TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 21. Playing his cards right
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."

CAROLINE ‘There’s nothing like spending quality time with family after a long day at work.’ Louise posted and oh the blogs have been going crazy. ‘Strong and unbreakable,’ the press called them. A photo of Malcolm, Marilyn and Louise taking an evening stroll and a late night shopping was all over the Internet and in my face too. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled– ugh! Wasn't anyone interested in the country anymore? They looked happy in the photo. Marilyn was wearing her biggest smile sitting between Louise who was doing the same and her father who, well, wore a small smile with his eyes closed and a relaxed look on his face. He looked happy. They all did. What happened to divorcing her, huh? Didn't he promise he'd end it with her and chase after me? Was he giving up so fast? Where's the fun in that? He didn't make me plot against him for nothing, now did he? Just when I was starting to entertain the thought of using him for myself one way or the other. But what role would

CAROLINESusan came bursting into the room again and this time, she connected the board with her tab and grandmother’s face came up on the big screen.I stood on alert, lifted my chin and looked straight at her. The woman who now had everyone's attention.She had an obvious irritation on her face as she scanned the board of directors. When her eyes landed on me, they zeroed in, making my heart thump faster and faster.She said nothing and rolled over to her son– oh wait, since they weren't family in here, her business associate.Grandmother sighed and the temperature dropped once more. “How bold of all of you,” she began. “Plotting behind my back-”“Chairman–”“Do not interrupt me, Annalise. You sat there and enjoyed the show. And you Edward,”Uncle was biting his lower lip in annoyance, hiding his face from her. He finally looked up, wearing a grim expression that didn't in any way look genuine. He was only sorry he got caught.“Yes, mother.”I blinked, shocked at the familiarity he

CAROLINE It only took two hours before the Internet was blowing up again. Susan paced back and forth in my office as she stared at her tab.“No, no, no,” she chanted. “Just look at this! This is a disaster.” “Look at what? You won't let me look at the phone." she had confiscated my phone and my laptop. “You've been through a lot in one day,” she said. “You don't need to see any of these stupid things.” “Just hand it over, Susan,” I rolled my eyes from where I sat behind my desk. “I can handle my own mental health.” I believed. How bad could it be? She sighed and succumbed, handing over the tab. “Thank you,” I looked at the first headline and my jaw dropped, “Oh!”I scrolled and scrolled, each headline worse than the last. “Oh my–” “See?” She groaned. “Apparently a reporter caught her outside and decided to hang around, hoping he could get a free shot when he noticed us too. He caught the whole thing.” 'Mistress and Marilyn Collide: York Family Feud Takes Center Stage" 'Yor

TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 55. A Family
CAROLINEI returned home that night to an empty house. No Susan, no guards and no Alvin. At first, I thought they probably went for a walk until I dozed off and woke up the next morning to an empty house.The panic started. I called Susan a dozen times and when she finally picked up, I screamed, "Where the hell are you? Where's Alvin and why the heck didn't you return last night?" I've been crashing at her place for a week now, refusing to go back to Grandma's place.Edward was yet to do anything about it. He still grieved his daughter and hadn't shown his face to the public."Caroline, calm down, what are you talking about? You sent Marylin over last night to get him.""I what?" I grabbed my keys and dashed out of the house, jumping right into my car and driving down to his place. "How could you even-- ""What? You didn't send her?"Oh my God! I haven't seen Marylin since the accident. I figured she needed time to heal and last I heard-- from snooping around of course, she was in the
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
