Chasing My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 61

She stood by and watched as his car drove off and almost immediately, she saw Debbie’s car pull up into her driveway.

Once her car was well parked, She got down and ran towards Hailey, hugging the hell out of her.

“Gosh, I missed you so much. There is no way I am letting you leave me again.”

Hailey chuckled as Debbie pulled away from the hug.

“You were the one who shooed me away and told me one week was nothing.”

“Yeah, I thought it was going to be nothing. But it was hell!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“And I promised myself I wasn’t going to call while you were away cos I wanted you to bond with your man.”

“I just couldn’t wait until tomorrow to see you, that is why I have been tracking you from the airport.”

“Let’s go in. You are going to tell me everything that happened.” Debbie reached for Hailey’s hand and pulled her in.

They got to the living room, and both sat beside each other on the sofa, with Debbie facing Hailey, grinning at her.

“You are glowing.”

Hailey blushed. “Of course, I have to glow. I just got back from another country.”

Debbie shook her head. “Not that type of glow. You and Cole….”

Hailey blushed even harder before Debbie could complete her statement.

“God!!!! Finally!!! I’m so happy for you both.”

“Lower your voice. You are going to wake your godsons.”

“Don’t you dare try to stop me from celebrating? I am sure my boys are fast asleep.”

“How was it? Who made the first move?”

“You are not about to ask for every detail of what happened, right?” Hailey asked shyly.

Debbie shook her head. “I respect you and Cole too much to be prying into you all’s privacy. I just want to know who made the first move.”

Hailey shrugged, still smiling. “It just happened. I don’t know how but it just happened and now we are good.”

“Everything feels right to me and I don’t regret it. For the first time in my life, I felt I had the kind of family that I craved for. The kids were happy. Cole took care of us and a part of me wished the week wasn’t over. He assured me that we would be having another mini vacay very soon.”

Debbie intertwined her hands with Hailey’s own and gave it a light squeeze. “I wish you could experience what I feel in my heart right now. I am so happy for you, Cole, and the twins.”

Thank

you for actually motivating me to go on the trip. You helped two stubborn lovers fix things up.”

“No, no, I’m getting no credit. You all did that shit yourselves. I’m just so excited for you all.”

“So does that mean we are getting a baby soon?” Debbie grinned.

to pick up our sweethearts from school. I’m so sorry I’m going late. The meeting took longer but I’ve cleared my schedule for the rest of the day. I will be having lunch with them, then we will be visiting the park. I love you and I miss you, take

care.

By the time Cole was done recording the voice note, he was already by his car. He sent the Voice message to Hailey, then got into the car, driving straight towards his children’s school.

Almost 15 minutes into his ride, Cole heard siren noises close to him. He maintained his speed limit but was surprised when the car pulled in front of him.

Hailey was trying to make sense of the documents she was reading when her phone buzzed on the table. She smiled before reaching for it, hoping it was Cole.

The smile on her face reduced a bit when she came face to face with the caller ID, confirming it was another person.

“Hi boo!”

“Hailey, where are you?” The worried voice came through, making Hailey frown.

“What’s wrong? Everything okay?”

“Do you have access to the TV? Check the news.”

Hailey rose to her feet, went to the entertaining area of her office, picked up the remote, and turned on the TV. She switched

in the station to the news and her heart fell at the headlines and the video that played on the screen. Painful tears welled her eyes.

up

It was boldly written on the headline that ‘Famous Billionaire, Cole Matthis, is being arrested for Assault and Attempted Murder against his pregnant Fiancee, Vanessa Summers.

What hurt Hailey the most was seeing the Police handcuff Cole and toll him into their vehicle.

Hailey had no idea when tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Babe, are you there?” Debbie’s worried voice came through.

“Yes!” Hailey sniffled, wiping tears with the back of her hand.

“What are we going to do?” Debbie asked.

“Please help me pick up Ollie and Enzo from school. They are gonna ask you questions because they are expecting their father to pick them up and take them out for fun. So please, come up with a good excuse for us. I don’t want them to suspect anything.”

“Okay, I will handle it. What about you? Are you okay? Do you need me to come over?”

“No! I cannot continue to remain quiet while the evil people in my life continue to mess with me. Vanessa just crossed the line by messing with my family and I am going to teach her a lesson she’s gonna regret for life.”

“Please be careful, Hailey. That lady is a manipulative witch. She sets people up and then acts as the victim in the story. Please be calm. I’m sure we are going to get this sorted. We will prove that she is lying and Cole will be set free.”

“No! I’m not going to take this the soft way. I am going to take laws into my own hands. Domestic violence is a big deal in this country and she literally just trashed Cole’s reputation.”

“Vanessa has been bullying me all my life and I am ready to put an end to it all. I have tried so hard to overlook everything

but I can’t anymore because as long as we are both alive, neither of us can experience happiness so one person has to die. It definitely can’t be me so it has to be her. Today’s gonna be an eye for an eye.”

“Hailey.”

“I will be fine. Please just keep my children safe.” Hailey ended the call before Debbie could say anything else.

She went over to her desk, picked up her car keys and phone, stuffed them into her handbag, and stormed out of her office.
