Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss Chapter 39
Her breath hitched, she took in a sharp intake of air, like someone had just walked into a ghost. And when I turned, my own breath stilled.“Sofia?” You've got to be kidding me! The universe has got to be fucking kidding me!!For a second, my brain refused to catch up with my eyes. My fingers loosened on my glass, my pulse slamming against my ribs.I didn’t even know what to react to first. Was it the fact that she was standing right in front of me, alive and real after all these years, or the fact that she looked… different. Older, maybe. Prettier. Like time had carved something into her face that wasn't there before.But she was still her, Sofia Rossi. The same woman who had ripped my heart clean out of my chest and walked out of it like I had never existed. She literally disappeared from my life.“You're alive.” Was all I could muster as I swallowed like a spoon of gravel was forced down my throat.She blinked as she took a small step back. “I—I didn’t—”Didn’t what? Mean to run

ClaireThere was still a lingering fear in my mind from swimming alone, but it was all I needed right now. To be alone.The water was colder than I expected, sending shock through every tissue in my body. For a second, it stole my breath, but I welcomed it. Pushing off from the edge again, my arms cut through the surface, legs kicking hard. Lap after lap.I try to convince myself that I’m just swimming. Just moving, just breathing, just relaxing in the calmness of the water. But my mind won’t listen.I could still feel it. His soft torturous lips on mine. The press of them, firm and intriguing. The way my body reacted before my brain even had the chance to protest.I dive under, letting the silence swallow me, getting lost ij my mind again. “Don't go too deep. Are you forgetting what happened the last time?” That tiny voice in my head tried to warn me, but I was past reasoning. Maybe if I stay down long enough, I can drown the memory of it. But when I broke the surface again, gasp

Giancarlo I wouldn't have expected for my life to turn out this way. I Met a crazy girl who proposed to me on impulse, announced my engagement a week later, me falling for or maybe not falling for the girl and now my grandfather planning a surprise wedding. So many events happening in the space of just a month. For a few seconds I was stunned, lost completely for words to say. Enzo had called my name twice already and on the third call, I croaked out a response.“Yeah?”“Dude? What the hell happened? Been calling you for minutes.” His voice boomed through the phone, sounding somewhat worried. “I was just stunned…. How did you know he was planning it? I'm sure if he wanted it to be a surprise, he wouldn't have told you.” “He didn't tell me. The organizer he was working with couldn't reach him at one certain point. So he came over to the company to meet me instead. Had to make the dude promise not to tell Ettore about meeting with me.”“I should've known my grandfather would want t

ClaireThe air inside was still, carrying the faint scent of his cologne mixed with the scent of the ocean breeze. He was there, sitting on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, fingers loosely woven together.I stop just inside, letting the door click shut behind me.“Can we talk?”I force my shoulders to stay relaxed, my expression to stay neutral, but my heartbeat stumbles. When it comes to Giancarlo, talk never means anything good. It never has.“Give me a minute.” I said in a low voice.I work to swallow and keep my breath calm as I cross the room to the closet. Picking a robe, I wore it and let it sit around me before letting the towel loose. I could almost feel his stare burning the back of my head, but I stayed calm.After securing the robe around me, I clocked my hair, letting free of the ones that were stuck inside the robe before turning around and making my way towards a chair. “Alright,” I said, meeting his gaze. “What do you want to talk about?”He looked at me fo

For a few seconds I was rooted to my spot, watching. His hands were in his pocket, his back to me, waves flipping at his ankles. Her fingers curl around his forearm, slow and deliberate, her body barely covered by the thin excuse of a bikini.I couldn't really see her face from where I stood, but I could damn well see the shape of her body and even I could not compete with that. I didn't need to go close to know her skin was radiant and soft just as much as her curves were gracious. And he doesn't even try to push her away. My stomach tightens—not with jealousy, I tell myself, but with something colder, heavier. I swallowed, my eyes refusing to move from the two of them.This is why he asked if we could stay a few more days.I should’ve known. The way he asked out of the blue wasn't something usual. Was this what he was pushing down his throat?The hurt is unexpected, creeping in at the edges of my chest, making my breath unsteady. This isn’t real. We aren’t even real and we would s

GiancarloI didn't realize how tightly my jaw was clenched until I heard her say it. Her words rang in my head repeatedly as I stared into her bluish– green eyes.“Pretending to care.”My fingers curl into fists at my sides, tension coiling tight in my chest. The words shouldn't affect me this much, but it is.“What are you talking about?”But she ignored me, attempting to go back to sleep, her eyes burning with something I couldn't quite tell. Hurt, maybe. Betrayal. She didn’t even hesitate before throwing the accusation at me like it was a fact.“Claire!”“Just leave me alone, Giancarlo. If she's the reason you want to stay a few more days, then be my guest.”Her voice was muffled by the blankets, but it didn't stop her voice from cracking underneath it.“You think that’s what I'm doing?” My voice w

