Once Divorced, Twice Desired An Outsider
The crowd hastily moved back as she walked past. Zara had to hide her pain because of the eyes on her until she moved past them. Then she squatted to slowly massage her toe which had turned pink from pain. Just then, a familiar hand reached her toe before she could, gently massaging it. She looked sideways and there was Kendrick, squatting beside her and blowing cool air into her injury. Kendrick didn’t look up at first, focused on Zara’s injury. But then…His eyes flicked up, locking onto Ace’s just before the doors shut.Ace’s jaw tightened. Kendrick didn’t smirk. Didn’t gloat. He just held his gaze.Like a silent warning.Zara bit her lip to hold back the painful tears that filled her eyes as she watched Kendrick. She hissed under her breath, trying not to yelp as pain shot up her toe.Zara sucked in a sharp breath, her body jerking as a deep ache pulsed through her toe. She squeezed her eyes shut, fingers curling around Kendrick's shoulder. Kendrick stilled, retracting hi
Once Divorced, Twice Desired The Elevator
Zara’s hands trembled, her legs turned jelly and she had to quickly grab Kendrick’s car to regain her balance. “E–lla…how can you say that?” Zara gasped, barely able to believe the words coming out of her 7 year old. Ezra who was just standing a metre stared at his mom with quite ache lingering in his stares. Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Zara couldn’t breath…couldn’t speak. If anything, Ezra has always doted on her…and to see this much disappointment in his eye…it shattered her. “Ezra, it’s time for bed, let’s go in,” Nana tried to save her even though it was already too late. Ezra let out a sigh, turning to follow Ella who was already matching towards the house. Just then, Kendrick stepped out, “Hey, Champ!”Ezra stopped, quickly snapping his head back to the voice he barely recognized, “Uncle?” he chirped excitedly as he ran towards him, running towards him.Ella paused hearing Ezra’s voice. At first she was skeptical, because she already made up her mind about her
Once Divorced, Twice Desired Caught in the Act
The words wrapped around her like a chain, pulling tight, making it impossible to breathe.Her fingers twitched against the table, her body frozen in place.‘Say something.’ Her brain screamed at her, but no words came.Her mind spiralled.‘How? Since when? Why now?’This was Kendrick! Her ex-husband’s aloof uncle. Her new friend. And someone she would have to work with for the next year or longer. How was she supposed to process this? And yet…She had seen the way he looked at her tonight. The lingering glances. The softness in his voice.She felt this deep in her bones, but…even now it felt like a joke.‘No. No, this can’t be real.’Her stomach twisted as she realized something far, far worse…What if she had seen it and ignored it?Like the night he walked in on her touching herself…and his gaze lingered a little too long. She swallowed hard, forcing air into her lungs.This wasn’t love. It was something else. It had to be!Maybe care? Maybe admiration? Maybe—Kendrick tilted
Once Divorced, Twice Desired Confession
Zara stepped out of the car, her full length, pearl-embellished black dress shining under the beautiful dark sky. The dress was a high neck and she wore a pearl necklace that matched with her Slingback heels and purse.She wore a simple nude makeup that accentuated her high cheekbone. “Here is the pass card to the third floor. He is waiting for you there.” Peirce explained, handing out a card to her. “Thank you, Sir.” Zara said, politely taking the bag from the man who had driven her to the front of the five star restaurant. Pierce Avery was Kendrick's personal assistant. The one that had represented him at the auction earlier. Zara flashed a small smile at him before walking past him towards the restaurant. Upon showing the card, she was escorted into the private elevator by an employee. The third floor was a private floor, divided into 10 spacious rooms with glasses most times released for privacy. But surprisingly, only one space was occupied in the busy restaurant.And it w
Once Divorced, Twice Desired RSVP
Zara relaxed her back on her office chair, exhausted but still not able to take her mind off the unexpected interview. From her nervousness to the resourceful conversation they had, and to the last question the interview asked.She remembered the way her body reacted to Ace’s response and then Kendricks. With Ace, it was the initial thought of ending the two decades long rivalry within their families. But when Kendrick spoke, it sounded like the life she wanted to live post divorce. Independence.Zara let out a huge sigh knowing it’s going to be a lot harder doing this with two kids who deeply adored their father. Her mind went back to the forgotten RSVP and she quickly picked up her phone trying to investigate how she had unknowingly RSVP’d.She went through her message where the invite was sent to see if she had RSVP while she was sleepy, but to her surprise she couldn’t find the invite anywhere. Zara shifted in her chair confused and doubtful. ‘Did they forget about me and l
Once Divorced, Twice Desired A Way
“Wow, I think everyone is already anticipating this project as I am.” The host suggested after listening to their views on the project. Gina hissed, rolling her eyes at the display on her office television. Just as she was about to switch off the television, a question caught her attention. “Before we conclude, I just have one more question for Mr. Carter and Ms. Quinn,” He went on, “This is the first time your respective companies are working on a project together after the end of your partnership years ago. Do you see a future together after this project?” The whole room stilled as the tension simmered. Gina’s eyes widened as her gaze settled on Ace. But it was useless. He seemed so composed, unfazed and unnerved by the question which was already making Gina furious. Her eyes darted to Zara, and she could see the bridge of her nose twitch nervously. Her fingers clenched around the sofa.“Ending the partnership was a mutual agreement between the two parties. If they are ever g
