Clara

My dress was delivered sooner than I expected and it was everything I wanted. Perfect to make a statement when I walk into the Hall.

I made arrangements for Leo to come along since there was no other option.

Julian tried to make a conversation a few times but I avoided him like I was avoiding a plague.

The whole arrangement happened too fast and behind my back. He needed to feel the weight of his decision.

We arrived New York early and even had the time to see some places.

I wanted t

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 128 - Past best friend

    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

  • THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST   Chapter 126 - Mental reasoning

    Author's POV Not being able to sleep was an understatement for Julian the previous night. After Clara left him to her room, he was left with all the thoughts in his head; thoughts he'd tried to suppress and even think about some other way so as to calm his already provoked mind. But the only way that could have worked was talking it out with Clara and getting assured by her that something of such wasn't going to happen and she wasn't going to walk away. He was destabilized throughout the night, up the whole time thinking about the new issue on ground. He wondered why he wasn't in the list of people who were going on the trip and wondered even more why they didn't call a meeting to discuss matters like that before saying it on air to everyone's surprise. Or maybe he was the only one taken by surprise. Maybe Adrian knew about it all along. He tried to picture Adrian's face and what he looked like after the names were called but it was faint in his head. The only person his attentio

  • 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
