chapter 34: Garden encounter

Caroline pov

We had jogged for like 30 minutes, which felt like forever.

My lungs burned. My legs screamed from. There is too much use.

Beside me, Daphne laughed breathlessly, as if she was enjoying my suffering and pain. “Come on, Caroline. That’s the best you’ve got?” she said, wiping off sweats that had clogged around her forehead with the sleeve of her brown hoodie.

I bent forward, palms on my knees, gulping in air like i couldn't get enough. “I swear…" this is not what I signed up for.”

“Common Caroline, stop being dramatic, and let's continue, we are yet to reach half…”

“Hell noo,” I invited, stomping my leg on the floor to emphasize my point. I refuse to be Daphne's second Xavier. Besides, she had barged in and broken the moment I and Xavier were having. ”I am done here”

Seeing her smile getting wider and wider, every second made my anger boil from embarrassment. The thoughts of how she had barged into our room earlier made me want to strangle her

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 35: Dinner awaits

    chapter 35: Dinner awaitsCaroline’s POVThe hallway was unusually quiet when we entered through the side door. Daphne immediately separated from me to go freshen up, leaving me to find my way to our room. I was sweaty, sore, and with way too many questions swirling in my head. My body still felt shaky from the morning run, and the unexpected conversation with Elijah had left a strange knot in my chest.I groaned, closing the door behind me while walking like a zombie to the bathtub. What I just needed was a hot bath.A few minutes later, I was coming out from my hot shower. Hot Steam curled around me , with a towel pressed against my damp hair. I had thought I would get rid of all the pressing thoughts that refused to leave my head, but no, they continued to linger. Elijah's suspicious questions, the strange stares from the maids, servants, and worst of all, the tension between me and Xavier. Especially about the new clause and the fight for the heirship. I don't know why, but I k

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 1: Out of prison

    out of prison Caroline pov A rough shove against my shoulder jolted me out of my thoughts. “Hey, bitch. Time to see the world,” the officer sneered. I glared at him but held my tongue. Normally, I would have fired back with some sharp remark, but today…I just wasn’t feeling it. Call it ungratefulness or mood swings, but for a person that was being released today after staying in the four walls jail for almost a year. I could have balled out my eyes out in tears of joy, but noo. The officer noticed, as he had to make sure I heard his words well, this time roughly shoving me out of the small cell that has been my home for the past one year. “Get up you lucky bitch, I hope you come here again” I raised my middle finger at him, before taking my dress from the counter. Not after the woman officer gave me a look of disgust. “Arrogant rich idiots, they always come back” she muttered under her breath. “Just wait until my husband finds out how you guys treated me…” I threa

My heart pounded against my chest so hard I thought it might shatter.It was Amelda.My best friendAnd the man I had vowed to love. Together.The whore on my matrimonial bed was the only person I trusted.She smirked, lazily covering her nakedness with the duvet before draping her arm over Nathan’s shoulder.“Oh,” she purred. “You’re home early.”The room smelled of sweat, perfume, and betrayal.I swallowed hard, but the lump in my throat wouldn’t go away. My mind continued to scream at me to turn and run. but my legs refused to move.Nathan had the audacity to look shocked, scrambling to cover himself. his mouth opening and closing like a fool caught in a lie."Caroline…" he breathed, as if saying my name would somehow make this less painful than it already was for me.I clenched my fists. "What is going on here?" My voice wavered, but I refused to let them see m

    chapter 3: Eternal bliss Caroline pov Everything that happened next was a blur of actions. So fast for my drunk mind to process all at the same time. The lingering taste of expensive alcohol on my mouth, his intoxicating manly scent that continues to drive me crazy. My mind was clouded, but my body? My body knew exactly what it wanted. Him. No matter how wrong it sounded I didn't want to think. Or try to decide whether my actions were moral or not. This fire was burning beneath my stomach. I wanted it gone. We barged through the hotel door. Lips locked in a fierce battle of kisses. His hands roamed all around my body, firm and possessive, as if he were trying to map out every inch of my body. From my hazy vision, it was a room having a three digit number, but that was the least of my concern, as the door slammed shut behind us. Nothing else mattered, except this… Heat pooled beneath me as he trailed hot kisses from my collar bone down to the base of my neck. I a

