Author's POV

Adrian stayed there minutes after the officer walked out of his office.

He felt insulted and dismissed without regard.

The DPO who handled the case for him was transferred to a different country but while the new officer resumed work, he made sure to pay him a visit and explain the case to him which the officer seemed to be updated about and assured him everything was under control and was going to be handled the way the previous officer would handle it.

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   chapter 116 - Disappointed

    ClaraI had no idea how to tell Adrian to stop talking about Elena. Few hours before he came to my office, Julian stepped in holding a paper gift bag. I wanted to ask him what he was doing in my office but when I saw the gift bag, I knew already that he was there to patronize me. "How are you doing this beautiful morning darling?" He asked with a smile and I fought hard not to roll my eyes at him. "Don't you have an office to run Julian? Why are you not in the office?" I asked instead, trying to control the irritation that crossed my face. "I wanted to bring you a little something to show you how much I appreciate you." He held out the gift bag and placed it on my table. I'd told him before that gifting me wasn't the way. I had no feelings for him and showing me gifts everyday wouldn't fix my feelings especially since he conived with the mafia boss to pass a stern warning across. He probably thought what I said was just my feelings alone but I meant every word I said. I will n

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   chapter 115 - Unnerving

    AdrianMy meeting with Elena and the DPO stuck in my mind. I was trying to figure out what was going on. The reason why the officer refused to take the case seriously. When a call came into my phone. It was from Silas. I paused when I saw the call, wondering why Silas was calling me. I was supposed to call him if I bought his offer. I picked the call regardless and waited for him to speak first. "Hello nephew," Silas's voice spoke from the other side. He sounded like he was on something. "Have you thought about the offer? There is no more time." He continued. I almost scoffed at his words. He must think I was a joke or a pushover who would do anything he was told out of fear. "I'm not signing any offer with you." I replied bluntly and he gave a slight chuckle. "Are you sure you thought your answer through?" He was not going to back down easily. "I'm sure you've seen Elena. She's out of prison now and she'll constantly show up in front of you to frustrate you...""Then, I'll fi

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 114 - Audience

    Clara's Pov "Boss, someone is waiting to see you." My PA informed me as I sat behind the desk in my office. "Who is it?""She didn't say and I couldn't see her face either." She replied casually but that sounded so alarming in my ears. I looked up from my computer and paused for a few seconds. "Shr didn't say her name?" I asked again and my PA nodded in confirmation. "Tell her I don't see people with no names and she has to verify her face as well." She nodded and stepped out of my office. As much as I knew I was loved, I was also aware that I was a potential target for a lot of people. And I had enemies even though it didn't seem like that from the outside and flashy cameras. Coupled with the warning I received from the Mafia boss the other week. I had to be extremely careful with the people I let into my space. My PA returned after some minutes, holding her iPad. "She has refused to say her name but she showed her face." I gave a shrug. "How's that going to help anybody?

    Author's POVAdrian stayed there minutes after the officer walked out of his office. He felt insulted and dismissed without regard. The DPO who handled the case for him was transferred to a different country but while the new officer resumed work, he made sure to pay him a visit and explain the case to him which the officer seemed to be updated about and assured him everything was under control and was going to be handled the way the previous officer would handle it. But hearing the words from his mouth now, Adrian didn't know what to think. Something about the way the officer dismissed the issue made him suspect something was wrong somewhere. Even if he had to empty the cells for murderers, he could have left the option open to put her back in jail if they had more space. But he closed the case instead. He wasn't there when they found the body everyone thought was his wife. They weren't there when Elena confessed to what she did; conniving with his uncle to demoralize him. Adri

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 112 - Wasted efforts

    AdrianInstead of going to a corner with Elena to hear what she had to say, I called Clem aside. "What's the meaning of this?" I whispered but the stress in my voice was palpable. Clem shook her head and made a "I don't know" gesture with her hands and shoulders, cocking her head to the side. I exhaled, placing my hands on both sides of my waist. This was very wrong. Elena wasn't supposed to be out for the next six years yet she walked freely to my company and no police accompanied her. They didn't come looking for a missing prisoner either. I brought out my phone to call the DPO who answered more calm than I expected. "Do you have any idea what's going on here?" I asked, my voice was unable to hide the displeasure I felt. "Over there? No. The only place I'm required to have info about is the police station." He replied, his calm tone icked me. "Well, maybe you should know about a prisoner who is roaming free and even visiting old acquaintances like it's the normal thing to d

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 111 - Unexpected Return

    Adrian"She doesn't want me around anymore and I don't think I want to push it." I told the old man when I went to visit them. He'd encouraged me to go for her with everything I had and I did. I almost got her friendship back but she didn't like that. She didn't want me close to her. "Are you sure that's what you want to do?" He asked. "I'm certain." "You can do whatever you want if you're okay with it." He replied simply. I felt relieved he didn't try to persuade me. While speaking with Clara, I noticed she was trying to push me away. She was scared of something that she didn't want to talk about so I decided not to push further and let her do what she wanted. "Thank you." I greeted and turned around to leave when I remembered something that happened that I hadn't told him yet. "There is one more thing." I tilted my head. "Silas came to see me last week." The old man's face barely had an expression but his eyes, there was a glint of something in his eyes I couldn't read. He