ClaireI stepped onto the plane, adjusting the strap of my bag on my shoulder, willing myself to shake off the lingering weight of everything that happened on this vacation. The kiss. The fight. The tension.The days that led to this day, I treated him like anyone would treat someone they were trying to get rid of. Like a ghost. There was another way to do it. If I wanted my sanity back, I had to classify him under where he belonged. Insignificant.I needed space at least. Time. Something to put my thoughts back in order. But the universe, apparently, had other plans. After Giancarlo kept our bags, we turned towards our seats. A few steps away, my eyes landed on her.She was already settled in first class, long legs crossed, effortlessly elegant even in something as simple as travel clothes. A soft cashmere sweater, designer sunglasses perched atop her sleek, perfectly styled hair. She looked up just as we stopped, recognition sp

Never did I think I would be saying out those words, at least not as soon as I thought. Giancarlo was an asshole, but he also showed me a side of him I never thought existed.“I think I might be in love with him.” I spoke again.Silence.I didn’t look up right away. I can feel her reaction without even seeing it. The way her body stills, the way she blinked once, then again as if she was processing what I had just told her.When I finally glanced at her, she was staring at me, lips slightly parted like she was about to say something but didn’t know where to start.“…What?”She made an attempt at speaking but closed her mouth after that word left her mouth. I let out a breath, shaking my head.“I know. It’s—it’s not supposed to happen. It shouldn’t have happened.” I rub my temples, frustration curling inside me. “But it

Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss Chapter 131
Giancarlo.It was already morning when everything finally settled into my brain and i was givem the liberty to unveil the hidden meaning behind all the happenings that had happened in just a night. It seemed very much like something that would take a week to fully occur and not something that could even occur in such a small period of time.The intruder and everything, felt like a dream. A dream that I needed to wake up from. But I discarded the foolish thought at once.I was sure it was no dream. Claire, was still lying naked beside me, her breathing even and normal and the mass of hair on her head spread across the pillow like a soft, fluffy silk reminding me of more details of the past dangerous night.I had not had the opportunity to inquire much about what had happened from her as she had been deeply asleep and I too, wasn't far from that, at that time. The amount of energy I had inserted in the intruder's push had taken a quick toll on me, promising my heart that it would stop

Giancarlo.I tried to lift my eyelids in response to the weird feeling that was swimming in my brain and distorting my wonderful sleep. But they were so heavy—too heavy to be lifted.They fell back and became tighter after few tries. What backed up my weariness the more was that, the bed I was laying on felt so soft that trying to get up from it was like me lifting myself from heaven and plunging deep into hell. I enjoyed its texture and its coldness that waking up was something I even wanted to try. I just didn't have enough bravery and confidence to do it.But a strong urge to open my eyes and view my surroundings was tightening and wrapping strong on my neck, it's grip iron-like and gummy, making my free flow of breath to shorten in span and my head to knack uncomfortably.It was a grip I just couldn't ignore even though yielding to its call was as torturous as breathing through my ears.I tried again with my eyelids using much willpower, lifting them and managing to keep them a l

Claire.I reacted before my brain registered anything; a hot and resounding slap that even quietened Carlo's snore and made everywhere as quiet as a grave yard."Are you stupid? Like what the fuck?" I howled, eyes blazing in fury of a thousand tigress and my mind whirring like a hurricane wondering what the time was and why he had such boldness in him."Do I look like a whore to you? A sex toy?" My chest heaved and fell with the scalding heat in my chest and I clenched my fist hard, ready to punch out the teeth he used in speaking out.What the fuck was wrong with this return-from-the-dead ghost? Was he nut? How brave could he be? Saying so much nonsense with stupid pride? How dare him speak such a condescending, corrupt sentence to me?The thought ran swift in my head making my lips quiver and my lashes blink fast in marks rage."Well, you leave me no choice," he shrugged and pointed the gun at Carlo, threatening to pull the trigger, while putting on a monster-like smile and looking

Claire.My first instinct was to take my hand to my breast to cup it out of the eagle reach of his eyesight. I looked around frantically, trying to register any escape route or something but I saw none."Who are you?" I managed to ask after looking around did not yield good and satisfying results. I bit my lips hard as his eyes still trailed down my body, settling a little too long on my thighs and pussy area and making my cheeks grow red in embarrassment."It's me, Theodore," he replied, his voice getting annoyingly seductive and his eyes shining with the shadow light casted by the light around. I tightened my arms against my boobs, suddenly regretting not at least putting on my panties before embarking in such an idiotic war.Now I was exposed to him, almost defenseless. What was I even thinking? I scolded myself for my stupidity. Although, I had planned enough for everything, my nakedness and the shame from it was making everything seem so hard.“It's me,” he repeated. “Theodore.”

