Pursuing My EX Wife 188
Lily stepped out of the car as soon as Moses parked. A gentle breeze brushed against her face, making her long hair sway slightly. She stood beside him, adjusting the hem of her dress, a radiant smile lighting up her features.“Where is this?” she asked, her eyes scanning the massive glass-fronted building before her. There was a slight furrow in her brows as she tried to process her surroundings. Everything about this place screamed wealth and power.Moses, standing tall beside her, kept his face emotionless. His sharp jawline was set in its usual cold expression. He barely spared her a glance before looking away. “One of my workplaces,” he said, his tone indifferent.Lily’s eyes widened, her jaw dropping slightly. She turned back to the imposing structure before her, marveling at its grandeur. “Wow,” she breathed, her voice laced with admiration. “You have so many sources of income?” She turned to face him, studying him like she was seeing him for the first time.She had always know

Lilian stepped into the restaurant, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The dim lighting cast a warm glow over the room, but it did little to ease the tight knot in her stomach. She had been at work when she received Noah’s text, asking her to meet him here. The urgency in his message had unsettled her, but he hadn’t given her any details. Without hesitation, she had dropped everything, grabbed her keys, and driven straight over.Now, as she took in the scene before her, confusion swirled in her chest like a brewing storm.Noah was already standing, his gaze fixed on her the moment she walked in. But what caught her attention even more was the presence of two others at the table—Moses and a woman she didn’t recognize right away.Her steps slowed, and her brows furrowed as her eyes darted between them. Something about the woman seemed oddly familiar, but Lilian couldn’t place it.She swallowed hard, a sudden feeling of unease creeping in. “What is going on?” she asked

Moses drove home faster than usual, gripping the steering wheel tightly as his mind raced with unanswered questions. The evening had taken a turn he hadn’t expected, and he wasn’t sure how to process it. The tense dinner at the restaurant, Lilian’s abrupt departure, the words left unspoken—it all sat heavily on his chest.The city lights flickered past him in a blur, but he barely noticed. His focus was singular: getting home and making sure Lilian was okay.As he pulled into the driveway, he took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. He knew he had to keep his emotions in check, but it wasn’t easy. This wasn’t just about him anymore.The moment he stepped inside, the familiar warmth of the house should have calmed him, but it didn’t.Franklin, Gabriel, and Matt were seated in the living room, engaged in quiet conversation. But their focus quickly shifted the moment Moses walked in. His tense expression did not go unnoticed.Franklin raised an eyebrow, his sharp gaze scanning Moses

Lilian tightened her grip on the steering wheel, exhaling slowly as she tried to push away the restless thoughts clouding her mind.That morning, Franklin had offered to take Matt to school, but she had refused.She wasn’t even sure why. Maybe it was guilt—the ever-present ache in her chest every time she looked at her son and realized how much of his childhood she was missing. Maybe it was selfishness, wanting to steal a few extra minutes with him before her work consumed the rest of her day.Whatever the reason, she had insisted on taking him herself.Matt had been his usual energetic self in the back seat, kicking his legs excitedly as he talked about his art project.“Mom, will you pick me up today?” he had asked, his voice filled with hope.Lilian had hesitated.She wanted to say yes.She wanted to be the kind of mother who could promise her son something and actually keep her word.But she had been a mother long enough to know how unpredictable her work schedule was.“We’ll see,

Lilian gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she sped toward the school. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her mind raced with possibilities. The road blurred past her, but she didn’t care—she had to get to Matt.The moment she reached the school, she slammed the brakes, barely taking the time to park properly before throwing the car door open. She ran toward the school entrance, her heels clicking sharply against the pavement.Her breath came in short, uneven bursts as she entered the hallway. Immediately, her eyes landed on Matt’s teacher standing just outside his classroom. The woman’s expression was tense, her hands clasped together as if she had been anxiously waiting for her.Lilian didn’t even wait to catch her breath. She strode toward the teacher, her voice tight with panic.“What happened? Who took him?”The teacher hesitated, looking her up and down before answering. Her brows furrowed as she studied Lilian’s face carefully.“The person who pic

