ABANDONED BY MY EX, ACCEPTED HIS BOSS'S PROPOSAL CHAPTER 61
Chapter 61The sky above the city was streaked with orange and lavender as dusk settled in, casting a soft glow over the skyline. Clara stood on the balcony of Alex Banks’ penthouse, her arms resting on the railing, a cup of tea warming her hands. The breeze stirred loose strands of her hair as she gazed out at the horizon, her thoughts quieter than they had been in weeks.Behind her, the sliding door whispered open, and Alex stepped out. He was barefoot, dressed in a white shirt rolled to his elbows and gray slacks, his hair slightly tousled from a long day. He said nothing at first, just slipped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder."You’re quiet today," he murmured, pressing a soft kiss to her neck.Clara leaned back into his embrace, her eyes fluttering closed. "It feels like we can finally breathe."He didn’t respond immediately. They stood in silence, listening to the hum of the city, the rhythmic beating of each other’s hearts. Eventually, he

Chapter 62 – "The Calm Before"The mornings had shifted.Gone were the days Clara awoke to uncertainty or silence. Now, sunlight spilled over silk sheets, and Alex’s arms were often the first thing she felt—warm, solid, secure. They had found a rhythm. Unspoken, yes. Fragile, still. But real.Clara moved quietly through the penthouse kitchen, barefoot in one of Alex’s crisp button-downs, the hem skimming her thighs. She brewed coffee with practiced ease, the scent filling the open space like memory. The kind of domestic ease she never thought she’d find again. Not after Jeremy. Not after the chaos. But Alex was different now—gentler, more present.Behind her, she heard his footsteps before he even spoke. “You’re up early,” Alex murmured, voice still rough with sleep. He came up behind her, pressing a slow kiss to the side of her neck. “Trying to seduce me before the board meeting?”She laughed softly, leaning into him. “If I wanted to seduce you, I wouldn’t be wearing this much clothi

Chapter 63 – “Building Again”The mornings had begun to feel different.Clara woke up to the rustle of sheets and the quiet hum of Alex brushing his teeth in the en suite bathroom. The scent of espresso drifted down the hall, and in the kitchen, the CEO of Banks Holdings had somehow developed a surprising talent: making breakfast.“Scrambled or sunny side up?” he called out, still shirtless in grey sweatpants.Clara padded into the kitchen, her bare feet silent against the tiled floor. “Whatever doesn’t burn.”He gave her a mock glare over his shoulder. “You wound me.”“I’ve seen your toast,” she replied with a smirk, coming up behind him and wrapping her arms around his waist.It was in these small moments—his hand instinctively finding hers, her head leaning against his back—that the healing took root. No grand declarations. No sweeping drama. Just comfort.They shared breakfast in silence, their knees brushing under the table. Her foot slid along his calf playfully, and he raised a

Chapter 64 – “The First Steps Forward”The steady click of Clara’s keyboard filled the apartment, a soft rhythm against the background hum of life—distant traffic, the occasional chirp of birds outside the window, and the gentle whir of the espresso machine Alex had insisted on installing in the kitchen despite never using it properly.Clara sat curled on the couch, a throw blanket wrapped around her legs, laptop perched atop a pillow. The cursor blinked at the end of her paragraph, a quiet companion to the rush of ideas flowing from her mind to the screen.She hadn’t written like this in months—maybe years. The words came in fits and starts, unsure at first, then gradually more confident. The piece she was working on wasn’t much—a personal essay about healing, written with aching honesty—but it felt important. Necessary.It felt like hers.From the kitchen, Alex leaned against the doorframe, arms folded, watching her with a soft smile.“How’s the masterpiece coming along?” he asked,

Chapter 65 – “Golden Days”The sunlight poured through the windows in golden ribbons, bathing the apartment in a glow that made everything feel new—hopeful.Clara stirred beneath the sheets, the silk-smooth comforter sliding against her bare skin. She reached out instinctively, her hand brushing against warm muscle. Alex was still there. Still real.His breathing was slow, even. Peaceful.She turned slightly to face him, propping her head on one hand as she watched him sleep. There was something disarming about Alex Banks in rest—his expression unguarded, the faint shadows beneath his eyes softened by rest. He looked younger somehow. Softer. A man no longer carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.Clara leaned in and kissed his jaw, just below the slight stubble. He stirred, his lips quirking into a half-smile.“Good morning,” he murmured.“Good morning,” she whispered back, curling into his side.They stayed like that for a while—bodies tangled, hearts beating in rhythm, wo

