Pursuing My EX Wife Ten
Completely exhausted, Marcus finally got home. He was surprised to see Lily there; he thought he would have some alone time after the big fight, and he was not really in the mood for another one again."Why are you here?" Marcus frowned."I just want to apologize for earlier in the office. I'm so sorry. " Lily sounded pitiful with teary eyes as she stood up and walked towards him.“What happened?” Lily immediately noticed the hurt and bruises on his face. She tried to touch his face, but Marcus dodged her.After Lilian slapped him, Moses also punched him, and it turned into a fight between Marcus and Moses, ending with Marcus's friends and the security stopping them. It wasn't that bad since Moses didn't look any better than Marcus.“Nothing happened. It's just an accident.” Marcus answered with a straight face.Lily looked at him suspiciously; she felt it was weird, and it didn't seem like an accident.“What are you doing here?” Marcus changed the subject."You know, I always want to

Lily never expected to see that woman again in her life.Was Lilian back for Marcus? Did Lilian just challenge her to win Marcus back?Her mind was filled with all the possibilities. Lily didn't know why she panicked but she calmed herself for Marcus had chosen her over Lilian before and he would keep choosing her definitely."Is there anything wrong?" Favour looked at Lily worriedly, noticing Lily's expression was a bit off ever since Lily emerged from the washroom."I'm ok." Lily forced a smile but her face was pale as if she just went through something horrible."Come on, it's me. You can tell me anything." Favour insisted, looking Lily in the eyes."Well, I just saw Marcus's ex in the restroom."Lily bited her lower lip a little like she didn't know quite how to say that but she told Favour anyway.“Did she do something to you? Where is she?” Favour asked Lily angrily.Lily looked innocent, she shook her head as she didn't want to cause any trouble, but she glanced at Lilian's dire

Favour grabbed the invitation card rudely from Lilian's hand with her face changed and checked the card thoroughly.Lilian's invitation card was similar to the invitation card Favour got. They had the same format with the same fancy lettering but they were different in details, the most obvious thing was the colour difference.Favour was relieved with a mocking smile while she casually put the invitation card on the security's hand and stated.“It’s a fake invitation card.”The people also started whispering immediately.“She really used a fake invitation card to get in here?” “She is really bold, what is her aim and purpose for coming?”“Who knows? Maybe she's a gold digger?”Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief but she acted like surprised that she never thought Lilian would do that."I believed you. How could you fake the invitation? If you really want to come to the party, you could always come to me and Marcus for help." Lily said in frustration but she smiled to Lilian secret

A stunned look on Clara's face as the man's imposing figure emerged from the crowd.“Hello, Mr. Stephan. Is there anything wrong?" Clara put on a smile. Clara didn't expect it would draw Mr. Stephan's awareness. Mr. Stephan was not the kind of person who would get into things like this. So what brought him here now? Clara refused to think about the worst possible scenario."She’s with me." The man's chin pointed in Lilian's direction slightly and a simple statement of his was powerful enough.Clara's biggest fear came true."I'm truly sorry, Mr. Stephan. I don't know that. This must be a misunderstanding." Clara apologized right the second and her face grew pale with great anxiety.The Stephan family was a low-key family which meant it was extremely hard to make a connection with them. Clara's father put in so much effort and prepared a lot to finally have a tiny possibility. The Stephan family was the only reason the whole party existed. Her father would kill her if Clara was the on

“Sorry, I just lost my footing and did not stand still,” Lily's lips curled into a strained smile as she stood up straight, her shoulders squaring, and her eyes wandering in embarrassment. Lilian revealed a hint of disdain in her eyes. She knew exactly what happened, another textbook example of Lily's little tricks, trying to escape and also frame her again, two birds with one stone.If Lily still thought she was the same person Lily could make a fool of, then she was wrong. The old Lilian had died and she was not naive anymore.“It seems you are the one here with no invitation card tho,” Lilian scoffed, she would not let Lily get away easily this time.Lily was shaking in pressure and her breath caught in her throat when she saw everyone whispering and pointing at her.How could she be the one down in the confrontation with Lilian? From when things started to out of her control exactly? What could she do to save it now?Lily's hands fluttered involuntarily and her eyes blinked faste

“I’m so sorry for all the troubles that happened.” Lily's apology spilled out a rush of sincerity and regret the second they got in the car. Her voice trembled when facing Marcus, the dim car interior accentuating the vulnerability etched on her face.Marcus's silence hung heavy, fixed his gaze on the road ahead with his jaw clenched in restraint, punctuated only by the soft hum of the car engine.“I didn’t mean to disturb her, I thought we could be friends but it seems like Lilian still thinks worse of me.” Lily's voice tinged with frustration.Marcus did not pay much attention to what Lily was saying, he was still distraught by everything about Lilian. Why did Lilian come back at this point? Where was she all these years? What was she doing with that man? Why they were so close?There were still a lot of open questions about her on his mind and he couldn't figure out."Have you always been kept in touch with Lilian?" Lily's question drew him back to reality suddenly.Her voice trem

As Lily and Marcus made their way back to the party, they sat down close to each other this time. “I have talked to my business partner, he will take us to meet him later” Marcus told Lily.Lily nodded her head, she was immediately happy when Marcus said this. “Thank you” She smiled.Marcus nodded his head.Soon his business partner approached them. “Moses have agreed to let you meet” He said.“Thank you” Marcus thanked him.“Thank you so much” Lily thanked him with a smile on her face.“It is fine” His business partner said to her before walking away.After a while, Marcus' business partner came to where they were. “He said he is ready to meet you now” He said to him.They both stood up and followed him into one of the rooms.The business partner opened the door, and walked in. Marcus and Lily followed him behind.Lily was taken aback when she spotted Lilian. She had assumed this meeting was purely business-what was a mistress doing here? A familiar frustration bubbled beneath the s

Lilian's brow furrowed, her lips pressing into a thin line. She crossed her arms tightly, her gaze narrowing as she turned away, trying to mask the frustration bubbling inside her. “Who told you that?” She asked him.Matt shrugged. “Nobody I just thought you two will look so compatible that is all” He said with a smile on his face. He looked at Lilian and saw that she was a bit angry. Matt blinked his eyes. “Did I say anything wrong?” He asked her.Lilian shook her head, “No it is not your fault” She answered.“I will tell grandpa then when he calls” Matt said smiling happily.“Matt” Lilian called in a serious tone.“That man is already engaged with someone else and they are planning to get married soon. So you don’t want to ruin the engagement right?” Lilian asked him gently.Matt's brow furrowed, disappointment flickering in his eyes. With a reluctant nod, he acquiesced, knowing he had no choice.“Good boy,” Lilian said with a smile on her face. “Come let’s go and give you a hot sh

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

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?“

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’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

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

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

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

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.

The news about Marcus being seen with a child spread quickly, and soon, Mrs. Thompson heard about it. She was in the kitchen when one of her friends called, excitedly telling her about how her son had been spotted with a little boy at his office.Mrs. Thompson’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you sure about this?” she asked, gripping the phone tightly.“Of course, I am. My niece works at Marcus’s office, and she saw them together. She said they looked alike.”Mrs. Thompson’s heart skipped a beat. If this was true, then it could only mean one thing—Matt had finally met his father.Without wasting another second, she wiped her hands on a kitchen towel and hurried to her room to get her phone. Her fingers shook slightly as she dialed Marcus’s number.The phone rang twice before he picked up.“Hello?”“Mom,” Marcus greeted.“Where are you?” Mrs. Thompson asked without wasting time.“I’m at work. What’s wrong?” Marcus asked, leaning back in his chair.“Is it true?”“Is what true?”“That my gr
