Chasing back my ex-wife Chapter 26
Leo’s POVI jerked up at the sound of my phone ringing out so loudly beside me, pulling me out of my heavy, foggy sleep. My head was pounding like a drum roll and my chest was beating fast as I reached out blindly for my phone. "Hello," I spoke into the phone with a groggy voice, and wasn't able to see who the caller was."Good morning, Mr. Leo. I Just want to remind you about your 10:30 a.m. strategy session with the executive team. Since you are not here yet,I think we should reschedule it till tomorrow or should we leave it sir? "What time is it now?" I asked, trying to sit up. My head still pounding."10:00 a.m. sharp, sir."My eyes shot open. "Shit! no, no. Keep it as it is. I’ll be there in a jiffy."I ended the call and rubbed my forehead, trying to piece together what exactly happened last night. The wine. The laptop. The sudden wave of dizziness and passing out.What the hell happened?I dragged myself out of bed forcefully and staggered to the bathroom. The cold water fro

Leo’s POVShe hung up on me? Just like that?I stared at my phone and blinked. Still couldn't believe what just happened. I was still hoping that she would just call me back and tell me it was a mistake.I know she was hurted but she could have just let me explain myself. No matter how upset she plays to be, it's never going to stop me. Not when I've made a lot of moves, trying to make things right.I just sighed and closed my laptop, grabbed my car keys and phone, then stood up from my office chair. It was already late.I don't have to keep sitting here and replaying that call again and again in my head. I needed air. I needed to go home.The ride was short and smooth. As at the time I pulled into the driveway, the house lights were already on. The scent of dinner wafted faintly through the air.“Good evening, sir,” the cook greeted warmly as I stepped inside.“Evening,” I muttered.She smiled politely and added, “Dinner’s ready.”“Thanks. I’ll eat later.” My voice was flat, and I di

Kiara's POVMy phone rang immediately I reached my door, carrying two heavy bags and trying to find the right key. I picked it up without checking who the caller is. I pressed the phone between my shoulder and cheek. The moment I heard his voice, the feeling inside me just dropped."What is it, Leo?" I snapped. "Thought I warned you not to call me for anything work-related. I’m done for the day. How hard is that to understand? Or do you want—"“Calm down,” he cut in quickly. “I know you’re upset, but I didn’t call because of work or Miriam. I just... I called to check on you. To see if you got home safely.”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "As what? Did I ask for your care?" I hissed. "You better say why you really called before I end this call."I moved the phone just a little bit, pressing it a little harder against my shoulder. I was trying to unlock my door. The force of the bags lying on my arms was much. I don't even know if Sophia's nanny had brought her home from school or if I wa

Leo’s POVI couldn't stop thinking about Kiara. Every quiet moment pulled me back to her.I decided to go to her office to atleast talk with her and probably ask her out on a date.I doubt she will agree to that.she might even slap me with her words first. But there's no harm in trying. Right?On getting to her office, her door was slightly open.She was packing up like someone that is done for the day. "Are you leaving?” I asked, stepping inside.She didn’t even bother to look at me. “Obviously. You can see it.” Ouch. “I only asked a harmless question.”“And I gave you a harmless response,” she snapped, yanking her drawer open and tossing papers into her bag without care.Her tone was cold, laced with unspoken frustration. She looked like she was going to explode the next second.“Come on, Kiara. What’s going on? You sound so bitter.”She stopped and slowly turned to me. “Why wouldn’t I be? When your dog refuses to let me breathe since I got here?”Her voice cracked slightly with rag

Kiara’s POVI’m not caught up in this drama I’m experiencing with Leo and Miriam. My main aim is to focus on my team and the project that brought me here and also proving to Evergreen Company that they didn’t make a mistake choosing me to lead their luxury workspace transformation. That’s what matters. Not this nonsense with Leo and Miriam’s daily dose of sabotage.But distractions don’t always ask for permission.After throwing out the gift Leo brought last time, I thought and hoped that it was the end of it. But no, he didn’t stop. One after another, they kept coming in. Perfumes, jewelry, even a limited-edition wristwatch he knew I used to admire back then but refused to get it for me on purpose. All this and more were delivered with fancy notes that screamed guilt and desperation.“Peace offerings,” he called them.Peace offerings, my foot.He wasn’t fooling me. I knew exactly what he wanted, to wiggle his way back into my life. But I’ve already made it clear, over and over again,
