로그인Kiara's povI didn't want to get upset. Obviously, it's just a game. So I had to excuse myself and pretend like I got a call. I could feel Leo's gaze on me as I walked away.And then I got a real call from Alex. “Are you at your office or your home?” he asked immediately.“I'm at home. Is there any problem?”“When did you start asking me such questions?” he replied dryly.Before I could say anything, I heard my doorbell. “Open the door,” he added. “I was already close to your house when I called.”I frowned slightly, lowering my phone.Before I could get to the living room, Leo had already opened the door. I stopped. Just stood there watching. The atmosphere shifted instantly. These two men stare aggressively at each other.It had been three weeks since Leo had been staying with me and I had hoped that he must have bounced back by now. Three weeks of rebuilding, working, and trying to keep things in check.And this? This was exactly what I had been trying to avoid.I didn’t want Sop
Leo’s POVI didn’t think I would ever find myself competing for a child’s attention.Yet here I was, standing at the doorway of the living room, watching Sophia sit cross-legged on the rug, laughing at something on the tablet in her hands. Her laughter filled the house.I stepped fully into the room.Sophia noticed me immediately.“Uncle hero!” she called excitedly, jumping up and running toward me.That name still did something to me.I caught her easily, lifting her slightly off the ground despite the lingering weakness in my body.“Hey, troublemaker,” I said, forcing a smile.“I’m not trouble!” she protested, pouting instantly.I chuckled softly. “We’ll see about that.”Behind her, I could feel Kiara's eyes on me but I didn't want to look at her immediately.But eventually, I set Sophia down gently and straightened, turning to face her.“Hey” I said to her.“Hey” she replied back.Sophia grabbed my hand before anything else could settle.“Uncle hero, come!” she said, pulling me tow
Leo’s POVI didn’t want to think about last night. About the call and how it almost ruined the nice moment we were having. So I buried myself in work instead.I sat in the living room, laptop open in front of me, trying to make sense of what was left of my company’s data. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, but my focus wasn’t steady.“Sir…” my IT head’s voice came through the call. “We’ve managed to recover about ten percent of the client database.”“Only ten?” I asked, my tone flat.“For now. But we’re working on the rest.”I exhaled slowly.“Keep going.”“Yes, sir.”The call ended. I flinged my phone on the couch, leaning back slightly, closing my eyes for a brief moment.Ten percent.That was what I had left. For something I built from nothing. I let out a quiet breath, opening my eyes again.Then I heard a car pulling into the compound. I didn’t need to check to know it was Kiara.But something felt off. There was another car door sound and voice.I frowned slightly and stood u
Kiara’s POVI had just walked into my office that morning, heels clicking against the marble floor, my mind already buried in everything I had to do for the day, when Julie followed behind me with a look on her face.That amused look.“Ma’am…” she said slowly.I dropped my bag on the table and took my seat, glancing up at her.“What is it?”She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she stepped forward and placed something carefully on my desk.I paused.It was a bouquet. Not the random kind people easily get.No. This was carefully arranged. White lilies, soft pink roses, a single black silk ribbon wrapped around the stems. It didn't just smell sweet. It smelled expensive and elegant. I straightened slightly.“Who sent it?” I asked.Julie shook her head. “No name. Just this.”She handed me a small card. I took it, flipping it open casually.For a woman who commands attention without asking for it.No name. My lips curved slightly before I could stop it and Julie noticed.I cleared my
Leo’s povI sat in the living room, the TV on but muted, the light from the screen flickering against the walls. I wasn’t watching anything. I hadn’t been for the past thirty minutes. My attention was on the door.Or rather, the absence of Kiara. She wasn’t home yet.I glanced at the clock again. 10:47 PM. It was too damn late.My jaw tightened slightly as I leaned back against the couch, dragging a hand over my face. I told myself not to overthink it. She was a busy woman. But tonight, I knew exactly where she was. With him.That thought alone made something dark settle in my chest. I shifted slightly, trying to ignore it.But I failed.The imaginary image of what they could be doing now kept replaying in my head anyway.My fingers curled slightly against my knee.“Leo, you just have to stop.” I told myself, exhaling sharply.The sound of a car pulling into the compound snapped me out of my thoughts. She was back.My head turned instantly toward the door. I stood up without thinking.
Leo’s POVI stood by the window in the guest room, staring out into the dim evening. The streetlights had come on, casting long shadows across the compound. My mind was at so many places. Both Kiara, and the so called business dinner. Which in her words, it was very good.I clenched my jaw slightly and turned away from the window, running a hand through my hair. I had tried to distract myself. Tried to focus on the recovery plans, the data reconstruction, the financial gaps that still needed patching. But none of it stuck.Everything I try thinking, circles back to the same thing.Why wouldn't she enjoy it? He had everything I currently didn’t. Power, stability, control. And most importantly, he hadn’t broken her before.I laughed under my breath, the sound dry and humorless.I walked out of the room slowly, heading downstairs. The nanny appeared briefly from the kitchen.“Sir, dinner is ready,” she said politely.“I’m not hungry,” I replied without stopping.That wasn’t entirely true
Kiara’s POVFuck! What am I actually doing?Having sex with Leo twice now is crazy. Completely crazy. I’m acting like someone who has been starved for affection and touch, like someone who loses all sense the moment he looks at me a certain way.Now I’m letting him close again, letting him think he
Kiara’s POVIt’s been four weeks.Four long, weeks since I pulled Sophia out of school and decided to keep her at home. Got her a private teacher that comes at home to teach her. I told myself it was temporary. Just until things settled. Just until Leo stopped hovering like a bad memory that refuse
Leo’s POVNo woman has ever made me feel the way Kiara does. This is what I've been missing all these years because of my own stupidity. The memory of our sex last time after five years was so fresh in my head. Replaying itself over and over like a punishment I deserve.The way her pussy held my c
Kiara's POVIt felt so weird sitting across from Leo, having breakfast like we were just two old time lovers catching up. But we are not. Not anymore. He was my ex-husband, the father of my child he never knew about, and currently married to the woman who has done everything to ruin me. My own step
