MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 162
RONAN “I'm asking where you were?” I repeated as Cleo stood still in front of me, not showing any emotions on her face.“Don't give my daughter that tone, Volkov.” Belle’s aunt came out of nowhere as if she'd just been here all along.She glared at me intently as if she wanted to cut my tongue for raising my voice on her daughter.My jaw clenched at the two. She wants to protect her daughter from my yell but doesn't care about Belle and the kids, who are more in danger than her daughter.I guess she's only after the company and nothing else.I looked away to ease my tension.“Belle is missing and I'm speculating Paul took her,” I said as I looked around. “First the shootout with two gunmen and now the abduction. Was this place really not secure, Cortez? Or maybe someone is letting the enemies behind our back.”I looked at them as Mrs. Cortez's face turned red, and raging eyes shot into mine.“Are you accusing us?” She growled as she took a step towards me.“Why? Did I hit the right s

YSABELLE I was back to my consciousness when I felt the cold concrete floor under me and winced at the pain in my back.I groaned as I tried to reach my wound and felt a sticky liquid dripping down my back.It's obviously bleeding.I open my eyes and notice the darkness inside the room. “Hello?”I slowly sat up as fear delved into me while looking around and just remembered that the male nurse had taken me.“Damn it.”With heavy breathing, I endured the pain in my back and attempted to stand up. I use the wall to help me lean my uninjured arm to get my balance.Now what?How can I leave this place?There's only one door and two windows. I'm sure that's securely locked. But there is no furniture to use for breaking the window glass. I don't even have the strength to do so.I sat down back on the floor. I need to rest and prepare for the worst later.Seriously? I was abducted from my own property? What were the security guards doing and letting that bastard enter the premises without

YSABELLE My eyes widened to see Cleo, and I could not believe her sudden appearance. I looked at Paul and Cleo again, trying to understand the situation I was in.“Cleo? What… What are you doing?”Is she… the person…who helped Paul?She gestured to Paul to exit the room. As soon as he left, she sat on an empty stool and crossed her legs, unbothered.“It's payback time.”I confusedly glared at her. “What do you mean? Let me go, please!” I exclaimed in rage as I tried to get my wrists out from these handcuffs behind me.My arms are getting numb, and I think I'm losing energy because of the blood dripping out from my back.“I'm afraid I can't.” Cleo’s tone changed, which made me take aback. “It took me a year to plan this out, and you want me to stop this? Don't make me laugh.”A year?Did she plan this out for a year?For what purpose? I don't remember doing something horrible to her except making her babysit my kids while Ronan and I were busy with the issues in our lives.“I don'

YSABELLE Paul strides inside the room and puts unconscious Jessica on the cold floor. Rage ran in my veins to see her not responding even if she was placed in an uncomfortable place.“Cleo!” I yelled at her, who only scrunched her nose in irritation. “I'm not deaf, bitch.”“What have you done to her?!”“Ask her yourself. I'm tired of explaining.” She turned her back on me.“She’s your fucking twin sister–!”She halted in her trance and quiet for seconds before letting out a sigh.“I have to go. I still need to help Ronan to find you.” Was the only thing she said before completely closing the door.I scoffed at how terrible sister Cleo was. Jessica is her twin sister! She's a family! So, why did she include her own family in her psychotic plan?I slowly approached Jessica and lay down next to her. I'm glad she's still breathing normally, but I noticed how skinnier she was than before. “What did they do to you?”***I instantly woke up when someone was torturing my wound on my back

RONAN“Why can't we go out? I need to go to Paris!”Belle’s aunt hysterically yelled in my face.“It's part of the investigation.” I simply said and turned my back on her.“Why would I be part of the investigation?”I stopped at her tone.She's so eager to get out of here just to go to Paris and take care of the company. She's not making sense in the part that she will continue her duty rather than look for the rest of the members of the family.Jessica and Belle.Especially Jessica, who's her daughter by blood.I turned to her with a frown all over my face. “Are you really not worried about your niece?”Her jaw clenched as she looked away. She crossed her arms on her chest as she anxiously walked back and forth inside the living room.“Follow their protocol, or I will mark you as the prime suspect in her disappearance.” “Screw you, Volkov.” She gritted her teeth as she curled her hands into fists.My jaw clenched in irritation. “Why do you hate me so much?” She scoffed. “You're a

YSABELLE My jaw clenched as her brow rose as if she said those lines like nothing.“Kill who?” Her eyes moved behind me. I scoffed in disbelief. “Seriously, Cleo? You're going to kill your sister?”She shrugged nonchalantly, which made my blood boil. My hand curled around the pen as I endured the pain in my back.I signed the papers without much thought, but I made sure she still wouldn't get anything she wanted. It's not like I'm scared of her and threatening us to kill Jessica, but I just want to go back to my family. I'm afraid that Paul might pull the trigger without giving too much thought. He's become more cold and cruel than before.The company and all the assets of the Cortez that were named to me now belong to hers… or that is what she thought.After signing all the documents, I threw the pen to her. “Happy? Now let us go.” She kicked the pen at the corner with a smug face.“I didn't say I would let you go.”“Cleo!” I exclaimed in rage.I wanted to strangle her, but Paul's
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 168
YSABELLE Tears formed in my eyes as I intently stared at my Dad, Andrew Garcia, in front of me.“Let's get out of here.”Before I could even ask about his sudden appearance, he held my wrists and pulled me out of the hallway with Jessica tagging behind me.We entered the room where he came from but he stopped and peeked back to the door.Jessica and I were surprised by the gunfire, causing us to hide in the corner of the room. I was more worried about my Dad, thinking he might get hurt. But I saw him loading his gun while looking at us.“Cover your ears.” He firmly said.Jessica and I immediately covered our ears and a loud and spontaneous gunfire echoed in the hallway.My heart was pounding nervously with the thought I was in between the war.But after a few minutes, it stopped, and I just realized Jessica’s sobbing behind me. She felt traumatized by the shootout. I held her hand tightly to ease her fear.Dad suddenly pushed us to the wide open wind– The window is open!Before I co
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 169
YSABELLE My blood boiled in rage and disbelief as soon as I heard what Dad said.“So, you knew?”He sighed heavily as he poured alcohol into his glass and chugged it down in one gulp.“Answer me.” I hissed as I didn't want to raise my voice at him. I still respect him as the man who raised me as his own.“I don't want to get entangled with anyone related to the Cortez–”“I was your daughter before I became a Cortez.” I helplessly mumbled in frustration. “You are born to be a Cortez.”His calm and soft tone made me look away. He sounds and looks apologetic. That's why I couldn't even hate him wholeheartedly. But I'm furious at him. For lying to me. For leaving me behind. For abandoning me.“Damn it, Dad.”I turned my back on him as I didn't want to see him like this. It's painful to see him regretting what had happened. I don't know why he showed up after all those years he hid from the public. But one thing is for sure: he might have come just to save me.How did he even know I w
