~ Chloe ~

Emery's message popped on the screen as I walked out of the office, my strides taking me to the elevator which I entered once it was open.

Pressing the button to the first floor, I checked the message;

*I'm taking Donald with me to a friend's place. We'll stay the night so don't expect me home anytime soon.*

A teeny bit of envy ran to my chest knowing she had friends she could stay with for the night, while I couldn't brag of any.

As the doors separated, I brushed off that thought, then left to sign out before leaving my company.

Normally, I wouldn't be leaving so soon, but with my thoughts unable to drift from Dale and his touch, accompanied with the fact my gown was torn by the tip and totally not business-like, made me just decide going home might be a better option.

I got into my car, and with a roar, the engine started, coming to life.

As I drove out, my thoughts (as expected) flew to Dale, the gentleness in his touch.

And how it had made me feel.

That was just stupid.

  • His Ex-Wife Came Back—Stronger.   118

    A sharp headache greeted me back to consciousness.My eyes opened, just to be greeted by the bright pink walls.At first I was confused, because my house held no pink in its decorations. But the moment my gaze landed on the person beside me on the bed, everything rushed in.Her seductiveness. The wine. The blurriness, then unconsciousness.Alertness bubbled in me the moment I noticed I was shirtless, but that calmed slightly as I jumped out of bed to see myself still covered in trousers.“Nora, what the fuck did you do?!” I barked so much she startled awake, eyes wide before settling on me and relaxing.“Gosh, I thought something happened.” She rolled her eyes, pulling herself to sit on the bed where the duvet slid off to reveal her fully naked.Never had such a sight brought that much anger. “What did you do?” I asked again, my tone sharper and fury filled.She shrugged. “I didn't do anything.” My chest burned, fist balled so much it took a lot of effort to not connect it to her fac

    I didn't take a driver. Just in case.Instead, drove all the way to Nora's place. The guards let me in so I got down from my car once parked in her compound, heading straight for her duplex door.Before I even rang the bell, it was opened for me by a worker.“Good evening sir, Miss Clint is awaiting your arrival.” She said with a small bow.Without offering a reply, I got in, not surprised to see Nora on the couch, dressed in a braless baby pink spaghetti handle singlet, so her breast fell on it, the outline of her nipples evident.Then she just had to top it with shorts that could definitely go off as knickers.“What's all this?” I had to ask, a headache already crawling up.Why on earth was she so frustrating?“What's what?” She spoke so sweetly, one could mistake it for a psychopath rather than seductive. “Have a seat, we need to discuss some things.”Hesitantly I sat on the one opposite hers just as the same worker who'd opened the door appeared with a glass of wine.I took it fro

    The message came as a startle, because it made something very clear…She was going to tell Chloe the truth. Tonight.Immediately, I left the company, more determined than I ever had to reveal everything to Chloe.I had to. Before it became too late.And tomorrow, was the definition of too late.All through, my mind ran. How was I going to tell her? How would she react?Those were questions which answers that just wasn't certain. And that left me a little shaken.The moment the car stirred into my compound, my phone pinged with a message.It was from Nora. *I'm waiting for you Dale. I have something important to discuss with you, and my advice is that you're not late. I promise it's not something related to your secret ◉⁠‿⁠◉*I muttered a cuss word, pocketing the phone.No way was I not talking to Chloe first.Nora could not be trusted. Seriously.So, I got out of the car even before a guard could saunter over, heading straight inside.Chloe was in my parlor when I got in, slight sur

    Dale had gone out that night, and didn't come back until eleven p.m.He'd been acting very strange when he walked in, and every question I asked ended with the same answers; *Everything's fine. I just had a long day.*He didn't even tell me where he'd gone.That was when I suspected that something was wrong.Usually I'd share my concerns with Emery, but as it was, she already wasn't on good terms with him so there was no use adding fuel to her dislike.And so, the next morning, when Tina showed up, I decided I was going to talk to her about it.Something told me she might know something about it.“Hey love bird!” She greeted the moment she walked in, throwing me in a big hug. “Have I told you how much I adore your dramatic entrance to the wedding?”“Countless times.” I returned the hug. “What's up with you?”She pulled apart, a wide smile on her lips. “The party with my friends was lit! We played so many games I never thought could even be possible.”“Well I'm glad someone had fun.”“

    The photo was of me and Cold while we chatted in the coffee shop.‘This’ looked like a couple-like photo.Oh goodness.When Dale's meeting seemed unending, I decided to leave, heading back to his place.Sophie was sitting like she'd been awaiting my presence, leg crossed over the other's knee.I had no idea how I looked, but it was enough to land a satisfied smile on her lips.“Did he finally realize what a waste of time you are?” She asked, but I ignored her, falling on the chair opposite hers.At the moment, I didn't care about her insults. All I needed was to see Dale. To explain everything to him.Never had I felt this worried to prove myself to someone.Well, at least not since the first accusation that led to our divorce then.And now, something similar was happening.Something told me that, just like the last time, this false news might just be orchestrated by her.“I've always wondered what he sees in you.” Sophie scoffed. “If I were a guy, I'd never—”“Shut up, okay?” My pati

    “No.” I muttered, head shaking like that would erase what was on my screen. “No No No No.”This couldn't be happening.Oh gosh, how could I have been so careless?I should've known. I should've known that the media are hungry for any juicy sight. As long as it brought them views.What was I thinking? Goodness, what on earth had I been thinking when I hugged Cole in a public place.What would Dale think? How would he react?Shoot, he'd be mad. He was bound to be furious.I ran a hand through my hair, dropping my laptop as I rose to my feet, involuntarily taking to pacing back and forth like that'd bring a solution.After a few breaths to calm myself, I dialled his number. Just to be sent to voicemail.That made me cup a fistful of hair in my hand. “No.”This shouldn't be happening. At least not now, when we were just a few days in.Quickly, I put on my slippers, then hurriedly left the house for my car.“Take me to Dale's.” I quickly told the driver, who heeded, driving off. All the w
