ALMA'S POV

Refusing to think much of it, I turned away completely. Focusing on myself as I started my engine and drove home.

No one behind me.

The time was about 11pm by the time I arrived, my feet ached, my back, muscles... everywhere screamed for comfort and I did just that. Putting down my bag and walking right into shower.

Washing off the day's stress. "Maybe I'll call in late tomorrow." I murmured, considering how tired I was. "It's not like I

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 22

    ALMA'S POV I couldn't get any sleep that night. Believe it or not, my mind kept flashing back to that black sedan, connecting the dots to it, the person that drove that car.The person on those wheels was the one sending those texts and notes. I just knew it.But what prove do I have? What do I do right now? Call the cops? That would only get more attention on me. There was no way cops would come over to my apartment and people won't find out about that. I was lucky enough people in my building haven't noticed me. I mean, I only just willed my mind not to care about the unnecessary attention and now this??"Is this someone online trying to stir trouble?" I asked myself, pausing my pace in my office. Fresh clothes, the sun high up in the air, a new day. "If this is someone online, I swear... I'll find you and crush you. Crush you for toying with me."It could very well be someone close. Someone I already knew. Like Chloe.

No one behind me.The time was about 11pm by the time I arrived, my feet ached, my back, muscles... everywhere screamed for comfort and I did just that. Putting down my bag and walking right into shower. Washing off the day's stress. "Maybe I'll call in late tomorrow." I murmured, considering how tired I was. "It's not like I can't do it. It's allowed. An executive don't need to clock in early like regular staff."Maybe I actually would.The thought floated in my mind as I walked around in my night robe later on. Easily mixing stuff to eat, something small. Pulling out the package I'd received outside my door. Tearing it open. "Congratulations on your new home." I read the words written on the small note. Opening further to see a fancy flower vase. Cousery if the building's representative.

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 20

    ALMA'S POV "Ma'am?" A knock came at my door,I looked up, "Come in." Then back down at the folders in front of me. Feet crossed underneath my sleek desk, white heels fixed on there. A white dress following too. Fitted to my body. "Miss Alma?"I paused, looked up to who called. Finding familiar faces, "Miss Alma!" The voice shrieked out, excited."Gwen!" I grinned also, rising up. Arms open as she rushed over, almost sending us backwards. Unsteady. "Gosh Gwen! You're going to trip her." The others poured in. Smiles everywhere."Hello miss Alma.""Oh my gosh, you look so good, Miss Alma!" Gwen squealed graciously, jumping on her feet. Chuckles leaving my lips. "You guys, Oh it's so good to see you!" I beamed, giving hugs all over. "I'm so happy to see you.""We're happy to see you too, Miss!""Hold on, It's Ma'am now, right? Ma'am, not Miss. We're happy to see you too, Ma'am Alma!" They announ

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 19

    Damien's POV "Dame?"Dame, dinner's ready.""Dinner's ready. Dame." I faintly heard those words. Faintly. Footsteps sounding outside, getting closer but my mind remained fixed. Replaying some other words instead;"Sentiments breeds revenue." "Every advertisement tells a story, every flagship piece becomes part of a named story." Those were the words from that meeting. Her words. And somehow I couldn't stop thinking about them, couldn't stop going over them again and again. It's been over 12 hours already.12 hours since the meeting, her first board meeting, the official announcement/handover. 12 hours since tolerating nuisance of yet another product fail at the hands of another incompetent staff. Everything else was okay of course. Went okay at the meeting, Grandma was on top of it and very serious. Although I didn't agree with her approach, I still couldn't deny the fact Alma was not a tangible asset.

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 18

    ALMA'S POV Her voice echoed throughout the room. Faces and postures redressed, everyone seeing that she was serious. Whereas she, she actually sat with a satisfied smile on her face. Openly showing it."Now that's settled, we can move on to other things like George wanted, right?" She taunted, leaning back and withdrawing completely. Like her work was done. Someone picked up then, clearing his throat."Err, yes." He said, "Our Heritage Collection. Stats have been dropping drastically since second quarter. Since Valmont Jewelleries released their Legacy Collection." He signalled someone with his hands. A staff moving immediately, one I hadn't realised was even present. Soon screens behind grandma came to life, drafts, pictures and videos playing on there. "So?" Someone mused, "You're not scared of those Valmont are you, Caleb?" "Customers have been comparing the two. Our Collection and theirs." The man said, Caleb. "Custo

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 17

    ALMA'S POV "Good day everyone, good to see you all again." "Madam President." "Hmm." She nodded, straightened. "I believe we're all aware of today's agenda, I'll just get into it. Effectively immediately, 10% of my shares will be going to Alma Halter. She'll be a new member of the board, a shareholder and will receive all benefits. Welcome her." Quiet. Silence. The air was clear, then, "Madam Chair..." Someone started, cleared his throat. Male. "Surely this is a joke. I'll admit I saw the memo, but I didn't believe it. I didn't believe this is why I'll be seated here today." "With respect," Another cut in, male again. From my side, the end. "Mrs. Ashford, on what grounds? On what grounds is this appointment happening? I thought we have a process for a
