Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 61 The monstrous sexual desire
I drove straight to Ruby’s place. I couldn't relax until I cleared my mind of my doubts. If she really did something to Molly, I'll forget I ever promised to keep her safe.My face hardened as the car rolled into her house."Ruby," I call out to her as I walk in. I am surprised to find her drinking.Her eyes are red and puffy. Her face looked paler than before. She was still in her nightdress. Her untidy and exhausted appearance indicates she did not sleep well last night.‘Is she drinking overnight?’ I frown at her.I am relieved a little, thinking that she is not behind Molly’s disappearance.A woman who has just lost her child and is still in pain can never do something bad to another woman.She groggily looks up at me and smiles. "Lance. What a pleasant surprise! Come, come. Sit here and have a drink with me."She patted the sofa next to her.I sit down, my eyes fixated on her. The smell of booze is making me dizzy."Why are you drinking so much?" I cannot stop myself from asking

Molly’s POV…I regain consciousness gradually as I hear some murmurs. My head is heavy."Um…" I grimace and groan as I open my eyes with a squint and take a look around.Nothing is clearly visible. All I can see is a light over my head. I blink frequently, and my vision starts getting clearer and clearer. I become aware of the smell of tobacco and alcohol, which makes me sick to my stomach."Gag…" I retch.When I try to get up and rush to the bathroom, I realize I am tied to a chair. I cannot move my hands and feet. Panic hits me hard. My heart thumps in terror. Only at this moment do I remember the cab driver taking me to an unknown place and two men hopping in. I can't remember anything after that.It turns out that those people kidnapped me. Who are they? What do they want from me?I wriggle to free myself. I try to open my mouth and scream, but I cannot. My mouth is sealed."Mm…" I groan and try to pull my hands out of the rope.Click-Clack-Click-Clack…The sound of heels clacking

I am still in shock. Even though he is standing right in front of me, I cannot believe that he is actually helping Ruby. I thought he was a friend, but he teamed up with Ruby and kidnapped me."Why?" I mumble.Edward’s eyes dim for a moment. He soon averts his gaze and turns to Ruby, throwing her hand away. "We agreed to the condition that you would not hurt her," he says, his tone cold."Humph…" Ruby snorts. "She is making me upset. You should tell her that she cannot disrespect me.""You shouldn’t worry about her. I am here to take care of her. You should focus on your boyfriend. Get out now."Ruby chuckles. "I will go away. You don’t have to remind me." She glances at me. "I am not done with her yet."She walks out, her heels clacking on the floor.I shift my gaze to Edward, not caring about what Ruby is going to do with me. "I cannot believe that you are involved with Ruby’s nasty plans. Why did you kidnap me?""Calm down. I will not hurt you, okay? I will not let her hurt you eit

Molly’s POV…When I finally wake up, it is the next morning. I am not in that dimly lit, cold room. I am not tied to a chair either. Instead, I wake up in a warm bed.The mattress is soft, and the bedspread is clean white. The blanket covering me is fluffy and warm.I sit up slowly, taking in the surroundings. The room is lavishly decorated with expensive furnishings. I gradually start to realize that Edward has brought me with him to his house.What is he up to?My eyebrows furrow as I try to find the answer. At this moment, I find myself in a silk white robe. I immediately put my hand on my breastbone."Who changed my dress?" My face is turning pale, and I assume Edward has done something to me while I am unconscious."I changed your dress," says Edward as he comes in.I gasp and cringe at the far end of the bed.He chuckles as he comes over to me. "Don't let your mind run wild. I only changed your clothes. I didn’t do anything with you. I want my woman to respond to my touches. I d

Lance’s POV…I returned home in a bitter mood. The shame and guilt were draining my energy. My brain was jammed, and it stopped working. All I wanted to do was disappear somewhere.I don’t know how I will face my parents and grandma. I stand in the shower, allowing the cold water to run down my body. As I close my eyes, Molly’s face flashes across my mind.I miss her so badly.Molly is the woman I love, my wife, and the mother of my child. She is everything to me. Ruby can't keep her away from me for long.I will rescue her and bring her back home. This newfound hope boosts my confidence. First of all, I need to find where Molly is kept.I turn off the shower, wrap a towel around my waist, and exit the bathroom. I pick up the phone and dial a number."I need you to keep an eye on Ruby," I say as soon as the call logs in. "I need every single detail about her… where she goes, what she does, and whom she is meeting with… Give me hourly updates.""Sure, Mr. Stevens."I end the call and d

Molly’s POV…I am still locked in this room. A maid comes and delivers food from time to time. She also gives me my medications on time. But she rarely speaks to me, especially when I ask her to assist me. She pretends not to hear me.Thankfully, Edward has not come to see me these days. It is relieving. I don’t want to face him after hearing his words that day.He is a crazy man.I am becoming restless with each passing day. I wish I could just break down the door and flee. As I stand here next to the French window and stare out, I desperately want to be free.I feel suddenly emotional as I watch the birds flying freely. My eyes were pricked with tears. When will I be free from here?Lance must be worried about me. He must be looking for me everywhere. Can he ever be able to find out that I am trapped in Edward’s house?I become anxious as I assume that he may not be aware of it. There is a sense of emptiness inside me. I touch my throat agitatedly.How should I reach out to him? Sho
Last Updated : 2023-06-02Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 67 Sudden change in Edward
Later that evening…I have been lying quietly on the bed, stroking my baby bump. I cannot stop thinking about what happened this morning.Ruby looked so furious. She didn’t think twice to hit me. So much hostility is scary. I don’t know why she hates me so much.I don’t remember if I ever hurt her. Although I never liked her because of her closeness to Lance, I never did anything bad to her. I didn’t think of hurting her in my dreams.Her attitude and the hatred in her eyes compelled me to think about where I go wrong.Is it because I married Lance that she despises me so much? But didn't I leave three years ago? She had a chance to win him over. She had always been the one who clung to him. It wasn't my fault if she didn't win his heart. She shouldn't hold it against me."Huh…" I sigh deeply and mutter, "Who will tell her?"Creak…I sit up and turn to the door, only to see Edward coming in. I am not surprised, as I have been expecting his visit. But it happened too late.I expected h

Edward’s POV…I had not gone to see Molly since our last argument. I couldn't get Molly's words out of my head. After reflecting on it these days, I concluded that my feelings about that night were pure lust, not love.Molly was right. If I loved that woman, I would not have touched any other woman. Instead, I would have gone looking for her right away. But I lusted after every attractive girl that crossed my path and fucked them all.The most disturbing aspect was that someone was often coming and going into my mind these days.Daisy…I could not forget about our encounter in the backyard of the resort. Her painful eyes still piqued my interest. I wished I could get to know her. Something was there in her that pulled me towards her."Daisy…" My lips hooked slightly as I murmured the name. I gradually realized what I should do.I picked up the phone and dialed a number as I walked out of the office."Cancel all the meetings. I am going home." I ended the call and put the phone in my p

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
Reclaiming My Ex-Wife Chapter 91 Schooling Ruby
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
