Semua Bab Chasing back my ex-wife: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Kiara’s POV “I know it’s very hard right now, but please wake up.”My voice came out softer than I expected.Almost like a whisper.I sat beside him, my fingers gently moving through his hair, slowly. Like I was afraid he would disappear if I touched him too hard.The sound of the machines beep echoed through the quiet room. I leaned closer, studying his face and that was when it hit me.Even like this, he still looked cute.His lips slightly parted. His lashes resting against his skin. His expression calm in a way I had never seen before.My breath caught slightly.“What is wrong with me?” I muttered under my breath.I should be thinking about what happened to him. To his company.But instead, I was here staring at his lips.My fingers trailed down from his hair to his nose, and down to his lips.I paused. My heart thumped once. Then louder.“They’re still soft…” I whispered without thinking.Gosh! I shouldn’t be doing this. I shouldn’t even be here.This man hurt me. Broke me. Ch

Kiara’s POVI barely slept last night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face. I turned slightly in bed, staring at the ceiling as sunlight slipped through the curtains, stretching across the room.This particular morning felt awful. Probably because there was a man in my house.A man I once loved. A man I should never have let back in.I let out a slow breath and sat up, rubbing my temples lightly.“What were you thinking, Kiara…” I muttered.Letting Leo stay here? Of all people?I swung my legs off the bed and stood up, grabbing my robe as I headed for the bathroom. Cold water hit my skin, but it didn’t calm the storm inside me.By the time I was done and dressed, I had already decided one thing. I was going to act normal.No emotional confusion. No history attachment.The moment I stepped out of my room, I heard a soft laughter. It was low at first but suddenly became louder. I froze.What could be going on? I walked down the stairs slowly, my brows knitting together in confus

Leo’s POVI woke up to voices, and for a second, I didn’t move. I just listened.“We don’t have time to keep reacting,” Kiara was saying. Her tone was calm, but there was an edge to it. “We need to take control of the narrative before it controls us.”Silence followed.Then another voice. A male, slightly older. “And how exactly do you propose we do that when his entire system is compromised?”I opened my eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling. Back to reality. The attack, the collapse, the loss.I pushed myself up carefully, ignoring the slight pull in my chest. My body still wasn’t fully recovered, but my mind? It was wide awake and alert.I got out of bed and headed toward the door, drawn by Kiara's voice more than anything else.The moment I stepped down, I saw them.Kiara stood at the center of the living room, dressed sharply even in something simple. Tablet in one hand. Phone in the other. Completely in control.Around her were three people. Two men, one woman. All focused and lis

Kiara’s POVThe morning started normal as usual, but I felt unease. Flashes of what happened last night kept on replaying in my head.I went down to my kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee. I tightened my grip on the mug slightly.“Focus,” I muttered under my breath.Work. That was my safe place. It doesn't complicate my emotions, rather people did.And right now, there were two men in my life capable of doing exactly that.I exhaled slowly and took a sip of my coffee.The moment I turned around, Leo was there. Leaning against the kitchen entrance. Watching me.My heart skipped, and I immediately looked away, pretending to be busy with something on the counter.“You should be resting,” I said, keeping my tone neutral.“I slept.”“That doesn’t mean you’re fully recovered.”“I’m getting there.”Silence.I could feel his gaze on me. It was so distracting.“Stop staring,” I muttered.“I’m not staring.”“You are.”“I’m observing.”I scoffed lightly. “That’s worse.”A faint chuckle esc

Leo’s POV I shouldn’t have told her to go after him.The moment the words left my mouth…“Go after him, Kiara.”I already knew it was a mistake.Though she hesitated. But for a second I saw the conflict in her eyes.So I pushed.“Don’t let him walk away like that,” I added, my voice calm. I can't really tell if I was saying it from my heart. Or just to make her feel like I care.She looked at me again. Like she was trying to read something deeper. Then without another word, she left.The door shut behind her. I stood there for a few seconds, staring at the door like I could still see through it.Then I moved slowly toward the window.From there, I could see the front of the house clearly. And them too.Kiara caught up to him just before he reached his car.“Alex, wait!”Her voice was so loud that I could hear it, even from here.She sounded urgent and breathless. Obviously, she ran in order to meet up.I leaned slightly closer to the glass. Watching. Listening.“Why is he here, Kiara
