The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 13: Onlookers
There, sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant, were Max and Nichole. They looked happy, laughing and talking as they sipped their wine. Carmela felt the color drain from her face, and her heart started pounding in her chest. How could they be here? She thought. What are they doing?Max looked up and saw her standing there, his eyes widening in surprise. "Carmela," he said, standing up. "What are you doing here?"Carmela tried to keep her composure, determined not to let Max and Nichole see how much this was affecting her. "I'm not here for you," she said, addressing Max directly. "And I'm not interested in your personal life. Please, just enjoy your meal and leave me alone."As she spoke, she felt Pedro's hand move to her hand, gently squeezing it. "Come on, babe, do you know them?" he said, giving her a reassuring smile. "Let's go get a drink."She looked at him, unsure of what to do.“Ohh, sorry. This is Max, my ex-husband and my Best friend Nichole. They’re get married

Carmela was silent for a moment, her mind racing. She looked up at Pedro, her eyes wide. "I appreciate that," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I don't know what to do. I'm so confused."Pedro reached out and took her hand, his eyes full of compassion. "It's okay to be confused," he said. "But I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what. You're not alone."The next morning, Carmela woke up in a bed that wasn't her own. She was in Pedro's guest room, and for a moment, she wasn't sure where she was. But then the events of the previous day came rushing back to her, and she sat up, running a hand through her hair. She heard a soft knock on the door."Come in," she said, trying to steady her voice. The door opened, and Pedro walked in, a cup of coffee in his hand. "Morning," he said, giving her a small smile. "How are you feeling?"Carmela took the cup of coffee and sipped it, savoring the warmth. "I don't know," she said. "Everything feels like it's spinning ou

Carmela took a deep breath, willing herself to focus. She needed to be strong, for herself and for her kids. "I can do this," she said, her voice growing stronger. "What's the plan?"Andrew leaned forward, resting his elbows on his desk. "First, we need to get all the facts straight," he said. "I need you to tell me everything that happened between you and Max, from the beginning. Don't leave anything out, no matter how small or insignificant it seems. We need to know everything."Carmela took a deep breath and began to tell her story, starting from when she first met Max. She talked about their marriage, the birth of the twins, and their eventual divorce. She told him about the aftermath of the divorce, how she had been struggling to make ends meet. And finally, she told him about Max's sudden reappearance in her life, and his request for custody of the twins. She spoke for what felt like hours, reliving every painful moment. But finally, she was done.Andrew sat back in his chair, hi
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 16: Worst Threat
Carmela let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding, her body shaking with relief. She turned to Pedro, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you," she said, her voice trembling. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been here."Pedro gave her a gentle smile. "You don't have to thank me," he said. "I'm just glad I could help. Are you okay?"Carmela nodded, trying to compose herself. "I'm okay," she said, her voice gaining strength.Just then, a car pulled up to the curb, and the driver's window rolled down. "Carmela?" a familiar voice said. "Is everything okay?"Carmela's eyes widened as she recognized the voice. It was her friend, Sarah. "Sarah!" she exclaimed, rushing over to the car. "Thank goodness you're here!"Sarah got out of the car and rushed to Carmela, wrapping her in a tight hug. "I was so worried when I heard what happened," she said. "What's going on?""Let's get out of here," Sarah said, her voice firm. "We can talk in the car. Come on." She ushered
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 17: Worst Case Scenerio
Carmela left the school in a daze, her mind racing. She had never hit anyone before, and the fact that she had lost control scared her. But she was also relieved to have gotten her kids away from Nichole. As she drove home, she thought about the things Nichole had said. "I have to protect them," she thought, her hands gripping the steering wheel. "I can't let anything happen to them."When she got home, she was surprised to see that the house looked completely different. The damage from the kidnapper had been repaired, and everything looked brand new. "What on earth, happened here?" She was happy to the new look of her furnished house. At the door of her door front stood a man in a black suit and square glasses. The man turned out to be Andrew. Why was he here? “Andrew, surprise seeing you here.” Carmela looked flushed as her kids rushed past her into the house. “We need to speak.” He said, walking into the house. Carmela followed Andrew into the house, her heart pounding. She s
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 18: Hannah
