Chapter 52: Smack That ExDay 12/365VICKY“My hair?” I stuttered, turning slowly as Rue walked toward me.You can’t escape this, Vicky…“Nothing. My hair has always been like this. What do you mean?” I laughed nervously, tucking a strand behind my ear.“Nope.” His brows drew together. “Your hair’s been in a messy bun for days. Why is it suddenly down—and why do you look like you’ve been crying?”“You’re overthinking things,” I replied with forced calm. “I was trying out a new hairstyle for the wedding, so I just…”My voice trailed off. I hadn’t even come up with a proper lie. Rue was standing inches from me now, his eyes narrowing as he scanned my face.“Wedding hairstyles? Vicky, you suck at lying,” he said bluntly.I sighed and gave in. “Fine. I’ve just been going through a lot. Everything’s been overwhelming, and I had a little meltdown. That’s why my eyes are red and swollen.”“Really?” His tone softened. “Is this still about what happened last night? I didn’t apologize properly.

Chapter 54: Rue’s PovRUE.The whole ride home, she didn’t say much. She just leaned her head against the window, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag like her thoughts were louder than the silence. I kept glancing at her from the corner of my eye. That red bruise on her neck was still staring back at me, and I hated it. Hated the fact that I wasn’t there to stop it before it happened. Hated that it happened at all.When we got inside, I made her sit down on the couch and went straight for the drawer where we kept first aids and ointments . I found the ointment, i was searching for ,uncapped it, and walked back to her.“Let me see,” I said softly.She hesitated for a second, then pulled her braids to the side.I dipped my fingers in the ointment and gently dabbed it on her neck. She winced a little, and I slowed down. My eyes stayed on that bruise the whole time. I swear, if Williams had left more than that, I would’ve done more than twist his fingers—I would’ve snapped his

Chapter 56: That Witch Isn’t Invited To My WeddingRUE.He came in with a lawyer by his side like that was supposed to make any difference. Williams walked into my office like he wasn’t the same man who nearly strangled my to be wife a few nights ago.I didn’t even lift my head from the document I was signing. “I didn’t summon you.”“I know, sir… I just thought maybe we could talk.”I glanced up. “So talk.”His lawyer stepped forward. “Mr. Rue, my client is here in good faith. He deeply regrets…”“Save it,” I cut in. “I don’t want apologies from you. And you,” I turned my eyes to Williams. “I’m not firing you. Yet.”He looked up, his face lighting up like he’d just won a lottery.“But,” I continued, “that’s not because you don’t deserve it. It’s because the person who does get to decide that is now your superior.”He frowned. “Sir?”I smiled. “You’ll be reporting directly to your new Vice President… Vicky.”He blinked slowly. His mouth moved, but no words came out.I leaned back in

Chapter 58: Expired Milk . Day 17/365 VICKY Bella scoffed and crossed her arms. “You have no effect on him.”Sienna let out a short laugh like she was amused by a child’s tantrum. “Please. I could stop that wedding if I want to.”At that point, I had heard enough.I rolled my eyes and said, “Wow, is that your party trick now? Being the bitter ex?” i was trying to play cool with this, i wanted to stop her from talking . Sienna tilted her head slightly. “You have something to say?” “ Didn’t i just say something?” “ You said Bitter Ex, I am not sure if that’s meant to me, I am just his ex , what’s the big deal about and yet Bella is here saying i don’t have an effect on him “ Bella scoffed “ You don’t “I smiled, the tight, fake kind. “Yeah. Isn’t that why it’s called an ex? You’re not supposed to linger. You’re like expired milk. Throw it out.” Bella tried not to laugh but failed.“ You really are a sharp mouth , you should behave around me , i am really not a friendly type “ “

Chapter 60: Tension Day 17/365 VICKYRue leaned in, the music blurring in the background like it didn’t matter anymore. His hand brushed against mine as he whispered, “You don’t have to do anything… I’ll do it.”I blinked.I don’t have to do anything? That’s what my brain repeated on loop.Before I could make sense of it, his hand slid to my waist, firm but not rough. My breath caught in my throat as our eyes locked in—like something unspoken passed between us in that second. Then, he kissed me.Not a fake kiss.Not a gentle little peck for show.It was hot. Real. Intense.His lips pressed into mine, and I didn’t stop him. Couldn’t. His hand tightened around my waist as he deepened it, and I leaned in, helplessly. My mind wasn’t even on the dare anymore—it wasn’t on anything but the way he was kissing me like he knew what I tasted like already. Like he’d done it a hundred times in his head.I gasped against his mouth, and he didn’t stop. He kissed me like he meant to own the moment.
