The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance at Love Chapter 78: Waterfront
"Where should we meet?" Carmela asked, trying to keep her voice steady. "I'll come talk to you in person if that's what you want.""We'll meet at the waterfront, in the middle of the city," Nichole said, her voice cold and hard. "You have one hour to get there. If you don't show up, or if you bring anyone with you, I'll make sure your children pay the price. Do you understand?"Carmela felt her heart beating in her chest. "I understand," she said, trying to keep her voice calm. "I'll..”Just as Carmela opened her mouth to speak, Nichole hung up the phone. Carmela stood there, frozen in place, her heart pounding in her chest. She felt her hands shaking, and her breath coming in short gasps. She was panicking, and she didn't know what to do.She felt like she was going to be sick. She was terrified of what would happen if she didn't go to the waterfront. But she was also terrified of what would happen if she did. She didn't know how to make the right choice.The next day, Carmela was

"Why in the world would you forget your phone?" Nichole said, raising an eyebrow. "That's such an odd thing to do." "It's not a big deal," Carmela replied, shrugging her shoulders. "It happens to everyone sometimes." But Nichole wasn't paying attention to her words. Instead, she was looking around the waterfront, and her eyes landed on two police officers, walking toward where there were standing. "Did anyone know you were coming here?" Nichole asked, panic rising in her voice. "Is there anyone else who knows we're here?" "No," Carmela replied, shaking her head. "I didn't tell anyone. I just left Max at home, and no one else knows I'm here." "Shit," Nichole muttered, her eyes darting around the waterfront, searching for a way out. "We have to get out of here." As they were about to make their escape, they heard a loud voice calling out, "Nichole! Stop right there!" Both women froze, their hearts pounding in their chests. Nichole turned to face the voice, her hand still cl

Earlier, Max had been called to the scene because of the sudden downfall of Nichole. "Carmela," Max said, his voice filled with concern. He rushed to her side, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. "It's going to be okay," he said, his voice soothing. "I'm here for you." Carmela clung to Max, her body wracked with sobs. "It's all my fault," she cried. "I shouldn't have let go of her. I should have stopped her. Now she's..." She couldn't finish the thought. Max held her tighter, rocking her gently. "You're not to blame," he said, Carmela's grief turned to anger, and she struck Max's chest with her fists. "It's because of me!" she screamed, her words tinged with bitterness. "I should have done something! I should have stopped her!" Officer Johnson stepped forward, placing a hand on Max's shoulder. "You should take her home," he said. "We'll keep looking for her, but for now, she needs you." Max nodded, taking Carmela's hand and leading her away from the cli

Officer Johnson was walking down the hall with a doctor by his side. "Thank you for informing us about the body you found at the seaside last night," the officer said. "I know it must have been a difficult situation." "It certainly was," the doctor replied. "But I wanted to make sure you knew as soon as possible. I'm just glad we were able to get a message to you." As they walked, nurses and other hospital staff hurried past them, carrying files and pushing carts full of supplies. The bustle of the hospital was overwhelming, but the officer and the doctor paid it to none of their concern. The doctor led the officer to a quiet room, and opened a long drawer where a woman's body lay. The officer immediately covered his nose as the smell of decay filled the room. The doctor explained, "She's completely waterlogged, and I'm not sure how long she's been in the water." The officer held up a photo of Nichole. "Is this her?" he asked. The doctor studied the photo for a moment, then

"Pedro, where did you find my kids?" Carmela asked, still holding Hannah and Noah close. "How did you know where they would be?” Pedro looked down at the ground, his face red. "I've been following Nichole," he said. "I've been trying to figure out what she's been up to. When I saw the kids running away from her, I knew something was wrong." Carmela's eyes filled with tears again, this time with gratitude. "Thank you," she said, her voice breaking. "You saved my kids. Thank you." "Carmela," Officer Johnson said, "I understand that you're relieved to have your kids back. But I'd like to speak to them about what happened. If you're okay with that." “Is that necessary? I’ve gotten my kids back what’s there to ask about.” Carmela was flushed with anger. Her kids just came back and the officer wasn’t going to let them go yet? “I just need it to finish up some paperwork and close the case of your kids kidnapping.” Said officer Johnson, “so please comply with us.” Carmela nodded, h

Carmela took a deep breath and turned back to the morgue. "I'm ready to go," she said to Officer Johnson. "I want to take my kids home." "Of course," he said, his voice kind. "We've done everything we need to do here. I'll drive you home and make sure you and the kids are safe." Carmela felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. "Thank you," she said. "You've been so helpful. I really appreciate it." When Carmela and the kids arrived home, Max rushed out to meet them. He hugged the kids tightly, relief evident on his face. "Thank God you're safe," he said, his voice choked with emotion. "I was so worried." Carmela looked at him, her expression stern. "You should have been there," she said. "Where were you?" Max's face fell. "I'm sorry," he said. "I was at work, and I didn't know anything had happened until you called me. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" "I was trying to surprise you," Carmela said. "when we both realized the kids were missing, everything fell apart. I didn't wa

“What!” said Max looking a lot surprised at Carmela’s abrupt response to his proposal. He had thought that this was the best time to get her to marry him. Maybe he had thought wrong and gotten the idea that Carmela would be his again. “Mommy say yes!” Noah and Hannah screamed, their hands at their mouth, “Say yes!” Carmela turned to the kids, looking at how happy and so obliged they were for her to say yes to their father. However was that what Carmela wanted? Did she even want to get back with Max? Well, she had no say in that. Her kid's happiness was hers and if they wanted her back with their father, then why not? She could give it a try. “I’m just joking, yes, I will want to marry you.”Carmela laughed awkwardly, a weak smile on her lips, “I love you.” It sounded so genuine to Max that he believed everything. Nevertheless, Carmela only said yes because she thought it was what would make her kids happy. It’s been a long rift and staying apart wasn’t the best medicine for t

The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the city below. In a darkened bedroom, Carmela slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling with each breath. Beside her, Max lay still, his long eyelashes resting gently on his cheeks. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the air conditioner. Then, suddenly, the quiet was broken by the bright light of Carmela's phone screen. A notification flashed on the screen, alerting her to a new message. The phone kept beeping, its shrill sound cutting through the silence of the room. Reluctantly, Carmela opened her eyes and reached for her phone. As she squinted at the screen, she saw that there were ten new notifications. The messages all read the same: "Help." Carmela's heart began to race as she wondered what this could mean. Was someone in trouble? Or was this some kind of prank? Carmela sat up in bed, her heart pounding in her chest. She glanced over at Max, who was still sound asleep, blissfully unaware of the sit

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

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
