Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 43: Life is a Bitch
E L L EGiovanna arrived at my hotel room exactly one hour later, her girlfriend next to her.I was a mess, and the tears hadn't stopped pouring out.She didn't hesitate, to pull me into her arms, and hug me."What happened? I want you to tell me everything. Don't miss a single detail."I nodded and sat down, telling her everything that had occurred tonight.By the time, I'd finished, her mouth was wide open, and her girlfriend's eyes were filled with sympathy. "Who the hell would try to attack you? You don't even know anyone here," Giovanna asked."I don't know. But, it doesn't seem like, they were going to kidnap me. He was going to stab me, until Sebastian walked in. And I have an idea of the only person who hates me so much and is also in Bali as we currently speak.""Who is that?""My ex-husband's wife."Giovanna's eyes widened, "The same woman who was the reason why you divorced in the first place?"I nodded, "She has been threatening me for a while now, but I didn't take her se

E L L EThe following morning, we were on the road. We got to my apartment and quietly packed all my belongings and left. It was faster with the help of Gio and Avery and I handed back the keys to the house's realtor. It was a Sunday and most shops were closed, which made it difficult to get a new apartment.But, Giovanna was the one who made things happen, and before we knew it, we were in an apartment, which was a walking distance away from her and Avery's villa.It was a beautiful, modern, and spacious apartment, with a master bedroom, a huge bathroom, and a massive kitchen.Once we were settled in, Giovanna called her friend and explained the situation, and the next thing I knew, there was a bodyguard standing outside my door, watching my every move.I didn't mind it.Gio also introduced me to Jai. He was an Asian guy, with short black hair, and was very polite. He was also quite charming, and the smile he'd given me, didn't reach his eyes.I didn't know why, but there was someth

E L L EI deleted all the texts after taking a screenshot of each and decided not to tell Gio, since she was worried enough.I didn't want her to worry even more, and have me stay in a safe house or something, when she's already done so much.Besides, this was my problem.And, I will deal with it, like an adult.I didn't get to meet Giovanna and Avery later that evening, since they were busy with work.Instead, Jai dropped off dinner and said, they were sorry for the inconvenience, and that I should eat, before going to sleep.I thanked him, and he left.I spent the rest of the night reading a book and eating my dinner, before going to sleep.I groaned, rolling in the bed as I heard someone knocking on the front door. Seconds later, the door was opened by Jai obviously, and I heard footsteps approaching my bedroom.Giovanna and Avery were all dressed up and I was looking like a literal trashcan."Wake up, sleeping beauty. Get dressed. We're going out for lunch, then going for a much ne

E L L E"Don't fucking push me, Elle," he growled. "This is no longer a joke. This isn't a game. You could be sued for defamation, if you continue to throw accusations like this around, and I don't want to have to clean up another mess. Stop making things difficult for me, and tell me where you are, right now. If you think I'll just let you go, and not do anything about it, then you are wrong. Now, where the fuck are you?""What are you going to do, Sebastian? Huh? Focus on enjoying your time with your wife before your baby's arrival and leave me the hell alone. Do not force me to get a restraining order against you.""Don't play games, with me, Elle. Stop being a child and tell me where you are!""Fuck off. Goodbye, Sebastian." I spat, hanging up, and shoving the phone back into my pocket.I couldn't believe his nerve.How could someone be so arrogant, and cruel?And the worst part was, I wasn't even a stranger to him, but still he treated me like a total outsider.It made me wonder,

E L L EAs the car sped, I couldn't help but watch the beautiful scenery around me.Everything was perfect.There were mountains everywhere, and it was so peaceful.It was beautiful."We're almost there." Gio announced.I sat up straight, and stared outside the window, watching the cars parked at the side of the road, and the people walking with their family.Where were we?When the car slowed down, and pulled up in front of a large sign, I looked out the window, trying to read what it said."Welcome to... West Bali National Park."My mouth dropped open and my eyes widened, staring at Gio in shock."No way. Are we camping?" It was like finally living my childhood dreams. "Yeah. We have the whole day, and night here, so, we can do whatever you want. I booked the best spot. There are lots of food and drinks and snacks in the car trunk. I figured we'd spend our night, roasting marshmallows and having a bonfire, and then sleep. The park has amazing campsites, and the lake is stunning, es

E L L EThey were amazing, and I couldn't help but hope that they would always be in my life.But, I was also aware of the fact, that we live in the same city, but have different jobs and responsibilities, so, it's not easy to maintain friendships.So, I guess, the only thing, I could hope for, was that our friendship would remain strong, and nothing would come in between it."Let's get drunk, ladies." Gio announced, breaking me out of my thoughts.I looked up and watched as she grabbed the bottle of vodka, and a few bottles of juice, and placed them on the table."We're going to play a game called Never Have I Ever, and whoever loses has to drink."I groaned, and rubbed a hand down my face, "No way. I am not going to drink." I said, remembering my last horrible hangover. "Come on, Elle. It's not bad. It's going to be fun. Besides, if you don't lose, then you won't have to drink. Now, come on.""Fine. But, you owe me, after this. Big time.""Deal."Giovanna grabbed three cups and pour

E L L E"You both were caught fucking? Must have been embarrassing and hilarious." I said, laughing."That is an understatement. We were at Avery's place and her mother was supposed to be out, but apparently she has forgotten something which happened to be in Avery's room. And she found us having sex. And Avery is quite the screamer. Needless to say, it was an awkward situation." Gio said, smiling."Aw, poor you. Okay, my turn. Never have I ever, had phone sex." Avery announced, taking a sip from her cup.I laughed and drank my cup, "I can't believe we're actually doing this. It's kind of fun, and funny. Okay, I've got a good one. Never have I ever, had anal.""Fuck. Elle, you're so kinky. And, no. Never." Avery said.Giovanna shook her head, and sighed, "That was a hard pass. No thanks."I couldn't help but laugh, "That was pretty awesome. Alright, who's next?""I've got one. Never have I ever, masturbated on the bed, knowing that someone would soon come to join me."

She has always been the most beautiful girl I've ever met.And, that was what attracted me to her.Her beauty, and her personality."Why did you follow me, Gio?" Her voice was quiet and shaky and it broke my heart."Because I wanted to talk.""I don't want to hear any more excuses. I've heard enough.""Avery, you're being dramatic. Just listen.""Dramatic? Seriously? You just admitted to have used me, and now you're telling me, that I'm being dramatic?""I didn't mean it that way. I just meant that what you're doing is unnecessary."She turned around, and gave me a deadly look, her eyes burning with anger, "Fuck. You."I sighed, and approached her, "Listen, baby.

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
