Chasing My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 63

Hailey was sure she was halfway through her ride to a place she thought she was never going to set her foot in again when her phone buzzed in her bag. She wanted to ignore it since she was driving but with everything going on, her anxiety was starting to get the most of her.

Hailes was in a se space so she pulled over to the side of the road. She reached for her handbag which was on the floor in the front passenger’s seat, opened it and took out her phone.

She saw that it was a strange number but she picked up regardless, putting the phone on speaker.

Hi. Hailey. It’s Jess. I got your number from Cole.”

Yes, yes, I’m glad you called me. Cos I was beginning to wonder if I was handling things right.”

Jessica had no idea when she started wiping tears from the corner of her eyes and smiling like crazy at the same time.

For someone who knew how much emotional trauma her best friend had gone through, She finally felt at peace knowing that the woman Cole loves more than anything in the world feels the same way about him.

“Your baby?” Jessica had no idea when she even said those words out loud.

“It feels weird saying that, right?”

“No, it doesn’t.” She answered immediately. It feels so good to hear that from you. Cole really loves you, Hailey. Never doubt that.”

“I just feel so happy for you both because you all have been through it all. And as Cole’s friend, it feels so good to know a woman with a good heart as you genuinely love him.“”

“Thank you for giving him a second chance.”

“He makes me happy,” Hailey mumbled, not knowing what else to say.

“I already called my best friend to pick up the twins. They would be so disappointed because they were looking forward to spending the rest of the day with their Dad but I know my best friend would come up with a good excuse.”

“You are going to see Cole right?” Hailey asked Jess.

“Yes, I’m just about to be on my way. You wanna come too?”

“Yes, but I need to put Vanessa in her place first.”

“Hailey…” Jessica was saying then Hailey cut her off.

“There is nothing you would say that will change my mind. If I don’t stand up to fight for myself, that bitch would think she’s got every right to bully me and my family. I am not the weak girl she and her bitchy mother used to know. They need to

know that they shouldn’t mess with me and if they do, I wouldn’t hesitate to put them in their place.

“I understand you are angry Hailey but I want you to be calm. Vanessa is evil and all this is a well– planned plot. She does silly things to push you against the wall and when you react, she strikes back at you by making you look like the bad guy. That’s why Cole got arrested.”

Hailey shook her head even though Jessica couldn’t see her. “Her manipulative tricks won’t work on me because I am going to put her in he place.

I’m sick and tired of her! And I am going to put an end to her shitty attitude.”

“We all know that she is the one

evidence without a trace. And now, She tells lies against the man I love, making him look like an irresponsible bully before the whole world.”

“Nah, I’m not going to take this! Vanessa Summers just fucked with the wrong person.”

Jessica sighed, knowing there was probably nothing she could

She heaved a deep sigh, then continued her journey to the Summers mansion.

Vanessa and Connie were seated side by side on the couch in the main living room. They had big smiles on their faces with their eyes glued to the screen as they watched the policemen taking Cole into their car.

Vanessa chuckled, taking another scoop from the big bowl of her ice cream, something she’d been craving so badly recently.

“I didn’t think your plan would work so perfectly.” Connie praised her daughter.

Vanessa shrugged, smiling even more. “I go the extra mile to get what I want.”

“I love Cole. I really do. But I think it’s time he is taught a lesson.”

“If I can’t have him then I promise you that no one else can.”

“Smart moves, baby. I didn’t know the plan was going to work that well. Plus Cole is a public figure. I never thought the law enforcers would be so strict on him.”

“No one is above the law, mama. Plus I made everything look so real. I went to the police crying my eyes out, explaining the situation. I made them know that Cole is a very violent man. The CCTV was functioning that day so I got footage of him choking me to death. I also tendered my pregnancy results to prove that I was pregnant when he harmed me so he literally tried to murder two lives.”

“It’s a crime to beat up a woman. And it is even a bigger crime to lay a finger on a pregnant woman. I also told them of how unsupportive he has been since I found out I was pregnant. And I might have told more lies too.” She smirked, taking another Scoop of her ice cream.

“You make smart moves all the time.”

