Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 040: The Challenge
After the call with Chase, Dante had been so overwhelmed with delight that he could no longer continue with the office work. He immediately picked up his phone, his briefcase, and his car keys as he turned to march out of the office, heading back to his apartment with a brightened-up face and a radiant smile.All through the duration of his drive back home, the smile on his face did not fade. He kept whistling, swinging his head from side to side heatedly, and thinking of how pleasant and freeing it would be to finally get to see Lyra again.When he arrived at the parking lot of his apartment building, he turned off the ignition of the Bentley, climbed down steadily, and strode towards the entrance with exultant steps.When he reached the elevator opening and was just about to touch one of the controller buttons by the side, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He paused to pull it out, only to see that it was an incoming call from his grandmother. He shook his head indulgingly before pi
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 041: A Meeting
Dante woke up early the next day, feeling a slight headache. The booming sound from the next room was still reverberating."God." He gasped in frustration.Then he sat up on the bed, gazing vaguely into space as he thought about how he could possibly pay her back for the torture she was putting him through. After a few seconds of gazing in this manner, an idea suddenly occurred to him."Yes," he murmured, nodding his head approvingly."This will surely teach her a lesson." He murmured again.He rolled out of bed and spent the rest of the minutes whistling as he got dressed and proceeded on his way to work.A few moments later, after dressing and coming out of his apartment, Dante stood at the center of the hall with his briefcase in hand to call on one of the maintenance staff.The worker, a tall guy in a marching white and black uniform, immediately scurried towards him."Yes sir." He answered, leaning slightly.Dante leaned towards him as well, lowering his voice to speak."I need a

Lyra woke up the next morning with her head still filled with thoughts of how to make a perfect retaliation at the 6B guy after all he did the previous day. Just a few minutes after getting down from the bed, she stood close to the nesting table, turning to Aria, who was now sitting up on the bed."I'm thinking maybe we should get his contact information and bombard him with unending calls, or what do you think? Too easy?"Aria yawned, covering up her mouth with a palm before she said, absentmindedly."Yeah obviously. He probably will just block the line or get another one."Lyra let out a small hum, tapping on her temple repeatedly, then murmured:"Or should we make the hallway slippery? or no, no, too dangerous."Meanwhile, Aria's mind, while sitting on the bed, was literally lingering with questions about the call she got yesterday."Why would Dante want to see me regarding Lyra? Does he even know she's back?"When Lyra could not still come up with a perfect retaliation plan, she
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 043: The Meeting
After a very long and stressful day at work, Dante returned home, yearning for a well-deserved rest, only to be welcomed back into his apartment by an annoying low-frequency hum sound hanging over the air.He stood at the doorpost, for some time holding onto the open door, staring confusingly into his sitting room like a stranger, while digging one finger in and out of each ear hole to be sure the problem wasn't from his own ears.After opening and closing the door several times and after becoming convinced that the sound was actually coming from his apartment, he decided to take his time to double check on his appliances as well as his gadgets, but none of them were connected. He didn't really expect any of them to be, though; it has always been a long-term habit of his to turn them off before leaving for work or anywhere else."So where could the source of the sound be then?" He muttered to himself helplessly, placing both hands on his waist.After racking his mind for a while, he c
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 044: Meeting
When the strange lady finally ambled close enough to be seen with all her facial features exposed in the light, Dante's doubts were completely cleared because the lady before him was indeed the vivid image of Aria herself. "What are you doing here?" He blurted in a rush, moving closer to her abruptly while Aria stiffened on the spot, maintaining a blank, frozen stare. Dante paused, half rumpling his face and twitching his fingers absentmindedly. Then, after a little fleeting, uneasy silence, he lowered his voice to ask in a draggy tone, "Don't tell me you're the occupant of room 6A." Aria swallowed, then, without a clue of what to say or do in this situation, she looked around cluelessly and attempted to walk away. But before she could take any further steps, Dante reached out and stopped her. Then, just after that, and before any real struggle could ensue between both parties, the sudden, high-pitched voice of another lady behind them interrupted the scuffle. "Aria, did you
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 045: Using the contract against her
When the repetitive banging of Dante's fist against the door became so much louder and difficult for the two friends to ignore, Lyra gasped and blurted, "Now that's got to stop.”Then she hurriedly grabbed the handle from within as she made to open the door with the intent of finally confronting Dante, but Aria's quick, hushed voice from behind made her stop."Don't." She whispered."I'll go instead." She added in the same tone, getting up to grab the handle in Lyra's place while gently pushing her aside.They stared at each other blankly for a while, then Aria gestured with her free hand and voiced in a concerned, knowing tone."He shouldn't be leaving you restless. Go change."Lyra made a sharp, grim face in silent agreement before letting out a little tired sound, pushing her hair up roughly with both hands as she marched unsteadily towards the bedroom with her heels, making knock-knock sounds on the smooth floor.Aria waited for her to leave the sitting room completely before goin
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 046: Trouble
Felix sat awkwardly fiddling with a gray pen on the roundtable as he presided over an urgent board meeting being held in their conference room at the Thompson's Fashion brand headquartersThe atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable, and the faces of the senior board members in attendance were a testimony to that; nobody was smiling, nor was Felix himself. He looked more like someone who had just been dropped amid a pack of wild, hungry dogs.His anxiety was not because this was his first time presiding over such a meeting; rather, it was triggered by the topic that was being discussed. This was also the same reason for the tension in the room; Thompson's company was in a dire strait.Things were falling apart; gross sales were at their lowest since the inception of the company; many of the franchises they had as partners were backing out in large numbers; and the rate of losses was beginning to threaten their ability to pay their staff. "Mr. Felix, this is getting quite serious; our a
