All Chapters of Taming the Divorced Runaway Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 021ReeseI asked Enzo to bring me back home, so I was here again at my house, pulling my luggage out, when I heard a car pull up with a loud screech of brakes, followed by the slamming open and closing of a car door.My eyes narrowed when I saw Troy get out of his car.“Reese!” he called out, but I didn’t pay attention to him as I went on getting my stuff out of the house. “Reese, take back what you said in the office! I want you to tell them that you were lying!”"You wish!" I scoffed, rolling my eyes at him.He grabbed my shoulders and started shaking them. He was staring at me with those piercing eyes that had me enthralled from the moment I laid eyes on them, but now they were making me terrified of him.“No.” I swatted his arms away, shoving him aside, and staring back at him with a far more intense intensity.“I can’t lose my job, Reese!” he yelled, his face contorted in fury. “I recently got promoted at my job!”I gulped, bracing myself. The fact that the person in fro

Chapter 023ReeseIt was much like the good old days when Liza gave me permission to stay in her house. When we were still in college, we used to be roommates. However, this new house that she has purchased has three rooms, and she allowed me to occupy the empty room that was adjacent to hers. She said her stepbrother had given her this house as a gift on her 26th birthday.Liza owned a bar and restaurant, so she was the boss herself of her own business. It had been her dream since then because she enjoyed drinking and going to parties. She left a while ago and told me to look for something to eat for dinner in the fridge.As I arranged my belongings in the empty closet, I could still hear her voice in my head.''I never really liked Troy...'' she said after I told her everything that happened. She told me before that marrying him was a mistake. She'd seen something in him. Some indications that he never really loved me. But I didn’t listen to her. I listened to what my heart was tell

Chapter 025Reese''I believe that you also heard my answer to Liza when you made the decision to eavesdrop...'' I replied. ''So, I don’t have to answer your question anymore, right?''''I believe that you have also heard my sister’s opinion...''I pursed my lips for a moment before a bitter realization dawned on me. ''And that won’t change any of my decisions...''''Reese...''''Please Enzo, not now...'' I threw the bottle into the garbage bin and moved past the island he was sitting at, but I was taken aback when he suddenly grabbed my middle arm and forced me to face him.''Divorce him and marry me, Reese...''''What?''''I said, marry me, but divorce him first. I’ll pay you twenty million dollars. Just agree to become my wife...'' he stated, which caused my mouth to gape open in disbelief.Twenty million dollars? That was a huge amount of money. I could buy whatever I wanted with that money!But I can’t do whatever I want because I will be tied to Enzo for the rest of my life.Wai

Chapter 027Reese''I thought you were going to introduce me to the woman you want to marry?'' Liza asked her brother, and I almost coughed, watching her twirling her fork with her pasta. ''What’s her name again? Candice?''Candice? I thought...''Yeah. She’s kinda busy right now...'' Enzo’s words sparked a twinge of jealousy rising up inside me. ''I’ll bring her here some other time...''He asked me to marry him, and now he was telling us that he's marrying another woman. What a moron!''But the question is, will she be able to meet your grandma’s expectations?'' Liza chuckled, pushing a glass of orange juice in front of me, smiling at me.His grandma? Perhaps the only people who wanted Enzo to get married were those on his mother's side.Enzo glanced at me, and he might be able to tell that I was feeling uneasy because he cleared his throat. I just declined his offer of marrying him. I had no idea he was planning to marry another woman.''Grandma will agree with whichever girl I bri

Chapter 029ReeseWe were already seated at the table that Enzo had reserved earlier. His intense gaze became inevitable as he flickered his eyes at me, glinting with amusement when I rolled mine at him.He was interrupted by Liza’s loud sigh, and then she glanced up at both of us.''Sushi’s your favorite. I’ll order it for you...'' he told Liza, who tilted her head at me, as if asking what I wanted to eat.But then I remembered that one time, I read books about pregnancy, since I had always dreamed of having a baby. I had learned that raw fish wasn’t good for pregnant women.I signaled Liza not to order it, and I was thankful she clearly understood what I was trying to say.''Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood for sushi right now...'' she shook her head, and Enzo arched a brow at her in response. ''Well, I... Reese doesn’t want the smell of raw fish...''Liza leaned back against her seat with a calm expression as Enzo moved his gaze back to me, and I smiled at him.''I’m sorry...
