Aurelia’s POV

After dropping Cassia off, I drove home with my windows down, letting the cold night air slap the thoughts out of me. But no amount of breeze could silence the ghost of Grant’s stare.

But despite that, the way everyone looked at me tonight, admiration, respect, curiosity, it felt good. Like finally being seen after years of being invisible.

After a long, warm bath, Julien called just like he promised. His voice, deep, tender, grounding, washed away the chaos Grant had stirred.

“I’m so proud of you, Aurelia,” he said for what felt like the hundredth time.

“Thank you,” I whispered, smiling into the receiver.

When we hung up, I curled up in bed, trying to hold onto that calm.

By morning, the sunlight slipped through my curtains, golden and gentle. I made coffee, scrolled through my phone, and just as I started feeling normal again, my screen lit up with an unknown number.

Something inside me hesitated. Sunday mornings were for peace, not ghosts. Still, I picked up.

  • After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession    Chapter 127: The Devil’s Release

    Aurelia's POV The sound of her voice made my stomach tighten. “Why are you calling me?”“There’s something I need to discuss with you,” she said, her tone suddenly serious.I scoffed. “You want to discuss something with me?”“Yes.”I almost laughed at the absurdity. “Selene, last time I checked, you were sleeping with my husband, and openly flirting with my fiancé just weeks ago.”“Okay, we have our differences,” she said quickly, “but this is about Grant.” Her voice trembled slightly, but I didn’t care. “Selene, I have no business with you or Grant. Don’t call my line again.”Before she could respond, I ended the call and tossed my phone onto the couch. What was that about? I didn’t even want to know.For a moment, I considered blocking her number. But something, curiosity or dread, I couldn’t tell, made me leave it.The next morning, I woke up to several unread messages from the same number. There were attachments, videos, pictures.I almost ignored them. But then I noticed the ti

  • After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession    Chapter 126: The Calm Before the Break

    Aurelia’s POVWhen the official ceremony ended and the distinguished guests, relatives, and executives began to leave, the entire mood shifted. The chandeliers dimmed, the lights turned golden, and the soft hum of violins was replaced by bass-heavy beats that vibrated through the floor.The after-party had begun.Oliver was safely tucked away in the suite with the babysitter Julien had assigned, so I could finally let go.Cassia had changed into her third outfit, a glittering silver mini dress that shimmered with every step she took, hugging her like liquid starlight. She looked like she owned the night. And honestly, she did.The MC was a burst of energy, witty, spontaneous, and shamelessly entertaining. “This,” he said, waving his microphone like a wand, “is the part where we forget about work, politics, and polite smiles. Let’s make the bride regret wearing heels!”The crowd roared, and from that moment, it was chaos in the best way.Cassia dragged me to the center of the dance fl

  • After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession    Chapter 125: The Garden Of Forever

    Aurelia’s POVWith everything finally settled, it was time to shift my focus to something brighter, Cassia’s wedding.Preparations began in full swing, dresses and invitations flying through my inbox faster than I could keep up. But when I checked the company’s stock that week, it was finally up by 3%. After months of damage control, we were rising again. The relief hit deep. At least soon, Isolde’s shadow would fade completely soon.Between work, fittings, and endless vendor calls, I barely saw Julien. But missing him had its perks, I found myself sneaking into his office one afternoon, pretending to discuss a report. We ended up tangled against his desk, laughing between hurried kisses. We had quick sex that was needed.The wedding was set in Paris, romantic, of course. Cassia kept insisting she wanted something small, but I knew better. Cassia and “small” could never coexist. Even her version of “minimal” meant crystal chandeliers and imported flowers.When the day finally came,

  • After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession    Chapter 124: Tangled In Peace

    Aurelia’s POV“I can’t believe this,” I whispered, still trying to process it all, after we were seated.“I know, right?” Cassia said, grinning ear to ear as she popped a bottle of champagne. The cork shot across the living room and hit the wall with a soft thunk. We all laughed.The sweet fizz of victory filled the air as she poured everyone a glass. Lawrence, ever the composed one, set his phone aside and looked more relaxed than I’d ever seen him.“Thank you so much for taking this case, even with your wedding around the corner,” I said, smiling at him with genuine gratitude.He gave me a small but proud smile. “It’s my job. And you’re my client, though I’ll admit, seeing justice actually work for my fiancée’s friend, was the best wedding gift I could’ve asked for.”Julien leaned back on the couch beside me. “I can finally sleep at night knowing that man is behind bars and can’t hurt you anymore,” he said quietly.I met his gaze and smiled. “Me too.”Then I turned to Lawrence again

  • After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession    Chapter 123: Five Years And Fifty Million Scars

    Aurelia’s POVBetween the court preparations and Cassia’s wedding plans, life became a whirlwind of emotions, papers, fabrics, and flower samples all blending into one chaotic harmony.Meanwhile, Oliver had settled into a rhythm that amazed me.The chauffeur handled his drop-offs and pickups from school, but one day, I ran late. I came home, heart pounding with guilt, only to find the house faintly smelling of toast and soap.Oliver had taken the spare key from the flower vase, let himself in, showered, folded his clothes into the laundry basket, made toast, and was now sitting at the dining table, brow furrowed, tongue slightly out as he solved his math homework.I stood there for a long moment, just watching him. My little boy, the same one Grant had tried to twist into his reflection, was now humming softly to himself.“Mom?” he said, catching me staring.I blinked and smiled, “You’ve grown too fast.”He grinned.From that day, I made small changes around the house, things to make

  • After Divorce, My Boss Made Me His Obsession    Chapter 122: Freedom In The Rearview

    Aurelia’s POVThe next morning, the air felt different, lighter, clearer. For the first time in weeks, I woke up without dread pressing on my chest.The chauffeur arrived, his usual polite smile in place. Oliver was clutching his lunchbox, chattering about a school project.“You’ll no longer be taking him to his father’s house,” I said firmly.“Yes, ma’am. Mr. Julien already informed me,” he replied with a respectful nod.I smiled, relief washing through me. “Thank you. I’ll be picking him up myself today.”“Yes, ma’am.”As they drove off, I stood outside for a second, watching the car disappear down the street. At work, the hours blurred by. Before closing, I texted Julien:‘I’m heading to Grant’s place to get Oliver’s things.’His reply came almost instantly.> ‘You’re not going alone. I’ll be right behind you.’A smile tugged at my lips. Of course he’d say that.When I told Cassia, she dropped her pen and grabbed her bag. “Oh, no way! You’re not having all the fun without me.”By
