Clara's Pov

Elena sprinted toward Adrian with excitement written all over her face, and her hands spread wide.

They held each other in an embrace.

This prompted the shocked reaction of the people in the hall, mine included.

I'd thought they would hide their shameless acts when they were in the midst of people who knew my relationship with Adrian–that I was his wife. But, I'd expected highly of them.

I clenched my fists by my side and approached the love struck couple who couldn't seem to l

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 134 - Deadly Deadlines

    Author's povHe sat on his magnified seat and threw a vase across the room causing it to shatter and making everyone in the room freeze. He sucked in the cigarette for a few seconds and blew the smoke out, he repeated for a couple more times, causing the room to feel choked but still, no one could breathe a word or make a reaction. Except they wanted to meet their maker. Silas sat on the chair opposite him, his body shaking from extreme fear but he couldn't say a word. No one could. Not even the privileged son of the Hollingsworth company. "Y'all are a bunch of mistakes!" He yelled, shoving the half full bottle of liquor to the ground. The pieces scattered everywhere, some of the men who stood close to him were hurt by the pieces of shattered glass but neither of them moved. Silas's lips quivered and his hands shivered as he tried to speak. He thought carefully about his choice of words but no matter how long he thought, nothing seemed perfect to say. Still, he had to say somet

    Clara's Pov "Then what is it about?" She asked me, concern written all over her face. "It's... I just want Leo to see beyond this country. Plus, the company agreed to sponsor the both of us regardless of the cost." "That's great then." She replied with a shrug and constant smile like I didn't just tell her I wouldn't bring my son to her again. As we sat there in silence for the next few minutes, I felt like the ground should open and swallow me. Shame clawed at my insides, mocking me for half lying to my friend. Cassie felt the tension as well, I could tell because she was taking calculated sips from the cup and shifting her gaze to the paintings on the wall. The silence was deafening, I picked the remote and turned on the television. With a smile, I turned to Cassie. "Would you like a tour of the house?" It was her first time being here after all, so it wouldn't be a bad idea. Her face lit up almost immediately. "Are you for real? I would love a tour." She replied lightly and

  • 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

    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

I didn't want to look into her face after what she'd done to the old man. "So, uhm. I heard the doctors don't know when he's going to wake up?" He asked again