    Caroline's pov A dull ache ravaging through my head woke me up from my much needed sleep. The morning light streamed through the beautifully decorated binds…Binds? When did orisons suddenly fix binds for their prisoners?I tried to move my body, but a sharp pain that came from my joints made me realise what a bad decision it was.My body felt heavy and sore. Between my thighs were like they had been lit on fire. What had happened? I asked myself grudgingly, Was I still in the prison room? But the soft duvet was so soft and comfortable to the hard bench that was in my prison room.And again, when do prisons suddenly have a hard, warm body that was emanating a soothing heat.A man's body!.I gasped in horror. Jerking up forcefullyA handsome, incredibly hot man was lying beside me. I looked under the duvet, and my heart stopped.I was naked?With a ridiculous stranger. Immediately, memories of yesterday night started coming in like a dam that was opened.I remembered meeting him

    Carlines pov Divorce papers. A hollow laugh bubbled up in my chest. “You’ve been waiting for this moment, haven’t you?” I spat, glaring at Amelda. “all the fake laughs and concern. Our friendship was just so that you could ruin my life and take everything from me.” Amelda stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper only I could hear. “You were already ruined, sweetheart. I just finished the job.” My hands trembled with rage. I wanted to retaliate, to scream, and most especially, I wanted to wipe that smug grin off her very painted face. If only I had known. I could not have thought or believed that my best friend would turn her back against me. And not just that, even helping to shove a divorce paper to my own face. “Ohh, well, just for you to know, I am already pregnant” Emelda snuggled even closer to Nathan. “What!” I could not help but scream out in shock, despite myself. “Take a look, you barren bitch” she flung a medical report to my face. And there was wri

    Caroline povNathan!!My heart stopped. Literally stopped. Standing before me panting like someone who just ran a marathon was my now ex-husband. Nathan.He looked… rattled. His tie was loosened a bit, maybe to allow air to his burned out lungs. His nicely coiled hair momemt ago was scattered, like he never touched it this morning. And clutched in his slightly shaking hands were a bunch of green office files. his brows furrowed in confusion, like he hadn’t expected to walk into this. Me.His cold eyes locked on me, and then slowly shifted to the man behind the desk.Silence fell again, this time heavier, suffocating.“What the hell is she doing here?” Nathan growled, his voice tight with barely restrained furry, like I was his nemesis.My instincts screamed at me to run. But I stood frozen, stuck between my ex-husband’s fury and the silent, looming presence of the hot stranger behind the desk. the same man I had a passionate encounter with just last night.Nathan stepped forward,

    Caroline’s POVI blinked.Once.Twice.Maybe three times, because my brain simply refused to process what I had just heard.“You… want me to be your what?”“Wife,” Xavier repeated, smooth as ever, like he was ordering a simple cup of coffee. “Sign the contract.”I stared at the folder like it had grown fangs, finally losing it. “Are you crazy?! I choked, backing away. “You just saw what happened. My whole life is falling apart, and you think now’s the time to throw a marriage contract at me?”He didn’t respond.Of course he didn’t.Instead, he moved closer. Slow, calculated steps that made the air feel hum with tension, and my throat even tighter.“You think this is a joke?” I asked, my voice rising with disbelief. “Is this some kind of twisted revenge fantasy or…”“It’s a business arrangement,” he cut in coolly. “I don't have to engage myself in pitiful revenge drama. I need a wife for one day. You need a clean slate and your dignity back. It's a mutual benefit. win win..”I flinche

    chapter 33: Talk to meCaroline’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the tall windows, casting golden streaks across the velvet curtains and polished wooden floor. I blinked slowly, Was it just me.or was there something almost special about the Johnsons estate. Like everything ranging from the air, the sunlights looked fresher.I sank deep into the warmth of the sheets, welcoming the silence of the room and the sound of a soft beating heart.Xaviers beating heart.I inhaled deeply, the scent of him, musky, spice, and something uniquely Xavier, wrapping around me like a second skin.He lay beside me, his breathing steady, his chest rising and falling softly with each breath.I propped up myself, watching. I know it was creepy, but I couldn't help myself.for the first time since I had known him, I saw him without his anger. Without his distant walls that were always around him. No furrowed brows, no clenched jaw. Just… Xavier. Real. Peaceful. And almost Human.My eyes trailed the

Caroline povA strangled gasp escaped my lips, but he swallowed the sound, backing me into a nearby wall. I felt his hands sliding down to grip my hips like he couldn’t decide if he wanted to crush me or worship it.Heat exploded through me like fire.All the anger, all the fear, all the confusion, all the unspent tension from the dinner a few hours ago, was swallowed by his intense kiss, burned away from the intensity of his touch.I was burning, and even though there was no fire, I felt like I should quell the rising heat that had suddenly risen in my body. If not, I might actually burn from the inside out.And I did just that, following my instincts, I clutched at his shirt and pulled him closer. So close that I wished we were not close enough.I could have said no or chose to push him away. To resolve our grievances. But at this moment…I didn't want

