My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter! Ch 091: An Unexpected Guest
CHAPTER NINETY-ONE: AN UNEXPECTED GUESTALEX—-----“Home sweet home,” Camille sing-sang as she parked in front of Christian’s house.I didn’t move, or unbuckle, or reach for the door. I just stared out the window like she wasn’t speaking to me at all.She noticed and let out a short, amused breath. “Seriously? Don’t tell me you’re about to start acting like a child just because I drove you home. Alex, we’ve practically been hanging out together all day since you got discharged…”“So you’re tired of me already?” I turned to her, lifting a brow. I wore the most dramatic wounded expression I could manage, silently hoping she would buy it. “Guess that explains why you keep trying to dump me every chance you get.”“You’re insane, Alex,” she laughed. “Which is hilarious coming from the same man who spends his entire day lazing in my hospital office.”“Ugh.” I groaned, hating that she’s so damn perceptive. She’s impossible to manipulate. And she’s right; I’d turned into her shadow ever si
My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter! Ch 090: A Mask of Doom
CHAPTER NINETY: A MASK OF DOOMZOEY———“Uh… you can let go now. I’m fine.” I swallowed, my eyes fixed on his face, searching his features like I could find a memory hidden somewhere between the shadows of that cap and mask. His hold felt unsettlingly familiar. Like a freaking déjà vu I couldn't place.But he didn’t let go, yet. He kept his arms around me, silent, eyes locked on mine as if he was trying to read my soul. The longer he stared, the colder my stomach twisted. Goosebumps rose along my arms. Not from his touch, but from the creeping certainty that I’d felt this before.Just as I parted my lips to repeat myself, he spoke first.“Sorry about that,” he said through the mask, easing his grip and helping me find balance. He dipped his head. “Forgive me. I was… lost in your eyes.”I blinked. Lost in my eyes? “You have beautiful eyes,” he added.My frown deepened. Not because of the compliment, but because of his voice. Even muffled, it carried a familiar cadence.My mind rus
My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter! Ch 089: The Surprise
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE: THE SURPRISE ZOEY———“You did WHAT?!”My cereal nearly sprayed across the room. I choked and stared at Christian after he’d just told me he resigned from the production house.I mean, sure, I was always aware of his master plan to stop Scarlett from framing him and stealing the company. But quitting? That definitely wasn’t on my expectation list. Not one fucking bit. “Don’t panic. I planned to leave anyway,” he said casually, then moved, swiping the bowl from my hands and flopping onto the couch where I had just been sitting. He shoveled a spoonful into his mouth. “Ugh, yes. I’m starving as fuck. I could eat a horse right now.”I just gaped at him, unable to believe he’d just treated a career-ending disaster like a minor inconvenience. I was the impulsive one, not him. He shouldn’t be doing this.“I won’t let you do this.” I marched over and snatched the bowl back.He looked up, cheeks full of milk and grain.“You worked your ass off for years to build that pla
My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter! Ch 088: The Executive Meeting Pt2
CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT: THE EXECUTIVE MEETING PT2CHRISTIAN———I didn’t miss the flicker of confusion that crossed Scarlett’s and Chuck’s faces when the door swung open and Kelsey, Ivory, and Kenny walked in. Kenny was carrying a black briefcase. The three of them bowed their heads slightly before the board.The executives exchanged puzzled glances and murmured among themselves. I stayed still, and relaxed, enjoying the storm the trio were about to unleash. “Kelsey,” I instructed coolly, “show everyone what you showed me earlier.”She nodded once. Kenny set the briefcase on the table and flipped it open. Kelsey reached in and pulled out a file. A soft rustle filled the room as she removed a stack of photographs.“Ms. Reginald and Mr. Gilbert have accused Mr. Gallo of sexually assaulting his employees, coercing them, and threatening to fire them if they refused,” she said clearly. “But what we have here tells a very different story.”I smirked faintly, watching her move around the tabl

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN: The Executive MeetingCHRISTIAN———The board-room went silent the moment I walked in. Every head turned. I took my time, taking long unhurried strides. My eyes locked with Scarlett’s across the table. She was seated at the far head, her expression flat as she watched me coolly. A few seats over, Chuck (or rather, the fake Chuck) glared; the anger in his face was obvious. He was never good with keeping his emotions under regulation, anyway.I snorted inwardly. Bloody cowards. They were all mouths before I came in, now they’ve all gone silent.I settled into the head chair, crossing one leg over the other. My arms rested on the armrests of the recliner. I looked around calculatedly.“I was notified of an urgent board meeting,” I said, letting my voice cut through the hush. I studied their faces, one by one. Many of them won’t meet my gaze. “What’s this about?”They whispered among themselves. Scarlett beckoned her assistant over without taking her eyes off me. Th
My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter! Ch 086: Welcome Back Home
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX: WELCOME BACK HOMEZOEY———The week sped by like a bullet train, and before I knew it, we were walking into Christian’s house with a recovering Riley and Alex. Christian wheeled Riley through the doorway while Camille supported a limping Alex, her arm looped around his solid back. She’d been practically living at the hospital with us since the surgery, and had tagged along today after their discharge.And in case you missed the memo, yes—the surgery was a success.Francesca had outdone herself, decorating the foyer with a giant Welcome Home banner.“Riley!” Livvy squealed, abandoning Francesca’s side the second she spotted us. Arms wide, she ran over and threw herself at her twin sister.Riley hugged her back, happily. “I missed you so much, Livvy! I thought I’d never see you again.”Livvy pulled away and immediately started inspecting her sister like a tiny doctor. “How do you feel now? Are you better? Do you still hurt? Were the doctors nice to you?”“That’s eno
