Kiara’s POV

I knew something wasn’t right. Leo was acting a bit weird recently.

Everything looked fine on the surface, but I know Leo enough to know that he is not himself.

I was seated at the dining table with my laptop open, going through some minor revisions on a client’s layout. Nothing too serious. Just adjusting color tones and spacing.

Sophia was on the floor a few feet away, humming to herself as she played with her dolls.

The house felt peaceful, but yet, my eyes kept drifting towar

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 144

    Miriam’s povI sat on the couch, scrolling lazily through my phone, half-interested in whatever nonsense filled my screen. Random social media videos, people living their fake perfect lives.I scoffed under my breath. Fake life here and there.I shifted slightly, stretching my legs across the couch, trying to ignore the faint uneasiness sitting in my chest.It had been a few days of no calls, no pressure, no threats. It seems everything has gone back to normal.But I wasn’t going to think about that too much. I have money now. More than enough to keep me comfortable for a while. That was what mattered. Right?My finger paused mid-scroll. A familiar name that popped up got my attention.My brows furrowed slightly. Wait, is that Mark? I clicked on it without thinking.The post loaded and for a second, I didn’t understand what I was looking at. Everywhere went blur.It was a picture of a setting that screamed luxury. Right in the center was Mark, and standing beside was a woman I also re

    Mark’s povThe restaurant was a private one. The kind of place where important people came to discuss and that was exactly why I chose it.Soft jazz played faintly in the background as I adjusted the sleeve of my suit and walked toward the reserved section at the far end of the restaurant.The man waiting there checked his wristwatch the moment he saw me approaching. Then he scoffed lightly.“You’re late.”I pulled out the chair opposite him calmly and sat down like I had all the time in the world.“Am I?” I asked smoothly.He stared at me for a second before shaking his head.“Not really,” he admitted. “You’re exactly on time. You just enjoy making people wait.”That earned him a faint smirk from me.“Perception matters,” I replied calmly as I loosened the cuff of my wristwatch slightly. “People respect what they can’t predict.”The waiter stepped forward almost immediately.“Your usual, sir?”I gave a small nod.“Of course.”The waiter bowed and left.The man across from me studied

    Kiara's pov “Kiara?”I blinked.The room came back into focus slowly—the long glass table, the projector screen, the expectant faces turned toward me.“Sorry?” I said, sitting up straighter.Mr. Walter frowned slightly. “I asked what you think about the revised layout for the Westbridge project.”“Oh—right,” I said quickly, flipping through the pages in front of me like I hadn’t just completely zoned out. My eyes scanned the design.“It’s… it's good,” I started, then paused, forcing myself to actually focus. “But it lacks personality.”That got their attention.Mr. Walter leaned back slightly. “Go on.”I pointed at the layout.“It feels like something we’ve already done before,” I said. “There’s no identity. No statement piece. If we want this project to stand out, we need something bold. Something that makes people walk in and remember it.”Silence.Then a slow nod. “I agree,” he said. “What do you suggest?”I opened my mouth,then stopped. Because for a split second, my mind drifted

    Miriam pov“Why does he act like that?”I paused mid-step, turning slowly to look at Susan.“Act like what?” I asked, though I already knew where this was going.She folded her arms, leaning against the kitchen counter as she watched me closely.“Like your child doesn’t exist,” she said bluntly.I rolled my eyes and walked past her, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.“Don’t start,” I muttered, twisting the cap open.“I’m serious, Miriam,” she continued, following me into the living room. “Every time you mention him, it’s always some excuse. He’s busy. He’s stressed. He’ll come around. Or probably when he wants to use you. Like… when exactly?”I took a sip of water, ignoring her for a second before dropping onto the couch.“I guess he’s going through some stuff right now,” I said casually.Susan blinked.“Going through stuff?” she repeated. “Miriam, he has a son.”I shrugged. “And?”“And that should matter!” she snapped. “You make it sound like it’s optional.”I leaned back, s

    Alex’s POV“Send me the proposal before noon.”I didn’t look up as I signed the document in front of me, flipping the page with practiced ease. My office was quiet except for the soft hum of the air conditioning and the occasional tapping of my pen against the desk.“Yes, sir,” my assistant replied quickly.“And make sure legal reviews clause seven again. I don’t want any loopholes.”“Got it.”The door closed behind her.I leaned back in my chair and exhaled slowly, loosening my tie just a little. The morning had already been packed with meetings, calls, unfinished reports and investors breathing down my neck.Yet somehow, none of that was what was occupying my mind.My phone buzzed on the desk.The moment I saw Kiara’s name on the screen, my attention shifted immediately. I picked it up without hesitation.“Kiara.”“Hi Alex.”The tension in her voice hit me instantly.I straightened in my seat. “What’s wrong?”There was a pause on her end. The kind where you could hear someone thinki

    Leo's pov“Do you think I should call him?”The question slipped out before I could stop it.Kiara, who had been scrolling through her phone again, probably rechecking those pictures for the hundredth time, paused and looked up at me.“Call who?” she asked, though I could already tell she knew.“Mark,” I said.Her expression changed immediately to disapproval.“No,” she said, firmly.I frowned slightly.“No?”“No,” she repeated, lowering her phone to her lap. “That’s exactly what you shouldn’t do right now.”I leaned back against the couch, exhaling slowly as I ran a hand through my hair.“I don’t know, Kiara. Maybe Miriam is trying to use him against me,” I said. “Or maybe there’s some misunderstanding. I should at least hear from him directly.”She shook her head.“And what are you going to say?” she asked. “Hey Mark, I saw you having lunch with the woman who just blackmailed me. Care to explain?”I didn’t respond immediately because when she put it like that, It sounded really bad

    Kiara’s POVThe restaurant Evergreen’s CEO chose was the definition of luxury, dimmed chandeliers, soft music echoing through the air, and waiters dressed like they’d stepped out of a Vogue editorial. It was the kind of place where deals were sealed.I arrived before Leo. As usual, though I like be

    Kiara's pov "Why didn't I think of this earlier?" I muttered to myself as I paused my walk. "Miriam..I should have added her to the list. Just imagine her in my office running all the major errands and swallowing down all the insults I will dish out to her. That would be hell for her. I can imagin
