All Chapters of MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

RONAN “I'm asking where you were?” I repeated as Cleo stood still in front of me, not showing any emotions on her face.“Don't give my daughter that tone, Volkov.” Belle’s aunt came out of nowhere as if she'd just been here all along.She glared at me intently as if she wanted to cut my tongue for raising my voice on her daughter.My jaw clenched at the two. She wants to protect her daughter from my yell but doesn't care about Belle and the kids, who are more in danger than her daughter.I guess she's only after the company and nothing else.I looked away to ease my tension.“Belle is missing and I'm speculating Paul took her,” I said as I looked around. “First the shootout with two gunmen and now the abduction. Was this place really not secure, Cortez? Or maybe someone is letting the enemies behind our back.”I looked at them as Mrs. Cortez's face turned red, and raging eyes shot into mine.“Are you accusing us?” She growled as she took a step towards me.“Why? Did I hit the right s

YSABELLE My eyes widened to see Cleo, and I could not believe her sudden appearance. I looked at Paul and Cleo again, trying to understand the situation I was in.“Cleo? What… What are you doing?”Is she… the person…who helped Paul?She gestured to Paul to exit the room. As soon as he left, she sat on an empty stool and crossed her legs, unbothered.“It's payback time.”I confusedly glared at her. “What do you mean? Let me go, please!” I exclaimed in rage as I tried to get my wrists out from these handcuffs behind me.My arms are getting numb, and I think I'm losing energy because of the blood dripping out from my back.“I'm afraid I can't.” Cleo’s tone changed, which made me take aback. “It took me a year to plan this out, and you want me to stop this? Don't make me laugh.”A year?Did she plan this out for a year?For what purpose? I don't remember doing something horrible to her except making her babysit my kids while Ronan and I were busy with the issues in our lives.“I don'

RONAN“Why can't we go out? I need to go to Paris!”Belle’s aunt hysterically yelled in my face.“It's part of the investigation.” I simply said and turned my back on her.“Why would I be part of the investigation?”I stopped at her tone.She's so eager to get out of here just to go to Paris and take care of the company. She's not making sense in the part that she will continue her duty rather than look for the rest of the members of the family.Jessica and Belle.Especially Jessica, who's her daughter by blood.I turned to her with a frown all over my face. “Are you really not worried about your niece?”Her jaw clenched as she looked away. She crossed her arms on her chest as she anxiously walked back and forth inside the living room.“Follow their protocol, or I will mark you as the prime suspect in her disappearance.” “Screw you, Volkov.” She gritted her teeth as she curled her hands into fists.My jaw clenched in irritation. “Why do you hate me so much?” She scoffed. “You're a

YSABELLE Tears formed in my eyes as I intently stared at my Dad, Andrew Garcia, in front of me.“Let's get out of here.”Before I could even ask about his sudden appearance, he held my wrists and pulled me out of the hallway with Jessica tagging behind me.We entered the room where he came from but he stopped and peeked back to the door.Jessica and I were surprised by the gunfire, causing us to hide in the corner of the room. I was more worried about my Dad, thinking he might get hurt. But I saw him loading his gun while looking at us.“Cover your ears.” He firmly said.Jessica and I immediately covered our ears and a loud and spontaneous gunfire echoed in the hallway.My heart was pounding nervously with the thought I was in between the war.But after a few minutes, it stopped, and I just realized Jessica’s sobbing behind me. She felt traumatized by the shootout. I held her hand tightly to ease her fear.Dad suddenly pushed us to the wide open wind– The window is open!Before I co

YSABELLETears ran down my face as I saw him sprinting in my direction, wrapping his arms tightly around me. My sob grew louder as I finally felt his warmth, his touch, his loud heart beating, and his heavy breathing while I buried my face in his neck, inhaling the scent I missed for a day and night.“Are you okay? Did they hurt you?” He asked as he caressed my hair at the back.I nodded as I tightened my arms around him. “I’m fine, love. I’m not hurt.”“Let’s go to the hospital.”He lifted me and didn't let me go until we reached the car. But I suddenly remember Jessica.I looked around and saw her in the corner, getting uncomfortable with the unknown people around us.I extended my hand to reach her hand and pulled her inside the car.Ronan seems to be taken aback to see Jessica, or maybe he doesn't know her personally since this is their first meeting.After he sat beside me and closed the door, the car started making its way to the hospital.“Ronan, this is Jessica–”“I know who
