The elevator door dinged as it slowly opened showing the face of Elysia with two bodyguards at her right and left, whose heights boasted a minimum of six feet.

It was already some minutes past ten but one thing changed– the way she ran to work whenever she was late.

She held the black Louis Vuitton bag that matched with the black suit and palazzo she wore.

Her stilettos were not any different either.

“Wait here,” she muttered under her breath, briefly turning to the two men who nodded. “I'll be back.”

As she walked towards a particular office, people bowed slightly with greetings that she returned with a wave of her hand.

“Good morning Mr. Henderson,” her greeting was precise, and without waiting for him to return it, she brought out a plain paper, swiping it towards him.

“Names of the new recruits please,” she requested politely, turning her back towards him after he gave a slight nod. “And please, I need that before twelve o'clock.”

“I won't disappoint ma,” the man as

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN’T DESTROY    CHAPTER 161

    Seraphina pushed the door of the coffee shop open, standing at the entrance with a purse in her hand, and slowly she scanned the place, looking from table to table, only for a disappointed sigh to escape her lips. “Are you looking for someone ma'am?” One of the workers in the coffee shop approached Seraphina, bowing slightly with her eyes fixed in hers. With a slight nod, Seraphina responded, “yes.” "You can wait over there," she said to Seraphina, gesturing toward a chair in the far right corner of the shop, a professional smile curving her lips. “And while you are at it, what would you like ma'am?” Walking toward the chair the lady had pointed out earlier, she wore a pensive look, her lips pressed into a thin line.“A cup of ristretto please,” Seraphina announced, taking her seat close to the window, and the next thing she did was turn on her phone to see a message from Donovan that said: ‘I’ll be there in a jiffy,’ and on seeing that, she clicked her tongue, swiping to another

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN’T DESTROY    CHAPTER 160

    “I'm sorry that the meeting was postponed,” Orion cleared his throat in the meeting room, moving his gaze from one member of the board to the other, before he finally turned to Nessa who was at his side. The circular was shared already, so Orion turned back to them, pressing his lips with a thoughtful gaze, like there was something he was trying to keep, but without a doubt, he was going to say it, after all, that was why he fixed the meeting on that day, after postponing it time and time again. “There's no problem about that,” it was the legal officer among them, Mrs. Adams. sIt seemed like the silence was deafening, and to her, it was the only way she could break the silence— to bring Orion to continue from where he stopped. “Yeah,” it was another one of the board, smoothening the side of his hair with a precise motion. Orion motioned towards the paper that was placed at the front of each one of them.“You can open it now,’’ his voice was low, but the firmness in it could not

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN’T DESTROY    CHAPTER 159

    It had been three weeks since the incident at the hospital, and the boy had been discharged since he had returned to his perfect health. Although, the doctor advised them to bring him weekly for check-up, and Elysia never took that for granted. She had always gone there, along with Alina and Armin. Orion never came back after that, but Damon still appeared to be troubled as he sat on the chair with his hands beneath his jaw, and his gaze directed towards the door. He adjusted in his seat, licking his lower lips as he sat up, opening his laptop with a sigh that was anything apart from one that brought relief. “It is what it is,” he whispered under his breath, unlocking the laptop swiftly, with a precise motion. He let out another tired sigh as he saw the number of seminars left for him to attend in the few months that was left before the year ran out, and he pushed his hair backward, shutting his eyes for a brief moment. For a second, he looked at the frame of himself with Elysia

    Orion placed a hand on the car steering, his grip, tightening around it as he gazed outside the window, and in that second, everything from the hospital kept resurfacing in his head. Before that day, the sight of the stars was enough to give Orion the peace he was looking for, but that day all it did was remind him of the harsh reality that was looking him in the eye. “Are you going to come out?” Although the voice was more like muffled sound, it was enough to pull Orion out of his thoughts and he took his hand off his lip, turning to Elijah who placed a hand above the car. It was a black Mercedes sports car. “I don't know Elijah,” Orion replied, pushing his hair backward with a sharp inhale. “But if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's the fact that I don't want to stay where a lot of people are.” With a hand below his jaw, Elijah shrugged. “That's a valid one.” “Come to the other side Elijah,” Orion declared, pushing the door open, and without giving it second thoughts, he

    Orion rolled down his sleeves, biting his lower lips as his eyes remained on Elysia whose gaze followed Damon and the doctor till they got into the door– out of her vision. “Wh- what is happening, Elysia?” Orion stammered, slightly spreading his hand. “I'm lost… pl- please make me understand.” “Is that all you are thinking about right now?” She demanded, still speaking in her usual calm tone. “As you know, Armin is still in there, lying down, and all you can do is ask me questions about some biological shit,” she added, with her words tumbling out in a rush. After seeing that his blood was a match to that of Armin, he thought that was all he needed to solidify his claim as the boy's biological father, only for Damon to show up at a crucial moment like that, and funny enough, his blood was also a match. “Shit,” Orion let out a soft exhale, burying his face in his palms as he took his seat, staring at nothing in common. He was just seated there, hands clasped together, above his k

    Elysia blinked thrice in a single second, running a hand over her face, and it felt as though, the world started spinning right before her eyes. She let out a silent gasp, using the wall as a support to maintain her stance, and right at that moment, all it took Orion was a single glance at her before he took a step forward, stretching his hand forward. “I'll donate,” there was no such thing as doubt in his voice, neither could it be found in his eyes. “Then we are going to need to run a test sir,” the doctor who has brought the result spoke up, staring at Elysia like he was searching for the confirmation in her eyes— waiting for her to give him the go-ahead. Slowly, Elysia raised her gaze that was directed towards the floor, fixing it on Orion whose mind was made up already, then it moved to that of the Doctor whose eyes were still fixed on hers. All it took was a nod, and the doctor’s brows shot up. “Should we proceed?” “Please,” she gestured forward, pressing her lips into a t
