Adam’s POV:

My brows furrowed, realizing Damian had just been pulling my leg to get a reaction. I was about to smack his head when Hannah’s soft groan from across the bed stopped me.

Like a cauldron call, I rushed over to the bed, sitting by her side. I could feel the heat from her body due to our close proximity. My body temperature also seemed to rise, almost like we were symbiotically connected.

I wanted to hold her, to cup her in my hand and absorb all the pain she felt, but instead my hands just stiffened by my sides, unsure of where to touch. Her body felt like a temple, and I was scared of desecrating it. Just as I rummaged my head for what to do, Hannah suddenly curled up sideways on the bed and wrapped her arm around my waist.

My body froze, breath caught in my throat. It was like the priestess of the temple had laid her sacred hands upon me, and I shivered from the impact.

Damian pulled up to where we sat, his phone in front of our faces. “Jeez! Adam, your face is as red as

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter Twenty Nine

    Hannah’s POV:The sun was already dipping below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of gold and burnt orange. The internet drama was still ongoing, and I had sent Josh home, saying I needed some alone time.As soon as he left, I got into the shower and took a cold bath in a bid to help me calm myself. Since the livestream, I’ve not had time to myself without the noise from either people around me or people online. The gushing sound of the bath tap was a welcome change.Stepping out of the shower, I decided I needed to clear my head, and a drive-through with the windows down and breeze sweeping through my hair might just be exactly what I need. I got dressed, and just as I was about to head out, I received a text. Seeing who the message was from, I wasn’t too surprised, really. “Lenora. It’s about time.” I knew that it wouldn't be long before the online dragging would get to her and make her do something as foolish as threatening me through text. Typical Lenora.“You must think you

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 28

    Hannah’s POV:Top Searches—1. Lenora exposed on livestream.2. Lenora bullying videos.3. #TeamHannah.The top three searches were all about the livestream. People who had supported Lenora earlier were shocked at the twist. And one thing that riled people up more than drama was them realizing that they had been used.It was literally like a manhunt for Lenora on the internet right now. Blogs carried the news. Some TV stations broadcast it. Lenora’s name was the headline, but not for the reasons she had wanted.I scrolled down my feed on Facebook. One post with a picture of Lenora read, “I can’t believe I fell for this witch’s tricks and fake tears.”Someone responded to them, “She had us all fooled. Have you seen the article that said she actually dyed her hair brown because she wanted to look more like Hannah?”“Jeez! She really is sick in the head.” The other replied.On Instagram they had dug into the court video and had found the Instagram page of Lenora’s lawyer. His comments wer

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 27

    Hannah’s POV:Social media has been buzzing for the past few days. The story was on everyone’s lips. Lenora’s name was everywhere—basically anyone with internet access had heard about her. And her conference livestream? It had spread like wildfire, with the whole city excitedly watching.But the big question on everyone’s mind was—would the violent wife, Hannah, show up?The answer?Yes.I stepped into the packed hall, black heels clicking against the tile, and a red leather coat contoured my body outline. It was a statement piece, announcing to the room before I even spoke that I wasn’t here to play the victim or win sympathy. No! I was here to blind the lies with the truth and destroy everything that propagated that lie in the first place.Immediately I entered, all eyes turned to me, camera lights flashed like there was a thunderstorm, and the hall itself rattled to its very foundation from the uproar.“She actually showed up?”“She’s all dressed up like she has nothing to be asham

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 26

    Lenora’s POV:I stormed into the house. “F!ck!!” I roared as I flung my bag across the room.“She won again. She freaking won again, like she always does!!” I seethed with the anger hot in my head, boiling in my veins. I felt like I could literally murder someone, and I knew exactly who my target would be…Hannah.Everything had been perfect before she showed up in Hayes's life. Hayes used to love me; he adored me more than anything in this world, and that love had only increased as we grew up. Growing up with Hayes, I always knew he was the man destined for me. He was the one fate had chosen and curated perfectly for me—my soulmate, my other half.Ever since I was a little girl, I had pictured it: me in a white, flowing wedding gown and beside me, Hayes, in black, standing handsomely and complementing my dress. We would have three kids, a boy that takes after him, and two little angels that would be a replica of me.It was all perfect. All planned out in my head.Until Hannah.She s

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 25

    Hannah’s POV:Lies never hold still for long. When light cuts through the constructed walls of lies, the structure crumbles, the mask falls off, and the truth is laid bare. Nothing is hidden under the sun.And the thing with lies is that they are infectious for the ones who tell them; they spread like poisonous vines. They find themselves building up more lies to cover up for their previous lies. But it gets to a point when the dam fills up so much it begins to pour out, all the lies flooding out in all their sinful glory.Today was one of those days when the dam of lies pours out and the light cuts through its thick constructed walls.The courtroom was drenched in loud silence, the tension palpable in the air; you could almost taste it on your tongue. The warm lighting of the room cast a light shadow on the judge's face, who looked like he was in his late forties. His slant eyes hidden behind round glasses whispered years of experience in his field.I was seated in the defendants sec

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 24

    Hannah’s POV:Josh looked at me like I had just declared we launched WWIII. His face was doe-eyed, his face had visibly gotten paler, and there was still a dribble of coffee droplets on his chin.He blinked himself out of oblivion. “You can’t possibly be serious!” He said in disbelief.I just looked at him, my expression calm but serious. I wasn’t joking.“Hannah! Stop!!” He gasped, his hands covering his mouth in stunned amusement as he realized I was being a hundred percent serious.He shook his head. “But that is madness! Just purely insane.” His legs were starting to wobble, and he sat back down, pushing the coffee cup a short distance away before folding his hands together. “So let me get this straight. You want someone to remind Lenora that she could sue you and ask for a huge amount for compensation?”“Yes,” I said simply.He burst into a deranged laugh. His head fell backwards before he brought it back forward, and his expression changed. “Are you burning up? Perhaps the whol
