All Chapters of Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

FearHate And confusion That was what I felt when I heard the last words that shut my eyesI opened my eyes, and I was taken by so much fear.Then it struck me.Dominic was moving on from me.I clutched at my chest, feeling the ache like a fresh wound, my fingers digging into my skin as if I could grasp the hurt, hold it tight, and stop it from spreading. He was moving on, and I had fainted. My head spun as I tried to remember, but a distant gasp caught my attention. Turning, I saw Lily, her face pale, eyes wide, standing frozen in the doorway from the bathroom.“You’re awake!” she gasped, rushing toward me, her arms wrapping around me tightly. I could feel her relief in the way she held me like I was something precious, But I was too shocked to respond. I pulled back slightly, looking at her, confusion and pain reflecting in my gaze.“What…what are you doing here?” I asked, my voice a whisper, barely steady.Lily bit her lip, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. She reached fo

Shocked that was what I felt at these moments.A chill ran down my spine as I could imagine walking down the Alter with him again.I tightened my fist as I caught sight of his broad smile once more; I was fully aware of the games he was playing, and it infuriated me.He was sending a message to Dominic, signaling his desire for a wedding while also trying to communicate something to him.I understood that he wanted Dominic to be aware of the renewal of our bond, especially since rumors had been circulating about our disagreement. The mafia was whispering that I had been coerced into returning to him, and some even claimed that Dominic was my lover.I had overheard this gossip from the maids in the mansion, who chatted away without realizing I was listening. I knew this situation wounded his pride as a man, which is why he aimed to silence the rumors by showcasing our relationship again in front of everyone.“How do you feel about this?” he asked, and I forced a smile, determined not t

A wedding to the enemyThat was what this was, that was what I had convinced myself it was.Dominic hadn't forgotten me; he was, in fact, coming to get me. I reminded myself of this as I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection, a veil draped over my face. My heart raced so fast that I felt overwhelmed with fear, which nearly paralyzed me.“You’re ready now,” Lily whispered, and at that moment, a tear rolled down my cheek. Lily's eyes widened as she reached forward, pulling the veil over my head as if to shield me from the designers bustling around the room.“Pull yourself together,” she snapped suddenly in a low tone, all while maintaining a smile. I knew she was trying to keep it together and wanted me to act like everything was fine.I couldn't afford to be seen crying; it could send the wrong message to the public and infuriate Ivan in the process.“We need to leave now; they are asking for a bride,” one of the ladies announced.Lily took my hands as we stepped out of

Charissa PovDominic entered like he owned the place, commanding attention from everyone around him. The atmosphere shifted as he walked in, elegance radiating from his presence. I stood there, watching Vincent's expression morph from amusement to sheer horror. My own shock mirrored his; my heart raced as I caught sight of him. His hair was tied back as usual, and his eyes scanned the room, searching for something until they finally landed on me. He gazed at me with a sense of longing, and for a moment, it felt like we were the only two people in the room, the rest of the hall holding its breath. I yearned to rush into his arms, but I knew that would only stir up trouble, and it might not end well for me.“What are you doing here?” A loud voice broke the moment, and I turned to see Ivan striding toward Dominic, his expression a mix of anger and frustration. The tension in the room was palpable; everyone felt it too.The atmosphere buzzed with chatter, a low hum typical of any grand

Charissa PovHis speech came across as if he had just emerged victorious from a battle, and I realized he was only trying to provoke Dominic. To him, this was merely a competition, and he believed he had triumphed.The reality was that he couldn't compel me to love him, regardless of his efforts, as my heart belonged to someone else—never to him.As soon as he released my hands, I tried to leave, but he stopped me.“What do you think you're doing?” he asked, his teeth clenched as he struggled to maintain a calm facade for the crowd. All I wanted was to scream that I needed to escape from him. “I'm just going to freshen up in the restroom,” I mumbled, averting my gaze from him to find Dominic's eyes fixed on me.“Make it quick; I want you by my side tonight,” he commanded, and I walked toward the bathroom. As I stepped out of the party hall, I took a deep breath and saw Lily beside me.“Hey, Ivan asked me to keep an eye on you,” she said, and I offered her a brief smile.“Thanks,” I
