JOANNA.

Luther jerked back, pushing the woman off him in a swift, sharp motion.

But she only laughed lightly, breathless from the kiss, her hands still grazing his chest as she looked up at him with a bright glint in her eyes.

“Luther! Te he extrañado tanto! (I have missed you!)” she cried out, her voice thick with emotion.

I froze where I stood, every limb locking in place as my heart slammed into my ribs.

She knew his name. Who the heck was she and would she just start kissing him that way! And her language? Could it be Spanish?

Luther’s jaw tightened. “Camila… ¿qué haces aquí?( What are you doing here?)” His voice was a mix of confusion and uncertainty. It is probably Spanish, my chest tightened, could it be a woman he had some kind of history with? Geez, he dated women? Why did I feel so sad at that.

I stared at them—at her hand still on his shirt.

Camila smiled wider now, switching to English but letting her accent slip through every syllable like silk. “I came looking for you

  • Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me    Chapter 82

    JOANNA. I couldn’t concentrate on work, no matter how hard I tried to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, my mind kept drifting back to that moment. That kiss.That Camila, the audacity she had to kiss him after seeing a lady close to him. How did Luther date such a mannerless person? The way she had flung herself into Luther’s arms like she had every right to. The way her lips had crashed into his like it was something she would do a thousand times before and maybe she had. The thought made me insecure. Yeah, Luther had exes too. I mean look at me, I just got out of a toxic marriage with Asher. But I hated how it made me feel.I wasn’t supposed to care. At least, not this much.But I did.What if there were more Camilas? What if all of Luther’s exes suddenly crawled out of the past, declaring their undying love? What if they all wanted him back? What about me? Joanna? Didn't you keep saying you weren't ready? My inner voice reminded me and I let out a sigh. What if… Just wh

  • Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me    Chapter 80

    JOANNA.I focused on my food like it was all that mattered , I didn't want to meet Luther’s gaze for anything. Luther’s eyes fixed on me so intently. For a moment, I thought he might create a hole in my body with his eyes! My fork trembled slightly as I lifted it. Why was I even so nervous? This was just lunch. And why did I agree to come here in the first place. He is not making this easier for me. My cheeks were burning again. Ugh.“Luther,” I muttered without meeting his gaze, “could you not stare at me like that? You’re going to create a hole in my body”He chuckled lowly, amused, and entirely too charming. “I can’t help it. You’re so cute when you’re trying not to blush.”I rolled my eyes and took another bite, trying to appear unbothered. But I damn was! “You’ve got something right there.” Luther muttered. I finally glanced up, confused. “What?”Before I could do anything, Luther leaned forward and oh my God wiped the corner of my mouth with his thumb. My body tensed. He was

    JOANNA. I stayed there on the floor, my hands flying up to cover my burning face. I wasn't even bothered about the pain! My heart was racing so fast it almost hurt. Shit, how did I get entangled in this situation. He caught me, he obviously did. My cheeks burned in embarrassment. "Joanna, are you okay?" Luther's voice was full of concern as he leaned down toward me."I-I'm fine! Yes, yes, I'm fine!" I stammered quickly, waving my hand in front of him, urging him to move back and give me space.Luther chuckled under his breath, clearly amused, but he straightened up a little, respecting the space I asked for.I peeked through my fingers and glared weakly at him. "What's so funny?" I grumbled."Nothing," he said smoothly, though the corners of his mouth twitched like he was trying not to laugh."I wasn't looking at you, okay?" I blurted out, my voice rushed and defensive. "I... I just noticed something on your face and I was trying to... remove it. That's all." I tried to defend myse

