Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 14 Unusual behavior
Molly’s POV…The Stevens couple always treats me very well, and Grandma adores me just like she adores Lance. When she requests me to spend the night here, I cannot turn her down.Lance's eyes show a hint of hesitation, but I ignore it. Maybe he is planning to go to Ruby. I don’t care anymore. I decided to stay here solely for Grandma's sake."I will stay here," I reassure her with a comforting smile. "Now, you should sleep. You have already exhausted yourself."Lance looks at me with wide eyes, as if he did not expect such a reaction from me.‘This is not for you, Lance. I will obey the elders of this family as long as I am in this marriage.’Grandma seems happy with my response. She, like an obedient child, closes her eyes to sleep.Lance left to attend to a phone call. But I stayed with her until she fell asleep.The housekeeper comes to call me for dinner. I follow him to the dining hall, where Lance and his parents await me.I give Mom and Dad a friendly smile as I take a seat ne

Molly is clinging to me, rubbing her nose and face against my chest.‘Shit, man... I am getting hot.’Molly is finally ready to consummate this marriage. I am so excited. I don’t know how to express my joy, so I hug her possessively.Every part of my body is radiating heat. I am no longer able to hold myself back, and I don’t want to. My lovely wife is seducing me. Why do I control myself?I will make love to her the whole night."Molly…" I lift her face, holding her chin between my thumb and index fingers.It is only at this point I notice how red her cheeks are. Sweat beads can be seen on her brow and the tip of her nose. Her lips are quivering.I am stunned, my smile fading.Her eyes are clouded with lust. This is not usual.‘Something is wrong with her.’All my excitement vanished right away."Molly, what happened to you? Did you eat or drink anything that you shouldn’t eat?""Mm…" She only moans in response and leans against my chest.I am stiff as a stick. I don’t know what to d

The next morning…Molly’s POV…I wake up with the feeling that something heavy is pressing down on me. I try to move but get obstructed by something hard, which makes me open my eyes. At this moment, I am speechless. My movements come to a sudden halt. However, my tummy is fluttering.‘Lance…’His arm is around my waist. He is sound asleep, his lips slightly parted.I can't take my eyes off him, and a few vague scenes from the night before flash through my mind. Heat creeps up her cheeks.I took the initiative to hug him and kiss him. I actually seduced him.My heart thumps loudly. I bite my lower lip. I want to hide somewhere... anywhere... where Lance won't be able to find me.‘Oh, my God! What have I done?’Is there a hole in this room through which I could crawl and never come out?Whether I find a hole or not, I will surely find a place to hide. I don’t want to face him... at least not today. I try to roll out of bed frantically, only to feel his grip around me tighten.My breath

Lance’s POV…I stretched my hand to find my lovely wife. It will be fun to watch her blushed cheeks. I intend to confess my feelings to her. I really want to know what she will say and how she is going to react.My hand only comes into contact with the cold bedsheet. When I open my eyes, I find myself alone on the bed."Where has she gone?" I wonder as I sit up, looking around the room.Assuming she went out to eat for breakfast. I also go down the hall after quickly freshening up. I don't see her anywhere... Not in the hall, not in the dining room. All I see is Dad leaving for work and Mom waving goodbye.'She is probably with Grandma,' I think as I enter my grandmother's room.A maid is taking her into the bathroom to bathe her. Molly is not here either.I frown and come out, wondering whether she has left."You are awake." My mom’s cheerful voice makes me look ahead."Good morning, mom." I greet her and hug her."Good morning, darling. How was your sleep?" She is smirking at me, an

I suck in the cold air, clasping my fingers. I am stunned at what I did. Shivers follow shivers down my spine. I am terrified, thinking he will take revenge on me.Squeezing my eyes, I press myself against the wall. I can't see his face, but I can imagine how enraged he will be. I am anticipating his retaliation.A few moments passed, and nothing happened as I expected. The silence is growing thicker, and my heart is trembling with fear. I'm afraid to open my eyes and look at him.After a while, I hear him mumble, "Sorry."I gasp again and open my eyes, only to see him walk out. My heart hurts even more. I slide down against the wall and hunch over my knees, tears streaming down my cheeks.Lance’s POV…I am angry and disappointed, not because Molly slapped me, but because of what I said. I can’t believe I said such humiliating words to my wife, my love. The resentment and jealousy completely clouded my thoughts, and I lost my rationality.I am ashamed of myself. I don’t know how to fa

Molly’s POV…Lance went out a few hours ago. He has not come back yet. He must be angry or distressed.I don’t know."Huh…" I sigh loudly. The surprising thing is that he has not taken out his rage on me. His apology is still ringing in my ears.Did he really regret what he had said?I couldn't get away from the fact that I slapped him. I pout and shifted my weight. My hunger has vanished, as has my sleep. For the past hour, I have been lying on the bed, wondering where he could go.‘Why is he not coming home?’ I have lost count of how many times I have asked myself this question.I considered phoning him several times but couldn’t bring myself to do so. He would simply get angrier with me.I sigh once more and mumble, "I’d better sleep now. Tomorrow is the first day at my new job. I cannot be late."I remind myself and close my eyes. However, Lance's face keeps flashing through my mind.The next day…Oh my God!I gasp, looking at the clock, which is reading 8:30 am. I was supposed to

