Love me again, Dear Ex-Wife! Chapter 1 The Night That Changed Everything

Kayla's POV

A deep frown settled on my forehead accompanied by a tightened fist to keep my emotions in check. But how long would I be able to do that? I was completely shattered inside.

My eyes were red-shot, but my black shade did well to hide it. I couldn't hold myself back as I blew my nose into the little piece of fabric I held in my hand.

Since Grandma Helen died, it was as though a huge part of me had gone with her.

Grandma was my life savior. She was like my guardian angel sent to me in my time of need. If not for her many years ago, I have no idea where I'd have been by now.

Grandma Helen had been in the mortuary for three months now following Liam's order and today was the day she'd finally be laid to rest

Hot tears welled up in my eyes, growing into an intense cry.

Just then, a voice came behind me.

"You don't have to cry so much Kayla, grandma Helen was already so old, it was time for her to die and God already tried for her, she lived till 97, get a hold of yourself." That was Ellie; Ethan's wife. She had always been like that when it comes to Grandma Helen. But I couldn't believe she'd say such a thing at her funeral.

I refused to spare her even a glance as tears continued to stream down my eyes.

I already missed Grandma so much and in severe pain, how could Ellie say such things? No wonder they never got along when she was still alive.

Several minutes later, the burial ceremony was over. Grandma Helen had gone to the other side of the world. Leaving me behind.

With more tears dripping down my face I waved her my final goodbye. And finally, I was ready to leave.

My eyes looked around the crowd, searching for that one person, but it seemed he didn't attend his own Grandmother's burial. Or might I say he didn't wait for it to be over before he left. As I had seen him here earlier.

I shook my head and made to finally take my leave now, but just as I was about to come out of the cemetery, my eyes caught on someone who made my heart skipped several beats, and a huge amount of adrenaline released into my being.

How dare she come here? Grandma Helen even hated her.

It was Lyra, Liam's mistress. Liam named her his childhood friend, but they had done so many despicable things that broke me many times. All the while still referring to her as 'just his childhood friend'

Grandma Helen had no idea what her Grandson had been doing to me in our marriage. What was the point telling her? It'd have only added to her worries, she was already old and battling high blood pressure. I wouldn't want to kill my grandma Helen with my marital problem. Hence I kept it all to myself.

If she knew, she'd have scolded him, but would that change anything? The answer was no as Liam would never let Lyra go.

It was as though Lyra were a part of Liam, someone he could never do away with. Even at his office when Grandma Helen had sent me there some months ago, I met them almost into each other's skin, leaning into each other so intimately they could be misunderstood as husband and wife.

Well, my marriage to Liam was arranged by Grandma Helen. But I had always loved Liam. The first time I met him after he came back from his studies abroad, I fell in love with him.

His masculine nature had me in rage and even till today. Liam was not just handsome, but gorgeous. He had me drooling over his blue eyes and his entire body.

Liam was well built, his muscled chest protruding out through his shirt, and his cologne had my whole being melting at his sight. I needed him, I wanted him. Every night I go to sleep with him on my mind.

Then I told myself if I could have this man then I've gotten everything I needed in life. Even in the day, I dreamt about Liam. I got lost so many times at the sight of him and Grandma Helen would call me back from my reverie.

Only to wake up one morning and she announced my marriage to Liam. I had made it in life. I couldn't sleep for days. I was marched in delight and extreme happiness.

Even though Liam didn't seem to like me that much or wasn't that pleased with me as his wife-to-be, I believed I was going to make him love me with time.

I wasn't that bad myself. I was petite, had hazel eyes and my skin was just as perfect. I had a round face, a flat tummy, and a body that could be described as perfect.

But five years later, he hasn't even gotten a bit close to me to think of ever developing any feelings for me.

All I could remember in our five years of marriage was how he went around with his childhood friend, who, of course, was his mistress.

Liam had done nothing but make me feel outrageously alone in our marriage.

Growing up, my moment of great bond and beautiful life was cut short when I lost the most important people in my life to the cold hand of death. How I survived it was still a mystery to me and everybody who witnessed it.

Fifteen years ago, on a Saturday morning, I clocked eleven _ it was my birthday. Even though I didn't want a big celebration, my parent were adamant on taking us out for a big birthday party. If I had known it was going to claim their lives, I'd have refused at all costs.

I and my two brothers were seated at the back seat of our Lexus, with my parents at the front conversing happily. Time seemed to freeze as my parents suddenly became quiet, inside the car was filled with tension and anxiety as I raised my head to see Dad floundering to evade the huge gigantic trailer hauling its way towards us.

It sped as though it was on a mission to crush us all. Just as my instinct predicted, I watched as my whole family lay lifeless before my very own eyes within a split second.

I had blood dripping down my forehead as I managed to crawl out, coughing profusely while crying for help on the deserted road, all the while my body shaking from trauma.

My wailing voice rolled until the paramedics arrived.

My parents and my two siblings were pronounced dead on the spot.

In a twinkle of an eye, I had lost everyone in my life, including my two lovely brothers. My playmates. Everyone in my life were gone.

After the burial of my parents and my brothers. I had refused to leave the funeral home. All I did every day was cried my eyes out till I was almost blinded by tears. As if that even matters to me, I just kept crying until an old woman came to me.

Seemed she wasn't around at the time of the burial and had just arrived to pay her respects.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
