(Bella)

Something about Dean turning up for this meeting rather than his assistant pushes me off-kilter. I'm convinced it's not just about business.

I'd like to think and as far as I know, Dean never mixes personal issues with business.

But then, so much has changed, he's changed and I can't hold on to the things I used to know, especially one that comes from a place of hurt.

Plus, I know he still sees me as a cheat and a gold digger, who was with him because of his money.

There's nothing I'd say or do that'd change his mind anyway, so why bother?

And oh, the smirk and glint in his eyes doesn't go unnoticed.

His attention is on me as he steps in, his proudful strides, a constant reminder that maybe — well, all of this is about me.

The impact of his threats still lingered, like an imprint in my head. But then, he needs to know it doesn't bother me.

I don't care about his threats.

I snap out of my daze, and put my game face on.

The presentation is filled with an underlying tension, which

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 192 This past stays behind me

    (Ethan)“You want to know what I think?” Dean asks over the phone. “Maybe she doesn't want to have anything other than work relationship with you,” he says and I frowned.Cursing under my breath, I mused. “I don't want to have this…. business relationship with her,”“You've made that pretty clear from the word go,” Dean quips back and I catch the amusement in his tone.“Then why can't she see that I want more, her. I've been very much obvious about what I wanted,” I breathed out.“Well, after an insanely long one-night stand with a man like you, I for one would want to stay very far away from you,”I roll my eyes. “I know what you're implying and fuck you,” I say, bringing my glass of wine to my lips.Dean chuckles briefly. “Look, Ethan. I don't know what to say to you, I'm not that much of an expert in this area either, you saw my struggles with Bella But…” he pause and I hear him drag in a sharp breath. “I remember someone telling me that if I want something so bad then I should go

  • Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife    Chapter 191 Crumbs of affection

    (Calvin)I used to wear the mask of a calculative son of a bitch all the time, I used to wear it so often that it feels like a second skin but all it took to disarm me was just one look at her.It all started the moment she walked into my office introducing herself as my new assistant. I stared at her for a second.Yes, I did. I had immediately noticed how beautiful she was and that pissed me off so greatly that I almost saw red.Never have I in my entire life as a CEO checked any of my staff out, and it mostly definitely wouldn't start with this one.Angry, I did the only thing I knew how to do best. I snapped.I thought hating her, hauling insults at her like I usually do to all my past assistants, making her work twice as hard will quell whatever it was that was brewing inside me.But that hasn't worked out well so far. It got worse, I began to notice little things about her, the color of her eyes, her nails, her outfit for each working day, the way her clothes clung to her gorgeou

    (Rihanna)For a second I went silent, my eyes stays on this insanely handsome face that has been taunting my life.This was the first time I was seeing him dressed in anything but his expensive suits. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled to his arms, his well-defined muscles in full display.Judging from his muscles, I'm sure his body is incredibly well built underneath that shirt and his—-I squint, caught off guard by my own thoughts. I shouldn't be checking him out— I quickly snapped out of it.Steadying my voice, I manage to say. “Good morning sir, the HR asked that I work from your home,“ I tell him, not sure why I feel the need to say that, when he was the one that gave out such order himself.He regards me with a look, and I see a glint in his eyes. I didn't get to recognize what it was when he spoke again.“Come in, Ms. Rodriguez.” he says, addressing me in an official tone. That was all he said before he turned, walking back in.If there's something that I recognized, i

    (Ivy)“I don't know how but Aria seems to be fond of him, my daughter was literally smiling at the jerk,”“You mean her father?” Tracy says with a teasing tone.I blanch at that and quip back. “Aria's got no dad! I'm all she's got!” the pitch of my voice went up and died on the last note with a strangled wheeze.“Fine, but don't you think this is way too risky? I mean you and this guy literally work together now, it's only a matter of time before he figures it out,”“He won't. No one here knows Aria is Ethan's, not even Bella. So, there's no way in hell he'd ever find out,” I say firmly and I mean every word I say.Tracy lets out a deep breath. “Alright — I'm just worried that things might get complicated, that's all,”I sucked in a sharp breath, appreciative of her concern. “I know, but that'll never happen. I will be careful not to let anything slip,” I tell her, more confident than I've ever been.“Okay,” she mutters.“So, what exactly do you want to discuss with me?” I ask, prior

    (Rihanna)Monday came sooner than expected and I still don't feel prepared to face Calvin.Every inch of me tensed, especially when he's not exactly been responsive. I had been anxious the entire weekend but now I'm in full panic mode over what lies ahead.Sighing, I called up Mia to vent, again.“Well, I think you should get to work before you start freaking out,” Mia advised over the phone, as I slip into my pair of heels.I exhaled a ragged breath. “I'm just—- scared, what if my sack letter is on my desk, waiting?” I ask, genuinely anxious. “He didn't respond to the email I sent him all weekend,” I whined.But really, that's unlike him. If for one, Calvin loves to work, replies to his emails, gives feedback all the time. This makes me wonder, does this have anything to do with what happened that night?“He might've been busy, have you thought about that?” Mia tries to soothe me. “Look, just breathe in and out and you'll be just fine,” I follow Mia's lead, taking in a deep breath an

    (Ethan)For the next few days, I bury myself in work. I attend more meetings than ever and go over for building inspection. Staying busy is my way of distracting myself from thinking about Ivy, it works somewhat.With my mind occupied with work and the success of my company, I barely had time to think about her. But the moments I do, it's the worst.Then one morning, my assistant, Grayson shares a good deal with me, some building in a good estate, ready for sale and inspection.I had just one problem, that estate was the same one where Ivy lives.“I don't think I want to buy,” I blurted out, not sure how else to put it.He blinks. “Why not?” disappointment claws his features. “You haven't even taken a look. It's a good one,”I exhaled deeply. “I don't think the location suits us best,”“It does, look.” he lets out, passing his tablet to me. I didn't need to look at it to decide, I have been there and I know that estate is just as good as mine. It's just —- Ivy, what if I bump into he
