TILDAI tossed and turned on the bed as his hands reached for me.“I don’t deserve this,” I cried. “I don’t deserve any of this.”I gripped his collar and pulled him closer, searching through his blurred face, hoping to see James.“You are drunk, Tilda, by morning you will be fine.” He tried to resist but didn’t do a thing to stop me. Perhaps he felt my pain too.“It has always been James and no one else. They had no right to do this to me,” I sobbed. I sat on the bed and grabbed his neck, and as he made to draw back, I took his lips into mine, kissing him desperately, unleashing the pain and anger that I bore.“Tilda,” he moaned, caught in my web of revenge.“Shhh...” I placed my fingers on his lips, giggling. “I don’t know how, but I will make them pay someday,” I vowed in my drunkenness.“You can remain here, Tilda. You can stay for as long as you want,” he offered.I laughed out loud this time, my voice sounding strange to me. It was as if some other force had taken over, a spir

TILDA“Prepare this file, Tilda, the meeting is in twenty minutes.” Oscar Gray walked in and stretched a file to me.As I reached for the file, I found his gaze on me. At first it was intense, then indifferent, and suddenly cold.“Okay, sir,” I replied yet he wouldn’t release the file. “I will work on it right away.”He dropped the file on my desk, his gaze still on me, this time expressionless. “This meeting at Petals Tower is very crucial. I want the merger concluded in a very short period. So you should know to put in your best in the preparation.”My breath hitched. There was going to be a merger of my company! That cannot be possible. Petals Tower’s foundation was solid and should survive whatever tsunami for generations to come.What happened? How did James run down the company? I was going to make enough money someday and buy Petals Tower. I had deprived myself of so many things all these years for the same reason.Should Petals Tower find its way to O. Gray Future Corporation,

STEVENI was outside the office complex when Boss walked out, and I opened the car door for him before going in through the other door. The chauffeur ignited the engine and drove off. The other cars carrying the company’s directors followed behind.“Miss. Tilda is supposed to come with you, Boss,” I observed.His gaze became stormy. “I will handle this alone,” he replied. “What did you find out?”“It appears Miss. Tilda pawned a family heirloom before she travelled,” I began. “She visited the pawn store in Midtown, however, she didn’t reclaim the ring.”He maintained his cold gaze. “You were supposed to give her enough money before she left.”“I would have, Boss. But she left in so much hurry and wouldn’t take anything,” I replied.He frowned. “You should go retrieve the ring, Steven. Tilda may lose it soon,” he ordered.“Alright, Boss. Should I send it to her?” I asked.“No, Steven, bring the ring to me,” he replied.I remained quiet for a while. It was obvious that Boss was getting

TILDAI woke up at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, my eyes still heavy with sleep. With sluggish steps, I made my way downstairs to check on my kids.“You’re awake, Mom,” Dixon called out excitedly. “Come have breakfast! You don’t need to do anything.”Miranda walked in with a warm smile. “Oh, Tilda, you’re up already,” she said.Surprised, I glanced at her. “Miranda, I didn’t know you slept over. You were supposed to take your day off yesterday. I’m so sorry for making you stay so late.”Work had been overwhelming the day before, filled with an endless string of meetings. I had called home to let Miranda know I’d be back late, but I never expected her to stay overnight and take care of things in my absence.She smiled reassuringly. “It’s okay, Tilda. I understand how exhausting work and parenting can be. I’ll leave tonight.”“Tonight?” I echoed, feeling a pang of guilt.“Yes. I’ll be taking the kids to lunch at Zindler Park first,” she explained.“Mom, you should come with us! Miranda s

KRISTIEMom burst into the office, her face pale with urgency. “Oh, James, you have to do something!” she cried. “You must stop O. Gray immediately!”Her presence was an unexpected relief. It was the escape I needed.“He has us pinned, Megan. I am afraid there is nothing we can do,” James lamented.Mom exhaled. “Okay, James. You can start by going over everything with us. We would all find a solution together.”James sighed and returned to his seat. He rubbed his palms together in a bid to relax. We waited until he was ready.“O. Gray Future Corporation wants a takeover. They already initiated an action as it is. And they have the best team of lawyers working for them,” he explained.Mom’s face instantly turned red. “Oscar Gray has no right to meddle in the Tristan affair. Our family may not be up to their in the social status, but we are very much aware of our right.”James gritted his teeth in exasperation, his eyelids twitching.“Exactly, mom. He should be out of our affairs. Petal

OSCAR GRAYIt was the weekend, and I finally made my way to Grandpa’s house. It had been a while since my last visit, and for weeks now, he had been requesting to see me. Monsieur King was a man of great influence, and even at seventy-seven, he still carried himself with dignity and authority. However, in recent years, his health had begun to wane.“Oh, dear boy!” Grandpa exclaimed the moment he spotted me. “You finally decided to visit this helpless old man.”He chuckled in his usual way, opening his arms for an embrace. I considered reminding him that I was no longer a little boy, but I knew it wouldn’t change a thing.“I see you’re strong as ever, Grandpa,” I said, stepping into his embrace. “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Business has been hectic.”“Sit here, boy.” He gestured to the seat beside him. “The servants are preparing dinner. I want you to stay and eat with me today.”“Alright, sir. I’ll stay for dinner,” I agreed.He wasted no time before getting to the point. “Oscar,

