My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 73

It's all really over for Jordan Fernandez. All the incriminating evidence for him, even one by one, came out, justifying all the charges that led to the man. Jordan was sentenced to severe punishment. It was almost certain that he would no longer be able to breathe free air for the rest of his life.

All Jordan's assets were seized by the authorities. Alma and Helia were driven away without being able to carry anything. The condition of both of them changed drastically to be very sad. Lastly, Helia runs amok on the streets, gets the social services to intervene and take her to a mental hospital, leaving Alma alone in a homeless shelter. Fernandez's family, very successful, just ended up.

Elsewhere, Zetta is seen visiting the home of Amy's grandmother, having previously heard the old woman's condition was deteriorating. Although her relationship with Keenan has ended, Zetta still considers Grandma Amy as a family so can not ignore Grandma Amy just like that. Only, this time Zetta did not come alone, but accompanied by Alex.

"Zetta, you coming?" Amy's grandmother, who was sitting on the bed, straightened her back to see Zetta's presence.

"Yes, Grandma. It's me." It's me." Zetta sits in the chair beside Grandma Amy's bed, while Alex stands behind the woman while putting her luggage on the nightstand.

"Who is he?" ask Grandma Amy while looking at Alex.

"Include, Grandma. My name is Alex" Alex said politely. Although he knew that the figure in front of him was his grandmother Keenan, but because Zetta respected him so much, Alex also behaved respectfully.

Zetta smiled at Grandma Amy, "she's my fiance, Grandma."

Zetta had indeed decided to accept Alex's proposal some time ago. A diamond ring embedded in his ring finger was currently a sign that the young man had now tied it.

"G ...." The look on Grandma Amy's face turned startled for a moment, before she could finally regain control.

"You've found a replacement for that stupid kid apparently" Amy's grandmother muttered later. A disappointed tone was clearly heard from his somewhat trembling old voice. Of course, from the beginning Amy's grandmother still hopes Keenan and Zetta reunited. But he also knew that his grandson's mistake was already very fatal and difficult to forgive, let alone to get a second chance.

Zetta smiled at Grandma Amy, then held her hand warmly.

"Although I didn't go back to Keenan, Grandma was still my Grandma" Zetta said. "He can also be Grandma's granddaughter if Grandma wants to." Zetta pointed towards the faithful Alex standing behind him.

Grandma Amy chuckles. He felt like a child sulking, and Zetta was trying to persuade him.

"Well, I also know that Keenan isn't good enough for you" Amy's grandmother said later in a resigned tone.

"I have no right to judge someone's good and bad, Grandma, because I may not be a good person either. But as Grandma mentioned earlier, he was a fool. And I need a smart man to be with me" said Zetta. A little joking, but it was also in his heart.

"So you think this kid's smart?" Amy's grandmother glanced back at Alex.

"That's how." Zetta answers.

"But it looks like he's younger than you."

"I'm younger than Zetta, Grandma. But I make sure that I can be a responsible man. I'll take care of Brother Zetta and be happy." This time Alex answered.

Amy's grandmother fell silent and looked at Alex for a moment.

"Over the years, Alex has helped me and protected me a lot, Grandma. Jordan can take responsibility for what he's doing right now because Alex did it for me. I will no longer find Alex's men," Zetta added.

"Ah .. so ...." Grandma Amy finally understood. "You're a lot more mature and great than you look."

Zetta smiled back at Amy's grandmother.

"Yes, thank you very much, Zetta. I have three biological grandchildren, but it feels like my real granddaughter is just you" said Grandma Amy a little sad.

"Grandma don't say that. Later I will tell Roan to visit Grandma more often. If necessary, I'll ask him to stay here with Grandma."

"That brat? Haishn ...." Amy's grandmother flicked her hand, a sign of disapproval.

"He's a bit naughty, Grandma. But he was actually a kind and loving child. And to be sure, she also loved Grandma very much."

Grandma Amy looked at Zetta with slightly teary eyes. A moment later, his outstretched hand touched Zetta's soft cheek.

"From a long time ago, I could see that you were such a sincere person, Zetta. I don't know why Keenan and Brenda can't see that, even though they've been living under one roof with you for six years. It's a pity" muttered Amy's granny.

"But let it be, they both don't deserve your kindness back. I hope, after this you really get happiness. I approve of you, son." Amy's grandmother rubbed Zetta's head gently and affectionately.

"Thank you, Grandma" Zetta said with a smile.

After a conversation, Zetta and Alex eventually withdraw from Amy's grandmother's house. However, while in the courtyard, they both cross paths with Keenan and Lady Brenda who just arrived.

Zetta gave a fleeting smile to the two, without pausing a step. Alex's grip that increasingly tightened when he saw Keenan, making Zetta's other hand embrace Alex's arm, as if to tell if Zetta is now with Alex and will not return to Keenan.

Keenan took a moment to see Zetta and Alex getting into their car. The interaction of the two clearly looked like a couple, making his eyes widen and his chest also rumble violently. He recalled Zetta's words the last time they met.

"I'll never come back to you, Keenan. Even if the world is destroyed, it will never happen. You are just an ex-husband, and I will forever remain an ex-wife to you. No matter if you say you love me now, I will still only be your ex-wife. Not more."

Keenan's chest was like being hit by a large rock remembering all that. So this is what Zetta's words mean. He wanted to say if Keenan didn't have the slightest chance. There was another man who had now replaced Keenan in his heart.

Keenan froze with a tightly clenched hand. He still does not want to move, even though the car driven by Alex and Zetta has disappeared in plain sight. Now the man knows what it feels like to be heartbroken. So sick and stifling, it was as if this world was collapsing and his life was about to end then and there. That's what Zetta used to feel when she preferred Helia. And it seems that right now Zetta won't care about how she feels, just like she never cared about what Zetta felt.

***

Media coverage is back on fire, this time with happy news about the marriage of Zetta and Alexander, a top model who is also the sole heir of the country's largest corporation. Alex's identity was eventually revealed by the media, it was because his grandfather was difficult to give permission for it. She also gave Zetta her blessing for judging Zetta as the right person for her granddaughter.

From a Billboard screen in downtown, Keenan saw the happy look on Zetta's face as the wedding took place. Because of Alex's extraordinary identity, their marriage was indeed broadcast live and could be witnessed by everyone, including Keenan. Everyone thinks of their love story as romance in a novel. So beautiful and dramatic. Keenan only smiled wryly hearing that. There is only one word that can describe the situation now, slumped.

With a gontai step, Keenan stepped away. If Zetta is happy now, she is feeling how bitter life is. Almost lost everything, even his business was experiencing a slump. It all happened because of his own stupidity.

Now Keenan must accept if he is serving the punishment for his actions so far. And the punishment has just begun. Which means that tomorrow will still come with much more painful suffering than Zetta used to feel.

EXPIRE

Thank you for following this story to the end. Sorry if the ending is not satisfactory because the groove is accelerated. As I said before, this is my version ending, because the NT version is still far away and I don't know what it looks like.

See you in the next story, My Problematic Husband (spin off from the novel The Broken Ring). God will update soon.
