Hannah's POV:

The day of the banquet had finally arrived, and I was buzzing with excitement and a hint of nerves. The energy in the air was palpable as I stepped into the ballroom at the annex of the estate to take one final look before the guests arrived. Everything had been meticulously arranged, with the low-hanging lights casting a warm glow over the beautifully decorated hall. Each round table was draped in luxurious white tablecloths, the intricate stitching glimmering like fine embroidery, and prominently featured the crest of the Blacken family business.

As I admired the room, I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride. My father had told me a snippet of what he planned to do today. This was more than just an event; it was going to be my formal introduction to the world as a Blacken. For the longest time, I've lived without the name attached to me that it almost felt strange on my tongue.

The room felt like a dream, transformed with elegance fit for the influential people wh

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 128

    Stacey’s POV;The next morning, I woke up to the melodious chipping of the birds outside as the morning sunlight reflected through the window class. I don’t know if it was the brightness of the day or the excitement from yesterday but I just had a sense of something significant happening today. “I wonder what it will be,” I sang to myself happily as I got dressed for work.1 slipped into my usual white top and pencil skirt with a slit that hugged my curves in all the right places, accentuating my waist and highlighting my toned legs. I called my driver, and we set off for the office. As we drove through the bustling streets, the sounds of car horns and chatter filling the air but I still couldn’t shake off that sense of excitement and my anticipation of seeing Richard wasn’t helping matters. I decided to focus my attention on people watching, just looking at people as they rushed to and fro, each with their own destination and purpose.When we arrived at the office, I bid my dri

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 127

    Stacey's POV:The party drew further as the night grew darker, but the hall was still brimming with the same energy it started on. Mr. Donovan had taken me down to his cellar where he kept all of his wine. It was the largest amount of wine collection I'd ever seen in my life. He had instructed the servers to take some back up to the party, and for the next few hours we had been tasting different wines. “What about this?” Mr. Donovan poured me my thirteenth glass of wine that night. He wanted my opinion after every sip; we had opened a ton of bottles only just to take a sip from each of them. I grabbed the wine glass and gave it a gentle shake before bringing it to my nose to guess the ingredients just from the smell. “Black currant…dark cherry and,” I took a sip from the glass. “Tastes a little like wet earth.” Mr. Donovan took a sip from his glass, and his eyes shot up in astonishment. “Goodness, your taste buds are incredible,” he gushed excitedly. “You guessed all that from jus

    Stacey's POV;“I did it because I love him!” Clara yelled maniacally as the police tried to put her into the back seat of the car. I stood frozen at the front door of the building, still reeling from the events of the last two days. Who would have thought that a simple trip for a movie shoot would lead to my kidnapping by an obsessed fan? If Richard hadn’t found me when he did… The very thought made me shudder.Richard’s hand curled behind me, pressing into my shoulders, anchoring me. “Don’t worry, you’re safe now,” his voice was calm and reassuring. I leaned back into his chest, feeling the warmth radiate from him. Somehow, his presence was the only thing keeping me from crumbling into a million pieces.“This is all your fault!” Clara screamed, glaring viciously at me with her cuffed hands straining against the metal restraints. “You and your stupid boyfriend ruined everything for me!” Her eyes were wild, and I could feel the anger emanating from her. It was crazy how someone could

    Richard’s POV:“I swear, I’m going to bring down that blog and the owner if those pictures ever get posted.” I roared in anger, as I directed my frustration towards an unsuspecting chair, sending it crashing into the wall.“You need to calm down,” Ollie cautioned me. “Getting railed up wouldn’t do us any good.”Ollie was right. I needed to be calm; I mean, nothing had actually happened yet. I could still stop the pictures from getting posted.Luckily, Ollie had connections to someone who worked in ‘Shush-talkz’; the informant gave him a heads up before the pictures were to be posted. Ollie couldn’t convince them not to post the pictures, so I sourced to meet the actual owner of the blog personally.“You’re right,” I exhaled my frustration. “I’ve already arranged to meet with the owner of the blog; I can still convince them not to post those pictures.”“What?” Ollie asked, surprised. “How did you get their contact? I mean, nobody knows who owns ‘Shush-talkz’ because they have been ano

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 124

    Stacey’s POV;I stormed into the room, the door slamming behind me with a finality that echoed in the plush, sterile space of Richard's parents' house. Something bubbled inside me, I don’t know if it was anger, pain, betrayal but I yanked off the jewelry Richard had gotten me that morning, barely noticing as they flew across the floor, landing haphazardly in a corner. My inside twisted as Richard's words cut through my mind, replaying like a broken record. ‘Low-life leech.’ That was what he called me. And as if that weren’t enough, he also just had to sleep with his pregnant ex or whatever they were who he had constantly claimed he felt nothing for. I felt sick to my stomach just thinking about it.The space began to feel suffocating and I needed to escape. I snatched my phone from the bedside table, my fingers trembling slightly, I didn’t expect to get so affected by the events that just unfolded. Aliya's question popped back into my mind, ‘Do you actually feel nothing for him?’I

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 123

    Hannah’s POV:The drive down to my family's house was a long one. As I arrived, the tall black gates opened up, and I drove across a distance of open field before arriving at the main house's front door—there were several buildings on the estate.I stepped out of the car, and a helper rushed out to help me with my baggage. Before I entered the house and took a deep breath. “I'm going with Hayes; I love him, and we're going to build a life together.” This was the last thing I said before leaving.Now I am back, divorced. I knew for sure they were going to try to rub it in my face, and without Adam here as my date, it was only going to give them more reason to talk. But, when you've lived with snakes for long enough, you grow a thick skin, and their venoms no longer do you any damage.I clutched my hands at my sides and took purposeful steps inside. As soon as I got in, I heard a voice from upstairs. “Hannah, you're here. I'm so happy to see you again.” It was Maria, and she was putting
