Lahat ng Kabanata ng Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

It was difficult; I thought Ivan would keep me and never allow me to leave, but I was willing to take that risk to see my son. However, he kicked me out, and his men took my vehicle and left us there. I tried to run back, but I collapsed on the road, crying out in pain. Lily stood there watching me; I knew there was nothing she could do anymore. Ivan had blackmailed me, and seeing the look in his eyes made me believe that everything said about him was true. It hurt to know he had taken me away from my life, got me pregnant, and stole my son, only to blackmail me with him. I felt lost and didn’t know what to do. “Clarissa, we need to go before Dominic realizes you’re missing,” Lily called out, but I didn’t feel like leaving; nothing felt right anymore. “How can I continue living knowing my life has been taken from me? My freedom has been stolen, and the things I held dear have been snatched away. How?” I cried, holding my stomach in tears. “I know it’s hard, but what more can we

I noticed him freeze, his eyes locked onto mine, and everyone else's eyes widened. From the corner of my vision, I saw Aiden pulling Lily away by her hand, while the men walked off, presumably to give us some privacy.“What?” he asked, looking confused as he approached me.“I… feel safe with you… I feel like I belong here, like you’re my home. I went there to tell him…” I stammered, suddenly realizing what I was doing.I was about to back the truth with a lie. What if he never forgave me for this? How long could I maintain this deception, knowing it would eventually be revealed?He reached out and lifted my chin. As he gazed into my eyes, I could sense how much it meant to him to hear those words. “I’m sorry I was hard on you. I’m scared of losing you,” he said softly, and I looked at him with deep affection.I was right about one thing: I was falling for him, and there was no denying it. I loved it.“I’m sorry for being so reckless. I’ve been with Ivan for as long as I can remember,

The man’s eyes widened in shock, but he tried to argue. "Ma'am, I—"I cut him off, my gaze boring into him. Whatever he saw there must have convinced him, because he shut his mouth quickly, his horror plain on his face. "This way, ma'am," he muttered.Before he could lead me away, the doctor caught up, panting and red-faced. "Okay, time to go back to your room," he said, sounding far too pleased with himself as if this was some minor misunderstanding that could be easily solved.The man raised a hand to stop him. "Don’t worry, Doctor. I’m taking her home," he said, his tone final. The doctor hesitated, looking between us, but didn’t argue.I followed the mafia man out of the hospital, my bare feet slapping against the cold floor until we reached the garage. He stopped in front of a sleek black car and turned to me, a puzzled look on his face. "Aren’t you going to change?" he asked, gesturing vaguely at my hospital gown.I crossed my arms and glared at him. "No, I’m not. Take me back

A chill ran down my spine as I watched Dominic enter the room. His expression was devoid of emotion, leaving me unable to decipher what was going on in his mind.Fear gripped me, and anger surged through my veins. Lily, sensing the tension, excused herself, clearly not wanting to be caught in the middle of our conflict.I got up from the bed, realizing for the first time that I was still in my hospital gown, but it didn’t matter to me.I noticed the confusion and anger in his eyes as he looked at me."I trusted you," he said slowly. I held back my emotions while scanning him, memories of our life from a year ago flooding my mind. I wanted to scream about how much I had trusted him, but something stopped me.Did I really want him to know I was Eve?I understood that revealing my identity would mean he would never let me go. He would keep me against my will, and now that my memories had returned, I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay anymore.The only thing that mattered was getting my son bac

The truth was, I had loved him. I had loved him more than anything, and that love had blinded me to who he really was, to the destruction he had caused in my life. I had given him everything, and in return, he had betrayed me in the worst possible way.And now, as I lay there, sobbing on the cold floor, I knew that I couldn’t go back. I couldn’t be Eve anymore. I couldn’t be the woman who loved him, who trusted him, who believed in him. That woman was gone, and in her place was someone I didn’t even recognize, some one I couldn’t comprehend.I stayed there for what felt like hours, the weight of everything pressing down on me, suffocating me. And then, slowly, I forced myself to stand. My legs were weak, trembling beneath me, but I couldn’t stay on the ground any longer.I walked to the window, staring out, and I could see where the event had took place, and I felt horribe.my breath coming in shallow gasps as I tried to calm myself. My chest ached, my head throbbed, but I knew that I