Chapter 66: "Plans and Promises"***** Morning ComfortClara stirred awake slowly, the golden morning light peeking through the sheer curtains of Alex’s penthouse bedroom. The soft hum of the city far below was muffled, cocooned by the height of the tower and the thick glass windows. For a moment, she didn’t move. She simply lay there, her cheek nestled against the warmth of the pillow, her eyes fixed on the man sleeping beside her.Alex Banks looked more like a boy than a CEO when he was asleep. The worry lines on his forehead had eased, his dark lashes resting against his cheek. His hand was draped across her waist protectively, as if even in sleep, he feared losing her. Clara’s heart squeezed at the sight. There was a peace in this moment she hadn’t felt in a long time.She gently brushed her fingers through his hair, dark strands slipping between her fingers like silk. He stirred, his hand tightening slightly around her.“You’re staring,” he murmured, his voice thick with sleep.“

Chapter 67: "A Place to Call Home"Clara stirred beneath the soft weight of the duvet, the scent of bergamot and cedarwood clinging faintly to the sheets. She blinked against the gentle flood of sunlight trickling in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Alex’s penthouse. For the first time in what felt like forever, her heart wasn’t clenched in anticipation of the next blow. Instead, there was warmth—real warmth. And Alex’s arm was wrapped around her waist.She turned slightly to find him already awake, his stormy eyes softened as they watched her. A half-smile played on his lips. “Good morning,” he murmured, voice low and still rough with sleep.“Morning,” she whispered back, her fingers curling into the hem of his shirt.There were no apologies, no heavy sighs—only the kind of stillness that felt earned. The kind that came after weathering one storm too many. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, letting his lips linger there as if making a silent vow. “You’re home now,” he

Chapter 68: Deepening Bonds The evening stretched out in a comfortable silence as Clara sat on the balcony, her legs curled beneath her, watching the cityscape. The world below was alive with movement, but up here, on this quiet balcony, time seemed to slow. The sun had set hours ago, and the stars had started to emerge, scattered across the velvet sky like tiny diamonds. But her mind was far from the beauty of the city; it was consumed by thoughts of everything that had happened in the last few months.The challenges. The trust they had fought to build. The uncertainty that had clouded their relationship, and the gradual warmth that had taken over. For the first time in her life, Clara didn’t feel like she was just surviving. She felt like she was living. And living with Alex had become something she never expected.Her fingers traced the cool railing of the balcony, the metallic texture grounding her as she thought about how much she had changed since meeting Alex. She’d once belie

Chapter 80: The Choice That Awaits.The next morning arrived with an unsettling calm. Clara woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside her window, the early light streaming through the curtains and painting the room in soft hues of gold. She turned over in bed, her mind clouded with the weight of everything that had been happening lately. The emotional rollercoaster with Alex, the growing distance between them, and the constant pull of Maddox’s words—it was all so much to handle.She lay there for a moment, eyes closed, allowing the silence to wash over her. But soon, the reality of the situation crept back in. The unease she’d felt for days hadn’t gone away. In fact, it had only deepened.Her phone buzzed, pulling her from her thoughts. She reached over to grab it, her heart skipping when she saw the name on the screen. It was Alex.---The Message:"Clara, I need to see you. We need to talk. Can you meet me for lunch today? I want to fix things."---Clara stared at the message

Chapter 79: The Tension Beneath the Surface.The morning sun crept through the large windows of the penthouse, casting long beams of light across the plush furniture and sleek lines of the modern living room. Clara stood by the window, coffee cup in hand, her eyes tracing the skyline as her thoughts swirled. The city beneath her was buzzing, alive with the energy of a new day, but Clara felt an unease she couldn’t shake. Her mind kept returning to the conversation she had with Maddox the day before. His words lingered, like a shadow in the back of her mind, refusing to fade.She didn’t want to admit it, but his words had gotten under her skin.Was Alex really as committed as he seemed?Clara had always trusted him—had always believed in their bond—but after hearing Maddox speak so convincingly, she found herself questioning things she never thought to question before. Maybe it was the way Maddox had spoken to her, so calmly, so assuredly. He’d known just what to say to plant that seed

Chapter 78: The Unraveling GameThe city below stretched out in a tapestry of glittering lights, the night sky obscured by the towering buildings that seemed to touch the heavens. Inside the sleek, modern office, the cold glow from the windows cast long shadows on the polished floor. Maddox leaned back in his chair, the quiet hum of the air conditioning the only sound in the otherwise silent room. His eyes were fixed on the files spread out before him, each one representing another calculated move in a game that had been years in the making.Maddox had always prided himself on his ability to stay three steps ahead of his competitors. His rise in the business world had been relentless, driven by an insatiable hunger for power and control. But there was one thing—one person—that had always eluded him: Alex Banks. The man who had everything, the empire that seemed untouchable, and the woman who had stirred something in Maddox’s heart that he thought was long buried. Clara.He could almos

