THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [55]
BEATRICE:"It is also nice to see you wear one," Drake admitted, shamelessly. "But if not, it's fine, Beatrice. I'm not going to force you to. Who am I to do that?""Who are you, you say? You're my ex-husband, Drake and you will continue to be like that.”“I promise I won't forever be your ex-husband. And you can wear anything you want, Honey.”“So you wanted me to wear one for your eyes only.""You could say that. But I'm not forcing anything," he whispered, his gaze softening. "You should be. You don't have the right and I will wear whatever I like to wear. Let's go, Grayson.” Glancing over my shoulder, I said, "Be sure to put that bag in our room."He quickly followed as if he was our servant. As if he was our loyal dog. Everything he was willing to do for us was still a surprise to me. A billionaire and CEO was willing to become our slave? "Understood, Beatrice,” he retorted while he carried the three heavy bags full of clothes in his two arms as if they weighed nothing. My e
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [56]
BEATRICE: Realizing the flow of my thoughts, I reprimanded myself for feeling things like that. Had I not learned my lesson? That this man will only hurt me in the end? Why would it feel as if this was the first time hearing someone compliment me? It is not like that, Beatrice. It is the first time hearing your ex-husband compliment you like this. He never spared you a glance in the past. That's why…hearing him say that you are lovely created a new feeling. Still…Drake was incapable of loving someone.Except for your son, the other part of my mind said. Yeah. Except for my son. I should stop myself from liking to hear words like that. "Mommy! Come here!" Grayson called for the second time. "The water is so clear, Mommy! Let's swim together!"He was right. The water was crystal clear and staring at it reminded me of the beautiful blue sky. And the ocean was calm today, inviting me to join them swimming. I hated how Drake continued looking at me. As if I was some kind of specim
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [57]
BEATRICE: I did not know why my ex-husband was saying those things and if he had the right to be jealous right now, given our past, but one thing was for sure: his jealousy...was a little bit making my heart flutter. No matter how many times I told myself to hate him, the other part won't listen. I felt my phone vibrate again. The notification would not stop coming in, but I did not bother to pick up my phone and read who was the one sending it. Let me enjoy my ex-husband’s reaction and the way he was overthinking a lot. "I don't think you have a say on whoever is texting me. We are divorced, remember?" I reminded him. “Whoever is texting me, you should not care.”"I know. But I still can ask you questions, Beatrice."I scoffed and turned sideways, facing him. "Questions and I have the right not to answer them."“Is it your suitor?” he asked quietly for the second time. "What if it's Josh? I did tell him that Grayson and I are going on a trip," I lied. Let him overthink it eve

BEATRICE:"Your anger is not romantic at all," I muttered, trying to act cool, but my chest was thumping wildly against my ribcage. Why would he be angry? Because his ego was bruised? Or his pride? "My anger is real, Beatrice.""Why?" I pressed. He stared at me for a long time. His eyes seemed like they were searching for something. As he was starting to kill me with anticipation in my heart, I could not help but wonder why he would be angry. I meant…he did not have any feelings for me, right? He sure had no feelings for me when we were married. "I am also asking why. I don't know why I wanted to face Josh and punch him right now for showing his feelings to you. My heart is screaming that I am the only one for you. That Grayson and you belonged to me. I know I don't have the right after what I have done to you and my son." His eyes shifted to the sea and I could see the intense regret as deep as the sea. “I’m scared that it's too late to take you back now.”My chest tightened, hea
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [59]
BEATRICE:I mentally shook my head. What was happening to me? Don’t tell me...No! That’s not going to happen!“Grayson, we need to shower,” I declared, not wanting to entertain the thoughts that were running through my mind. It was a big no!“But, Mommy! Dad, please help me,”Drake was about to rescue his son, but I narrowed my eyes at him, making him shut his mouth. Understanding what I want, he nodded, and returned his gaze at my son. “I’m sorry, Son. We need to listen to your Mom. Mommy only wants the best for us. Please remember that.”He pouted. “Okay, Dad.” He stood and wiped the sands on his hands and the rest of his body. “I have to swim first. I love swimming, Mommy.” And he left us together.At the corner of my eyes, Drake was watching my son’s every move, making sure that my son was perfectly safe. When he did not become an excellent husband to me, he was an excellent Dad to my son. At least he excelled at the department. I no longer had to dictate his duties and respons
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [1]
BEATRICE:“Sign the divorce papers like what we agreed,” Drake, my husband, ordered, shoving the divorce papers in my hand. We were supposed to be watching a romantic movie in the living room like what he said, but his mood suddenly changed. Was it because of the movie? He asked me to come here because of the divorce. “B-Babe…” was all I could while my lips trembled.I was already expecting this day. A couple of years ago, he also wanted to divorce me. We came to an agreement to give ourselves another time. And now…But why did it still hurt? "I tried to wait for you, Beatrice, but I don't have all the time in the world. I'm a busy man. I'm not getting any younger."“You think I am not?” Tears simmered in my eyes as I continued to stare at the divorce papers. What would my family think after this? Mom will hate me. They will disown me. It was never tolerated in the family to have any divorce. And if this will push through, I will be the first Watson in the family. My relatives wi
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [2]
BEATRICE:I laughed bitterly while wiping my stupid tears. "And now you're blackmailing me? Suppose that those pictures are true, you won't even give me a chance? You just grab this opportunity to be out of the marriage.""You are right. I don't want to sleep with a woman who’s not even clean."His words felt like a dagger plunged into my chest. As much as I could remember, he was the only man who touched me. I never knew my husband could be this cruel. After everything that I sacrificed for him? He would just leave me like this? When we got married, I forgot about myself. I stopped working in our family's company just to serve him as suggested by Mom. She said that Drake wanted a baby as fast as I could because of his past in which he wasn't able to hold his baby when his girlfriend gave birth.How could I cling to this marriage if he no longer trusts me? “Fine. Do you want this? I will give in. I hope you will not regret this later on.”He laughed evilly. “Good. Don't make this e
THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND [3]
BEATRICE:It was our family dinner which happened once a month. It was also a month since Drake stepped out of the house, bringing the papers with him. I already received a copy of the divorce paper. With my ex-husband out of my life, I no longer bothered to find the man in the picture.The best thing to do would be to move on.Grandfather who would usually host the dinner was absent and said he wanted to rest instead. Yeah. He should. He was already seventy years old, and his body ached all over.Lyndon, the third child among the children of seven who was next to Everette, was watching us through an online app since he was living abroad and was also working there as an engineer. He was eating too in his pad. Mom had been nagging him to return but he had a lot of excuses saying he could not leave his firm. For all I knew, he was enjoying his single life without Mom dictating him. He also did not want to be arranged to marry someone whom he did not know like what Everette and I experie
