TAKE ME BACK EX WIFE CHAPTER SEVENTY
070 JOANA'S POV What the hell did I just witness? Peter meeting up with Anita? I wanted to know if those crazy hours of designing and work had ruined my eyesight but I wasn't wrong. Wasn't she supposed to be recovering from her accident? Who am I kidding? She was never in an accident, but she should at least try to make it seem like she was recovering. I scoffed at the heavy makeup she was wearing as they hugged each other and for some reason, Anita was smiling widely. Like they knew each other for a long time, I really wondered how long she was able to convince Caleb that she was a good girl. I picked up my phone and called Peter immediately. He picked up, “hello Pete, could you please pick up the kids after school today?” Anita kept touching his palms softly like they were dating or something but I couldn't see Peter's reaction. “I will, I'm currently meeting up with a friend, after the meet up, I'll head to pick the kids.” “Okay…” We ended the call and I pro

071JOANA'S POVThe room became eerie with silence, Clinton fuming with rage, Anita's face covered with tears, and Caleb relaxed, enjoying the show.Anita abruptly stood up, her nose flaring with anger, “you know what…” she glanced at me from the corner of her eye.“I don't care if you follow me or yell at me, but suspecting me is just insane,” her fake tone was completely filled with sadness; no one was siding with her.Her voice cracked, “I thought you were my brother, I thought you loved me,” her last words came in more like a whisper; her world-class acting was really perfect.Forcing her way out and staring deep into my eyes, I could venom all over her pupils."Non mi fermerò fino a quando non avrò ciò che mi appartiene.”Which translated to “I am not going to stop until I have what's mine” in Italian.A sly smirk grew on my face. Did she really think I didn't understand her? She turned about to leave."Buona fortuna nella tua ricerca! Ricorda che ciò che è tuo ti apparterrà senz

001JOANA’S POV“I am indeed pregnant…” I whispered to myself as I stared at the two bold lines on each of the seven pregnancy test strips lying on the table. I decided to take a test this morning after struggling with incessant bouts of nausea and dizzy spells for the past three days.My heart leaped with joy as I scanned each of the strips for the umpteenth time this morning to make sure that I was seeing right. And that I wasn't having one of those dreams again. I couldn't help but imagine my husband’s reaction when he got to know I was finally carrying a treasure for him. My husband, Clinton Gates is a third-generation billionaire and the sole heir of Gates Group. Although he has been cold and indifferent to me, I have been fighting hard every day to fully win his heart. Despite his coldness towards me, never for once have I thought of giving up on our family. My hope for a change has been soaring even higher now that I was carrying his child. I couldn't help but let out

002JOANA’S POV “I need you to sign these…” He growled in a low tone as he hurled a stack of documents that he was holding at me.The cold and disgusted expression on his face made me even more nervous than I already was. I didn't have a good feeling at all. “Divorce papers?” I screeched, my voice high-pitched and unpleasant even to my ears as I read the content of the document. My heart suddenly started beating erratically as I felt lightheaded, my vision turned blurry. The pounding headache I felt made me wonder if I was about to experience a heart attack. “Sign them and leave the rest of the official processes for me to handle. I already signed my part.” Clinton coldly preseed, folding his hands across his chest as he leaned unbothered again at the kitchen counter.“What's wrong with you? Why will you ask for a divorce today of all days?” I shouted, my voice breaking midway as I felt a sharp pain in my belly. He stepped closer, his deadly gaze boring into mine. “And what's s

003JOANA’S POV“Welcome madam.” The valet at the hotel entrance greeted me as I entered the premises. Today was the official banquet of the Gates Group. They were celebrating their new milestone. “Mrs Gates, congratulations. You indeed made the right choice. Your husband is full of surprises.” A woman who was trying to make small talk said, rushing to me with a glass of wine. Her words which were aimed at flattery landed like Thor's hammer on my chest, making me feel suffocated. And I couldn't blame her for being ironic since everyone else thought that Clinton and I were still the perfect couple. I forced an insincere smile to my face and made my way into the party with the woman following behind me, her face filled with flattery. Soon, another woman joined. “Ah! Mrs Gates, you're glowing. Your husband is taking good care of you. You keep getting more beautiful by the day.”“Of course, Mr Clinton loves his wife the most. Can't you see how in love they are?”“You must be so proud

