Chapter 55

Drew's pov

I had all my cards played out during my last meeting with Alia. Now all I had to do was wait for her decision. But waiting wasn’t as easy as I thought. From the moment she left my office yesterday, the day went by more slowly than usual. And after sending her that email, I kept refreshing my inbox over and over again, but she hadn’t responded.

I stood up from my office chair and rested against the edge of the table, crossing my legs and staring at nothing in particular. T

  • After The Vows   A taste of her own medicine

    Chapter 138My eyes widened.“Priscy… is that an audio file?”A grin spread across her face.“Exactly what we need.”She tapped her phone screen.“Listen.” She pointed at her eyes.The recording started.At first, all I could hear was noise and shouting voices. I recognized Priscy’s voice, Kirah’s voice, and mine.The sound of things breaking echoed through the speaker.Then Kirah’s voice came through clearly.“You think I care?” she screamed. “You deserve everything happening to you!”“Priscy!” I let out in shock, my hands flying to my head.“Shhhhhh.” She placed a hand over my lips. “It’s just starting.”I swallowed hard and turned back to the phone.The recording continued.“The scandal is all my doing and I Kirah take full responsibility for it because you deserve it, you low-class whore!”I clasped my hands together.“Oh my God.”I turned to Priscy.“You recorded this yesterday?”“Of course I did.”She flipped her hair proudly.“Why would I go to war without weapons?”She laughed

  • After The Vows   The press conference

    Chapter 137Alia's povThe first thing I heard when I woke up was Alice screaming downstairs.“Alia!”I jumped slightly from my bed.What now?My heart immediately started racing.Please don’t tell me another problem has started overnight.I hurriedly got out of bed and walked downstairs.Alice was sitting on the couch holding her phone.Her face lit up when she saw me.“Girl!” she grinned. “Your ex-husband actually did it.”I blinked in confusion.“What are you talking about?”She shoved the phone into my hands.I looked at the screen.Drew was standing behind a podium surrounded by reporters.His expression was serious.“Miss Alia Roberts has absolutely nothing to do with the rumors currently circulating online,” he said firmly.“This entire situation was created by malicious interference from an outside party.”Camera flashes exploded around him.“We have already begun legal proceedings and everyone involved will be held accountable.”A reporter immediately raised his hand.“Mr. Ja

  • After The Vows   The happiest have been in a long time

    Chapter 136 Drew pov One of my hands handled the steering wheel as I drove home while the other rubbed my cheek where Harry had punched me. Strangely, I didn’t feel angry or even feel pain. Instead, I felt satisfied and relieved. Satisfied that I finally punched Harry after holding it in for so long. Every time I saw him with Alia and heard him run his mouth, I wanted nothing more than to punch those lips of his. A big smile appeared on my face. But that wasn’t even the reason for the smile on my face. Tonight… Everything suddenly felt clear. I finally understood my feelings, which were wanting Alia in my life. Not because of the kids. Not because of guilt. Or even because I wanted to fix my mistakes. I genuinely wanted her. I had been fighting that feeling for months, trying to bury it and act like it wasn’t there. But tonight… I felt free. Then my lips slowly curved into another smile. That kiss. God. I could still feel her lips on mine. I

    Chapter 135“Jesus Christ, Harry!” I yelled as his fist landed on Drew’s jaw.“You don’t know what’s coming,” Drew rubbed his jaw angrily before rushing at Harry.“That’s enough!” I shouted at both of them.They were behaving like cats and dogs.Harry went for him again, but in the process of trying to separate them, I didn’t know when one of them pushed me.My foot slipped.The next thing I knew, I lost my balance and fell hard on the ground.“Ouch!”I felt a sharp pain in my back immediately.“Alia!” they both screamed at the same time.Both of them rushed toward me, each trying to hold my hands.“Let me go!”I pushed both of them away and slowly brushed the sand off my body and stood up slowly.My palm was slightly bruised.Harry and Drew immediately took a step back.“Let me help you with that.” Harry walked toward my sandals that had fallen off when I slipped.“Don’t!”My voice came out louder than usual.It was the first time I had ever raised my voice at Harry.I was just frust

  • After The Vows   Drew vs harry

    Chapter 134 “What did you just call me” A scum,” Harry repeated it without hesitation. Things were about to get ugly if I didn't act fast The tension between them could burn down a full house. “Harry, let’s go inside.” I grabbed his hand. But he didn’t move. He kept staring at Drew. “You do realize Alia is in this mess because of you, right?” Harry pointed at him.“Your psycho ex paid a reporter to take those pictures. Even the blogs that posted them.” My eyes widened. What? “So Kirah really did all this?” My stomach twisted painfully. I knew she had a hand in it. I just didn’t know how. “How do you know this, Harry?” “My tech team tracked the first anonymous blog that posted it,” Harry explained calmly. “We found the owner and threatened to expose him to the police.” He glanced at Drew briefly.“He gave us the contact of the reporter.” My chest tightened “And?” “And the reporter confessed he was working for Kirah.” Drew cursed under his breath. “That cr

    Chapter 133The moment our lips parted, my senses came rushing back.Oh my God, what did you just do, Alia?I screamed inside my head.No no no.This shouldn’t have happened. I quickly touched my lips.I pinched myself was I dreaming??I felt a sting on my skin after pinching, This wasn’t a dream,I actually kissed Drew.My heart sank. How could I lose control like that?After everything he put me through?How could I forget so easily and melt in his arms?I hated myself right now.“Alia…” Drew called softly, watching my reaction carefully.I immediately shook my head.“Listen…” I cut him off quickly, afraid of whatever he was about to say next. “This was a mistake, Drew.”He frowned.“A mistake?”“Yes, Drew. A mistake.” Both my hands flew to my face in frustration. “This should never have happened. What was I even thinking?”I hit my forehead.I looked away immediately, unable to face him. I need to get out of this car now before I do anything stupid again.I reached for the door handle
