Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother : Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

SASHA’S POVDinner was tense. Noah acted like all was well and I could feel Elisabeth’s curious stares burning at the side of my face.“Sasha, let's leave the men to be men. Come on. I would like to show you what I have done to the garden,” she said, stretching out her hand towards me.I wasn’t a fool; I knew that this was her way of trying to get me alone with her. She could see the emotions swirling in my eyes. I stole one flickering glance at Noah, wondering if he would interject and say we had somewhere to go.But he didn’t, rather he smiled as he placed a soft kiss on the back of my hand as he watched me leave with her.“Are you alright?” Elisabeth asked the minute we walked down the hallway. “I am sorry I missed your show, but from the bits that I picked up, I guess the world is still fawning over you.”I smiled, “It is fine, I totally understand. You had a lot on your plate,”The garden looked more beautiful than I remembered. I gasped, my eyes widening as I looked at the littl

AUTHOR’S POV“Just a gentle reminder, you should probably add the latest Tesla Cyber truck to the douceur you will be giving me in five days,”Anastasia stared at the message with trembling hands, her breath shaky as she tried to process what she had just read. This was the third request in the space of one day. It wasn’t even the absurdity of the request that shocked her. It was the deadbolt realisation that Roman wasn’t trying to hide the fact that he wanted her caught.She wasn’t new to his games; she had seen him do much more with people who had done trivial things. “Damn stupid for thinking that we were partners,” she grumbled, tossing the phone away from her side.Her engagement was in five days, and she had yet to sort out a few details. Yet here she was, with a notepad in hand, trying to figure out how to do a damn heist.The soft knock echoed through the door, snapping her out of her inner turmoil, “A minute,” she muttered, trying to drop the notepad in the most inconspicuous

SASHA’S POVTwo days later.I wasn’t sure if this was a game of peekaboo, because one minute I had him and the next I was literally running around trying to find him.Jade walked into the office, her usual smile fixed on her face, “You wanted to see me,” Her voice snapped me out of my daze.“Yes, sorry, what do you need?” I asked, my cheeks flushed, embarrassed at the way she had walked in on me.“Is everything okay? You don’t look…”“It is fine, I am just going through one of those days,” I said, waving my hand dismissively with an awkward smile plastered on my face.“Okay,” she replied, but she looked at me like she didn’t believe a word that came from my mouth. “What do you need from me?" she asked in a professional tone."Here, this is a sample design I want made, I just need you to go over it with the tech team and get back to me,”Her eyes glinted with something, her smile widening, “What about the other one?” she pointed to the one on the table.“This isn’t completed, just some

NOAH’S POV“You have to get out of here man,” Troy groaned, glaring hard at me. “You can seriously think that I will let you hide in my home,” he hissed.I rolled over, hiding my head between the pillows, “Isn’t that what you wanted? To get me to my senses and then I can get Sasha out of my hair?”He laughed, “So successful, and yet so stupid. I only needed you to open your eyes to the fact that you have the best woman in the world and you are slowly going to lose her if you don’t act right,”“Well, I guess she wouldn’t care now, in just a few months I will be done with the Conrads and we can end our contact,” I muttered, my eyes widening as the words slipped out.“What contract?” Troy asked.Shit! There I go again, saying the things that I shouldn’t. But that was it, with Sasha it feels like my brain isn’t functioning and I just let out the words without actively thinking it through.“Forget I said anything,” I muttered, standing from the bed. But Troy wasn’t Sasha, he wasn’t going t

SASHA’S POVNina sat by the corner, her eyes taking me in. There was no judgment, just pity and a few stray tears. “So, what you are saying is that after this event, you will run?”I sighed, leaning my head against the headboard, “I am not running…. I just think there is nothing here for me and staying in the same house as him is only going to…” I paused; lost on the word that I should have used.“I will find a nice place to stay and away from public eyes…. When the one year is done, we can go our separate ways,”Nina was sometimes too nice as much as she can be blunt. But tonight, it was looking like she was leaning closer into her sympathetic side.“What happened? Did Noah say something?” she asked.My breath hitched at the sound of his name. “No, I just think I need to have a few minutes to myself,”I needed more than just a few minutes alone. I needed a decade away from him, enough time to be able to pick up the pieces that Noah had shattered. All done unintentionally and now, I c