Claire.I woke to a strange toxic gas smell, making my nose get peppery and itching my skin. My nose itched with it too, dragging the hairs in my nose violently. My ears confirmed that something was wrong as there were sharp gasp for breathing, sounding in the roomMy eyes had to haul themselves open to find out what it was. I opened my eyes slowly and tiredly, my head banging with the promise of a bad occurrence and my heart getting foggy in fear.Another sound graced my opened ears. It was a thudding sound that sounded exactly like the fall of a giant and another thudding that could not be mistaken for anything but a footstep. I lifted myself upwards into a sitting position, blood rushing fast in all my body and my mind tattered with savage fear that moved electrically through all corners of my mind.My body began to shake violently and the environment, threatening to spin as I caught the mask appearance of a man and another sprawled figure on the floor. I immediately looked to my

Giancarlo.I widened both my eyes and my mouth as i stared doubtfully at her, heart pounding hard and hands shaking with the mere thought of everything.Could Claire truly do this to me? My heart raced and my blood pressure plummeted as I tried to understand the scenario, mind feeling like it was encircled in a spiky hammer and lips feeling very hot from the burning look in her eyes.Her eyes burnt ever so harshly, furnace of hate and resentment glowing so hard that the blood that bubbled in my mouth had to even still in fear with her fiery eyes.Nothing seemed to make sense, everything was just moving in a zig-zag fashion that it was extremely difficult to track it down.How could she do this to me? I wondered hurtfully. Could this really be her? The thought was icy in my head, sizzling with the fire burning inside me.As if in reply to my mountainous question, her appearance began to change. First, her lips; soft and succulent, were transformed into a darker and more manly lips purs

Giancarlo.I looked intently at the liquid, more in pondering than in horror, the veins in my head popping in and out in worry.With my banging head, it was hard to make connections properly especially when Claire was not even around to make things clearer. Or was she? The idea suddenly popped into my mind as I remembered the balcony, hands moving away from the liquid for a moment and look out to the chairs at the balcony.She could be there and waiting patiently for my return or probably receiving some fresh vegetation air.I moved with slow, unsteady steps towards the balcony, eyes checking backwards to reconfirm that the fading red dot from my eyesight was blood, and head thumping hollowly, feeling as empty as a useless milktin.Even when my tired mind thought that it was blood, I was still too confused to understand the enormosity of everything and make quick moves to a health practitioner.So I lazily walked up to her, like nothin

Giancarlo.I didn't even know what put me to sleep nor how long I had slept. But I certainly did know what brutally hauled me awake, panting like a dog and eyes widened like a pussy. My ears were not even spared from the brutality as my shrieking phone was literally shouting painful waves into my newly awakened senses, circulating pains into my upper body and making me wish there was a way I could just die at once. Its loudness was no doubt the source of my awakening as it continued on tiredlessly proudly teaching me a lesson I was certain to never forget.I looked around, head banging in confusion, hands finding trouble feeling, legs feeling more like there were two planks of wood lying peacefully on them.I was still looking around trying to put two and two together and maybe find an explanation why I was just so confused.Aside from the violently ringing phone that was threatening to rip my head and ears off and plunge it into the vegetations across the balcony, I found it diffic

Giancarlo.Suddenly, everywhere grew hot and suffocating, my chest beating faster than a talking drum and forehead throbbing hard. I tried to think of a time I had actually helped Lorenzo out with something, but surprisingly my mind sang nothing back.I shook my head sharply in disappointment, continuously hoping for just one scenario to surface and save my friendship and brotherhood.My brain was blank and suffering much with the hard exertion, my eyes growing blurry from the many colorful stars that appeared before them and fingers hardening from too much clenching and unclenching.Was there truly no time that I had gone through thick and thin for him? I brooded helplessly, guilt and hurt fighting for a room in my already tired and weak heart and my stomach churning with a promise of a successful nausea.I racked my brain harder, his glare growing more intense, burning through my self-control and leaving me nakedly exposed to his perfect judgement.The result from my intensively ra
