Semua Bab THE UNWANTED EX-HUSBAND: Bab 121 - Bab 130

BEATRICE:Yeah. I should not answer it, not because Drake said I should not. But because I wanted it. I needed to set things up with him.Josh…I needed him to be removed from my life. But could I face him right now? The thought of seeing him right now brought shivers down my spine. He murdered his own wife? And he lied with a straight face. There should never be hesitations again. “You think he is that bad?”I said no hesitations, alright? You need to make up your mind this instant!“He is the worst, Beatrice. He is the most dangerous person that you would encounter.” How sure was he, actually? Very sure that he asked someone to tail your suitor.“There is nothing to argue about that. I am totally happy that I removed him from your life. Not because he is my competitor, but because he is dangerous. You understand me, right?”Did I? Back in the past, I was stubborn. I was not listening to him. I did not listen to any of his words, thinking it was because he was jealous. But it was

BEATRICE:Why should I react to Sarah's statement when it was the truth? My ex-husband had married me because I was rich. He could use our family’s influence. Wasn’t we the reason why the investors kept on trusting him? That was the reason why. “Drake. All the women whom you had relationships with were wealthy and influential. You use us to your advantage so it will never be a surprise if…” she trailed off. Sarah. She was an example of an annoying bitch. She minds the other’s business.But what she said was true, right? You were married to each other. He agreed because the Watson family was wealthy. Most of you were already billionaires. And some zillionaires even. That was one of the reasons why your mom was confident to marry you off to someone else because no one would be able to say no.Men and women practically wanted to be with us because of what we could offer. Prestige. Power. Money. Anything that you could name."Watch your mouth, Sarah," Drake growled. "I respected you a

BEATRICE:The next wedding, huh? Am I ready for that one? I did not think it would happen any moment from now. “You're overreacting, Everette.”He gave me a half shrug. “Am I? Could you blame me when I always put you two together. Your closeness is different from the past, something has changed between you two.” I heaved a sigh and stared at him for a long time. How could he insert anything about Drake when he already had a lot of things on his mind? “You're imagining it,” I denied. If I told him the truth, he would ask more questions. Despite having a lot on his plate, he was still asking about me.Besides, whatever we had right now, I wanted to keep it to ourselves first. Just to make sure. “Am I? Or you're only hiding it?”I averted my gaze and stared at Christina's sleeping form. After crying for so long, this was the first time seeing her face become lighter, as if she had released some of the weight she was carrying.“Why would I hide anything?”“Precisely, Beatrice. Why

BEATRICE:My ex-husband replying with a chuckle felt like he kicked my pride, bruising my ego. Drake seducing me? Why not? It was not difficult to do, right? I did not think that was a laughing matter. Did he seduce you in the past? the other part of my mind asked. Were there any experiences in the past where he did the first move aside from his goal of impregnating you? The smile vanished from my eyes. He did not. Never. Everything was not because he desired me. "Am I not worth it to be seduced? I'm not that pretty to you?" I blurted before I could stop myself from asking.I bit the inside of my cheeks, realizing what I just said. Damn with my stupid mouth. It felt like I was desperate for his attention. That's what you get for not sleeping right away, Beatrice. You're becoming even more pathetic. Maybe it has something to do with not getting laid for a couple of years. You should have listened to me when I said to meet men to satisfy your sexual urges. The thought of me me

BEATRICE:“You responded to my kisses and that was enough, doll. You did not slap me when I kissed you,” Drake explained, wearing the sweetest smile he could muster. Pouting, I retorted, “I never said yes to your proposal. We are still in the process of getting to know each other again,” I teased. “Don't get your hopes high, my dear ex-husband.”“We will get to know each other for eternity,” he whispered and tenderly kissed the bridge of my nose. “If you are not yet ready to commit to me again, it’s fine, doll. I will be waiting until you get ready, alright? If you will see how I am being true to you, your heart will soften for me.”He had no idea. A life with my ex-husband, huh? A life with Drake version two? Why not? He showed himself that he was worth it. So why not?Proper timing, Beatrice. You will still observe and watch. I wondered what would be the changes this time. If ever I accept his love. Would our relationship become better or worse?You will never know if you won’t t
