Leo's pov

A 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 him in a way that felt too intimate, too natural.

He also went ahead to open the car door for her, his hand sliding lightly across her back as she entered with a smile.

I stood at the window watching the vehicle drive away. My chest was tight, the anger and regret stirring in me was something I had never learnt to control.

Alex Carter. Of course, it was him. The man she always referred to as just a friend, just a childhood friend. Could it be he is the one who picked up the pieces I broke?

Before I could process it, the door to my office flew open with a bang.

Miriam stormed in, the sound of her heels against the tiled floor was like a warning siren. The expression on her face was a mixture

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 39

    Leo's povI felt so happy, like I was on top of the world. Sitting across from her, nothing else mattered. Not even my business and definitely not Miriam. All that mattered to me at this point was my kiara. Everything about her enticed me. The way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the way she was laughing at my jokes, the look in her eyes even when she pretended not to care.Suddenly, she stood up to leave and I held her hand, standing up too.“What's wrong? Did I say anything bad?” She narrowed her eyes.“I just want to leave Leo, I'm no longer comfortable being here.”“Just like that? Thought we were having a nice time.” People were already starring, I guess that is why she sat back.“ Look Kiara, I know I hurt you in the past, and I’ve apologized. Maybe not enough, maybe not the right way…but I'm really sorry. All this while we've been working on that project, I’ve been trying so hard to prove to you that I’m a changed man. That I’m not the same selfish idiot you walked away fr

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 38

    Kiara's POVIt felt so weird sitting across from Leo, having breakfast like we were just two old time lovers catching up. But we are not. Not anymore. He was my ex-husband, the father of my child he never knew about, and currently married to the woman who has done everything to ruin me. My own step sister.The thought of all these, made my skin crawl. But here I am, sipping coffee with him. How and why did I even get here?I glanced at him. He looked at peace, too comfortable for someone who had once wrecked my peace. And the worst part is that I was still finding him attractive. His calm confidence, those cute dimples, the way he smiled like he hadn’t done anything wrong. I sighed inwardly.Miriam is taking my place, while I’m now sitting pretty in hers. What an irony. I shook my head and laughed at the thought."What’s funny?" he asked, raising his brows."Nothing serious," I replied, giving him a dismissive smile.If only he knows what's going through my mind.The twisted sense of

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 37

    Kiara's POVMy phone buzzed on the bedside drawer. I woke up feeling grumpy, stretched my body and pushed up my eye mask to check who was calling. It was Leo. I tried to ignore the call and get back to sleep, so he would probably get the message and stop calling, but my phone kept buzzing. “What is it this early morning!?” I shouted, finally accepting the call."Sweetheart it's 8:15am, it's no longer early.” Leo said. “And I'm here to take you out for breakfast."I sat up, blinking. “You’re what? Where exactly?”"I'm outside your house baby.”I stood up with speed and dash to my window to know if he was actually serious. I opened the curtain and my jaw dropped.There he was, leaning casually against his black car, dressed like some kind of runway model. Aviator sunglasses. Crisp white shirt. That damn charming aura.How did he find me again?My heart pounded as realization hit me. First, it was him going to Sophia’s school… Now our house? Was he spying on us? I think it's high tim

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 36

    Kiara’s PovI shut my laptop with a heavy sigh and leaned back into the couch. The glow from the sun filtered through the curtains, casting faint patterns on the floor. It was 2:15pm, but I already felt like I had lived through an entire week. My luxury office proposal still needed revisions before the presentation and one particular indecisive client had spent nearly an hour contemplating over two wallpaper samples that looked exactly the same to anyone with sane eyes.The door opened and I heard Sophia's voice. She ran towards me.“Mommy! Mommy!”I opened my eyes just to see Sophia rush into the living room, a wide grin stretched across her face and her curls bouncing wildly.“What’s all this?” I asked as she dropped a large gift bag on the table. It was surprisingly heavy.She beamed. “Gifts!”I sat up. “Gifts?”She nodded, eyes glittering with excitement. “It was a birthday today! One of my friends. And there were snacks and toys and balloons and... look!” She pulled out her Bar

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 35

    Leo's POV"Urrggh, yes baby, hit me harder," Kiara moaned, her voice full of longing and desire. I gripped her hair tighter, pounding her from behind, which was her favorite style. The way she arched her back drove me wild. I could feel her trembling under me. I flipped her onto her back, the mattress creaking beneath us, and pushed her deeper into the bed. Her skin glistened with sweat as I lowered my mouth to her sweet spot, tasting the essence of her. "Fuck!" she screamed, hands tangled in my hair, the other clawing the bed sheet.I licked my way up her body, slowly, savoring every inch of her skin, until I hovered above her lips, about to kiss her…"Grrrrrr!"The shrill sound of my alarm shattered everything."Shit!" I groaned, slamming the stop button and throwing the pillow over my head. The room was still, but my body burned with frustration. It was 8:00 a.m. I looked under the duvet, damn, I was fucking hard. Really hard.I closed my eyes, trying to sink back into the dream

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 34

    Kiara’s POVI didn’t speak a word on the drive back.The man Leo assigned to drop me off kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror, as if expecting me to cry, but I sat still. Deep down, I was breaking. My mind thought about everything that happened.When the car pulled up at my apartment, I opened the door slowly. My feet touched the floor like they carried bricks. I reached the door and knocked, my hands trembling.“Good evening ma.” The nanny greeted me with a look of concern on her face because of the way I looked with my tousled hair.My mouth was even heavy to respond to her. I just moved straight to the stairs, dragging the weight of everything Leo had ever done to me with every step.The moment I got to my room, I locked the door, pulled the curtains shut, and sank to the floor. The silence felt suffocating.I felt like screaming so loud to feel better. Tears were already rolling down my cheeks.I cried like a child. How could he still think that he had a right over me?
