MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 126
YSABELLEMy heart beats faster as I swallow the lump in my throat, confused about what I'm supposed to do.Should I just ignore it and I should not mind someone else's business? Or let my curiosity kill the cat?I chose the latter.With a light step, I slowly approached the bookshelf. The silence around me added to the suspense I was feeling inside.But I halted on my feet and wondered why the sound stopped.Could it be it was only my imagination? No… I'm sure there is something behind that furniture.Every second I took a step, my pulse thrummed in my throat faster and wilder than earlier. God knows what my father was doing inside this room, and he ended up not letting anyone enter his office.He's hiding something. I inhale deeply as I tightly clasp my finger on one of the books and slowly take it out off the shelves. I didn't look carefully at what was behind the bookshelf when I was arranging the books earlier. I didn't pay attention until it caught my attention just now.My br

YSABELLEI immediately rushed inside the house as soon as I heard Ashley's loud cry. Her wailing was getting louder and closer and led me to the pool behind the house.Ela and Ana were trying to calm Ashley while Ashton just watched them as if he didn't care about the commotion. “What happened?!”“Her jam escaped from the jar,” Ashton responded blandly.I tightly shut my eyes in frustration. The way Ahsley cried creeps me out of my nerves. I thought something bad happened to the child.“Don't cry, baby. There's still more in the fridge.” Ela ran inside the house to get another jar of strawberry jam. As Ashley slowly calmed down, my attention diverted to my phone, almost forgetting Ronan in another line.“Ronan?” I called him, but it was silent on another line. When I looked at the screen, I saw the call had already ended. I dialed him again as I paced back and forth while looking at Ashley eating her favorite strawberry jam. She's really into sweet things. It might be bad for her
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 128
YSABELLEAs I was eating my breakfast together with the twins and the nannies, I couldn't wait to go back to my father's office to open that goddamn hidden door.I couldn't get a chance to open it yesterday because Ashley kept calling me. But there's part of me not to open the door. Am I scared of what's behind the wall?Maybe… And nervous.My fingers tightened around the spoon handle.God knows what I will find in that room.“Ysabelle~” I tightly shut my eyes when I heard Cleo’s voice. “Oh! There you are~ Hi kids!” She entered the dining hall. The kids excitedly greeted their aunt because she bought snacks again. I bet they are chocolates and candies again.“Breakfast?” I politely.“Nah, diet.” She handed me a file of documents that made me almost choke at how chunky it was. “You need to read and check this, CEO.”With a sigh, I take the documents and place them on the empty chair beside me.“Shut up. I'm not taking over my father's position. He's still alive, Cleo.” “What if he w
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 129
YSABELLERonan walked back and forth in front of me. Bewildered at the appearance of the woman inside the room.It's indeed Lucia. Her clothes were still the same as the last time I saw her, but she was pale and skinny right now than before. She remained sitting in the corner of the room, hiding herself from us as if we were a predator.It's a different reaction she showed me before.Ronan seems surprised at Lucia because he knows that Lucia is dead. Why didn't he believe me?“What the hell is she doing here? How come she’s alive?” He hissed.I run my hands over my face and don't know what to do in this situation. “My father probably locked her inside–” I stop and gaze at Lucia. “How did he get Lucia? Connor was with her at the time Jacob and I were abducted. Right there inside the hidden room.”Ronan only scratches her head as he also doesn't know the answer to my query.My father… What is he thinking of locking up Lucia? He really needs to wake up and give us an answer that only
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 130
YSABELLE I was confused by Lucia's condition. She even remembers her son despite her situation. Can't she see that she was obviously abandoned by her own son?“Connor…” I avoided her stern gaze as I mumbled that jerk’s name. “I don't know where he is.”“I want my son!”I irritatedly scratch my head. “It seems like Connor abandoned you in that house–”“I WANT MY SON!”“HE'S NOT HERE!” I lost my temper as I snarled at her. However, seeing her eyes quiver at my sudden outburst, I bit my bottom lip. Why am I trying to fight with a person who has mental disabilities?I sigh deeply as I try to calm myself and calmly talk to her.“Your son is not here… I'm sorry.”I firmly shut my eyes in annoyance. Why am I even sorry? Why did I say sorry? I pushed my hair back from my forehead and stood up. She's still hesitant to get out of the blanket. She even scorched over into the headboard.“Why are you so scared of me?” I asked, but I shook my head because I knew she wouldn't answer me. “Do you

YSABELLE‘He's awake’As soon as my aunt called that my father woke up, I immediately went to the hospital with Ronan.“Don't get work up. He's still not in good condition, so ask him calmly.”I remained silent.Ronan keeps reminding me not to interrogate my father because he still hasn't recovered. He's just back to being conscious, but according to my aunt, he's still having a hard time breathing.As we entered my father's room, Aunt greeted me, but she was taken aback at Ronan’s presence. She didn't expect to see him in this situation. “You're here too, Mr. Volkov.” Her voice was firm as she stared at Ronan.“Glad to meet you, Mrs. Cortez.”Ronan greeted her politely despite the attitude that my aunt was giving.They really don't get along well. I'm hoping that my family's rage towards Ronan’s family will lessen.“How is he?” I diverted my aunt's attention.She sighs deeply and gazes at my father on the bed, still wearing those apparatuses.“He can't talk.”I immediately look at h

