Hunting for His EX-Wife

A loud roar shocked everyone at the airport.

Hearing her name, Rose turned around abruptly to see Elliot running towards her with a sullen face. His eyes were fixed on her as if they were on fire, making Rose’s heart skip a beat.

Lawrence and Tom standing beside her exchanged glances and frowned in unison.

Ignoring the people around him, Elliot walked up to Rose and grabbed her arm before pulling her in front of him. “Rose, how dare you!” he exclaimed.

Rose winced in pain from his tight grip and looked at him in surprise. “What are you doing here?” she asked.

“If I didn’t come, were you planning on running away with your lover?” Elliot saw the shock and disbelief in her eyes which only confirmed his suspicions that she was planning to escape. He became even more agitated as he continued speaking, “Let me tell you something; it’s not possible!”

Seeing Elliot suddenly appear made Rose feel even more anxious and panicked than before. She never expected him to know that she was here or that Lawrence and Tom were also present. Now that he had arrived, leaving might not be so easy anymore – especially with Sean…

“What do you mean it’s not possible? Let go of me!” Her mind was racing so much that she couldn’t understand what he was saying while many people gathered around them watching the commotion unfold.

Lawrence stepped forward to stop Elliot while frowning deeply. “Mr Harper, did you come here for something? Release Rose first.”

As soon as Lawrence spoke up, Elliot’s face visibly darkened even further: “Release? Hmph…” He sneered, then scanned past Lawrence before finally settling his gaze back onto Rose’s face. “I should let go just so you can leave with him? You’re quite bold! How could you run away behind my back with other men?”

Finally understanding why this man had gone crazy.

He came all the way here just because of this?

Because he thought she wanted to leave with Tom and Lawrence?

“I…” She barely got a word out before being interrupted by Elliot again, “Rose! Don’t even think about it! I won’t let you leave the country with another man – ever! You’re my wife; there is no way I’ll allow anyone else near what belongs solely to me! Come back home with me!”

Rose was being pulled towards the airport by him, no matter how hard she tried to shake him off. “Elliot, are you crazy? Let go of me! I never said I wanted to leave, you misunderstood!”

This man is insane! When did she ever say she wanted to go abroad?

But in Elliot’s ears, her words sounded like excuses and lies. He didn’t believe that Rose wouldn’t leave.

“Stop making excuses, Rose! Three plane tickets! Why would you buy three if you weren’t planning on leaving with them? I don’t believe anything you say. You’re not allowed to leave!” Elliot gritted his teeth and glanced back at her with a terrifyingly sharp look that made Rose’s hair stand on end.

She was momentarily scared speechless.

She couldn’t possibly use the excuse of accidentally buying an extra ticket as it was too obvious a lie.

And she definitely couldn’t tell him that the extra ticket was for her son.

Rose couldn’t control herself from being dragged forward by Elliot. She looked at his fiery appearance and suddenly felt like giving up altogether. She shook off his grip violently despite feeling pain in her wrist from where he had squeezed it tightly before saying, “I just want to leave, so what?! What business is it of yours?”

Elliot stopped abruptly and turned around quickly to look at her with a dark expression in his eyes while sneering sarcastically.”You admit it! You really do plan on leaving with them!”

His laugh gave Rose goosebumps all over again; anger flared up inside of her even more than before as she shouted shrilly, “I do want to leave! It has nothing to do with you anymore; I can do whatever I want! If I want to leave, then let me be gone forever from your life!”

Elliot tightened his grip on her wrist, the pressure causing Rose’s hand to scratch his back several times, leaving it sore and rapidly swelling. But he paid no attention to the pain, as a dull ache in his heart was slowly spreading, making him grow even more sullen. His eyes, irritated by Rose’s behavior, were turning red.

“What did you say? Say it again.”

Tom could no longer bear watching this happen any longer so he stepped forward along with Lawrence who stood beside him blocking Elliot’s way while sternly ordering, “Elliot, let go of my sister!”

Lawrence’s face was cold and stern as he glanced at Rose’s red wrist, his voice sounding as if it had been soaked in ice. “Mr. Harper, Rose is right. Even if she wants to go abroad, it has nothing to do with you…”

A loud bang accompanied by a groan echoed through the air. Rose’s wrist suddenly loosened and her pupils dilated as she saw Elliot punch Lawrence in the face, leaving a bruise on his lips. She was shocked and wanted to stop him. “Elliot! Why did you hit him?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The people around them noticed the commotion and were surprised by Elliot hitting someone in public. They gasped and some tried to intervene but it was of no use.

Tom frowned deeply when he saw his sister looking panicked and surprised. He reached out to stop Elliot from punching Lawrence again.”Mr. Harper, please be mindful of your actions! This is an airport with many people watching! It’s never okay to hit someone!”

Elliot glared at Tom after being warned but didn’t intend on hitting Lawrence again; instead he turned around and grabbed Rose’s wrist before pulling her towards himself.

“Elliot, are you crazy?” Rose had no strength left to struggle against him after being caught again. She couldn’t believe that Elliot would cause such a scene at an airport where so many people could see them.

“I am crazy,” replied Elliot coldly while looking into Rose’s worried eyes. “I am crazy for letting you come here with him. Rose, remember this: You are my wife, and I will never divorce you. You can dream about running away with other men, but it will never happen.”

Rose didn’t know what else she could say after hearing those words from Elliot. He sounded so cruel today. If it weren’t for knowing that the person he truly cared about was Madeleine, Rose might have misunderstood his feelings, thinking he liked her, which would explain why he had rushed to the airport to stop her from leaving.

But was that even possible?

No, it wasn’t.

Elliot’s feelings were driven by a sense of unwillingness. After all, she had avoided him for so many years, and he harbored a lingering desire for revenge, which made him determined not to let her go without confrontation.
