After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 114: Broken But Held
Aurelia’s POVI had made it to the sitting room, ready to leave, when she stopped me.“Look, Aurelia,” Mrs. Knightley said softly, her voice calm but firm, “I’m not a mean person. I just want the best for my son.” She picked up a paper from the side table and approached me. “This is a check, fifty million dollars. Consider it… for your troubles. Just let go.”I forced a small, polite smile, keeping my voice steady. “You don’t have to compensate me, Mrs. Knightley. I also want the best for him.”With that, I quietly left the house. The cold evening air hit me as I slid into my car. I gripped the steering wheel, trying to keep myself together, but tears blurred my vision. I wiped them quickly, forcing myself to focus, and managed to drive back home.Once inside, I collapsed against the door, sliding down until I sat on the floor. The hot, stinging tears I had been holding back finally poured freely. My phone rang somewhere beside me, but I ignored it, tossing it aside like it didn’t mat
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 113: Aprons And Heartache
Aurelia’s POVThat evening, I was on call with Julien, telling him what had happened earlier.“She actually went to the disciplinary team,” he said, his tone a mix of disbelief and irritation. “Filed a complaint that your department harassed her. I told them to drop it.”I chuckled softly. “You didn't believe her?”“Come on, Aurelia. It’s Isolde. Drama is her oxygen,” he sighed.“Indeed,” I said, letting out a quiet laugh. The next morning, I went down to the lab to run a few tests for a new project. The air was crisp, the machines humming, and for a while, it was peaceful, just me and my focus.Until her heels clicked in.The moment I saw Isolde stride in, I simply adjusted my gloves and continued what I was doing. I didn’t even glance up.She sat across from me, her reflection glaring through the glass divider. “Look,” she began, voice low and venom-sweet, “I get it. It’s rare to find a man like Julien. But clearly, no one wants you. And sooner or later, he will be mine. Why are yo
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 112: The Cafeteria Showdown
Aurelia’s POVThe next morning, the news was everywhere, too loud, too bright, too relentless.No matter how hard I tried to avoid it, it found me. On social media. On my phone notifications. Even the TV wouldn’t let me breathe.> Rumors concerning billionaire CEO Julien Knightley and heiress Isolde Cyrus have been confirmed after their appearance together at the gala last night.Another headline followed, this time with pictures. Julien in his tux, hand at Isolde’s waist, her smile polished to perfection.I exhaled slowly and set my phone down like it was something fragile that could burn me if I held it too long.“It’s nothing,” I whispered to myself, though it sounded like a lie I was tired of repeating.To clear my head, I dressed Oliver and decided we were going out.We ended up at Cassia’s house. She opened the door in pajamas, her hair wrapped in a towel and a mischievous smile already waiting for me.“I assume the headlines are toying with your heart,” she said before I even s
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 111: Not Today, Heartbreak
Aurelia’s POV“Good morning,” I said calmly, stepping in and taking the seat opposite her desk.“I never asked you to sit,” she said, her tone clipped, eyes fixed on her laptop screen.I crossed one leg over the other. “I figured I should let myself, seeing that you’re busy.”Her fingers stilled on the keyboard. Slowly, she raised her gaze, eyes sweeping over me from head down with that same disdainful precision I’d come to recognize. The kind that tries to peel dignity off your skin.She exhaled sharply. “I learned you sent an email regarding your salary.”“Yes,” I said evenly. “The accountant didn’t respond. Instead, he directed me to you.”“Of course,” she said, almost lazily. “As the financial manager in charge of future budgets, I stopped your salary.”For a moment, I thought I misheard her. “You… stopped my salary?”She tilted her head slightly. “Yes. I did.”I inhaled slowly through my nose. “May I ask why?”“You’re unstable,” she began.That word again. That cursed word. I fel
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 110: Cold Wars In Glass Offices
Aurelia’s POVThe next morning, after breakfast, Julien left.I made him promise to go straight home and take his pills. He looked a little better but still pale.When the door closed behind him. I cleaned up, played with Oliver for a while, then just sat staring at the half-empty cup of coffee he’d left on the table.By afternoon, Cassia came over, practically glowing.She walked in like a burst of sunlight, hair bouncing, smile contagious. “You didn’t come to work yesterday, and when I called you didn’t pick up. What happened?”Her joy was so radiant that I didn’t have the heart to weigh it down with my emotional mess.“Not really,” I said lightly. “Julien and I had a little fight, but we’ve sorted it out.”Her brows furrowed. “A fight? What could possibly make you two fight?”I laughed it off, waving my hand. “Don’t worry about it, Cass. You’re the one glowing. What’s happening?”Her face lit up again. “I told Lawrence the truth about my family,” she said. “Everything. And he didn’
After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession Chapter 109: If Love Can Endure
Aurelia’s POVWhen I got home that Thursday, everything inside me just broke.I dropped my bag by the door, leaned against the wall, and before I knew it, tears came rushing down. The kind of tears that sting, not because of sadness alone, but because of betrayal, confusion, and exhaustion.I called Cassia. She sounded happy, probably out somewhere. I didn’t want to ruin that mood, so I forced a smile through the phone.“Have fun, okay?” I said, swallowing everything I really wanted to say.Julien called me later that night. I saw his name flash across the screen again and again, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer. My heart didn’t know what to feel anymore.By Friday morning, I didn’t go to work. I couldn’t. The thought of pretending like I was fine, smiling at everyone, while my chest felt heavy? No. I stayed in bed for hours, staring at the ceiling.Then something inside me snapped. Out of sheer frustration, I sat up, opened my laptop, and applied for three jobs back-to-back. I d
