MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 182
RONAN Her red eyes quivered in fear and rage– red eyes? She cried… she cried with her heart out and God knows why.“Leave us, Ronan.” Her voice is as cold as a sharp ice.I didn't have any choice but to leave them alone inside the study room, but as I passed Belle, I saw her clothes were splattered with blood on them, and her hands had bruises. Fear and worries invaded my chest as soon as she closed the door.I looked for Kevin and the others who were with her last night. But as soon as I saw Kevin and the others, full of wounds and their clothes had red stains, which I believe were blood. It was as if they were in a battle overnight.“What the fuck happened? Where were you?!” My voice echoed in the whole living room, enough that all the people inside looked at me with confusion, especially why my men looked like this.Kevin stood up and pushed my wheelchair to the elevator to reach the second floor. We entered the room where there were no other people around. As soon as he secu

YSABELLE *LAST NIGHT*As I was about to enter the car, Kevin stopped me by softly pulling me away from the car.“It's best for you not to come with us, Ms. Cortez.”I shoved his hand frustratedly. “I need to talk to Cleo.”But he blocked my way with a deep sigh.“We can bring her here–”“You're with me. You can protect me just like what Ronan ordered you to do.” “Madame, it's dangerous.”I showed him the cold single action army, which was owned by Ronan.“Don't worry. You taught me how to use Ronan’s gun. I'm all in. So, stop hesitating, and let's go.”I walked past him and entered the car. Kevin was contemplating whether to listen to me or obey Ronan’s command to not make me get near the danger zone.I'm not ready to die. I will come back here and be with the kids and Ronan. So, I will do my best to be alive and get out of danger. Kevin’s life is at risk, too, if something happens to me.After a minute of thinking thoroughly, he came in and closed the door of the car. One of the bo

YSABELLE Tears formed in my eyes as I held his face, which didn't change from the last time I saw him. He's warm and breathing heavily.A loud bang echoed inside the house, which awakened me. Dad pulled me up to get up and dragged me to the corner as he exchanged bullets with Cleo.“Dad, you're alive! Paul said–”“Shhh.” He covered my mouth. “What the hell are you doing here? You know how dangerous this place is!” He hissed.I remove his hand and touch his chest, looking for the wounds that Paul said. But I couldn't find any.“Are you hurt? Cleo shot you, right?”“Let's get out of here.”He held my hand and sprinted to the door we first saw. We were greeted by the cold breeze as we paved our way inside the dark forest. But I remember that I needed to talk with Cleo.“No. I need to talk to her–”“She's out of her mind, Belle!” He scowled.“She's still my cousin.”He stopped and turned to me with raging eyes. I brushed off the tears falling from my eyes as I anxiously glanced behind
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 185
YSABELLE My hands were shaking while trying to press the gunshot wound in his chest to stop the bleeding, according to Jessica.But they are not stopping until Dad coughs more blood.“N-No… No…”I sobbed painfully, seeing him fighting for his life.“I love you… my… daughter.” His words broke up, and all he could say were stuttering sounds after that.I shook my head as I held his hands. “No, no, no. Don't close your eyes, Dad. Please, I'm begging don't close your eyes–” But he suddenly stopped moving. “D-Dad?” I tried to move him by slapping his face lightly, but he's being unresponsive. “No… No… No! Please wake up.” I begged as I hugged him tightly, burying my face on his neck. But he won't move anymore. His chest stopped pounding and the same with his breathing. I only cry uncontrollably as I keep blaming myself for being stubborn. It was my fault… I should have listened to him… I should have just hid behind that goddamn tree.He promised to stay with me. He promised not to lea

RONAN Hearing the story from Belle while she uncontrollably cried with her heart out, a pang invaded my chest.I couldn't bear the pain of seeing her like this.I wiped her face as I tried to calm her.“Who else knew about this?”“No one… Just you.” She whispered. “Not even Kevin?” A sigh of relief escaped from me when she shook her head. I hugged her tightly to ease the pain she felt. “It's okay… It's okay… It's not your fault.”***I tightly shut my eyes, seeing my men carrying two bodies in the bag, and placed them in front of me.I looked down and looked away immediately.It's Andrew Garcia and Cleo Cortez.They both only got one shot, but it killed them immediately because they were shot at the crucial part of the body.Cleo kills Andrew and Belle chooses to avenge her Dad.This is so complicated. Belle didn't eat the whole day and chose to lock herself in our room.We already left the mansion for the sake of Belle’s feelings. She doesn't want to see any member of the Cortez,
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 187
YSABELLE I woke up and felt the heaviness of my eyes, lazy enough to open first thing in the morning. I lay down, exhausted, and lost the will to move.The horrible happenings the other night were still fresh in my mind and heart. But I don't feel the guilt of killing Cleo.Not even an inch.I heard the twins giggle outside, which made me open my eyes and gaze at the window.Slowly, I got out of bed and walked to the window. Only to see the children I cherished in my entire being.The twins are playing in the pool. Smiles were painted on their tiny and gorgeous faces.Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered my Dad's excitement of wanting to meet the twins.If I had only known... If I had only had a hint of the truth… that he was my real father, I would not have made my desire to talk to Cleo come true. I wish I could follow him. I wish I had listened to him.But what's the use of regretting my actions that night? He's already gone.My chest twitches in pain as I turn my back at
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 188
YSABELLE *2 YEARS LATER*I got out of the conference room with a frown on my face as soon as the meeting ceased. My stilettos echoed in the hallway as I entered the elevator. When the door closes, I see my reflection through the elevator door.My eyes were empty and expressionless. It was as if I died deep inside, and this has been happening for two years now.Two years…Ronan was not on my side for two fucking years.Remembering our last seeing each other’s presence made the back of my eyes feel warm. I exit the elevator before someone else sees me showing emotions. Not here, of all places.I'm trying my best to be brave and endure the harsh reality of the world while handling all of Ronan's business. I've been the acting CEO for two years, taking over Ronan's position in the meantime– or not. Because two years was too long for not seeing him, not even just a glimpse of his hair.I entered his office and locked the door. His scent mixed with my scent invaded my nostrils.Not a da

YSABELLE As I entered the VIP room of the restaurant, the nervous smile of Jessica greeted me. She gained weight, but her awkward smile was still the same.“Hi.”I cleared my throat as I slowly reached the couch.“Hi, Jess.”I was surprised that she still had my number after not seeing or communicating for two years. But I was more surprised that she wanted to meet me.She got married yesterday, and that was all over the news. She should be on her honeymoon, not here with me.“You've changed.” She suddenly spoke. “I mean, you cut down your hair. It suits you.”A smile painted on my lips at her compliment.“Thanks.” I drink some water before clearing my throat again.“Congratulations on your marriage.”Her smile slowly faded, and she looked down on her fingers, fidgeting in her lap.I know what she felt.“You… didn't come.”My fingers tightened around the glass.She sent me an invitation card but I refused to attend her wedding.“Jessica, you know the situation.” “I was hoping you st

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,
