Chased by my Ex Husband novel Chapter 5

Grace

“ Who is he and what is he doing here? ” Ethan stalks towards me and grabs my arm harshly.

Forcefully, he sits me up in the bed and gives me a violent jolt. “ Is he the father of the bastard that you miscarried? ”

“ What?... ” My heart hardens.

“ You were planning on dumping that child on me, right? But you are a fool to think that I will believe you are carrying my child after the whole world saw what kind of a woman you are! ” He laughs humorlessly. “ It’s good that the bastard died! ”

Slap!

I slap him across his face. His eyes show confusion before anger takes over.

“ How dare— ”

“ Call my child that one more time and I will murder you, Ethan Calder! I will trample all over you and show you what happens when you mess with my Baby! ” I scream, pointing my trembling finger in his face.

I want to hurt him so badly. My hands itch by my side as he glares down at me, the confusion lingering in his eyes.

“ You— ”

“ Shut up! ” I shriek, hitting his chest with my fists. “ Shut your stupid mouth, Ethan! You are a fool, an idiot who believed that bitch Lily and killed your child. You idiot! ”

He grabs my hands and pushes them on my side forcefully. “ what did you say? ”

I glare back, equally hateful as him. “ You know what! You deserve her! A heartless man like you deserves a cunning bitch like her! You two suit each other. I hope she sucks you dry and leaves you to die on the road. ”

“ Don’t you dare insult Lily! She is your sister. How can you be so disrespectful towards her? ” Ethan looks conflicted, his voice betraying the shock.

He must have not expected me to talk back like this. I know he was waiting for me to cry and beg him to believe that the baby was his.

How ironic!

All my devotion went to hell after he saw a few manipulated pictures. But I don’t even find it surprising anymore.

What’s surprising is that...I am done. I don’t feel anything now that I look at him but a memory keeps revolving in my head.

He pushed me. He caused the miscarriage. He left me to die.

I whisper through my gritted jaw. “ Sister? ”

“ Grace—”

“ She is nothing to me anymore. And you, Ethan Calder, are nothing! Congratulations, you did it! I hate you. I hate you with every fiber of my being. Bring me the divorce agreement right now so I can free myself from scum like you. ” I jerk my hands out of his cold hands and push at his chest.

“ You will sign the divorce? ” His eyes twitch. “ is this a trick to get me to change my mind? ”

I can’t help but laugh. He wanted the divorce before, but now, instead of running to get it, he is asking me if I am joking? What an idiot!

“ You killed your child, Ethan. ” I whisper, pain erupting in my heart all over again. “ Your child, do you get it, stupid man? After what you did, do you think I want anything to do with you? ”

“ What happened was unfortunate, Gracie. But don’t blame Ethan anymore, please. It was my fault. ” Lily rushes inside the room and grabs Ethan’s arm. “ besides, you slept with so many men...how can we be sure that it was Ethan’s child? ”

“ Yes, it’s your fault. So go cry somewhere else. Get your filthy face out of my sight! ” I yell, earning a shocked look from her.

She must not have expected this either. But she should know. This time, they did it. Now, the Gracie they knew has died with my child that they murdered.
