She waved them off, before turning and heading back to her villa alone.

On her way back home, Briella stopped by the supermarket to get some groceries and supplies. This was her way of pretending her life was still normal.

Clad in a hoodie and joggers, hair packed in a pony, she moved through the aisles. She gathered some vegetables and a few frozen items and other consumables. After paying she took them to her car.

  • Ex- husband pursuit: Winning her back   Chapter 35: In the light

Laughter bubbled from her lips as her tiny fingers twirled the doll’s tangled yarn hair.At the door, her nanny stood still, her eyes fixed on her watching the child like she was memorizing every detail of her face.“It’s bedtime now missy,” the nanny said, her voice calm but a little distant.She walked in, switched off the television without waiting for protest, and gently took the little girl's hand.The little girl obeyed without question, carrying her doll as they made their way toward the stairs.Just as they climbed up the stairs, the front door opened roughly. Her father stepped in. Garland Milton, followed by the smell of expensive cologne tainted with alcohol. He didn’t see his daughter at first. His words were sharp and directed only at her nanny.“You d

Welcome to the big league.”"Happy birthday granddad." came with a tiny angelic

    Hours after Briella left Hayden’s office. She headed to Jaylen’s Apartment. Briella stood in front of his apartment, her expression unreadable, her arms folded across her chest as though they alone held her together.It had been a hell of a day, she couldn't find answers and David's search turned up to be nothing. But she needed peace more than proof and clarity over the situation with Jaylen. And he was the only one who could give her that tonight.She didn’t call ahead nor warn him. She just came.When the door swung open, Jaylen stood there in a loose tee, barefoot, blinking like he’d seen a ghost. They hadn't talked for a while now and he wanted to give her space. Seeing her surprised him. He opened his mouth, but Briella didn’t give him the chance.“What are you hiding from me?” She interrogated him.His chest rose rapidly that minute but he steadied himself. “Briella…”His eyes moved past her to the hulking bodyguard standing rigid near her.“Can we talk… privately?” he asked

    The drive to Linford Enterprise was fast. Her driver stayed silent, sensing the storm.The bodyguard kept close behind, but even he looked uncertain when Briella charged past the reception desk without slowing down.“Ma’am, you can’t go in there..!” the secretary protested.Briella pushed open the door without knocking.Hayden was behind his desk, his shirt sleeves rolled, tie loosened. His brows lifted the moment he saw her.She didn’t give him time to speak.“What is your problem, Mr. Hayden Linford?” she snapped, her voice was sharp, barely holding back the venom.His mouth parted. “Briella..”“No. Don’t Briella me.”She stormed toward the desk, eyes blazing. “Did you have me followed?”He stood slowly. “You were in danger.”“And that gives you the right to spy on me?”“I was trying to see if you are safe.”Briella chuckled bitterly.“You don’t get to protect me anymore. You lost that right the moment you divorced me.”They stared at each other. Breathing hard. The air between them

    Jaylen stared at the bracelet on the table. His eyes were without warmthHow did it get into his car, he had this exact design when he was young and he had somehow lost it. But now this seeing it felt strange. Something wasn’t adding up.He looked over at the surveillance monitor, fast forwarding the footage in silence, his eyes narrowed. He didn't see anyone around slip it in his car. But that was not his major concern.
