Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 155: Deadbeat Mother
M I C H A E LLuna was in my arms as I watched Emory barge into the apartment from wherever she slept last night and walked into the bedroom, sparing me no glance. Pissed at her audacity, her uncaring manners towards her own child, her selfishness and narcissism.She's a terrible mother.The kind of woman I would have stayed away from, but she's Luna's mom.So, I had no choice but to accept her.The moment I walked into the bedroom, I saw her going from the closet, throwing her clothes into a suitcase, while mumbling angrily."What the fuck are you doing?"She turned around, glaring at me."Don't question me, Michael. I don't owe you shit."I raised my brow at her, surprised at her attitude. "You think you can come back from wherever you went and decide to pack your things and leave? Just like that?""Yes, just like that. I'm done living like this, pretending that my world hasn't just crumbled in front of me. And you know what, Michael, it's all your fault! All your fucking fault, Mic

E L L EIt's been a very hectic week, from being harassed by Sebastian almost all the time to the workload in my company.I didn't have the heart to complain about my company though, it has been an answered prayer. My business was standing on its feet, stronger than ever and generating loads of income.We were quickly gaining more and more investors who were interested in the company and that was a huge deal.We hired more people, expanding, and improving.I was proud of what we've become.But, it was tiring.I missed Mikhail a lot, and the few times he would pop in, was a breath of fresh air.But it was finally Friday, which means I get to spend my weekend with him. He asked me out to dinner tonight and after we would go back to his place.I haven't seen Giovanna in a few weeks because she was previously out of town with Avery for a mini staycation but, she's finally back and currently sitting on my bed, watching as I tried to pick out a perfect dress for my date with Mikhail."So, al

E L L EThe drive to the restaurant was a blur.I couldn't stop thinking about the many ways I could make tonight interesting.And it was obvious Mikhail couldn't either, his hands kept wandering up my thighs, his eyes fixed on the road.The tension in the car was intense, and I had a feeling he was holding back, his grip on the steering wheel tightening every once in a while.When we arrived, the valet was quick to open the door for us, and we were led inside the restaurant, which was packed.The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, and the ambience was warm.We were seated in a booth, and a waiter came by shortly after, pouring us some wine, and taking our order.After we placed our order, the waiter left, leaving us to have our alone time.Mikhail couldn't keep his eyes off me, and I couldn't either.He looked gorgeous, his hair slightly disheveled, his lips pulled into a small smile."You look absolutely ravishing tonight, baby. That dress, fuck. It should be illegal."I bit my lower

He muttered against my lips."Bed." I moaned, and he complied, leading me to the bed, pushing me down and climbing on top of me.His kisses became rougher and he trailed them down my neck, nibbling and sucking.He pulled my dress down, exposing the surprise I had for him.I wore a red, lace corset, paired with a thong and garters."Holy fuck." He breathed out, his eyes wide, lust filled."Like it?" I asked, smiling."Fuck. It's so sexy."He bent down, licking and biting the exposed flesh, and I moaned."Fuck. You're so hot. I love the way your tits look in this."His mouth found my nipples, his tongue swirling around them, the cold metal of his piercing creating a tingling sensation.He continued his trail, moving down until he reached my panty.He hooked his fingers into it and slowly dragged it down, hi

E M O R YI sat in the taxi that was driving me to my new apartment, feeling no regret for my actions. I wasn't caught up for that life.I didn't want a life with Michael, and I didn't regret leaving the baby with him. I was no good for her, I surely wasn't mentally and emotionally ready to become her mother, considering the circumstances after her birth.Her birth brought me nothing but bad luck and my life hasn't remained the same since her birth. I lost my body, I have surgery scars on my stomach, I lost Sebastian, and now I lost my company too.Things were just too hard for me to deal with.And the moment Michael said that I was selfish, it angered me. Because deep inside, I knew that he was right. That I was being selfish, thinking about myself and nothing else. Michael was only acting out his emotions, he was blindly in love with me, and doesn't want to accept that I would never see him that way anymore.He had nothing to offer me. Nothing at all. The past three weeks of living

E L L EI was sitting in front of the same men that turned their backs on me a couple of months ago.Seated in front of me were my shareholders, the same ones that didn't think twice to dump my company and take their shares at the verge of bankruptcy. The same company that was my life's blood for the last three years, and the same company I worked tirelessly for, to make it flourish and now, all those years were flushed down the toilet by the very people I had trusted and given my loyalty to.They were greedy and money hungry, running to the first big bidder without thinking of the hard work and sacrifice I had put into the business.I sat with a straight back in my chair, hands crossed in front of me with a blank face staring at them. The room was quiet, but the air was filled with tension.They refused to maintain eye contact with me, probably ashamed that they were back to the place they once called a sinking ship.My eyes shifted from one person to the next."Gentlemen, why don't

