After being annulled at a young age, Amara Stephanie Mijares got a call from the family of her ex-husband. Nexus Almeradez got into an accident and she was the only one he remembered. His family asked her to stay next to Nexus to help her remember. They offer her a big amount of money that she can’t resist. She needs it for the expansion of her business. She accepts the offer, with the thought that it’s just a job for her and her personal life is out. In Nexus perspective, they are still married and that is what she hates because her heart is being weak again. Her ex-husband is a walking danger that will knock on her heart again and she doesn’t have the strength to resist. She’s falling for him, again and again. Oh no—yes!
View MoreCHAPTER 13 (PART 1)FLASHBACK, YEARS AGO I was sure that the car parked in front of our house didn’t belong to my sister’s annoying ex-boyfriend, Sebastian. And definitely, it wasn’t to our neighbor either. Sevi ran to me when the little kid saw his beautiful aunt. He raised both of his hands, urging me to carry him. He’s still in his pajamas and just woken up like me. “Auntie, up!” he pouted. I picked him up and kissed the baby of the family on the cheek as he put his head on my chest. “Where’s your mom?” I asked as I walked down the six-step staircase, still carrying Sevi. “Don’t know. Is Daddy outside?” “The car outside isn’t his—” I didn’t get to finish what I was supposed to say when I saw who was sitting on the couch. “Hello, Steph.” Nexus Almeradez greeted and smiled at me. “Auntie, close your mouth.” Sevi laughed. “Why are you here?” I asked, telling him I was very surprised to see this one-night-stand man I chose to forget. “Am I not allowed to visit you?
CHAPTER 12 Pain crossed in his face but I didn’t budge. Who cares if he’s hurting. I’m just telling the truth. “Can you tell me now what you want? I still have a lot of work to do in my office.” “We need your help,” Alejandro said. “I’m wasting my time here.” I said grudgingly and took and took my handbag to leave, I was about to walk away when Nexus grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to the chair. “I don’t appreciate your hand touching me, Mister,” I spat and glared at him. Reluctantly, he let go of my wrist. Alejandro spoke again in a serious tone. “This is not a waste of time, Stephanie. It is a death and life situation. You know what Leticia is doing. They are taking advantage of Nix’s situation to spend his money.” “What does it have to do with me?” “A lot! You will be the savior of Nix’s wealth,” he answered, which made me scrunch my nose. “Be Nix’s wife again.” My forehead furrowed in annoyance. “Are you out of your mind?” “We are serious, Amara Stephanie.
CHAPTER 11 (PART 2) It’s my fault too that I lost my baby. I am the mother and I should have been the first to know I was pregnant. “I didn’t remember anything but I feel like I need to say sorry.” “Your sorry can’t bring back my child. I hate you! I hate you so much!” I removed his arms from my waist as I stood up from my bed. He’s still kneeling and even bowed his head more. “Get up, Nexus,” I said, almost in a whisper. “You only hurting me more with what you’re doing.” The door opened. Alejandro and Rex were surprised when they saw Nexus' situation. I shook my head and went back to bed. I decided to ignore them and closed my eyes. My heart was numb and I didn’t want to deal with any of them. Alejandro forced his brother to get up and leave the room. Fortunately, they didn’t come back again. My parents arrived after. When the doctor gave his signal for me to go home, I didn’t waste any time. I don’t like hospitals; it brings me many painful memories. When we got home
CHAPTER 11 (PART 1) I peeked into the pantry when I heard the familiar laughter of my ex-husband. His face was smiling as he picked up the rolling grapes on the floor. He wiped them on his clothes before putting them into his mouth and laughing again with my employees. He was far from the Nexus I used to know when he was dealing with other people. He’s now down to earth, laughing and getting along with others easily. Nexus looked happier than I could remember. I sat on the couch, tired. I visited two branches of Casa Amara. It’s still under construction and I am really meticulous, especially with the materials. “Steph, I brought our launch,” Nexus said sweetly. I looked at him and told him to come in. I put a big smile on my face as he placed the food tray on the center table. He reached for something from his back pocket. My heart skipped a beat when he handed me a one-stem pink rose. “I-I have my own launch.” Nexus walked towards my table to get my lunch box. I stopped
CHAPTER 10: DÉJÀ VU Angel Love was nowhere to be found when Nexus had an accident, according to Alejandro. A month after the court granted our annulment, Nexus, and Angel Love’s engagement, was all over the TV stations, newspapers, and social media. Leticia liked her for her son. When Nix and I were still married, Angel Love clung to my ex-husband like a leech, sucking the positive energy of our marriage. I passed by her like I didn’t see the woman. And as if on cue, my sister approached me so I could say goodbye. “I saw Nexus’ fiancée. Do you want me to shoo her away?” she whispered while giving Angel Love a sharp look. “Let her be. Looks like she’s enjoying being a senator’s mistress.” It’s not a surprise to me that she’s cheated. “What about Nexus?” I shrugged and kissed my sister's cheek. “That’s their problem, not mine. Anyway, I have to go.” She and Sebastian accompanied me to my car. I waved at them and started maneuvering away from Northshire Village. I stopped
