My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 14: The morning after
PaigeStanding on the balcony of Grandma’s residential home, sipping on the warm tea she woke up to see by her bedside, hoping it would numb the constant pounding in her head while she tried to recount her memories of what the fuck happened last night. It’s so weird that she can't seem to recollect anything reasonable or tangible, just some floaty flashes with Cedrica and Rain, aside from that, there is nothing. Paige was so lost in thought that she didn't hear when her room door opened and didn't notice the presence of Cedric entering the room until the latter had his hands wrapped around her bosom and head nuzzled in her hair. “Hi,” Cedric hummed, kissing her hair and ignoring the way Paige’s body tensed in his hold, “You should still be sleeping, why are you out here?”“My alarm woke me up, I couldn't go back to sleep again,” she explained and Cedric hummed in understanding, “What are you still doing here? You should be at the office,”“I took the day off.”“Cedric?”“Hmmm,”“W
My Ex-husband wants me back Chapter 15 - Just for tonight, let's pretend
PaigeIt was already dark outside when Paige woke up from her deep slumber again, she lay awake on the bed discombobulated by her environment before memories of earlier that morning came flooding her senses again. She glanced around the room and realized that she was in fact alone, did she dream that? Or did Cedric actually show up, hugging her and loving her the way he did? It was so confusing to Paige because there was nobody around to see, so he didn't need to go out of his way to do that. But he did, and Paige loved it and now she is confused if she was dreaming or it actually happened. She knew she wouldn't have answers by sulking on the bed, so she groaned as she pushed herself out of the bed, threw on a bathrobe that sat on the edge of the bed and folded neatly and Paige’s gaze lingered on the material wondering how it got there. “Urgh, this is why I hate taking afternoon naps, I barely remember anything after I wake,” she muttered to herself as she made her way to the kitc

Cedric sneered, "I heard you had many lovers while I was abroad. Don't they pay for you?""What?!" Paige yelled in response. She wasn't surprised that he reacted like this, Cedric has always been like this, cold, judging, and hateful of her."What? Did they lie?" Cedric snorted, "You don't have to pretend in my presence, I already knew that about you, I know what and who you are," Paige looked disgusted by the words that Cedric said to her and she opened her mouth to respond to him, to explain to him that some of those words that he said were true, that she hasn't been with anyone apart from him, since their wedding night, that she didn't even like to get touched, but she didn't,"How am I going to get paid the compensation money after signing the papers?" She asked instead, Cedric wouldn't believe

She just picked up the papers and skimmed through them.She looked up at Cedric in disgust, The paper folder was a contract, a very ridiculous contract and Paige was not having it. "I'm not interested in this contract offer!" She declared and left the office, which took Cedric by surprise once again.Why was she being so difficult, he thought?
