Miriam’s pov

I 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

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 146

    Kiara’s povI stood outside Leo’s office for a few seconds before going in.Through the glass, I could see him sitting behind his desk, completely still. One hand rested against his forehead while the other held his phone loosely.But it was the devastating look on his face that made my chest tighten.My fingers tightened slightly around the handle before I finally pushed the door open and stepped inside quietly.“Leo?”He didn’t answer immediately.His eyes lifted slowly to mine, and the look there made my stomach twist again.“What happened?” I asked softly as I closed the door behind me.For a second, he just stared at me like he didn’t even know where to begin.Then he leaned back slowly in his chair and let out a dry, exhausted laugh.“We were right,” he said finally.My brows pulled together immediately.“Right about what?”He looked away briefly before looking back at me again.“It’s Mark.”Silence.The words settled heavily between us.“What?” I whispered.He nodded once, his

    Leo’s pov“You need to look at this carefully.”I frowned slightly as I adjusted the phone against my ear, stepping away from the noise of the office. Staff voices faded behind me as I moved into my office.“I am looking at it,” I replied. “You said you found something, so just say it clearly.”There was a brief pause on the other end.“It’s bigger than I thought.”My brows pulled together immediately. That didn’t sound good.“Bigger how?” I asked, my tone tightening.Another pause followed, longer this time. Like he was carefully deciding how to say it.“I don’t think Mark just happened to be around you, Leo.”My jaw tightened instantly.“What are you implying?”“I’m not implying anything,” he replied calmly. “I’m telling you there’s a pattern, connections that looks shady.”I leaned against the wall, slipping my free hand into my pocket.“Talk to me clearly.”A soft exhale came through the line.“He’s been in contact with people you’ve had problems with before quietly.”My grip tigh

    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

    Leo’s POV“I expected you to come as fast as possible,” Miriam said the moment we stepped outside the station. “What took you so long?”I stopped walking and turned to her slowly. She kept touching the swollen part of her face as if to remind me it existed.“What do you mean?” I asked flatly. “I ca

    Kiara’s POVMy phone vibrated just as I was pacing the narrow corridor outside the interrogation rooms. Alex.I hesitated before answering, then swiped up. “Alex.”“Kiara,” his voice came through, tense. “What is this I’m hearing about Sandra?”I stopped pacing. “What do you mean?”“My phone has be

    Leo’s POVThe moment I stepped into the warehouse Vincent had kept him, I didn’t waste time with words. I moved fast.He was tied to a chair, eyes widening in fear when he saw me. Before he could open his mouth, my fist connected with his nose so hard.He groaned loudly, his head snapping back as b

    Kiara’s POVI couldn't sleep that night. No matter how many times I closed my eyes, the truth Leo revealed replayed itself in my head. So this is the extent Miriam can get to just to destroy me.I stared at the ceiling, my chest tight, my fingers clenched beneath the sheets. Hatred was one thing.
