All Chapters of EX Wife (ENGLISH): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Exelle ...Lies.Could it be a lie?"What do you mean he's in Italy? I mean, I saw him with my own two eyes. And I'm sure it was Alexis. I'm not blind or anything, and of course, I'm sane enough not to see some certain illusion. Besides, it's not a hallucination or whatever you may call it." I spoke continuously, then paused. Taking a deep breath, I continued, "I really did see him. I clearly saw him that night! I clearly—hah."I gasped for air, closed my eyes, and gave a smack on my own forehead before letting out a deep sigh through my slightly parted lips. I rested my body on the desk and looked up at the ceiling with barely open eyes. This was all so confusing, and I didn't like it.The anxiety that my thoughts about Alexis may have gone awry bothered me. I felt nauseous and paranoid."I don't like this, Elle," his musky voice whispered from the other line. He was calling me Elle again. Even though we hadn't met each other in person, or maybe we did, but I just couldn't remembe

Exelle  . . ."Xielle, do you remember what I told you about our family's hidden paradise?" I heard my father's voice in front of me. I was currently reading a book while sitting on the sofa in the lounge of my father's office at MON. I had come here to escape my mother's attempts to seize my peaceful time by leaving the house. I lifted my head to face my father, who was smiling as he watched me.His dark hair, neatly combed, matched his hazelnut eyes, which reflected brightly in the sunlight. They were the same eyes that Hans had, and I loved them the most. My father was a human copy of Apollo, which must have been why my mother fell for him deeply.How I wished I had some of my father's genes so that I could look like Apollo's child too.My classmates from elementary and high school used to debate whether I w

Exelle  . . ."How about you go rest, Ms. Kim?" I heard Audrey's concerned voice as she handed me a cup of chamomile tea that she brewed.I looked up at her.Rest?I didn't know if I could even take a rest for myself.I knew there was a lot of work to do, and the rest seemed unimaginable at this hour. I blew a breath before sipping the hot chamomile tea, which blessed my cold stomach and nose with its fragrant aroma.I placed the cup on the coffee table in front of me."It's already been a month since the funeral, but Miss, you should rest, even just for a day," Audrey repeated as she poured another batch of tea into my cup.So, it's already been a month.The death of my friend was announced as a closed case. I glanced at my desk where papers about my work were piled up. One of them was a white envelope placed on top of the stac

Exelle    .   .   .   I quietly look at him as my gaze waver without me noticing it.  I hummed in response. Deep inside me, I now realized that the thought of acting affectionate with him made me sick. Why did I trust someone who showed no feelings for me in the past? We did have a history, but we were only connected through painful memories from years ago, and those memories still haunted me. If I think about it, aside from the fact that I knew him in the past, I only got to know him through Rylie. I pressed my lips together, not minding that he was watching me. If I spoke now, it felt like I would choke on my own words. It suddenly felt suffocating, but I didn't show it. His eyes still held tenderness, but when he said he was sorry, there was no sincerity in it. Dark's evidence against Alexis clearly showed that he

Exelle . . ."Is it you?!" I turned around from my back and saw the angry face of one of the board members who was apprehended during this morning's meeting.I just stared at her blankly while she, on the other hand, tried to resist the authorities from holding both of her arms. In reality, I couldn't remember anything about her, after all, I didn't care about them.All I wanted was to clean up my family's corporation and get rid of those people. If I hadn't realized it before, they were like blackheads ruining the beautiful face of MON. Besides, my family's corporation was a group of companies, and some of them, if I am not mistaken, already belonged to Hans, like Te Amo.On the other hand, Alexis's company, Alva Co., was his own endeavor. But Alexis had a lot of slush funds, and most of the money in them came from MON itself.Although he used different channels and p