Carmela got Noah out of the house and ran into the front yard, looking around frantically for Hannah. She spotted her daughter just as a beam from the roof collapsed, trapping her under a pile of burning wood. "Hannah!" Carmela screamed, running towards her. "No!"Hannah's eyes were wide with fear as she struggled to free herself from the debris, but it was no use. The flames were spreading rapidly, and Carmela knew she had to act fast. She grabbed a nearby hose and turned on the water, aiming it at the burning beam.Suddenly, Pedro appeared at Carmela's side, a look of panic on his face. "What happened?" he asked, his eyes wide. "Where's Hannah?""She's under the beam!" Carmela cried, pointing to the spot where her daughter was trapped. "We have to help her!"Pedro ran over to the burning beam and began to push against it, straining with all his might. But it wouldn't budge. The fire was spreading, and Hannah was starting to lose consciousness. They had to do something, and fast.Jus
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 19: I wish He Understood
As Max continued to comfort Carmela, Pedro's expression darkened. He didn't like the idea of Max being there, comforting his friend. He knew that Max was Carmela's ex-husband, and he didn't want him to get close to her again. He was worried that Max would only cause more pain and confusion.Carmela sensed the tension between the two men, and she felt a wave of guilt. She knew that they both cared about her, and she didn't want them to fight. She wanted them to get along, for the sake of her own sanity.Carmela took a deep breath and turned to Max. "I appreciate you being here," she said, her voice steady. "But I also want to make sure that you and Pedro get along. You both mean a lot to me, and I don't want any bad blood between you."Max looked at her, his eyes softening. "Of course," he said, his voice gentle. "I respect Pedro, and I have no desire to cause any problems. I just want to make sure you're okay."Carmela reached out and touched Max's arm, her eyes pleading. "Please, Max,
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 20: If Not Nichole, then Who!
But just as their kiss was reaching its peak, a car pulled up next to them. The headlights illuminated the man's face, and Nichole gasped. "Oh my God," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're...you're..."As Nichole stood there, dazed and confused, she heard the car door slam. She turned and saw Max rushing towards her, his face pale and his eyes wide. "Nichole, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. "I saw you just now with a man what happened. Are you hurt?"Nichole was at a loss for words. She felt betrayed and hurt, but also confused. "I don't know what to say," she finally managed to say. "I don't understand what's going on."Nichole continued to act like she was dum.Nichole turned back around, looking for the mysterious man who had disappeared into the night. But there was no sign of him. It was like he had vanished into thin air. "He's gone," she said, her voice trembling as she whispered to herself. "How did he find me?"Max put his arm around her

The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 114: A Miracle
Nineteen years had passed since the tragic events that had changed Carmela's life forever. She sat in a crowded seminar room, surrounded by strangers who were all there for the same reason - to share their stories and heal. A man opposite her asked a question that caught her off guard. "How did you know that all you had dreamed was true to what was happening in reality?" Carmela took a deep breath before answering. "My vegetative state was a miracle. It allowed me to see and understand things that I had been blind to before. It revealed secrets about my life that I had been unaware of." The woman leading the therapy session nodded sympathetically. "And how are you now? Are you coping?" Carmela hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm alright. It's all in the past." But as she spoke, her voice began to crack, and tears started to well up in her eyes. "I’m sorry…It's just...it pains me that Max didn't get to see his kids grow up. He didn't get to see his babies become adults
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 113: Max and Nichole’s Affairs
Carmela walked confidently up to the podium, her head held high and her chest raised. She signaled to a man in the back of the room, and he nodded, starting the video playback. The screens behind her flickered to life, showing clips of Max and Nichole's affair. The audience gasped in shock and disbelief. Carmela stopped the video and addressed the room, her voice clear and strong. "The two people you just saw in that video are my husband, Max, and my best friend, Nichole." The room erupted into chaos as reporters and attendees started snapping photos and whispering to each other. Carmela raised her hands, and with a dramatic flourish, flung the photos from the podium into the air. The audience scrambled to grab the pictures, their faces filled with shock and gossip. "How can he do such a thing?" someone whispered. "He's the CEO of the company, and also a cheat?” “He's embezzling money for unknown reasons?" Carmela continued, her voice firm. "If you don't want him to embezzle yo
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 112: Crazy Talk
Max sneered, "Even if you know, what are you going to do about it? You don't have any proof." Carmela's hand dove into her purse, and she pulled out a stack of photos, tossing them in Max's face. "Deny it now," she challenged. Max's eyes widened as he raised the pictures, his face pale as he gazed at the evidence of his infidelity - photos of him and Nichole kissing, cuddling, and embracing. He covered his mouth, his hair disheveled as he brushed it back in disbelief. Carmela's voice was firm, "I'm going to divorce you, Max. Be ready." As she turned to walk away, Max grasped her arm, tears already welling up in his eyes. "Please, Carmela, I have my reasons...when you were in a vegetative state, I thought you would never wake up...everyone presumed you dead...it's a miracle you're even pregnant..." Carmela's expression remained unforgiving, her voice cold, "I don't want to hear any sad stories, Max. I'll never come back to you." Max's grip on her arm tightened, his eyes plea
