Semua Bab Reborn: A Devil’s Deal to Ruin My Ex-Husband: Bab 171 - Bab 180

“ Elly,” Ruby called happily as Eloise stepped into the room with Antonio. Her call was weak. So was her frail body lying weakly on the bed with the IV drip passed into her arm. Eloise smiled and quickly went to her side. “ Grandmother.” She called, sitting beside her on the bed. Taking her hand into hers. “ How are you feeling now?” She blinked her eyes softly. “ I'm feeling very much better, and you?” She asked worriedly, scanning her body with her eyes. “ I'm fine now…” “ Did you go to work? Why are you going to work when you should still be relaxing at home?” She asked but shot Antonio a glare. And the first thing she said to him since he walked into the room was. “ Why are you letting her work when she should be home, recovering?” Eloise quickly stepped in. “ I'm perfectly fine, Grandmother. I was the one who insisted on going to work today.” Ruby exhaled, intentionally avoiding Antonio’s gaze. “ And I also want to use this medium as an opportunity to pro

Tamara hummed along with the music, stirring the wheel and shaking her body to the rhythm of the music. She was on her way to the salon to get her hair and nails done when her phone buzzed.Once. Twice.The third call came with a message.She glanced at her phone, picked it up, and froze. Her hand swerved swiftly to park her car to the side.“ Madam, all the goods have perished.”Her heart stopped for a second. She immediately called the caller back.“ What did you mean by that message?” She asked, half yelling, with anger and desperation lacing her voice.“ We've been trying to reach you for days now, all the goods are gone.”“ What do you mean gone! What about the containers on the way?!”“ The agents handling the containers suddenly did not show up, so we had to arrange other workers for it but…everything has..perished and expired.”Cold sweat breaks out on her temple. She saw their calls but didn't bother to pick up. She has never been the one handling the processing of her goods

“ You know you don't have to do this,” Laera said smiling.“ See this as an opportunity to get to know where my woman lives.” He replied, smiling.Laera rolled her eyes and mumbled in her blushing mind, ‘It's just a month.’' My woman' —she loves it. When he claims her like that. The way it rolled out of his tongue makes her legs press together.For the past few days, the way he'd treated her, the attention, the affection, she couldn't deny what it did to her heart.How sweet he is, how attentive and caring he is to her. How he makes her heart race, how he makes her skin prickle with desire.She couldn't deny any of it. A month was gradually becoming too short. She wanted more time, she wanted more time to be with him.However, she's afraid that more time also gives people room to change. Afraid the beautiful memories she's building with him will get tainted.But beneath that was another fear as well. Fear of what would happen if Jeremy saw him, if he saw her with another man, especi

“ That meeting should be cancelled! How can they call such a meeting when there's no emergency?” Eloise fumed as she stormed towards the elevator with Laera’s step hastening to catch up with her. “ I think it has to do with his brother's trouble that happened recently.” Laera pointed, “ Are you being serious? They want to vote him out because of..” she gritted her teeth, arriving at the elevator, and angrily pressing the button more than once for it to open. “ Just keep calm, he'll handle this,” Laera said to her. “ I know he will. But let's see who would dare try or say anything foolish while I'm there.” Her tone, her eyes, and her fist sent chills down Laera's spine. She's never seen Eloise this protective. She glanced at her and all she could see was a she-devil who was ready to cut off heads that turned in the wrong way towards her man. For some reason, it made Laera's lips curve into a smile. “ No one is going to hurt Antonio, so you can take a deep breath.” She s

“ Why do you seem so much in a hurry?” Zade scoffed, stepping into the office. “ We have unfinished business to settle.” Antonio’s jaw flexed. “ Get out of the way.” “ Did you not hear what I just said?” “ There's no business to settle, you want the company? You'll get it, now let me through.” He pushed him aside and, hurriedly went out of the office. Zade's jaw clenched, his teeth gritted at Antonio’s attitude. What he wants isn't the company, it's the desire to see him shaken up, to let Antony know how he feels, his pain and anger, to let him see the ache he's buried deep down each time he sees their mother only pay attention to him. He stormed out of the office and went after him. “ You think playing dirty is going to give you the upper hand?” He yelled after him. “ Threatening the boards with the project, you think I still won't sign with them even if you cancel it?” No response. Except Antonio hastening steps towards the underground parking lot. The only thing that ech
