All Chapters of My billionaire ex-husband wants me back: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Maria's POV Maria stared at the ceiling as she sat on her wheelchair. She gazed towards the door to make sure it was locked before standing up with a mischievous smile on her face. “Lucas! How stupid of you to think that I lost my memories in the car accident”. She let out a cheeky laugh before sitting back on her wheelchair. A knock suddenly came on the door which sent her heart racing. “I hope no one heard me”. She muttered as she undid the lock. “Hey Maria”, Chloe smiled down at her. “How do you feel today?” Maria stared at Chloe for a while with a shocked expression on her face. “I'm fine, Do you need anything? It's quite unusual seeing you in my room.” Chloe gave a hearty laugh before taking a seat jus beside Maria. “Oh Maria! There's no problem at all. I just thought of checking up on you or is it bad?” Chloe smirked mischievously which made Maria unsettled.“That's so sweet of you”. Maria felt the wheel on her chair was stuck and she bent down to check it only to see Ch

Maria stood transfixed, unsure of what just happened. Cleaning the blood that had splattered on her face, she rushed towards the edge of the cliff with a shocked expression on her face.“You evil witch”, Lucas suddenly appeared behind her with a gun in his hand.“What have you done, Lucas?” She screamed.“How evil can you be? Were you thinking I wasn't going to find out about your deceitful acts?” Lucas groaned, pointing the gun at her.Scarlet, who was tied to the chair, tried to free herself, but soon froze in her seat when Maria pointed the gun at her, threatening to pull the trigger.“Make one more move and I'll blow your brains out.” Maria shouted, still with the gun pointed at scarlet. “Drop the gun, Maria. You do not want me to do something bad”. Lucas threatened, taking slow steps towards her.“What's the worst you can do? Pull the trigger at me ? Try it but know that I won't go down alone, she will too”. Pointing at scarlet who could barely breathe. She let out a wicked laug

Scarlet's eyes narrowed as she looked at Lucas. "What are you going to do with Maria?" she asked, her voice firm.Lucas's expression turned cold, and he clenched his jaw. "I'm going to hand her over to the police," he said, his voice low and even.Scarlet's eyebrows rose in surprise. "You're going to turn her in?" she asked, her voice laced with skepticism.Lucas nodded. "Yes, I am. She's been using me and manipulating me for her own gain. She's been playing games with my family and my business. It's time she faced the consequences of her actions."Scarlet's eyes searched Lucas's face, looking for any sign of hesitation or uncertainty. But all she saw was determination and a sense of justice."What about the baby?" Scarlet asked, her voice softening slightly.Lucas's expression didn't change. "The baby? Well she never had a baby, what she did earlier confirmed it. She has been faking everything," he said, his voice firm. "Maria lied to me about the pregnancy, and I have the proof to b

Lucas finally caught up to Maria, his car screeching to a halt as he blocked her path. Maria, realizing she was trapped, tried to make a run for it, but Lucas was too quick. He jumped out of his car and grabbed her, spinning her around to face him."You're not going anywhere," Lucas growled, his eyes blazing with anger.Maria struggled against his grip, but Lucas held her firm. "Let me go," she spat, her eyes flashing with defiance."I don't think so," Lucas said, his voice cold and menacing. "You're going to pay for what you've done. I'm going to hand you over to the police and let them deal with you."Maria's face twisted with fear, but she quickly regained her composure. "You can't just hand me over to the police," she said, her voice steady. "I have rights, Lucas. And I won't go down without a fight."Lucas sneered at her. "You're not in a position to make demands, Maria. You've lied to me, manipulated me, and used me for your own gain. You're not even pregnant, are you? It was al

Lucas's mother turned to walk away, her back straight and her head held high. But Lucas noticed the slight tremble in her hands, the faint quiver in her voice."I'm going to my room," she said, her voice cold and detached. "I need some time alone."As she walked away, Lucas felt a pang of frustration. He wanted answers, but his mother was shutting him out.Chloe slumped into a chair, rubbing her forehead and sighing. "I don't even recognize Mom anymore," she said, her voice laced with sadness. "She's always been secretive, but this is different. It's like she's hiding something from us."Lucas nodded, his eyes fixed on the doorway where his mother had disappeared. "I know what you mean," he said, his voice low. "I feel like I'm losing her, like she's slipping away from us."Chloe looked up at him, her eyes filled with concern. "What are we going to do, Lucas?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Lucas shook his head, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over him. "I don't kno