E L L EIt's Valentine's day today and Mikhail has either called nor texted.Not even a good morning.He didn't even return my text from last night and I was a bit disappointed. It was a Friday afternoon, and I was scrolling through social media, watching people celebrating their partners, gifting and taking selfies with their significant others.Even Giovanna and Avery were sharing pictures of them having a romantic time, and I was alone.Alone and sulking.My phone rang and my heart jumped in excitement, thinking Mikhail was finally calling, but to my dismay, it was my mom.Grumpily, I answered the call. My mother and I haven't spoken in a while, I could as well use this time to catch up with her."Hi, mom. Happy Valentine's day.""Hey, Elle. How are you doing, sweetie? You've refused to see your father and me. We were worried.""I'm sorry, mom. Work has been hectic, I didn't have the time to stop by.""Sweetheart, you work at an office. There's no way work is keeping you busy. Your

E L L EI looked at Mikhail as he slept soundly, his hands holding mine as if he was scared of losing me even in his sleep. I felt safe, protected, and loved.My love for him grew deeper and stronger, and I knew it wasn't something that could be taken lightly.We've been dating for five months, and every single day, he showed me that he truly loved and cherished me. It feels like I've known him forever and I wondered where he was all my life. He wasn't the type of guy who'd not only say sweet nothings, he was the kind of guy who'd show his love, prove his love.And, that was why I was falling deeper and deeper for him.The way he'd take care of me, shower me with gifts, and make sure I was comfortable and satisfied.The way he'd drop by the office and have lunch with me, bringing me my favorite meals.The way he'd make sure to check up on me after work, no matter how busy he was. It was a type of love I've never experienced before. Not while dating Sebastian, not even when I became h

E L L EBlood drained from my face as an excruciating pain hit the bottom of my belly, and blood rolled down my legs.My heart jumped in my chest as Mikhail flew to my side, and helped me off the bed."What's happening? I think something is wrong with the baby, Mikhail. I- I aah!" I screamed as the pain intensified, and I bent over, feeling lightheaded.Mikhail was talking to someone on the phone, and he was yelling, his voice panicked."Elle, love. Listen to me, okay. We have to go.""Where are we going?""To the hospital, love. We have to get you there. It's going to be okay.""O-o-k-kay," I managed to choke out.He picked me up, and carried me out of the house, and straight into the car.He strapped me in, and closed the door, getting in on the other side. He started the engine, and drove down the road."Is- is- the- the baby gonna be okay?" I said, watching the blood spread, and the pain increased."Yes, love. The baby is gonna be fine. Just hang in there, baby."I nodded, and clo

M I K H A I LAs the weeks flew by, we were getting closer and closer to Elle's due date. In two weeks time, she'd be entering the very last month of her pregnancy.And I've been angsty, Michael hasn't got much information on Emory, and we still have no idea where the threats were coming from, and what we were dealing with.Everything had been quiet, and there were no news. It was as if we had entered a state of limbo.A weird, calm, limbo.I wanted to be hopeful, but my gut was telling me that she was up to something, and whatever it was, wasn't good.And, I was right.Elle was at home, and safe, and I had decided to spend the day with her. She was in the kitchen, which I had frowned upon but she had insisted that she was craving 'Her' own food. She was making cookies, and I was watching her, and making sure she wasn't overdoing it.Her bump had gotten bigger, and she was looking more and more like a balloon.She was wearing a grey, oversized t-shirt, and black sweatpants, and her ha

G I O V A N N ASebastian left a couple of minutes ago, to go get ready for our flight tonight. I placed back and forth, tugging my hair in frustration.I should have known that allowing Laura go to Italy all on her own was a bad idea. But for some reason, she has insisted on nobody coming with her, which was quite suspicious, because everyone knows how much Laura hayes bring in Italy, because of the horrid memories it holds for her.Something was off, and I had no idea what it was.I could have insisted more on her to let Sebastian come with her, or maybe me. Or even, one of my trusted security men.But, she had refused, saying it was important that she was alone, and now, look what had happened.She was gone.With no trace of who had abducted her, and no single lead.I was losing my mind.I was worried sick, and had been calling non-stop, asking for updates, and I had none. Avery came up to me, stopping my movements. "Relax. You will find her."I groaned. "This is so frustrating. Th
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 234: Laura is Missing
S E B A S T I A NIt's been exactly twenty four hours of calling Laura's number non-stop, and no response.Something was wrong.Really, fucking, wrong.Laura had never missed a call from me, and especially since she had promised to keep communication open. I have dropped more than 300 missed calls, and several texts, yet no response.Where was she?The last text she had sent me was twenty six hours , telling me that the funeral was ongoing and she would facetime me when she gets back home. But, she didn't. Something was definitely wrong.My heart was pounding in my chest, and anxiety was slowly taking over. Where was she?I was having a really bad feeling about her, and I didn't know if I was worrying for nothing or my worries were indeed valid. Laura wouldn't intentionally ignore my calls, knowing I'm sick with worry.What if something happened to her?What if she was attacked?What if her father's funeral had taken a turn for the worse? What if someone was holding her captive?Or, w