Lilian frowned as she gripped the edge of her seat. Her anxiety spiked with every passing second, her fingers tightening as she glanced out the window, noting the unfamiliar neighborhood. Dim street lights lit the surroundings, casting long, eerie shadows over the pavement. She had no idea where they were, and it only worsened the unease gnawing at her gut.“Where is this?” Lilian’s voice was laced with confusion, unable to hide her discomfort.“Her house,” Marcus replied flatly, already unbuckling his seatbelt. He had his usual unreadable expression, but Lilian could sense something more underneath it.Lilian’s stomach tightened. “You think she brought Matt here?” The disbelief in her voice was unmistakable. “Why would she do that? Why would she be so reckless?”Marcus sighed deeply before he turned his head and looked at her. “Are you coming, or do you want to sit here all night?” His voice was nonchalant, but there was an edge to it.Lilian wanted to lash out at him. Her anger was

Lily tried to look at Marcus with a pleading expression, her face flushed as she gasped for breath. “Marcus, please… I’m choking,” she begged, her voice barely a whisper.But Marcus only tightened his grip, not showing an ounce of sympathy. The man who once would have shown mercy was now cold, his heart hardened with anger.“Where is he?” Marcus demanded, his eyes narrowing in ruthless determination.“I… I…” Lily stammered, struggling to find the strength to speak. “He’s in the third room,” she finally managed, pointing weakly toward a door across the room.Lilian’s eyes widened with hope as she heard those words. Without hesitation, she sprinted toward the room, her heart racing with anticipation. She couldn’t wait any longer to see her baby.Lilian pushed open the door to the third room, only to be greeted by an empty space. Panic flickered in her chest as she stepped back into the hallway, her mind racing.Marcus was still gripping Lily’s throat tightly. “Did you find him?” he aske

Lily stepped out of the house, her eyes immediately landing on Marcus, who was standing alone in the driveway. The sight of him, distant and lost in thought, made her chest tighten. She had hoped for a different outcome, but now it seemed inevitable.“Marcus,” she called out, her voice shaking with the mix of confusion and hurt that she was trying desperately to suppress. “Why are you doing this?” The words came out with an air of betrayal, her face a mask of vulnerability as she stood there, hoping for some kind of explanation.Marcus turned slowly, his gaze meeting hers with an unreadable expression. He took a moment to study her as if seeing her for the first time. It unsettled her. The warmth she had once felt in his presence seemed to be fading. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice steady but distant. “And what’s going on with you? Are you still the same Lily? How did you become so… so evil?” His words cut deeper than she anticipated, his eyes clouded with disbelief.Lily stoo

Pursuing My EX Wife Epilogue
“Daddy! Mom is looking for you!” Matt called out, his voice urgent.Marcus immediately stepped into the room and hurried toward Lilian, who sat on the bed, cradling her swollen belly.“Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes scanning her face for any sign of distress.Lilian let out a shaky breath. “I think my water just broke,” she said.Marcus’ eyes widened. He turned to Matt without hesitation.“Go find your uncles and grandma. Tell them your mom is in labor.”Matt didn’t waste a second. He spun around and dashed out of the room, his heart racing with excitement. His baby sister was finally coming!Lilian was rushed to the hospital without delay.Inside the delivery room, Marcus refused to leave her side. He hadn’t been there for Matt’s birth, and he wasn’t about to miss this one.But as he watched Lilian endure contraction after contraction, pain twisting her face, he felt helpless. His fists clenched at his sides. He wished he could take the pain for her.He tightened his grip on her h

Matt’s eyes were fixed on the big screen, his brows furrowed in deep concentration.“Is it impossible to crack?” he asked, turning to Marcus.Marcus shrugged. “Seems like it.”Matt studied him for a moment, then narrowed his eyes at the screen. “I can try,” he said.Marcus stood up, making room for Matt to take his place at the laptop.The moment Matt’s fingers touched the keyboard, they moved with a speed and precision that left Marcus stunned. He had never seen Matt type before, and watching him now was mesmerizing. He did it with such ease, such confidence—it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing.Marcus crossed his arms and nodded in approval, feeling an unexpected surge of pride.“Done!” Matt announced, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.Marcus immediately leaned in, eyes scanning the screen. His breath caught for a second—Matt had actually done it. The code was cracked.“Wow,” Marcus muttered, a rare smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Good job.”Without

Lilian walked into the house that evening, surprised to see her father with an elderly man. They were deep in conversation, as if they had been friends for years. “Dad,” Lilian greeted him. Gabriel looked up and smiled. “You’re back. How was work?” he asked. “It was fine, Dad,” she replied, turning her attention to the elderly man. “Good evening, sir,” she greeted him politely. “How are you doing?” the man asked, his face lighting up with a warm smile. “I’m doing very well, sir. What about you?” Lilian responded, offering him a smile of her own. “I’m doing fine. You look so beautiful,” the old man said, nodding his head approvingly. Lilian blushed at the compliment. “Thank you, sir.” “This is Marcus’ grandfather,” Gabriel introduced. Lilian froze in surprise. She had never met Marcus’ grandfather before. This was her first time meeting him. “Oh! Hello, sir!” she greeted him warmly, now understanding who he was. “We never met when you and Marcus were still together,” the old

