Lucas stepped into Clarissa's bedroom, the tension from his confrontation with Scarlet clung to him. He stood close to the door for a moment, letting the weight of everything settle over his shoulders.

His shoulders tensed as images of Lily swamp in his head. Her childish giggles and laughter filled his head. Her pouts, her warm smile...everything.

He would miss her. But he knew he couldn't continue to hold onto stuff that wasn't his. Luke deserves her more.

Lucas ran a hand over his face and moved to sit on the edge of the bed, he lowered his head and placed both elbows on his knees, lost in thoughts.

Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw the caller ID.

With a tired breath, he answered the call, swiping the answer button. "Hi, Grandma."

Her warm and familiar voice came through instantly, a bit too cheerful for the kind of day he was having.

"Well, well, look who finally picked up! Busy fighting off heartbreakers again?" she teased gently, sounding to

  • Ex-Husband, Beg Me!   Chapter 136.

    Clarissa stepped into the Rhodes family house early that morning. Her body was tired and her eyes felt heavy due to the lack of sleep and the tension overall. She had worked all night and hadn’t even changed her clothes. Stepping into the living room, the whole house smelled like pancakes and coffee.The first person she saw was Lorraine.“Mama!” he shouted, running straight at her with his backpack bouncing behind him.She bent low and hugged him tight, burying her face in his soft hair. “Hey, sweetheart. You’re all ready for school?”He nodded multiple times in excitement. “Yes. Uncle Edward helped me with my tie!”Edward came from the dining room holding a travel mug. “You’re late,” he said to Clarissa, teasing. “We already had breakfast. Thought you forgot we exist.”Clarissa rolled her eyes. “I was fixing the whole company overnight. Forgive me for not showing up at the family breakfast party.”Edward laughed and picked up Lorraine with one arm like he weighed nothing. “Alright,

    The lights in Clarissa's office were still on even though it was way past midnight. She had been working overtime to sort out the mess her company was in.Half-empty coffee cups we're on the table, a bunch of documents were scattered across the desk, and the PR team's rejected drafts were lying helplessly in the trash can.Her phone vibrated violently on the desk again. It was a call from her father.She let it ring without answering,knowing damn well what her father had to say.Her hands were on either side of her head, her fingers dug into her scalp, elbows pressed firmly on the table. She couldn't even think well without her head throbbing with a terrible headache.Then, there came a knock on the door. It wasn't even a full second before her assistant peeked in nervously. "Ma'am... it's bad. The stock price dropped again, almost eleven percent today."Clarissa lifted her head slowly, her eyes turned bloodshot, exhaustion crawling up to her face. "What about the press conference dra

    Scarlet was in the living room, curled on the couch with a glass of wine in hand, flipping through a magazine she had been reading for a while. The sound of the door slamming shut made her glance up, and her heart skipped when she saw who walked in.Lucas walked into the living room with a clouded face.He was back earlier than usual and that made Scarlet surprise.She sat up straighter, brushing her hair behind her ear as he walked in. His steps were heavy as he entered the living room fully, he didn't even look at her."You're back early," she said, trying to keep her tone light.Lucas didn't respond right away. He took off his coat, tossed it over the arm of a chair, and stood in the middle of the room, just staring at her as if he was wondering how he ended up in a situation with such a woman.Then, finally, he said, "We need to talk."Scarlet raised an eyebrow, setting her wine down carefully. "If this is about dinner, I told you I wasn't—""Don't," he cut in sharply, a tight fr

    Lucas stood still, his eyes were locked on Luke who was standing in front of him. He didn’t know what to expect but he knew something really bad was coming next.“Talk,” he said finally. “Start from the very beginning,I want to hear everything that happened.”Luke Hamilton nodded slowly before he got up to his feet, he brushed his hands against his pants to wipe off the dirts and then, he let out a deep breath.“It started... I think around eleven years ago,” he began. “That was probably the time Scarlet left you.”Lucas’s jaw clenched, but he said nothing. He remembered that year so well like it was a few days ago.“I didn’t know much then and i didn’t even know she was with you before because she never said your name. I just met her randomly at this small café downtown in California. She looked all classy but a bit broken, to be honest. She said she was going through stuff, and I was just… I don’t know…just being friendly at first.”Lucas kept his eyes on him, he never said a word a

    “Have you contacted the head of resources?” Clarissa asked, her heels clicked loudly against the tiled floor as she walked down the hallway in a hurry.Her assistant quickly reported, half running after her. “Yes, ma’am. But the media have been blowing up the news out of proportion. Elena’s fans are everywhere and her manager have been finding it difficult to keep her away from angry fans.” Clarissa paused, a deep frown on her face. “Is Elena’s manager in the office now?”“I think so.” Without responding, Clarissa diverted into the next cubicle by the left, filled with managers. Immediately she stepped in, the noisy cubicle turned silent, regaining some quietness. Clarissa’s eyes landed on the man at the far end of the cubicle, holding a file. “Mr Marcus.” Her voice rang in the cubicle and the other staff flinched back into their seats, pretending to be busy with work.The man pushed his glass upward, dropping the file before he walked towards Clarissa. “Madam CEO.” He acknowledg