KRISTIE“You are the known survivor, Rufus. No one can take this right from you,” mom reminded dad.Dad coughed. Ever since returning from the hospital he has been indoor, avoiding anything that could take him out.His health was slowly deteriorating after he was brought home. The caregiver had resumed, and hopefully there will be some improvement on the state of his health soon.“Yes, Rufus, you are Lyxa’s husband, and Tilda’s father and legally all they left behind should come to you as the next of kin,” Mom explained. “We must prepare the requisite documents and stop Oscar Gray’s madness. If not, we will be doomed.”Dad sighed. “Tilda hasn’t returned. Why will she leave home for so long?” he lamented. “No matter whatever, she shouldn’t abandon her family so.”“That is because she doesn’t care, Rufus. Don’t you get it? She’s always been this way, selfish. Always about her,” Mom pointed out.“I never meant for her to leave this long,” dad lamented still.“I am in this mess because of

TILDA“S-Sir...” I mumbled, my eyes locking onto Mr. Gray.It had been sheer luck. A second longer, and they would have seen me. The mere thought of being discovered sent a shudder through me.Kristie had unknowingly brushed against my shoulder while I was pressed against the wall, hiding the moment I recognized their voices. They were angry—that much was clear—and I knew that could only mean trouble.Megan and Kristie... What were they doing in Mr. Gray’s office?Had they found out about me? Or was this about Petals Tower?My heart pounded as I leaned further into the shadows, desperate to remain unseen. I watched them disappear into the elevator, their sharp voices fading with the closing doors. I should have felt relief. But I didn’t.Slowly, still in shock, I forced myself toward Mr. Gray’s office, dread pooling in my stomach. If he ever discovered my connection to them, I would be doomed. He might think I was a spy.The moment I stepped inside, he got up abruptly, striding toward

OSCAR GRAYI returned home elated. Tilda was finally getting the happiness she deserved and soon she will be able to recover everything that was wrongly stolen from her.However, the main reason for my happiness was the fact that she had agreed to be my girlfriend. It may not be marriage as I wanted but it was a step in the right direction. Soon, she will come to realize just how much she loves me and marry me.“Hey, darling,” Alicia greeted me by the door.Draped a thin see-through nighties, and swaying her hips seductively a sultry smile playing on her lips.“You are back quite early today. Guess what? I made your favorite French crepes pancake.”“I am not hungry,” I replied.“Really,” she frowned. “I spent the whole day in the kitchen making those, Oscar.”“You don’t have to do anything for me, Alicia.” I reminded her.I continued to the room while she followed behind me expressing her displeasure.“I wanted it to be just like old times, honey. I already set up the roof top. We wil

JAMESAs Megan explained, my mind dwelled on my encounter with Miranda at the mall. I still couldn’t help but wonder if by chance she had any information on Tilda.Occasionally, I nodded at Megan as she tried to get my attention but my mind remained far off. Was Tilda still alive? If she was, I must find her at all cost.Megan she handed a document to me. “Here is the document, James, sign it right away.”Confused, I only stared at the document. “Docu... ment,” I stuttered. “What is it for?”Megan got pissed. “What have you been thinking, James. I said it is for the loan. We need this loan to hire a more qualified lawyer for our case.”Kristie hissed. “He is never bothered about our predicament. He can always return to the slum where he belongs.”I remained quiet. The disturbing rumor about Kristie’s shamefully flirting with Oscar Gray was all over the place but I had initially chose to ignore until Shantel’s birthday.However, that was the least of my concern. I shouldn’t expect any
OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 59 – MEETING JAMES
JAMESThe same old Miranda—always looking so youthful and happy. Seeing her standing before me brought back a flood of memories. It felt as if it was only yesterday that she was sitting with Tilda in our house, chatting about everything and nothing.“I bet. And what about Tilda? Have you heard from her?” I asked, keeping my tone casual, though my heart pounded with anticipation.“No, not really. She’s been... out of touch,” she replied, her voice even, but I wasn’t convinced. Miranda had never been good at lying. There was hesitation in her eyes, a slight flicker of something unsaid.I studied her closely, searching for any crack in her façade. But Miranda simply smiled, keeping up the polite act. Perhaps she truly didn’t know where Tilda was, or perhaps she was protecting her. Either way, I wasn’t going to push. Not yet.I nodded, acting as if I accepted her response. “I see. Well, if you do hear from her, tell her I’d love to catch up.”Miranda hesitated for only a fraction of a sec
OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 58 - THE ONE TIME KISS
TILDABy the time we arrived at the restaurant later that evening, the tension that had settled between us during the day had softened into something warm, something comfortable. The ambiance was inviting—dim lighting, a soft hum of conversation, and a live band playing slow jazz.As we sat across from each other in a quiet corner, I found myself smiling more than I should. He had this way of pulling me into his world, making everything else fade away.He told me a story from his childhood, about how he got lost at a festival and spent the evening with a kind old couple who mistook him for their grandson.“I didn’t even realize I was missing until my grandfather found me,” he admitted with a chuckle. “I was too busy enjoying their stories and the candied apples they kept feeding me.”I laughed softly, resting my chin on my hand. “You must have been adorable as a child.”He smirked, tilting his head. “I still am.”I rolled my eyes, but my heart did something strange—something warm and

