All Chapters of From Scorned Wife to Empowered CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hiring a babysitter was not difficult. There were many available “online”, but even so, she preferred to ask for the contact details of her niece's babysitter. Gustavo asked her a series of questions before agreeing to give her the number: “Where will you go?” “Who will accompany you?”“Be very careful, Adeline. An accident could happen to you”His brother had always been very overprotective and after his accident, he had become much more paranoid. Adeline felt sorry for his situation and how much he was suffering. She knew that after the death of his wife and that traffic accident that left him in a wheelchair, he was never the same again. There was no way he could be the same again, but if he did not give up, it was for his daughter.Carol, the babysitter, was an outstanding young university student. In her free time, she took care of children and was studying to be a teacher. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cooper,“ I greeted her as soon as she opened the door. “Nice to meet you, Caro

Adeline's mind was trying to process what was happening. All she knew was that Anthony's lips were moving hungrily over hers. A second later, she found herself gasping for air. It was not like her. The heat flooding her body could not be expected. She could not feel such longing and desire for a simple kiss. “What was going on?” she asked herself again. It had been a long time since she had felt like this. She did not even remember having felt like this in the moments of intimacy with her ex-husband. Those nights were completely monotonous, and she had never really experienced what sexual pleasure was. Humberto was a man who always thought only of his enjoyment, and she was a woman who had become too complacent. A bad combination, now that she thought about it. However, at that moment, in that light touch of lips, she could feel the adrenaline coursing through her system and moistening her most intimate area. She was aware of how exposed they were, that surely someone could be wa

“Until you deign to come,“ Adeline said to the man in front of her.“I've been busy,” the man said, defending himself, with a shrug of the shoulders. “I don't have as much free time as you.”“Like me? What are you talking about, Humberto?”“That you've always been lazy.”“Don't be insolent!”“What are you taking offense at?” she said shamelessly. ”You always preferred to stay at home and laze around.”“Well, you're wrong if that's what you think,“ she clarified. ‘I always wanted to work, but your macho beliefs prevented me from doing so. Besides, housework is just as important.’“Now it turns out it's my fault!” he said indignantly.“Of course it is.”“Find my children, woman. I didn't come here to waste my time arguing with you.““Of course not,” she said and went to tell the children that their father was there.As expected, her three little ones ran down the stairs to meet the man, who took them in his arms and gave them a big hug.It was the weekend, so Adeline had other activitie

There was nothing unusual about closing the door. Generally, people who wanted to talk without interruption chose that option. However, Adeline felt that the last thing Anthony wanted to do was talk.“What do you need to tell me?“ she asked him and tried to keep distance from him as much as possible.The man again looked at her with that wild and burning gaze. She had no idea how a simple look could convey so much because his eyes seemed to be shouting out all his desires.“I wanted to talk about the kiss,” He confessed her confidently as if it were the most normal of conversations.The woman circled her desk and walked much further away, it was a vain attempt to protect herself."I thought that had already been made clear. It was a mistake.""Not on my part" Again all his confidence was present."Anthony, please..."“Adeline, I feel that that kiss only awakened feelings that are not dead” his voice became a murmur struggling amid that contradiction. ”I don't know how that's possible

Even with all her determination not to become a lover, Adeline could not say no to Anthony when he suggested the idea of going somewhere else. She did not need to be very smart to know what kind of place he was referring to was a hotel.The room they were given was simple but cozy. The double bed was covered with a bedspread in soft tones, and the pillows provoked to rest. The only difference was that they were not exactly going to rest. The curtains were lace and let in the dim moonlight, creating a more intimate and romantic atmosphere.In one corner, a small bouquet of roses adorned a bedside table. The floor was clean and polished, and the cream-colored walls conveyed calm and serenity. Adeline approached the window and opened the curtains, revealing a view of well-kept gardens and a starry sky.“It's beautiful,“ those words escaped from her lips.“Not as beautiful as you,” strong arms wrapped around her in a hug.Adeline felt her nerves invade her. She did not know what she was t
