Karia’s povI was tapping my foot nervously on the marble floor, one hand on my waist while the other was gripping my phone as I scrolled through my call log to call Leo. “Leo baby pick up” I whispered, my voice filled with anxiety.The wall clock struck steadily, its noise resonating in the living room. I looked at the clock and sighed deeply, as I began to walk back and forth across the room, feeling anxious. “Where could he be at this time? Why wasn't he answering?” my heart raced as it filled with thoughts and images of different scenarios.I was about to call again when the front door slowly opened. A relief came over me when I saw him. I rushed to welcome him. “ Oh thank goodness you're back! I exclaimed with excitement, embracing him so tight.“I’ve been worried about you” he didn't reciprocate the hug, his hands remaining in his pockets, but I didn't mind since he was home safe.“You don’t have to worry about me, I'm a full-grown man,” he said gruffly.His response made me pul

Kiaria’s Pov I let out a sarcastic smile. “Leo Williams” I replied in a sarcastic tone.He smiled, trying to act familiar. "Kiaria, it's so great to see you again. You look... stunning." Looking at him, I couldn't tell what my emotions were playing at. Was it anger, sadness, or something else entirely? All I knew was that I wasn't happy to see him but my heart was racing, and I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. “I said you look stunning,” he repeated,this time around, his voice became softer like he really needed me to acknowledge his compliment. “Oh of course, I know” I had to answer him that way to let him know I'm no longer the timid kiaria he used to know. “Oh I see you guys have already met,” Mark said with a surprised look. Leo chipped in immediately, “Yes, she's my wife” moving closer to hold me asif I’m one of his possessions. “Don’t you dare come close to me.”I said with a wide rage of anger in my eyes, staring at Leo. “Ex-wife,” I said loud enough that every

Leo's povI could hear the door slamming after her, leaving a heavy silence in its wake. I was unable to move, her words playing inside my head. Fifty-five percent?The next voice I heard,made my skin crawl."Isn't this pathetic ?"Miriam.I could bet my last buck that she was standing arms folded, her face twisted in a cruel smirk and the chuckling accompanied by that annoying drawl of her voice said, "Leo Williams," dragging it out like it was some kind of hilarious joke. "The mighty CEO, crawling on the floor for his ex-wife's approval. Gosh! I wish I had a camera."I forced myself to stand, brushing off my pants as I turned to face her. "Miriam, not now.""Oh not now?" she said, her voice rising in mock disbelief. "Not now? Leo, do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? Crawling to her after everything we've done to build this company?""Everything we've done ?" I let out a dry, humorless laugh. "You mean everything you've done to destroy her? Don't act innocent here."She smi

Leo's povA sleek black car had pulled up, and a man stepped out, a man I recognized instantly. Alex Carter.I froze, watching as he walked around to greet her, his face lighting up in a way that made me clench my fists. Kiara's laughter rang out faintly as she hugged him, her arms wrapping around him in a way that felt too intimate, too natural.He also went ahead to open the car door for her, his hand sliding lightly across her back as she entered with a smile.I stood at the window watching the vehicle drive away. My chest was tight, the anger and regret stirring in me was something I had never learnt to control.Alex Carter. Of course, it was him. The man she always referred to as just a friend, just a childhood friend. Could it be he is the one who picked up the pieces I broke?Before I could process it, the door to my office flew open with a bang.Miriam stormed in, the sound of her heels against the tiled floor was like a warning siren. The expression on her face was a mixture

Leo’s povI went back to my office after Kiara left, sank back into my office seat, loosened my tie, and let out a long breath. The weight on my chest was heavier than usual and it wasn't really about the project, rather it was Kiara that occupied my thoughts.I leaned back in my seat, faced my head to the ceiling and then I shut my eyes closed. memories of her flooding back into my mind. Her laughter at my jokes, the many lazy Sundays she would curl up beside me, the way she used to look at me as though I was her entire world. How had I allowed that to slip away?I opened my eyes and glanced through the window, Where I had a clear view of her office. She was pacing inside, with her phone pressed to her ear, having an animated conversation. She was so engrossed in the conversation.What if she was talking with Alex? The thought struck me. The thought of Alex made my jaw clenched. Seeing them together that very day, the way she laughed with him and hugged him so tight. It felt like a
