All Chapters of After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Hannah’s POV: They thought I couldn’t hear them. They thought a vegetative patient was just a body; silent, clueless, powerless. But I heard and felt everything. A nurse whispered beside my bed. “Her husband’s been here everyday. Poor guy, he just left a few moment ago.” “He cried so hard when he signed the DNR form… I almost cried too.” Poor? Can’t blame the nurse for falling for Hayes' perfect act— I used to believe it too. Until I caught him cheating. Until that “accident” that landed me here. Until he forged my signature and asked the doctors to pull the plug. People like Hayes cry over you, not because he loves you but because your death makes his life easier. The doctor actually hesitated. Said I was showing signs of response. Sighs I might wake up. But Hayes just said. “Don’t give me false hope.” And just like that— I was sentenced. I wanted to scream, to fight back— Don’t listen to him! I don’t want to die! But I couldn’t even twitch my finger. I could only

Hannah’s POV: My father was always against my relationship with Hayes, so when I decided to marry him without his blessings and cut off my family, we made a deal; if I could last three years in the marriage with Hayes without revealing my identity as the daughter of the Blacken Empire, the biggest oil & gas company in the country. Then he would accept Hayes as his son-in-law and give me his company. I was planning to tell Hayes that night everything about my family. But before I could I caught him in bed with his own sister. And worse? Lenora was the one who shoved me down the stairs, and Hayes didn’t stop until he was sure my breathing had almost stopped. He once saved me, but he also killed me. I don’t owe him anything now. I can finally start living for myself * * Adam’s place had the same familiar tone as his apartment back in college. The earth colors, the dim lighting, the wooden furniture— it was a perfect balance of luxurious serenity mixed with a homely feeling. “I

Hannah’s POV: I came out of the bathroom with my towel tied around my chest, and when I looked up, I saw Adam standing by my bedside. “Adam, when did you get in?” I held my towel tightly to my chest. He instantly turned his back to me. “Sorry, I didn’t hear you come out. I came to drop off an outfit I got you for your first day at your new workplace.” He pointed to the suit on the bed. “I’ll leave now.” He scurried out the door. The awkwardness was expected as it’s just been one week since we started living together. We were still in the adjustment phase. I walked over to the bed and picked up the black suit jacket matched with a pencil-sharp skirt. The outfit screamed elegance and prestige. It will certainly make a good first impression. I had finally accepted Josh’s offer to join his company after he pestered me all week. He had an idea he was working on and begged me to work with him on it since my schedule was now open after quitting Hayes's company. I got dressed and hea

Hannah’s POV:The car pulled up to the building where the charity event was taking place. I could see other cars lined up in the park, which signified the event was about to start. The driver came and opened my door, and I got down. I texted Josh that I had arrived, and the message delivered, but he didn’t read it. “He must not be online.”I made my way into the high building. The doorman dressed in a uniform opened the huge oak door and directed me in. Inside was lively music playing, and the light from the chandeliers illuminated every corner of the well-decorated room. My diamond necklace Adam had instructed the maid to give me this morning for accessorizing, caught the reflection of the light and sparkled like shining stars under a dark night.Everyone in the room paused, their eyes fixed on the blinding spark that had entered into the room. Their heads followed my every movement as I made my way down the stairs, the red dress fitted to my curvy body and high heels clicking again

Hannah’s POV:I read the message again and then decided to call Adam to confirm if he was actually outside. It was as though he read my mind because my phone rang at that moment, and all too coincidentally, it was Adam.“Hi,” I said into the phone as I picked it up.“I saw you read the message, but you didn’t respond.” He replied, his tone calm and expressionless as usual. “Aren’t you guys done with the event?”I nodded my head, forgetting he couldn’t see me. “Yes, we are. But, I just didn’t…,” I paused a little, trying not to let my confusion and surprise slip into my voice. “I didn’t expect you’d be picking me up.”He didn’t hesitate. “I was done with work and was heading home too. It’s not a big deal.”I looked up to meet Josh staring at me with a faint smile. “Yeah, but I don’t know if I can just leave Josh behind like—”“No, I’m fine. You can go.” Josh threw in. “I have to meet up with some of the organizers, and it may take a while.”“Oh! Alright then. I'll be coming out now.” I