Lance’s POV…I press Molly to my chest tightly, fury overcoming me. I have the impression that the walls are closing in on me. In my mind, I am growing bigger and bigger. If I don’t do anything right now, right at this moment to control my rage, I will explode and kill this man.My pulse is speeding up, and my breathing is becoming shallow.This cretin... He had the audacity to try to exploit Molly. I am not going to leave him tonight.I make Molly sit on a stool and pull the man up by his collar. I ball my fingers into a fist and drive them through his face, then into his stomach.Several people come forward to separate us. I am still angry."Let go of me," I yell. "He dares to touch my wife. I will break his hands." I am desperately trying to set myself free.Their grips around my arms, chest, and waist are growing tighter. They are pulling me back while I am trying to move forward. They are telling me something, and I don’t get a fucking word of what they are saying. My full focus

My mouth is falling open. I blink slowly.‘Did she say she loved me?’ I find myself wondering this in my head.I believe this is a dream. Or the rising hormones muddle my brain, and I start hearing things. But the speeding heartbeat seems so real."Come again," I mumble. I want to hear her say that again. "Wait a minute." I quickly take out my phone and press the voice recording button. This will serve as proof that I am not dreaming."Say it again," I demand."What?""The thing you said just now. That you love me." I put the phone in front of her.She pushes my hand away and the phone drops on the bed. "You are a jerk," she yells. "You find it funny! Are you mocking me? Yes, I loved you. I was running after you, offering my heart. But you never noticed me. You always disregarded me and chose Ruby. All you want is Ruby, Ruby, Ruby…"She stops yelling, then tears begin to collect in her eyes. She sniffs as she says, "I married you, assuming you would start loving me. But you never paid

Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 92 The finale
I am somewhat taken aback as I notice the quick change in her expression. Then I realize her distress is because of what Edward did to me."Look, I have nothing against Edward." I hurriedly try to explain. "What he did is undoubtedly wrong. But it is also true that he kept me safe from Ruby’s torture. He had some misunderstandings. The moment he realized his mistakes, he released me. So, don’t be sad. Okay?"Daisy has a bitter smile on her face. Honestly, that smile doesn’t look good on her. If I had not been injured, I would have held her hands and comforted her.I can only say, "He is not perfect. But he is not bad either.""I know," I hear her say when I am about to say more. "I know him well. I am not sad because of him. Basically, it was not his fault. He was only looking for the woman he had a crazy one-night stand with. It was me who was trying to hide from him. It was I who remained silent when I realized he had mistaken you for me. I could have told you everything, but I didn

Lance’s POV…My hands are itching to strangle her to death. But I don’t have time now. I need to stay with Molly. I will deal with this bitch later, and I swear, I will teach her a good lesson."Take her to the dungeon," I command. "Make sure you will treat her well."Treating her well entails not allowing her to sit quietly, and the guards understand exactly what I mean.I turn to leave."Lance…"I pause at the doorstep and look back at her."Don’t be so cruel. It is me, Ruby. I love you, Lance. Whatever I did was for you. All I want is to be with you. Please, don’t let them take me away. Consider the time we spent together. You like me. Didn't you say you would always look after me? Didn’t you say you would be grateful to me forever for saving your life? You cannot forget your promises. Please, Lance. I beg you. Take me back. I swear, I will not hurt Molly."I glare at her. I can see right through her mind. How pretentious she is. She is capable of outperforming Oskar-winning actres
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 90 Desperate attempts to escape
I dodge the attack and turn swiftly aside, pushing her away.Ruby stumbles, the knife slipping out of her grip.Before she can get on her feet, I pick up the stool and throw it at her. The stool collides with her back as she attempts to stand up.I don’t have time to check if she is able to stand up or pick up the knife. I turn around and flee to the door. It is shocking that I cannot open the door. I twist the knob again and again, but I can’t unlock it.What the hell is going on? Did the lock get jammed?I still try to unlock the door, twisting the knob repeatedly."Hahaha…" Ruby’s laughter resonates inside the room.I freeze and turn to face her."Oh, Molly… you are too naïve," she says between the laughs. "Do you think I am also stupid like you?" She gets to her feet, her expression darkening. "I won’t come here without preparation, risking my life. I have been waiting for this day to meet you again face-to-face. And it is the best day to kill you on your wedding day."She bends a
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 89 Ruby has shown up
A month later…Molly’s POV…This is our wedding day. It is a grand wedding that any woman will dream of. The hall, which is decorated with various flowers, is packed with guests. The media is also present.I have a feeling that I have suddenly become a celebrity. My wedding gown is designed by a well-known designer. It looks so pretty.It is a strapless ball gown that fits snugly around my breasts and widens from the waist, hiding my slightly protruding belly.After holding my hair in a messy bun, the makeup artist completes my makeover.I check myself in the mirror and smile shyly."You are glowing," the makeup artist says. "Mr. Stevens will not be able to look away from you today."I blush to hear her compliment."My bestie is the prettiest one," Daisy chimes in as she walks into the powder room. She inspects me, holding my shoulders. "You look gorgeous. Your and Lance’s photos are going to make headlines tomorrow.""Has the groom arrived?" The makeup artist asks, beaming with a smi

