Mom walks over to the door, her eyes never leaving me.

"Our grandchildren… Evan and Barbe." Dad pulls Evan and Barbe in front of my mom, joy evident on his face.

It is only at this point that Mom looks away from me and glances down at the kids. She grins through her tears. The joy in her eyes is evident as she kneels and envelopes them in a warm embrace.

"You two are absolutely adorable," she murmurs, her voice thick with emotion.

"Mom…" My voice is a fragile thread, an apology that holds years of remorse within it.

She looks up, her eyes connecting with mine, a mixture of emotions swirling within them. "Vivian, you have children!" The surprise and hurt are evident in her tone. "You didn’t let us know about them all those years," she complains.

"I am sorry," I can only apologize, guilt overwhelming me. The tears in her eyes are a mirror of my own emotions.

"Aren't you going to invite them inside, Clara?" Dad chimes in. "They must be tired and hungry. Come inside, kiddos. We will sit,

    I'm stuck in a living nightmare. My children and I are being kidnapped by a group of masked men, and I'm powerless to stop it. We've been dragged out of the house and thrown into the backseat of a black car.My hands and legs are tied, and a rag has been stuffed into my mouth to silence me. I can't even comfort my children, who are cowering in fear beside me.As I look around, I can see that we're surrounded by darkness. The windows are tinted, blocking out any light from outside. The only illumination comes from a small overhead lamp, casting eerie shadows on the interior of the car. It feels like we're in a tomb, trapped and helpless.My heart breaks as I watch my children tremble with fear. Evan and Barbe cling to each other, their eyes wide with terror. I try to reassure them with a gentle nod, hoping they'll sense my love and support despite our dire situation. They lean into me, seeking refuge in my embrace, and I do my best to comfort them, my own fear and panic threatening to

    Vivian’s POV…"Vivian, wake up…"Someone calls me and shakes my shoulder. The voice sounds low and hoarse. I'm not sure who it is or what they want. I am a bit annoyed."Um…" I groan, wincing."Vivian, please wake up..." the voice begs, sounding more insistent this time.I just want to sleep. What is the problem with the people? Can’t they simply leave me alone?I swear I will beat whoever is disturbing me. My forehead creases as I try to open my eyes. But they feel heavy, like there are weights attached to my eyelashes, preventing me from lifting them.I try to respond, but my throat feels dry and scratchy. All I can manage is a weak "um.""Vivian…" This time, the voice sounds louder than before.I gradually realize that it's George who is trying to wake me up. My mind starts to piece together fragments of memory—masked men, fear, my children, George's rescue. Panic rises within me, and I jolt awake, my heart pounding in my chest.Before I can catch my breath, he pulls me into his ar

    "Wait…" George opens the door and gets out of the car.The man moves his gun toward him.I almost shrieked in horror. I press my hands on my mouth."Look… I can give you double the amount you are offered," George says, trying to negotiate with the man. "Just let her go. I promise I will never tell anyone about this."The man curls his lips into a devious smile and scoffs, "Is that so? Well, I am afraid I won’t be able to accept your offer, Mr. Stanley. I don’t back down once I take the money. She has to die." His gun turns toward me.My breathing stops as I see his finger on the trigger. He is going to shoot me.Bang…The gunshot rings out, filling the air with a cacophony of sound, and I can't help but squeeze my eyes shut, bracing for the searing pain of impact.But the pain doesn't come. Instead, the sound of a struggle reaches my ears, and I dare to open my eyes a fraction.What I see defies my understanding: George is grappling with the man, his strength and determination on full

    George’s POV…We are stranded in a deserted area in the middle of the night. No one is going to come here. I'm wounded, bleeding, and the pain pulses through me with every heartbeat. But more agonizing is the knowledge that Vivian is in danger because of me.I can't allow her to stay here with me, exposed and vulnerable. I don’t want to be a burden to Vivian.Those men can come back to hurt her. She shouldn’t stay with me here, unprotected. She should find a way to escape here.Summoning what little strength I have left, I push her away, my voice laced with desperation. "Get away from here," I growl, the words heavy with the weight of my own guilt and fear. "I don't need your support. Just go away."But her response is fierce and unwavering. "No," she retorts with equal intensity, her determination unshakable. "I am not going to leave you.""Why?" I demand. "I don’t deserve your kindness. I deceived you, used you, and hurt you many times. Despite knowing about Megan’s cruelty, I didn’

  • Leave Me Alone, Ex-husband   Chapter 96 It's time to fulfill your promise.

    Michael's words hit me like a cold slap, and I'm left speechless for a moment. The shock and disbelief wash over me, mingling with the urgency of the situation.The man I knew, the one who helped me in the past, seems like a stranger now. His demeanor is callous. He doesn’t even show a sign of mercy after seeing George in this condition."What do you want?" I ask, curious.He chuckles and circles me before standing in front of me. "If you are willing to sleep with me tonight, I will consider saving George." He drags his finger down my arm.My mind spins. This isn't the Michael I remember. The man who was kind, who saved me before, wouldn't stoop to exploiting such a dire situation. But here he stands, unrecognizable in his indifference."You are free to say no," he says with a blank face. "I won’t touch you. I will just leave. But remember, George won’t survive."His malicious grin chills me to the core. I know the gravity of the situation. We are far away from the city, in a dissolut

