Semua Bab Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again?: Bab 41 - Bab 50

AUTHOR'S POV Leaning on the balcony’s railings, Stephanie darted her eyes around softly, enjoying the beautiful view of Aurelian city from her penthouse balcony. She was holding a glass of amber liquid in her left hand, slowly sipping on it as the cold breeze brushed through her hair, making the feeling more compelling. She took another sip, closing her eyes gently as the cold liquid hit her guts. ‘Heaven, it feels so good.’ She thought, the corner of her lips curving into a smile. What was there to worry about when life was this good? She has everything that she has ever wished for. She can buy the most expensive wine that is decades old. Buy the most expensive clothes, cars and live in the most expensive apartment in Aurelian city. The current apartment that she’s currently residing in is the most expensive apartment in the city. It's built using rare gemstones and both interior an

LUCAS“Sure, on my way.” I hung up the phone, shoved it in my pant’s pocket then turned around and walked away.“ Lucas, where are you going? You can't leave the meeting just like that. You know how important this meeting is to the company.” I heard Adam's laboured voice come from behind me. I could tell that he was running to catch-up.It's true the meeting was important to the company and it was our last hope. The investors had agreed to increase the investment in the company. Well, what made me walk away from the meeting imposed too…Adams finally caught up with me and stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I heaved a deep sigh, trying my best not to kick him out of the way.“What's wrong with you man? Don't tell me you're going to cast away all the efforts that we made to convince the investor to increase their investment. What's more important than this meeting?” He asked, clearly pissed off with my behavio

AUTHOR'S POVKaterina’s breath caught in her throat when she heard Luca's words. To be honest, she wasn't expecting him to trust her that easily, not even in her wildest dream.Why the change of heart? Why did he believe her without asking questions like he always did? Katerina couldn't help it but wonder, many questions buzzing in her mind.“You…believe me?” She asked hesitantly, not sure if she had heard it right or if her ear was playing a damn game on her. You can't blame Katerina for acting that way because…it was hard for Lucas to believe her in the past, since Monalisa walked in her once peaceful life where they were no doubts. Kate wasn't expecting the conversation to be this smooth either. She was prepared to face the difficulty that was ahead of her. She was ready to accept the fact that Lucas wouldn't believe…The smile on Luca's face broadened when he saw her reaction. He knew damn well that she would act that way when he heard his words.“Yes I

Chapter 048LUCAS“I can't allow Katerina to take advantage of my mother. You know how much our son loves his grandma. If Katerina sends her to jail, Liam would be the one who would be the most affected. We need to protect our son, Lucas.”I ran my fingers through my hair when Monalisa's words echoed in my head over and over again. It's true Liam loves his grandma so much and there's no doubt that if she goes to jail, he would be affected so much.“I would like you to testify in my favour because you were there with me. You know what really happened.” Katerina’s words re-played in my mind and I couldn't help it but release a frustrated sigh. I recalled the tears in those brown hazel eyes as Katerina fought hard to hold it back. I could see the raw pain that she has been harbouring for years through her eyes.How does someone deal with a situation like this? I have never been caught in such a difficult situation.I have been thinking for hours but…I haven

KATERINA I blinked just to make sure that my eyes weren't playing some tricks on me and…indeed it was him, Lucas Thompson. I had forgotten I added his name to the people who can visit my apartment at any time because I was expecting him to drop by and let me know about his decision regarding the case. I didn't want the situation to look awkward like what happened back at the company. I wasn't expecting Lucas to show up since I had already given up, called my lawyer and explained to him the situation. Why did he show up at my doorstep? Was he here to inform me that he had chosen the other side? A lamp formed in my throat when I gave it a thought. The doorbell rang again, pulling my mind back to the present. Swallowing hard and with shaky hands, I slowly twisted the metallic doorknob, bracing myself for what Lucas had to say to me… Before I could open the door fully, Lucas was already in the house. I gasped when Lucas wrapped his hands around me tightly, burying his face in my neck