CHAPTER 9: THE FIANCEE Cars were already parked in front of my sister’s house when I arrived. I could hear the laughter of the children coming from the garden of the mansion. I get out of the car after grabbing the large paper bag from the back seat. A maid from Rocc's family greeted me and led me to where the celebration was. The birthday celebrant, Sevi, excitedly ran towards me. “Auntie!” Sevi gleefully clung to my legs and looked up to me with his innocent green eyes. “Happy birthday.” I greeted and kissed my nephew’s forehead. He hugged the paper bag I was holding and smiled at me. “Is this for me?” I nodded and finally gave it to him. “Sevi, you’ll open your gifts later. Put it on the table with other gifts.” My sister let me sit at one of the tables when Sevi placed the paper bag with other gifts. “Dad is overacting,” I said, almost whining. “I told you, maybe this is a second chance for you and Nix.” “There’s no second chance,” I emphasized every word. Nes
CHAPTER 8: SEEING HIS FORMER IN-LAWS My eyes widened and I froze in my seat. His soft lips caused an electrifying feeling that made my whole body numb—paralyzing my system. He pulled away as quickly as his lips touched mine. Ears and neck turned red before he buried his face in the curve of my neck. If it wasn’t for his hand touching my waist, I wouldn’t come to my senses. I swallowed a few times and gently removed his head from my shoulder. “Rest now. I’ll wake you up when the food is ready.” He must have sensed my avoidance because he gently squeezed my waist before slowly letting go. I helped him lie down in bed. The next day, the new chef arrived at the mansion. I knew her back in high school. Analyn was my friend together with Meimei. The woman used to be a troublemaker back then, but now, she’s one of the in-demand chefs’ in the country. She gave me the infamous ‘criminal offensive side-eye’ and I rolled my eyes at her, in return. Analyn laughed. Nexus l
CHAPTER 7: FLOWERS AND A REWARD “Nexus!” I ran to him as soon as I entered his room. He was struggling on the floor, the wheelchair lying above half of his body. His eyebrows were furrowed and groaned in pain. “Nexus!” I called and shook him slightly to wake him up. I was startled for a moment when I saw his bleeding hand. Pieces of broken glass from a bottle of medicine were scattered on the floor. I cursed in a low voice and put my palm on his head. He has a fever and—where the hell was his private nurse?! Damn it! I repeatedly pressed the buzzer to get help but no one answered the intercom. “Shit!” I tried to lift him up. “S-Steph…” “I need to get you up. Come on, help me will you?” I said, relief that he’s awake. I winced as we almost both fell over as I dragged his heaviness towards the bed. He’s really heavy, bulky—damn! I wanna hit this guy! I was panting heavily by the time I finally settled him against the headboard of the bed. He was whimpering when I g
CHAPTER 6: SUSPECTS Twenty missed calls greeted me when I finally turned on my phone. They all came from the same number and I had a hunch who it was. Rex was also asking if I was going back to Hacienda Constancia. I deleted the missed calls and put my phone back inside my bag. It was starting to get dark so the street lights of the driveways of Hacienda were already lit. I slowed down my walk, I didn’t want the moment to end anytime soon. Because the moment I entered the mansion again, I knew I wouldn’t be able to breathe comfortably again. Being around my ex-husband suffocates me. It was six evenings when I finally arrived at the front door of the mansion. I recognized Alejandro’s car as I noticed how quiet the mansion was. There was no sign of Leticia nor Hordan. “You came back.” I looked over my shoulder and saw Nix’s brother just come out of the Master’s bedroom. He was looking at me with those cold intimidating eyes. “What do you mean by that?” “You left without
CHAPTER 1: MEETING THE EX-HUSBAND AGAINI was shocked when Attorney Mendez showed up at Casa Amara after two years. He had come to ask for my help. Nexus Almeradez, my ex-husband had been in an accident and could only remember me. His family wanted me to help him remember everything. The thought of seeing Nexus again made me want to burst out. He was the man who had shattered my life and caused me so much misery. I couldn't believe that his family would expect me to agree to stay by his side. Attorney Mendez told me that Nexus's mother, Leticia Monroe, was offering a hundred million as a down payment. I was surprised that she would come up with such a proposal, considering she had been against our marriage two years ago. “We are aware that you are facing difficulties expanding your business, as you are unable to start construction due to a shortage of funds. We know what you've been through—” “You don’t know anything!”The lawyer was momentarily taken aback by the rise in my voic
