Semua Bab Dear Ex, Time For Retribution: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chapter 12Aria walked along the deserted road, feeling as if her soul had just left her body. She thought that she was strong enough to face Mark and Talia, but she was absolutely wrong.Seeing them together filled her with so much pain that she did not feel like staying alive.Talia’s taunting words and Mark’s humiliation. He even accused her of cheating on him. How dare he?Did he really think that everyone was as shameless as he was?Aria walked to a certain park that she liked to visit and sat on a bench. Her shoulders trembled as she let her tears fall freely.The pain was too much to bear, and she just wanted to let it all out.After an indefinite amount of time had passed, someone handed her a white handkerchief.A cool voice was heard above her head, “Some people are not worth you crying over. It will only excite them if they see your pain.”Aria looked up with her puffed eyes. Seeing Damian standing right in front of her eyes, draped in his perfectly ironed business suit, Ar

Chapter 14Once they reached the house, Aria headed directly to her room. The moment she closed the door, she leaned against it as she patted her chest.What did she do in the restaurant? Had she just kissed Damian?She touched her lips, but she quickly removed her hand as if her fingers had caught fire.Had she just broken one of the rules she had written with her hands?Although a long time had passed, her heart was yet to calm down. What did this mean? Was she even normal?Aria walked to the bathroom and stood under the shower. She opened the tap for cold water, and it was only after she had been drenched did she felt like her head had cleared.But thank goodness Damian understood, or else, she might have been in deep trouble.She did not want the man to think that she was having any funny feelings for him. That would make their relationship extremely awkward.Aria fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She had been emotionally drained, and she could no longer keep her eye

Chapter 16Aria was shocked, but since Damian had given her the green light, she did not dare waste the chance. She immediately changed into official clothes and left the house with her file.The company was not far from where Damian stayed, so it was not long before she arrived at DHL Group of Industries.Looking at the tall building that stood quietly in the middle of the city, Aria felt immense pressure.Although Mark’s company was also big, it was nothing in comparison to this. No wonder the two men have never seen eye to eye.They have always tried to outdo each other in everything, but after seeing Damian’s company, Aria felt as if Mark was too egoistic.This was her first time here, and she could already feel the mounting pressure and the hard work that was required in order to stay at the top.Aria took a deep breath and entered the gates of DHL Group of Industries. With every step she took, she felt as if she was slowly making her way into Damian’s Hall life.She reached the

Chapter 18“Wow, no wonder they are the best in the field. I don’t think anyone can compete with them.”“They have indeed done their research, and looking at how pleased the government officials are, I think that we can already guess who the winner is.”The people started discussing after Talia finished her presentation. Seeing everyone applaud her, she felt so happy that she almost thought that she was some kind of a superstar.She never imagined that being in the limelight would feel this good.“Thank you, everyone. This project really means a lot to us, and we hope that we can get it that way; we would be able to better the lives of people in the country by providing job opportunities.”Mark went to the stage and helped Talia down. He looked at her proudly, “You did amazing just now. I am certain that we are definitely going to get the tender.”“Oh, babe, I was just doing my job. I told you that I would never let you down, and I don’t plan on going back on my word.”“Good.”“But ba

Chapter 20‘Aria, let us get our marriage registered tomorrow.’Aria thought that she was hearing things. She looked at Damian with a questioning gaze.“Mark already knows that you work for my company now. I don’t know how he is going to retaliate, so we need to be prepared.”“Uhm-hmm. You said that you have someone who could help us get a fake marriage certificate. I think that you should get it done.”“Why get a fake one?” Damian mumbled, “I want you to be mine, and mine alone.”“What did you just say?”“Oh, it is nothing. I will get it done.”When they reached the hotel, all the employees were waiting.When they saw Damian and Aria enter, they could not help but scream out loud. Those who had wanted Aria to fail could not even look her in the eyes.“Wow, Ms. Winter, you were so amazing. You are so young, but the things you delivered were out of this world. You are a genius.”“Thank you.” Aria nodded politely.She was not used to such kind of gatherings, so she was very uncomfortabl
