The One I Left Behind

Caroline’s POV

The wind in Florida felt different.

And it carries with it a gentle cool feeling that soothes the soul

It was everything I had prayed for when I chose it, as my place of solace. The outskirts of florida, a place where no one would even think of looking.

It was like a secluded quiet world hidden away from the properouse and surveillance-ridden mansion of the Johnsons. Here No alarms, no board meetings, no watchful eyes of his mother. And especially no joeline waiting to stab me from the back.

Just… peace, and quietness. The streets were full of cracks, and trees were left to grow wild. The houses were all wooden, a deep contrast from the skyscrapers and wealth that could be found anywhere round the Johnsons estate.

The locals were all accommodating and barely asked questions. Minding their own business.

That was what I needed, to stay hidden as long as possible.

It’s been two and a halve month since I disappeared. Since I ran from the only man

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 96: Shattering Realizations

    Shattering Realizations Xavier’s POV The hospital walls were too white, the familiar scent of the beeping machines and heavy detox scent hung heavily in the air. Around me was too silent, well, except the chaos that was running free inside me. Like a caged storm wanting to let go. I paced the cold floor outside the ICU, my hands clenched, and my mind wandered from one scenario to another of how everything was supposed to play out. I had pictured Elijah, denying the evidence. Hence, I brought and prepared contingency plans in case it goes south. I had envisioned Joeline's family trying to plead on her behalf, and I had five pages of the do and don't of my family crammed throughout the night. Pointing out her sins and making it difficult for even a god to save her. Security was placed at strategic places surrounding the secretariat. Even extending to the neighboring cities and towns. I wouldn't want the mistake of the last summits to repeat itself. I had even prepared for the var

    poisonedXavier pov”This is slander!” Elijah snapped, standing now. “You are letting power blind you. You are going overboard”I didn’t blink nor engage him. “Is that so? Then maybe you’ll enjoy hearing for yourself.”I hit the remote in my hand.The speakers flared to life. It was faint at first, but then the voices became clear:> Elijah’s Voice: “She won’t be a problem. I made sure of that. By the time it’s over, she’ll either leave or break, and if not…”> Joeline’s Voice: “We need that test erased. You said you’d handle Jeff.”Heavy silence descended.Pure, deafening silence. The room filled with hundreds of elite citizens suddenly turned into a graveyard.Mother now had a burning rages now in her tired eyes, Few family heads turned sharply with looks of shock and surprise, followed by a few gasps and murmurs.Elijah tried to act confident and cocky. “That could be faked. It’s edited.”“Don’t insult our intelligence,” Josh, the head of intelligence growled from the back.“You h

    Second summitXavier’s POVTwo weeks later,The letters had circulated, all the channels in the world boomed with one news headline. “The second world summit”It was the first ever recorded second summit, to have ever been called in the space of three months.The renovated secretariat hadn’t been this full from the last summits that have been held here.Gold chandeliers hung low, casting fractured reflections on the mirrored marble floor. Guards in black stood at attention at every corner of the room. The banners of all the twelve ruling families fluttered behind the obsidian podium, Moretti, Lennox, Gallaghers... and, of course, the most powerful and the rolling family, the Johnson crest hung above them all.Yet, despite the grandeur of the hall, and the tight packed security, the air was heavy.Suffocating.It was an emergency two week summon of all the families and important dignitaries in the world. an act unheard of. And this time it was not just a secret meeting like usual…th

    The Crown of LiesXavier’s POVThe sound of my shoes continued to echo through the hallways as I marched angrily like a general on his way to the battlefield. The door to my mom's room loomed before me like an impenetrable fortress. I took a moment to let myself wander for a while at what the east wing had become. The hallways to my mothers private lounge were eerily silent, a former ghost of it bubbling sef. It's been a long time since I ever stepped foot here. But that was a long way before my father's death. I pushed the door open without any form of formalities. The number of people in the world that could do this could be counted on one hand. But as of this moment, I didn’t care.Because right now, I need answers.The doors slammed on the sparkling walls rattling the entire room. I almost vomited blood on seeing the woman that had caused it all, relaxed as of the my whole world have not collapsed.She lay there on her lounge recliner, wearing a red coloured silk robe, with two

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 92: raging storm

    raging stormCaroline’s POVIt's been a few days since Xavier had found my hidden place. The day my carefully mapped out life crumbled in ashes.I could hardly sleep a wink since that day, not out of fear,No, I have already come to terms with the fear that had settled deep in my bones long ago, but it was from the sheer confusion of all that had happened.He left.Just like that,The exchange continued to replay in my mind every passing minute. It was so easy, and without any form of fight or struggles, he had agreed for once to let me be.But not after accepting his condition,Because the next morning, the quiet little ghost town I had come to call home was no longer mine.Black SUVs had rolled in during the early hours, blending awkwardly into the rural and local surroundings of the town. Men in suits stationed could be found on various strategic points, all looking relaxed and trying to blend in with the locals, but it was so obvious that these were the men Xavier talked about.Bu

  • A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss   Chapter 91: The Knife Between us

    The Knife Between Us Caroline’s POV I could believe what my eyes were actually seeing. The silence that stretched after I whispered his name was so unbearable, more than I could bear. He didn’t speak. He didn’t have to because the pain and rage in his eyes said it all. “I…i what are you…” I trailed off, not knowing what to say at the moment. Xavier stood up from the only cushion in the small room. He stepped to the center of the room, his presence filling the tiny space like he owned the place, like the space had been waiting for him all along. His hawk eyes roamed around the room. I couldn’t help looking down in shame as Xavier took in the state of the room. A worn-out couch, old faded curtains I had purchased one time from the market, then the cracked filled walls. His gaze paused briefly at the tiny baby socks I had knitted in the morning. I saw his gaze harden the more as he continued to drink in the small room that was the cabin. It was just a run-down cabin that offere