YSABELLEI stared at my handbag where the other phone of my aunt was hiding. My aunt didn't return to get her phone. I sighed deeply as I looked desperate to suspect my aunt over something not so crucial.What's wrong with having two phones? That's normal these days. Separating personal and business life.“You're quiet,” Ronan said beside me while he was peeling the apple.“I'm… I'm going to handle the company here.” He stopped. “So tell me… what was Aunt hiding from me?” I took the apple and knife from him.He doesn't have a choice but to coke clean as he scratches the back of his neck.“The company lost almost forty percent of shareholders.”“What? H-How? I thought you were helping the company?”“They don't trust your father anymore.” He glanced at my father on the bed. “Especially, he's here now.”“I will handle–”“They don't want to give you their full trust. You're still an amateur in this field.”My jaw clenched as my hand curled into a fist. They're really something and I hope

YSABELLEI stared at the twins inside their new study room while leaning at the door. One of the guest rooms was renovated into their study room.Their private tutor, Ms. Ami, was the best educator we found for our children. She has an excellent background and I know she is trustworthy since it's Ronan who hired her.The kids were surprisingly behaved, especially Ashley.As much as I wanted them to have a normal school life, I couldn't risk anything. Our situation was beyond normal. “Why homeschooling?”I was startled at Cleo’s sudden appearance behind me.“Cleo, you know how dangerous the outside world is.” I hissed quietly not to disturb the people inside the study room.Seeing the kids learning quietly was making my heart flutter but saddened at the same time.It was supposed to be my job to teach them first. I was supposed to be their first teacher. But here I am, struggling to cope and spend time with my children. Both Ronan and I have been so busy with the company and issues i

YSABELLEI woke up when a hand accidentally hit my face. I groaned in pain and got up only to see Amara sleeping soundly beside me. A chuckle escaped from me while caressing my cheek.It's not that painful, though.I covered Amara with a blanket and got off the bed. I glanced at the clock marked four am. It was early, but I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to waste some of the hours jogging around the mansion to replenish my mind.I was about to enter my room but the door of Jacob’s room suddenly opened. Jacob came out of the room, dragging his luggage behind him. I approached him with a confused look in my eyes. “Jacob, where are you going?”“I have an early flight to Australia.”My brows furrowed. “Why? I mean, Ronan would–”“Classes are starting next week. I already bid my goodbye to Dad, Ashley, and Amara last night.”He looked down, avoiding my eyes as if he were guilty of something.“That's… earlier than I thought.”I scratched the back of my neck as silence between us
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 212
YSABELLEI open the door of the police car because I don't plan to ride Ronan's car. But Ronan closed the door and turned me around to face him."Belle, it's not what you think. Nothing happened between us–” I pushed him in irritation, but he only grabbed my hand and pinned me to the car. "Please believe me." He pleaded.I refused to meet his eyes as I struggled to pull my hand away from his grip and push him out of my way. But he's a man, and I'm only a woman who couldn't even move this guy away from me."Get out of my face." I snarled.His Adam's apple moves before firmly saying, "No."I'm tired. I don't want to argue with him. Also, there are people around us.I avoided his eyes but only to see Jacob's inside the police mobile, silently waiting."Talk to him."Through my peripheral vision, I saw him looking in the direction I was staring. He slowly let go of my wrist while sighing deeply. With furrowed brows, I glared at him and saw him only solemnly staring at Jacob."Don't just s

