The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 47: Unforgivable Nicole raised her brow, “What are you doing? Get to your feet and tell Jackson I am here!”

However, the guards merely lowered their heads apologetically, not following the tantrum she was throwing. Nicole folded her arms in a huff and pulled out her phone in anger. If these guards found out that Jackson had been declining her call, it would be a laughingstock. Figuring out a way to get inside, she called someone after messaging him.

“Speak, Jackson. Your guards didn’t want to let me in causing me to stay outside in the sun. How long are you going to keep me stuck here?”

The guards eyed each other, frowning since Nicole had blamed them for obeying their master’s order. They didn’t budge, hesitant of actually believing her. But she put the call on speaker, allowing them to hear the man’s voice.

[“Let her in.”]

Nicole lifted her brow, urging the guards while stating that they both did her wrong. Without choice, they opened the gate and allowed her inside. Though they felt that there was something wrong with the voice of their master, they couldn’t defy him as they were merely his guards.

Heading inside the house, Nicole smirked.

“I told you it will work. Where are you?”

[“Where else? I am just clubbing here and there. Don’t tell me you’re still fed up with Jackson?”]

Nicole halted in her tracks, pursing her lips. “What do you mean? Jackson is my destined man. He is someone who could give me everything I want.”

The man sighed, [“I told you repeatedly I am here. Why don’t you believe me?”]

The voice on the other side sounded helpless yet at the same time frustrated. Nicole clenched her fists, furrowing her brows.

“You can’t give me what I want.”

[“I can. I love you…”]

“Lance,” Nicole sighed, “This is the last time I’ll call you. Farewell.”

[“Wait, Nicole-“]

Nicole lowered the phone and deleted the number right away. She raised her chin towards the house where she frequent way back which had become foreign to her all of a sudden. Her feelings for Jackson were inclined to dependency and the benefits of marrying him.

Besides, ever since she was young, Linda had taught her that everything is just under her palms – it’s just how she played them and entrap them to possess.

Nicole couldn’t particularly say that she loved Jackson for who he was but for the security, wealth, and power she would garner in exchange for genuine love.

“Who let you in?”

Before she could take a step forward, Jackson coldly spoke behind her. Nicole cracked a smile, turning around to face him. She hadn’t seen him for the past two months and if they had, he would always walk past her, therefore having the lack of communication.

She approached him, intending to hold his hand which he dodged skillfully.

“Who let you in?” he asked, this time with a colder and intimidating voice.

Nicole pondered for a while, “… We haven’t seen each other for a while, Jackson. I missed you.”

Jackson touched his forehead. He stayed all night to protect Airina, remaining outside her gate to ensure that the same man who had scratched his hand wouldn’t return. He even accidentally fell asleep but then bought ginseng and coffee to prevent doing so.

Nicole noticed the dark circles under his eyes, lifting her hand to touch it but he yet again pushed her away.

“Get out.” He didn’t hesitate to say.

“We haven’t had time for each other, Jackson…”

“We never even had a relationship. Get out.”

He strode past her, but she grabbed his arm tightly, not letting go.

“Jackson! Are you still under the palms of Airina? You know that she is a wicked, shameless, slut woman-”

Jackson turned around, slapping her hand away as his brows were knitted together. He had a frightening and domineering aura, making her hold her breath in return. She rarely sees this kind of face from him so she easily gets scared, thinking that he would hurt her.

“I didn’t holy you account for trespassing into my house but badmouthing Airina in my face at that is something I would blame you,” he stepped forward, causing her to instinctively pace back, “Compared to you, Airina is a deep person, she knows what she wants and is decisive. She may be cold, but her warm heart resurfaced. But you? Other than cheating behind her back, what else did you do?”

“Wh-what… Jackson. Let’s-”

“There’s nothing to talk about, Nicole. We’re over. Piss off.” He commanded powerfully, frowning at her angrily.

“Jackson-”

“Or would you rather have the guards dragging you out?”

Nicole’s tears fell from her eyes. She was looking at him in despise and helplessness. How could someone who said he wouldn’t leave her was now telling her to disappear?

“Don’t forget you liked it too when you cheated behind Airina’s back with me.” She stated.

“That is the past.”

She scoffed, “But it happened. Do you think chasing Airina would reduce the pain? Jackson, you’re way too delusional.”

“….”

Jackson’s frown got darker hence Nicole turned around, clumsily putting on her sunglasses to prevent others from knowing her tears descending.

Jackson, who was left behind felt like his world had just shattered. A pang of pain, a loud annoying noise looping in his ears made him pant in haplessness. Nicole’s words ringing like a piece of horror music caused him to tremble from fear and impending rejection.
