Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 19. Conflicting Desires
Caspian’s POVThe cold spray of the shower felt good against my skin, but it did little to wash away the turbulent thoughts in my head. Switzerland. Two days. With Avery.I reached for the expensive soap, the familiar scent of cedar and bergamot filling the steam. My mind, however, was replaying the scene in my office from yesterday. Her scent, the surprise in her eyes, the unexpected heat of her kiss. It was a powerful memory, and one that was completely out of place in my carefully constructed life.I scrubbed harder, trying to physically shake off the distraction. This trip was for business. For the next phase of the plan. It was about control, about solidifying my hold on the company, about moving closer to Hector’s complete downfall. It was not about... her.But a part of me, a small, unwelcome part, couldn't deny the flicker of anticipation. Spending the weekend with Avery, away from the office, away from the usual pressures. The idea was dangerously appealing. It was a stark c
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 18. An Unexpected Journey
Avery’s POVThe morning after the fight with Juliet and that intoxicating kiss with Caspian, I woke up feeling… disoriented. One minute I was furious about the shares, the next I was giggling like a schoolgirl remembering his lips. It was a messed-up emotional rollercoaster, and I desperately needed a break from the Woods’ household drama.I headed downstairs, still feeling a bit hazy, and found a thick envelope on the small table by the front door. It had the Sterling Enterprises logo stamped on it. My heart gave a little jump.I tore it open. Inside, it wasn't a bill or an announcement. It was a formal letter, addressed to me. My eyes scanned the words, and then I stopped."Emergency Company Trip to Switzerland."My jaw nearly dropped. Switzerland? Seriously?I read on, my gaze flying over the details. It was a high-priority meeting, crucial for the next phase of a major international project. A small, select team was needed. And my name was on the list.The letter explicitly stated

Avery’s POVI dragged myself home, the office kiss still a confusing swirl in my head. My mind was a mess of "what ifs" and "oh my gods." I just wanted to crash on the couch, forget about everything for a few hours, and pretend today hadn't happened.But as soon as I stepped through the front door, I knew my peace was a fantasy. Juliet was there, perched on the edge of the sofa, looking like she’d been waiting for me. Her arms were crossed, and her eyes were narrowed, sharp as daggers. Hector was nowhere to be seen, which was typical."Hmm… Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence," Juliet sneered, her voice dripping with fake sweetness that made my skin crawl.I sighed, dropping my bag by the door. I was too tired for this. "What do you want, Juliet? I'm not in the mood."She pushed herself up, slowly walking towards me, her heels clicking loudly on the tiled floor. "Oh, I'm sure you're not. Probably too busy canoodling with your new boss."My stomach clenched. So, she
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 16. Shifting Focus
Caspian’s POVThe buzz of the intercom had yanked me back to reality, but even as Avery rushed out of my office, the taste of her kiss lingered. My two o’clock meeting. Right. Business. The world outside that bubble we’d just been in.I ran a hand over my face, trying to clear my head. My heart was still hammering, a drumbeat against my ribs. This was not part of the plan. This was… a complication I hadn't prepared for. A very, very distracting complication.My phone chimed with a reminder for the Tokyo call. I glanced at it, then back at the empty doorway where Avery had just disappeared. Tokyo. My new investments. The next steps in taking down Hector. It all suddenly felt… less important.I picked up the phone, not to make the call, but to hit a button. “Xavier,” I said, my voice rougher than I intended. “Cancel the Tokyo meeting. I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.”There was a beat of silence on the other end. Xavier rarely questioned me. “Sir? Are you sure, sir? The

Avery’s POVThe kiss deepened, pulling me under like a strong current. My fingers were tangled in his shirt, gripping tightly. I wasn't just kissing him; I was drowning in the moment, lost in the feeling of his lips, the scent of his skin, the powerful arms wrapped around me. Every single thing outside of us, outside of this kiss, just melted away.Hector, Jasmine, Juliet’s nasty words, the blurry photo, Desmond’s warnings, even the attack yesterday—it all vanished. There was only Caspian. Only the warmth, the pressure, the intense connection that buzzed between us. It felt like my whole world had narrowed down to just him, just this moment.In the middle of that dizzying kiss, a thought hit me, clear as a bell. This felt… right. More right than anything had felt in a very long time. It wasn’t just physical. It was like a piece of me, a part I hadn’t known was missing, had finally found its place. My mind, usually so cluttered with worry and questions, was strangely quiet. All the noi
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 14. Eyes on Him
Avery’s POVWalking into the office later that morning felt different. Every step felt heavier, knowing what Desmond had told me about Caspian. The attack, the blurry photo, the missing past—it all swirled in my head.I made my way to my desk, trying to act normal, but my eyes kept drifting. They found him, of course. He was in his office, a glass of whiskey swirling in one hand, while he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought. He looked powerful, in control, everything a CEO should be.At first, I just found myself watching him, almost admiring him. He was really smart, no doubt about that. The way he handled Juliet, the clear plans he had for the company, even the way he carried himself—it was all so impressive. He was a force, something Hector could never be.But then, as I watched him, the admiration started to twist. It turned into suspicion, a cold knot in my stomach. Was that really Liam? The college friend Hector was so scared of? The man whose past seemed to
