His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful! 143
– Rachel Red –“Wait, what? You-You really have cancer?” The shock in Leo's face was unmissable when I told him that morning.These past days, he'd been busy so there wasn't really time to talk. When he finally visited, I said as much as I could with a tired smile on the entire time.“That's what the test results showed.” I tried to shrug it off so he wouldn't be so concerned, but Leo rushed over to grab my shoulders in a firm, but painless grip, pulling me to my feet. “Rachel, this is cancer we're talking about. Not a common cold or headache. Cancer.” He emphasized the one word like I didn't know the weight it carried.“Doctor says it's still in the first stage. I should be alright with a simple surgery.”“Rachel!”“What?”“Cancer? You really…?” He drew in a breath, running a hand through his hair. “You really have cancer.”Worry etched all over his face, and I had to hold his arm. “It's going to be all right. I've seen a lot about stage one cancer, the survival rate is high.”“But—

“Cassie's in a beach house?” David asked, brows furrowed in a way that told me he didn't know either.Trish looked like she'd forgotten how to breath, but quickly recovered herself, shoulders straightening as she cleared her throat.“Lisa, if you remember last time, I told you you're not welcome here, so I think it's time you leave.”There was a crease between my brows. “Where exactly is she, Trish?” It was a stupid question. After that one mistake, I was certain Trish won't say a word again.“I've told you, I don't know.”“You said you have no idea where she is.” David had a confused frown. “Now what are you saying about the beach house?”“It was a slip of tongue. Cassie's not called me, and you know that so how exactly would I know where she is?”“Why don't I believe you?”“Because you never do…” they started to argue, and I knew I wasn't getting any more information, so I got back into my car, started it and drove off, and didn't stop until I halted in front of Drex's building.He

That night, sleep was hard. So many thoughts ran through my mind. And when I finally dozed off, I had a dream about Cassie and Imogen. A really bad dream.I woke up to see I'd only slept for two hours, but that was all.I shook my head, frustrated because what the hell was going on? Was that how every night would be?It had been so many years since I felt threatened by her, but this was my child we were talking about.At the moment, I couldn't see myself handling this situation calmly. By six, it was starting to get bright outside, so I crawled out of bed, and went to the toilet to take a long shower.As the warm water ran down my hair to my body, all I could think about was Cassie being found.When I finished in the shower, I wrapped a towel around my wet body, then left the bathroom.I didn't know how long I'd spent bathing, but Drex was no longer in the room when I walked out.Before I could wonder where he was, he walked in as I dressed in one of his shirts.“Morning, babe.” He

“Kidnap? What do you mean?” My voice was low, but sharp.“I don't know, ma'am. She just asked me to give her Imogen.”“What the hell?!” I growled so loudly, Imogen flinched from where she had dozed off on the couch.I sucked in a breath, fingers dragging through my hair, the other hand moving to my hip as I stood. “What did she say? What does she want to do with her?”“I… I didn't ask. When my surprise on the money wore out, I just told her I wasn't doing it. There-There wasn't really the space to ask questions.”My jaw tightened so hard, it hurt.But that was the least of my concern as I started to pace.Cassie wanted to kidnap Imogen.She wanted to take my daughter away.The thought alone sent a wave of nausea. She could try everything else, but touching my child? My daughter? Heck, I swear I would make her regret it.“Why didn't you just call the cops?” I snapped, tone low and eerie.Irea flinched. “She disappeared before I could even call anyone… I'm so sorry, ma'am.”My lips purs

– Lisa Red –*You and Imogen should stay at my place tonight.*A smile pulled up my lips as I read Drex's message that afternoon.We hadn't seen each other since Saturday where we stayed at his house and his mom found out about Imogen.Kelesky had been a little emotional and clearly wanted to spend more time, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to put Imogen out there yet, so I didn't allow it.After she left, I had breakfast with Drex and Imogen, then we talked for a while, before I left back home, taking my daughter with me.We hadn't seen each other on Sunday, and I figured that I missed him more than I'd have expected.*And why should we?*His reply came almost immediately. *I guess I just miss you two already.* Then he sent another after. *And Imogen loved my house the last time, I'm sure she'll be excited to have a sleepover.**If it's a sleepover you want, I don't have to be there.**You have to. I want you near me. I always do actually, but you get the point 😉**You sure that's

– Irea –“Imogen will close from school soon. Go pick her up.” Lisa ordered that Monday afternoon.“Okay, ma'am.” Because tell me, what else could I say?With a short head bow, I left her office to mine where I grabbed my bag and went to my car.A small sigh left my lips as I hopped in, started the car and drove off to Imogen's school.Now, don't get it wrong, I liked my job. I mean, it paid me enough money. More than any job I'd ever worked.But when I did things like this —going to pick my boss's daughter— it became exhausting.Especially since this was ‘not' supposed to be a part of my job.But the moment Miss Red's daughter started school, I became her personal driver. Even when we were still in New York.Imogen was fun and all, but she was still my boss's daughter, which meant I had to treat her with a lot of respect.And believe me, that could be embarrassing.I steered into the parking lot and hit the brakes.I glanced at the time on my watch. Five minutes early.Still, I pushe
