All Chapters of Sold to My Ex-Husband: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*Stuart's POV* "Ladies and gentlemen, we have just landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and we are now taxing to the NAIA Centennial Terminal 2. Welcome to Manila! For your safety, please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened until the fasten seatbelt sign has been switched off." I sighed realizing that I was finally back in the Philippines. Two years have passed since the last time I left the country but two years seems to be not enough for me to forget everything that happened. If I had a choice, I would never return to this place which reminded me of the fool I was but my father needed me. He is sick and can no longer take care of our family's business. As his only son and the only heir to his business empire, I have no choice but to come home and take over his businesses. "Stop moving around, Patricia!" I was startled when I heard her name so I looked over to see a woman trying to calm her daughter. "I am sorry," she apologized to me, "I did not mean to distur

*Stuart’s POV*I visited my father’s latest investment, which was the country’s well-known cakes and pastries shop, the Blue Plate. I was told that my father had not visited its branches because by the time he bought the bakery and its rights; he fell sick. Since its main branch is near my office; I thought that paying a visit would not harm me.I could feel the cozy ambiance of the place and the warm welcome of its employees, so I wore my most respectable smile and kindest handshake as I was introduced to each of the key personnel. I was still wearing my smile when I was introduced to the bakers, but that smile faded when I saw her. The woman I vowed never to cross paths again.“G-good morning, sir,” she pretended she was shy, but I knew the game she was playing. This is how manipulated me before. She was the same woman I had met before. She still has that expert stalking skill, but she cannot fool me. I knew she had enough money to put up her own bakery, but why was she working here

* Stuart’s POV *“Pat? Why are you not wearing anything on your feet?” I heard a woman ask someone who had just arrived. I actually do not want to care, but it bothered me when I saw her barefoot. Seriously! What was she thinking? I do not know what drama she is trying to project, but I am not buying it. If she thought that looking for pity would help, it won’t.I learned she could complete the task I gave her. This means it would be difficult for me to find faults in her job, so I will have enough reason to fire her. She is considered an asset of the bakeshop and was hailed as one of the best. If I am going to fire her for no reason, it might send a wrong signal to the other employees. They might think that the change of administration would endanger their jobs.I looked at my watch and smiled. I still succeeded, even though she completed her task. She may have kept her job, but I have kept her so busy that she could not have spare time to sneak into my office and flirt with me. All

* Stuart's POV *I was standing near Marco's mini-bar when I heard someone coming. I thought it was Mago, so I glanced at the entrance, but I did not expect to meet her eyes. It was a brief exchange of glances because she immediately turned away and headed to the kitchen."Wait, am I imagining things, or did I just see Patricia avoid your stare?" I heard Kaz, who apparently wanted to annoy me."Tsk," I decided not to bother and instead sip some wine."Come on! Do you really have to treat her that way?" Kaz leaned on the counter, "by the looks of it, it shows that neither of you has moved on.""Our breakup was clear to me," I firmly replied. "I don't know about her. She still continued to follow me around.""She still follows you around?" he inquired.I did not answer, and that gave him the message that I was not interested in our topic. Kaz has spoken with Angelo while I continued to drink my wine. I saw from the corner of my eyes that she had gone to talk with her friends. There is s

*Patricia's POV I knew that it wouldn't matter if I sang a song for Stuart or not, but since Kaz asked me to choose a piece, I decided to choose a song that would help me express how I currently feel. 'At least, even with a song, I can convince myself that I am already over with him,' she convinced herself.She smiled bitterly at the thought. She knew that even if she intended to sing the song for Stuart, it would still not matter. Stuart never cared about her. She sighed as she remembered the past.* The flashback*One thing about being rich is that after graduation, we do not need to worry about being hired. We have our own company to fall back to. While Stuart was starting to learn how to handle their family business, I decided to put up my own online business. It was easy since I could get clients from my dad's friends. Besides having a stress-free job, I also have enough time to work on my top priority for this month, and that is to make Stuart love me.Call it desperate, but i
