Adrian

I couldn't place where my feelings were at. Whether it was fear or shock, or wonder.

I sat on the sofa, my hand draped over its head while my free hand held up my jaw and I stared into the distance in thought.

The loud blaring of the police van cut through my thoughts and made me conscious of my surroundings.

I stepped out to meet them and answer the possible questions they had for me.

"Do you know these men?" Was the first question one of the officers asked me and I shook my head sl

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 125 - Uneasy

    Author's POVClara retired to her room for some peace and quiet but as much as she craved it, her mind didn't allow her to have some peace and quiet as all she could think of was the tough decision between herself and South Korea. After hearing the announcement, the first thought that came to mind was to ask the board members why her name was mentioned and what they were thinking including someone who already had businesses running in the country. But thinking about the opportunity from a wider perspective and with an open mind, she saw it as an opportunity to expand her company and learn from the Asians. They were also good with herbal medicine and she'd heard some rumors about regions like Jeollanam-do in South Korea, where people didn’t take medicines they almost had no need for medicines because they ate it everyday. Herbs were infused into their meals, brewed into their teas, and even shaped their daily routines. Their body was strong and protected from viruses and bacterias

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 124 - True to herself

    Author's POVAdrian's eyes remained on Clara, waiting to see if she would turn around to look at him. Even if it was a glance. But in that moment, all she wanted to do was walk out of the place and walk out she did. She found the nearest door by the side of the Hall and walked away from the prying eyes. As soon as she stepped out, Julian followed behind her, pulling her hand and making her turn back. "What happened in there?" He asked as though she was a part of the organizers or people who called the names on the list. "What are you talking about?" She asked, confused by his question. "What names were they calling? I heard them call your name. Is it for an award?" He asked again, feigning ignorance at what happened. Meanwhile, he'd heard everything while he was standing by the door. "I think it's the names of people who will be going on an international trip for the company. It's holding in South Korea." She explained casually. "I see. Did they make a mistake? I didn't hear

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 123 - Impromptu journey

    Author's povAdrian made his way back to the main Hall after being forced to watch Julian play with Leo who was still oblivious to what was going on. He'd been playing with friends before Julian arrived and when he did, he immediately switched with a smile. Adrian adjusted his tie as it felt so tight all of a sudden. The guests in the Hall raised glasses and toasted to something he didn't quite catch. The MC continued. "There will be a special announcement after the event so do well to stay back a few more minutes after the event and make sure not to drink to stupor so you don't miss out on the information that will be passed across."The crowd laughed at his words and continued sipping their drinks regardless. Adrian searched the crowd for Clara and he saw her speaking with some of the board members. He made his way to where she was. Waiting for an opportunity to speak to her after she finishes with them. Clara on the other hand noticed him first scanning the Hall and she knew h

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 122 - Arrangements

    AdrianClara resumed not showing up at work and instead, she emailed her constructive thoughts on the ideas she had for the company. I stayed in my lane while being vigilant. Julian also rarely showed his face at the office and when he did, it was to cover for Clara. Even when he saw me, he didn't try to have a conversation like the other times. He just ignored me and went his way. At first it was refreshing to see him minding his business. But then it became troubling to me why he didn't want to speak to me and why they were quiet that period. I went to the pack Leo and I often played at trying to see if they would visit like they used to. The first five days were a failure and the sixth day was no luck either. The more I waited for any move from them, the more nervous I got. They acted like they were cave people who retreated into their caves when the going gets tough or when they were challenged. I decided to wait until they came out by themselves this time around instead of

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   chapter 121 - The art of outsmarting

    Author's POVThe second Adrian left the office, Julian fetched his phone from his pocket and dialed his friend's number. The mafia boss was not having it. He was in no mood to talk on the phone. And so, Julian found himself driving to his house that afternoon. His bit on his lower lip nervously as he drove to his house, his fingers constantly tapped on the steering wheel and his mind was filled with thoughts. Different thoughts about what might have happened that got his friend in such a mood. Something so bad, Adrian smirked while talking about it. It was supposed to be a smooth operation. The boys were supposed to get Adrian the previous day and teach him a lesson this time for going against the warnings they had given him. Just a small lesson that might last for a few hours or days, depending on how he cooperated. But when he'd called to ask how it was going, he was told not to call as he would get a call from them when the job was done. So he went about his day, thinking may

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 120 - Not a pampered son

    AdrianSitting there, watching the old man do everything else, except actually have a conversation with me was another feeling entirely. Different thoughts crossed my mind. He'd never called me to have a discussion with him except the time he wanted to get to Clara through me. This was not like the other times. It felt like he was keeping something important from me. Like there was something I needed to know that he wasn't telling me. Something vital to me surviving the brotherhood attacks. But I sat there and watched him do his thing and speak when he felt like it. "You know she still likes you." He spoke out of the blue, when I least expected any word from him. My brows raised instinctively and I leaned forward in question. "Even though she's still mad at you, she's not too mad to feel something warm in her chest whenever you're close to her."I almost scoffed at his words, my mouth shaped in a scoff as I wondered where all of this was coming from and how he even knew about t

    AdrianBy the time Clem showed up, I'd already gulped down two cups of liquor. I was hoping it would burn the feelings that threatened to consume me but I still felt every emotion swirling inside me, clawing at my throat. Fighting to come out. I swallowed hard and turned myself another cup. "Wha

    Adrian"Excuse me?" She replied with a subtle smile. That kind you give someone who said something you didn't grab. "Uhmm, doctor, don't mind me." I smiled back, blinking nervously. I was surprised myself that I was acting so nervous in front of a woman. Even the toughest CEO's I had worked with

I stood outside the hall watching every single guest leave the hall, hoping to see her again and apologize for earlier. But I didn't even see her shadow. Not a glimpse of her. How would I go back to the old m
