Adrian

Sitting 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.

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 132 - Second eyes

    Clara's Pov We switched poses; peace signs, funny faces, Leo lifted his toys like trophies, while I crouched beside him with exaggerated expressions. At some point, Leo insisted I carry him, and I did, spinning slightly as the camera clicked.For a moment, nothing else existed, except me and my son.When they were done, I thanked the stranger and took my phone back, glancing at the photos briefly. My lips curved into a soft, genuine smile.They were perfect.“Let’s go, champ,” I said, taking Leo’s hand.After checking out, they made their way out of the mall, bags in hand. The automatic doors slid open, letting in the warm air from outside.And almost immediately, the eerie feeling returned.My steps slowed. That same unsettling sensation from earlier crept back, wrapping around my chest like an invisible grip. My fingers tightened slightly around Leo’s hand.I tried to brush it off, tried to convince myself it was nothing but instinct told me otherwise.My gaze shifted, almost invo

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 131 - Eerie

    Author's povThe meeting stretched on for a while before it finally came to an end. Chairs scraped lightly against the floor as everyone began to stand.Adrian picked up his file and walked out with the others.Just as he stepped past her, his shoulder brushed lightly against Clara’s. The contact was brief but it sent a reaction through him he wasn’t ready for.Still, he didn’t stop. He didn't bother to turn to see her face or give a reaction, desiring the fact that he felt a strong pull to. He maintained his calm stride out of the Hall. As he got to the reception, Ron called from behind. Walking fast to meet up with him. He stopped to wait for Ron who caught his breath for a few seconds before speaking up. "I wanted to talk to you about something but you seem to be in a hurry." Ron breathed hard as he tried to catch his breath. "Is it important or is this one of your ways to keep me with you once again?" Adrian asked nonchalantly. "It's important, just wanted to ask how you feel

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 130 - Letting out the little secret

    AdrianWalking out of the company, my thoughts were everywhere. It was hard to tell from the way Julian was acting if Clara was really going or if he was going to manipulate her into staying back. From the way he spoke at the company, he sounded like he had a lot of authority over her and could control her the way he wanted and I didn't like that. The only person who should have such a control over Clara was me. Her husband. Not some random dude who came from nowhere and claims he knows her better than I do. I wanted to go see her at her office and ask her myself if what I suspected was true but I couldn't go. I'd always pushed myself towards her since her return and it felt like everything she did, every decision she made, she made because I influenced it. I already had conversations with her when she let me come close to Leo and herself and I'd seen the look in her eyes a couple of times. I know she doesn't have feelings for Julian or want anything with him but she doesn't want

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 129 - Renegotiating

    Clara's POVJulian was dumbfounded most of the time while I made myself comfortable and settled into my seat. With my back pressed against the chair, I asked casually. "Why did you leave the house early? Where did you go?" It took him minutes to process what I'd asked before he replied. "I went to sort some things out." I drew a pout and glanced with curiosity. "Was it something serious? Why didn't you tell me about it? Maybe we could sort it out together?" He shook his head. "It's not something we can sort together. I had to handle it myself." I nodded thoughtfully and shifted my attention to other matters waiting for me in the form of files and papers on my desk. And for a few seconds, I thought he was going to walk out of my office on his own seeing that I had other pressing matters to attend to. But he spoke after a few seconds of silence. "So, what's your conclusion? Are you going for the trip?" He asked, making me pause and hold back the eye roll that almost slipped from

    Author's POV"You know what to do if you want her to come on your little trip with you." Julian replied after finding his voice and walked out of the Hall before anyone could say a word. The board members shifted their gazes to Adrian, their faces were covered with inquisitive expressions. The exchange between Adrian and Julian didn't feel natural at all and Julian particularly mentioned Clara being alone with Adrian. "Is there something you would like to tell us?" They asked Adrian once he was settled but he looked at them with a clueless expression and raised his shoulders. "Are you sure there's nothing you want to tell us? It seemed like the man had a personal grudge against you." Another member of the board asked, clearly sure of what he had seen but Adrian didn't reply to their questions. "I came here on my own to demand an explanation for what you all pulled at the get together event yesterday." He started, changing the topic casually as though he didn't just exchange words

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 127 - Demand must be met

    Author's pov"Is there a problem Mr. Julian?" One of the board members who stepped in not long asked with concern written all over his face as he looked at the man who looked like he barely survived a haunted night. "I'm fine." Julian replied bluntly, each word was ennunciated so it stuck in their brains. "I just want to know what the meaning of the list that was released yesterday was." Again, silence filled the Hall as the men exchanged glances at themselves. The member who hadn't spoken before chipped in the most polite voice he could muster. "Mr. Julian, we understand your concern and confusion about the issue and we assure you, you are not the only person who has asked questions concerning the list of names, that is why we intend to release an official statement concerning that.""Was a secret meeting held behind our backs to select the people whose names were called yesterday?" Julian asked, ignoring the man's words. Again, they exchanged glances. Julian saw that but ignored

    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
