Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 138: Slip up
**Third person**"I just wanted to see how you're doing, Adam. I know things have been...tough for you lately." She leaned forward, studying his eye bags and the way his face suddenly looked older.Adam snorted, running a palm across his face. "Tough? You think that's the right word? I'm facing life in prison," he groaned, frustration lines etched on his forehead.“But the punishment hasn't been given out yet,” she pointed out, trying her best to sound optimistic. Adam frowned. He knew that Valerie was trying to give him false hope. “Really?” He rolled his eyes frustratedly. “You already know what the punishment for first-degree murder is.” Valerie's expression turned somber, her eyes filled with a pretend concern. "I know, Adam,” she murmured sadly. “I'm so sorry about all this. And I want you to know that I'm here for you. Whatever you need." He just shrugged in response. Then she stared at him for a while and sighed, as though she had something else on her mind. “You have someth

**Third person**“Ask for anything, Mr. Smith; I'll gladly help,” she urged him.“If I'm going to spend my life here, I want to live it to the fullest.” He began, his pleading eyes staring at her. “Can you do that for me?”Her brows furrowed in confusion. “I don't quite follow.”“Valerie, you're Lucas's girlfriend. He has the resources and influence to make my stay here quite enjoyable.” He paused, his jaw tightening. “I know the Harrisons would try to have me killed after I rat them out; I'll need security to ensure my safety too.”Val pressed her lips together, suppressing her urge to laugh. “I’d love to help and I'll want that for you too,” she confessed. “But you know my boyfriend is a businessman; if he helps you, what's in it for him?”Adam stared at her, slightly taken aback. Surely he didn't think that Lucas would grant him that type of favor for free.He remained silent for quite some time, lost in thoughts and Valerie feared that she might have pushed her luck too far. The m

**Third person**As Valerie sat behind her desk, she tried to focus on her work, but thoughts of how the day would play out filled her mind. She checked her time yet again. It was just 8.05. Maybe time was passing slowly today because it knew that she'd come to work really early.As the clock ticked away, Valerie felt her anxiety build. She was ready for this, she told herself. She was ready to see Adam confess and to finally get the closure she needed. At 8.20, Lucas was outside her office, ready to give her a ride to the prison like he'd offered.Once she stepped out of Harrisons' enterprises, the morning sunlight cast a golden glow on her face. But her expression was far from radiant. The sinking feeling that had been gnawing at her gut since she woke up, making her stomach twist into knots, was still there.Valerie settled into the passenger seat of Lucas's car, buckling her seatbelt as he started the engine. Lucas had a worried look on his face as he glanced at her. “Still t

**Third person**All the blood drained from Valerie's face instantly, her heart pounding in her chest. She could bet that Karen heard it too… That Karen could hear the way her heart was beating with fear.“Right from the first day I met you, I found you oddly annoying.” Karen chuckled dryly. She stood up and walked over to the window. She gazed out, her eyes glinting with triumph and then she shot Valerie a quick glance. “So this was the reason why.”Valerie's mouth opened, but no words came out. She was frozen in shock, her mind reeling. Karen turned back to her, her smile growing wider. "Did I render you speechless, sister?”Karen sounded too confident for Valerie to try and debunk her claims. But Valerie decided to try regardless.“What are you talking about?” she finally managed, trying to feign ignorance. “Sister? Maybe you're mistaking me for someone else.” Karen turned to stare at Val, a knowing glint in her eyes. Their gazes locked and it was like Karen could see right throu

**Third person**She was really doing this. Valerie took a deep breath and took one last glance at the compact mirror before stepping out of the car. At the moment, she was seated in front of the crowded press conference, a microphone in front of her. She'd imagined different ways that she'd eventually reveal her identity, but this was not one of them.After getting opinions from both Lucas and Matthew, she'd decided to tell the world who she is. The people she'd been trying hard to hide from, already knew her secret and so there was no point."My name is Ashley Smith, and I'm the woman who was presumed dead over a year ago,” she began.Gasps and murmurs filled the room. All the different reporters are trying to ask questions at once.“Just raise your hands? We'll take one question at a time,” her hired manager instructed. Even he couldn't hide the shock on his face.She pointed at a man with red hair, who had his hands up. “You.”He stood up. “Do you mean that Ashley Smith, the form

**Third person**Valerie sat in her study, listening to the recordings from Adam and Karen's bedroom. They'd not said anything tangible for a while, but instead they always kept arguing about irrelevant things. “Ashley called for a board of directors meeting,” she heard Karen say. “We should use it to our advantage.”Valerie's interest piqued and she adjusted on her chair. Finally…“How so?” Adam asked.“The meeting is by 2pm. We'll alter her own invitation and tell her that it's 6pm.”“Wow, that's a brilliant idea,” Adam chuckled mischievously, his tone dripping with excitement. “The meeting would have been long over by the time she arrived.”Just then, Valerie's phone beeped with an email. It was an invitation for the boarding meeting.Subject: Notification of Board Meeting—New CEO Appointment.Her eyes immediately skipped the rest of the content and scrolled down to the bottom where the date, time, and venue were written.Date: Saturday, March 3, 2025.Time: 6:00 PMVenue: Confer

