Sold to My Ex-Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

*Kaz’s POV*I got worried when I learned that Patricia and Stuart were still out of town until now. They were still together, and Stuart was doing things to ensure that Patricia could not attend our evening rendezvous. I learned that the car nap incident was just fabricated by Stuart and that he intended to prolong their stay in the hotel because he bought tickets for the pre-Valentine dinner for a cause held in the hotel where they are staying.I know I have no right to be jealous and no reason to battle with Stuart, but d@mn! Stuart hurt Patricia, and he cannot just show up to date Patricia anytime he wants to. I won’t make things easy for him. If he wished to get Patricia back, he had to work for it.“Roger,” I called my manager, “what happened to the invitation for me to sing in a certain pre-Valentine dinner at a nearby town?”“I declined it because you said you won’t be available,” my manager answered.“Call them again,” I instructed, “tell them to include me in their program a

*Patricia's POV*Stuart gave in to the request of my colleagues and stood in front of everyone. I do not want to watch him, but no matter what I do, I just can't take my eyes off him. I have been staring at his god-like features for years, but until now, I still feel the same fondness. I did not expect him to look at me when he started singing.I admit I wished he was singing for me because he looked fixated on me. While the girls in the venue went crazy about Stuart's manly voice, I tried to scold myself by giving in to hope again. I do not want to assume that his stare at me meant something. I may be wrong again.His stare towards me was not affected when Rachel came to him and gave him a flower. But I admit, I got pissed off when I saw his lips curled into a smile as he received the f

 *Patricia’s POV*“Why? Is it because he paid your services every night?” I expected him to think my work was dirty, but it still hurt. Does he really believe that I sold my body to his friend?“Stay away from him,” I heard him say, “if you need me to double his payment, I will do it. Just do not go with him anymore.”“Why?” I can’t help but wish that love is the answer, that he cannot bear to see me going out with his friend because he loves me.“Because you are mine!” he moved closer and kissed me.Did I hear it right? I was his? Why? Is it because he loves me? I could not stop my tears from falling. What

 *Patricia's POV*"Ma'am," I heard one of the dining crew call my attention, "someone's looking for you."I turned to check who he was talking about and immediately saw Kaz. Filled with excitement, I ran towards him and gave him a hug."Is that how much you missed me?" he jokingly uttered."Hey," I lightly tugged the tip of his shirt, "I am sorry I could not come to our schedule last night.""That's okay," he smiled sweetly, "let's just have lunch together.""I-I can't," I nervously bowed my head, "Stuart has instructed me to supervise the preparation of his lunch meeting today.""You are too pretty to supervise his lunch date," he sounded disappointed as he looked at the set-up of the meeting. I can't blame him if he thought I was preparing for a lunch date because the way Stuart instructed everything to be ready looked like it was designed for a romantic date."I will make it up to you tonight," I

*Stuart’s POV*With determination to end my agreement with Kaz, I went out of Patricia’s hospital room to talk to him. I don’t care if this sounds gay or desperate but I am now letting my guard down for Patricia. I can only do it for her, for my love for her. I have never accepted defeat in any bet that I get in to but I won’t hold on to my pride when it comes to Patricia.“Stop what you are doing,” I started, “I no longer want Patricia to stay away from me.”“What if I won’t stop?”My hands formed a fist when I heard him. Why won’t he stop?“I am no longer doing this for you, Stuart,” he continued, “I am doing this for myself because I love Patricia.”“Damn you!” I pushed him to the wall. Is this the reason why he made sure he’d bed Patricia?“Fvck you!” he answered while his punch landed on my face.Kaz is my friend and I do not want to hurt him but I cannot let him take Patricia from me. Since I know how important his image is, I decided to hit him on his stomach. He fell on the fl
