Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex wife, let's give our love a second chance.: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Fabian's POV.For the first time, in my own house, I feel uneasy. As I walk down the stairs, the only thing I think of is how to face My wife.Even though she did me dirty first-only God knows how many times-but I can't shake off the weight of fear in my chest.I meet an empty kitchen as I step inside, which is unlikely but that's not the problem, my gaze lands on the paper, and I see she's already signed it. I thought she was going to make things difficult for me, that's why I brought my secretary to spite her. It worked. I shouldn't feel bad. She cheated first. She violated our vows and made a fool out of me publicly. I tried to give her a chance she didn't deserve but she didn't want it, she still wanted to lie. Keeping me in the dark about her escapades. I've released my hold on her wings. She can fly the way she wants now. I'll not hold her down anymore.I go to the coffee machine and make a quick coffee. It took me summoning so much courage to come out of my room this morning,

Pearl's POV.My brother insisted that I enjoyed my last ‘Normal’ weekend with him, so we snuck out to his penthouse that was located in the suburbs of town. He said it was his hiding place, away from Dad and the rest of the world.He said my Dad doesn't know about this place, which is shocking to me. My brother has his ways of getting away with things. He was coming to see me for seven years and he was never caught. The contract came earlier than I expected and some of the rules my father added were mean, things like; I wasn't allowed to use any of the family properties, like jets, houses, anything that belonged to the Hughes family without his consent or permission. It's not like those rules mattered to me. I've lived like that for seven years and here I am, breathing, living. Why can't I do it here? I just felt a little awkward when I saw the phrase in the contract. I'll live like a stranger in my own home.“I can't remember the last time I did this,” I say. The scorching sun heate

Fabian's POV.“Welcome sir,” My secretary greets me as I head back to the office.I just wave her off.“Is everything okay, Sir?” She asks following behind me.I snap my neck at her, “I'm good,” The firmness in my voice makes her flinch back in fear. I walk through the door of my office. My cheek is still hurting from the slap my wife gave me.I don't know who is stealing the air in my lungs or is my tie trying to strangle me, I angrily pull off my tie and toss it to the side.She has no remorse, did she even love me? She moved on so fast! I can't walk freely in my house without seeing her everywhere. In my head, in the kitchen, on the bed, our separation has taken a toll on me. And she doesn't even seem to care! I cough, I quickly get my handkerchief and clean off the blood off my mouth. I take out my pills from my pocket, throw them inside my mouth, gulp some water from the water bottle and swallow.I hear a knock and I look up, when i see who it is I look back down, “Hello, you'v

Pearl's POV.The past couple weeks haven't been all rosy, but I could cope. Even when my dad gave me overload, difficult tasks to handle, I smashed it.Told myself that if he wants to see me fail he'll wait forever. I didn't faint when I was told I'll be making my first public appearance with Philip as his girlfriend. Not like I cared about what Fabian would think of me, he'd already called me a liar and a cheat. I wasn't just comfortable with the idea for my own sake.But now, looking at Him, in his arms the same secretary that he brought to our bed, I'm having murder thoughts. And if I ground my teeth harder than this I may not have one by the end of today.“Here,” Philip comes in front of me blocking my view of Fabian, he hands me a glass of wine, the bastard is too busy chatting with his assistant he doesn't even realize I'm staring at him. I immediately gulp the wine.“Woah, woah, woah, You're not supposed to drink that at once,” “I'm sorry,” I berge. Philip grimaces. “Are you

Pearl's POV.I'm told that my Dad went on a sudden business trip, I know that's the reason I'm still breathing. But my heartbeat sounds like a ticking bomb and I'm just living, waiting for my death. Thank God for this mysterious trip though, now I wouldn't have known what would be my fate, given how much my name is being slandered. Now, I'm thanking God that I'm not bearing my family name, because what people are saying in the media, I can't even look at. I had to stop myself from looking after the gruesome comment I saw under a post. I know that's the part where my Dad will say he was right and I'm not used to such attention, I need to keep my head straight.“Ms. Claudia,” I say to our housekeeper as she comes out of the kitchen. “Yes, Dear,” She turns to face me.“Did my Dad mention when he'll be coming back from his trip?” “No, Dear,” She answers. Her stomach tightens, that's gonna be a real problem.“It's alright, Thank you,” I grab my bag. I have to catch the bus so I don't go
