My Ex Next Door

Chapter 83 83: The lie

Novie opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar place, she got up from the bed and looked around. There was a medical apparatus around which made the whole room looked like a hospital room but the ambiance was different.


She doesn't know whether its the furniture or the glass wall that showing the sunset changed her thought about the room.


She cleared her throat and walked towards the door, her face wrinkled when she felt some pain in her arms, she looked at it and saw bruises which were covered with cream.


(What happened to me?) she asked in her head while massaging her forehead, the migraine started pinning in her head.


She steps out and realized that she's in someone else's house, she went panic when she suddenly realized that she might have been abducted once again.


She ran downstairs and saw the triplets standing in front of Peyton while the woman was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed.


A relief flooded throughout her body when she realized that she's in the safe place, but her face remained wrinkled when she noticed that the triplets are squatting with their arms stretched while books were on their heads and arms.


"What's happening?" She asked Peyton, the woman lifted her head to look at her.


"Oh! This is their punishment for sneaking out" Peyton spoke and looked at the triplets in sympathy.


"Sweety, I know it's hard but believe me, this is the lightest punishment you will get from your crazy mother. SO don't do this again" Peyton spoke in a soft tone and patted the triplets head.


Novie sighed, she doesn't know why Daniella was treating her kids like this especially they got abducted, she believes that it might have brought some traumatic experience to the triplets, but she was not their mother, therefore, it's not her business.


"Oh Ken is awake, they are in the room next to yours," Peyton said.


Novie's heart jerked, without letting Peyton finished she ran upstairs and opened the door next to the room she came out earlier..


All the people inside looked at her, Novie bites her lips and walked closer to Ken who was laying on the bed.


She noticed her mother and Brent but she ignored them and walked towards Ken.


"Peyton said he woke up, why… what is happening?" she stuttered, her heart aches to see Ken's in this states, she doesn't know what happened but there was blood in his hand.


Novie felt a soft hand on her shoulder, she turned around and saw Daniella's face with her sad expression


She gulped repeatedly and waited for Daniella to speak but the woman dragged her out of the room.


After Daniella closed the door, the woman put both hands on her shoulder and sighed.


"Novie… Ken… he… he lost some of his memory" Daniella started.


Those words made her heart stop for a moment, she parted her lips to speak but no words are coming out.


"What do you mean lost his memory? What does he remember?" she asked in confusion while her mind float in the universe, dazed by the revelation.


"I don't know exactly how much he remembered but based on how he called me earlier… I am guessing he only remembers the time when he was still the boss of the Blue Dragon" Daniella replied.


Novie shook her head, she couldn't believe any of Daniella's words and she doesn't want too.


"No… Ken remembers me, he… he said he wanted to see me, it's unfair" she spoke in a broken tone while her heart gripped.


"Don't worry. I will do everything, if I need to replace his brain I will do it but Novie in the meantime, I will need your help" Daniella murmured.


Novie bites her lips, feeling depressed by the thought that Ken doesn't remember her.


"What help?" she asked. If this will help to get back Ken's memory, she's willing to do everything.


The woman smiled, "We will need to seize Ken's beast side so I will need you to wear this" saying that, Daniella handed a small red box to her, Novie crinkled her nose in confusion after what she saw inside.


She was about to ask what was it for when Daniella started explaining her plan.



Ken woke up by the pain in his neck, he groans and opened his eyes to see an familiar face.


"Matthew?" he murmured. The last thing he remembered was when he saw his mother. The woman was in shock after she saw all the people he killed but he did it only to defend himself.


He tried to explain it to his mother but the woman was speechless. He's wondering why suddenly his mother showed up in front of him. It's been so long since he last saw her.


He hated her and wants to kill her but his body was not cooperating. When he left the hospital room and saw his company's lawyer Daniella Chen, he could not help but suspects her.


His body was still weak but based on the gun the woman was holding and the other two people behind her gave him an idea that she must have sent those people to kill him.


He sat down and looked at his side, he saw his friend Evan, Glen and Matthew and another man which he vaguely remembers.


"Evan" he called his friend in a faint tone.


When he thought Evan was going to his direction, the man walked to the door and opened it, he said 'he's awake' and two women entered the room.


The first woman was his company's lawyer and the other was a short woman with bruises all over her body while her face gloom in sadness.



In the other side, Novie bites her lips while tears ran down from her eyes. She sniffed and ran towards Ken.


Her heart burst with emotion, she embraced him like there's no tomorrow while her heart gripped in pain.


When Ken pushed her, she felt her heart throbbing.


"Who are you?" Ken asked.


She gave him a faint smile, "I am your wife" she replied.


People around gasped except Daniella while color faded on Ken's face.


"What wife? I've never been married?" Ken yelled and pushed Novie back, but she had anticipated this.


Daniella said she needs to be strong in order to get Ken back.


"Look at this pictures" Novie stretched her hand to show the phone Daniella gave her earlier. It was her picture with Ken and the triplets.


"What about this? Who are these kids?" Ken asked.


Novie cleared her throat and look at him in the eyes, this is the first time she will lie straight to his face but this is the only way to compress Ken from turning back to his old self.


Their eyes collided and she remembered the day she first saw his gray eyes, those eyes were looking at her emotionless just like before.


She doesn't know how many times she swallowed, her knee trembled but she knows that she needs to be strong.


In her mind, Daniella's words played on repeat.


(This is the only way we can stop the old Ken from coming. So do this while I am trying to find a way to fix him.)


"What? Who are these kids?" Ken's dulled voice made her senses came back.


She held his hand and looked straight at his gray eyes while a soft smile curved up her lips.


"They are our kids"
