Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Yonne , youre here Xanders voice broke through my spiraling thoughts , grounding me in the moment I nodded , offering a smile .

In the Parker family , Xander was the only one who had ever treated me with kindness .

But why would he suddenly call me and Hayden back ? Moreover , just moments ago , Hayden had been at the welcoming party how had he arrived here before me ! Before I could untangle my thoughts any further , Xander continued , Youve been away for too long .

Time to get back to reality .

Yvonne is a good girl , and you need to treat her with the respect she deserves His words were clearly directed at Hayden .

1 stayed quiet to the side , my gaze dropping to the floor .

After a moment , I heard Hayden respond in a flat tone .

Yes , Grandpa Hayden always seemed to go along with Xanders commands .

Even when Xander had insisted that Hayden marry me , he had been calm like this But just a day after our wedding , he left for another country and hadnt returned until now .

Frustration bubbled inside me , and I bit my lip , wanting to say something .

Just then , Xander spoke up .

Yvonne , Ive been craving those pastas you whip up .

How about you show me your culinary magic tomorrow morning ! Its getting late , so I have Luke get a room ready for you and Hayden.

You two should catch some shut eye I paused was he expecting Hayden and me to stay over ! Despite all the protests in my mind .

I took a deep breath and managed to reply , Okay , Xander Just as I stepped out of the study , the chill in Xanders voice cut through the air behind me So , how much longer are you going to keep that It seemed Xander knew about Joanna .

I sighed softly , realizing he was probably trying to set me up with Hayden .

But honestly , Hayden didnt muties to me anymore .

As the door clicked shut , the butler , Luke Mosley , approached me .

Mrs.

Parker , its been long since your grandfather and mother passed away Youve lost quite a bit of weight .

You really should take better care of yourself Thanks for your concern .

I murmured , nodding slowly as my gaze fell to the floor , But once I was alone upstairs and stepped into my floodgates opened .

Tears streamed down my cheeks , each drop carrying the weight of my sorrow .

room , the Two months ago , I had gone abroad to care for Hayden , who had slipped into a coma after an accident .

In my absence , I missed my mothers final moments , and upon my return , all that awaited me was a cold grave .

In less than a month , my father remarried .

Sophia moved in , bringing her son , Quinn Walton , into my home which now felt foreign and unwelcoming As the days passed , the truth began to claw its way to the surface , and I discovered my father had long been having an affair with Sophia .

But I had been so obsessed with Hayders that I hadnt even noticed the declining in my moms mood .

ה In what felt like the blink of an eye , my once luppy home had splintered , and only then did I realize that in loving Hayden , I had lost everything precious my life And what of him ! Instead of showing me compassion , he paraded his new romance in front of everyone , leaving me feeling utterly humiliated and discarded How foolish I had been sacrificing love , family , and even my own happiness for a man who showed me so little loyalty in return for over ten years .

But now , as the dust settled around me , I knew it was time to reclaim my life .

Hayden returned half an later .

His eyes , cold as ice , scanned me up and down , not a hint of warmth in them .

Its only been a year , and youve managed to win over Grandpa .

Youve really got some tricks up your sleeve! I frowned slightly , sensing the underlying accusation that I had confided in Xander about Joanna .

Did he think so little of me ! Anyway , it didnt mailer anymore .

I forced a smile and shot back , When are you planning to divorce me ? Surprise flashed across his face , but it was quickly overshadowed by the deepening darkness in his sunken eyes .

Yvonne , whats the angle here ! What gatur aur you running Bitterness churned in my heart .

I had once clung to him with desperate fervor , employing every tactie I could fathom to make him mine .

2:28 PM c Chapter 2 Naturally , he would suspect that I had ulterior motives for wanting a divorce now Dont you hate me ? I asked , my voice calm .

You have another woman now , so its only fair that I step aside .

My gaze met his with a newfound clarity , stripped of its former love , revealing instrad a vast ocean of sorrow .

He seemed to sense the change in me and looked at me with disgust .

Step aside ? By going crying to Grandpa while talking about divorce ! I dont have time for your foolish games .

Just stay where you belong , and the Parker family will take care of you for life .

With that , Hayden turned and headed to the bathroom .

I stood there , dazed , until the sound of water rushing from the tap broke the silence .

A deep sigh escaped my lips take care of me for a lifetime ! Right , back then .

I had married into the Parker family with the Jackson family business backing me .

Xander had said I would always be his granddaughter in law .

It seemed that Id first have to cam Xanders approval , before divorcing Hayden So , for tonight , Id have to make do here .

I grabbed a blanket , and curled up on the couch .

When Hayden came out , I played possum , pretending to be fast asleep .

In the darkness , I heard his footsteps linger for what felt like forever .

He probably couldnt believe that I , who once shamelessly climbed into his bed , was now the one giving him the cold shoulder .

The next morning .

I awoke hazily , surprised to find myself in bed .

I quickly glanced around … Thank God , Hayden wasnt there .

Otherwise , I could just picture him giving me a hard time for trying to sneak into his bed .

With a flicker of melancholy , I rose and headed downstairs to whip up breakfast for Xander before heading out .

My dad had called , asking me to come home later in the afiemoon .

As I approached the grand front door of the jackson residence , I I unexpectedly crossed paths with Sophia and Quinn Quinn was tall and well built , carrying his backpack over one shoulder like he didnt have a care in the world .

Id heard he was in college , a bit of a laner , not really into the whole social scene .

Our eyes met briefly , but we didnt say a word .

Suddenly , a soft hum of an engine broke the sullness , and a familiar car pulled up beside me .

It was a mare Rolls Royce , and when I caught a glimpse of the license plate , any heart sank was that Haydens car ? Before I could think it through , the car door swung open , and Joanna stepped out , followed closely by Hayden .

The moment our eyes locked across the distance , surprise flickered in their expressions .

Joanna , what brings you back ? Quinn , whod been silent until then , hurried over to her side .

My heart skipped a beat .

Quinn knew Joanna ? What was their relationship ? I came to see you , Joanna said softly , her eyes f flicking from Quinn to me .

Didnt expect to run into you here , Ms.

Jackson .

This is my h home , I replied , meeting her gaze e with a cool defiance .

Quinn leaned closer to Joanna and whispered , Moen married Yvonnes dad , Phillip .

As the day unfolded , I discovered that Joanna and Quinn were half siblings , both sharing Sophia as their mother .

What a twist of fate Joanna had taken my husbands heart , and her mother had done the same to my moms .

Just then , I felt a heavy gaze boring into me .

I pivoted to find Haydens piercing eyes locked onto mine .

1 was confused .

I was the one whod caught him and Joanna together , yet why did he look so angry ! Did he think I spoiled his night ? What a piece of work .

You remember this is the Jackson residence , right ? I challenged , a hint of deliance in my toe .

He probably indeed hadnt a clue after all , despite our marriage , hed never once stepped foot here .

Then again , he never cared about me or my Hayden frowned , his expression heavy .

But before he could respond , Joanna jumped in to his rescue .

I was eager to see my brother , and Mr.

Parker kundly offered me a ride .

Is this your boyfriend ? Quinn piped up , cutting through the mo monkent Joannas face turned to stone , and suddenly , the air grew thick with tension .
