MELISSA’S POV

“Our opponents will try to argue that you acquired the land without much investigation, but make sure you stick with the facts. And don't deviate from the main points.” Mr. Giovanni chipped in.

His suggestion was brilliant, earning him applause from the team. I could see on the faces of our clients their increased trust in us. This really showed how brilliant Mr. Giovanni is and it made me want to learn more from him.

The courtroom was quiet and tense as soon as the jury settled on their seats. We were all waiting for him to signal us to commence.

Ever since I was called to the bar, today was my first day of being in an international court. What made me more excited was the fact that I was part of the debate and not just an observer.

The judge finally called the plaintiff to put their point across, Giovanni stood up and started briefing the jury about the issue at hand.

He skillfully presented our argument with detailed evidence and precision. Occasionally, I

  • Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife    Chapter 211

    MELISSA’S POVI stormed out of the police station like I was on fire.My heart wasn’t just racing, it was thundering against my ribcage. Giovanni’s voice trailed behind me like a siren as he consistently called my name, but I didn’t stop. “Melissa!” Giovanni called out. “Melissa, wait!”But I didn’t. I kept walking toward the roadside, tears blurring my vision as my fists clenched so tightly beside me. I could literature feel my nails piercing through my palms. Giovanni caught up with me, grabbing my wrist and spinning me around. “What the hell is going on? Why did you run out like that?”I stared at him as he asked, my chest heaving. “I’m going to Wendy’s house.”Giovanni blinked, confused. “What?”“I said I’m going to that bitch’s house!” I screamed, loud enough that a few pedestrians looked over. I didn’t care. “She tried to have me killed, Giovanni. She tried to kill me and Listowel!”He looked stunned, his eyes searching mine. “Melissa, are you sure? You just—”“I heard her!

  • Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife    Chapter 210

    MELISSA’S POVThe fluorescent lights in the police station shone brightly over our heads as the officers recorded our statements. I sat at the edge of the plastic chair, my hands trembling in my lap as the dried blood on my blouse began to itch. I couldn't wait to get home and wash it off. The officer in charge was currently threatening not to let the hitman receive any medical care until he talked. Even though I as a lawyer knew it was wrong of him to deny him of his basic right, I couldn't care less. He's a criminal and deserves to be treated as such. To stop more blood from oozing from his wound, they had bandaged his head with a piece of cloth. Giovanni sat beside me, his deadly gaze fixated on the hitman, irritated at him refusing to talk despite all persuasion. I turned to him. “Giovanni… how did you even know to come to my apartment tonight?”His gaze softened as he answered. “I was checking on you,” he said, rubbing his palms together, avoiding my eyes momentarily. “Leti

  • Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife    Chapter 209

    GIOVANNI’S POV A loud “puff” echoed through the garage as I hit the man’s head with the rod. My heart pounded heavily as the crimson liquid dripped down the rod onto the floor. The man fell to the ground, a scream tearing from his throat as he howled in pain. Melissa, who had her eyes tightly shut and had on a look of someone who was fearfully waiting to die, slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes opened wide with fear and shock as she saw the man who had wanted to injure her rather on the floor. “Melissa,” I said softly. “Giovanni?” she whispered, rushing to my side. “Is that you? What… what are you doing here?” The metal rod that I was holding fell from my hands onto the ground as Melissa tightly hugged me. “Are you okay?” I asked, gently patting her on the back. She sniffed and nodded before saying, “I’m fine. Thank you for saving me. I was so scared…” Her voice broke while her body trembled. Suddenly, she burst into tears. She clung to me tightly as she sobbed

  • Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife    Chapter 208

    MELISSA’S POV I sat in the back of the cab, tired and quiet. I had put one of my earbuds in, playing soft music to help me relax. I had just left the hospital and was on my way home. Before leaving, I confirmed with the doctors and nurses if Listowel would be fine without someone by his side. Even though my heart felt heavy as I left him, I needed some sleep for myself. Instead of relaxing, memories of the day of the accident kept flowing in. I could remember how he was drenched in blood as the paramedics pulled him out of the wretched car. How my heart bled and my stomach burned when I thought he wouldn't be able to survive. How much I panicked when Kevin revealed he had seen a suspicious man at the scene and suspects he knows something. The thought that someone intentionally crashed into the vehicle made me panick. All these feelings overwhelmed me, sending tears to my eyes. The taxi pulled into my apartment complex. I thanked the driver quietly before stepping ou

  • Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife    Chapter 207

    WENDY’S POV “Trust me. He is really exclusive. We will even be privileged if he accepts to work for us.” Emily responded. “Hmph… it better not be a similar case of the initial hitman.” I hissed. “You don't need to worry. I don't think I will get any peace either if we don't finish her of this time,” she assured. “Umm… so how? So how do we start?” I asked. “Do you have anywhere in particular you want it to take place? Her home? Office? In her car? If home should I let my person at Legalstone get me her address?” I scoffed and tossed my phone on the couch. What does it make me if I don't know the address of the one person I hate most? I mean that's the least of the things I should know about an enemy. Leaning my back against the counter, “She lives in one of those luxury estates at Crimson.” I answered. “Oh really? I understand why Listowel is so keen on being with her,” she remarked, earning her a side eye from me. She continued, “Is her family that rich? Who is he

  • Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife    Chapter 206

    EMILY’S POV“She’s alive, Emily! She is! That scumbag of a hitman lied to us! I knew he wasn't reliable when he was asking so many questions!” Wendy snapped as she violently threw the glass of water she was holding against the wall. After the hitman called to tell us he had completed the job last night, Wendy and I were celebrating with liquor when we both fell asleep. We woke up this morning to the breaking news that Listowel has been in an accident. I in particular was happy because it is the death of Listowel I wish for. Looking at how fatal the accident was, I doubt he will come back to life. Despite this information, Wendy still wanted to know about Melissa. Whether she died on the spot or was also taken to the hospital. It was because of her consistent winning that made me call the hitman again. Only for him to inform us that he lied to us last night and that Melissa wasn't in the car with Listowel.Personally, I wasn't bothered by that since it is Listowel I wanted to teach
