Semua Bab Chasing back my ex-wife: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Kiara’s POVI had to keep Sophia at home for a while.Not because she was sick, not because of school holidays, but because of Leo that's always coming to see her. She curled up on the rug with her legs crossed, eyes glued to the television as her favorite cartoon played. She laughed softly at something on the screen. I brushed my fingers through her hair as I walked past, inhaling the familiar scent of her coconut shampoo.I moved back to the couch after getting a glass of water, opened my laptop to monitor what was going on at the office. Work is the one thing that keeps me distracted.But I can't continue keeping Sophia at home because of Leo.The best thing to do right now was to change her school. Somewhere Leo wouldn’t know, somewhere he wouldn't just show up with so much entitlement.I had skipped work today just to be with her. To make sure she was okay. Her giggling echoed through the living room, filling me with warmth and guilt at the same time. I smiled, but it didn’t qui

Kiara’s POVI was having this wild dream about Leo and I, when I began to feel the kisses and touches. “Naughty boy, like you just read my mind.” I said within me as I enjoyed the romance. Not until I was reaching orgasm and he stopped. “Why did you sto…?”I opened my eyes to know why he stopped. It wasn’t Leo.It was Alex!I could see through his eyes that I bruised his feelings.Gosh! So I was hallucinating about Leo and screaming his name so loud. Fuck! Alex doesn't deserve this at all. The first time we were having sex, after being patient with me for so long, all I could do was scream Leo's name.I sat up immediately, my heart pounding violently against my ribs. Shame burned through me so fast it made my eyes sting.“Alex—” I started, but he was already stepping back.I watched him leave. He didn’t shout nor insult me. Which made me feel more guilty.The door closed behind him.That silence screamed louder than any argument.I stood up, my head spinning. I wrapped the sheet aro

Leo’s POVKiara has just decided to make it difficult for me to come in close contact with her and Sophia but one thing about me is that I don't give up easily. Not when it comes to them. And my mother is on my neck right now because of them. Apart from that, I really want to be part of their lives.A sharp knock on my office door pulled me out of my thoughts. “Come in,” I said.Vincent stepped in, tablet in his hand. “Sir,” he began, “I believe I’ve located the new school Miss Kiara registered Sophia in.”I straightened immediately.“Oh really?” My lips curved into a slow smile before I could stop myself.“Yes. It’s a private Montessori school in Pasadena, not far from South Lake Avenue. Quiet area. High security. Small student population.”Mmmm, Pasadena.I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly.“So that’s where you ran to,” I muttered under my breath.Kiara, you can run but you can’t hide forever.“Good work, Vincent,” I said aloud. “That’ll be all for now.”He nodded and left.

Chapter 58Kiara’s POVI was still shaking when the sirens finally went silent.The smell of burnt rubber hung thick in the air, mixing with dust and panic. My car sat mangled by the side of the road, the back crushed in so badly I could barely recognize it as mine.Every time I looked at it, my chest tightened.If I hadn’t stepped out.If I had stayed inside for just one more second…“Ma’am?” a voice called gently.I blinked and turned to see one of the paramedics crouching slightly in front of me. A reflective vest, calm eyes, steady hands.“Can you hear me?”“Yes,” I whispered. My voice sounded strange. “I can hear you.”“Good. Do you feel dizzy? Any pain in your head or chest?”I shook my head slowly. “I..I.. don't know what I feel right now.”“Just calm down, everything is gonna be alright.”They wrapped a blanket around my shoulders. I didn’t argue. I needed something to hold me together.Another man joined us, glancing toward the wreckage as they worked to clear the road.“We’

Kiara’s POVAlex parked in my usual spot and turned off the engine. “Are you sure you’re ready?”“I’ve been ready for three days,” I replied.“That’s not the same thing.”I looked at him. “You promised. One week.”He sighed, defeated but watchful. “I’ll walk you in.”“I can manage.”“I know,” he said. “I’m still walking you in.”The elevator doors opened, and before I could take two full steps out…“Welcome back, Ma’am!”The voices hit me at once.I froze.A wide banner stretched across the reception area.Welcome back, Miss Mitchell.Beneath it stood my team…design assistants, project managers, junior staff, smiling, clapping, holding gift bags and flowers. “Wow! Guys I really appreciate this. I never saw it coming.”“You didn’t have to…” My assistant, Tessa, said firmly, stepping forward. “You scared us.”“I had a minor accident,” I said lightly.“Minor?” someone scoffed. “We saw the news and we also didn't see for a week.”I smiled “it's fine. I'm here now.”They handed me cards.