YSABELLE"Jacob? Are you alright-"Before I could even continue my words, Candice suddenly pushed me, causing me to fall on the floor. She immediately sat on my stomach, wrapping her fingers tightly around my neck."Don't let your guard down, bitch,"I tightly shut my eyes as I struggled under her, trying to push her and take her hands off of me. Damn it! I'm losing my breath and it feels like my veins are about to explode any moment now.With gritted teeth, I also did the same to her neck, burying my nails in her skin and I'm doing my best to escape from this nightmare–"Enough!"Suddenly, the weight in my stomach disappeared, as well as the violent hands of Candice from my neck. I coughed so hard, trying to catch my breath while caressing my neck from the pain she had caused.Shit! I almost became a memory! Sweat trickled down my temple as I hazily looked in front of me, trying to focus my sight on the person who took Candice off of me.But my eyes widened to see an unexpected man
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 210
YSABELLEI anxiously swallowed the lump stuck in my throat as I stared at Candice intently, waiting for her response. She inhaled sharply as her eyes didn't leave mine. Suspicion lingered in her eyes and I can't help but curl my toes in nervousness.If she's dumb enough to believe my words–"Okay."My left brow rose abruptly.Uhmm... I didn't expect that, but that's what I want to happen.With a sigh, she reached for my chain around my ankle as she took out the keys from her pocket. The corner of my lips lifted when she finally inserted the key in a lock."If you had just done that before, we wouldn't have led to this kidnapped thingy." She mumbled under her breath. Once she released my ankle, her face lifted on mine. "So-"I strike her face with my knee, causing her to fall on the ground with loud screams in pain."FUCKI"I whimpered in pain as I caressed the knee I used because of the strong impact it created on her face. I bet I broke her nose."Yeah, fuck you bitch." I said under
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 209
YSABELLE"Congratulations! You have been fooled for the second time!"My chest twisted in pain as my eyes wavered while staring at the picture on Candice's phone. I hate seeing him on the bed with another woman. It felt like the past resurfaced again and again every time Ronan interacted with them.However, as I kept staring at the photo, Ronan was sleeping in an uncomfortable position, which made me frown. He never sleeps on his stomach because it makes him feel uncomfortable, and his neck the next morning would definitely give him pain.Something is not right.My eyes caught Candice behind the phone, grinning from ear to ear while staring at me as if waiting for something interesting to happen.Did she take the picture? For what? To brag about it to me? If she likes Ronan that much, why does she let that woman sleep with Ronan?I trust Ronan... after all those years we've been together... I know he won't waste it just like before. But I have the right to get mad and feel betrayed.A

RONANI kicked the door in rage as I stormed out of the club where I last saw that woman. I did everything I could to find her information and make sure I could get hold of her. But the owner of the club didn't know the woman. She's not a regular here.I had already sent the little information I'd got to Kevin to do the rest of locating this woman. I should not have left that morning. I only want confirmation if something happened between us or not.As far as I remember, I didn't get drunk that much to the point that I collapsed and blacked out. Did she put anything in my drinks? No, she didn't offer me anything.Damn! My head is aching up now.I slammed the door of my Ferrari, and the first thing I saw when I entered the car was Belle's picture on my dashboard, together with my children.She was so gorgeous with those smiles.My chest twisted in pain as the face of the woman came across my mind."Jesus, what have I done?" I tightly shut my eyes in fury as my fingers tightened around
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 207
YSABELLEA door was wide open behind me. With a small light coming from outside the door, a silhouette of a woman at the doorway sent shivers down my spine. Though, I can't clearly see her face due to the darkness inside the room.Who is she?-- Wait... Where's Jacob?“Who's there?” I asked as I was about to try to stand on the ground, getting my balance, but a chuckle echoed inside the room, which made me freeze.That familiar laugh…My pulse anxiously thrummed as I squinted my eyes to focus on the face of this lady wearing a dress with short, wavy hair.A sly grin formed on her lips, which made my legs tremble in fear."Ca-Candice?"It couldn't be right… I abruptly closed my eyes when the lights suddenly switched on."Yes, dear."My soul almost left my body upon hearing her voice. Is it really her? I slowly raised my gaze and met her grinning face. "When have you been out?" She wore blonde artificial hair and put on heavy makeup. Maybe to make sure no one recognizes her."You don'

YSABELLEJacob doesn't have any choice but to follow me inside the building. I know he's scared to face Ronan, but I don't want him to bury a rage deep down in his heart about Ronan.We headed straight to the CEO's office but found his office empty. He's not around, and neither is his secretary.I called the receptionist through Ronan's telephone, and a woman answered immediately."Hi. This is Belle Volkov. Where's Ronan?""Good day, Ms. Volkov. As far as I know, Mr. Volkov is not around."My brows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean he's not around?""Mr. Volkov didn't come to work."My ears perked at her words as my jaw clenched.If the people here tell me he's absent from work, it means Ronan has no other outdoor meeting or anything related to the company.Where is he? He's not at home, and if he goes somewhere not related to work, he always tells me so I won't get worried. But why he didn't tell me anything today? Because he's angry?"Where's his secretary?""He's on sick lea
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 205
YSABELLE “Why didn't you talk to him?”“He refused to let me visit Mom, so there's no need to ask his permission to go back to Australia.”I can sense his irritation just by mentioning Ronan. I can't blame him. Ronan just does whatever he wants, not even realizing what Jacob might have felt.He's just a child wanting to see his parents and know how they are doing. But Ronan didn't understand his feelings, which added to Jacob's frustration.“He still needs to know. Wait here, I will call him.”I walked to the door, but he stopped me by holding my hand.“He's busy and still angry at me. Also…” He looked away and turned his back on me as he let go of my hand. “I don't want to see or talk to him.”“Jacob, he's only doing this for your own good. You already know the past of your mother and your biological father, right?”“I just want to talk to them. Is that a crime?”I was taken aback at his words.“N-No, it's not.”He stared at me with mixed emotions. His eyes filled with anger, pain,
