My eyes dimmed and my lashes dropped as I stared at the two of them. My facial expressions blanked as Claire whispered behind me. I turned my gaze towards Enzo with a raised eyebrow and he had a stupid smile on his face.

“Is this a prank?” I asked Enzo as Claire and I closed the distance between us.

“Good evening, Mr Caruso.” They both greeted almost in unison, but I was too caught up in my glare with Enzo to give them a reply.

“What are they doing here?” Claire asked this time as she glared at both Alex and Victoria.

“Well, that's not a good way to ask how my flight was.” Enzo said, earning a flare from me.

“Why are they with you?” I asked again, the hand I had gently paced around Claire's waist, tightening on instinct.

“You asked me to pick two best staff on the team. Well, I present to you Alexander Carter and Victoria Lane.”

From his facial expression, it was almost like he was enjoying the whole thing. With a single nudge of my head, I quietly requested his presence

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 175

    Claire.Something was nagging hard in me as I heard no voice in the sitting room making my heart jump from time to time with the wheel of love.Normally, Dora and Nora would have been giglling with their playful six-year old voices that usually added more butterflies to my belly in happiness and made my heart soften every single minute; softening the hardening caused by the many betrayals I had passed through.How had things flown to this extent? I wondered, my heart wallowing in sweetness, allowing the gentle memories of the past years to pat my cheeks gently.I could remember that there sincerely was a time when I felt Carlo and I were going to remain lonely forever and make no other friend.Little did we know that the universe had something better for us, smearing our bitter bread with sweet marshmallow cream.With the girls, there was absolutely no or little chance for a lonely time. We were always laughing and in a joyous mood, having no time for sadness nor tears.Maybe coz we h

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 174

    Giancarlo.Claire's insistence on an exchange of vows while she was in the hospital bed, came as a surprise to me. "What about witnesses," I had asked and she had replied gayly, eyes as bright as the stars, sparkling with much happiness. "We do not need too much witnesses. Just a priest, few of the hospital staff can stand as witnesses too,” her voice been bright too with the thought of marriage, warming my heart too and keeping me bound by love in the relationship."What of your parents and my grandpa?" I had gone on to ask, a bit sceptical that this might not be what she wanted not because I didn't want to marry her as much as she wanted but because I was just scared that she might regret choosing a small wedding to a bigger one and more prominent one."Haven't you learnt enough lesson?” She had howled angrily at me, eyes losing their cool and falling hard into fits of anger that I kinda missed during the two months she had been in a coma.“Did putting them through about our marria

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 173

    Claire.What? My chest hung on the shock as the words sunk into my brain and made my head bang hard with the ridiculous words.What did I just hear? Grandpa pay for which sins? My chest thumped with the question and I juta couldn't wrap my head around the words.Confusion nutted its slimy nut inside my chest and made it beat faster in shock, the rhythm flowing melodiously through my skin and into my blood stream.Was this real? I questioned reality again, my ribcage hanging mercilessly on as I looked to the unknown gentleman who was still chatting on with Carlo.What ever else he had to say did not matter but, grandpa? He must surely have gotten it wrong. How could that ever happen? Nothing could make sense that way. Grandpa was one of the morality right men I had ever known. He was one of the best father figures I ever knew. How could that even take place? Was he mad?Surely, he must have used the wrong reflexive pronoun coz how the fuck could Carlo's grandpa pay for his sins in the

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 172

    Claire.I had no idea how I managed to wake and find myself in the hospital awake, tubes connected to virtually all parts of my body and the very beeping sound that had been my giant fear, beeping loudly and in a promising non-stop fashion.It went deep into my brain and fogged it with myriad of pains that made seeing very tasking and difficult for me, sending chasms if pain from my eye to my brain.However, I still managed to keep my eyes open, staring around to check what was really going on and why I was strapped on the bed like a caged bird.I looked to my left fir answers as my right showed tubes and the beeping machine that wouldn’t just stop in its noise. Carlo was lovingly by my side, sitting dejectedly on the chair beside my bed his outlook rough and unkempt, seeming like he was going through a lot.The connecting tubes that were positioned all over my body did not even give me a chance to see him well nor speak to him, however much I wanted to speak with him and hear his mas

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 171

    Giancarlo.I was so quick to notice the sudden change in her demeanor; from tired to alert and fight and flight mode.Her color suddenly went from pale and a bit red to extreme whiteness that looked like she had just seen a ghost. It snapped something protecting in me and made me want to find a solution for her at once and put an end to whatever must have been troubling her."Are you okay?" I asked immediately, my chest knotting together with the fear she was feeling and my brain running Helter skelter to find a way to save her and make her feel better.Why was she so afraid? I wondered, the thought searing my heart and rumbling my stomach as nothing useful and convincing cane to my mouth. Was there perhaps something connected to the beeping sound? I wondered as the loud piercing sound seemed to be blaring like a horn in my ear, trying to burst my ear drum and render me forever deaf.Was there some untold story behind it? I kept asking myself as the sound went on, threatening to mur

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 170

    Claire.What was I even going to tell him? I pondered hard, biting my finger nails nervously in thought, my heart racing galloping faster than a horse.Where could I ever begin from? My brooding grew more restless as I kept thinking and thinking, not coming to any certain conclusion.He didn't even know about Theodore and all what he had done, I was sure of it. Just as nice as I had always been, I had refused to tell him, so that a full-fledged war wouldn't begin just because of me.I had buried everything in my mind and scarcely thought about it, except the moment when the trauma was too unbearable to overlook and just wish away.And the more i gained control over that particular day, the more I didn't want to tell anyone, hoping that he wouldn't try it again and turn a new leaf.Never had I expected for him to return after Carlo must have gotten rid of him in that manner. Whatever manner it had been, I had no idea. All I knew was that when I woke up, he wasn't around again and ever