L A U R AThe shot rang in my ears, and I watched in horror as blood spurted from Marco's mouth and his body slumped to the floor."What did you do?!" Bile rose in my throat as I watched the horrific sight in front of me, a cold shiver and a feeling of deja vu running through my body.I have seen Viktor take people's life like it was nothing too many times. He kills humans faster than he kills a mosquito. He has no compassion, no emotions, no remorse. He's a monster.If you think my father was horrible, Viktor is ten times worse than him. He's the devil incarnate."Why? Why did you do that? He was innocent.""What he deserved. No one, and I mean, no one, will ever defy me. If he can't do his job, he is useless. There's no use keeping a man who's a coward. I'll have to get another one who is not a pussy like Marco to get the job done, sí?"My mind ran fast, and I had to think of a way to convince him against this. "What's the point of allowing another man to touch what is yours? It's o

L A U R AI felt a pinch on my arm, and I snapped my head to the side, to watch Viktor piercing a needle in my arm."What the fuck are you doing?""This is going to help you relax. You're tense, and nervous, and I don't want you to make a scene. Not now. Not when we're so close to finally being together again. So, stop struggling, and enjoy the ride. You will get there, eventually."He injected the contents into my blood stream, and I watched him, and the man driving, as the world around me started spinning.And, the last thing I saw was Viktor's smiling face.A face that had haunted me every single day, and a face that was the last thing I had ever wanted to see again.It was a nightmare.I slumped on the seat, and blacked out."Wakey, wakey, sleeping beauty. Wake the fuck up. I've waited too long for this."I heard Viktor's voice, and I struggled to open my eyes. I blinked a few times, and the room came into focus.I was in a room, sitting in a chair, with my hands tied behind me, an

L A U R AToday is my father's funeral.I woke up, feeling a dar, gloomy cloud over my head. It was screaming danger. Something was about to happen. Something big. I could feel it.But, I didn't let my fear get the best of me. I got out of bed, walking into my bathroom to take a shower. As the warm water cascaded down my skin, I couldn't help but remember the first time Viktor took me, and he made me bleed."Viktor, please..." I cried, trying to pull my wrists free. He was holding them down, hovering over me, and spreading my legs with his own as he smiled sadistically. No single remorse in his eyes."No."He took me forcefully, my frail sixteen year old body unable to withstand the strength and power of a thirty two year old man.It felt like he was splitting me open. My eyes filled with tears, and I begged him to stop. And when I saw that I didn't have a choice, I begged him to go slowly that he was hurting me, I screamed for help, but he slapped a hand over my mouth, and shoved hi

L A U R AMy phone rang, as Sebastian's name appeared on the screen."Hey, baby." I smiled, and walked out onto the balcony, and sat on the chair."How are you doing, Laura? Are you holding up okay?""Yeah. I'm fine." I lied, and he sighed."I know you're not okay, baby. Please, tell me the truth."I knew i had to keep lying to him. For his own sake. He didn't deserve to be dragged into my Mafia world, full of hatred, chaos, violence, and danger. He was an innocent, and his only mistake was loving me."It's just the stress from the funeral arrangements. We're having a wake for my father, and then a burial in the family cemetery. And, there are a lot of preparations that need to be made. The board, and the family members have to attend, and we have to make sure everything is perfect.""Do you want me to come? I can take some time off work, and stay for a few days, and help you. Then we'd come back to America together. How does that sound?""It's alright, Seb. You don't have to come. I'
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 229: Psychopathic Monster
L A U R AThe next day, I was forced to go see my father's body at the morgue. Not really forced, but it's kind of like a family tradition where a child has to see and pray on the father's body, to send him off for an eternal rest in heaven.If only they knew that even my prayers wouldn't stop God's plans for that man. He was going to make him suffer and rot in hell with the devil, exactly where he belongs. He's a devil, and the devil's family.The coroner pulled the body out of the freezer, and I had to keep myself from retching, and rolling my eyes. He was so pale, and his skin was almost blue. He was wearing an oversized shirt, and his arms were folded on top of his stomach.Fabian held my arm, and I took a deep breath, and watched as the coroner pulled the cloth off his face.He was covered in scars, and stitches, and looked like a corpse.And, the moment I saw his face, I felt nothing.Nothing at all.My heart didn't sink, and tears didn't roll down my cheeks, and no regrets or r
