After You Broke My Heart Chapter Eighteen
I stared at them for a few seconds before stepping aside to let them in. Leah walked in first and dropped her bag on the sofa. “We didn’t want to.”I frowned. “Why?”“Because we knew you’d just tell us not to bother ourselves because of you,” Zara answered and closed the door.“Yeah,” Leah said. “After everything that happened yesterday, we didn’t want you staying alone tonight.”I sighed. “I’m fine.”Leah shot me a look. “That’s exactly what you said yesterday.”“Because I really am.”“That’s good.” She smiled. “Then you wouldn’t mind us staying.”I rolled my eyes. “You two are impossible.”“We know,” Zara said as they glanced at each other, smiling.While they settled in my living room, I went to get them some drinks. Leah kept talking about the most random things, like how she almost got chased by a dog during her morning jog today. Zara laughed at almost everything she said, and I found myself laughing too.Maybe this was exactly what I needed, not another conversation

I walked back with my head lowered, hoping that no one would notice me. I had somehow turned fifteen minutes into half an hour, and the worst part was that it had not even been something important. I dropped into my chair and looked at the clock. 1:20 p.m. I sighed. I was definitely getting into trouble. I opened the files that had been sitting on my desk, and I tried to concentrate but my mind went back to the conversation.“I like the way you talk.”I covered my face with my hands. Why did I even say that?I could’ve said something else like, “you’re straightforward.”But no. I just had to tell him I liked the way he talked. I remembered the way he looked at me afterwards. Then I lowered my hands.No.I couldn’t be thinking about a man, especially not one like Nick. He was a billionaire and my boss too, even though he was very different from anyone I had known.I picked up a pen and forced my mind to stay on the documents in front of me. Focus, Rita.Then I heard a

I looked around, and there was nothing regular about this lounge. “Thank you, though.”He lifted a brow. “For what?”“For being kind to me.” I looked at the glass in my hand. “Most men like you wouldn’t have helped me, even starting from the club. “And what kind of man am I, Rita Morgan?” There was something about the way he said my full name.“A really wealthy man…” He laughed. “No… no. The Dominic Sterling.” His laughter increased.“You’ve heard people call me that too?”I nodded with a faint smile. Then my voice calmed. “I’m still trying to get used to everything,” I said.“Everything?”“Starting all over.” I looked around. “A new job, and trying to forget someone I had spent years loving. His expression softened. “There’s no right way to start over. It’s different for everyone.”“You think so?”“I know so.” He placed his glass on the table. “Just do it one day at a time.”I smiled. “That sounds simple.”“It isn’t.”We both laughed. For the first time since I

I stood there awkwardly, my eyes shifting between his eyes. Then he spoke.“Were you sent to get the files?”“What files?”He stared at me. Then I remembered that I had actually come here without an appointment. “Can I please come in?” His expression remained unreadable as he stepped aside without a word. I had imagined this moment several times before walking up here. I expected him to ask why I went back to talk to the man that hurt me. I expected anger for leaving him standing there until his bodyguards came. He closed the door as I walked further inside.I was too tense to sit down, so I stopped and watched as he walked towards the mini bar. He opened one of the cabinets and pulled out a bottle of wine. “Do you want something to drink?” He turned to me.I shook my head. “No. I’m fine.”Then he watched my trembling fingers a second longer and poured a drink regardless. He walked closer and my pulse hastened. Then he handed me a glass.“Here,” he said. “Something to

I frowned. “Why do I need Leah to tell me what decisions to make?”She looked so nervous. “Because she also knows how much Dan has hurt you.”“Zara, you’re not listening to me.”She dialed Leah’s number. “You’re emotional right now. I don’t want you making any wrong decisions.”I looked across the street at the shop. Dan was gone. “I wasn’t making any decisions. I just wanted to know who he was talking about.”“And what would knowing do for you?”I opened my mouth to speak, but the words were stuck. Then I gave it a slight thought.Maybe she was right. Maybe it was another one of Dan’s ways to manipulate me into forgiving him, like he always did. Leah picked. “Zara, where are you guys?”“Outside the coffee shop. You won’t believe Rita actually came back to see Dan.”“What?!!!”I hissed. “It’s not like that.”“Just get here first, maybe she’ll listen,” Zara said. “On my way.” Leah ended the call.I shot her a look. “That really wasn’t necessary.” I folded my arms.“Are

I cleaned the dust off my clothes and rushed into the coffee shop. Nick followed me in and the moment he stepped in, everyone paused. They stared at him in surprise wondering what such a high-profile man was doing in a random coffee shop, and without his body guards too. He didn’t seem bothered. I scanned the place for Dan, but he was gone. Then I went to the reception area.“Excuse me, ma’am,” I said as I breathed heavily. “There was a man at that table.” I pointed towards the glass. “Where is he?”She opened her mouth to speak, then I saw Dan walk out of the bathroom hallway. His eyes met mine. “Rita.” He hurried towards me then slowed when he saw Nick.Dan locked eyes with Nick for longer than a second, like he knew him. Then he turned to me.“Rita, please come with me.”I glanced at Nick once, looking worried for me. His eyes followed me until Dan and I got to a table. Suddenly, I saw a fleet of cars stop outside the coffee shop. Four bodyguards walked in, they must’ve he
