TAKE ME BACK EX WIFE CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
035 JOANA'S POV After making a dozen cream pies, I retreated to sleep. My kids really wore me out, but it was worth every second. The next day was Sunday, a relaxing day for me, but I had to fix an impromptu meeting with the wedding dress designer. The client was so elated about my recovery that he even made time to visit me. “Hello… is the Là Pierre's Wedding room…” “This is Miss. Joana, on the phone, the jewellery designer in charge of Mr. Jean Claude's project, I would like to shift the meeting to 10 am. I have an appointment with my doctor.” “Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you very much.” I ended the call and had no idea when I drifted into the dream world. * The appointments with the doctor went smoothly. They removed the stitches on my waist and did a thorough CT scan. It was clearly a miracle to them how I had completely recovered within a span of a week. I drove to the designated place to meet with the designer. “Good day, Miss Jo

036 JOANA'S POV “It's all your fault, you monster,” I heard a familiar voice; I turned to face Louisa head-on. Her face had anger written all over it. She was infuriated. I sighed softly, “What do you want now?” I really had no strength to continue any conversation with her. Caleb had to return back into the office to get a few things, and now I had to deal with this woman. “Why did you have to return? If you hadn't returned, Clinton wouldn't be having such a hard time.” “When would you stop blaming me for your incompetence? I left for six years, and you could not bring him closer to you, oh wait…” I went closer to her, “you needed me to be close so you could continue to feed his mind with lies. Since I was gone, you couldn't.” A growing smirk made me feel perfect, I made her knees wobble. She stood tall and firm with a mad grin on her face, “I heard you were in a terrible accident, and now your office was vandalized, I guess I'm not the only one that wan

037 JOANA'S POV “What have I done?” I tapped my lips softly, wondering why I had accepted Caleb's proposal. ‘Let's get married…’ I squealed at the words that came out of my mouth. I know that Caleb was just trying to protect me and my children, but I honestly don't know the next step. Why was I being worked up? I can't still possibly be in love with Clinton. No, it was just a thought. Then why couldn't I kiss Caleb back, I was meant to move on to completely forget about the man that made my life a living hell, but here I was, still thinking about him. The soft ding on my phone brought my attention to the table stand. I walked closer to the phone. It was a message from Caleb, I contemplated if I should open it. After thinking about it for a while, I touched the screen, and the message opened. “Hey…” “I am still apologizing for my unruly behaviour this evening; I still don't know what came over m., I understand the reason you don't want to investigate fu

038 JOANA'S POV “Clinton!!!” I yelled angrily, making all heads turn in my direction. “What?” He turned his face to my side with a grin plastered on his face, “Are you not going to let him know the truth?” I fumbled with the hem of my dress as I noticed Caleb's knuckles turn white. Clinton relaxed onto his chair, “I just want my dear brother to know that no matter how many times he tries, he will never be in your heart.” I hated the fact that Clinton was right; I loved Caleb, but not in the way that he wanted me to. And then there was Clinton, the man who had literally turned my life upside down, but I couldn't deny the fact that my heart still tingled a bit whenever he was around. Did I hate it? No. Do I despise him? Not anymore. Then why?? “Clinton, if you know that you are here to cause trouble, it's better to leave; Caleb is known to not be able to control his temper when around you, and I don't want this to turn into something messy.” Clinton held a smir

039 JOANA'S POV I gazed into Clinton's eyes. The feeling of betrayal and guilt was evident on his face, I knew he had so many questions. Why did I feel hurt? Why did I feel like I had truly betrayed him? Why did I feel sympathy? Why? He locked eyes with me again. This time, his gaze was soft. His eyes were teary, full of agony. “I will not ask you why you hid them, but… when did you know you were pregnant?” “The moment after we had our first time together when I was comforting you.” “I have been so stupid, so ignorant and arrogant, and I can't even ask you to forgive me, but I wish to see them just once after Jake's full recovery…” I was about to reply when Peter rushed to me, “Jake's awake… he's looking for you.” We both rushed to him, and he looked so happy chatting with his siblings, but Caleb looked angry for some reason. “The man looks so much like you and Japheth.” I heard Mirabel say. “Really?” Jake was really intrigued by their convers