“Of course I do. Cole thinks he can play with me and my feelings but I am going to prove him wrong. He is going to stay in jail for a very long time unless he is willing to do as I say.”

“Which is?” Connie asked her daughter.

Beg for my forgiveness, disown any bastard kids he owns. Marry me, and spend his forever with me.

“He is going to stay in jail forever unless I withdraw the case. And I am not going to withdraw without these conditions.

“If I can’t have Cole Matthis, then no one else can have him. Especially that witch called Hailey.”

“It’s either Cole accepts my terms or he gets ready to spend the rest of his life in jail.”

“No. No one would want to stay in jail. Not even for an extra second. I am sure he is going to reach out to you soon, begging for your forgiveness.“.

Vanessa smiled.

After what felt like forever, Hailey pulled up in the Summers‘ her

turned off the engine.

Staring at her reflection through the front mirror, Hailey began to take off her wristwatch, bracelets, and knuckle rings. She kept them aside and went ahead to put her hair up in a low ponytail. She took off her necklace and her earrings also, keeping them safe in the car.

Taking one last glance at the mirror, Hailey helped herself down from the car. Today was one of the few days Hailey decided to wear corporate pants to work and she was grateful for her decision to do so.

Lucy, the assistant chef who recognized Hailey ran towards her to extend her greetings.

“Hi, Madam. It’s good to see your face again.”

Hailey replied with a forced smile. She was really not in the mood for any friendly conversations but she didn’t want to be rude to Lucy.

“It’s good to see you too, Lucy. Is Vanessa home by chance?”

“Yes, ma. She’s in with Madam Connie.”

“Thank you,” Hailey said then made her towards the entrance. The last time she was here was when her Dad disowned her and chased her out. She had no idea why but she was glad Eric did. It was better than living in a home with two witches.

Once she was in, Hailey traced her steps to the living room. Everything looked the same as she remembered.

She sighted Vanessa and Connie on the couch and instantly approached them.

The smile on Vanessa’s face slowly faded the moment she saw Hailey storm in.

“What are you doing here?” Connie mumbled, her eyes on Hailey as Hailey approached them.

Vanessa stared in shock. She had hardly taken in all of Hailey’s appearance when Hailey attacked her.

Hailey held onto Vanessa’s dress by the chest and dragged her up to her feet, the bowl of ice cream falling off Vanessa’s lap to the couch as she was dragged up.

“How dare you mess with my man.” Hailey’s hand landed really hard against Vanessa’s cheek.

Connie stared in shock, still seated with her mouth wide open. She was about to say something when Hailey hit Vanessa again on that same cheek. This time around she hit her even harder, the sound of the slap resonating in the room.

Vanessa had tears in her eyes at this point.

16:20 Sat, 2 ADE

“How fucking dare you!!!!” Hailey said at the top of her voice, hitting Vanessa twice more on her cheek.

Vanessa was about to attack back but Hailey pushed her. Vanessa tripped and fell to the floor. She cried out in pain.

Connie saw that Hailey was going towards Vanessa, probably to beat her up even more so she ran towards her, holding Hailey still.

With all of her ught, Hailey freed herself from Connie. She hit Connie on the cheek and pushed her to the floor also.

Hailey’s eyes met with the bowl of ice cream on the chair, she picked it up and emptied all its content on Vanessa’s hair and

face.

Still holding the now empty bowl of ice cream, Hailey began to beat Vanessa with the bowl. Hitting it on her head, face, and all over her body as Vanessa was seated on the floor.

Hailey felt the bowl wasn’t doing the job properly as Vanessa wasn’t wailing yet as she expected. She then took off her heels and fired them at Vanessa. The first heel hit Vanessa directly on her forehead while she dodged the second one a bit so it hit her shoulder. At this point, Vanessa was sobbing loudly.

“What the hell have I done to you? All you do is make my life miserable when I’ve done nothing but treat you with love and respect. Hailey said in anger.

“Even when you treated me like trash at my lowest point, I still let you go. I forgave you a million times for all the hurt you

“There was a glass cup with some water in it on the table. Hailey reached for it and splashed the water on Vanessa’s face. Hailey was almost smashing the glass cup against Vanessa’s head when a masculine hand held her still.