    I watch Michael's retreating figure. The room feels suffocating, and the air is thick with tension and fear. The promise I made hangs heavily over me, like a dark cloud that refuses to dissipate. I can't believe the turn of events—how the man I once considered a friend has become someone unrecognizable.I take a deep, shaky breath, trying to steady my nerves. I know I have no choice but to fulfill his request, to save George's life. It's a harsh reality that I can't escape from. Trembling fingers fumble with the edge of the blanket as I try to steady myself.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I slowly get to my feet. Every step feels like a heavy burden, and every inch of the distance separating me from George feels like another layer of despair. My footsteps echo through the room, a hollow sound that mirrors the hollowness I feel inside.The bathroom door creaks as I push it open, revealing a space that suddenly feels foreign and unwelcome. The bathroom tiles are cold underfoot. The s

    The next morning…I don’t know when I fall asleep in Michael’s bed. When the door knocks, I wake up in a daze. I quickly get out of bed and open the door. The maid is standing there and informs me that George is awake.I am relieved to hear that. Thanking her, I walk into the guest room."Vivian…" George smiles as I walk into the room. He tries to sit up but winces in pain.My heart skips a beat as I rush over to help him, and concern etches on my face."Thank God, you are all right," he murmurs, pulling me into his arms.I say nothing; my mind is blank.He cups my face and asks, "Did Michael hurt you? Did he do anything to you?"I open my mouth to respond, but before that, I hear a chuckle. I turn my attention to the source of the voice and notice Michael standing at the threshold, leaning against the door with his arms crossed across his chest.His casual and arrogant stance contradicts the gravity of the situation. He seems detached as if the events that transpired hold no weight f

    In the meantime, Evan and Barbe enter. Their faces light up with a grin when they see me awake."Mommy!" The voices that reach my ears are filled with excitement and pure delight. They rush over to me.With open arms, I welcome them eagerly. The warmth of their tiny bodies envelops me, and tears of joy stream down my cheeks. Their presence is a balm to my soul, soothing away the lingering echoes of fear and pain. I hold them close, cherishing every moment of their embrace."My babies," I murmur, my voice quivering with emotion. "Mommy is here.

Finally, the crisis in the company has been resolved, but Vivian is still unconscious.Thirty-six long hours have elapsed, and her continued unconsciousness gnaws at my very core.

Tears stain their young faces as they grapple with the fear that their mother may never awaken.

  • Leave Me Alone, Ex-husband   Chapter 118 The horror of the past.

    All the scenes are playing as a recording in front of my eyes. I feel like I am reliving the terror of the past.The goons take us to an abandoned house on the hilltop. They throw us on the cold floor and close the door. The room we're trapped in feels like a desolate prison, cold and damp. The muffled sounds of the outside world barely penetrate the thick walls.George is still unconscious. His forehead is bleeding. I'm driven by a fierce determination to protect him. I tear my dress with my teeth and use the fabric as an impromptu bandage to staunch the bleeding. His vulnerability, lying there unconscious, tugs at my heartstrings.I glance around the room, my eyes landing on the meager comforts of a mattress and a blanket. Gently, I drag George over to the mattress, huddling close to him and pulling the blanket around us, seeking whatever warmth and reassurance it can provide.As the night wears on, George's condition worsens. His fever rises, and he trembles in his fitful sleep.In

    Her eyes blazed with a mad intensity, her pupils dilating as she spoke. "I loved him since I was a child," she said, her voice low and even. "I always wanted to be around him, play with him, and marry him. But he liked to play with you. I hated you for grabbing his attention."Megan's confession is both unsettling and tragic. Her childhood infatuation with George has festered into a twisted obsession, and her jealousy of my connection with him has fueled her hatred. Her admission paints a grim picture of her psyche, revealing the depths of her delusion.I feel a cold dread creeping up my spine as she continues to speak. Her words are laced with venom, her anger and resentment palpable.Why is she saying such things? Has she mistaken me for someone else?I have no recollection of playing with George. George and I had never met before high school. I narrow my eyes, trying to process her words.I struggle again, trying to break free from her grasp. But Megan is too strong, her hold too s

    As my consciousness gradually returns, the world around me materializes in fragments. The grimy, dilapidated surroundings of the room come into focus, casting an eerie atmosphere that matches the unsettling situation I'm in. Cobwebs cling to corners; shadows dance on the walls of my vision.My head feels heavy, and my ears still ring from the blow I received. I blink, trying to clear my vision, and my heart skips a beat when I realize I'm bound to a chair.The voices, hushed but audible, pierce through the haze in my mind. My senses sharpen, and I strain to listen, piecing together the conversation unfolding before me."I told you to stay away from here. Why did you come here?"I squint as I find this voice familiar. It’s Michael’s voice. Who is he talking with?"Ugh…" I groan and try to free my hands from the ropes that are restraining me.A second voice joins the conversation, and my heart sinks as I recognize it.Megan.The pieces fall into place, and I'm struck by the cruel revela

    A few days later…Megan visits me when Vivian is away. I can't help but feel a wave of annoyance wash over me.She is so shameless. She has the nerve to show up in front of me again."George, oh, my God. Look at you, how badly you have been injured." She comes closer to me with tears in her eyes.I used to feel sad whenever I saw her cry. But now I can see through her malicious nature hidden beneath this pitiful exterior. Megan is pretentious. Her tears and sweet words can’t change my perception of her anymore. I now know how cunning she is.She tries to reach out and touch my face, but I swat her hand away instinctively. I don't want her touching me; doesn't she understand that? I glare at her, my eyes flashing with warning."I have completely lost my patience with you, Megan," I growl, my voice low and menacing. "Stop trying to get closer to me. Get lost."She gives me a hurt look as if she is the one who has been wronged. "How could you say such a thing to me?" she asks, her voice
