Semua Bab Ex-husband Demands Remarriage: Bab 141 - Bab 150

They say one-night stands are unforgettable. Yep, I believe them now because I don’t think I’ll ever forget this one. My worst nightmare. Next time I’m hurt, I’ll make sure not to use a man unless he’s an escort and I’m desperate. That’s if I ever end up in another world, because I’ve learnt my lesson. Next time, I’ll just use my vibrator. No big issue.“Mr Hilton?”“Formalities? We’re past that, sweetheart, now that we–”“Okay.” I interrupted him, not wanting Rodrigo to hear that I was pregnant. I didn’t even know why. “Rodrigo, listen…” I walked toward Rodrigo “I’ve texted Tina, my assistant. She’ll call Aaliyah soon, and I think you should be with her.” I literally led him to the bedroom, holding his arm.“Really? Oh, that’s so kind of you. I appreciate you, Val. After all these years, you haven’t changed a bit. Always so compassionate.”“Yeah, yeah, please just keep her in there for as long as possible.” I said, pushing him inside and closing the door before he could say another w

***“You’re working with them,” I said after connecting the dots in my head.“Valeria, like I said, I’m not working with them. I just know them, okay?”“Does Pablo know you know?”“Of course. He was at the meeting where they asked me to stay out of their way. I’m the best here; they had to make sure we were straight.” No, he wasn’t bragging. He was truly the best… the best-trained killer, lol. “Now…” He looked at the backseat. “I’m sure you two know how dangerous this information is.”“Oh, trust me, I didn’t hear anything,” Millie said, rubbing the fabric over her belly.“What about tomorrow?” I asked.“What’s tomorrow?”“I want to meet them. I have to.”“I’m not promising anything, but—”“You lied to me. I came to you, and you acted like you had no idea. You literally put Millie at risk while knowing the truth.” I remembered how he forced Millie to speak, pointing a gun at her even when he knew she knew nothing. “I met you at the bar, desperate, remember? And you didn’t have answers.

I felt lightheaded, and I realised this wasn't about the questions alone but hunger. I hadn't eaten breakfast and even skipped dinner last night, but thinking of my daughter and the life growing in me at the moment, I calmed down.“Enough!” I actually didn’t calm down; I just held myself together as I screamed. “What does my story have to do with the governor?”“Well, you are–”“So what if I'm representing her? I am not the one running for president.” I cut one journalist off, just like they did with me.“True, but if she becomes president, you are to be the chief of staff, the one to advise her on how to run the nation.”“I see. So tell me, how will that affect her presidency?”“Other nations might not want to work with us.”“If that will happen, then we will give up the seat. Until then, we are going to try, and we ask that you give us a chance without judging us.” I firmly said, and no one seemed to have a question anymore.Instead, the team backstage started clapping their hands,

I had so much to live for. I couldn’t risk that, no matter what.“I don’t have money with me, but if you give me a moment, I can transfer you… any amount,” I said, panic filling my voice as they were still standing there.“Ms Sterling, I can see why you should be scared; hence, my arrival.”“Please—”“The boss saw the news. It was impressive, and for that, they sent this message.”“W-what?”“I’m going to drop it here and leave. Please read it.” They walked to the front, placed a small envelope on the bonnet, and then started walking away. I turned to watch their movement; they got to a car, got inside, and drove out.I didn’t move immediately. I waited in the car just to be sure. I stayed there for about five minutes, and once I was certain they were really gone, I got out, walked to the bonnet, picked up the little envelope, I don’t know why I believed him, and then walked straight inside, rushing actually, as I didn’t want to take any chances.Once inside the building, I took the el

I didn’t have the answer to any of the questions, so instead of asking more, as there were more, I grabbed the laptop, made sure to hide what I did earlier with the call, before walking back to the living space where Christian was and asked him to get started.Christian didn’t waste a second. He got started right away, and within a few minutes, we were seated, watching the footage of my whole apartment from just a few hours ago.“Do you know how she got in?” he asked, and I shook my head, as I wasn’t sure if that lobby man had let her in.“Don’t worry, I’ll find out. But it will take me a few hours since I don’t have cameras outside this place.”I nodded, my eyes fixed on the four divided screens on the computer.One showed the living room, another Parker’s room, then mine, and the last was the walk-in closet.“Why would you have cameras there?” I asked since Pablo only had his in the living room, and Christian made it clear these were his.“It was all for your safety.
