Semua Bab Chasing back my ex-wife: Bab 21 - Bab 27

Kiara’s POVI’m not caught up in this drama I’m experiencing with Leo and Miriam. My main aim is to focus on my team and the project that brought me here and also proving to Evergreen Company that they didn’t make a mistake choosing me to lead their luxury workspace transformation. That’s what matters. Not this nonsense with Leo and Miriam’s daily dose of sabotage.But distractions don’t always ask for permission.After throwing out the gift Leo brought last time, I thought and hoped that it was the end of it. But no, he didn’t stop. One after another, they kept coming in. Perfumes, jewelry, even a limited-edition wristwatch he knew I used to admire back then but refused to get it for me on purpose. All this and more were delivered with fancy notes that screamed guilt and desperation.“Peace offerings,” he called them.Peace offerings, my foot.He wasn’t fooling me. I knew exactly what he wanted, to wiggle his way back into my life. But I’ve already made it clear, over and over again,

Kiara's POVMy phone rang immediately I reached my door, carrying two heavy bags and trying to find the right key. I picked it up without checking who the caller is.

"Thought I warned you not to call me for anything work-related. I’m done for the day. How hard is that to understand?

To see if you got home safely.”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "As what? Did I ask for your care?" I hissed. "You better say why you really called before I end this call."I moved the phone just a little bit, pressing it a little harder against my shoulder. I was trying to unlock my door. The force of the bags lying on my arms was much. I don't even know if Sophia's nanny had brought her home from school or if I wa

Leo’s POVI jerked up at the sound of my phone ringing out so loudly beside me, pulling me out of my heavy, foggy sleep. My head was pounding like a drum roll and my chest was beating fast as I reached out blindly for my phone. "Hello," I spoke into the phone with a groggy voice, and wasn't able to see who the caller was."Good morning, Mr. Leo. I Just want to remind you about your 10:30 a.m. strategy session with the executive team. Since you are not here yet,I think we should reschedule it till tomorrow or should we leave it sir? "What time is it now?" I asked, trying to sit up. My head still pounding."10:00 a.m. sharp, sir."My eyes shot open. "Shit! no, no. Keep it as it is. I’ll be there in a jiffy."I ended the call and rubbed my forehead, trying to piece together what exactly happened last night. The wine. The laptop. The sudden wave of dizziness and passing out.What the hell happened?I dragged myself out of bed forcefully and staggered to the bathroom. The cold water fro
