Serina's Pov

As my driver carried my luggage out, I spared the living room a last glance to make sure I didn't forget anything before stepping out of the house to join him in the car.

As the car pulled out of the parking lot and tore through the road, I stared out of the window. As my eyes wandered around, taking in the view, a strange feeling of unease settled in my stomach. After this business trip, I would be following Austin to thanksgiving in the next two days and I didn't know how to feel

  • Chasing Back My Pregnant Ex-Wife    20- Time up, Mr Nikolai

    Serina's PovI shouldn't be doing this. But I had agreed to follow Austin to his parents’ home for Thanksgiving. Not getting home today would mean disappointing him. Explaining what had happened wouldn't even matter, when he would have the impression I had bailed because I didn't want to meet his parents. Upon entering the bar, the first thing I was grateful for was that the place wasn't banging with music, the kind that could made my stomach turn. Everything was kept in place. The people there seated peacefully just conversing and gobbling down drinks. I sighted Nikolai leaned against the bartender’s counter and my shoulders inched up. Let's get this done and over with.“This only lasts thirty minutes.” I grumbled under my breath as I reached him. He didn't blink, didn’t refute and no trace of guilt in his face either. Just a smirk that sealed my fate.He looked away, and as he started to address the bartender, I totally ignored the seat at the corner and occupied the last seat, so

  • Chasing Back My Pregnant Ex-Wife    19- Grab A Drink Together

    Serina's Pov “Austin and I? How could you even…” I was on the verge of refuting when I realized I had no reason to explain myself to him. “It's none of your business.” While he stared at me, dumfounded, I swirled around and finally went inside my lounge. Not sparing him as much as a glance. The moment the door closed behind me, I heaved a sigh of relief and took off my heels. I put it aside and laid on the bed before any other thing. With a mental note to myself to get in the shower after taking a little nap, I allowed myself to close my eyes. By the time I opened it, a soft ray of light was streaming into the room through the curtain. Don't tell me it was already daybreak? I gasped as I sat up and checked my phone. There was about twelve missed calls, four of them from my driver, Ethan and two from Austin. It was also past ten in the morning. That was how long I had slept. Still in awe at how I had been able to fall asleep easily, talk more of sleeping for long, I hurried out

  • Chasing Back My Pregnant Ex-Wife    18- Is He The Reason?

    Serina's Pov I didn't move. I stood rigidly there for what seemed like an eternity before I shook my head, snapping back to my senses. Whatever this was, I didn't care, never would. I turned my face, pretend to casually go on about my day like I hadn't seen something bothering, when my legs crashed into a flower case I hadn't realized was on the way. I couldn't hold back the pain that instantly coursed through me and winched. When I realized I had made a mistake and Nikolai might hear, I covered my mouth but not only was the sound already out, the flower vase had lost its balance. Although it didn't crash, it fell on the floor, loud enough that it echoed in the hallway. And then, there was silence. I gnashed my eyes shut, my hands tightened by my sides. I considered taking off, heck, I had already taken a step forward but then I froze, like a deer caught in the headlights. It was already too late. Behind me came the person that wasn't supposed to see me. The thud of hi

  • Chasing Back My Pregnant Ex-Wife    17- Was this real?

    Serina's PovI didn't answer. For the first time, I looked unsure.Nikolai had spoken with so much seriousness, no trace of deceit in his words and still, I didn't know if to trust him or even how to. For all I know, this could be a trap set by him. I never forgave him and refused to go back to living with him. He must have been frustrated, unable to wait any longer so this could as well be some plot he came up with to achieve his goal. “I appreciate that you're trying to help me,” I started, pushing back the small part of me that wanted his protection. “But if your mother comes, if I told her I didn't want to return to your abode, I'm sure she would understand.” I told him even though I wasn't really sure what Mrs. Romano would and wouldn't do. A feeling of unease crept up my skin at the thought and as I gripped my handbag tighter, I realized something. I was speaking. I was no longer gasping for breath. It dawned on me his hand had slipped off. He was faltered and I took the cha

  • Chasing Back My Pregnant Ex-Wife    Until You Want Me Back

    Serina's PovAs my driver carried my luggage out, I spared the living room a last glance to make sure I didn't forget anything before stepping out of the house to join him in the car.As the car pulled out of the parking lot and tore through the road, I stared out of the window. As my eyes wandered around, taking in the view, a strange feeling of unease settled in my stomach. After this business trip, I would be following Austin to thanksgiving in the next two days and I didn't know how to feel about that. I was just someone he took in and gave shelter. I'm afraid going with him to see his parents was a big step and not as casual as he might have thought it was. Moreso, I was pregnant. What if they saw me and come to conclusions? I sighed into my palm. I was helpless at this point. There was no going back, but maybe after getting through this, I would be able to summon the will to tell him about my plan to find a place of my own. In some way, I knew it was going to give Austin more

  • Chasing Back My Pregnant Ex-Wife    15- Don't Want To Be Found

    Serina’s PovHe left. He was finally gone but why do I still feel that hollow ache in my chest? As if my heart could burst out anytime soon? I leaned against the door but the next moment, I slumped down onto the ground. I felt empty, weak and angry at the same time. I never thought I'd see Nikolai's face again. Or that he'd come finding me in regret. I saw the look on his face when he noticed my stomach bump. At first the expression on his face was shock, and then surprise– probably at the fact I never aborted but kept the baby. I took in a shaky breath and stood up from the ground, hurriedly making my way inside my room. Once I got there, I dumped down all the clothes inside my closet and began to pack them in my travelling suits. My shoes and jewelry weren't left out. He might have gone now, but his sudden appearance brought back forgotten memories and reopened the scar that I thought had long healed. To myself, chasing him out like I just did might be a final farewell but I

    One Month Later "Mr. Davis, listen. As much as the bills are settled, we shall provide the perfect luxurious materials for your wedding." When the call ended, I sank back against the swivel chair, and sighed heavily thinking I could finally get a minute to myself when the door opened, and my assi

    I stirred away from the bright sunlight penetrating my eyes and then it struck. I was in heaven. No one needed to tell me I had it my way, for once. I shook my head, at the thought that I finally escaped the world's mess and was now in paradise. What got me shaking my head, once again, was how amusi

    "What are you doing here?" Gwen barked and my head sank in shame. Even if I wanted to change my mind, it was too late. I already signed the divorce paper so there was no going back for me now. Moving out of the Romano's mansion was my biggest mistake. It was evident from how Nikolai agreed to the di

    "The runaway thief returns. How does it feel to be back home?" Nikolai laughed sarcastically, his composure leaving me speechless. Dragged from the airport and back to the mansion, I don't expect he had even wanted to see me. As per my crime, I won't put it past him to throw me in the hands of the
