shrugged and gave Karen a wicked smile. “That's if you survive it. Because this place is no place for a pretty girl like you.”“Go to hell if you think you can scare me!” Karen snapped, trying to seem confident even though her voice trembled slightly.”The woman smi
Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 160: Cooperate with us
**Third person**Wait… Valerie just stood still for a few minutes, her mind blank, her head spinning.A gentle tap from Elliot had her snapping out of her daze. She looked up at her robot. “It's fine, he's a friend. Give us a moment, please,” she murmured absentmindedly. Elliot glanced at Victor briefly, a warning flashing in his eyes before he stepped back.As Valerie's eyes locked onto Victor's, she felt goosebumps erupt all over her skin. The initials "VA" flashed into her mind. He was the anonymous person who had been helping her all along. How??"How are you...?" Valerie's voice trailed off as the memories came flooding back. The first time he'd texted her, she was literally about to enter Adam's office with a knife. He had been standing just outside the door. So she didn't think too much about him. He was Karen's bodyguard. He had always been in plain sight, but she never recognized him. Even on the yacht... he was always there. He knows about all Karen's plans; that's how he

**Third person**“I thought the reality sank in after you cried for help?” Lucas mocked, his eyes shooting daggers at Adam. “If I think about what you tried to do to my woman, I still have this urge to kill you regardless.”Adam's jaw clenched again at the mention of ‘my woman’. But he didn't say a word about it, he wouldn't dare.Lucas placed the paper and pen that he was holding on the table. “Sign them now while I'm being nice,” he ordered, his voice a low growl that had Adam forcing a lump down his throat. Then he removed his feet from Adam's hand.Adam cried out in relief.Using his other hand as support, Adam tried to massage the hurt one into shape, but it was numb anyway. He looked up at Lucas, “My fingers… I—I can't sign.”Lucas shot Adam a glare without saying a word. He didn't need to.Adam swallowed, and quickly, he picked up the pen with trembling hands and scribbled his signature on the paper. His jaw tightened when he finished signing. So he is actually divorced from A
