Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss Chapter 44
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

GiancarloSince we got back, I had made sure Enzo kept tabs on my grandfather to not only prevent him from doing anything stupid like a wedding, but also give me information on cases he couldn't stop.Today, work was boring and I felt the need to stretch my legs and maybe drop by Enzo's office to know what's up. I barely went to his office.So, I didn't knock. I never do. A lot of times he's pointed out to me never knocking, but I never mind him since I have just as much right to his office.Then when I pushed the door open, words hanging on my tongue, the sight that greeted me knocked the air from my lungs.My best friend, sitting a few inches away from my fiancée. His palm rested on the side of her face, body angled toward her. The look on her face, surprised, she looked like her brain was yet to process anything. But she was not pulling away. She was not stopping him.“What—&r

ClaireWhat the hell just happened?My brain was frozen, my gaze fixed in one direction as I moved. I don't remember walking to the door, either, but somehow, I was already in the hallway, the sharp echo of their voices behind me growing muffled with each step I took.At one point, panic surged through my system at their loud voices. I feared people would hear two best friends arguing over a girl who barely had anything to her name.But then it was gone, replaced by shock again.The world felt distant, like I was moving through the ocean, my body weightless, my mind completely blank.I mean, a part of me knew what he showed me was more than casual. I knew he was harbouring feelings for me and that was why I avoided him. But for him to grow the balls and say it. In Giancarlo's presence.I reached my desk before I realized I had made it back to my side of the office. From the side of my vision

My heart almost leapt out of my throat but for my mouth that was holding it back. It all happened in the split of a second and I didn't even see it coming. One second, my hands were on the steering wheel, staring at the road but not really seeing it. I let Giancarlo occupy my mind too much and now I might be hanginging between life and death.Then a blaring horn and bright headlights cut through my thoughts a split second before the impact, giving my body a violent jolt. My body lurched forward, the seatbelt yanking me back just as my forehead crashed against the steering wheel. Pain sprouted instantly, sharp, but not unbearable.For a moment, everything went still. My breath came in laboured, short and shaky gasps. The scent of burnt rubber and something I couldn't quite place a name to, filled my nose.“Oh, shit…” My voice came out weak, barely audible over the ringing in my ears.“What the fuck is your problem!!? Are you freaking bling!? Do you want to get yourself killed?” I tur

Giancarlo I should've listened to my own words and not brought up anything connected to Enzo, but the jealousy brewing in my chest had a strong hold on me. “Huh?!” Her face drew up total confusion as her eyebrows raised and she stared at me underneath her eyelashes. “Enzo, do you have a thing for him? Like, do you have feelings for him?” “What makes you think I'd have anything for Enzo?” She asked instead, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I don't know. He's more easy going, funny, and relates well with other people.” I was shocked by the words that slipped out of my mouth. The last time I was this vulnerable and open about my feelings was with Sophia and that was years ago. This side of me resurfacing felt scarry. “Oh so you're agreeing you're an asshole.” She meant to whisper to herself, but my ears picked them up faster than the wind. “So I'm an asshole?” “What?” She pretended not to understand what I meant but the look on my face made her drop it. “You're n

I turned my head, and my blood froze and my body went still.It wasn’t the least bit who we were expecting. It wasn't Enzo. It was her.Sophia stood in the doorway, a sickening smile on her face as she stared from me to Claire. Her hands clutched her bag tightly and I couldn't. tell exactly what was getting her tight.“Sophia?” Her name barely made it past my lips, my mind in bafflement as I tried to piece together how the hell she got in.I did a quick glance towards where Claire stood and the expression on her face was almost unreadable but for one thing that was clear. Something that looked like a mixture of jealousy and anger.“How the—”Sophia let out a short, humorless laugh, pushing back the rest of the words into my throat as her eyes darted between me and Claire. “Wow,” she said, stepping further into the house like she had every right to be here. “So you weren't joking about this….”I exhaled, running a hand down my face. “What are you doing here?

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

Giancarlo.Since when? My pulse pounded hard, throat feeling as dry as charcoal and heart slicing the words into dices of anger and surprise.Was he perchance kidding me? My mind rotated in horrifying surprise, and my eyes dilated as I looked to the floor for answers.How could I have been so blind to not have noticed anything? I wondered deeply, hands moving to my chin in perfect posture.But then, he had barely shown anything to me and Elizabeth had not even been around.Or was she around all the while? Numerous thoughts ran through my mind as his words sunk deep into me, feeling very unwelcomed in my brain."Since when?" I managed to ask calmly, the warring thoughts in my head, buried suppressingly by my self-control but still struggling to raise the rock pressing it down.He turned to look at Claire who had frozen on her track while trying to head to the bathroom and smiled."It's been three weeks now," he replied in a calm tone too, hands clenching by his sides and eyes looking e

Giancarlo.Claire reeled forward almost falling, hands running fast to her knees to act as a tripod stand.I quickly held her back, aching with her from her sisters banging words. Perspiration dropped like trickles of rain down to my legs, feeling more cold than hot as she seemed to wish to haul herself violently to the floor.While I didn't see anything wrong with her, stating her view and turning the table on her mom, Elizabeth certainly saw a thousand things wrong with it and had not hesitated to set the matter straight.Claire began to gasp for breath by my side, falling a little forward to get more air and hands slipping and almost sending her to my the ground.Just as I held her back, she began to cough violently, tears streaming down her eyes and shoulder rising and falling in unison with her chest."Calm down, she'll come around," I tried to reassure her, pulling her up and closer to my chest and welcoming the vanilla scent from her hair. “Don't let her words get much to you.

Claire.I watched as his expression dropped from shock to horror, eyes widening more than they should and lips parted wide.It was seriously embarrassing to think that they had never connected things that far and that a civilian like me was the one rather blessed with the brains to dissolve the case.My heart thumped with a brief moment of joy as surprised danced in their expression, eyes mirroring their lost war and my victorious win.I had managed to change the situation into something useful, hadn't I? I smiled to myself, deep enough that it displayed itself on my face."Uhhm... I think we need to go," the man stuttered embarrassedly, face turning crimson and hands quickly pushing the phone back into his pocket.The lady tried not to meet my eyes and just followed behind in a rush, eyes somewhat bowed and focusing more on her shoes.Were cops supposed to behave like that? I wondered amusingly as they left with their battered pride.I smiled to myself again, giving myself a heartfel

Claire."I don't know, Claire. It seems you're complicating things," the female police seemed to be speaking through her nose as she had suddenly forgotten all formalities and allowed her rage, permanently sit on the surface. I almost burst in laughter with her squeezed red face that looked like she had just received a surprise triple punch on it."Does it really seem like it?" I teased, glowering as her face contorted the more, eyes shooting sharp swords at me and lips forming with a promise of a battering insult.The male cop shot her a calm but commanding glare that sent the insult in her lips back to the pit where they came from and helped fix her shitty face into an emotionless one."I think I've explained it in the best layman terms that exist. If it seems complicated to you, maybe, just maybe it's difficult for you comprehend, not that what I said is complicated," I concluded sweetly, all smiles and little regret dancing melodiously in my heart.Carlo moved into the picture, w
