เข้าสู่ระบบChapter 27Ethan's POV “Baby, this is a risky move. We can't afford to do it.” Selena raised her voice slightly. My eyes ignored the urge to take a glimpse at her. Instead, I let my gaze falter over the large, transparent window separating my office from the city. Selena was sitting in my chair in a short, slutty, red dress that barely covered her body. “I know but what would you have me do,” I grunted. “Christopher wants to take his revenge on her personally, I can't refuse that.” I added, swallowing hard. Her image floated in my head like an unwanted pest. The freckles on her face, her big, innocent eyes that would do anything but stick to their place. Selena grunted a response under her breath but I didn't care. I cracked my fingers against each other, dwelling in the thoughts of bringing Piper back to my life. .“That stubborn bitch! She just can't leave our lives, can she?” Selena clicked her teeth in frustration. We were both riled up because there was just too much at st
Chapter 26Piper's POV “Are you really not going to say anything to me?” Mr Langford’s voice seeped through the heavy silence in the car. For a second, I almost turned my eyes to look at him but I forced my head to remain stuck to the window. We were in a Lamborghini, one of the cars Ethan would never have allowed me to go near in his house. Not even if I was dying.My ex-husband would go into cardiac arrest, lose his head, and turn into a raging animal if he ever saw me near any of his luxurious cars. But here was a total stranger, reaching for me in his car. The air conditioning in the car swayed against my skin, making me snuggle closer to my sweater, pulling further away from Jace. I hated being in that position but I just couldn't help it. Ruby's face was flashing in my head like a police siren. The burning glare on her face made my skin crawl with fear. My mind was far gone into the distance. Something about her actions reminded me of Selena. The woman who ruined my marria
Chapter 25Piper's POV“This is the board room.” Ruby's voice finally broke through the thick air of silence between us. Her brown eyes sharply cut through my gaze as she pushed a huge, transparent glass door open. The burning glare on her face almost burned through my skin….if it could. “Uhm…yeah…thank you….” I stuttered, clinging at the sleeve of my sweater as I walked in. The walk from my office down to this place had to be the longest walk of my life. Ruby kept muttering cuss words under her breath. A strong, sweet scent flushed across my nose as soon as I stepped into the board room. Two long lines of chairs and a long table stretched from the beginning of the room. As I glanced around the room, the memories of Ethan in his board room washed up in my head. Every single thing about his meeting days replayed in my head, often because I admired him the most on those days. The sharp line of his trouser gators, the crispiness of his well ironed tuxedo, his smooth, yet contrasting
Piper povBy the time we arrived at the company, one of the doormen grabbed the bags from the car, “Take those to her office.” He said to them as we all made it towards my office when Ruby appeared.“Mr Langford, you’ve returned.” She started with a smug look on her face. She darted her eyes at the shopping bags, “Is this what took you all so long?” With a single finger, she pulled one of the bags slightly open and peeped inside, then she raised her gaze to me, and ran her eyes through me with a look of disgust on her face. She then turned to Jace, “Mr Langford, you took her shopping?”“And what gives you the right to question me like that?” Jace said to her with an expressionless face as he gestured to the man with the bags where he could drop them.Ruby chuckled, very uncomfortable, “Sorry, sir, I’m just surprised to see this, it just had to be at lunch time.”He glared at her, “Did you do what I delegated you to do?” “Yes, of course, sir.” She hurried to the other side of the desk
Piper pov After picking out just a few items, I felt a mad need, and I was assisted by one of the employees at the store, who gathered them all and took them to the counter, where I paid for them all with the platinum card. I knew Jace was a billionaire which meant the platinum card would be filled with a whole lot of money but I wasn’t certain about how much money the card held in it, aside from that, the items sold at the store were pretty and all that but at the same time, they were very pricey. Everything I picked out, amounted to about six thousand dollars. I was very surprised, I didn’t mean to spend all that money on … literally nothing. He gathered the bags for, me and we headed towards J,ace where he was seated. by the time we got there, he was scrolling through his phone, one arm spread across the shoulder of the bench and his legs was crossed over each other, he looked up at me with his brows raised, a facial reaction on his face which I would read as surprise, “Are you
Piper pov“Shopping,” my eyes grew wide in shock, whi, le I was super surprised at why he said, maybe he meant we were going shopping for him, although this was a very odd hour to be shopping. We had barely forty-five minutes allocated for lunch and he wanted to shop?“Yes, we’re going shopping. I want us to have dinner at a restaurant later this evening. I’ve already made reservations, and everything should already be taken care of even before we get there. All that’s left is for us to actually go there and enjoy what’s waiting for us.”“Sir —“ I turned to him, I could already guess what Jace’s taste was and even when he casually mentioned a restaurant, I just knew how much taste he would have in dealings similar to this and I could definitely not afford such or was he going to let me sit maybe, and just … watch him while he eats or would I have to stand by his side like an assistant with his bag in my grip while he eats—“Piper.” He called out, interrupting my trail of thoughts, “
PIPER'S POVIt's been weeks since Ethan kicked me out, and not even a word have I heard from him, nor have I seen him around, nor has he replied to the mockery and insensitive comments I was getting from the media.At the same time, it's been quite a while since I met Mr. Mysterious, and we still h
Piper's povWhen I woke up, I squinted at the brightness of the room. I tried to get up but my entire body ached. I let out a soft groan and gently laid back on the bed. My eyeballs perching from one corner to the other, I scanned the room, I was the only one in there. With my gaze resting on the m

Anna asked with her gaze on the permit Mr. Langford's Secretary handed to me earlier today."Apparently.", I replied nervously biting my fingers."Do you think that's a great idea?"
