I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 115 New Boss
Every head turned.Two men emerged from the front entrance, followed by a handful of staff members.I recognised Rexford Caldwell from his file photo.The big boss of Nyx Collective, the man who had never bothered to show his face in the office until now.But it wasn’t Rexford who had everyone staring.That was Ashton, walking a step ahead of Rexford.His face was inscrutable as usual, a neutral mask he wore for business, and his hands were stuck in his trouser pockets.Yet something told me he was not happy.He reminded me of Bernini’s ‘David’, right before he slung the fatal stone at Goliath.Rexford cleared his throat and clapped his hands. ‘Hello, everyone! May I have your attention for a minute. Some of you know who I am. Rexford Caldwell, majority shareholder of Nyx Collective, this lovely studio you’re working in.’He paused, as if expecting applause.Nothing happened.He cleared his throat again. ‘Well, anyway, I need to introduce you to the new owner of Nyx Collective. Mr Ash

Back at my desk, I opened The Aureate Awards website to see what it took to enter as an individual.Violet Lin materialised like a ghost behind me, peering over my shoulder.‘Ah, checking out the website?’ she said, her tone smug.She placed her cup of black coffee down on my desk with an exaggerated clink, as if making a point.‘I guess you’ve heard the news, huh?’‘The way your voice carries, the janitor and his broom on the basement floor would have heard the news.’‘The spot’s mine.’‘I’m not deaf.’‘But you are stubborn. Still trying to get in, huh? Well, I wouldn’t waste time. Unless you’ve got thirty million spare cash lying around.’ She covered her mouth with a dainty hand. ‘Oops, I forgot. You don’t.’‘Do you plan on buying your way to the finals? I’m afraid all the gold in Fort Knox won’t suffice. You’d have to kill every other contestant.’‘Still sarcastic, I see. But I guess that’s all you can do now—talk. Meanwhile, I’ve got things to do.’ She picked off an invisible lint
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 113 Screwed Over
The atmosphere at Nyx Collective had changed.Everyone was on edge, running around like they had a thousand things to do.It was all because of the new boss.The word had spread like wildfire that he could pop by any minute for an inspection, and the last thing anyone wanted was to look unprepared.Savannah had been hammering it into everyone’s heads—no mistakes.The office had to be spotless. After the cleaning crew had done their rounds in the morning, we all had to go over everything again, checking every corner, hunting down every ant and its relative.I walked into the office that morning and, instantly, the atmosphere felt off.I meant, more off than usual.Everyone was scrambling to tidy their desks, but the glances they shot my way were... weird.I caught a few people looking at me, their faces tight, like they were about to say something but kept holding back.I raised an eyebrow, confused, and made my way to my desk.I looked over at Zara Khan, who’d always been my go-to for
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 112 Rings
I was slouched on the couch, flicking through channels, when I noticed a white box on the coffee table.Ashton came into the living room. ‘It’s for you. Open it.’‘For me?’ I looked up, surprised, and reached for the box, flipping the lid open.Inside were two rings.I froze, my fingers hovering over the smooth metal.He stepped into my line of sight, standing right in front of me. ‘They are our wedding rings.’I glanced at the rings again. A pair of platinum bands, each with a small band of delicate diamonds embedded in them. The first letter of our names—‘M’ and ‘A’—engraved inside.I didn’t reach for them. ‘What happened to the rings we wore to your grandfather’s party? I probably lost mine somewhere in the pool.’‘It has been found, but that was a mere prop, bought at a moment’s notice.’‘It was good enough to fool the guests.’‘But not good enough for you.’‘I’m not sure about this,’ I said. ‘We’ve already swapped gifts once, remember? The black gold ring I gave you, and the pend
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 111 Ashton’s POV: Give and Take
The car wasn’t crowded at all.Gino and Dominic had long since made themselves scarce.Ashton sat with the takeaway bag beside him. He lowered the temperature in the car until the faint flush on Mirabelle’s cheeks subsided.The windows had a tinted glaze to protect them from prying eyes.Mirabelle removed a bottled water from the minifridge and drank.‘Is this Carmen’s cooking?’ she asked, eyeing the box suspiciously.‘Yes,’ he said absently. A few water droplets had dribbled down her chin. She was licking her lips.She looked at him. ‘You really didn’t have to bring me lunch. There are plenty of places to eat around here. And it’s not exactly on your way.’It wasn’t. Not even close. It was a forty-minute detour with traffic and a minor detonation of his schedule.But Ashton hadn’t been thinking logically when he’d spotted her with Finn Carter. Logic had left the building the second he saw that man’s hands on her shoulders.‘I happened to be nearby,’ he lied smoothly.She shrugged. ‘A
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 110 Ashton’s POV: Potential Threat
The car halted at a red light.From the backseat, Ashton said, ‘Make a left turn.’‘But boss, our destination’s to the right.’‘Left. Make a detour.’The driver obeyed without further comment.They turned onto Garrison Lane, three blocks from Nyx Collective’s office.The car slowed, crawling through a street lined with outdoor cafés, post-lunch strollers and errand boys on scooters wobbling under coffee trays.Ashton had meant only to drop in and say hello.Well. If he was being honest with himself, he also wanted to check out her workplace, survey the male population, identify and quietly eliminate any potential threats.He trusted Mirabelle to stick to their contract clauses, but he also knew he wasn’t the only man with eyes in his head.Then he saw her. And the plan changed.She wasn’t alone.A man stood in front of her on the pavement, both hands on her shoulders, face tight with concern.He said something.Mirabelle’s back was to Ashton; he couldn’t catch her reply.The man dropp
