Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 118

LEAH

"What are we doing here, Alex?" I whisper, my voice barely coming out, unable to believe what's standing right in front of me.

A bridal boutique.

A real, shimmering bridal boutique.

My fucking dream boutique where they sale the best and most expensive wedding gowns!

The doors swing open as if they were expecting us.

A woman in a sleek black dress smiles warmly and gestures us inside.

"Welcome Mr. King, ma'am. We've been expecting you."

Ma'am.

Mrs King is the name but I have to play nice so I smile.

"Thank you!".

When we step In.... my breath stops!

I stumble forward, my heart slamming into my ribs so hard it hurts.

I turn to Alex, blinking up at him, my mind spinning, almost scared to say the

words out loud.

"Alex, really... what is this?"

He doesn't smile.

He doesn't soften.

He just looks at me with those icy green eyes and says, his voice low and serious,

"To be my wife... you need a dress."He shrugs like it's obvious, like it's the most natural thing in the world.

"Isn't that what you've always wanted?"

I can't breathe.

I'm finally going to be his wife!

If I knew this was all it took I would have asked Athena to get pregnant faster!

I should probably reduce on the trouble I cause her at the hospital. She did birth me a golden ticket after all.

Tears rush to my eyes, blurring everything around me into a dream.