The next day, Linda was arrested and charged with attempted murder and kidnapping. Additionally, her history of bullying had led to a young woman’s suicide, further worsening her case. The weight of her crimes was undeniable, and with the overwhelming evidence against her, there was no room for denial.As soon as the police took her into custody, news of her arrest spread quickly. Social media was flooded with posts about the woman who had orchestrated kidnappings, attempted murders, and had driven someone to their death through sheer cruelty.In the cold, gray confines of the prison, Linda sat on a hard bench, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. The prison cell smelled of rust and sweat, and the metal bars that caged her in seemed to close in more with each passing second.Then, the sound of approaching footsteps made her stiffen. She looked up, and her expression immediately twisted into one of pure hatred.The man she had once deceived—manipulated into risking his life for her

Marcus sat at his desk, fingers moving swiftly across his laptop keyboard as he reviewed the latest security reports. His office was quiet except for the rhythmic tapping of his fingers. The sunlight streaming through the window cast a soft glow on the room, highlighting the expensive furnishings and the neatly organized stacks of paperwork on his desk.A sudden knock at the door interrupted his focus.“Come in,” he called out without looking up.The door swung open, and when he finally looked up, he was surprised to see Lilian standing there with Matt by her side.His brows lifted slightly, but his expression quickly softened. He hadn’t expected to see them today.Matt, beaming with excitement, didn’t wait for an invitation. He stepped forward, walking straight toward Marcus’s desk.“Good morning!” the boy greeted enthusiastically.Marcus stood from his chair, his gaze shifting between Lilian and Matt. His lips curled into a rare, genuine smile. “Good morning, Matt. How are you?”“I’

Marcus shrugged and turned to Moses, pulling out his phone. With a swipe, he brought up a picture of Linda and held it out for him to see.Moses squinted at the image, his brow furrowing. Something about her seemed familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.“She…” he muttered, trying to recall. He knew this woman—he was sure of it. But from where?“She used to work for your company,” Marcus supplied, his tone flat. “She got fired, and after that, she developed a deep hatred for Lilian. She believed Lilian was the reason she lost her job.”Moses clenched his fists. “Damn it.” His jaw tightened as guilt weighed down on him. He should have been keeping an eye on Linda, should have monitored her actions. If he had, maybe Lilian wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess.Marcus exhaled sharply before turning back to the captive man. He crossed his arms and studied him carefully. “Sooo… are you ready?” he asked, his tone casual but laced with authority.The man slowly lifted his head, his ex

Marcus pulled out his phone as he strode into the dimly lit warehouse. His fingers moved swiftly across the screen as he dialed Moses’ number.The call connected after two rings.“Who else did you tell about me taking those men to the warehouse?” Marcus asked, his voice calm but firm.Moses hesitated for a second before answering, “Noah.”Marcus frowned slightly. “Is he a hacker?”“No, he’s not. Why? What’s wrong?” Moses’ voice carried a hint of concern. “Did they escape?”“No, they didn’t.” Marcus’ eyes darkened as he recalled the email Hilary had received. “But my assistant just got an email… and it contains every detail we need.”There was silence on the other end for a moment before Moses spoke again. “Where are you right now?”“I’m on my way to the warehouse,” Marcus replied as he continued walking.“Okay, I’m coming now,” Moses said. Marcus could hear the rustling of movement, as if he was already getting up.“Alright.” Marcus ended the call.The cold, musty air of the warehouse

Lilian woke up to the sound of the door creaking open. A soft shuffle of footsteps followed, and she turned her head in the direction of the noise. The doctor and a nurse walked in, their expressions neutral but observant as they approached.She sat up slowly, rubbing her temples as confusion settled in. Something felt… off. Her eyes widened when she looked down and realized she was lying on the hospital bed.How?She clearly remembered sitting on the chair by Marcus’ bedside. She had rested her head against the mattress for a bit, but she was certain she had never moved. Had someone placed her on the bed while she was asleep? But who?Her gaze flickered toward Marcus, who was still sitting in the chair beside her, watching her with a calm expression.The doctor and nurse also seemed surprised to find her in bed instead of the chair. The doctor hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.“Good morning, sir,” he greeted Marcus respectfully.Marcus gave a curt nod, acknowledging him
