Chased by my Ex Husband novel Chapter 7

Grace

The sudden kiss startles me. But I regain my senses quickly and bite his lips, hard.

Ethan groans and pulls away. “ What the— ”

My knee hits his crotch. Instantly, his hold loosens around me as he cups his treasure and bends down.

Taking this chance, I grab my bag from the bed and hurry towards the door.

“ You— ”

“ Don’t take me lightly, Ethan Calder. ” I seethe, and pause in the doorway.

His face turns red with pain. A little part of my heart still aches when I see him like this. But I tuck it away.

I won’t fall for him again. Not in this life!

With the back of my hand, I wipe my lips that taste like him. “ Don’t disgust me with your touch. You are filthy, Ethan. A terrible man. ”

“ You—You will pay. ” He hisses through his teeth.

Before he can straighten up again, I rush out of the hospital room.

I know the kind of crazy Ethan Calder can be. The city is scared of the man who is the King of the Calder Empire.

Being alone with him, after he has disregarded everything is dangerous.

“ Catch her! ” I hear him roar to his men.

What does he want now? He killed my child and is getting the divorce he so desperately wants. Why is he after me then?

I huff, getting out of the hospital. Several men clad in black suits surround me from all sides.

People halt in their way and record the scene on their phones.

“ Mrs. Calder, please come back with us. Boss wants you there. ” Ethan’s assistant, Josh steps ahead and says sternly.

“ Tell him to go to hell! ” I scoff and tighten my grip on my bag.

“ You leave us no choice than to take you back by force. ” He gestures towards the other men, giving them the green signal to start dragging me.

They hesitate for a moment. Until recently, I was their young Madam, the only woman their Boss cherished and pampered. Now, I was to be treated like cattle.

“ What are you waiting for? It’s Boss’ order. ” Josh snaps.

They progress towards me. I glare at them.

“ Don’t you dare— ”

I freeze when several men come running from the opposite direction. They are clad in expensive black suits, just like Ethan’s men but they are bulkier and look scary. Like a bunch of gangsters, with tattoos and scars.

“ What’s happening? ” I murmur.

“ Ms. Grace. Our Boss is waiting for you in his car. Please follow us. ” One of them turns to me and says politely.

“ Boss? Who? ” I frown.

He doesn’t reply, just waits for me to start walking.

“ Mrs. Calder. Boss is still waiting for you to come back to the hospital room. ” Josh’s loud voice reaches my ears.

I look at him, then at the men who are facing each other. It’s like a scene from a movie where a gang war is about to unfold.