040 JOANA'S POV I walked to them, “Why are you still interrogating him? Did he still do something bad?” Mirabel and Japheth jumped into Clinton's arms, “Of course not. We are just making sure that he won't leave you or us.” Japheth said softly. “I won't leave you guys at all,” Clinton tickled them as they ran to Peter. “Peter, please take them out for lunch,” I said to Peter as he nodded and took them out. “See you soon, Daddy,” they waved as they made their way out of the room. I was about to go to Jake when Clinton dragged me, and I landed on his lap. He locked me in his grasp, “Let me go,” I tried to release from his grip, but it only made things quite difficult since I was put in a dangerous spot. “If you keep moving, we might make baby four in here,” Clinton whispered in my ears, and I froze. “What do you want?” Clinton nuzzled around my neck region, “I missed this scent so bad.” I was supposed to push him away and remind him how badly he treated me

041 CALEB'S POV “Shit!!!” How could I forget that I wanted to give Joana this? I looked at the fruit basket in my car, and I didn't want to make things more awkward between us. But if I should give it to the kids, I may be able to score some points. I took the basket and got down from my car. I saw Joana walking to her car with some suspicious people at her back. The next thing I knew, they threw a black sack over her head. I hurriedly went to her rescue, but they were too quick. I was able to get the plate number of the vehicle. Sending the information to my private investigator, I phoned him, “I want to track this vehicle now.” “Clinton…” I turned, locking eyes with Peter, “where is Joana?” He had the look of terror in his eyes. I walked up to him, “I want you to be strong for the kids. No matter what happens, tell them nothing, I'll get Joanna.” He nodded softly. “Here, take this, do not, I repeat, do not frighten the kids,” I gave him the fruit basket, retu

042 JOANA'S POV I gasped hard, forcing my eyes open, breathing hard as my eyes checked my environment. I was home. My door slowly opened, revealing Peter with a bowl of water. “Thank goodness, you're up…” he rushed to me, keeping the bowl of water on the desk. “What happened? Where's Clinton?” “One question at a time: firstly, you were abducted; I'm sure you were aware of that; the drugs that made you unconscious for a while tampered with your nerves, and the fright made you faint.” “Clinton was the one who saved you and brought you back…” My eyes widened, “he did not bring you back to the house but to the hospital. Caleb was the one who brought you home.” I sighed softly. This was getting more intense, I really don't want to keep getting drugged. “Are you…” Caleb came in and ran to hug me. “I'll leave you to your business,” Peter said softly and left the room. “I can't… breathe,” I was choking over the tight hug. “I'm sorry, I just couldn't bring myself 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
TAKE ME BACK EX WIFE CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
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

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

062JOANA'S POVClinton stopped talking. He was quite shocked by my behaviour, but I honestly don't blame him.“Funny how the old Joana couldn't say half of all you are saying,” he finally spoke up with a tiny smirk plastered on his face.I opened the door slightly. “Funny, right? Because the old Joana is dead.”I alighted from the car, walking slowly to pick up the kids when I saw my kids bowing their heads and a woman flaring with anger.Mirabel slightly raised her head and saw me immediately, Mommy…”I rushed to her, confused about the whole situation.“So you're the mother who can't train her children properly?” I raised a brow at the lady opposite me.Her son was standing by her side, I noticed my boys refusing to look at me even when I had arrived.“Japheth, Jake, I want you to raise your heads now,” I said in a commanding tone as they finally lifted up their heads.My boys had a black eye, and my sons had a freaking black eye.“Can somebody explain why on earth my boys have a b

061JOANA'S POVLouisa launched towards me but was stopped by Caleb, “The only reason I haven't beaten you up to a pulp is because you're a lady; don't try me.”Caleb growled as I chuckled lightly. Louisa, fuming with rage, ran to Clinton's side, but Clinton removed her hand from him.“Are you really doing this to me?” She yelled angrily.“You caused it. Besides, when will you stop ruining yourself? You're an adult. Act like one.”Clinton pushed her aside and walked to me. She screamed loudly, drawing attention to her.“Joana, mark my words, you will pay for all these, I promise you.” She picked up herself and left the place with her supposed minions.“How do you survive with this girl all the time?” Caleb scoffed, heading to his car.I chuckled softly, heading to Clinton. He tried to open the door for me, but I stopped him, “I agreed to ride with you. It doesn't mean I'll let you do all these shitty things.”Clinton's face turned cold. I don't know what he was expecting, but I hoped
