Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back

“Hey honey, welcome back from work,” Briella said when her husband walked in.He ignored her greeting. “Meet me at the rooftop by three o clock, we have something to discuss.” He said looking around at the busy staff cleaning the mansion.What was so special that he couldn't tell her here and now, Briella thought.Time passed and after Briella finished inspecting the workers, she headed to the rooftop.Sitting casually on the rooftop sofa, Hayden's eyes were fixed to his phone. Hayden, seeing that Briella had arrived, stretched his hands and handed her a brown envelope.Briella's eyes narrowed as she took the papers, as she looked at it, The words blurred as tears pooled in her eyes, threatening to spill over. He was divorcing her? It felt like her heart was crushed. Her sight became blurry but she could still see the very handsome but cold man that would soon be her ex-husband.Upon noticing that Briella was staring at him. He retorted, his voice cold and detached. “Sign the damn p

Briella’s hands trembled as she unboxed the package, who had sent this? Inside lay a bottle of her favorite wine, a box of delicate chocolates, and an assortment of cupcakes, each decorated with intricate frosting. But it was the final item that made her breath hitch was the latest edition of a Chanel handbag, sleek and elegant.A card laid within the gifts, her fingers grazing over the paper. It read only two words:"Welcome back."No name. No hint of the sender.Her first thought was that it was probably her brother. He had always been thoughtful. But before she could dwell on it further, her phone buzzed in her hand.Unknown number.Her brows furrowed as she hesitated, then swipe to answer.A deep voice pierced her ears.Did you get my gift? He asked."Who’s this?" Briella asked, gripping the phone tighter.A low chuckle rumbled through the receiver. "It’s been two years, and you’ve completely forgotten my voice? Come on, Briella. it's Brian "Her breath caught in her throat. "Bri

He was about to speak. But then, just like that, he became mute, and before Briella could react, he turned and dashed away, leaving her standing there, unanswered. “Where are you off to?” She yelled. But he was already gone. Briella exhaled, running a hand through her hair. “Am I losing my mind?”A few minutes later, Briella caught sight of a black G-wagon driving in.Hayden came down and opened the passenger door. When Briella saw he was wearing the same clothes as the person she had just spoken to. Her heart raced, She didn't know what to make of this. Was she hallucinating?Then when she saw the way Hayden smiled at Hilda, soft and affectionate, his hand placed on her back. Briella dug her fingers into her palms. From across the driveway, Hayden’s gaze moved to her. His face suddenly became cold as he guided Hilda inside the mansion, his eyes still locked on Briella without a word. Briella felt the urge to barge into the mansion to deal with Hilda for stealing her man. But he

Briella's breath hitched as she took a look and the towering figure looming over her. Hayden? She bit the hands he used to cover her mouth. “Are you a dog?” Hayden snarled, jerking back as if burned. “You’re the animal!” Briella spat in rage. “What the hell are you doing? This is the ladies restroom, you pervert!”Hayden’s jaw tightened, impatiently he asked “Were you cheating on me with some old man when we were married?” Ever since that car picked up Briella, his mind has been in a mess. And to think Briella knew old Chairman Milton. He was confused.He’d dug into her past, only to find nothing. No records, no history. Like she’d been wiped clean from existence. The accusation shocked Briella. “What does it matter? We’re divorced. How does the past matter now? My life is none of your business!”Hayden clenched in fist. His intuition was always right. But he was going to get to the root of this, he felt Briella was hiding more. The car she drove here, the guy he saw with her a

“Hayden…” she sobbed. “The flower shop, it’s gone. It burned down.”“What?” He moved quickly to her side. “How.. What happened?”“They think it was deliberate,” her voice choked out. “And my mom... she’s blaming me for leaving the place unattended for so long.”Hayden wrapped his arms around her as she trembled.His chest tightened. “Hilda, I’m so sorry. I know how much that place meant to you.”“I need to go back home,” she murmured.“The police are looking into it, and…I need to be there”“Do you want me to come with you? I can help to speed up things, and I can finally get to meet you mom ”“No,” she cut in, almost too quickly. Then she cleared her throat “ I can manage on my own, this isn’t the right time to meet her and you know I haven’t told her about you.”Hayden’s jaw clenched. “Why? are you ashamed of me?”Hilda eyes widened, then stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his waist. Her voice softened teasingly. “Ashamed of a drop dead gorgeous billionaire CEO? Which sane p
