Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife : Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

(Ivy)“Incredible,” Sabrina breathes out, her eyes lightening up as she goes over my business proposal. “This is to my liking, Ivy. I for one love to venture into businesses with solid prospects and this is it,” she tells me, making me feel all warm inside.“Thank you, Sabrina.” my voice carries a hint of pride as I say this.Without wasting anymore time, she signs the contract, gently pushing the file over to me to put down my signature and I did.“Welcome on board, it's up to you now,” she tells me, a soft smile sitting on her lips.I nod. “Sure, and be rest assured I’ll give it my all, you won't regret this,” I say and she flashes me a smile, nodding.“I'm certain I won't, and I believe Ethan will put in as much work too,” she says and I suddenly roll my eyes.“Ethan?” I ask, genuinely confused.Her eyes lit up. “Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I won't be directly in charge of this, someone else will. He's most reliable,” she says and watches me for a second. “I hope that won't be a

(Rihanna)My phone rings as I step out of the bathroom, and when I reach for it, it was mother calling.I just stare at it, and for the first time since I left home, I went numb.I don't take the call though, my nerves are already short and adding my dearest mother's mood swings was going to be an inconvenient extra, and I'd rather not.The thing is, we both hardly agree to a thing, she— she's quite the control freak, who had dictated my entire life from birth till I turned eighteenth.I wanted to find me, do life on my own terms for a change. Being a top model has always been my dream since highschool but to Elena Rodriguez, running a successful company on a pointy heel is more ideal, it's always been her way or the highway.Things went downhill when I blurted out about my plans to pursue my dreams in a family dinner.Of course, she tried to get in the way, convince me otherwise, did everything to stop me, even worse, she froze all my accounts, thinking it'll quell my interest and get

(Ivy)My phone buzzed and I pull it out from my bag, staring at the caller ID on the screen.It was Henry, my grandfather's assistant calling.And everyday this week, it's been from one call to the other, which eventually ends up unanswered.If George Reynolds wanted to find me, he would have, without breaking a leg.But he hasn't.I keep my phone into my bag, before walking to my car, hand in hand with Aria.I had promised to take her shopping after she insisted that she was missing at least a few pencils, crayons and even a notebook.I could've called up Bella to bring the twins for a group shopping, but right now they're on a mini family vacation.And that has been my reason for not mentioning my working together with Ethan, or rather my excuse.I had only asked her if she knows a thing or two about Ferns but she doesn't, she only remembered Dean mentioning the corporation a few times here and there, that's all.Aria's giggle as we got to the parking lot, pulled me out of my reveri

(Ethan)For the next few days, I bury myself in work. I attend more meetings than ever and go over for building inspection. Staying busy is my way of distracting myself from thinking about Ivy, it works somewhat.With my mind occupied with work and the success of my company, I barely had time to think about her. But the moments I do, it's the worst.Then one morning, my assistant, Grayson shares a good deal with me, some building in a good estate, ready for sale and inspection.I had just one problem, that estate was the same one where Ivy lives.“I don't think I want to buy,” I blurted out, not sure how else to put it.He blinks. “Why not?” disappointment claws his features. “You haven't even taken a look. It's a good one,”I exhaled deeply. “I don't think the location suits us best,”“It does, look.” he lets out, passing his tablet to me. I didn't need to look at it to decide, I have been there and I know that estate is just as good as mine. It's just —- Ivy, what if I bump into he

(Ivy)“I don't know how but Aria seems to be fond of him, my daughter was literally smiling at the jerk,”“You mean her father?” Tracy says with a teasing tone.I blanch at that and quip back. “Aria's got no dad! I'm all she's got!” the pitch of my voice went up and died on the last note with a strangled wheeze.“Fine, but don't you think this is way too risky? I mean you and this guy literally work together now, it's only a matter of time before he figures it out,”“He won't. No one here knows Aria is Ethan's, not even Bella. So, there's no way in hell he'd ever find out,” I say firmly and I mean every word I say.Tracy lets out a deep breath. “Alright — I'm just worried that things might get complicated, that's all,”I sucked in a sharp breath, appreciative of her concern. “I know, but that'll never happen. I will be careful not to let anything slip,” I tell her, more confident than I've ever been.“Okay,” she mutters.“So, what exactly do you want to discuss with me?” I ask, prior
