Riley’s POV

I was going through some pieces of paperwork and reviewing documents that are required to be done by the new managing director.

It was a lot to take in, but I needed to work hard to prove myself. My eyes were already aching at so much paperwork to review.

Knowing that I was in Asher’s position and he was underneath my command made

I felt superior, and although there was a hint of guilt, I could finally say that he got what he deserved. He may have treated me like I didn’t matter towards the end of our relationship, but now I did.

And he was to play by my rules, and I will make sure he regrets every single thing he did, including his family.

Since the other day he called, he hasn’t tried to reach out and beg for his job, but I had an email sent to him to resume work today.

I wasn’t sure if he got it or if his pride was too big to lower his standards and how to me?

Well, whatever it is, after today, if he doesn’t come, he was kissing his job goodbye.

  • Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss   35.

    Riley’s POVMr. King excused himself to talk to a business acquaintance. After today’s confession, I’ve been unreasonably clingy, almost like he wasn’t real and would disappear if I let him go.I let him go, allowing him to enjoy his night and celebrate his achievement, he deserved as much, and I used that as an opportunity to slip away unnoticed.The room was crowded and noisy, and I felt a sudden need for some fresh air, feeling a little bit too much suffocated.I made sure Mr. King didn’t have his attention on me, or he wouldn’t let me leave; that I was so sure of.I finally reached the French doors leading out to the poolside and slipped outside, closing the doors behind me.I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding as the cold night air brushed on my skin.I walked to the garden, relishing the sensation.I hear hush tunes as I approach the garden.I noticed two figures standing in the shadows, near the pool house. They were arguing in hushed tones, but I could tell it was a

  • Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss   34.

    Riley’s POVIt's hard to believe it's been two months since I got divorced and remarried to Mr. King. It feels like just yesterday I was at the hospital ready for an abortion and then Mr King walked to me soaked with blood.Time has flown by, and our relationship has only continued to blossom. Mr. Kikg has been nothing but a sweetheart, and now I can say I have fallen in love completely with Mr. King.And although I still haven’t said the words to him as he does with me, my gestures were too obvious to hide the truth.As I stand in front of the mirror, I look at my reflection, admiring the elegantly beautiful dress and king had gotten for me. I rubbed slightly on my bump, a smile spreading on my lips.I couldn’t wait to birth the bundle of joy; I can imagine how much happiness it would bring to our lives.The woman staring back at me is nothing compared to the woman I was after getting my heart broken by Asher. I’ve struggled to put my past with Asher behind me, and I’m glad I did.I

  • Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss   33.

    Riley’s POVAfter I registered what was happening, I pulled back, trying so hard to compose myself and not give in to his comfort.I needed to leave, or else I wouldn’t be able to control myself or my emotions. I didn’t want him to know how much effect it had on me seeing him kissing Monica.I tried to walk past Mr. King, who was still standing in front of my office door, his arms crossed over his chest. But he didn't budge."Excuse me," I said, trying to sound calm, but my voice trembled.My eyes were stinging with tears; I bit on my bottom lip, trying so hard not to break down, but he was making it impossible.He didn’t want to move out of my way, and that annoyed me.His gaze was blocked, more intense, and filled with so much guilt. "We should talk, Riley. What you saw wasn’t as it is, c’mon Riley, you—“I shook my head. "There's nothing to talk about. You should go back to Monica. After all, you two were enjoying each other’s company, and don’t worry about me. I think who you shou

  • Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss   32.

    Riley’s POVI ran out of Mr. King's office, my heart racing with hurt and anger. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Mr King and Monica, kissing in his office. I felt like I had been punched in the gut.After having a long day like usual, I’d slip out from my office to his office to clear my head, but I should have seen his betrayal coming.I could hear him yelling my name, but I ignored it, rushing to my office, shutting the door behind me, and making sure to lock it with a kiss.I leaned against the door, trying to catch my breath, and the tears started flowing. I broke into sobs, feeling like my heart was shattering into a million pieces.Why had I trusted him? Why had I thought he was different? They were all the same, men who only cared about themselves and their desires.I felt so stupid, so naive.He used me for his own game. I should have listened to Giovanni; I shouldn’t have let Mr. King Ma’s deceptive ways get to me.After all, I wasn’t in his league; it was always Mo

  • Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss   31.

    Nicolas’s POVNoah and I were in the office discussing work-related important stuff when Ryder walked in.My brows furrowed knowing I didn’t call for him, which must mean an emergency; he may have found something.“What is it, Ryder?” I asked.“It’s Giovanni,” he responds instantly.“What did the motherfucker do now?” Noah growls.He cleared his throat. "We've received intel that he's been working closely with your father, Mr. King."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."He proceeds, his expression getting darker. "It seems that your father has been secretly building a case against you, Mr. King. They're working together to take away your property and business interests. With your grandfather gone, your father believes he is the sole heir to the King’s Enterprises."My jawline hardened at the audacity of my father. For all these years he turned his back on us, and now he's suddenly back, trying to take away the company?I’d be damned to let him do that."I see," I said, my voice ev

  • Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss   30.

    Riley’s POVThe ride to the mansion was a quiet one filled with tension. I should have known he’d find me; what was I expecting?As we drove into the house, he didn’t waste time in sliding out of the car, walking away when usually he opens the other side of the door for me, and we walked hand in hand into the house.My heart squeezed knowing I’d piss him off.“You shouldn’t have run out like that. Mr. King is very strict when it comes to security, especially you… The same thing that had happened to him when he got shot could have happened to you; your life revolves around him now, and you’re the only bait to get to him,” Ryder informs, snapping me out of my train of thoughts.“I—“ I stuttered, unable to form any coherent words.“I’ll see you tomorrow, Mrs. King.” He shortens the conversation, to which I nod, forcing a tight-lipped smile.I got out of the car and walked into the house just in time; Mr. King walked out of the kitchen holding a bottle of water.He barely gave me a five-s
