A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 42: Shopping encounter
Chapter 42: Shopping encounterCaroline's POVThe morning sun had a soft glow through the pink curtains as I opened my eyes. For a few seconds, I just lay there, with my eyes open, trying to make sense of where I was. My first thought was that I was in my dream of a fiery land filled with pink and flying fairies.But the silence and peace didn't last for long.“Rise and shine, heartbreak queen!” Daphne’s voice burst through the stillness as she flung the curtains wide open, causing me to immediately react to it by covering myself with the duvet.“Go away” “We’re going shopping today. No protests.” Daphne ignored my protest, pulling my legs.I blinked up at her, my mind trying to process what she said. “Shopping?”“Yes, you heard me well,” “Daph…but”“Nope. No ‘buts.’ You’ve cried enough to fill a swimming pool. And my pillow has suffered in your hands.” I instinctively looked at the pillow, and to be honest, it was wet with recent tears. “Sorry” That's why we are going out, besi
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 41: What if?
Caroline povA deep growl tore through his chest, which sent tingles down my spine.My brain short circuited. I couldn’t think or smell anything else. The fresh taste of bourbon lingered in his mouth, which drove my senses crazy.He wrapped his hands around my waist. As he devoured my lips like a hungry predator.I knew what he was trying to do, to silence the questions, the pain, the truth. His hands slid into my hair, tugging me closer until our body was brushing each other. And for a fleeting moment, I let myself drown in it. In the madness. In the warmth, I didn’t know I longed for it.His touch ignited something reckless in me.Something that begged to be touched, to be wanted, something that had been buried deep inside me since I was a child. under all the humiliation and suffering of living with a single mother. My fingers gripped his shirt, hanging on for dear life, like he was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.But then…, Joeline.Her name slipped into my mind
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 40: Confrontation
Caroline povI didn’t know what I expected to find when I went searching for Xavier.Anger? Maybe.Silence? Probably.I had thought I would see him, standing alone in the mansion’s garden, staring into the nothingness of the city skyline like it had answers he was desperate for.Earlier on, I didn’t know why he had reacted that way at dinner, but hearing what Daphne had to say about Joeline, I didn't know what to say or act about it either.I was at the crossroads, confused at which road I should take, but after a long time of thinking and well a long time of Daphne convincing me, I decided to act like a wife for once.That was how I found myself patrolling the Johnsons mansions hallway in the middle of the night, hoping to find Xavier, but what I found instead was what I could never see coming.Xavier was standing at a dark corner of the hallway with someone. I could have missed it…,If not for the fact that I tried to even check the dark corners on my search.That was when I saw th
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 39: hallway encounter
Chapter 39: hallway encounterCaroline pov…“Joeline,” Daphne spat out the name like a forbidden curse.And immediately thick Silence descended innthe room. I stared at her, frozen, as my brain tried to process what it had just heard.“Joeline?” I repeated, the name feeling foreign now and giving me a bitter taste just from pronouncing it.. “You…you are saying she caused the fight between the two brothers?”Daphne nodded slowly, her eyes never leaving mine.“She wasn’t always Elijah’s fiancée,” she said. “In fact, she was Xavier’s. Or at least, that was what everyone believed until…” she trailed off.I leaned closer uncounciosly, my heart pounding so loud I was afraid she could hear it. I didn’tknow why, but it was as if my deepest fear was coming to life. “Until what?”“She disappeared,” Daphne whispered. “Right before their engagement was officially announced, in the night, Joeline vanished. No warning. No explanation. One day, she was planning a future with Xavier, and the next d
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 38: Johnsons dark day
chapter 38: Johnsons dark dayCaroline’s POVI didn’t understand what just happened. Everything that had happened in the last ten minutes was like a comedy show.One minute, Xavier was sitting beside me, challenging his brother, tense but composed. The next, he changes from the calm and composed one to a raging bull, and like a storm, he barges out of the dining room. Leaving everyone confused and surprised.Xavier,” I had tried to call him, my voice low with worry, but he didn’t even look at me. His face… his eyes… they weren’t the ones I knew. He looked almost haunted. Tormented.Then he stood, and that horrible scraping sound of the chair against marble filled the room, loud and sharp like a slap.“Xavier. What is the meaning of this?” his mother’s voice rang out, controlled but clearly displeased.And from the looks of things, nobody was pleased,But he didn’t turn back.He walked out. Without a word. Without a glance, leaving me in the midst of the lions.And I just sat there.F
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 37: Joeline
Chapter 37: JoelineXavier povI couldn’t breathe well.Not because the air was thin, but because it felt like my lungs were being ripped out of me, and being replaced by glass.Joeline!.That name alone was enough to let dark barely suppressed memories I thought I had buried start to resurface, memories I had made myself to believe weren't there anymore.But now, now seeing her standing beside Elijah, who had a killer smirk.In this house. Wearing that face. Smiling that smile that had once meant the world to me.I felt like punching someone, or something.anything at all to vent off my anger that was barely at bay.And Elijah…Elijah, had invited her to this family dinner, after everything that had happened three years ago. like it was the most casual thing in the world.My fiancée.That word echoed in my head like a drumbeat. A joke. A curse.The room faded. The chandelier, the table, the chatter of my shocked uncles, Caroline’s puzzled and confused expression, even Mother’s narrowed
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 36: fiancée
Chapter 36: Fiancée Caroline pov I walked beside Xavier, desperately trying to focus on the polished floor. The giant chandelier, rather than what had happened…or almost happened a few minutes ago. I caught myself taking a side glance at his straight and well structured jaw that looked like it was carved by the sex God. I needed to focus. anything but him. But how could I? He looked devastatingly good in that white button-down shirt, sleeves rolled halfway to his elbows, his dark hair carelessly perfect like he hadn’t even tried. lips pressed into that same annoying poker face he wore like armor. A direct opposite of his brother Elija…, I froze, and my silly behavior finally caught his attention. “Are you okay? You look like you would run at any moment.” “I…,it's just that it's a little hot. I am fine” I beamed a nervous smile while trying to calm my inside that was already on fire. I couldn’t believe that I had just compared him with his brother. I hated that Xav
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 35: breakfast awaits
chapter 35: breakfast awaits Caroline’s POV The 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 kn
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 34: Garden encounter
chapter 34: Garden encounterCaroline povWe 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
