All Chapters of Sold to My Ex-Husband: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

*Stuart's POV I wondered why Patricia's smile changed. Is it because of our divorce? But I could not be responsible for the change in her smile. What happened before was bound to happen. My agreement with Patricia was very clear, and whatever made it wrong, it was because Patricia crossed the line of our first agreement.* The flashback*Three weeks passed, and I am still having trouble naming the feelings I have for Patricia. I know she is special because she made me smile even with just a thought of her, but I want to be sure about this. I wanted to be sure that this was not just some kind of infatuation where I just got used to her presence. She showered me with so much attention and did not give me room to make an effort for her. What if I just got used to her cares? What if she is just filling the gap that Sandra left? What if Sandra returns, and then I will realize that I still love her and not Patricia?I wanted to make this right. I do not want to make this relationship offic

*Patricia’s POV – the flashback*My spirits were high as we headed to our hotel suite. I admit that I anticipated something when we reached our hotel suite. I love Stuart, and I can’t wait to feel him tonight. I cannot deny the fact that I am both excited and nervous about our first night together. This will be my first time to share a bed with a guy. I have reserved myself for him, and tonight, I am giving my all to him.Stuart was silent the whole time, but it did not bother me. I do not know what he had in mind, but it doesn’t matter now. All I care for now is how to seduce him to fall in love with me. He has given me a year to do that, and I do not plan to waste any of that time. I heaved a sigh as I reminded myself that I would start seducing him tonight.We entered a nice, romantic honeymoon suite.

Still, since she wanted me to stay married to Patricia for a year, I obliged and hid the papers in my office. When I got the papers, I immediately rushed home to ask Patricia to sign the documents.I know Patricia did not expect this, but now is not the time for me to worry about how she will feel about it.
