Semua Bab After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Hayes’ POV:“I only came to offer you…push me…,” Lenora’s voice came out distorted through the other end of the line. She had called me a few moments ago and it seemed she was having a conversation with someone but I couldn’t quite make out what she was saying.“Nora, I can’t hear you. It’s breaking.” I replied, shifting the phone from my ear to my mouth to speak.I moved it back up to my ear again to try and decode the hazy frequency. I heard a string of words form another sentence from the other person she was talking to. “I saw everything…I saw you throw the…falling to the ground…” It all made no sense. I couldn’t decipher what was going on and honestly it was starting to get a little annoying that she wasn’t responding to me. I mean why call me only to ignore me.Just then some accused her. “…sneakily dialing a number on your phone…” BEEP! BEEP!! The call ended.“What the hell was that about?” I tossed the phone to the table, my annoyance now heightened. “She called me and then

Hannah’s POV:The surface of my palm was a tainted red, caused by the impact of my hand against his cheeks. Hayes stood in front of me, one hand cupping the smacked cheek and his eyes wide with disbelief. Disbelief that I had actually slapped him.He was lucky. I only gave him one slap because he deserved a few more. For him to stand face-to-face with me and call me damaged goods. To tell me I owed him for the three years we spent together, like he wasn’t the one who leeched off me the entire time. Like all he had wasn’t gotten through my own brains, my own sweats, and my own influence.I bit my lips so hard I felt a tinge of pain from the pressure. I should have known a dog only knew its usual tricks and would continue to only use that one truck it’s learned. But no longer was I held by that trick, no longer did it affect me. Hell! Now it only disgusted me.I was disgusted that I had ever loved this man. Infuriated that I had blinded myself to his obvious lies and deceit. Disappointm

Hannah’s POV:“You know, I’ve missed you.” Hayes whispered in my ear, his voice hinting at dark intentions. “I’ve missed the way your skin feels, missed the way your lips taste.”My body weight felt heavy, like I couldn’t hold myself up for long. My frame swayed, and Hayes brought my head to rest on his shoulder.“All your toughness has evaporated,” he chuckled as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “This is how you’re meant to be, meek and submissive.”My vision began to blur, objects in the environment dividing into two. At this point, I was now half conscious. “Did…you drug…the drink?” My speech came out slurred. Hayes put a finger against my lips. “Shush!” He hissed.“Let’s not waste this moment with who did what.” He slowly took my head off his shoulder, holding it in his hand as he stood up. “Let’s just enjoy it.”My stomach churned when Hayes carried me up from where I sat and laid me flat on the floor. His eyes scanned my defenseless body like a sugar-crazed toddl

Adam’s POV:My brows furrowed, realizing Damian had just been pulling my leg to get a reaction. I was about to smack his head when Hannah’s soft groan from across the bed stopped me.Like a cauldron call, I rushed over to the bed, sitting by her side. I could feel the heat from her body due to our close proximity. My body temperature also seemed to rise, almost like we were symbiotically connected. I wanted to hold her, to cup her in my hand and absorb all the pain she felt, but instead my hands just stiffened by my sides, unsure of where to touch. Her body felt like a temple, and I was scared of desecrating it. Just as I rummaged my head for what to do, Hannah suddenly curled up sideways on the bed and wrapped her arm around my waist.My body froze, breath caught in my throat. It was like the priestess of the temple had laid her sacred hands upon me, and I shivered from the impact.Damian pulled up to where we sat, his phone in front of our faces. “Jeez! Adam, your face is as red as

Hannah’s POV:Silence filled the room like a cologne. The type of silence that made the pounding in your chest sound as loud as a herd of bulls running through a field.Adam’s face had gone red, his cheeks the color of a ripe tomato. He was quiet; his eyes that were usually filled with a calm sort of control now looked taken aback, like a deer caught in headlights. OMG!! OMG!! Why did I just say that!? Instant regret! I scolded myself in my head.I felt like it was partly due to the effect of the drugs influencing me because why else would I have just blurted out that question? ‘Do you have feelings for me?’Like, of course not. That couldn’t be true. Absolutely not.Why would I even think that?Was my mind all fogged up because of how considerate Adam has been? Him allowing me to stay over at his house, him helping out with my projects, and even constantly motivating me.Or was it because of how he had swooped in to save me and brought me straight to the hospital, staying with me
