Damien's POV

"Miss Laurent is here to see you."

"Who?"

"Miss Laurent is here to-

"Ella. What is she doing here?" I questioned, confused as I faced Tony.

"She arrived about 30 minutes ago while you were in the meeting. Insists on meeting you, sir."

Why?

"Why will she come here?" I stood, events of a few days ago replaying in my head.

Her calling me. Asking to accompany her to a house hunt, her previous apartment suddenly had issues with the landlord and hence she needed to move.

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 76

    Isabella's pov "We're at the spot, come over. Dame's here." Was the single text I received. The little piece of information that had set me out on the road, leaving the girls behind because... I still hadn't spoken to Dame.It's been several days already. Long enough for a man to get worried not contacting his beloved. I had even spoken to Austin about it, hence him putting me on call when he heard from Dame. Good thing it was physical though, we could meet then. Talk. I'd probably apologise cause he was going through it, right? The whole manly ego/pride thing. I started to get the full picture the more I digested that Alma's words and attitude. It irritated me, how much more him.The lounge appeared up front on the road. Neon, it read. Same place we'd met up that night, same place where it all fell into place, me meeting Alma for the very first time. In the flesh.A pitiful encounter really. Her crying and everything, but nothing could be done though.And today, Dame was here again

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 75

    Damien's POV Varley sat stunned, appalled. Staring at me with his mouth hanging open. Liquor dripped from his chin, down the front of his white suit."What the hell, man? What the fuck is wrong with you?"I set my glass down.Not bothering to grace that with any response other than, "Watch your mouth.""What?""You heard me."He stared at me for another second, grabbing a handful of napkins from the table."Are you fucking serious right now?" wiped his face, looked at the stains on his suit. "You threw your drink at me.""Damien." Austin leaned forward. "Come on, man. What was that for?""Didn't you hear him?""Hear me? What did I do?""Do you ever listen to the things coming out of your mouth?" I questioned him, he looked at me acting confused."What things? What the hell are you talking about?""Alma." I said straight. "Don't talk about her like that again."For a moment, nobody spoke.Then Varley laughed.Not because he found anything funny. I could tell by the look on his face. "

    Damien's POV "She's now filed a Request for Order, sir. Asking the court to intervene and expedite the process, we can't hold off anymore. We have to make a step.""What about the lawyer? Have you contacted her lawyer?" "We have ," they said, their faces just as serious as the black suits they had on. Reflecting on the ground to ceiling windows I stood in front of. "But as suspected, he's unwilling to cooperate or negotiate any further. The stretched negotiation period from our end has stressed the relationship and his confidence to work with us. It's no longer about the financial disclosures issues, sir. It's court. The matter is out of our hands now."Out of our hands.I almost scoffed at those words, muscles growing increasingly tight as I stood there listening. Digested every single word that's come out of their mouths.Court order.Notice to appear in court.Financial disclosure issues.Settlement issues.Divorce. "So that's it?" I toiled slowly, playing with the drink in my h

  • After I Gave Up On My Husband    Chapter 73

    Isabella's pov He didn't call.Didn't text either. Three days passed after leaving his office like that, leaving Ashford Jewelleries, he didn't call nor check up on me. Not once. If I searched for proof to everything this was it, wasn't it?It wasn't in my head. Something was going on.The more I thought about it, contemplated, considered it all, the more confused and unanswered my questions became. I couldn't continue like that. Couldn't continue sitting still without doing anything, waiting on him. If he wasn't going to attend to my questions, I'd rather ask someone that would. Ask the main source.Alma.Hence, my several calls across to her line. Didn't think she'd connect to the fourth ring, already planned to visit Ashford again. This time not his office. Her department. Surely he'll like that.But she accepted at the end. Agreed to meet with me, and that's how I landed here today, seated and waiting. The fine dining restaurant I was in speaking for itself, luxury. Surely she

    ALMA'S POV Why did I think about that?Why did I think about him of all people, of all places and time to do so??Who's soon to be ex-husband face flashes through their minds when they're about to get kissed?"You know, it might not be that bad." Rosie started, looking at me from the opposite couch. "He probably didn't notice you were-"He definitely did, Rosie. He did. And it was that bad." I let out, dropped on the couch again. Sighing and putting the pillow on my face, ashamed of myself.The hundredth time now. One billionth if we were to count from yesterday, last night, after the date."You should've seen his face, Ro. He was disappointed. So disappointed, I could tell.""Hmm. So you like him now.""I'm not." I pulled the pillow off, "I'm not saying I do, I mean I don't. I do. I mean... Ughhh. I don't hate him, Rosie. I actually do like Gabriel, enjoyed our time together but that's not the point. Point is-"You turned him down when he asked for permission to kiss you goodnight. A

    Isabella's pov "Tell him it's me." I gritted, keeping calm. Trying so hard to. Couldn't get talked about twice. "Tell him it's Ella."Luckily, Tony listened. Disappearing into the office, coming out moments later and then proceeded to hold open the door.A silent invitation. Permission.Insulting.I stepped right in. Stormed my way into the brooding mass of dark interiors blended with black and Grays. Impeccable taste.Then him.Dame. Seated at the front, at his desk. One hand pressed to the bridge of his nose, settling at his jaw. No movements whatsoever. Not even when I dropped my bag with a thud on one of his couches."What was that downstairs?" I started, stood watching him.He looked up, small. "Ella-"You shouted at me." I cut him off, he didn't deny."I know." "You shouted at me in front of your employees."He didn't say anything. A moment