    Chapter 31: The unsaid tension Caroline pov"You didn’t disappoint the masterpiece, Caroline," Elijah's words continue to repeat in my mind.Those words were the exact words in the note of the dress that I had worn to the party. Xavier had said it was not him but refused to tell me who it was. But now it all made sense.Why was he so angry?The reason he insisted I change the dress?Cause he knows it was from Elijah.A short gasp escaped from my mouth, I realised too late that Xavier had stopped abruptly and me not lookin had bumped at his back.I shivered, but not just from the chill. But from the chaos that was Xavier breathing down my neck. It looked like he had a lot to say but didn't know how to start.I looked down, wrapping my hands around myself. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. Not after what had happened.Luckily, he said nothing, choosing to cross the driveway, his hand tightly holding mine. I'm a painful grip, but I made no noise.In the distance, I spotted a slee

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 30: You didn’t disappoint

    Caroline povThe music pulsed through the room, a soft, smooth melody that flowed through the hall in a quite strong manner that made it easier for Elijah to twirl me around effortlessly.He moved with grace, like someone who has a lot of years of experience. He knew how to charm a room , and unfortunately, his charm was working a little too well on me."You dance better than I thought, for someone who had never danced before." Elijah said, his lips curling up into a playful smirk as he led me through a slow spin. I huffed, trying not to let his compliment affect me."Thanks... I guess beginner's luck?""No, really," he insisted, pulling me a little closer with a sly tug of my waist."For someone who's supposed to be a new 'Alien’ in our world, you're doing a damn good job keeping up with the tension."I stiffened slightly at the word 'new alien’, it was always a dagger people liked to throw in an insulting way.But Elijah's tone was teasing and, at the same time, not cruel.

    Caroline povI thought the flashes of the cameras and the shocked gasp of the surrounding people would make me chicken out of the kiss.But no, I suddenly felt powerful, it was a last minute feeling that came over me.I allowed Xavier to kiss me. even playing along by going on my toes, holding his head to connect our lips well. His hands had immediately gone towards my waist, pulling me flush against him, as he deepened our kiss. It almost felt real, for once I thought we were actually a real couple. Even after we pulled away from each other, I felt dizziness in my head for a while, my knees had turned to jelly and I could hardly stand up straight. And luckily like he noticed he held me even closer like I was a diamond.but I know better than that.This was just a political move.He was given the public a show.And hell it had worked, his mothers expression was glorious, the top personnel were dumbstruck at Xaviers brazen action. Well, the plan almost worked…Not until his brother

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 28: Miss me brother

    Xavier’s POV I barely tasted the food on my plate. All my attention was focused on the woman sitting at the head of the table, smiling like she had everything on her grasp. My Mother. I watched her every move, which was deliberate, elegant, and poisonous. Each polite laugh, each charming word to the guests around her, was a carefully sharpened blade thrown with a deadly expertise as she addresses people around her. And Caroline. She was sitting beside me, silent with her food barely eaten. I could tell from the constant shifting on her seat that she was uncomfortable, but regardless, she wore a proud look throughout. Her chin lifted, her eyes burning with a quiet, stubborn fire. It made something twist deep in my chest. Something primal. Protective. She wasn’t supposed to be here, not in this den of vipers and lions that are looking for who to devour. And certainly not at the mercy of my mother’s cruelty. I have gone through it first hand, and I won't advise that anyon

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 27: The dinner

    Caroline povI turned, expecting to see some smug, elderly guest with too much champagne and too little manners.But Instead, the woman who spoke was a middle-aged woman who had a presence that made the crowd instinctively part for her.She was stunning, not in the soft, sweet way, but in a sharp, commanding way. As if the whole world revolves around her.Her dress shined like black diamonds, perfectly made, with her hair that was pinned into a sleek, flawless style that I know probably took hours to perfect. Obviously from her attire, she was the most dressed of all the guests..Every movement she made was measured, elegant, and graceful.Cold eyes, perfect makeup, and a chilling gaze . It was obvious without needing any introduction.Xavier’s mother.A woman who owned this empire.A woman people probably begged just to breathe the same air as.The moment she appeared, the already dazzling party seemed to fade by her strong commanding presence.I froze. Simply shocked and speechless
