Who the hell did this to the tire? I kick against it in frustration. There's no way it can get punctured while staying in the same position. That means someone messed up with the last two tires.

"Isn't there a single-vehicle available?" Nova curls up her face.

"No"

"You have a spare car, right? Where's that?"

"I asked my driver to drop Miss Benson", I tell her. Nova's reactions stiffen as she pulls on a dirty look.

"Oh. I should have known that. Anyway, we can cancel the plan then. I'll have dinner with Olivia in the office"

"No. Wait", I scoff, scratching my head as Nova passes me a wide smile. "We can hire a cab though it's gonna take some time"

"I can't believe that you really want to go on a dinner date with me"

"Of course", I smirk. "It's been a long time, right?"

"Yeah. It's been so long. In fact, it's the first time I can see your interest in having some time with me", she decreases the gap between us.

Keeping the smile on, I take a step back. "Let me book a cab"

  • I Kissed My Ex-boyfriend, & It Went Wrong   Author's Last Note

    THE END NOTEThe journey of Kane & Emily ends here. You may find the epilogue a bit incomplete because Samuel hasn't accepted Kane wholeheartedly but there was indeed a step toward him. Such kinds of relationships are hard to form. and I hope this loose ending of their relationship doesn't look too negative at all. I tried to make it bitter-sweet as it certainly is in the real world. Let me know how you found the book overall. What you loved, what you hated. This book was a spin-off of my other book MR CEO, MARRY ME ON CONDITIONS. Many of you might not know. Kane and Emily were the side characters in that book. And I hope you could read it as a standalone.I'm plotting another book in this series. you might have guessed until now. Chrisanna and Samuel.I'm not sure when I'm gonna start writing that book. I'm too busy this month. even the next month can be hectic. I'll most likely write Samuel and Chrisanna's book in September. You may follow me on Instg with my pen name already writt

    I let out a deep sigh and look down at Emily. She's almost on the verge of crying. And she does. Just when I strive to hold her again, surprisingly, Samuel comes forward and cleans her tears with his small palms. "Don't cry," he gasps in a cold tone, frowning at her. "I'm angry. I don't hate you"Emily smiles in tears and hugs him right away, breaking into tears. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, my baby," she sobs, hugging him tightly as I find Samuel staying calm and rolling his eyes around. Poor boy doesn't even know what the hell is happening in his life. He lifts his eyes and stares at me coldly. Emily breaks the hug and his face. "You're angry with me? I'll remove all your anger soon," she kisses his cheeks and all over his face. But he seems to be too stunned to take it all. "Let's go now. I'm here to take you home," she says."I won't go," he shakes his head. "I wanna go to dad. I want dad"Emily pauses, gawking at him. She says nothing. Tears roll down her cheeks as she low

  • I Kissed My Ex-boyfriend, & It Went Wrong   Epilogue— I

    Emily"The court is adjourned"My attorneys cheer up as the judge exists and Ivanna hugs me from behind. "Congratulations!" She exclaims in joy and I feel nothing for a couple of seconds when Damien is taken by the cops in front of me.As he gazes at me with his hatred and disgust-filled eyes, I glared back at him, hot tears streaming down my cheeks as I recall the dead face of my dad, that cruel hour of my life and years filled with pain and darkness. "Congratulations, Mrs Gabriel," my head attorney, Lana, hugs me. "I hope you feel better"I move my gaze from that view of my ugly past and thank my team for being so patient for so long and finally turn back to the man standing behind me, who has always been there ever since we reunited. Kane is smiling at me. His eyes are moist. I don't think I would ever be able to do it if he wasn't there to hold me each time I fell weak on this journey. We don't share words, we just look into each other's eyes. Five years. It took five years to

  • I Kissed My Ex-boyfriend, & It Went Wrong   Chapter 48 : To US

    Kane The entire night was spent in anxiety. I had been staying in a small guest house, just a kilometre away from that foster home. In the evening, Ethan came and told me that he had handed the wedding dress to Rylie Mae. She looked happy. But she said Emily hadn't talked to anyone after I left. She didn't even come out of her room. I know it was going too fast and I believe she'll know what she wants. I wasn't lying when I told her I would leave everything behind and make her world mine. I'll definitely do it for her. I just wanna see her happy and satisfied. When I met her yesterday, I saw that urge in her eyes. She was so hesitant when she asked me to leave as if she was unable to convince herself. If I had found a bit of resistance in her eyes, I would surely walk away. We're gathered in the small church situated a few yards away from the foster home. And it's already the moment. Ethan comes rushing when we all were waiting outside the church. "Kane!" He huffs. "Coming from t

    Kane"Emily is in Atascocita, a small village in Houston. She joined the foster home recently. Two years ago she helped an elderly woman to found a foster home for young girls. She loves to be around them and helps them to find a direction in life"Auntie Rachel's voice echoes in my head as I drive faster in that direction with a bunch of hopes. I look at the sky. It has turned pink, and the sun is slowly moving to the horizon. Everything feels unreal now. I know where she is. But I also know that it's gonna be harder to face her now. How am I gonna ask her to come back to me? Will she ever trust me with everything? Enough of this. It's time to face it, Kane. It's time to fix all the damn damages I did. I rub my eyes and get into the car, keeping the jar safely in the backseat, then I drive faster towards the direction which leads to the exit from this small town. *I reached Atascocita till dawn and waited for the sun to come up so I could enter the village. There's no doubt why

  • I Kissed My Ex-boyfriend, & It Went Wrong   Chapter 46 : Her side of the story - II

    I brace myself before reading it. "As you sow, so you reap. That's what dad used to say. But it has never been the same in my life. I got the worst in return for a single NO. I can't believe I'm a woman of this era where we're still not allowed to say NO to anything. We don't have a right to make decisions and any random person thinks that they can make decisions in our lives as if we're obliged to do whatever they want.I realised this fact in the worst way. I never thought turning down a silly offer would bring a nightmare to my life. Damien Porter is a demon with the skin of a human. That's what I found out the day when I was taken by his men and brought to him in darkness. I still remember that horrible day when I was surrounded by darkness in that empty room. I kept screaming and crying to break the shackles when he came in front of me. I still remember his creepy face when he walked toward me with his horrible smirk. I knew it was not going to end well. But I wasn't the kind
