After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back Chapter 162
Isabella Two weeks pass—and just like that, everything settles into a rhythm that feels almost… too normal.Work becomes the center of everything again. Meetings, site visits, reports—days blur into each other until time starts moving without me noticing. Whatever chaos followed the funeral slowly fades into the background, replaced by routine and deadlines.Lucas doesn’t reach out again.Not a single call. Not a message.Like that conversation never happened.And somehow—that silence feels louder than anything he’s said before.Emily shows up less too. When she does, it’s brief, distant, controlled. No unnecessary interactions, no tension-filled exchanges—just presence, then absence again. It leaves the space lighter, but not necessarily safer.Because something still feels off.Even if no one’s saying it out loud.So it’s just us.Work. Responsibility. Routine.And Gabriel.—Tonight, he picks me up from home.The moment I step out, his car is already there, engine running, headl
After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back Chapter 161
Isabella The drive back feels longer than it should.Maybe because the silence inside the car isn’t empty—it’s filled with echoes of a conversation that refuses to settle. Lucas’s voice lingers in my mind, calm and certain, the last thing he said replaying in a loop I can’t quite shut off.You’ll regret this.My grip tightens slightly on the steering wheel, my gaze fixed on the road ahead as I let out a slow breath. For a brief second, I let the weight of it sit there—let myself feel what it’s supposed to do.Fear.Doubt.Hesitation.But none of it sticks.Because beneath all of that, there’s something steadier. Something stronger.I’m not afraid of him.And more than that—I’m not afraid of choosing Gabriel.By the time I pull into the company building, the tension has already settled into something controlled again, tucked neatly beneath the composure I wear like second skin. I don’t waste time lingering, stepping out of the car and heading straight inside, my pace just a little qu

Isabella “That’s why,” he continues, his tone lowering just slightly, something more strategic settling into his voice, “I came prepared with an offer.”The words settle between us—quiet, controlled, but heavy enough to shift the entire direction of the conversation.I don’t speak right away.I just watch him.Because men like Lucas don’t make offers unless they’re already sure of their position.And somehow—he thinks I’m negotiable.He reaches into the inner pocket of his coat with unhurried precision, pulling out a slim document and placing it neatly on the table between us. The movement is smooth, practiced, like this is something he’s done before—handled people, arranged outcomes, closed situations.“Take a look,” he says calmly, gesturing toward it with a slight nod, his gaze never leaving mine.I don’t touch it.Not immediately.Instead, I lean back just slightly, crossing my arms as I hold his gaze, my expression unreadable. “You went through all this trouble,” I say evenly,

Isabella I don’t move right away after the call ends.For a few seconds, I just sit there, staring at the now dark screen of my phone, letting the weight of what just happened settle properly. This isn’t a coincidence. Lucas doesn’t call without reason—especially not like that.Especially not asking to meet in secret.My fingers tap lightly against the desk once… twice… before I finally straighten, the hesitation gone as quickly as it came.If anything—this just confirmed it.I close the folder in front of me, sliding it back into the drawer with deliberate care, making sure nothing looks out of place. No traces. No loose ends. Whatever this is, I’m not risking anyone stumbling into it—not Elias, not Mia… and especially not Gabriel.Not yet.I grab my phone and stand, smoothing out my blouse as I step out of my office, my expression already shifting back into something composed, something normal—like I’m just stepping out for something routine.My secretary looks up the moment I app

Isabella Days pass, and just like that, everything begins to settle into something that almost resembles normal again.The world doesn’t stop—not even for grief. Meetings resume, deadlines return, and responsibilities quietly take their place back into my life like they never left. If anything, the routine feels heavier now, like I’m carrying something beneath it that no one else can see.Today, I’m in the office.Elias is on-site, overseeing the project personally, and Gabriel chose to be there too. I didn’t question it. I know he’d rather stay busy than sit still with everything that’s happened. And someone has to handle the clients—so that leaves me here.By the time I step into the meeting room, the clients are already seated—two senior representatives and a project consultant, their expressions polite but expectant. The moment I walk in, their attention shifts, and I meet it without hesitation, offering a composed nod as I take my seat across from them.“Thank you for waiting,”

Isabella The cemetery slowly empties.One by one, the black umbrellas disappear, the murmured condolences fade, and the quiet becomes something deeper—no longer shared, but personal. Fresh soil rests over Margaret’s grave, the flowers carefully arranged above it, pristine and untouched… almost too beautiful for something that marks an ending.I stand beside Gabriel the entire time.I don’t let go.And he doesn’t ask me to.Eventually, the last of the guests begin to leave, their footsteps softer now, more respectful, as if lingering too long would make the loss feel heavier than it already is. The media stays at a distance, held back just enough to keep this moment from turning into spectacle—but their presence still lingers like a shadow at the edges.It’s only when the space starts to clear that Elias and Mia finally step forward.Mia reaches me first, her expression gentler now, the earlier tension replaced with something more sincere. She pulls me into a brief hug, her voice low

Isabella The roses sat on the table, their dark petals almost glowing in the low light of the dining room. I traced the edges with my finger, feeling the velvety texture, and my thoughts drifted back to Gabriel—his presence, his words, the way he had lingered in the doorway for that fraction of a

Isabella Time stopped behaving normally after that.Days blurred into weeks, and weeks folded into something quieter—steadier—but no less heavy. Life didn’t slow down because I was pregnant. If anything, it demanded more of me.The vineyard came first.It always had.Mornings began before the sun

Isabella The day of the gala arrived wrapped in calm sunlight, the kind that pretended everything was normal. I stood in front of the mirror longer than usual, studying my reflection with a critical eye—not out of vanity, but strategy. Appearances mattered. Tonight especially.The dress I chose wa
