Kiara’s POV

I 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.

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   EPILOGUE

    Kiara's povThree Months LaterWe went to a park. Sophia had already spotted the swings before we even reached the playground."Mummy, hurry up!"I laughed as she took off ahead of me.Around us, a few parents watched their children from nearby benches while others pushed strollers along the walking path. The park wasn't crowded, but it was alive and peaceful.For once, nobody was following us.No security alarms. No reporters. No fear.Just an ordinary afternoon with my daughter. For so long, my life has been chaotic.But now, I spent most mornings answering emails, meeting clients, and arguing with Sophia about random things.That felt like peace.Sophia reached the swings first and immediately turned around."Mummy!""I'm coming."She grinned triumphantly. "You lost.""I wasn't racing you.""That's because you knew I'd win."I rolled my eyes. The confidence in this child should honestly be studied.I helped her onto the swing before stepping back."Ready?""Push me high!""Not too

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 199

    Leo's povThe church was empty. The flowers used for decoration were still there.The candles still burned softly near the altar.The guests were gone. Even the priest had disappeared.But I was still standing at the altar alone. Exactly where she left me.I stared at the church doors.The same doors Kiara had walked through less than an hour ago.The same doors I had imagined us walking through together as husband and wife.The same doors she passed through while leaving me at the altar to face shame.My chest felt broken and empty.Like something had finally been ripped out of me.I can't even blame her. I brought this upon myself. Every action has consequences.I looked down at the wedding ring still sitting in my palm.The ring I never got to place on her finger.A bitter laugh escaped me.Footsteps suddenly approached from behind.I turned around and it was Alex.He stopped beside me. Neither of us spoke immediately.For a long moment we simply stood there, looking at nothing in

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 198

    Kiara's povThe moment the car door slammed shut behind me, I broke down, crying.Not the dignified tears I had somehow managed to hold together inside the church. This is the kind that makes breathing feels impossible.I pressed both hands against my face as tears kept flowing down my cheeks. Outside, reporters were still shouting.I could hear them through the tinted windows."Kiara!""What happened inside?""Did you leave Leo Williams at the altar?""Are you ending the relationship?"Camera flashes exploded endlessly outside. Security struggled to keep them back.But none of it sounded real anymore. Everything felt distant, like I was underwater.The wedding dress, the veil, the makeup and even the flowers, all of it suddenly felt too heavy on me.I felt sick.The driver quietly closed the privacy divider without saying a word. Giving me space and dignity to fall apart.And I was really falling apart.Because the worst part wasn't leaving Leo.The worst part was that I still loved

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 197

    Kiara’s povThe entire church went completely silent.Like the entire room stopped breathing at once.Leo stared at me across the altar, still holding my hand loosely.Confusion slowly replaced the softness in his face.“Kiara…”My chest hurt so badly I thought I might actually collapse right there.Tears blurred my vision completely now.I could hear my heartbeat pounding hard inside my ears. Could feel hundreds of eyes watching us. Waiting.But none of that compared to the look on Leo’s face. Because he genuinely didn’t understand what was happening yet.“I can’t do this,” I whispered again, weaker this time.Leo blinked slowly. “Baby…”His grip tightened slightly around my hand.“You can’t do what exactly?”The way he said it. Soft,careful. Already panicking underneath. My throat tightened painfully.“This,” I whispered brokenly.His brows pulled together instantly.The church remained frozen around us.Somebody in the audience gasped quietly. Someone else whispered: “Oh my God…”A

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 196

    Kiara’s povThe music echoed softly through the church as the doors slowly opened in front of me.And suddenly, every single person stood.My breath caught instantly.Candles flickered across the massive room. White roses lined the aisle beautifully beneath the golden lights hanging from above. Everything looked too beautiful. Too perfect.Sophia walked carefully ahead of me in her flower-girl dress, tiny hands holding the basket while she sprinkled white petals across the aisle.The entire congregation melted watching her.I could hear soft laughter. Sniffles. Whispers.But I barely focused on any of it. Because my eyes found Leo immediately, standing at the altar beside Alex. Waiting for me.My chest tightened painfully.He looked breathtaking in black. But it wasn’t even the suit. It was his face.The way he looked at me like nothing else inside the church existed. Like after everything… I was still the center of his entire world.Emotion burned hard inside my throat.And suddenly

    Kiara’s pov“Stop moving.”“I’m trying.”“No you’re not.”“I literally am.”The makeup artist sighed dramatically while fixing something near my eyeliner again.Around me, the bridal suite buzzed with movement.Sophia sat cross-legged on the floor recording everything on her phone like a tiny documentary filmmaker.“Mummy keeps blinking aggressively,” she narrated seriously.“I can hear you.”“That’s okay. Transparency matters.”I stared at my daughter in disbelief.“How are you eight years old and already exhausting?”“Natural talent.”The room burst into laughter. Including me.But it faded quickly. Because every few seconds reality came rushing back again.I was getting married today. Like actually married to Leo today.The thought still felt unreal no matter how many times I repeated it inside my head.The makeup artist finally stepped back.“Done.”Everybody immediately turned toward me.“Oh my God,” one of the stylists whispered.Sophia gasped dramatically loud enough for the en

    Kiara’s POVIt was finally the day of the launch.I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my dressing room, staring at my reflection longer than necessary. My heart was pounding loudly against my chest, betraying the calm expression I was forcing on my face.Breathe, Kiara. You’ve got this.I

    Leo's povA sleek black car had pulled up, and a man stepped out, a man I recognized instantly. 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
