Edward’s pov

I watched the accident before me almost happen as I wanted to jump in to save them. But then George held me back.

“The security has it under control,” he said as I looked at the car before me.

The driver recovered quickly and drove away as I heard my name from the car.

“Who did you give your middle name to?” He laughed as I stared after the moving car.

“A special someone,” I said with something fluttering in my chest.

I looked at him and nodded. “Let’s go,” I said as he nodded and we walked away.

I soon finished with the school and its meetings, which, to be honest, were boring me to death, and headed home.

The moment I got out of the car, Bryan appeared like he had been waiting for me. He bowed, and my eyes immediately shot to the files in his hands.

“Can we do this later?” I asked. “I can’t keep this up. I need rest.”

“Certainly sir. I’ll push your schedule for later.”

I nodded and walked with him as we entered the house.

My butler got me a drink of water as I gulped

  • Winning My Ex Wife   Chapter 122

    Charlotte's povThe next morning, I woke up and hated how last night had gone. It wasn't very pleasant.Then the questions came pouring back, questions to which I had no answers, there could be no answers for this. I rubbed at my eyes, rolled onto my side, and tried to tell myself not to mind his actions and his cold words to me. But I didn't mind. He was leaving me. I could feel it down deep in my bones.And I knew why.It was all because of her.Eloise.That woman who always seemed to be around. Always in his orbit, even if she pretended she wasn’t. I’d seen the way she looked at him, and worse, I’d seen the way he softened whenever she was close. Like his guard dropped without him realizing. Like she already owned part of him.They were married in the past but not this time. He belonged to me and not her. What was the matter with him?I decided to go ahead and finish what I had started. I was going to face her and make sure she knew who she was dealing with.I bathed and dressed u

    Edward’s povI breathed in and tried to be calm.“Edward,” she said flatly, “you need to stop calling me.”“Oh come on,” I sighed. “You hundred percent know I can’t do that.”“Then learn how,” she shot back.I scoffed, shaking my head although she couldn’t see me. “You think I can just stop? Just cut you out like a bad deal gone wrong? No. I’d rather die than stop calling you, Eloise. I’m not letting go.”“I’m not doing this tonight. Goodnight.”“El…” but before I could say anything the line went dead.Something inside me broke.I began to pace. Goodnight. As if that drew the curtains.It didn’t.I pulled on my jacket and snatched up my keys.I was going to see what was going on with her.I got in and turned the car on as I roared out of the estate and down the road I headed to her house.My eyes felt tired. Hard. I was supposed to be sleeping but instead I was just stressing myself out. And for what?I caught a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror as I saw how tired my eyes looke

  • Winning My Ex Wife   Chapter 120

    Edward’s povI was on call going through all the scenarios, when I heard something in the corridor.“I'll call you back," I said to my spy and cut the call before turning to the slightly open door. “I know you're there, Charlotte." It didn’t take long before the door opened well and she walked in with her body half covered with transparent black lingerie.If I were attracted to her I would have had an erection but I didn’t like her one bit. In fact; I couldn’t care less if she died. That was how much I hated her.“You... you're still up.” She asked while staring at me with a little smile.All I could do was go around my desk and sit with my arms crossed.“Why are you standing outside like a thief?” I asked. And it wasn’t sarcastic so I don’t know why she was laughing.“I was…”“Eavesdropping,” I said flatly. “You think I didn’t notice? You’ve been standing there long enough.”She took a step toward me, then another, her hips shifting so that I could see exactly what kind of sin waite

    Edward’s povI stood over him, arms crossed as I was expecting my answer. Either that or he would regret crossing paths with me. He’d been attempting to look arrogant before we’d started all this, but that facade was quickly cracking. I could hear his lips quivering against one another as he struggled for air and failed miserably while his eyes darted back and forth between me and the men lined up in front of him.“Speak,” I said in a flat tone as he gulped.“Look… you just won’t get it. Please just help me. Let me leave.”“You said I won’t understand,” I smiled. “Explain it better then.”“It’s not just me.”“Then who?”He snapped his mouth closed, but I’d finally had enough. “I’m done with this rubbish.”I nodded to the big man beside me as he walked up to pierce and punched him so hard his neck snapped to the side as he grained and blood seeped from his broken lips and detached tooth.“That was one punch,” I said. “Imagine what four can do.”Pierce coughed, teeth stained red. His

    Charlottes povI blinked. “For… getting me out. For calling them. For…”“Oh… that,” he sighed. “It’s fine. You’re welcome.”My chest tightened. He was too calm. Too … Edward.“How did you even get that anyway?”“I was arrested wrongly,” I said while sitting on the couch close to him. “It was sort of a mass arrest or something. They didn’t say why at first.”“Mass arrest?”“Yes,” I said, but it came out too loud. “It was nothing. Just bad luck.”He nodded slowly. “Hmm. Interesting. And you didn’t think to call me earlier? Before they locked you up?”“I did,” I shot back quickly. “I called you. You picked up and then cut the call.”For a few seconds, there was nothing, and then he leaned to the back of his seat and gazed down at me. ‘I was… I was in a meeting,’ he said. ‘I couldn’t come. I’m sorry. Had to hear from Bryan about you.’I swallowed. A meeting. That had been his excuse. But the way in which he had said it… as if it were dismissal, as if there was no reply to make.“Anyway, I

    Edward’s povI got home and dropped my keys on the counter and rubbed my hands hard over my face. I couldn’t help it as I started pacing back through the living room again. I hate pacing but there are some days when I can’t make myself be still. I went to the fridge to get out a bottle of water as I downed it and tried to keep myself still.It was time to end this.I dialled the number for the investigators. The phone was picked up. “Mr Bassett’, replied one of the investigators, his voice crisp, efficient.“Yeah,” I said, my words grinding between clenched teeth. “You’ve got Charlotte. Let her go.”He hesitated… then said slowly, “But… but Sir… She’s right on…”“She’s innocent,” I snapped before he could finish. “She was set up. Any idiot can see that. She’s my partner. She’s not rotting in a cell for something she didn’t do. She’s not even in the business world so how do you have an innocent civilian in your custody? I could take this up and I could make sure your investigations g
