Semua Bab My Billionaire Ex Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 31 - Bab 40

The moment Olivia heard the words Noah Grant, her head snapped up fast enough that she nearly gave herself whiplash. At first, all she felt was an indescribable feeling of rage. The anger cut through her grief like a hot knife through butter, reminding her of the person primarily responsible for what had happened this morning with Michael. Olivia had no illusions that she herself was not at fault since all of this was her plan to begin with, but knowing Noah like she did, there was no way he would not have taken the chance to antagonize Michael when the latter had come to her house. Maybe if she had gotten the chance to speak to Michael then, she might have been able to actually explain the situation. Instead Noah had most likely set off the man she really loved and now she was the one suffering from his actions once again. Wiping away the last of her tears, Olivia straightened up and turned to the door. "Bring it in, Lisa," she requested. The other woman glanced at her for a m

"Hi," Michael's smooth voice flowed from the phone's speakers as the recorded voicemail message began to play automatically. "I can't come to the phone right now but feel free to leave a message so I can—"Olivia cut the rest of the recording short with a sigh as she ended the call attempt. She had no idea how many times she had listened to the same recording over and over for the past few days. Since their disastrous talk in his office that day, Michael had seemingly gone off the grid in terms of communication. No matter how Olivia tried, she could not reach him. Her calls were always left unanswered, and her text messages had been piling up without a single response from him. Throughout that time, Olivia had been consumed by a relentless guilt that had continued to eat away at her for days. Michael's reaction that morning had been nothing short of terrifying, though in a different way than her marriage to Noah had been. Her fear had not been of the possibility Michael hurting her,

"So, how are things going over there?" Noah spoke into the phone that was held against his ear as he walked towards his closet. "Oh it has been going absolutely splendidly," a smooth feminine voice replied on the other side of the connection. "Although I did encounter a bit more difficulty at the beginning just as you said."Noah chuckled as he opened the double doors of his closet. The space within was large enough to fit an entire room inside, with multiple sections that were dedicated to one specific type of clothing. "Well then, I suppose it's a good thing you decided to listen to my advice. When it comes to playing with the strings of the human heart, I am the best pupper master you're going to find."The sheer arrogance in his voice made the person in the other end of the call to laugh, her voice a sharp sweet melody. "Having witnessed the result of your work firsthand, I must say that I have lost all doubt in your ability. How is Miss Olivia by the way?""Oh she is as beautifu

With the crystal clear champagne flute in her hand, Olivia watched silently as Amelia and Michael disappeared into the crowd in the direction of the exit. The way the other woman seemed to wrap herself around Michael's arm had Olivia's head throbbing with envy and irritation. She shifted her eyes around once the two were out of sight. Fortunately no one in the crowd had noticed the little altercation that would have occurred if Olivia had not retreated the moment she did. She brought up the glass to her ruby red lips, attempting to use the rich taste of the wine to distract herself from the gut wrenching ache that wreaked havoc on her heart each time she thought of the man she loved going home to sleep in the arms of another woman. The worst part about the whole thing was the fact that Olivia could not really blame Amelia for any of this. As far as the other woman was concerned, she had merely come back to get back together with her fiance with whom she never called things off.Olivi

The ungodly hangover that had remained with Olivia throughout the morning after the party made the woman remember just why exactly she rarely drank. Fortunately for her, Noah had brought her home that night and left her to rest which contributed to her not waking up to a completely messed up day. That had been a few days ago, and since that night Olivia had yet to come in for work. After the company dinner party, Noah had decided to stay at her place for a while. The man had probably done so with the intention of furthering his relationship with her, but Olivia had a much different view of the matter. Seeing Michael that night had forced her to come to terms with the reality of what she was doing. Olivia had realized that if she continued to drag out this plan of hers for revenge, she was actually going to lose Michael to Amelia. The short time she had spent around Michael that night had been the wake-up call she needed. After the party, and with Noah insisting that he stay over for