004JOANA’S POVI caught sight of the bone of contention and pushed her aside, stomping towards him. “Clinton! You asked me to keep our divorce a secret while you already…” I didn't finish my words before I heard Louisa's soft yelp. My hand which was holding his arm, as I tried to turn Clinton around, slipped off, and wine splashed all over my body, same time I lost my footing and crashed to the floor.I blinked in shock; my surprise overshadowed the pain I felt at colliding with the hard floor. Clinton had caught Louisa and was fervently wiping off the little smudge of wine from her gown, totally ignoring me. “Clinton,” I whispered, my voice filled with pain and disbelief. “You bitch! You can't wait a day without causing trouble, is that it? Apologize to Louisa immediately!” Clinton growled, giving me a deadly stare. I caught sight of Louisa's smug smile and immediately realized what happened. She noticed that I wanted to confront Clinton about the things she told me and rushed

005SIX YEARS LATERJOANA’S POV“Mom, this is where you grew up?” My son, Japheth, asked, making me smile. After the drama with Clinton, I decided to open a fashion company with my family's support. To my greatest surprise, Caleb decided to help me, and even became my partner, even though he had his own companies to manage. In the early years of serendipity fashion, Caleb and I encountered dating rumors due to the fact that he was always with me. Some people accused me of dating my brother-in-law while playing the victim to make my ex-husband get bashed. The jealous Clinton who once came to make a scene at the studio made it even worse. So, we decided to move the head office abroad and finally returned today. The kids recognize Caleb as their dad since he's the one who has been there from the beginning.I felt someone pulling at my sleeves, making my attention return to the present. “Mom, what do you think?” I immediately felt confused because I had not been listening to them.

006 JOANA'S POV I felt cold, looking at the man in front of me. Ever since I was told that he was at this event, I have not been myself. " Come here." I took Mirabel from him. I was terrified that he was going to hurt her, and that was not what I wanted for my children. He stood there looking at it; there was a shock in his eyes, and then he turned around and looked at the place. " You are doing well for yourself," he said. It came out like he was shocked that I was doing well for myself, like he never expected me to be like this. " Of course," I said. It came out weak, I was trying so hard to control myself. I never wanted him to see me as someone weak, as someone who was going to go down on my knees for him. " And them?" He looked at my kids. " They are mine, and you have no business with them," I said. I was never going to let him have an opinion on my life. He looked at me for a while. " You should be more careful, or you get someone to

069JOANA'S POV“Caleb… do me a favour,” I asked softly, squeezing the paper and throwing it away.“What favour, and what was in that paper?” He tried to glance at my path, but I had already disposed of the paper.“I'll explain later, but can you move back into the family house,” I immediately held my seat belt when he abruptly stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road.“Are you nuts?!”“Someone could have gotten hurt!”I yelled at the top of my lungs, placing my hands on my chest to calm my thumping heart.I checked around to see if there were any drivers on the road because they would surely land curses at Caleb's sudden reckless act.“I'm meant to ask you that you want me to move back in. Why?”“Firstly, get back on the road. Otherwise, we're going to get a ticket for stopping in the middle of the road. Once we get to the office, I'll explain better.”Caleb mumbled under his breath, and we got back on the road. On our way, I got a text from Clinton.“I've dropped the kids at

068JOANA'S POVCaleb brought out his middle finger at me and went back to his room. It was fun seeing him and cute and all.I retreated back to the room when I saw Mirabel lying on the bed sleeping again, I knew it. Her brothers must have woken her up since the two were up.But Japheth and Jake were already in the bathroom, splashing water everywhere. It was an annoying habit of theirs to fully wake themselves up.“Do you want your punishment to increase…”*“You're going to fall if you keep running around like that…”The kids were exploring the house while we waited for breakfast until Jake ran into Gates Senior.I immediately ran to him, but before I could take him, Gates Senior already had him in his hands.Jake looked terrified, “good morning, sir,” he said calmly.“Good morning boy, running around like that, you were going to hurt yourself,” he said to him softly.“Good morning, sir,” I said, reaching to my son, “I apologize. My son was just enjoying the house so much that he di

