REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 010: Storm calms down
Guilt washed over Ivan the moment his eyes registered the patient gown Iris wore. He should never had ignored her calls and because of him she was in this state once again. His eyes meets with her doctor Dexter, they were always simmered with intense hatred but he never understood why. If it wasn't for Autumn, Iris would not have been here and he wouldn't have grown accustomed to seeing the doctor's face. "Leave us." Ivan ordered. The silence that followed was loud and clear. Ben and Dexter sought to stay but Sydney being the peace make convinced the two to give the couple alone time. Ben looked at his daughter, he doesn't know how long she would hold on to Ivan and he felt bad for her. He felt his wife's warm pat, hovering over her back. "They'll be fine, let's respect their wishes." Sydney reassured her husband who just gave up but Dexter took a while before he was successfully evacuated. The two were finally alone, Ivan searched for Iris face but she avoided his gaze. He walke
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 011: First choice
As Ivan relished Iris in bed, Autumn had witnessed her husband's love for Iris, the second time. She hated it but tears swarmed her eyes and clouded her vision. It was always Iris and never her. Her own parents even chose Iris without no second thinking, there was never a time she was the first choice. When was she finally going to be someone's first choice? She wiped her entire face, smearing the little makeup she had done. A handkerchief hang in the air, hovering across her face. Her eyes trail to the person pushing it towards her. A chill went down her spine, she has never confronted him since her previous life and she never thought she would see him so quickly. Memories of how he claimed her child was stillborn flooded there thoughts. He must have had a hand in killing her because of his affair with Iris. That meant he killed her unborn baby too. The thing that disgusted her the most was her father's younger step brother was having an affair with his niece, it made h
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 012: Leftovers
Derek Ashton didn't want anything to do with Autumn, he just said that he did because he wanted to piss off his nephew. For a long time He saw her as nothing but his nephew's puppet. She did what was told and never went against her husband disrespect. Everyone dragged her name to the mud any chance they got. Although he despises his nephew and the rest of his family, he could not help but feel bad for her. She was a mirror of his own past, no matter how much he tried to rid of such thoughts he could not extend the hate he had for his family to her.A smile spread on his lips as he watched Ivan hold on to Autumn tightly, Autumn looked visibly confused as Derek chuckles lightly."My apologies Ivan, I'm not trying to take your wife away from you." Derek paused glancing quickly at Autumn who's lips were a bit parted. He immediately averts his gaze back to his nephew. "But if you're this scared to lose your wife, maybe you should start focusing on her, she might just catch someone else's
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 013: You belong to me
Before anyone could react Autumn immediately takes her leave to the nearest exit. She didn't take note of Derek trailing behind her. When she was finally outside, she shortly glanced at Derek."Are you serious about divorcing Ivan?" Derek asked as Autumn nods."I am, but unfortunately I can't. My father in law would rather die than let us split. But in the meantime Ivan suggests we open our marriage so he can legally sleep with my sister as he wishes." Autumn mutters as if she was to cry but she couldn't, she didn't see the need to cry anymore for something so vain."An open marriage?" Derek echoes scratching below his chin."You think I'm pathetic don't you?" Autumn asked Derek who shakes his head."Of course not." He paused. "Will you be taking a lover for yourself then?" Derek asked which made Autumn a bit stunned."My husband refuses that I take one for myself, he believes I should perform my duties as a perfect wife. I can only endure such tribulations until the perfect time com
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 014: Dannel Dress
Autumn smeared her red lipstick to even on her lips. She made a bit of a touch up and dropped the lipstick on the wooden frame of the cabinet.Memories of how Ivan had slapped her a few days ago crossed her mind.She finally phoned Derek who was all well too excited to answer her calls like he'd been waiting for her. He didn't even give her time to say hello, he just called her name and all she could do was stutter a yes.He didn't want to talk to her on the phone and promised they would eventually meet in person and talk.Autumn hoped she won't be seeing him tonight. D.O.N corps was hosting a party for the employees and her husband had informed her to look pretty tonight. In his words he didn't want her to look as if he doesn't take care of her.He had already prepared her dress and jewelry beforehand and had it delivered to her at home since he was being held at work.Autumn took her time getting ready with the help of the maids in the house hold. Ever since Autumn was reborn she's
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 015: Victim
The car ride between Autumn and Derek was silent. Autumn bit her lips thinking hard on how to start a conversation with him. Maybe a little thank you for the dress would suffice but anytime she tried to open her mouth it was as if she was unable to vocalize her thoughts into words.Derek had noticed, he thought she must have been nervous and smirk to himself at her diffident demeanor.Autumn's phone rang, interrupting the tense atmosphere. She pulled out her phone to see Iris's name. It was odd; she never would have expected a call from Iris in a million years. It would have been more plausible if Ivan had called her. She watched the phone ring, her brows furrowed in confusion, as her pulse rose in fear, until the call finally went to voicemail.Derek's eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed Autumn's demeanor shift. "Your husband?" he asked, his voice low and curious. Autumn's gaze drifted back to him, her eyes clouding over as she shook her head. "It's my sister, Iris," she said, her
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 016: Strictly Buisness
Autumn turned to face him, her eyes narrowing as she finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind. "Why exactly are you doing this, Derek? What do you want in return for your help?" Her voice was laced with a hint of skepticism, as if she already knew the answer.Derek's expression turned calculating, his eyes glinting with a hint of ruthlessness. "When my ex-wife divorced me, she took 35% of my company away from me," he said, his voice dripping with resentment. "Ivan never signed a prenup, so if you're smart about it, you can take everything." The implication hung in the air like a challenge, and Autumn's eyes widened as she finally understood Derek's true motives.Of course, an Ashton wouldn't help her out of the goodness of their heart. They were notorious for their cunning and ruthlessness in business. "And I give you everything after," Autumn stated, her voice flat, as if she was merely acknowledging a fact.Derek nodded, his smile a thin, calculating line. "We
REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE 017: Can't you tell it's fake?
Autumn's hands shot out, pushing Dexter away from her, as she turned to face Iris. Her gaze lingered on the exquisite white gown, its delicate lace and intricate embroidery gleaming in the light. The dress, passed down from her grandmother before she died, was a treasured family heirloom, meant to be worn by Autumn on her wedding day and someday passed down to her own daughter. But now, it was draped on Iris's slender frame, its beauty diminished by the woman's tacky taste. Autumn's eyes narrowed, her rage simmering just below the surface. For Iris to have access to this gown, Ivan must have taken her to Autumn's own bedroom, rummaged through her closet, and offered her the dress like a twisted gift. The thought made Autumn's blood boil. "Who gave you that dress?" Autumn demanded, her voice low and even, her hands pointing accusingly at Iris. Iris feigned innocence, her eyes widening in mock confusion. "This dress?" she cooed, her high-pitched voice grating on Autumn's nerves like