    JOANNA. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I was speechless at his words. His eyes, those piercing blue eyes held me captive, and it was only now I realized how much I kept noticing them. How they made my heart pound harder against my ribs.nI shook my head slightly, willing myself to look away, to regain some sense of control. My hand flew up between us, trying to dismiss him. "Luther..." I whispered, my voice barely holding together."Just go away," I said, my throat tightening. "Please... I beg of you."Luther came closer instead of going away, resting his hands firmly on my desk, his body leaning slightly forward and, his eyes gleaming with mischief."No, of course not, my love," he said, his voice playful but layered with something serious underneath. "I’m not going anywhere."He flashed me a grin that made my heart skip a beat."I’m going to stay right here with you. I have a million things to do at the office, but today…" he tilted his head, his smile deepening, "I

    JOANNA.The documents in front of me blurred together. I was trying so hard to concentrate in the office. Nothing seemed to making sense. I tapped my pen against the desk, desperate to focus, but it was pointless.All I could think about was him, Luther. I'm afraid he might have done something because I'm trying to focus on my work but I just couldn't! That kiss, the way he kissed my earlobes, my neck. The way Luther's hands had cupped my face, how his lips had moved against mine like he owned them. Like he owned me. The scene kept replaying in my head over and over again. I shook my head, cheeks burning.God, Joanna, focus. Focus!But no matter how many times I tried to dive back into work, my mind kept replaying it — the pressure of his mouth, the taste of him, the way he whispered he was on a mission to seduce me and I guess he must have done something! I groaned softly, burying my face in my hands.What the hell was happening to me?Just then, movement at the door caught my eye

    CASSIE. ---"You’re useless!" I spat at the man I hired that couldn't get the most basic job done! We were in the same coffee shop I met him previously. Joanna is still roaming about, sound and healthy. I lowered my voice slightly, but the venom stayed. "I paid you double. Double! And she’s still alive, walking around like nothing happened! What exactly did you do!” The man shrugged, an infuriatingly casual gesture."It wasn’t my fault," he muttered. "I did everything right. It was supposed to look like an accident — her own mistake. But someone showed up. Someone important showed up and saved her. That was out of control” He responded. I can't believe he thinks he has the right! I narrowed my eyes. "I don't give a fuck, Mr man. Who the heck saved her by the way!” He leaned in, voice dropping to a rough whisper."Luther Martins. The almighty Luther of Mars Group himself. I heard they were getting married…” Luther? Wasn't that a stunt to make Asher jealous in the past or wait, it

    JOANNA. Luther continued kissing me, and I couldn’t pull away. I wanted to but I couldn'tI melted into him, lost in the sensation, forgetting entirely why I had come here or that we shouldn’t be doing this.The sound of our lips colliding filled the room, raw and unfiltered, while Luther’s hands cupped my cheeks, anchoring me to him.He deepened the kiss, sucking gently on my tongue, then planting soft, hungry nibbles across my lips, stealing every last shred of resistance I had.Finally, he pulled away, his forehead resting against mine as we both struggled to catch our breath."Luther…" I whispered, my voice trembling."You shouldn’t be kissing me..." I finished, barely managing the words.His hands stayed on my face, his thumb brushing tenderly across my cheek as he spoke, his voice low, rough with emotion."I know. But I couldn't stop. I can't."I closed my eyes tightly, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. “Luther… this is…” "Joanna, I can't..." he said, his vo

    JOANNA.I nodded at Gina, who kept her undying gaze fixed on me."Wow! This is amazing news, ma'am!" Gina squealed, her excitement bubbling over. I furrowed my brows, confused by her reaction."I knew it! I knew it had to be someone big sending you all those gifts. And it turns out to be the almighty Luther Martins of Mars Group. How romantic!" She threw her hands in the air, practically dancing in place. I stared at her, stunned. Was I the problem here?"Gina, we’ve been friends since childhood," I told her carefully."Exactly! That makes it even more romantic!" she chirped."Gina, he’s Asher’s best friend. Doesn’t that strike you as… weird?""Ma'am, are you from the 80s or something?" she asked bluntly, folding her arms. "I’m sorry, but your ex husband doesn’t deserve that kind of loyalty from either of you. If his best friend wants you, that's his loss, not yours."I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of my fears. "Gina, I’m scared. I don’t know if I can bring myself to love him...
