(Dean)

I couldn't have been more restless after seeing Bella's text.

She wanted to meet and talk, on one hand I was happy she texted, super excited even but on the other hand I was dreadfully nervous.

Bella wanted to talk?

That thought leaves me thrilled and anxious. We'd be having lunch this afternoon, and hence I welcomed the morning with an electrifying buzz.

I wore my finest suit, a well polished shoe and made sure my hair was perfectly in place. I just couldn't help myself.

Ethan noticed it, perhaps from my voice when he called this morning to remind me of the meeting with the upper Elites.

And trust him to not fail to ask. "You sound incredibly thrilled for someone who'd be in the same space for two long hours with Eric Scott," He say, my mind drifts to the meeting I do not wish to attend.

If it wasn't out of duty and perhaps business, I doubt I'd want to be anywhere near the likes of Eric.

Eric always wants to undermine me at every turn. He seems to cease any chance he gets to

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 222 Whisper in the dark

    (Ivy)My hands hovered on my keyboard, typing, erasing and typing again.Frankly, I had never wanted to reach out to Ethan. But then he's my business partner, isn't it normal to try to find out if he was okay?I exhaled, reaching to type again.“Hey, this is Ivy. Just wondering if you're fine—--,” I pause, erasing it again.Ugh.What has come over me?It's just a text, not a death wish.I closed my eyes and by the time I opened them, I was sure about it.So again, I retyped.“Hey, this is Ivy. You didn't show up at our last meeting and didn't reply to my emails, I was just wondering if everything’s okay?”I hesitated, biting my lips, then finally, I clicked send, tossing my phone away before I change my mind and delete it.I reached for my laptop and buried myself in work, hoping to keep my mind off other things.It worked, somewhat.But after a while, a knock comes to my door and I snap my eyes to it. “Come in Mary.”She walks right in and I spot a disturbing look on her face. “Is th

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 221 Lovestruck

    (Calvin)My mind has been a mess since I closed from work, and it's because of what Rihanna said to me.I wasn't big on overthinking, but I have been doing it quite often recently. And I usually don't even care about what everyone thinks about me.But my stomach has been twisting since she left my office, She sees me as the devil’s grandson and it bothers me.I downed another half shot of the hot liquid and Christian watched me silently.It took a while before I let the words out. “I lost to you, happy now?”I see him smirk as he brings down his glass. “You lost even before you started, took you long enough to admit that,” he mused.I glare at him. “Were you messing with me?”He tuts and tilted his head. “What do you think?”I cursed under my breath and his smirk widens. But then, he sits up straighter, his eyes fixed on me. “I knew you liked her, I just wanted you to see it too,” he says and paused, pulling out a file, he pushes it to me and I immediately knew what it was, so I scoff

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 220 A Disturbed mind

    (Ivy)I shake his hand and ask. “Why am I having this meeting with you, Mr Phillips?” I mutter, my eyebrows lifting in question.He gives me a polite smile and replied. “My boss had something urgent to take care of, so I'd be finalizing this in his stead,”“Oh, I see.” Is all I say, forcing a small smile.He narrows his eyes on me. “Shall we?”I nod. “Sure,” I retort, taking my seat.But as the meeting progresses, I can't help but wonder what was really urgent that Ethan had to disappear for days.That's my own thought though. I don't ask. It really isn't my business. So I put it out of my mind and focus on what is.Grayson was as good as his boss, I had no doubt he was a loyal one too. And by the time we came to a final conclusion, I was quite impressed.I gather my things and stood up managing a small smile. “Have your boss take a look and if it's still unsuitable, we'd reduce some mechanical designs to better control costs,” I tell him.He nods but says. “He's given order to procee

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 219 Me to him

    (Rihanna)I spoke to Anthony on my way out, apologizing for the stunt Calvin pulled last night.He was fine with it, and he wants a make up lunch date. But I told him I'd think about it and with that I killed the call.Amanda's call came in later, apparently I hadn't seen her text, she was worried sick that I wasn't at work and was wondering if I was okay.But what really got my attention was her first words as I answered her call. “The boss came in late today and you're nowhere to be found, Rih.”I blanch at her words, Calvin's echoing in my head. “You have the day off Rihanna.”Why'd he grant me a day off knowing he would be at work?I swallowed. “I took a day off, I'm sorry I didn't text you about it earlier.”She goes silent for a second. “He let you?” There's skepticism in her tone, like she's finding it hard to believe.Calvin never really grants a day off quite often and if he does, it's with a very good reason.But he let me take the day off, twice in a row.I exhaled and admi

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 218 More than it seems

    (Ivy)I hadn't seen my supposed neighbor up until this very moment and I promise you I wasn't looking out for him or anything.But it does feel off.He has bothered me to no end these past months just to go mute all of a sudden?I sometimes catch myself refreshing my emails to check if he had sent anything, but there's nothing.I sighed. Why do I even bother?It's a good thing he had let me be. I will see him on Friday anyways.I managed to put it out of my mind and focus on what's important, family and work.Anything else is just a distraction, one I can't risk right now.Tracy's been pretty busy with work and so have I. I got her text earlier that she’ll be going to Europe for a three weeks business trip.That simply means she won't be able to listen to my rants as often as she used to and that's very much okay. Just three weeks and I will have my best friend back.I can bother Bella while she's gone.I got busy, like really busy. I got new clients, workload doubled but that also me

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 217 Change shaped by her

    (Rihanna)I watch as Calvin strutted out of the room and only then did I release the breath I didn't realize I was holding.I glance down at my body and I have a fluffy nightgown on, which leaves me thinking, was it Edith's? Or that weird lady's own.Speaking of weird, the look she threw my way as she stormed out of Calvin's office, a deadly glare, filled with venom and disdain. I wonder why.The beeping of my phone pulls me back to earth, I look around for it and found it at the bedside table.Reaching for it, my eyes widens as I see tons of missed calls from Anthony, and texts.I did see two or three missed calls from mom but I ignored it, tapping on Anthony's message.“Hey, where are you?”“Did he take you home safe?”“Are you sure you're okay? Please respond as soon as you see this?”I let out a deep breath. I'm staying off alcohol for a really long time.I quickly typed back a response. “Yes, I got home safe alright. Thanks for inviting me out and I'm sorry for what happened,”I
