All Chapters of THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

BEATRICE: Josh had a wife? But he never said anything about it. Not about his wife dead. Or even anything about that woman. He was married…Josh…for someone as open as him, I was not expecting that he was also capable of hiding something from me. Why? You think you're the only one who is allowed to keep secrets? the other part of my mind said. Josh was not like that. I thought he was an open book that he was not hiding anything from me. I did not know what was surprising. The fact that Josh was able to hide some important facts in his life while claiming he was pursuing me or that he had a wife and she was already dead while Drake was claiming she was murdered. Josh never said such things. Or anything about his wife. So I don't…Josh being a murderer? Images of his smiling face flashed in my mind. He sure did not look like a murderer to me. I shook my head, refusing to believe Drake's allegations.I was certain if that was true (not being the murderer thingy), Josh was hiding it

BEATRICE:Why did it have to be now? Why did their paths need to cross? I was not ready for this. Not prepared for any of the drama. Especially the fight. Would my brother stay still, or would he punch my ex-husband right away?Of course, he would throw me questions. Questions about why the heck I was still with Drake. Especially about fetching my son. Christina might have left me alone, but she sure had a husband here who would keep everything at check. Dang it.Oh, great. What a very nice day it is. Please note the sarcasm. “Beatrice,” Everette greeted through gritted teeth. “I never expected that you would tag someone.”I never expected that you'd be here, too, I wanted to say but stopped myself from doing so. Not in front of my son. “Everette. Why are you here?” I inquired, trying to make my voice as happy as possible, even if that was not what I was feeling right now. I wanted to run away and disappear for a few minutes. “Uncle Everette!” Grayson exclaimed and ran towards

BEATRICE:Drake was giving me a hopeful look while I looked for some words to answer. That was the last thing I wanted to see from him. Did he think I would easily give in like that? Having a child while my life was still a mess was something I did not want my grandchildren to experience. "Do you want it, Grayson?" my ex-husband answered for me. “Do you want me and Mommy to have…”Sex? Clearing my throat, I said, "That will happen at the right time," I answered. I was not yet in my menopausal stage. I could still carry a child within me. Like Christina, my biological clock was also ticking. And if I wanted to have another child, this year was the best year. The sooner the better so there will be less complications or no complications. The problem was that Grayson wanted his Dad to be the Dad. Not just some random men in the alleyway. "Oh. I want it to be as soon as possible, Mommy. I will be the best big brother in the whole universe," he declared and spread his arms just to show

BEATRICE:I held my hand in an attempt to touch him, but stopped mid-air. After being separated from them for a couple of years, I find it awkward to deal with him and even some members of my family. Speaking of them, would I be ready to face them or not in the near future? “Everette…”He did not answer, but his tears kept on silently falling. "What happened to your wife?" I asked out of concern. Even if our friendship fell out, I was not that heartless to desire harm to her. Despite the betrayal, Christina still mattered to me. “Everette. Your problems will not be solved if you keep on acting like that,” I reminded. “Tell me what’s wrong so that we will help solve it.”His lips quivered. For the first time in my life, I saw Everette's tears fall.My body went cold.Did something happen to his wife? "Hey. You’re making me nervous, Everette. Tell me what’s wrong, Everette. What happened to your wife?" I asked. Christina was the only one who was capable of making her cry. No one els

BEATRICE:My phone beeped when I stepped out of the hospital. Finally, my nose was free from the smell of something which I quite did not understand at all. I hugged myself when it started to get even colder. The cold breeze was nothing compared to the cold I was feeling right now. Christina…what could I do for that woman to ease her pain even for a little? On times like this, I wished I had chosen medicine during college so that I would be the one taking care of my sick relatives. Having a patient was not that easy. Everything was almost stripped from you. Your physical aspect. Emotional. And everything. As I inhaled deeply, I fished out my phone out of my pocket and read who was texting me. Drake. My ex-husband. He was always the first honor when it comes to checking up on me. Did he think I was some kind of teenager? [Beatrice. What's up? Where are you now? Do you want me to ask the driver to fetch you?] Another text message was sent, but this time, it was coming from Josh.