**Third person**Valerie's eyes widened as her mind struggled to process the connection. Mr. Miller... Gary Miller... The room seemed to spin around her as she felt the ground slipping beneath her feet.Matthew was Gary Miller? All this while?? He was her brother?!He was the one buying the shares?And he was the one who ratted her out to Karen?? Her mind suddenly went to Gabriel. Oh no, poor Gabriel. Now she knows that it was Matt who ratted her out. But why? What did she do to him?Valerie's eyes remained fixed on Matthew, her mind reeling with shock and betrayal. She couldn't believe the man she had trusted, the man she had considered a friend, was actually her nemesis.Matthew, seemingly aware of Valerie's distress, took charge of the room with that smirk intact. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice confident and authoritative. "As the majority shareholder, I believe it's time for us to take this company to the next step."Valerie watched the way his lips moved, the way h

**Third person**“What wifely duties?” Valerie snapped. Her eyes dared him silently to repeat the rubbish he just spat.“I'm your husband, remember?” He raised a questioning brow at her. “And we're still legally married.”“Oh, that's what this is about?” She scoffed, disgust written boldly on her face. “My lawyer is already preparing the divorce papers.”“That's not what I mean.” Adam frowned. “And we're not getting divorced.”Valerie ignored him and began walking away, not wanting to spend another second in his presence.Adam stroked his dick through his clothes, his lustful eyes roaming over her body once more. “Do you think it's fair to keep what belongs to me away from me?”Valerie stood in front of the elevator. She groaned when she saw that there was already someone in it coming up. She didn't wait any longer and keep being around Adam, so she decided to take the stairs.Adam followed behind her. "God, I've been desiring you for so long,” he groaned as he stared at her curvy but

**Third person** Valerie dragged her heavy eyes open. She blinked a couple of times to clear her vision. The smell of drugs and antiseptic and hospital filled her nose. Beside her, Lucas sat with his eyes closed. Almost immediately she jumped up on the bed. “Let me go,” she shouted, startling Lucas. He climbed the bed and pulled her into his arms. “It's okay, you're safe now,” he whispered softly, planting kiss after kiss on her hair and forehead. Valerie relaxed into his embrace, her racing heart finally calm. A tear slipped from his eyes and he wiped it. He'd thought he'd lost her. “I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe. I should have anticipated it, I should—” “It's not your fault,” she cut him off gently. “It's not.” Tears trailed down her own cheeks and she sniffed. “What happened to Matthew?” A muscle ticked in Lucas's jaw, he felt Matt had an easy fate after everything he did. "Dead." Valerie let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, her body shaking with relieve

**Third person**“Let's move, slowly,” Matt murmured in Valerie's ears, his hot breath fanning against her skin. His eyes were still locked onto Lucas—who was practically shooting daggers at Matt with his eyes."Matthew, please," Valerie whispered back, her voice trembling. "You don't have to do this. You can still let me go."Matt's jaw tightened, his chest heaving with desperation and anger. "Do you really think I'm stupid?" he hissed. "You want me to let you go? I should just allow you to run into his arms?" He questioned in a mocking tone.“Drop your weapon and surrender,” the police announced again but neither Valerie nor Matt paid any attention. “Best believe that if I do that, then I'll shoot you from behind before you get to him,” Matt added. The chilling sensation in his voice sent a shiver down Valerie's spine.“Man to man,” Lucas began, his voice almost a growl. “What would it take for you to let her go? Anything at all… name it. Even if you don't want to spend a single da
Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 168: Freeze!
**Third person**It took Matthew half the time it would normally take to get to the bunker. He parked his car at a safe distance before running over to the location. And with each step he took, his mind raced, his heart pounded with anxiety. He couldn't afford to lose her now that he was so close. They'd literally be leaving the country today. Valerie please be there, please be there, Matt murmured, his legs moving faster.A half-relieved sigh left his lips when he reached the entrance and saw that the door was still locked—She was still here. His trembling fingers sifted through his bunch of keys, his breath gaspy and he wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his palm.Matt unlocked the door and then pushed it open forcefully. His eyes blazing with anger and anxiety found Valerie immediately. She was curled up at a corner, her cheeks stained with tears and her hands and feet shaking."What have you done??!" he growled, his voice venomous.She frowned in confusion, even th
Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 167: Raven's peak.
**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

**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 tri

**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
Ex-husband wants my New Body Chapter 162: Good deal?
**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
