Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 157

Alex’s POV.

The city lights blurred past the tinted windows of the car as I leaned back in my seat, running a hand over my face. The flight from Dubai had been long, but it wasn’t the fatigue that weighed on me. It was the reason I’d come back earlier than planned.

There was no use staying there any longer. Dubai had been a distraction, nothing more. I’d done what I could to hold my ground, to keep Nexus Innovations and Daniel Brooks at bay, but the fight wasn’t in Dubai…it was here, where Christiana and the kids were.

For all his schemes, Daniel couldn’t take what I had…not Christiana, not Emma and Ethan.

The car pulled up outside the hotel, and I stepped out, straightening my jacket as I took in the familiar sight of the building where Christiana was staying. My phone buzzed in my pocket as I walked through the lobby. It was Sebastian.

“Where are you?” I asked, my voice low.

“Just pulling up,” he replied. “Are you sure about this? It’s late.”

I glanced at my watch. 9:30 p.m. “It’s fine. I want you to meet them tonight.”

There was a pause before he said, “Alright. I’ll see you soon.”

ended the call and headed for the elevator, my heart pounding harder than I wanted to admit. Seeing Christiana again after everything that had happened…after the calls, the distance, the uncertainty…I wasn’t sure how she’d react.

The elevator dinged, and I stepped out, making my way down the hall to her suite. A few moments later, Sebastian joined me, looking slightly hesitant.

“You ready for this?” I asked, giving him a small smile.

He shrugged, but there was a flicker of nervousness in his eyes. “You’re the one doing the introductions.”

I knocked on the door, and within seconds, it swung open. Christiana stood there, her hair slightly disheveled, as if she’d been pacing. Her eyes widened when she saw me.

“Alex!” she exclaimed, throwing her arms around me before I could say a word.

I wrapped her in a tight embrace, letting out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. She smelled like home…something familiar and grounding.

“I’m back,” I murmured against her hair.

She pulled back just enough to look at me, her eyes searching mine. “You should’ve told me you were coming. I was so worried.”

Before I could respond, two smaller figures rushed to the door.

“Daddy!”

Ethan and Emma barreled into me, their tiny arms wrapping around my legs. I crouched down, pulling them into a proper hug, their giggles melting away the last of the tension I’d been holding.

“I missed you two,” I said, ruffling Ethan’s hair and kissing Emma on the forehead.

“We missed you too! Emma said, her voice full of excitement.
