Chasing My Ex-wife Back by Symplyayisha (Hailey and Cole)
Chapter 65

Hailey took a glance at Eric who looked devastated. "I can't believe she is suing Cole for attempted murder when she is the one that should be behind bars for attempted murder on an innocent child and on Cole and myself."

Hailey faced Vanessa again. "You want me to leave Cole for you?"

Vanessa sniffled. "Don't say it like you are doing me a favor. Cole is mine. I love him. You are the one who should stay away from our lives forever."

Hailey folded her arms. "What does love mean to you?"

"Not snatching other people's men."

Hailey chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief. "So you think Cole would love you more after the stunt you've pulled? You obviously don't know how much damage you've done, do you?"

"You claim to love a man and you didn't think twice before you humiliated him. The whole world knows about this and Cole's reputation is ruined. People won't want to do business with him anymore. His partners are gonna leave him, which means his company is at risk. There are hundreds of people working for Cole's company, if Cole doesn't get clients due to his reputation that you've ruined, the company goes bankrupt and hundreds of people will lose their jobs."

"You see how your greediness and bitterness have caused you to ruin so many things? You claim to love a man and you treat him this way? If you and I are being honest, you don't deserve to see tomorrow, Vanessa. You are too evil to be alive."

"And No, even though you harmed my child in the past, I won't harm yours because its innocent. My business is with you and not the bastard child you are carrying."

Vanessa placed a hand on her belly. "Don't you dare talk ill about my child? Cole is the father."

Hailey shook her head. "You and I know you have been sleeping around all your lives. I trust Cole with everything I have. If he says he is not the father of your child, then I believe him." "Cole is lying. He is just using you. He's with you because of your money. Just get lost and leave us the hell alone."

"That's sad to hear because I am going nowhere. Cole loves me and I love him too."

"Liar!"

Hailey smirked. "You don't want me to reveal all the fun things we did on our trip to you, right?"

"You are being so unfair. You always want what belongs to me. You are the evil child and yet you make me look like the evil one."

"Cole and I are about to become a happy family. Just take your things and your fake kids and disappear. We were almost getting married and then you came back to destroy everything!" "It's not my fault that you are so threatened about my presence. Four years was more than enough for Cole to decide if he wanted to be with you."

"And did you just say fake kids?" Hailey arched her brows.

"Yes. I made you have a miscarriage. You've been absent from Cole's life for years. There is no way you have his child. You are deceiving him and I don't know why he can't see that." Hailey chose not to address this subject because she didn't want her kids involved.

"I give you 12 hours!"

Connie frowned.

Vanessa arched a confused brow. "What for?"

"To go for the police and take back your accusations and offer a public demand apology on the news and your social media page."

"Hell No! You think you can threaten me?"

Hailey shook her head. "I am not threatening you. It's up to you to fix things or decide to give birth in jail and spend the rest of your life in jail."

"12 hours is more than enough time for me to gather all my evidence together and put you where you belong. The ball is in your court."

Having heard enough of them all, Hailey scanned her environment for her shoes. She put them on and took close steps to Vanessa who was still sitting on the floor and brought her hand to her belly, protecting her baby from Hailey. Her face was blotchy, mixed with ice cream stains and the cut was still much visible on her forehead. Thankfully it wasn't really deep but Hailey didn't feel any form of remorse towards her

Hailey squatted to her height, looking deep into Vanessa's soul. "Who knew that someone like you would have a motherly instinct? Isn't it insane that you are protecting your child now when years ago you hurt mine without any mercy?"

She stared at Vanessa's belly, then back at Vanessa. "It's such a pity you are bringing an innocent child to your deceitful life."

"I am very possessive about what is mine and at the same time, I don't joke with what belongs to me. This is a final warning to you, Vanessa. Stay the hell away from Cole Matthis." "Your 12 hours starts now. Turn yourself in or I will do it for you with all the evidence I have."

Giving Vanessa one final glare, Hailey rose to her feet. She kicked Vanessa by her hip, earning a loud pain from her after which she started to make her way out of the living room, ignoring Connie's glare. "Hailey... Please..." Eric said, about to go after her.

Hailey ignored and excited the house.

The moment she stepped out, a car pulled up behind her car and almost immediately she saw a familiar upset face get down from the driver seat.

The anger on his face slowly faded when he saw Hailey. Hailey made her way towards him.

"Hailey?" He called her name when she approached him, replaceing it hard to believe that it was her.

"Hi Moore! What are you doing here?"

"I heard my close friend's daughter put my son in jail. My phone has been ringing nonstop. I'm here to plead with them to withdraw the accusations." "Cole is not in the wrong. You've got nothing to apologize for."

"I don't know, Hailey. I don't know what to believe. Cole has been acting really weird lately. He doesn't carry me along anymore and I feel so horrible." Hailey could see the sadness in Moore's eyes. "What do you want to know? Ask me. I will answer to the best of my ability."

"A...are you and Cole together? Vanessa stalked you and she mentioned you tricked Cole with a fake child."

"Cole and I are together and we are determined to make things work out for good."

"I was pregnant when I left Cole. I had twins. We were together throughout last week."

"Oh my God," Moore mumbled, bringing his hand to his chest. He took a step back in shock, his back hitting the door of the driver's seat of his car.

Hailey rushed over to his side. "Are you Okay?"

Moore stared at her with tear-filled eyes. "Tw...... Twins? I'm a grandfather to two humans?"

"Yes! Two boys."

That was all it took for tears to escape Moore's eyes.

Hailey stared confused, not understanding what was going on.

"Are you Okay?" She asked with so much concern.

Moore took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped tears away from his eyes, then he turned to face Hailey. "I'm sorry if I am acting like a kid. This news just hit a very deep spot in my heart." "Cole........" Moore was starting to say then stopped for a few seconds to calm himself from bursting into another round of tears.

"Cole is my only child. He was always excited to be a big brother but never got the chance to."

"We lost his mother and his baby brother. They both died during the birth of the newborn. It was one of the hardest things Cole and I had to go through."

Tears rolled down Moore's cheek. His lips quivered. "It was painful to watch him grow up without a mother. I tried to remarry so he would not miss out on motherly love but things ended terribly with all the women I dated."

"One of my goals in life was to make sure Cole never lacked love. I wanted him to be happy, to replace love, to have a family of his own, many healthy kids and to enjoy the things I never got to have." "That's why I wanted him to marry right."

"To be honest, I was happy when I heard that Vanessa was pregnant. He denied being the father and I thought it was because he was scared that he would lose them at childbirth since the death of his mother and younger brother took a toll on him."

"I may not be the best parent but I promise you that in everything I did, I've always been after Cole's happiness."

"It's just." 59 years old Moore sniffled, using the handkerchief to wipe tears off the corner of his eyes.

At this point, Hailey's eyes were beginning to get heavy with tears.

"I'm just really overwhelmed to know that my boy is now a father. I have seen him battle with sadness, loneliness, and anxieties. I'm just really happy he gets to experience being a father. And I'm glad that I got to witness it. Maria will be so proud of her little boy."

Hailey wiped tears from the corner of her eyes. She had no idea what prompted it but she initiated a father-daughter hug with Moore.

"Thank you for bringing light to my Son's life. Thank you." Moore cried.
