TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 18. The Drink
CAROLINE "There you are," Susan rushed towards me with a worried look on her face as she searched my eyes. "Are you alright? Did you get lost?" "No," I got carried away and when I came to, I had to look in the mirror and make sure there was no shaken resolve showing on my face. I grabbed a drink from a waiter as soon as I stepped out of the guestroom. He was heading in Malcolm's direction. It seemed his drinking habits hadn't changed. That man could drink a whole bar down and still ask for more. It was an irritating behaviour that I tried my best to curb but it seems he snapped right back into it when I was gone. "Miss Patterson has been laughing and jollying all night," Susan said and stood by my side as I looked around for the woman. "She's going about giving everyone hope with that smile. Ha! She says "may the best man win." "It's fair game, Susan. We just need to do our best." my best wasn't going to be enough here. I'd need to do everything I can. Grandma had her eyes on tha

CAROLINE What followed next was a series of head banging on the wall, punches, teeth falling off and screams that made me second-guess their gender. Their ear-piercing scream almost deafened my ears. I had sagged to the floor when he grabbed the one kissing me and slammed him hard against the nearest wall and he had been going on for close to ten minutes now. His rage was unstoppable but concerning for me. I couldn't have a scandal to my name. Grandmother would never let me off easy. Where the heck was Susan? How long did it take to bring the car around? I tried to push myself up and with my hand on the wall I started to stagger out of there, not sparing a glance behind. Malcom's grunts and groans as he punched them over and over again filled me with fear but I didn't turn around. Before anyone would walk in and try to make a scene out of this, I'd be long gone and out of the picture. "Don't you ever put your hands on her again!" His voice vibrated through the halls. The door

CAROLINEI opened my eyes to a pounding headache and groaned at the bright lights. The ceiling was unfamiliar and the beeping sound in the room made me scowl.Someone turn that off!"Susan," I struggled to sit and heard footsteps rush towards me."Thank God you're awake!" she sobbed in between, grabbing my shoulders gently and helping me sit. She arranged the pillows behind my back."Water," my throat was dry like I just walked through a dessert. She handed me a glass and I drank quickly, almost choking."Take it easy. I was so worried."I looked around the private room, wondering how I got here. I couldn't remember anything after I stepped out into the hall trying to get away from Malcolm."What happened? My head feels so light. I feel like I skipped a huge chunk of my memory." I pushed my hair back and leaned against the pillows. "Where were you?""I am so sorry, Caroline. I couldn't get away from the guests. They all wanted to schedule a meeting and even after I explained that it w

CAROLINEThe door opened and I released a breath, squared my shoulders as she walked in. her eagle eyes scanned my face and my body as she walked in. The soft thud of her walking stick approaching closer and closer made me hold my breath."Welcome, grandmother-""Tsk tsk! Look what they've done to you," she sighed, shaking her head. Was that disappointment in her voice? She didn't look concerned about me one bit."I'm fine-""You better be," she narrowed her eyes, making me tense. "The public cannot smell your weakness. You'll resume work on Monday. They need to see that they cannot get rid of you.""Yes." I glanced at Susan who jerked immediately, developed two left feet as she seemed confused on how to walk out of the room. She hurried out, leaving grandmother and I alone. I hated the silence but dreaded her next words."That man…"Here it comes."How did he get his hands on you?"I explained the situation to where I remembered. "Susan couldn't leave so Mr. York asked her to meet us

MALCOLM"Don't stop touching me." Those words were my undoing. I thought I was doing a good job holding back and keeping my hands to myself but her cry face as she pressed her cheek into my palm went straight to my dormant cock.Even after all this time I was still attracted to her.I knew the inner workings of her body and a part of me was tempted to test it all out again.Did she still react the same way when her nipples were played with and sucked? Her neck nibbled on and softly bitten. Did she shiver and gasp from just tracing my hand down her spine?Fuck! How else would she know if she hadn't been with someone else?She moaned softly, grinding her hips to nothing. She pushed my hands lower and I stroked a finger over her soft bottom lip. Frustrated tears leaked from her eyes as she whispered, "Please…""Caroline," I cupped her cheek, memories of our time together playing back in my mind and a fond flame of unchained desire rose up in my chest."Mmm.""Fuck," I unfastened my seatb

CAROLINEI rolled my eyes with an exasperated sigh. What wa he getting at now? Miss me? After leaving a hickey on my neck, he sure had some explaining to do.The loud sound sure sounded like a gunshot. Marilyn had always been into video games and as the years rolled by, they only got more aggressive and loud. I believed it was her way of channeling her inner hatred-- for me and everyone else."Don't call me that."He chuckled and I could imagine the smirk on his face."Last night…""… nothing happened, Caroline."Oh, he already knew why I called. "I find that very hard to believe seeing as…" Susan was at one corner of the room mixing my tea, paying absolutely no mind to my conversation but I lowered my voice before saying, "You left something on my shoulder."He laughed richly, "Come on, Caroline. If something did happen, you’d know. Your body wouldn't forget so easily and so soon."He was not wrong but that did not make this conversation less embarrassing and annoying."In simple wor

