All Chapters of Chasing back my ex-wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kiara's povI was preparing a cup of coffee for myself in the kitchen, my mind already thinking about the long day ahead. I decided to go sit at the dining table, when I turned, I saw Alex leaning against the door frame. I almost threw my cup of coffee. I didn't know he spent the night at my place after the incident yesterday, so I wasn't expecting anybody. "Jezzz! you scared me.""Sorry,I didn't mean to." he said, stepping aside.I walked past him and sat at the dining table.He came and sat next to me,there was a silent tension between us."About yesterday—" he finally said, breaking the silence.I raised an eyebrow, sipping my coffee. "What about it?"He cast his gaze downward and raised it up almost immediately."I didn't expect Sandra to show up like that, I was just as surprised as you were, and I'm sorry if I didn't handle the situation well." "It's fine. You couldn't have done anything more than what you did and it's not your fault she behaved like a mad dog.” I let out a dry

Leo’s POVI walked out of Kiara’s office, gripping the file in my hand, but my mind was already far from the damn paperwork.My thoughts were filled with Sophia, her smile, and most especially, her eyes. Those eyes appeared to be so familiar that they sent some indescribable current through me. Her long, dark hair framed her small face and when she blinked up at me I felt an odd recognition that I could not explain. I walked back to my office, feeling my grip tighten on the file.I slammed the door behind me as I cursed under my breath upon entering my office. The noise echoed throughout the room, doing nothing to calm the storm that raged within me.I threw the file onto my desk and yanked my tie, loosening the suffocating knot around my throat. Frustration pulsed through my veins.I did a quick calculation in my head…”I'm sure she's not more than four or five” I murmured.The time I took a closer look at her, I felt this connection between us.The way her nose scrunched slightly wh

Alex povI leaned against the driver's seat, tapping my fingers on the steering wheel and constantly shifting my gaze between the dashboard clock and the entrance of Kiara's office building.She had asked me to pick her up after work, but the typical Kiara I know, she would still be probably busy drowning herself in work or a meeting. Always engrossed in work and always pushing herself to be better. I love that about her though.I had arrived earlier than the time she told me to come, so I figured I could get some work done while waiting. I took out my phone, ready to go through some mail I got while leaving my office when I saw a movement at the side entrance of the building. At first, I thought it was one of the employees, but something about this one seemed... unusual.This individual was dressed in dark clothing and had the hoodie cap drawn low over their face and a nose mask as if purposely trying to hide from being recognized. Its steps were quite quick and yet hesitant, lik

Miriam's PovI closed the door of my office, my back pressed against the door as I released a slow breath of relief. "That was close," I muttered. I moved straight to my office chair and sat down, staring at the blank laptop on my desk, replaying the scene and how furious Kiara was--just the way I like her to be."Enjoy your little victory while it lasts, Kiara," I murmured to myself, stretching out my legs. "You were lucky this time, but next time?" You won't be. You'll be humiliated precisely how I want.I let out a low, wicked laugh, picturing the day she’d crumble in front of everyone. No matter how careful she tries to be, I must get her, cause even the strongest foundations had cracks. I just needed to find hers.I was still basking in the moment when the door of my office burst open and it was Leo. I stiffened slightly, but composed myself quickly, rolling my eyes as he walked in. With the way he stormed in and his countenance, you could see that his angry. He was fuming."W

Kiara's povNo matter how hard I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting back to Miriam’s reckless stunt during the client presentation yesterday.The look on the client’s face when he noticed the mix-up… it still made my stomach twist.Hours of preparation went down the drain, and she had the audacity to act like its just a slight error. The closed door of my office gave me no solace I craved for desperately. The entire morning had been from one interruption to the other-- calls, messages, team questions. Everyone wanted something. And me?I just wanted a moment to breathe.A knock at the door stopped me from getting more upset.The door opened before I could utter a word.Leo walked in.My heart fell and immediately rose in angerFor some seconds, he said nothing, his eyes locking with mine briefly- doubtful, I guess, trying to read me and then swerved away. In his hand was a sleek gift bag, provocatively adorned with ribbons, leaving behind a faint trail of perfume.I blinked. "What
