TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 26. CAROLINE
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

MALCOLM"She's a fucking bitch and now everyone can see it too. She went there on purpose! That's Marilyn's favourite spot for lunch after school hours. She went there to try and manipulate my poor baby and you're not gonna do anything about it?" Louise rants came through the phone on my desk and I glanced at it and back at my computer where I had something more important to look into."Malcolm!" she screamed. "Are you even listening to me? I can hear you typing!"Jesus Christ! What the heck did this woman want from me? I simply called to make sure Marilyn was in the house safe and sound and that she wasn't being affected by the things on the news but somebody was gatekeeping my own daughter."Would you please give Marilyn the phone now?" I tried again. I was already having a massive headache and her attitude wasn't helping."No," she said firmly. "You're not going to speak to my daughter until you tell me how you'll address this issue-"I hung up."Fuck!" I glanced around my office,

CAROLINEIn a few minutes, Louise and her family were the least of my worries. News came from an unknown source that Malcolm was close to completing his proposal for Miss Patterson. All hands were suddenly on deck as everyone had to race against time and it dragged on for some couple of days thanks to my special uncle trying to make my life a living hell.His team and my team were under so much pressure for the project and he never hesitated to spite my work. He found fault everywhere and would throw it in my face so I ended up doing the same. It was a tug of war every time we settled down for a presentation, trying to know which team came up with the best proposal.At the end of the week, I was drained, tired and sick of him. I wanted to kick it all away and just end things by smashing his head on a wall somewhere.I knew he was trying to frustrate my efforts and it worked. We both knew that Patterson had the final say. She could end up picking Malcolm's project over ours but we wa

CAROLINE “Cancel my plans for the afternoon, Susan. I have somewhere important to be.” “Miss. Caroline, please don't do anything rash. Also, why are there photos of you leaving the restaurant with the Patterson siblings? Did you… you didn't try to-” I slowed down the car when I got closer to the security check at the big black gate. I could barely even peep inside. The two security guards walked out from their corner and approached my car with a doubting face, glancing at each other as they approached me. “Susan,” I gulped. “I'll call you back. Handle things while I'm away,” I hung up before she could say another word. I was nervous for some reasons. “Deep breaths, deep breaths, Caroline.” One knocked on my window and bent his knees to be on my eye level as I lowered the window. “Wrong way, Miss?” he asked, arching a brow. I looked at the gate and shook my head, “No, no I'm supposed to be here.” His black eyes were sharp and icy. It pricked my skin and goosebumps broke out all

Trigger warning.CAROLINEBe shameless.Have no fear.I played the words over and over as the elevator dinged. I smoothed my hand over my tennis skirt. It was too short in my opinion but it was already too late to get something different.According to them, the “game” was starting.Everyone was playing golf on the field and apparently, I had to participate in something. I couldn't just waltz in here and stay cooped up in my room even if I wanted that.“You're doing great,” Ethan whispered beside me yet his voice was full of humor. Apparently, these two were my personal… uhm… help. Emma had used the word “slave” without a care in this world but I didn't want to refer to them as that.They were human beings.“You'll learn,” was what she said when I opposed her reference to herself. Ethan mentioned to ignore her, she had a weird sense of humor.I folded my skirt in my fist as the elevator dinged and we stepped out. It was still bright outside and the weather seemed great for a sport but

MALCOLM“What do you mean by she's at the hotel?” I gripped the wheels and made the next turn. “How did she get in?” My heart drummed twice as much.How the heck did she get in? She wasn't supposed to find out about that place. I made a U-turn as quickly as I could.Louise and Marilyn would just have to wait for when I get back to scold their asses for what they've done.“Where's Ethan and Emma? I want them assigned to her, got it? No one else goes near her, do you understand that?”“Yes, sir. Are you on your way here?”“On high fucking speed, Britney.”It just had to be Patterson! That old bitch couldn't resist sending new souls to the devil's harem. It was a good thing it wasn't a weekend but then that didn't mean there wouldn't be anyone there to see her.“What the fuck are you getting yourself into, Caroline?”I imagined her clueless face filled with horror when she finally realized it wasn't just a normal hotel. There was a reason that the hotel was off the grid. It was the devil

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

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?
