His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful! 117
I stayed in Drex's embrace for a long moment, savoring that sweet manly smell of his. It was enough to ease any bit of tension left in my body.By the time we pulled apart, his hand rested on my waist as we left the airport.I didn't know if he had forgotten about his flight, but I didn't tell him. At that moment, I didn't want him to be away.The last thing I wanted was to have to say goodbye right after confessing my feelings.We stopped by my car, and Drex pulled me in for another kiss.“There is no doubt that today's the best day of my life.” He mumbled against my mouth, sending chills down my spine.The good type.A small smile pulled up my lips. “Did you bring your car?”“No, my driver left after driving me here.”“So how're you going to get home?”He shrugged. “I have no idea.”Our lips were inches apart when I asked in a low voice. “You want to take my car?” I knew he could just stop a cab or something. Or even get his driver to come back, but I asked either way.A smirk pulle

“Wha— W-What?” Everywhere fell silent, or maybe that was just because my full attention was fixed on him.Our eyes met, and neither broke it.It seemed like everything around me disappeared… the people, the place, the automated sound… everything.All I saw was him.Drex. And the shock in his eyes.Slowly, my feet moved, each step drawing me closer to him. Closer to the man I loved so much, and didn't even realize.The one who managed to make my heart ache by being away. Someone who could make me insane just at the thought of him leaving.I stopped right in front of him, and for a whole second, we both just stared at each other.His face had so many emotions. Shock. Disbelief. Uncertainty. Confusion. Fear.“Lisa?” I sniffed as my eyes filled, and rubbed my nose with the back of my palm. “This is unfair, and you know that.”“Li—”“You were so confident when you said you'd fight for our love. When you promised to not lose me again.” I huffed. “Where did all that go?”“Wait,” he looked

My hand dragged into my hair.What the—? “What the hell have I done?!”I broke up with Drex. I ended things with him for no reason. I remembered the look on his face the day I told him to stay out of my life, and an instant discomfort landed.I stood and started to pace. “I need to talk to him. Heck, I need to clarify everything.”Without a second thought, I reached for my phone and instantly went through my contact list, but paused at his name.Because what would I even say? I'd ended things so harshly, how would I restore it?And what if he doesn't listen? What if he had forgotten about me and moved on?That was unlikely, yet I couldn't help thinking about it, and panic set in.I had to talk to him.This wasn't a time to start thinking about what to say. I just had to explain everything before it got too late.Which was why I dialled his number.Irea just watched me silently, and we both waited as it rang once. Twice. Three, four times… until I was led to voicemail."No no, why's h

The next morning, I woke up feeling empty inside (just like I'd felt these few days). I laid there in bed for ten whole minutes doing nothing, eyes locked on the ceiling.It took much effort to crawl out of bed, and walk barefoot to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and took a shower, then wrapped myself in a robe before waking Imogen and helping her get ready.We made breakfast together, ate, then got dressed, and we were on our way.I dropped her off at school, before heading for work.As ritual was, Irea came to meet me in my office to discuss my schedule for the day and I tried to distract myself with it.It didn't work.My chest felt heavy, and I wouldn't stop glancing at my phone to see if Drex had messaged. Or at least get any information on whatever was happening in his life.Where was he?How was he?I wondered if he was alright, because tell me how on earth I didn't hear a thing from him?Why hadn't he—?“Uh… Miss Red?” Irea's voice cut through my thoughts, snapping me

– Lisa Red –When I concluded, I walked past Drex and went inside.I told myself multiple times that this was for the best. That I was doing this to protect myself and Imogen.So why did my chest hurt badly? Why was my stomach so tightened? Why did breathing seem difficult?The second I closed the door behind me, my back pressed against it, and a drop of tear broke free against my will.I quickly wiped it as I slowly released a breath through my mouth, then took to fanning my eyes with my hand. “What on earth is wrong with you, Lisa? You didn't see this guy for five whole years, and you survived.”Why then did I feel this way?I hadn't even been with him up to five months, yet the thought of him walking away forever was giving me a headache.I shook my head. “This is just stupid.”For thirty whole minutes, I stayed by the door, chanting to myself how this was for the best. How I was doing it to protect Imogen.I said it so many times until I finally believed it.Or maybe I told myself

– Drex Drane –I gasped, loudly.“What?!” No.No no no no no.Shit, no!“Lisa, you can't do this to me.”“It's not about you anymore.” She snapped, sharp enough for me to take a step backI watched as her hand moved to her forehead, before dragging through her hair, then she stared back at me, and when she spoke, her tone held an emotion to it that made my heart squeeze.“It's not about you. Or me. Or even our emotions, Drex,” she sighed. “This… This is all for Imogen.”“What the heck?” I also took to dragging a hand through my hair, and didn't even realize when I started to pace back and forth, because this had to be a dream.It just had to.I refused to believe she was telling me to leave her life.To leave my daughter's life.“No.” I shook my head. “I didn't get to witness five whole years of her growth, Lisa… there's no way I'm going to miss any more second of it.”I paused in my step, “That is impossible.”She drew in a breath, and when our eyes met, I noticed how her shoulders