Chapter 77: New BeginningsThe morning after their tentative reconciliation was nothing like Clara had expected. She woke up to the sound of rain tapping against the windows, soft and steady, as though the world outside was breathing in sync with her own conflicted heart.She had expected the night to weigh heavily on her mind, but instead, there was a strange sense of calm. Alex’s words, his touch, his promise—everything lingered in the quiet of the room, a soft warmth that eased the tension that had built up between them over the past weeks.As she sat up in bed, her gaze wandered to the half-empty space beside her. Alex was gone, but it wasn’t the absence she feared. It was the quiet certainty that he was still there, in the sense that he hadn’t left her, and that, despite everything, she hadn’t left him either.She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock. It was still early, too early for business, too early for anyone to be stirring in the office. But there was something about t

Chapter 76: Unraveling TensionsThe moonlit night had barely settled when Clara entered the penthouse, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The sounds of the gala still echoed in her ears—the laughter, the clinking of glasses, the hum of conversations. But as she closed the door behind her, the buzz of the outside world seemed to vanish. Inside, everything was still. Everything was charged.Alex sat on the edge of the leather couch, his sharp silhouette outlined by the dim glow from the chandelier. His jacket was discarded, the sleeves of his dress shirt rolled up to his elbows, exposing the tension in his posture. He looked like a man at war with himself. But Clara wasn’t sure if it was with her or with something deeper.Her gaze flickered toward the empty space beside him on the couch. “You’re here,” she said quietly, her voice more unsure than she intended.Alex didn’t answer right away. He was staring at his hands, his fingers moving as if he were mentally organiz

Chapter 75 — The Gala: Unmasking the ShadowsThe grand ballroom was a spectacle of shimmering lights and glimmering elegance, a stark contrast to the dark thoughts that plagued Clara's mind. The night of the gala had finally arrived, and despite Alex’s reassurances, she couldn’t shake the unease that clung to her. She had seen it in his eyes—his quiet determination that he was shielding her from something, but tonight, she was all too aware that the world around them was watching.She and Alex had arrived earlier in the evening, gliding through the crowd, their presence magnetic. Every eye turned when they entered—Clara in her silver gown that caught the light with every movement, Alex in his sharp black tuxedo, a man of power and control. Together, they were a force, a perfect picture of wealth and status.But despite the beauty surrounding her, Clara’s mind kept wandering back to the small, almost imperceptible gestures she had picked up over the past few days. Alex’s phone calls th

Chapter 74 — Shifting SandsThe night was quiet, an eerie calm that felt almost unnatural after the whirlwind of the past few weeks. Inside the penthouse, the gentle hum of the city below seemed to fade, leaving only the low, rhythmic sound of Alex's breathing as he lay in bed beside Clara.Clara’s fingers traced slow circles on his chest, her mind wandering despite the quiet peace between them. The gala loomed just days away, but tonight felt like a moment to pause, to let the world slip away for just a few hours.Alex's hand found hers, intertwining their fingers, as if sensing the shift in her mood. His touch was warm, reassuring. "You’re thinking too much," he murmured.Clara smiled softly, but there was an edge of something darker in her expression. "I just... I’m wondering how we got here."Alex raised an eyebrow, his lips curving into a small, knowing smile. "You mean to say, how you ended up in bed with a billionaire who has a penchant for being overprotective?"Clara laughed,

Chapter 73 — A Whisper in the CrowdThe soft melody of jazz floated through the upscale boutique as Clara ran her fingers lightly over the racks of shimmering dresses.The gala was only days away, and despite Ivy’s enthusiastic insistence that she would find something perfect, Clara still felt a little out of place surrounded by the glittering fabrics and luxury labels.Ivy trailed after her, arms full of selections she deemed "absolutely necessary to try on.""Come on, Miss Vale," Ivy teased, holding up a deep green gown that looked like it belonged on the red carpet. "You’ll be the most beautiful woman there."Clara laughed lightly, but her heart warmed at Ivy’s earnestness."I think you’re a little biased," Clara said, taking the gown and heading for the dressing room.As she disappeared behind the heavy velvet curtain, Ivy lingered near the mirrors, flipping absently through her phone.The boutique’s front door chimed softly.Two sharply dressed men entered — neither looked like t

Chapter 71 — Shadows from the PastThe morning sun flooded through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, casting golden light over the world Alex Banks and Clara Vale were slowly rebuilding. The scent of fresh coffee drifted through the air, and soft music played in the background — the quiet, beautiful rhythm of a life Clara never thought she’d have.She stood by the kitchen island, still in her silk robe, stirring her coffee absently. Her mind was elsewhere — half on the chapter she was writing, half on the way Alex had seemed... distracted lately.Nothing overt. Nothing she could accuse him of.But Clara could feel it — the slight pauses, the way his eyes sometimes drifted toward the window like he was searching for something unseen.“Hey, dreamer,” Alex said, walking in, crisp and magnetic in his dark grey suit. He kissed her cheek, lingering for a second longer than usual, like grounding himself.“You’re late,” Clara teased, nudging him playfully.Alex chuckled lowly. “I