KRISTIEDylan looked up. “Mr. Gray is here now,” he said to his siblings. “We should go home.”Without a second glance at me, the kids left.I smirked. I wasn’t going to let this moment slip away. I strode forward and caught Oscar’s arm just as he was about to enter the vehicle.“Oscar,” I purred, my voice sweet yet urgent.His eyes darkened as he turned to face me.“I know about the kids now,” I whispered, tightening my grip on his sleeve. “What do you think the world will say when they learn of your secret affair?” I smirked. “You have to give in to me, Oscar.”His jaw clenched, but he said nothing.Instead, he exhaled sharply, his forehead creasing in irritation. Without a word, he stepped into the car, shutting the door in my face.The driver pulled away, leaving me standing alone.The next moment, Lady Sheila stepped out. “We are done here, Kristie,” she called to me.I went over to her. “Lady Sheila, how did it go?”I was enthusiastic as I gripped her wrist anxiously anticipatin
OUR MUMMY'S EX-HUSBAND WANTS TO CLAIM US NOW CHAPTER 56 – DROPPING THE CASE AGAINST PETALS TOWER
OSCAR GRAYLady Sheila’s eyes flicked between Grandfather and me, her smile poised, practiced. I could already predict the words forming on her lips. She had come with Kristie—no further proof was needed.Confidently, she settled into her seat, her voice as smooth as ever. “Monsieur King, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have Kristie as part of the family?”She glanced toward him, gauging his reaction and when there was none, she went on. “She’s always been devoted to Oscar, and I believe she—”“No,” Grandfather cut in, his voice even but firm.Lady Sheila’s expression barely faltered, but I caught the flicker of irritation in her eyes.“Now, now,” she chuckled lightly, waving a delicate hand. “There’s no need to be so dismissive, dear. Surely, you can acknowledge that Kristie has more potential of being loyal.”“She’s been persistent,” I corrected, my voice devoid of warmth.Grandfather folded his arms, his gaze steady. “Sheila, we appreciate your years of dedication to the family. But th

OSCAR GRAY“What do they want here,” I whispered to grandpa. “You should have informed me of their visit.”“Ah, Lady Sheila,” Grandpa said, his tone polite but distant. He pulled me closer. “I am just as surprised, boy.”Grandpa’s pleasant mood vanished instantly. It was all due to Kristie’s presence. As for Sheila, she was always welcomed to the house.Lady Sheila smiled gracefully. “Monsieur King, it’s been too long.”She cast a brief glance at Kristie, who stepped forward, clearly eager to make an impression. However, before she could speak, the kids burst back into the room, freshly cleaned and full of energy.The shift in atmosphere was immediate. Lady Sheila’s expression faltered. Kristie’s eyes widened in shock. They had not expected to see the quadruplets here.A brief silence fell over the room.Denzel was the first to break it, tilting his head curiously at the two women. “Who... why are they, Mr. Gray?”He shot a glance at me. They must feel that I had invited the ladies ov

KRISTIEA mistake?Tense, I drew in a deep breath, heat blooming beneath my skin.Lady Sheila was my last hope, she was the only one that could get Monsieur King to drop his resentment against my family. Monsieur King would never ignore her.“Yes Kristie. Your marriage,” Sheila continued. “You marriage to James might be a sham, but it will stand on your way of getting Oscar. Such an arrangement doesn’t speak well of you.”I swallowed hard. Sheila doesn’t know the whole truth. I and my mother appeared like the victims to her. She mustn’t know that we’ve orchestrated this from the start and James was the pawn all along..“I had to do it, aunt. Our family was going to lose everything to James and that was the least I could do.”“I understand dear,” Sheila patted me.“The court case,” I admitted. “James couldn’t afford a competent lawyer. We could lose everything.”Sheila’s gaze turned calculating.“Leave that to me,” she said coolly. “Right now, we need to focus on Oscar. If Alicia stays

TILDA“Not possible?” Miranda’s brows drew together. “Why?”I paused. For weeks, I’d buried the truth. Locked it away. Pretended it never happened. But I was exhausted from carrying the weight alone.So I told her—about the night I was robbed. The moment everything vanished. My savings. My future. Diamond’s future. Gone in a blink.The ring... unrecoverable.Miranda’s face went pale. “Tilda…” she breathed.“I didn’t even tell the police,” I admitted. “I was scared. And ashamed. That money was everything.”She reached for my hand. Her grip was steady, grounding. “You haven’t failed,” she said. “You still have your job. Your kids. And me.”Tears pricked at the back of my eyes. I blinked rapidly, but they came anyway.“You’ll work hard,” she continued. “You’ll rebuild. You’ll secure a better future for your children. And you will rise again.”I exhaled, shaky but real. For the first time since last night, a flicker of hope sparked in my chest.I nodded slowly, wiping my eyes with the bac