MALCOLMI stared at the recent photo of Caroline leaving the hospital like she went in for a fashion show. She covered up nicely-- the turtle neck said it all. Smirking, I knocked on the window and my car door was pulled open.I should send her flowers for speedy recovery but knowing her, she'd send it right back with a little note of her own. At least I'll get a handwritten note-- if she's being nice. It would piss her off but I enjoyed the little human reactions I got instead of nothing.How could I interpret and get through to nothing?"Is Louise home?" I asked Caleb once he opened the door."Yes, sir. She arrived a few minutes ago," he reported."Her whereabouts?""Breakfast with her friends and some shopping.""Keep a closer eye on her and those friends. Her father's been really quiet these days and I don't like it," it was unlike him to let everyone run on the chess piece and refuse to take a step."Yes, sir."Speaking of the devil, she stepped out in a skin tight red dress, sho

MALCOLMI made myself comfortable on the floor and leaned against the door. I tossed my tie somewhere and drew my knees up as I waited patiently, listening to her sniffs and silent cries that made my heart tighten."Marilyn, just open the door," Louise groaned impatiently where she stood at a distance. "Fuck! I have a terrible headache.""Leave me alone!" came the voice. "Just go away and forget about me. I'll stay here and die. Maybe then you two won’t have a reason to make this family work anymore."That was the last thing I wanted. "Oh, baby, you know that's not true," Louise slurred, staggering to come closer. "I know your father is pissing us both off but he can-"My nostrils flared in anger, " Stop saying that. Now is not the time."Completely ignoring me, she continued, leaning against the door for assistance, "We're not getting a divorce nor is your father abandoning us for some other bitch-""Louise!" I scolded, shocked she would act so foolish and before our little girl."

TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 54. CAROLINE
CAROLINE I thought my confession was shocking until Malcolm blurted his after he finally learned to speak again. My hand was over my mouth with tears threatening to leak from my eyes. The annoyance swirling inside me moved like lava, burning my heart and heating up places I didn't even know could be angry. "Everything is in this flash," he handed it to me, trusting it in my hands. "I have friends that can take it up and with solid evidence, it'll all come crashing down--" "No, there's someone I trust to handle it. You should go be with Marylin, she needs you now more than ever," I forced a smile at him. "Where are you going?" Even I didn't know the answer to that question, I left quietly, getting in my car and driving far away. Every time I ended up at Susan's house, but I didn't go in. She texted me earlier that Alvin was with her at Tony's place so what was I doing here? The two were pretty close, it seemed. I stared at the drive in my hands, too afraid to play it, too afraid
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 53. Caroline
CAROLINE Malcolm stepped aside with Tony, leaving me to my thoughts. I still couldn't believe Kris was associated with the organization. But how? He was so innocent with a good heart. It was hard to believe but Malcolm had been so sure when he screamed in his face to shut it down. I wiped my lips one more time, disgust rolling through me. This wasn't the first time Kris was being a bit pushy with his feelings, but it was never more than a kiss. The only reason I got with Kris was because he came on to me as a friend first, before Grandma got scheming and wanted him as a son-in-law. It hurt me that he saw no problem with her plans and jumped right into it, trying to force me to go along with it. God! I was surrounded by selfish people. "Susan, I want you to take Alvin to your place for the night and do it before Kris gets home, now." "Okay, how's the young miss?" She asked, concerned. "They took Malcolm's blood for testing so we're waiting for the results," a doctor stepped out
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 52. Malcolm
Trigger warning!MALCOLM"Dad, please help me, I'm scared! Dad, help!" Marylin screamed through the phone, my heart bursting with fear."You hear that, Malcolm!" Louise's venomous voice followed. "If you wanna tear this family apart, then fine! I'll do it for you! I'll kill her and then kill myself!""Stop this madness, Louise! She's your daughter too!" I screamed into the phone, racing down the road at full speed. My heart pounded like an Earthquake, and rain poured from the sky."I know that and that's why I have the fucking right to end her life too! I can do whatever the fuck I want with her. She's my daughter, Malcolm. My child!""Louise, you sound crazy. Turn the car around and bring her back. We can talk about this."She scoffed bitterly, "Oh now you want to talk? Don't you wanna stick it in Caroline's pants? What's so great about her fucking pussy anyway? You're just a fucking man-whore, Malcolm! That's what you are. If you think you can humiliate me in front of my whole famil
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 51. Caroline
CAROLINEI knocked on her bedroom door, heart racing anxiously. I didn't know what I was going to say, but I hoped she'd at least give me the chance to speak."Can I come in?" I asked softly, pressing my ears against the door to hear--"Go away!"Right, of course. What was I expecting, a yes? Yeah, right. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, surprised it wasn't unlocked, and I walked into her beautiful bedroom with lavender air freshener in the air.She jerked up on her bed, her mascara dropping down her eyes as she glared at me."Oh dear!" I gasped, but swallowed my words. "Can we talk?""We have nothing to talk about. Leave my room. I don't want dad scolding me. It's his house anyways and just because he let you in, doesn't mean you can come here-""Marylin, oh God. What's all this about? You know your father wouldn't say that. He respects and loves you," I tried to come closer but one stare from her and I froze."You got what you wanted, Caroline. You ripped my family apart. Yo
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 50. Caroline
CAROLINE I snuck out of the hotel before Malcolm woke up. It was the best feeling waking up in his arms again. His steady breathing and gentle loving, the highlight of my night but I knew that wasn't my place just yet. I wasn't sure if it was ever going to be mine again. It took a lot to tear away from his side, but when I finally did I went straight to Kris's place. We were supposed to find a house together once he arrived. I snuck into the house, the calmness of the place causing my heart to pound. If I was lucky, Kris would still be in bed right now- "Where are you coming from?" “Jesus!” I yelped, heart pounding at being caught. I found him at the top of the stairs. His baby blue bathrobe hanging loose around his frame and a full glass of champagne in his hand. "It's too early for that--" I muttered, gesturing to the drink. "Dammit, Caroline! Don't try to change the topic. It's too early for this. This attitude-- where are you coming from and don't lie to me." He stormed dow
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 49. Malcolm
MALCOLMI barely focused on the moving picture on the big screen. The place was quiet, calm as I liked it, but there was nothing settling inside me.I had booked the whole room for myself, in hopes I'd enjoy the serenity of the place. Sitting alone in the far end of the room,. watching the big screen with a bored look on my face, I realized nothing could pull me from the depth of sadness.I barely paid attention to what was going on. Heck, I didn't even pick the movie, I just paid for whatever was on. The need to get away-- run away from the broken pieces of my life was overwhelming.A family.My phone vibrated for the umpteenth time and I glanced at it.Louise.She hadn't stopped calling since I walked out of dinner.What more did she want to hear or maybe she'd like to pull the victim card with Marylin?Sighing, my shoulders slumped with a weight. For once in my life, I wanted to make a decision while looking out for myself and not worrying about my daughter.If that made me a bad f
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 48. Caroline
CAROLINE"Everyone, I want you to meet my son, Alvin and my... My fiancé, Christopher Lennox."After that introduction, dinner passed by quietly.It was like I dropped a bomb on the table. Once in a while I felt their stares but I couldn't lift my head up. Didn't want to.Not when I knew I had just broken him. The last I looked at Malcolm was when I took my seat again and the shock -- Fuck. I couldn't handle it.The disappointment in his eyes, the look on his face, I saw he shattered to pieces and now my heart was shattering, beating in sync to every rhythm of heartbreak."Chew carefully, sweetheart," I took his glass of water and brought it to his lips. "Don't rush it--""So Christopher, can I call you that or do you prefer Kris?" Louise seized her opportunity."Since it's a family gathering, I think Christopher is alright.""Great. When are you and Caroline planning your wedding? I mean there's already a child in the picture, you wouldn't want to waste any time sealing the deal. And
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 47. Malcolm
MALCOLMWe pulled over at the restaurant and Louise kicked the door open, jumping out of the car as soon as it came to a stop. Marilyn had been quiet all through the ride. She was by my side and now she waited her turn to get down and once her mother was out of the way, she turned to me."A divorce, dad?" she said with strong eyes, folding her arms. "You'll end this all for a stupid--""Mind your language, Marilyn," I snapped at once, startling her. "I won't take that attitude."Her eyes burned with tears."Marilyn!" Louise barked outside and she quickly stepped out, using the same foul attitude her mother did."God! What is this?" I pinched my nose, shutting my eyes with a deep sigh. Now I knew I had to fix things and my daughter was one of them. I loved her too much to watch her slowly turn into her mother."Tony, what time did Caroline say she'll be here?"He turned to me from the front seat, "Five forty, sir. It's exactly five thirty, sir.I presumed she needed the extra ten minu
TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 46. Caroline
Caroline“When I said yes to this, I wasn't expecting a public place, Mal. What is this?” I looked around the bar, luckily there weren't too many people. It was a high end bar and we took the stairs, heading to the private room.What if anyone recognized me-- us, together? I looked at our joint hands, feeling uneasy all of a sudden. I tried to slowly pull my hand but he clutched it tighter, paused and snapped his head at me.“Don't even think about it.”My reflection in his orbs pulled a mushy feeling in my chest and I turned red as a tomato. “What are we doing here?” I whispered quietly.“I'm taking you to a private room.”“I'm not having sex with you,” I frowned.What if anyone recognized me… us, together?
