TAKE ME BACK, DEAR EX WIFE 10. Are you remarried
CAROLINE Tearing my eyes from Malcolm's angry face-- he's been getting real mad and unable to hide the hate he has for me-- I turn to my secretary and arch my brow at her. "I-I'm sorry, I tried to stop him," Susan stuttered with tears in her eyes. Poor thing! She must've been terrified when he barged in. Susan hates confrontations and anyone who tries to challenge authority. She hates standing up to people and is easily frightened but she's a damn good secretary nonetheless. "Caroline?" Kris calls through the phone and I suddenly remember I was still talking to him before this beast of a man barged in. I want to walk away when I see Malcolm reach for me from the corner of my eyes. I smack his hand off my arm and offer him a little smile. He's stunned by my reaction that he does nothing as I head to the table and end the call. "Ahem!" Mr. Williams cleared his throat, drawing my attention. "I'm sorry, can we please reschedule? I'd like to have a talk with you some other time when i

CAROLINEThe question hangs in the air and it's enough to wake me from his earlier spell where I thought he was almost sorry for what he did. An apology wasn't what I had expected from Malcolm.In fact, I never want him to apologise. That sorrowful look on his face shook me up so bad. Apparently, preparing mentally doesn't affect what happens in reality. There's a big difference.Just like how I thought facing him in my head would make me immune to seeing him in reality.I turn to Malcolm with curiosity heavy on mh features and I stare in silence. He repeats his question again and I just stare because I'm trying to piece my thoughts and analyse him.So he's not sorry? I can't place my finger on it. Is he asking because he's curious or because he would like to know if I really have my life together.After kicking me out like that, he must've thought that was the end of my life. I can't blame him, up until our divorce, Malcolm was the only one in my life. He was like a god, a helpmate a

CAROLINEMalcolm leaves without another word. I stand in the middle of my office even after he's shut the door and I wait for his steps to fade out. After about five minutes where I'm sure he can't barge right back in, my legs finally give out.I fall on my ass with one hand on the floor to support me up and the other on my chest as I huff and pant for air. My heart is pounding in my chest while I try my hardest to calm my nerves.The serious look in his eyes flash in my mind and I frown so heavily enough to give myself wrinkles. He had been so serious when he threw a marriage proposal in my face again. His guts and his audacity irks me enough to make me tremble.I push my hair back from my face and look around my space to the CCTV camera. I made a mental note to ask for the footage of today. I need that as my protection from him… for now. I can only hope he doesn't try anything else.But I already have a feeling that he will.What exactly does this man want with me? We ended things s

CAROLINE I step into the house mumbling my thanks to the guard who held the door open for me. The mansion is surrounded by guards at Grandmother's disposal. After what happened last night, I think I should get some for myself. It wouldn’t be so bad. I noticed most business tycoons have guards. Take Uncle Edward and Malcolm for example. Their guards never leave their side like they await an attack every minute. It'll be bothersome but I guess since it's for my safety, I should- "Grandma, you shouldn't wear black too often. It's bad omen," I snap my head to the direction of the voice and pause when I recognize it. I know we share the same Grandmother but what is she doing here? "Keep your talks of omen to yourself, Louise. I'm still wondering what you're looking for," Grandma replied with annoyance in her tone. "Last time I saw you here, you were still in your teens." "What can I say? I missed you-" "Cut the bullcrap!" Oh, that's harsh but I smirk at her attitude. She's just as

CAROLINE This space looks familiar. It's the hotel I used to work at a few years ago. The 'shabby' hotel as Malcolm's mother would always say. "You picked this one from a shabby hotel and think you can make her a wife? Over my dead body, Malcom!" I barely remember her words these days but tonight, all I can hear is Malcolm's sweet and gentle voice. The very first time we met, he didn't hesitate to throw me a smile to flatter me and catch my attention. The image lasts only for a fleeting moment before he's kissing me and picking me up in his arms. What was supposed to be a one-night stand, turned into several and I found myself drowning in his affection and looking forward to his weekly visits. The 'shabby' hotel became his home and his room, well… let's just say it was easy to get to work since I practically started living there. "Caroline," The softness of his voice next to my ears took my breath away and I sighed softly, feeling his hand caress my breasts like he did every mo

MALCOM"Fuck you, Malcom," Louise screamed in my face, hurling my laptop to the ground next to my feet. "You can't get rid of me! I know you've had your eyes on my grandmother's shares but this much to divorce me and hop to that bitch-""Keep your voice down! Marilyn can hear you!" I growled, wanting to grab her neck and squeeze the life out of her. I've put up with her bloody attitude for five years and I couldn't stand it anymore.I could only imagine Marilyn's face whenever she heard our fights. My little girl would look depressed and drained of life. I tried my best every day to avoid arguments but Louise was a psychopath who hated peace and quiet.It was even worse when I realised she enjoyed Marilyn listening to our fights. It was her way of trying to get me to 'behave'. She never passed up the opportunity to use my daughter-- no, our daughter against me!She was her daughter too and not a bloody weapon to stay in this sham of a marriage and some damn control over me."I'm done

CAROLINEI snatched my hand away the minute his cold lips touched them. Those black eyes darkened the minute he saw me and at first, I thought he would ignore and walk away.He smiled at once, ignoring my action and drew closer, invading my personal space and forgetting where we were.We already had one rumour going on around us and he wanted to feed them more?Not on my watch. I stepped away from him but Malcom held my wrist. "Where are you going? I want to dance.""Dance on your own or ask the other ladies," I replied coldly, trying to pull away from his tight grip but he didn't budge.He enjoyed me struggling like the psychopath that he was while I tried to appear like we were having a normal conversation."I see you've met Miss. Quinn," Miss. Patterson interrupted with a fond smile and I froze up having been caught."Yes, I have. Sadly, she'd rather be anywhere than with me."This sly old man! Why did I ever fall for him anyways? He made everything sound so sweet and sugary. That

CAROLINEMalcom's lips barely brushed against mine when I jolted like a spasm of current rushed through me and I threw a lunch across his jaw."Ow! What the fuck, Caroline!" he growled as he stepped away from the threat.I had frozen in shock with heated cheeks and wide eyes as I tried to process what just happened.My lips tingle from the brief touch and my knees almost went paralyzed from it. Other than the fact that my knuckles hurt like I punched a brick wall, I was pretty much brain dead at this point.Oh God! Why did I- he was coming onto me!how else was I supposed to react?"Shit!" Malcom flexed his jaw and he turned to glare at me. "Did you take karate lessons or what? Where the heck did you learn to throw a punch like that?"I shut, recovering from the shock, "Taekwondo. I-I learnt abroad.""Why? To beat the shit out of me?""What? No- I told you not to touch me!" I said in my defence as his eyes raked over me with a flirty look crossing his face for a moment.Well he was fin
