Ex-Wife by Mirah Selim (paper ebook reader TXT) 📕

"There is nothing you can make right now Xander. You destroyed everything. I will never forgive you for this Xander. Never." Xander bit his lip from crying out when she refused to even look at him.

"Get out. Never show me your face again." She mumbled hurting him even more. He tried to say something but flinched away.

"I SAID GET OUT."

Flash Back End

Amelia stopped breathing for some time. Her body was paralysed in shock. He did that. Even if she tries. She could help but to feel an immense disgust for what he did to her.

While Xander was crying. Tears were kept on streaming down his eyes. Till this day he cursed himself for what he did every second. He had redeemed himself a long time ago. But no his heart refused to forgive him.

He refused his mind to forget the sin he had committed. To move on from the damage he caused the one he exclaimed to love. How can he say that he did everything because he loved her?

No. This is not the way you show that you love someone. His acts were nothing but poisonous. He ruined her. He snatched her happiness. But he wasn't ready to let that happen.

"I left from the place. I knew I have committed a grave sin. I wanted to comfort her. But how can I even think that she will find comfort in the same embrace who tormented her." He sobbed hard softening Amelia's eyes.

"But I refused to give up. I wanted to make everything right. I wanted to give her happy life back. I wanted to show her how deeply I was regretting the thing I did. I wanted to return her happiness to her. I couldn't tolerate the burden my heart was feeling after the things I had done. So after almost a week, I gathered Maxim's information. I got his address and went there to explain everything. I wanted to apologize and wanted him to apologize to her. I was ready to give up on everything just to see the same smile on her face again. I also decided to just leave the country after explaining everything to him."

He suddenly stopped making Amelia curious. She looked at him only to find him struggling to control his cries.

"But when I reached his house. I encounter something I didn't even in million years thought can happen. It was like a nightmare."

Flashback

Reaching Maxim's house Xander was surprised to see that no one stopped him from going inside. It was almost like they were having some kind of party inside.

As soon as he reached the doorstep he stopped hearing a familiar voice. It was Maxim. He followed the voice and it took him to the garden back yard. The garden was decorated too.

Xander left paralyzed on his spot when his eyes met the figure standing in front of Maxim. He was almost growling at her while there was a small child he was holding in his arms.

No way. It's not what he's thinking right. That can't be possible.

"I already told you to not show me your face again. Then why are you here? I already had lost a lot because of the fucking love I had for you. But now I am not ready to be a fool in love again."

Maxim snarled at the girl who stood there frozen stared at the kid in her lover's arms. The little boy stared at the girl with a confused gaze trying to understand why she was crying.

"Max. You. You lied to me. All this time. You had a son. And a w-wife. Y-you lied to me. How could you---" Maxim laughed shaking his head in disbelief.

"Lied. I lied. No Mia. I didn't. I was loyal to you. I wanted to divorce my wife when I met you. We were having too many arguments so we decided to break up. Yes, I never told you about my son but I wanted to when I decided to propose you. But you. You're the cheap one here. I should have known better than trusting a teenager desperate bitch. I should have never thought of leaving my wife for some whore like you. You---"

"YOU BASTARD," Xander screamed before grabbing his collar and was about to punch him but Mia grabbed his bicep.

He turned to her in disbelief but she shook her head motioning at the kid in Maxim's arms. Xander's eyes soften when he realized that how much he scared the kid. He left Maxim's collar and stepped beside Mia.

Maxim was ready to spit another rubbish but Xander held his hand up with warning in his eyes. Maxim slowly put his son on the ground and asked him to go inside.

"What are you two disgusting shits are doing here now. I have already reconciled with my wife. She hardly forgave me and accepted me. I don't want someone like you to destroy my family again. I-- fuck."

He yelped out when a hard punch landed on his face. Xander was burning in anger. He couldn't believe what this bastard had done. And all of that he dared to say that they destroyed his life when the truth is he destroyed an innocent girl's life.

No, both of them did.

"We destroyed your family? You bastard, you destroyed this girl's life when you decided to hide the biggest truth of your life. How could you even think that it's fine to fool a young girl and then after the truth come out? You will become a saint and she's to blame. Let me tell you the real truth. And I swear after this you will never be able to forgive yourself. Never."

"I lied. I lied that night. Mia never cheated on you. I was the one who was in love with her for years. I wanted her. I kissed her. Touched her. Without her consent. She was loyal to a lying bitch like you. I can't believe you didn't have the slightest trust in her. Whoever come and will lie to you about her and you will believe it. Is your love so weak that you don't have a little bit of trust in her?"

Mia said nothing. She felt like her soul left her body. She would have been happy if the truck of truth that hit her a while could have missed her. Her love had a son and a wife. And he lied to her. He said he was single. He said she was his first love.

How could he fool her like that? And how could she let herself be fooled for over a year? She should have known after how much of an age difference they had.
