Semua Bab Reborn: A Devil’s Deal to Ruin My Ex-Husband: Bab 41 - Bab 50

The sky outside was beginning to pale with the first hint of dawn when Antonio stirred. Blinking the sleep from his eyes, he looked down at the woman nestled against him. She was sleeping peacefully, her breathing even and soft, like a child in the arms of safety. A faint smile tugged at his lips. Her skin felt like silk beneath his palm, her slender frame curling instinctively into him. She looked so innocent like this—serene, untouched by pain. Yet, he remembered her tears, cries, the storm of hurt hidden behind those fierce eyes. And something twisted inside him—a need, fierce and unfamiliar, to protect her. Antonio followed the instinct of his fingers that brushed the strands of her hair off her face. She looks so beautiful, so peaceful—soft, like an angel in slumber, like one who never gets upset. His smile broadened upon remembering her angry, cute faces, but his face dropped when he also recollected the pains, the fears on her face, and her cries. It was strange, it was un

Antonio swirled the wheel roughly to the side of the road, and the drive came to an abrupt stop. He turned sharply to Eloise, his brow deeply furrowed, his fist tightly clenched and his heart felt a hard stab.“ Eloise,” he called, not calmly, nor harshly.She opened her eyes and looked at him. They held no defiance, no fire, just exhaustion. Raw with deep pain and stabbed right into his chest. His lips parted, and for the first time since his parents' death, his hand trembled.She had the same look his mother once wore. That look that says—I tried, I really tried, but it's over.He gritted his teeth and stepped out of the car, slammed the door shut, and went to her side. He opened the door and unhooked her belt before pulling her out of the car and closing the door behind her.She has her head down, tears streaming out of her eyes.‘ Stop, stop crying,’ he wanted to say but instead, he clenched his fist harder, his nails digging into his palm.He gritted his teeth.Why is he feeling

Mr. Luther licked his lips lustfully with his eyes glued to Eloise, he wasn't just staring, he was devouring every part of her body with his eyes. Waiting patiently at the lounge, he had an appointment with the CEO, but was told he was currently having a meeting with another person, so he had to wait. At first, the idea of waiting pissed him off, but not until he set his eyes on her. He had narrowed his brow at her at first as he found her so familiar. But there's no way he'd have come across such beauty and not remember. Mr Luther is a man in his late forties –maybe fifties if the stress lines were counted and dressed like the boardroom owned him rent. Eloise, whom he was ogling, was standing by the printing machine, lost in thought. She couldn't take her mind off what had happened earlier. ‘ Just who have I struck a deal with?’ She thought rhetorically, seeing the way he was so relaxed about someone's attempt to take his life. She sighed deeply unable to shake it off. The sar

Eloise’s jaw dropped. Disbelief coursed through her as she stared at the lady. Whispers from the employees echoed in her ears as her eyes moved to the HOD who was smirking and giving her a victorious smile. ‘ Why?’ She asked as she turned back to the lady who wouldn't look back at her. She's seen countless situations of sexual harassment, the majority refusing to speak up due to shame. Eloise clenched her fist tighter, ‘ there's no reason to be ashamed,’ she breathed heavily, but when she looked at the lady closely, she could tell she didn't lie out of shame. But why. Out of fear? She wondered how long this had been going on in this company. Eloise turned to Antonio, “ He did it, I don't know why she lied about it, but he did it,” she defended. “ Are you saying both I and the lady you accused me of harassing are lying?” The HOD said with a mocking smirk. Even though the lady was not asked, there's no way the boss would choose his assistant who hasn't spent up to a mon

Tamara's laughter burst out like a dam breaking. Shrill, unhinged, and echoing through the room with wild intensity. Her shoulders shook violently as she gasped between cackles. Thankfully her mother wasn’t home. She'd definitely think Tamara had lost her mind. Another peal of laughter tore from her lips, this one thick with satisfaction. Hanging up on Mason after that conversation had been nothing short of exhilarating. His reaction to everything she said? Utterly delicious. She had called him to tell him about her discovery. About where Eloise had been hiding, going ahead to tell him about Eloise's sugar daddy. Tamara's jaw nearly dropped to the ground when she saw Eloise get in the car with the man; Tamara doesn't know who the man is, but they both emerged from the company together. “ Is she dating another coworker?” she asked in shock. Eloise. Saint Eloise. Always so disciplined, well-mannered, acting like she’d never so much as flirt with a cockroach, not to talk of