067JOANA'S POVCaleb wasn't happy that I was toying with his brains. He had no idea what I was talking about.“If she didn't have the child, then she would be panicking, but she's awfully calm,” Caleb asked, genuinely confused.I chuckled softly, “That's her facade, something she had been building for a long time,” I let out a tired yawn.“I need to head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day in this house.”Caleb nodded softly, “Good night, have a good sleep.”Caleb slowly closed the door behind him. I slowly tucked myself, and a soft chuckle escaped my lips; Anita had been on top of this game for too long.It was time to make a triumphant return. Would I use my knight or play the games with my pawns?*I slowly flickered my eyes open, reaching out for my phone. It was barely 6am, I was hit with a terrible headache, and I needed some painkillers.Pushing Mirabel softly to the side, I made my way to the kitchen to make some warm lemon tea.I got closer to the kitchen when I heard

066JOANA'S POV“YOU SAID YOU HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY FEW SCRATCHES!!!”Clinton quickly pointed out, his face cold with no expression on his father.“I… I didn't get into a nasty accident, just a mild one, that's why I have a few scratches,” she defended herself calmly.“And you fainted for over an hour,” Clinton attacked her again.She was trying her best to stay calm, but Clinton wasn't going to let her.“Clinton… you need to calm down, we should thank the heavens that she is safe and didn't get into a nasty accident. You would have blamed yourself for life.”I reasoned with him calmly that Anita may be smart, but she should learn how to cover her trails properly.One thing I have learnt so far about Clinton was that he hated being deceived.“I'm sorry… it was just too much for me to handle. Truly, I would have hated myself if anything should happen to you.”Anita smiled softly, “It's fine…” She darted her gaze in my direction. It was stern and deadly but still held an innocent lo

065JOANA'S POVWe arrived at the hospital as the kids waited with Caleb and Clinton, and I went into the doctor's office.“Luckily, there's nothing wrong with Japheth. Everything seems to be okay. He's a strong boy.”The doctor smiled, passing the documents to me and Clinton, “Doc, are you sure? It took us some time for us to get him out of the ball pit.”“The pit was truly deep, but there were no pressures on him, so thankfully, there are no internal injuries.”I let out a sigh of relief as we headed back to meet the others. Clinton got a phone call and excused himself.We headed to the parking lot when Clinton rushed to me, “I'm sorry, I won't be able to drop you and the kids off; I have an emergency.”He bent to the size of the kids, “Hey guys, Daddy is really sorry, but I can't drop you guys off. I promise to take you to school tomorrow.”“Pinky promise,” they stretched out their pinky finger to their father, who smiled and snuck his bigger finger pecked their foreheads and left

064JOANA'S POV“Mirabel…”My mother instinct kicked in, and I rushed to the sound. Mirabel was seriously crying; then I noticed that Japheth was missing, and Jake was removing some balls while crying.“He pushed Japheth,” she pointed to a boy who was hiding behind his mother. A tall man pushed them behind him.“Stop accusing my boy,” he growled at my girl. Clinton rushed him, grabbing him by the collar.“If anything happens to my own boy, today would be the last day you would see life,” he threatened.Caleb managed to bring Japheth. He was struggling to breathe properly.“Why wasn't your kid under parent supervision?” The man tried to defend his child.“Since your child was under parental supervision, why didn't you stop him? Oh wait, he's a child of a bully.”The man wanted to punch him, but Clinton dodged, folding his hand behind his back.“The dog who barks the most can't bite,” he pushed him away, “who's the manager of this place? I want the camera footage of this place asap, or
TAKE ME BACK EX WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
063JOANA'S POVI sighed deeply, entering the car, Japheth and Jake still had a long face while Mirabel tried to make them smile.“Don't put on such a long face; see, we're finally in Daddy's car,” Mirabel tried her best to cheer them up.Clinton shook his head, sighing, starting up the engine, and heading to the ice cream parlour.“Japheth… Jake, cheer up, remember I promised you ice cream, so if you don't smile, I'm turning this car back home.”The boys slowly raised their heads, putting up a small weak smile. They were still devastated, but I wanted to teach them a lesson.Nothing should ever make them throw their fists no matter the age they were.“Those are not genuine smiles, okay, I'm turning the wheels,” he made a fake turn, and the boys quickly shook him.“We're smiling; don't go back on your promise,” I was about to scold them for their tantrums, but Clinton gave me a glare.“Alright… you win, ice cream here we come,” Clinton cheered loudly.I didn't like the fact that the k
