Kiara’s POV

When we got back, I felt like I had closed one chapter properly and stepped into another.

Sophia went back to school the next morning, complaining about waking up early again, but still excited to see her friends. Leo had dropped her off like it was something he had always done, like he had always been there.

I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my blazer slightly. I didn’t want to overthink it, but I was. Because today wasn’t just any day.

Today, I was walking into Leo’s offic

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 125

    Kiara’s POVSleep refused to come. I turned to the left. Then to the right. Pulled the blanket up. Kicked it off again. I was just so unsettled.My mind wouldn’t rest and I hated when that happened. Because once my thoughts start running, they don’t stop easily.Beside me, Leo slept peacefully. One arm resting loosely over the pillow, his breathing steady and calm.I stared at him for a moment and sighed quietly and turned away again.That was when my phone began to buzz.The sudden vibration startled me, and I sat up almost immediately, reaching for it on the bedside table.It was an unknown number.At this time? I frowned slightly.For a second, I considered ignoring it. But something about it made me pick up.I slipped out of bed carefully, making sure not to wake Leo, and walked toward the bathroom. Closing the door gently behind me, I answered.“Hello?”Silence.“Hello, Kiara.”My heart skipped.That voice. No.“Alex?” I asked, my brows knitting together. “Is that you?”“Yes, Kia

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 124

    Kiara’s POVI didn’t expect walking into Leo's office to feel that normal.Yes, I used to enter it for professional purposes, but now I entered as someone that belonged there.The meeting had ended over an hour ago, but I was still seated in his office, going through a set of layout drafts on my laptop.Leo stood across from me, leaning slightly over the desk, watching me.“Why are you staring at me like that?,” I said without looking up.“I’m observing,” he corrected.I scoffed lightly.“Same thing.”“It’s not,” he replied calmly. “Staring is creepy. Observing is intentional.”That made me glance up at him. “And which one are you doing?”A small smile tugged at his lips.“I’m being Intentional.”I shook my head, trying not to smile back, and returned my focus to the screen.“This space needs to be opened up,” I said, pointing at the layout. “Your reception area feels too boxed in. First impressions matter.”“It’s functional,” he argued.“It’s boring,” I countered immediately.He exha

Leo had dropped her off like it was something he had always done, like he had always been there.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my blazer slightly. I didn’t want to overthink it, but I was. Because today wasn’t just any day.Today, I was walking into Leo’s office. Not as his past anymore, but as someone he was choosing now.And somehow, that felt super exciting than anything else.“You ready?” Leo’s voice came from behind me.I saw his reflection in the mirror. He looked a bit nervous, which surprised me.I turned slightly, folding my arms.“You’re the one reintroducing me,” I said. “Why do you look like you’re about to present a final thesis?”He chuckled lightly, rubbing the back of his neck.“Because I am.”I raised a brow.“It’s not just work for m

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 122

    Leo’s POVI stood at the kitchen entrance, leaning slightly against the frame, just watching Kiara.There was something about moments like this that felt like if I blinked too long, it might disappear.She was completely focused, a headset resting over her ears as she moved with ease—stirring and tasting. The soft hum of whatever she was listening to blended with the quiet bubbling of the soup.And the aroma? Gosh! It filled the entire space, rich and warm, wrapping around me until my stomach responded instantly.I smiled to myself.I just hope I never get to annoy her ever again. Not the careless, selfish version of me that took everything for granted.Now, I just wanted to make her happy.To make both of them happy.To make up for all the time I had lost.I pushed myself off the wall and walked toward her slowly.“Mmmm… this smells so nice,” I said, my voice low as I reached her.Without hesitation, I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind, pulling her gently against me. She d

    Kiara’s POVThat night, after everything, we didn’t talk much. We just existed in the same space again.The next morning, I woke up to the faint sound of movement in the kitchen.I frowned slightly, stretching as I got out of bed and slipped into my robe. When I stepped out, the smell of pancakes hit me first.I paused.Leo stood by the counter, flipping one with more focus than I’d ever seen him give anything domestic.I leaned against the wall, folding my arms.“You cook now?” I asked.He glanced back, a small smirk on his lips.“I’m full of surprises.”“Hm,” I hummed. “We’ll see.”Before I could say anything else, I heard small footsteps.“Mummy.”Sophia walked in, rubbing her eyes, her hair scattered in every direction.“Good morning, baby,” I said softly, crouching to her level.She nodded sleepily, then her eyes lifted and landed on Leo. She blinked and blinked again.“Uncle hero?” she said slowly.Leo turned fully this time, smiling.“Good morning, princess.”Sophia looked betw

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 120

    Leo’s povThe door sound echoed through the house. I stood there, still, my chest rising and falling slowly as Alex’s car sped off outside.Kiara didn’t move. She just stood there, staring at the door like she was still processing everything that had just happened. Her shoulders were tense, her fingers slightly curled at her sides.For a moment, neither of us said anything.Heavy silence filled the room. Then I finally took a step toward her.“I know you are mad at me right now” I started, my voice lower than usual. “And I’m sorry.”She didn’t turn immediately.“Leo please…” she said softly, like she didn’t even have the strength to argue.But I wasn’t backing down this time. Not like before. I moved closer, stopping just a few steps behind her.“Kiara, I’m so sorry for hurting you in the past,” I said, my voice steady but low. “I know you still love me… and trust me, I still do too.”She turned slowly this time. Her eyes met mine, and for a second, everything else faded.There was s

Alex Carter.I froze, watching as he walked around to greet her, his face lighting up in a way that made me clench my fists. Kiara's laughter rang out faintly as she hugged him, her arms wrapping around
