Pursuing My EX Wife 209
Marcus stepped into his house, shutting the door behind him. The quietness of the space greeted him, offering a rare moment of solitude after a long day.With a sigh, he loosened his tie and walked over to the couch, sinking into it. His muscles ached slightly from exhaustion, but he didn’t mind. He just needed a few minutes to rest before heading upstairs.As he leaned his head back against the couch, his eyes drifted shut.Ringggggggg!The sudden shrill ringing of his phone jolted him upright.Frowning, he reached into his pocket and pulled it out. His brows furrowed when he saw the caller ID—an unsaved number.Normally, he wouldn’t bother picking up unknown calls, especially this late at night. But for some reason, he felt an odd urge to answer this one.With a sigh, he swiped to accept the call.“Hello,” he said, his tone cold and unreadable.“Is Lilian with you?” A deep male voice asked, wasting no time on pleasantries.Marcus’s grip on the phone tightened. “No, she’s not. Who is

The following morning, Marcus drove down to the Gabriel family’s house to meet them.Franklin was the one who opened the door. He stepped aside, allowing Marcus to walk in.The living room was well-furnished, elegant yet cozy. The polished wooden floors gleamed under the soft lighting, and a large chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling. Everything about the space spoke of quiet wealth and refinement.Marcus briefly took in the surroundings before shifting his focus back to the reason he was here.Gabriel, the head of the family, sat on one of the large leather chairs. He raised his head and looked at Marcus, his gaze calm but assessing.“Mr. Marcus,” he greeted.Marcus gave a respectful nod and bowed his head slightly. “Good morning, sir.”Gabriel acknowledged the greeting with a small nod but didn’t say anything further.Moses, however, wasted no time getting to the point. His face was tight with tension, his voice clipped.“Is there any update?” he asked.Marcus exhaled and sh

There was no response.Marcus and Moses stood in the middle of the abandoned building, listening carefully, but all they could hear was the faint sound of the wind whistling through the cracks in the walls.The silence was unsettling.They moved cautiously through the space, their footsteps echoing against the cold concrete floor. The building was empty—completely deserted.They searched every room, checking behind old, rusted beams and through partially constructed hallways. Still, there was no sign of Lilian.Moses let out a frustrated sigh. “There’s nothing here.”Marcus didn’t respond right away. His sharp eyes scanned the area, his mind racing through possibilities. He wasn’t willing to accept that this was a dead end. There had to be something they were missing.After double-checking every possible hiding place, they finally walked out of the building.Moses ran a hand through his hair, his brows furrowed in frustration.“How come?” he muttered, shaking his head.Marcus crossed

Marcus’s eyes locked onto the message. His heartbeat quickened slightly, but his face remained unreadable.We found something. Sending the details now.A second later, an attachment followed.He quickly opened it.It was a partial surveillance recovery—not from the abandoned building, but from a nearby street camera.The footage was grainy, but it clearly showed a black van parked a few blocks away from the site.Then, a blurry figure appeared—carrying someone.Marcus’s jaw clenched.Though the footage wasn’t clear enough to see faces, the situation was obvious. Lilian had been moved into that van.And now, he had a lead.He wasted no time.Dialing Hilary, he barked his next order. “Find that van. I need the plates traced immediately. Why is everything so slow? You guys should do better!” His frown deepened, irritation evident in his voice.Hilary, already sensing the urgency, responded quickly. “On it, boss.”Marcus exhaled sharply, his mind racing.He needed to stay sharp. Every se

Lilian’s head throbbed as she slowly opened her eyes. A dull, relentless pain pulsed at the back of her skull, and her eyelids felt heavy, as if weighed down by exhaustion. Blinking a few times, she struggled to adjust to her surroundings. The dimly lit room had cracked concrete walls, unfinished and cold, with no windows in sight. The air smelled of damp cement and rusted metal, making her stomach churn.Panic rushed through her veins as her mind raced to piece everything together.Where am I?Then, like a sudden wave crashing over her, the memory hit her.The text message.A chilling sensation crawled up her spine as she remembered. The message had claimed that Matt had been kidnapped, urging her to leave the company and come here. It had seemed urgent—so real. And now, she was the one trapped.“You’re finally awake,” a deep, hardened voice broke through the silence.Lilian turned her head sharply, her body tensing. A man stood a few feet away, his bulky figure outlined in the dim l

Lilian looked around, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. She was surrounded by towering trees, their thick branches twisting overhead, blocking most of the sky. The forest stretched endlessly in every direction, a never-ending sea of green and brown. She had no idea where she was or which way would lead her to safety.Her pulse pounded in her ears as panic settled in. How had she ended up here? Just hours ago—or was it days?—she had been in a completely different place, far from this nightmare. But now, she was lost, alone, and running for her life.She took a hesitant step forward, then another. The dry leaves crunched beneath her feet, the sound too loud in the suffocating silence of the forest. Her heart clenched. She couldn’t stay in one place for too long. They were looking for her.Suddenly, voices broke through the quiet.Lilian froze.The sound came from her right, deep and sharp, carried by the still air. She barely had time to react before the words became clear.“If

Lilian was sure she had been shot.The force of the impact sent her crashing to the ground, her body frozen in shock. But as the pain she expected didn’t come, she slowly raised her head, her vision still spinning.Two of the men who had been chasing her were now writhing on the ground in pain.Her breath hitched. What just happened?“Lilian…”A weak, strained voice called her name from beside her.She turned her head, her pulse hammering.Her eyes widened in horror.Marcus.He lay just a few feet away, his face pale, his shirt soaked with blood. His right hand clutched his side, red seeping between his fingers.Lilian’s stomach twisted. “Marcus?” she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper.She scrambled toward him, hands shaking as she hovered over his body. The realization hit her like a punch to the chest.The shooter had meant to kill her. But Marcus had taken the bullet instead.Why?Her vision blurred. This didn’t make sense. Why would Marcus put himself in danger for her?“

Twenty-four hours later, Marcus finally woke up after the operation.His eyelids fluttered weakly before opening completely, adjusting to the bright hospital room. A dull ache spread through his body, reminding him of everything that had happened. His head felt heavy, but he forced himself to focus on his surroundings.The first thing he saw was Lilian sitting by his bedside, her hands clasped together as if she had been praying. When she noticed his eyes open, relief flooded her face.“Thank goodness,” she breathed, placing a hand over her chest as if to calm her racing heart.Marcus managed a small, tired smile. “Were you worried I wouldn’t wake up?” he asked, his voice hoarse from lack of use.Lilian met his gaze, hesitating for a moment before responding. “Yes… After all, you’re in this bed because of me. If things had gone differently, I would have been the one lying here instead.” Her voice softened, guilt laced through every word. “I feel horrible about it.”Marcus’ smile faded

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
