After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 180: Heartbreak And Clarity
Aurelia’s POVFor a week, I worked like a horse. Nights blurred into mornings, and mornings back into nights, my hands never still, my mind constantly moving. Whenever I worked overnight at the factory, part of me was always glued to the CCTV footage at home, making sure nothing happened to Oliver or Sylvette. My heart wouldn’t let me fully focus on the production line without that tether.Eventually, I delegated the monitoring to Tessa. Even so, I kept checking in, obsessive in my way, because nothing mattered more than the safety of my children.The plan had been to dismiss Sophie after her first week, but she proved herself. She was gentle, patient, and attentive. Oliver adored her. Even Sylvette seemed calmer in her care.I paused, considering the practicality. “Stay another week,” I told her. She’d go home in the mornings when I was gone, returning in the evenings. The arrangement was unusual, but it worked.By the second week, our production had exploded. The storerooms were bu
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 179: The Babysitter Dilemma
Aurelia’s POVMonday arrived in a swirl of boxes, luggage, and bittersweet farewells. We packed our things.Mrs. Vivienne stood by the doorway, Sylvette cradled in her arms. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she held the baby, refusing to let go. I couldn’t help but chuckle softly to myself, some bonds are too deep to break, even for a short goodbye.Cassia pulled me into a hug. “I’m going to miss you,” she whispered, her voice trembling just slightly.“I’ll miss you too,” I said, gripping her hands gently. “Please… take care of yourself. Get enough rest, don’t overwork yourself.”She smiled, the kind of small, weary smile that carries both affection and worry. “I will. And you too… I know work will be hectic, but try, okay?”When we finally parted, everyone waved, her father, mother-in-law, her husband, the staff. Each goodbye carried warmth and familiarity I hadn’t realized I’d grown so attached to.On the private jet, I settled beside Oliver, who immediately bounced into a co
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 178: Tracing Memories
Julien’s POVAfter the movie premiere, the noise of cameras and commentary faded quickly, but the silence that followed was louder than any headline. Liora and I didn’t speak for a week.The second week crept in like an uninvited shadow, and I finally forced myself to dial her number.“Hey,” I said.“Hey.” Her voice was steady, but there was a thin edge to it, disappointment she was trying to hide.“Ugh… well, this is awkward,” I muttered, rubbing the bridge of my nose.“Apologizing is awkward?” she asked, a little amused, a little irritated.“No… not really.” I exhaled. “I’m sorry. I acted childish that night.”She didn’t argue. Didn’t make it harder. “It’s okay,” she said. “Just make it up.”“Of course. So what do you want?”“Let’s go on an adventure.”I snorted internally. “Great. Fix the time and day.”The next morning was Monday. The world expected me in the boardroom, but I didn’t show up. Instead, I showed up for her.She wanted an adventure, so an adventure she got.We went s
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 177: A Kiss in Headlines
Aurelia’s POVTwo weeks slipped by like pages torn from a fast-moving calendar.Cassia was doing well, glowing even, as if motherhood had wrapped her in a warm halo. And the twins? They were tiny emperors. Everyone in the mansion was eager to hold them, rock them, breathe in that sweet, new-life scent.One might think Mrs. Vivienne would forget all about Sylvette now that she had grandchildren to fuss over.But no. She doted on Sylvette with the same fierce devotion, carrying her around like a precious heirloom. Sylvette, of course, basked in all the attention, smiling like she knew exactly how adored she was.One evening, after Cassia’s bath, I helped her settle into bed and handed her a steaming bowl of soup. The smell of ginger and herbs drifted through the room, warm and comforting.“Now that you’re in Los Angeles,” Cassia said, her tone light but her eyes sharpened with curiosity, “don’t you feel the little urge to… you know… see Julien?”A quiet sigh escaped me.It was ridiculou
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 176: Where Desire Pauses
Julien’s POVEven after Liora wrapped up her movie shoot, she still didn’t return to Los Angeles. We spoke often, but every call carried a faint distance, as if she were speaking from behind a curtain of worry. Her mother had been ill, then underwent surgery, and Liora stayed back to help her recover.When she finally returned, I didn’t expect the little spark that ignited in my chest. A quiet thrill, unsettling in its honesty. I’d gotten used to her absence… or so I thought.One evening she invited me for a walk. Her estate was unusually calm, dipped in that twilight hush where shadows stretch like lazy cats. The air smelled faintly of jasmine, the kind that always blooms after a hot day.She greeted me with a smile and a paper bag dangling from her hand.“I brought ice cream,” she announced, handing me one.We found a wide tree, its branches curling above us like a cathedral roof. We sat, unwrapping the ice creams. Mine dripped faster than I ate it. Maybe because the scene felt too
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 175: Joy That Came In Pairs
Aurelia’s POVLos Angeles greeted me like an old diary you swear you’ve forgotten, only to open it and feel every memory breathe again. As soon as we stepped off the jet, a sleek black town car awaited us, polished enough to reflect the sky and my nerves.The drive through the familiar streets made my chest tighten. Every corner felt like a whisper of the life I left behind.When we arrived at Cassia’s in-laws’ mansion, the enormous doors hadn’t even finished parting before Mrs. Vivienne swept out like a woman escaping a castle to retrieve her treasures.I braced for a hug. Instead, she sprinted right past me and scooped Sylvette into her arms with the enthusiasm of someone claiming a lottery prize.Cassia burst into laughter behind her, one hand on her pregnant belly. “You’ll get used to it,” she teased.I couldn’t help it. We both folded into each other, hugging tightly. She looked even heavier than she appeared in our video calls, glowing in a way only a woman carrying her own lit
