MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 97
YSABELLEThe woman looked sick as she ran her eyes on me, curious at my sudden appearance. Му eyes squinted as I saw a scar under her chin, but I think it's a tattoo or whatever."Who are you?!""Belle!" I was startled by her roar. "I-I'm Ysabelle Cortez."I gaze down at the picture frame, which thankfully didn't break an inch. I immediately placed it back on the bedside table with a trembling hand.I looked back at her, and she looked scared by how her eyes widened behind those long black strands of hair on her face."C-Cortez?" She mentioned my family name in horror. As I nodded slowly, her eyes shook in fear, and she ran to the corner hysterically. "No... No... No!"My lips parted at her sudden action as I tried to approach."Are you ok-""GET OUT!"I jumped off my feet and her raging eyes met mine. What makes her mad? What did I do wrong?She suddenly attacked me but I abruptly stayed away from her and half ran to the stairs."I'm sorry if I invaded your room, but Connor abducted
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 98
YSABELLE Extreme horror and fury delved into me as I witnessed Jacob being savagely harmed by Connor. Without thinking too much, I grabbed the vase in the corner and smashed it on his head, causing him to stop and wince at the pain on his head.I immediately carried Jacob and ran to the main door but I realized there were a lot of armed men behind the door. My pulse was pounding as I looked back at the kitchen door, afraid that Connor might follow us with a gun. I then sprinted to the window which I used as a door earlier.Did I severely injure his head? Did I kill him?I met the end of the narrow pathway. What should I do? What will I do?I panicked as I adjusted Jacob in my arms and noticed his silent sobbing. I can't blame him for choosing to be with Connor. He just doesn't know how cruel he was.When I gaze up at the concrete wall, it's not that high, but I need a platform to climb to the top of the wall.Placing Jacob to the ground, I held his face to look at me. His eyes were
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 99
RONAN I chugged down the whiskey as I watched the sun through the window, slowly appearing behind those white oak trees. I leaned at the bed frame as I closed my eyes in frustration. Another day has come again and another night has passed that I didn't sleep a wink. We still can't find Belle and Jacob. I'm already enraged that we couldn't catch Connor the other night, taking Belle and Jacob inside the car. If only I hadn't gotten upset at Belle, she would have been with me now, finding Jacob together. But… I devastatingly run my hands through my hair, furious at myself. I'm so damn worried about their safety. If… he touched them. If ever that asshole hurt them both… I won't think twice to kill Connor myself. Even if he says he's my brother. The door suddenly opened and Ashley, who just woke up, walked inside my bedroom. I immediately hide the alcohol under my bed and wipe my mouth. I hope the nasty scent of the alcohol is not strong enough to smell by a littl

YSABELLE As soon as we arrived at the nearest hospital, a doctor came running in our direction.“Please, he needs medical attention!” I panicked as soon as I saw Jacob's wounds and bruises on his butt and thigh when the water police, who rescued us, carefully laid Jacob on the wheeled stretcher.They immediately rushed Jacob to the emergency room, but Jacob suddenly held my hand. With a tight grasp in his hand, I smiled at him to assure him he was okay in their hands. But when we reached the emergency room entrance, the nurse stopped me.“I apologize, but you're not allowed inside–”“The child needs me!” I couldn't help but exclaim in rage.My pulse was pounding as I glared at her at full intent.How can I leave Jacob in their hands? I can't trust anyone right now as I don't know where we are.The police officer behind me tapped my shoulder lightly.“I sincerely apologize, but it's in our protocols.” I saw how her eyes pleaded, causing me to gaze down at Jacob.I only exasperated s
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 101
101YSABELLE It's been three days since we managed to get away from Connor's grasp and Ronan was occupied in searching for Connor during those days.He became more busy than before. I even scolded him for neglecting his sleep and meals, but with just a kiss, all of my irritation faded in an instant.Of course, he didn't forget to become a father to the children and a loving fiancee of mine.As I was preparing for breakfast, a hastily footstep came down the stairs.I knew who owned those footsteps. It's Ronan. It's his routine every morning to wake up early, give morning kisses to the kids and then to me, and leave without even touching his breakfast. But since I was not in a mood today because of my menstruation, I stopped him as soon as he got near me, wearing the casual attire he usually wore these days.“Ronan, it's Sunday.” I frown as I glare at him.Sunday is family day. I hope he knows that.“I'm sorry, love–”“No excuses. Go back upstairs, change your clothes, and wake up th
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 102
YSABELLE “Why didn't you tell me?” Ronan’s jaw clenched as he stared at me, causing my legs to weaken. I know he's angry at me for not telling what Connor had said.“I'm afraid you will act madly–”“Of course I am!”I flinched at his sudden outburst and immediately covered his mouth. I pulled him out of the hallway and entered his office. “Ronan, I'm sorry. But I am also hesitant to believe what Connor said. We need confirmation to clarify the facts first before getting furious.”He walked back and forth in front of me, not even listening to my words. He angrily scratched his head and slammed his body off the couch; aggravation was painted all over his face. “Ronan…” I lowered down, caressing his thigh to get his attention. “Tell me what you are thinking.”“I'm confused.”“Which is it?”He sighed deeply and met my eyes; the wrinkles in between his brows made me frown as well.“If Connor is my brother on my father's side, how can he be a father of Jacob? Jacob and I don't have any
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 103
YSABELLE A smile crept on my lips, seeing her unexpected reaction. “Is this place more comfortable than the actual jail?” I whispered, enough not to hear the two individuals at the door.But clearly enough for her to understand what I meant.“Get up and talk to me normally.” I hissed. “Or do you want that police officer to know that you're faking it to avoid the real prison?” I pulled down her long skirt, covering her bare legs. “You know, I have all the means to make this quicker than Ronan. He's just playing gently to you because you're Jacob's mother.” I harshly let go of her chin. “But not to me.” I leaned back on the couch and crossed my arms.“She's fine, and her handcuffs did not come off,” I said to the nurse and police officer. They let out a sigh and gazed down at Candice on the floor.“Call us if it happens again, Ms. Cortez.”I nod and give us privacy again. Through my peripheral vision, Candice sat down on the floor.“I want to see my son.” She firmly spoke.The audaci
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 104
YSABELLE The sun cast a luminescent glow as soon as we landed at Campeche International Airport. We headed straight to Cabañas Laguna, Isla Aguada, to gather information about what Connor had planned before. I hope the tip given by Candice is useful.After almost two hours, we stopped in front of a small and cozy hotel. A garden setting surrounds a decent-sized pool. With help from the Mexican authorities, we can easily enter the place as they are already getting inside the hotel, together with the Canadian and US police officers who handled the case of Connor in each country.I noticed that Ronan remained still in his seat while his eyes glued outside, watching the officers check the inside first with their firearms.“Are we not going inside?”“They have to make sure the place is safe for us, Belle.”I nodded and leaned on my seat. Seeing the hotel and pool made me realize we've never been hanging out again with the kids since the problem with Connor occurred.I want Jacob to go b

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
MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE Chapter 208
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,
