Wooing My Ex-wife Again Novel by Natalie Winter
Chapter 9

wk late at night when I heard a knock on the door. Gulping r vously, I asked aloud.

“Who is there?”

But there was no reply. My danger senses tingled, and I looked and to grab something as a weapon. A knife I had used to

applex was lying on the breakfast table and I quickly grabbed it before walking towards the door.

I used to take a peek though the peephole, but something was covering it.

The knock came again, this time more persistent..

“Tell me your name,” I tried to keep my voice from shaking-

Nobody answered, but this time. I heard the doorknob turn from outside. I tried to stop it from turning, but before I could; the door flew open, and in front of me stood the man who once used to star in my dreams.

Julian looked the same as ever- handsome, sexy, and alluring. He had not aged a day, though it was five years since I last saw him

Five years since he brought another woman into his life and coldly told me I had to share him with someone.

Julian raised his eyes to look at me and the intensity with which he stared at me was both terrifying and enough to make my bones melt.

“What are you doing here? I have…”

I began, but before I could continue further; he stepped inside through the door and grabbed my hands, pushing them up and pinning them above my head.

“You have no idea what I want to do to you,” I heard his husky voice as he brought his lips near mine.

I struggled, but he had me pinned to the wall, caging me with his broad body.

“You are going to pay back for all the sleepless nights, anxiety, and stress I went through starting today. Your body, heart, and soul are mine. Just mine.”

I gave a start and I let out a yelp, shaking me awake. I looked around frantically, but Julian was nowhere around.

I had fallen asleep on the chair beside Lea as my little doll continued to sleep peacefully, unaware of the storm that was about to invade our lives. I wondered if this would be the last peaceful night I got to share with her.

I could have run away with her in the night, but I already had used all the money my father gave me to start a small event management company far away from the werewolves.

I did not have any money left to start over again. Plus, part of me was tired of hiding from Julian and living in the anxiety that he would replace me one day.

Today was the day it was finally going to happen. I had switched off my phone in the night out of worry, but there was no point in doing that anymore.

Knowing Julian, he must have found someone to trace it, though he was not very good with human technology. Werewolves had adapted to the comfort and luxury that the human mind brought and everything could be bought for money that Julian did not have a shortage of as far as I knew.

I heard his audible sigh of relief as he replied, “Thank God. I was worried if some stalker had followed you home.”

I shook my head and then realized he was not in front of me to see my nonverbal answer, so hastily added, “I am alright Nick and so is Lea. I will be there in the office in half an hour.”

Nick replied, “Sure then. See you soon.”

a disconnected the phone and took a quick shower before wearing a knee length skirt and a white blouse.

The doorbell rang, and I asked, “Who is there?”

“Lazzy, mam”

Lazry was Lea’s full time nanny who looked after Lea, fed her, helped her do homework, and also made up for my absence son numerous occasions. I paid a hefty salary to her, but it was worth it as I never found anything stolen from my house and Lea gut along with Lizzy pretty well, too.

However, today I was not ready to part with Lea knowing that Julian would arrive any second. So I opened the door and informed Lizzy.

“Today I have to take Lea out to make up for yesterday’s missed dinner. So she would be with me in my office. Consider it a holiday for you.”

She looked at me with concem.

“Is everything alright? Are you going to fire me for some mistake I made? Please don’t. I need that salary to pay my tuition

Lizzy clasped her hands together as if she were praying and looked at me with a guilty face.

“No nu, Lizzy. You are perfect for Lea. It is just that I feel guilty for not giving my daughter enough time, so I wanted to spend the day with her.”

I gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze and asked her to just relax or complete her school assignments. She left with a smile.

I counted that as a good start to the day and went to wake up Lei

“Time to rise and shine, little princess,” I murmured while pressing a kiss to her cheek.

She rubbed her eyes and replied, “I am still sleepy, Mummy.”