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 111: Infidelity
Carmela's voice trembled with emotion as she thanked Pedro, her eyes shining with tears that were about to fall down her eyes. "Thanks, Pedro. Thank you for bringing me these photos. I appreciate your loyalty and discretion." She clutched the envelope tightly, the evidence of her husband Max's infidelity with her best friend Nichole burning a hole in her hand. She couldn’t wait to use this information she had just found on Max, and see how he was going to react. As she turned to leave, Pedro's firm grasp on her arm stopped her. "Carmela, wait," he said, his eyes filled with concern. "What are you going to do with this? You know, with this information?" Carmela's expression turned steely, a hint of determination surging into her voice. "Don't worry about me, Pedro. I know exactly what I'm going to do. I can take care of myself." She patted his hand reassuringly. "You've done enough. Just keep this between us, a favor I would return." With a nod, Pedro released his grip, and Carm
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 110: Pain and Betrayal
Carmela approached the Sunday Night Cafe, her heart racing with anticipation and a hint of trepidation. She had dressed carefully for the meeting, choosing a simple yet elegant black dress that fell just above her knees. A pair of dark sunglasses perched on her nose, and a lightweight scarf was draped effortlessly around her neck, its ends fluttering in the gentle breeze. The outfit was designed to make her blend in, yet still exude a sense of confidence and poise. As she walked towards the cafe, people milled about on the sidewalk, going about their evening routines. Some cast curious glances her way, but Carmela kept her gaze fixed on the cafe's entrance. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, her eyes adjusting to the warm, cozy atmosphere within. The cafe was quieter than she had expected, with only a handful of customers scattered about the room. A few sipped coffee or tea, while others typed away on their laptops or engaged in hushed conversations. Carmela's eye
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 109: Unknown Number
Carmela's eyes scanned the bustling office, her gaze darting from face to face, searching for a familiar feature or a hint of recognition. She clutched the letter in her hand, the words blurring together as her mind raced with possibilities. She swept her gaze across the room, taking in the laptops and lattes, the hushed conversations and casual laughter. Her eyes lingered on a lone figure in the corner, typing away on their phone, but they seemed oblivious to her presence. She turned her attention to the couple by the window, holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes, clearly lost in their own world. Carmela's heart raced as she wondered, could it be a friend, a stranger, or even an enemy waiting to reveal a secret about her husband Max? The anonymity of the letter only added to the mystery, and Carmela's sense of urgency grew with each passing moment. Carmela stood up, her heart still racing from the anticipation, and made her way towards the lady who had delivered the

“What? Are you not happy to see me?” Nichole exclaims covering her mouth with her hands. She flings her randomly. “Why are you looking like you’ve just seen a ghost?” Well, Carmela wasn’t expecting her assistant to be Nichole. Why was it that Nichole was just everywhere in her life? How could Carmela completely remove Nichole? “Well because I’ve just seen one.” Carmela rolled her eyes. Not only was she surprised but also was she startled a bit. “Stop with the silly jokes. I did all this for you, you know…” Nichole opened her hands to hug her but was stopped halfway, Carmela frowning her lips a little disgusted. “when you were in that bed, I felt really bad and I couldn’t bear to see your spot taken away from you.” Nichole wrinkled her face like she was about to cry. It was all pretense and Carmela knew it. She could not be deceived once more. She knew all Nicholes's tactics and wasn’t going to fall for it once more. “So you stepped in,” Carmela speaks nodding her head towards h
The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 107: The Assistant
The light in the room lightened slowly. It has been that last night was a hassle for both Carmela and Max. They were both sleeping peacefully on the comfy bed. Suddenly, Max rolled with a muffled sound. His eyes went open and he moved to the bedside table and looked at the time. He returned back and sighed briefly then turned to Carmela sleeping close to him. He didn’t know why she was this attractive now she was sleeping. They had been married together for more than 5 years, and even though he knew she didn’t have a child for him, he still loved her. He hated the fact that his family members didn’t like her after all she sacrificed just to please them. Soon, Carmela began to wake as he was still lost in thoughts. “Ohh…” When Carmela's eyes met with him, her heart skipped a beat. Her hands ran to her chest. “you scared me. Why are you up this early? And why are you looking at me like that? It creeped the hell out of me.” Carmela adjusted back away from him, a concerned loo
