Conall

I have been waiting patiently to hear from Serena for most of the evening, but I haven’t heard anything. She said she would call me, but she must have changed her mind. I am disappointed. I wanted to see her, just the two of us, with no other reason than to spend time together. No, it isn’t part of our deal, but we can still hang out. More than once, I have gone to reach out to her but changed my mind. I don’t want to seem needy. I sigh and toss my cell aside, beginning to feel pathetic with how much time I have been staring at it, hoping she will be in contact.

Only moments after setting my cell down, it begins to ring. I glance down and smirk when Serena’s name flashes on my screen. I am surprised because it is late. It is nearly midnight. I thought she would have been sleeping. I grab it and answer it quickly.

“Conall!” she chirps, followed by a giggle.

She sounds drunk.

“Hey, sweetness. Are you drunk?” I ask.

“A little. It was supposed to be a business dinner, but it turned

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me    Chapter Twenty-Seven

    SerenaI am nervous as I wait for Conall. What did his father say to him? It must have something to do with me if he asked to meet and it couldn’t wait until tonight. I can imagine the things he said. He never did like me. He tried to hit on me once while I was married to Henry. I shot him down, and since then, he’s taken a dislike to me for rejecting him. I told Henry, but he brushed it off and acted like it was nothing. I swear, looking back, there were so many red flags during my marriage. Ones that, if I had noticed sooner, I would have gotten out sooner. Love really is blind and makes you dumb. I would never let a man treat me the way Henry did now. He tried, but he would be gone. I am stronger than I once was. I didn’t have a choice, I had to be.I sip my coffee as I wait, and a few minutes later, I see Conall enter, glancing around for me. I wave, grabbing his attention. He smiles, coming over to join me. I didn’t offer him a coffee because I was here early and wasn’t sure when

    Conall I enter the office, feeling good after my morning with Serena. I had a spring in my step, ready to start my day. I smile and say hello to everyone as I go to my office. I would have much preferred to stay home with Serena, but I need to work. She is coming to mine tonight, well, maybe, she said she would let me know for sure.The moment I step into the office, my good mood is ruined when I see my father sitting at my desk, as if it were his office. Why is he here? He doesn’t bother with me unless he really needs to. If it were up to him, I wouldn’t exist. He hates me for ruining his perfect little family and image. He hates me in general, but the feeling is mutual. There is no love lost between us. I will never forgive him for what he put my mother through.“Why are you here?” I ask without greeting him.“We need to talk. Sit.” He demands.I want to tell him to fuck off, but I won’t. I will see what he has to say. The sooner I do, the sooner he will leave.I take a seat. “What

    SerenaI woke a little while ago. Conall is still asleep next to me. His alarm will go off soon, but I have a better way to wake him. One thing I am sure he would appreciate more. I smirk, carefully climbing out of bed and going to use the bathroom, freshening myself up before I slip back into bed.I make sure he is still sound asleep, and when I know he is, I slide under the cover, taking my place between his legs. I rub him through his trousers. Conall groans, arching his hips, and I use it to my advantage. I hook my fingers in the band and pull them down, only enough to release him. Conall lifts the covers, glancing down at me.A smirk curls on his lips. “What are you doing down there?”What sort of question is that? He knows the answer. I smirk back, not saying a word and dip my head down, circling my tongue on the tip of his cock and tracing my fingers over the base. Groaning, he tenses under my fingers and drops the covers, leaving me to it.I dance my tongue over every inch of

    ConallI am not sure if I made the right choice, agreeing to continue with Serena, but I am willing to give it a try. She knows where I stand and what needs to change. If she is willing to work through this together, then things will be fine, but if things go back to how they were, I am done for good.“You head up to bed. I will join you in a minute.”Serena nods, kisses my cheek, and disappears to my bedroom. I sigh and wash the cups from our tea. I notice her cell on the counter. Did she forget it on purpose? I should take it upstairs with me either way. I switch everything off and go to join her. Suddenly, her cell starts to ring in my hand. Who is calling her at this time? The number isn’t saved in her contacts.I am hesitant, but answer in case it is important. “Hello?”“Conall, why are you answering Serena’s voice?”I would recognise this voice anywhere. Henry! Why is he calling her at this time? “Because she is at mine, why else? What do you want?”“I want to talk to Serena,

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me    Chapter Twenty-Three

    SerenaI haven’t heard from Conall since he stormed out of my place this morning. I feel guilty for how I acted. He has helped me so much. Conall is the last person who deserves my bitchiness. It has crossed my mind many times throughout the day to reach out to him, but something has been holding me back. I wouldn’t blame him if he wants nothing to do with me or the arrangement any longer.It is after midnight, too late to reach out now. I came to bed two hours ago, but have spent all my time tossing and turning, getting in and out of bed. It doesn’t matter how long I stay in bed, I won’t be sleeping any time soon. With a frustrated groan, I reach for my cell and open a text to Conall for what feels like the hundredth time today. Staring at the screen, I can’t find the words, not the right ones. Texting only, sorry isn’t enough.Screw it! I drag my ass out of bed once again and pull a hoodie over my pjs and slip into a pair of sneakers. I grab my car keys, heading for the front door.

    ConallI wake to an empty bed. Serena isn’t next to me. Reaching for my cell, I check the time. It is only six. Where did she go? We only fell asleep a few hours ago. Sitting up, I pull it together and run my fingers through my messy hair. My heart broke for her last night. I knew it was too much for her to see Henry. There was no chance I was leaving, even if she wanted me to. Well, I don’t know if she really wanted me to or didn’t want me to see her upset and vulnerable. Either way, I wasn’t going anywhere.Did she move to the sofa once I was asleep? I drag my tired ass out of bed and go to search for her. I call out, but there is no answer. I search the entire place, and she is nowhere in sight. Where the hell has she disappeared to at this time of the morning? I didn’t even feel or hear her leaving the bed. Sighing, I return to the room for my cell and call her. It rings out. I try again, but it does the same thing. Should I be worried? What is something happened? I open a text to
