The soft leather of the sofa pressed against my back as I sat upright, my eyes scanning the document spread across my lap. My fingers absently traced the edges of the crisp paper, a subconscious attempt to anchor myself to the words on the page.

Every clause, every stipulation, demanded my full attention, but my mind churned with unease. After leaving the headquarters this morning, I could not go back to the hell hole of a cottage Sebastian had me sleep in last night, so I came straight to Jane's apartment. That was the only place I could stay for now.

I could tell Sebastian was very upset when I left the office, and I expected him to call me to give his usual orders but I was ready for him this time. He did not get to order me around like his servant, but fortunately for him, he didn't call me. And I wondered what could be going on in his mind.

Jane's footsteps were barely audible against the carpet, but the subtle aroma of freshly brewed coffee announced her prese

  • After Divorce, My Wife Becomes The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 151

    Sebastian povSebastian walked in the streets with his hands in his pocket and all of a sudden, he came to a halt and faced the sky. From the look he had on his face, you could tell that he was regretting something. How could he not have known all this while? He exhaled sharply and walked into his car after one more glance at Alex's company.After some minutes drive, he got to his company, and irrespective of the fact that he seemed confused, he had a smile on his face.“Good morning, sir,” Andrew walked up to him with a file in his hands, and the former smiled at him with his hands in his pocket as they both walked down the hallway and shortly afterward, they were at Sebastian's office. “What's that?” He asked Andrew who gave him a file and stood at the extreme end of the table with his hands behind him.Sebastian looked at it, and from the way his eyes moved, you could tell that he was going through what seemed to be the important details. “One hour from now?” He asked and his e

    Davina povI shut my eyes immediately. Alex said that, and my body froze, just like time stood still. A big mistake, one he should never have made. I clenched my fists beside me and sucked the air in anger before letting it out and I opened my eyes with a smile. A deadly smile that he noticed but without uttering a word, I turned my back on him and walked towards the building but he was faster. He held my hand but quickly let go after I gave him a deadly side-eye. “You should listen to me,” he said with a hint of regret playing in his voice, but I showed no interest, and he walked to my front. “For real, just listen to what I've to say and after that, you can walk away from me or do whatever you want.” “What I want is obvious to not just you, but it's obvious to both of us.” My voice was barely above a whisper but it was laced with venom. “Isn't it?” The look on Alex's face softened each time I looked at it, but at the moment, there was only one thing that was constant, but it w

    Davina pov“What's wrong here?” My voice made the two of them break the eye contact that they made since forever, but it was only for a short period of time since they turned toward one another again.“Do you by any chance, know him?” I asked Jane who shook her head.“I don't know yet,” her voice was barely audible and she turned to me. “But I have this feeling that he's the one.”Tom leaned on the wall with both of his hands in his pocket. “Honestly, I don't know her either; I mean, the first time I saw her was on Friday, so how do you expect me to know her?” My gaze drifted to his neck, where I instinctively sought out the pulse point but to my surprise, it beat steadily, a normal rhythm that belied any signs of deception. If he was lying, I expected his pulse would be racing, but it seemed calm and controlled. I wondered if the distance between us was masking any subtle signs, or if he was just a professional when it comes to telling lies. “Tell me you're not lying,” I voiced o

    Sebastian pov“What was your offense?” Alex said to Sebastian who had just taken his seat. “That made her dislike you this way." He added with his hands clasped together below his chin. “What do you mean by that?” Sebastian questioned with an arched eyebrow. “And who are you talking about?”Alex took a minute to study the look on the face of Sebastian, who was still waiting for an answer from him irrespective of the fact that Alex demanded one first. “You guys have something in common,” Alex finally spoke up and the latter seemed to be interested. “Playing dumb is one of you guys' talents right?" Sebastian, on the other hand, just scoffed. “I'd be lying if I said I know what you are talking about for real,” his words tumbled out in a rush and he did not take his eyes off Alex the whole time, not until he was done with what he was saying. “And as always, I'd act like I don't know you guys are lying," he waved his hand and threw his phone on the table. “How bad did you treat Davina?

    Davina povImmediately Jane asked that question, I froze, with my hands mid-air but she just arched an eyebrow. “It’s just a question though,” she stated with a nonchalant shrug. “And just like as we both know, not all questions deserve to be answered.”But even after she continued what she was doing, I could not take my eyes off her. “You are joking right?” I asked with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. “Like you don't mean it right?”Jane turned to me with a smirk, her eyes narrowing as they locked onto mine. “It’s just a question,” she said casually, “but I swear there’s a spark between you two.”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “God, you've been here for like two days and you’re already playing matchmaker? Seriously?”She shrugged, unbothered. “I asked if you wanted to call him, and you said yes without even blinking.” She paused, clearly watching my reaction like a hawk. “Tell me that is not suspicious.”“I don't remember me saying anything like I want to call him,” I objected with my

    Davina pov“You were not home around past nine yesterday,” My dad broke the silence in the dining and my mother and I paused. “What was the reason?” “Uhhh,” I tore my gaze off him and transferred it to my mom, but her facial expression was also screaming ‘confusion' just like mine, so I had to turn back to my dad. “I told Mom yesterday; I thought she would have explained to you.” He just shook his head. “Too bad she did not explain to me, so I guess you would have to do that yourself.” He took a glass of water and tapped his chest slightly. “Do you have pain there?” I was pretentious but he was quick to notice. “I'm not the type of person who faces two things at a time, so just give me an explanation to the question I asked you earlier: why were you late?” “You don't think it's something bad, right?” I demanded from my dad who just looked me in the eye, nonchalantly. After a long moment of silence, he did not say a word, neither did he flinch, and that was when I knew what he w
