My brows drew as I made a sharp turn towards him, an irritating glare hurled his way.

“Why are you here?” The words came out gritted, furious and loathe filled.

But he didn't seem affected.

Instead, drew nearer, expression plain. “I come here every year as this was something I knew you liked to do.”

If he'd thought that'd reduce my level of annoyance, then he was very much wrong.

Instead, my frown deepened. “Why do you think you have the right to come here? Do you seriously think they would've wanted—”

“Chloe, enough.” He cut me off, his tone sharper now.

Then, he stepped forward, closing the gap between us till he was just inches away.

I didn't draw back though. The scent of his cologne danced around my nostrils bringing back a familiarity I had almost forgotten.

That was a scent I'd fallen for. One I loved to draw in.

But now… it irritated me.

Him being so close didn't make my heart flutter as it would've then.

It didn't send butterflies flapping in my stomach. It didn't wrap aro

    I stared at him for a moment before stepping back slightly, my heart beating way too fast for its own good.“What frame are you talking about?” The words left lower than intended, but I managed to cover any hint of gruffness from my nervousness in them.“One of your mom, as I said.” He simply replied, and goodness, I just had to wonder if the way this guy made me feel was one-sided. “And a necklace. Something I'm sure would be better in your hands.”I couldn't agree more, and so, there I was, ten minutes later, sitting on the passenger's seat of his car and on my way to his house.A place I shouldn't be.This might be a dumb idea.In fact, it was one.Heading to my ex-husband's house in the night most certainly was dumb.I'd been making a lot of dumb decisions lately, so yeah.Also, my heart ached thinking of a memory of my parents.It always did.When he pulled over in front of his place, my heart warmed slightly as I stared at the exterior.It was exactly the same as where we used t

    “How long have you been here?” Those were the first words that left my mouth, brows dipped the deepest.He strode over, stopping right in front of me with a face devoid of expression. “Long enough to know you and Cole aren't a thing.”I had to suck in a breath to prevent cussing, because seriously?Seriously??!!!How the heck could I seriously have been careless?Careless enough to scream something I was supposed to keep secluded.I didn't even want to know how Emery would react. Whatever her reason for keeping Donald, might end up in the open if I didn't do anything.She might actually suffer for it in the end.Obviously that was something I wasn't going to sit and watch happen, but I also wasn't going to be the most obvious person, so I asked;“Why are you here? What on earth are you doing in my neighborhood?” My hands flew to my hips. “Don't tell me you're actually stalking me now Mr Beldson.”A ghost of what looked like a smirk pulled up his lips. “Do I really look like I'd stop d

    “That has to be one of the dumbest thing you've done Chloe.” Emery shook her head. “You really don't learn your lesson, do you?” At that point, I couldn't even say anything, because geez, I hadn't felt dumber. But of course, my pride was still in existence, because I rose to my feet, shoulders straightening. “Why do you guys act like it's so much of a big deal?” I rolled my eyes. “It's just us staying in the same country, but different hotels, different space and likely little time we'll have to see each other. So all your worrying is just proving to be unnecessary in case you don't know.” “Right—” “It's okay.” I cut her off, already making my way to my room. “This is something I don't want to discuss any further. Drop it.” Her cheeks bloomed, but she didn't say any more, instead scoffed and was off to her room, while I went to mine. Angry at myself, but not ready to dwell on that, I left all forms of work needed and just went straight to bed. ~ When I woke up, it was already

    ~ Chloe ~I had to bite my lower lip to prevent the cuss word about to erupt, as I strode out of the meeting, Kanyin beside me.That didn't at all go as planned.Not at all.It was supposed to be my way of reminding him of my position and how many great ideas I could come up with that would let him know this wasn't that dumb Chloe he knew three years ago.Of course, I'd succeeded in that part.But the avoiding him own…That, I did not— at all— succeed in, because here I was, probably going to be in another country with him, both of us foreseeing a project.What the heck was wrong with me?I'd have refused it when he'd offered, but just the thought of him figuring out I was obviously trying to avoid him, pissed me off to the bones.I couldn't at all imagine that happening.And so I'd done the dumbest thing… I'd agreed to travelling all the way to another continent.Far away from everyone else.And to a foreign land, where I will be alone with him.*“What the heck?!” Emery's eyes widen

    “Seventy five percent?” One of the partnering CEOs, a bald man possibly in his fifties, exclaimed. “If it flops, it could lead to a high loss ma'am.” A guy with graying hair (though he looked no more than thirty) shook his head.“Too much you're placing at risk.” The guy beside me interjected, brows furrowed. “Flopping would mean dragging us down the mud.”“That's just stupidity if you asked me.” Another said, a red haired female with a gown too tight, I wondered if she could breath in it.Instinctively, I was about to stand up for Chloe, when she spoke, “which is why I didn't ask your opinion, Miss Sanalvi.”The red haired, now known as Sanalvi, stared wide-eyed, obviously shocked by the retort.Even I was surprised. Certainly the good type though.My eyes stayed glued to my ex-wife, watching how she stood, composed, shoulders straightened, head held high, chest puffed slightly.Damn, this woman was not backing out any second from now.And my goodness, I'd be a goat if I didn't admi

    ~ Dale ~It was exactly three days after my engagement when Rita let me know there was a meeting being held by Chloe, involving all her partnering company CEOs.She had let me know it wasn't anything compulsory and I could refuse it if I wanted to.A part of me knew the smart thing to do was refuse it. Especially after my engagement.But the other part— the dumb part— decided to choose otherwise, and instead offered a curt nod to my secretary, letting her know I was in with the idea.Which I shouldn't be.Either way, here I was, three days later, at the back seat of my car, on my way to her company.This was obviously a dumb idea, but yeah, I was still going to do it.Rita was beside me, doing whatever work she knew to do.Ten minutes later, the car came to a halt so we got down.Smoothly, my legs strutted in with Rita beside me.As expected, my presence commanded attention.Eyes glanced my way occasionally, before they bowed.Some had theirs in awe, as I headed to the receptionist wh
