All Chapters of Taunted By My Obsessed Ex-husband : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KORA'S POVAfter Derek had left, my heart eased up a bit. Having him so close was distracting, and with him around, I couldn't think clearly.I was probably losing my mind if I was having these weird thoughts about a man I could never have.To him, I was nothing more than a fake contract wife, and when the time elapsed, we might go back to being strangers.The thought of it made my eyes sting for a moment, but I blinked it away as quickly as it came."Kora, are you getting mad? You know the separation is unavoidable. You'll have to disappear from his life one day." I tried to speak to my heart, but it remained still, like it was yearning for something so close.My head dropped to my feet, and I shook my head, curling up my wrists."Yet so far." I choked on my own words.After wallowing in the bask of my forbidden feelings, I went over to take a shower so I could calm myself. Derek was taking a lot of time, and I just wanted to sleep and get this day over with.I wrapped my towel aroun

KORA'S POVThe sunlight burned against my skin, but I refused to get up. I felt too exhausted from yesterday. The door creaked open, and my eyes flickered toward the direction."Good morning, miss," a maid greeted, and I jolted upright.My first instinct was to turn to my side, imagining Derek was there."Is there something I could help you with?" I asked the maid, holding tightly onto my robe."No, miss. Your husband asked me to check if you were awake and if your leg was alright," she said, giving a curt nod.I pushed the cover aside, craned my neck toward my feet, and then nodded. "It feels alright."The maid did a curtsey and then turned to leave. "Where is he?" I asked, barely able to hold the question back."Mr. Reyes has been in his study since last night," she said and left.My shoulders dropped. Did he really dislike the idea of us sleeping on the same bed so much that he left? I sighed, shaking my head."Derek, let's have... Sex" My words chanted inside my head as vague memo

DEREK'S POVSeeing her rack her brain over what happened last night made her look incredibly cute. The way her eyes lingered with curiosity as she clung to me for answers made me want to tease her even more—and I did.Last night, I did lose control, and I was ready to go all the way. But imagine my surprise when my wife, after seducing me, fell asleep right in my arms after muttering, "Let's have sex."I was sexually frustrated, stuck between wanting to wake her up so we could finish what we started, but I realized that wouldn't be fair to her.She was probably exhausted from the day's activities, and not to mention, the terms of our contract stated no intimacy. I specifically put those rules in place for a reason, yet she tested the edge of my limits every time she was close.The way her eyes always softened almost gave me the illusion that she might feel something for me. Or even if she did, I didn’t want to acknowledge it. It was never going to be possible for us.Pulling myself aw

KORA'S POVEvery moment I spent with him felt like I was walking on thin ice—that unsettling feeling of not knowing what would happen next.Not knowing when the ice would break and everything would come crashing down right in front of me.I had made my decision to get my head straight and not think too much about him, yet here I was, in the arms of the man I was trying to avoid.I took a breath, ready to tell him that it was time he let go, but his voice came in a whisper."Let's just stay like this for a while."When he said those words, I didn't know what to do. All my protests died in my stomach as he buried his face in the crook of my neck.I stood there for a while. The silence stretched between us even more—too long, if I must say. I started to worry when Derek’s hands slid down my back until they dropped to his sides.His body began to slide, but I quickly wrapped my hands around his neck. That was when I noticed his shallow breaths."Derek, are you sleeping?" I called out, giv

Kora’s PovLara! I hated everything about her, but now that I think about it, we were both victims of Devon's cruelty.I fixed a smile on my face, trying hard not to pounce on her after what she did the last time I saw her, Lara looked almost identical to Lydia, now I see, Devon has always had a type. It was foolish of me thinking what we shared was special.“Lara…how delightful,” I said sarcastically, she walked a bit closer to me, looking stunning. Expensive jewelry flashed around her neck, she wasn't a minimalist that's for sure, it was quite obvious that she spends a fortune on her looks.“I can't say the same,” She shot back with an arrogant smile.“Some things never change, I see you're still snooty, what else hasn't changed? Your obsession for Devon?” I chuckled lightly, I could sense that she was shocked by my clap back. In the past was meek and quiet, but now I am giving her a peice of her medicine and she's distraught. “How dare-” “Control yourself Miss Lara, we are in pu
