The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 34: Her Rival!
Carmela's head was spinning. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Max, her ex-husband, could be facing criminal charges? It was all too much to take in. She took a deep breath, trying to focus on Sarah's words. "Are you sure about this?" she asked, her voice hoarse. "Where did you hear this?"Sarah looked her straight in the eye. "I have a friend who's an attorney, and he heard about the investigation through the grapevine," she said. "I'm not sure how credible the information is, but I thought you should know about it."Carmela jumped up from the table, her chair scraping against the floor. "I need to go," she said, her voice shaking. "I need to talk to Max." She grabbed her purse and headed for the door, not even stopping to say goodbye to Sarah and Andrew. She burst out of the cafe and hailed a cab, giving the address of Max's house. As the cab sped through the city, Carmela's mind was racing. What if the rumors were true? What if Max was really in trouble?Carmela coul

“I’ll ask again. What’s going on here?” Carmela escaped her hands from Max’s. She folded her arms together.“We were just chatting, Max” Nichole chuckled, hitting max in the chest. “It’s nothing serious. You don’t have to bothered about it.” Max turned to look at Carmela but she kept evading his face because if she looked at him she’ll cry even more.“Carmela, are you okay?” Max held her shoulder, but she shake his hands off, she sniffed in and hold her breath.“Im okay, it’s nothing.” Her eyes red, she looked straight in Max’s eyes. “I was just leaving anyways.” She started to walk away. "Carmela, please, wait, let me ride you home," Max said, reaching out to her. But Nichole stepped between them, her eyes flashing. "Carmela doesn't need to go home with you," she said, her voice hard. "She doesn't need your pity, and she doesn't need your protection. You're the last person she needs right now."Carmela felt frozen, caught between the two people she had loved and lost. She wanted t

After listening to the stupid talk of the security man, Nichole composed herself and walked past the security guard, her determination overpowering any doubts that might had been lingering in her heart. As she entered the grand mansion, she was immediately awestruck by its opulence and extravagance. The marble floors glimmered beneath her feet, and the sound of her heels echoed through the empty hallway.A butler appeared from the shadows, his perfectly pressed suit and impeccable demeanor giving away the years of experience he had in serving the wealthy. "Welcome, Mrs. Atom," he greeted her with a warm smile. "Mr. Atom is expecting you. May I show you to his study?"Nichole nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. She followed the butler down the elegant corridors, taking in the grand art pieces and luxurious furniture that adorned the mansion. She wondered how different her life could have been if she hadn’t fallen in love with wealth and power instead of Max.Finally, they arrived

In the cold night air, Carmela was huddled on a park bench, staring at her phone. She had been rejected by dozens of companies that day, all of them citing some mysterious "conflict of interest" as their reason for turning her away. She knew it was Mr. Atom's doing, but she didn't know how to prove it. She felt like a prisoner in her own city, unable to move forward with her life because of the man who had hurt her so deeply. She wondered if she would ever be able to escape from his shadow.As she sat there, lost in her thoughts, she noticed a figure approaching in the distance. As the person got closer, she realized it was Max. Her heart jumped into her throat, and she felt her pulse quicken. She wasn't sure if she was happy or scared to see him. He sat down on the bench next to her, and she turned to face him. "Hey," he said, his voice soft and hesitant.She didn't know what to say, so she just nodded. They sat in silence for a moment, the street lights casting a warm glow on

Carmela's heart was pounding in her chest as Max leaned in closer. His dark eyes were locked on hers, and she felt herself being drawn in, unable to look away. Her cheeks flushed as he brought his lips closer to hers, and she could feel her whole body tingling with anticipation. As their lips met, she felt a jolt of electricity run through her. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before. His lips were soft and gentle, but firm and insistent. She felt like she was floating on air, and all she could focus on was the feeling of his lips on hers.As Max continued to kiss her, Carmela's body relaxed against him. All the tension and worry she had been carrying with her seemed to melt away, and she felt herself sinking into the moment. For a brief moment, all her problems and worries disappeared. All she could focus on was the feeling of Max's lips on hers, and the warmth of his body against hers. A tear rolled down her cheek as she surrendered herself to the kiss, letting h

The morning sun streamed through the window, waking Carmela from a deep sleep. She blinked her eyes open, disoriented at first, but then the memories of the previous night came rushing back. The conversation with Max. The kiss. The way he had held her so tenderly. She sat up, her face flushed as she remembered every moment of the night before. What did it all mean? She had made a mistake again and slept with Max.Carmela got out of bed and went to the window, looking out at the oceanfront. She tried to clear her head, but her thoughts kept circling back to Max.As Carmela looked out the window, she was struck by the beauty of the morning sun sparkling off the water of the ocean below. The waves rolled in gently, and a light breeze blew through the window, carrying the scent of the sea with it. In spite of her worries and fears, Carmela couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over her. The view was so beautiful, and it helped to calm her racing thoughts.But even as the seren

The next morning, Carmela woke up feeling anxious and restless. She missed her kids so much, and she was worried about how they were doing. But she didn't want to worry Max, so she kept her thoughts to herself. She got dressed and went downstairs to the sitting room, where she found Max painting. The canvas was covered in bold, vibrant colors, and the scene he was painting was full of life and movement.Carmela stood for a moment, watching him work. He was so absorbed in his art that he didn't even notice her."Good morning," Carmela said softly, breaking the silence. Max looked up, startled, then smiled when he saw her. He came over and kissed her on the forehead. "Good morning, love," he said. "Did you sleep well?""I did," Carmela replied, smiling back at him. "What are you working on?""Oh, just a little project I'm doing for fun," Max said, gesturing at the canvas. "I thought I'd redesign the house a bit, with your help, of course.”Carmela smiled and picked up a brush and st

Max hesitated, not sure how much to tell her. He didn't want to worry her, but he also didn't want to lie. "It's nothing," he said, trying to sound casual. "Just an old business associate looking for a favor."Carmela raised an eyebrow. "A favor?" she asked, her voice skeptical. "What kind of favor?"Max took a deep breath. He had to tell her something, but he didn't want to scare her. "It's nothing serious," he said. "Just an annoyance, really."Max and Carmela continued to chat, the conversation flowing easily between them. But even as they talked, Max's mind kept returning to the encounter with the man from the photo agency. What did Nichole want with those pictures? And why was she so interested in him and Carmela?He pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on Carmela. He didn't want to let anything ruin this time with her. She was the most important thing in his life, and he wasn't going to let anything come between them.Eventually, the sun started to set, and Max and Carmela

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
