Crossed: Chasing Back the Unwanted Wife Chapter 146
"I need you to prepare the invoice, cash Mr Colin's cheque and get the statement for that wedding I asked you to prioritize.” “Yes, ma'am." Jules' new assistant replied on the other end of the phone.“Oh, and what about the client from the states? Did he agree to the meeting?” She asked, the phone pressed between her ear and her shoulder as she scribbled something on a blank piece of paper.“Oh, no, no. He hasn't quite given any tangible feedback on it." Jules paused and lifted her eyes in thought. “I might have to speak to him myself." She muttered. "Email his contact to me.” She instructed, going back to her work. “Yes, ma'am." Then there was silence as Jules focused on what she was drafting out.There was a shuffle on the assistant's end, and then she let out a low, short chuckle, which made Jules stop and frown in confusion.“What's so funny?” she asked. "Oh nothing. I'm sorry." The lady quickly apologized, but Jules could still feel her smile. “Just that a few people at the

Jules took Asher's laundered clothes from the basket and folded them neatly, stacking each one with quiet precision to be placed where they were meant to be. It was one of the few things that helped keep her mind busy—so it didn't go wandering into places she didn’t want it to go.“Are you scared?" Trish's voice rang in her head once again.Of course, she was terrified!She couldn't even go further than the shopping mall a few blocks away, Asher couldn't go to school, and hell, she wasn't sure she wanted to go back to work.But if she was honest with herself, she was less scared of Nora than she was scared of seeing Ethan once more.How was she going to face him? How exactly was he going to react seeing her swollen belly?She knew he'd loved her deeply, still she'd tossed him aside and slept with her ex. There was this voice in her head always screaming that she was more of a monster than Ethan ever was.She was the actual villain in the entire story.“Mummy, look!" She turned just i

Cassie stared into the woman's eyes and could tell she really wasn't bluffing, and the more she tried to pry Nora's fingers away from her neck, the tighter her grip became.It was either she was previously in the army, or life had done a number on her to make her hand so firm and hard.Either way, the look in her eyes as she pressed her further onto the counter, said all the things Ethan had withheld from Colton."Don't play with me, Cassandra. And definitely don't threaten me, got it?”Cassie wanted to nod, but she was losing air fast. She just wriggled under her grip, her face begging to let her go.Nora’s teeth clenched, her fingers locked around her neck for a few more seconds before she finally let go, making Cassie nearly collapse to the floor.Nora turned and walked back toward the living room while Cassie coughed and gasped for breath.It was like everyone wanted to strangle her at one point or the other. Safe to say it could be the death of her.“Fuck you." Cassie mouthed, as

She struggled to pull three overfilled paper bags of groceries out of the car, stacking them one over the other before slamming the door shut.“I knew I should have just placed an order. But no, Mr. “I'm the CEO, you have to obey me” had to keep me so late at work.” She grumbled to herself as she staggered towards the front door, trying to wipe away her hair, which the wind had blown into her face. There were traces of fatigue echoed across her face, and she clenched her jaw, stopping herself from swearing as she shoved the bags into one hand, shoving the other into her bag to fish out the keys.“Come on,” she begged, feeling the bags about to drop from her hands while she dug through her bag. Finally, they jingled, and she pulled them out and let out a sigh. But just as she turned to the door and put in the key, they fell from her hand, and landed close to the door.“Fuck!" she swore, and she'd have punched the air or something if her hands weren't so full.She wanted to scream, in

Jules pushed open the door and flipped on the light switch.Shuffling sounds came from within the mini workspace, and a small smile touched her lips. She already knew what was going on.“Asher?" she called softly, taking a step into the room, her eyes scanning every corner, searching for where he could be hiding. These days, he’d made a game out of hiding from her—darting around the house just to make her look for him. And in turn, she loved every bit of it. Following his tiny giggles and clumsy footsteps had become their favorite routine, something that made her feel closer to him than ever.She shoved her hair behind her ear and bent, checking under the desk, but it was empty.“Asher, I'm coming to get you." She sang playfully. A giggle echoed from the corner, and she turned toward the sound, grinning. “I’m coming!”She moved slowly, careful not to trip over wires or paint cans, letting his soft laughter guide her. Even amidst the faint scent of varnish and paper, she could smell h

Kai scrolled through wedding venues, his eyes fixed on it like his life depended on it. He didn't even mind if Nolan was seated across from him or if he'd been speaking for the past five minutes.“I’ve had people try to get his location, but I don’t know how that would help us,” Nolan said, eyes also on his phone. “Aunt Maggie said—”“What about Cassie?" Nolan's eyes instantly darted around like he was checking if Jules was around, but he only heard Asher's laugh echoing from a nearby room.He turned back to Kai, shifting in his seat even though Kai still hadn’t looked up. “Jules doesn’t want to talk about her. It wouldn’t sit right if we just brought her in.”“So Cassie never tried to reach out at all?" Kai asked."She's never going to unless someone tells her to. She's either too proud or doesn't want to annoy Jules.”Kai just shrugged. "She could have helped since she irritates you less than Aunt Maggie." Nolan just stared at him, realizing only half his mind was present and he w