Lance returns after some time. I am relieved to see his wound is properly bandaged."We are heading to the restaurant for dinner," says Edward. "Are you coming?""No." Lance denies his offer, his gaze lingering on me. "I will ask the room service to deliver the food here.""As you see fit. Shall we go?" Edward nods at Daisy.Daisy hugs me and whispers in my ear, "Enjoy your meal with your husband, and let me enjoy my boyfriend’s company."I smile in response.They walk out. Now, I and Lance are alone in the room. We continue to stare at each other silently.Lance has told me many things today. He has been honest with me. He has cleared many doubts in my mind. I now know that he genuinely loves me. I also understood why he always took care of Ruby.He was only trying to repay her favor.Favor?I am still perplexed as to when Ruby saved him and how. I cannot help but say, "I’d like to know how she saved you.""I will tell you everything." Lance holds my hand and takes me to the bed. "It

Lance’s POV…My heart aches when I recall Molly’s sad look that evening. I was confused and apprehensive at the time and couldn’t reveal it to her. I wanted some time to think about it before concluding anything. So, I didn’t tell Molly anything about it when she asked me.That was another mistake I had made. However, I don’t want to repeat the mistake, so I decide to disclose everything to her."The doctors said that there were some complications in her pregnancy, and the fetus was weak. He recommended bed rest. Ruby often called me while I was at work and cried a lot, saying she feared her baby would suffer from cancer just like she did. I pitied her and used to go to her to console her."I pause when I notice her suspicious look. I know exactly what she is thinking. I clasp her hands. "Believe me, I only intended to console her. I owe her this life. She saved me once.""She saved you!" she exclaims, a look of disbelief spreading across her face.I nod. "Yes. I am taking care of her
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 86 His explanation
I cannot stop crying. I feel so guilty.Out of anger, I came so far away and put myself in danger. Because of me, Lance got hurt. I shouldn’t have acted impulsively. I could have stayed at the resort and questioned him."Sorry." I apologize to him again."Stop crying," he consoles me. "Listen up. The rain is getting heavy. We need to take shelter somewhere."I don’t know how far the village is from here. Since it is getting dark and raining, nothing is clearly visible. Furthermore, I don’t know how the people will be. As I look down at the three people lying motionless on the ground, I cannot help but shudder.I don’t want to put my trust in the villagers. I’d better head to the next bus stop."There…" Lance pointed to the right. "I can see a building there. Let’s go."I also spot a building-like structure in that direction. But I am reluctant to go there. I tug on his wrist and stop him."I'm not sure what danger lurks there. What if we come across more goons like these?" I nodded to
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 85 Lance rescuing Molly
Molly’s POV…I am so lost in my thoughts that I don't realize all of the passengers have left. The driver asks me to get down since it is the last stop.I hesitantly get off the bus and take a look around. The area is deserted and looks scary. I don’t know where to go. At this moment, I regret acting recklessly. I shouldn’t have come so far away from the resort.It is started drizzling now. I have to get to the bus stop shed quickly. I take my phone from my purse, thinking to call Daisy."Oh!"I am stunned and disappointed at the same time when I see no signal on the phone.I dejectedly sit down on the bench and look at the road dazedly, hoping the next bus will come soon.Maybe a taxi.I remember Lance running after the bus. I wonder if he is still looking for me."Will he come here looking for me?" I murmur in a trance."Are you waiting for the bus?"I almost jump when I hear a husky voice.Three men are coming toward me, smiling vilely.I immediately know I am in danger. I stand up

"Molly, you are getting it wrong," he says. His nervousness is clear in his demeanor.Why is he so nervous if he has done nothing wrong? What is he trying to hide?I scowl at him suspiciously."Yes, she was here. Believe me, I didn’t call her. She came here on her own." He comes in closer and holds my hands."And you met her secretly," I add, my heart tearing apart.He hangs his head down and nods slowly."Why?" I snarl, withdrawing my hands. My fingers are shaking in rage. My insides are clenching in agony. I get emotional, and I cannot say a word.All the bitter memories from the past rush into my mind, making me feel that he can never forget Ruby. He always preferred her and rushed to her whenever she called him. I am sure he might have done the same thing."I met her because she was depressed. She was…""Depressed?" I scoff before he can finish speaking. "She is always depressed… pitiful. You always go to her. Why, Lance? If she needed you, I wouldn't have stopped you from going t
