All Chapters of Love me back, Ex-Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Brielle stirred under the soft sheets and blinked into the early morning light that filtered through the sheer curtains. The first thing she noticed was the silence in the room.The bed was empty and she sighed in relief.Facing Ethan after what he said last night wasn't something that she felt emotionally prepared for. She wasn't even sure if he had meant it but those two words that kept replaying in her mind: You're special.It wasn't the kind of compliment that could be dismissed so easily. especially not when it came from a man like Ethan Rayne. Not with the way he said it or the way it sounded when he said it. It felt too real.Brielle grabbed the nearest pillow and screamed into it.Was she losing her mind right now?She had begged for his attention for two whole years. Had silently prayed for the tiniest sign that she mattered to him, only to be met with indifference. And now, after everything was broken, now that she'd walked away, he was saying all the things she had once dre

Ethan stepped out of his black Mercedes, buttoning the front of his navy-blue suit as he approached the towering glass structure of Rayne Industries. The sleek security doors opened automatically at his approach, and as always, the entire floor seemed to pause the moment he entered.“Good morning, Mr. Rayne,” a chorus of voices greeted him with practiced reverence.He gave no reply.The staff at the reception desk exchanged quick glances, but no one dared to ask questions. Ethan was known for his moods, but today, there was something different. His jaw was tighter, his stride more forceful.He passed Jessica’s desk without looking in her direction. She immediately rose to her feet, brushing invisible lint from her skirt. “Good morning, Ethan—”The office door shut behind him before she could finish.Jessica sat down slowly, wondering what had suddenly happened. She knew that Ethan’s mood was always cold and he never glanced at her but today was different.She could feel it.Inside the

Brielle checked her wristwatch one more time to be sure it was really 6 pm. Once it was confirmed, she cleared her table and arranged it neatly. Then, she grabbed her purse and headed out. As soon as she shut the doors, she heard the doors opposite her office shut too. It was Professor James. “What a coincidence! I was about to leave, too.” He said jokingly and they both laughed. “I thought you had a night shift,” Brielle said as she turned her keys, locking the doors. “I don’t do night shifts, Brielle.” He reminded, chuckling slightly. “I only do so when necessary. I value my sleep more than anything.” He added. “Oh!” She nodded. “I forgot you mentioned that a while ago.” He shrugged. “Come on.” He gestured ahead for her and they headed down the elevator together. Now that her marriage was no longer a secret, some of the nurses who were suspicious of her relationship with Professor James, were now a bit more relaxed while some still believed that she was an adulterous woman.

The Next Day.“The interview for the position of your secretary will begin in thirty minutes, sir,” Frederick announced, standing at the other side of the table with a tablet in his hand.“Handle it yourself and make sure you hire a male secretary. Women can be a little…difficult.” He instructed, his eyes glued to his computer screen.“Yes, Sir. I’ll be leaving now.” Frederick announced but before he could leave, Ethan called again.“Schedule a meeting with Dr Graham, the head doctor at Crystal Hospital. Make it quick.” He said and Frederick nodded, hiding his curiosity.An hour later, he returned to inform Ethan that the meeting had been scheduled and Dr Graham would be at the office in two hours.Ethan spent the next hour signing and reviewing documents on Rayne Estates' new contract with a Chinese contractor—a project he was sure would please his father enough to leave him to Rayne Estates.Being the last child of a wealthy family had its perks but, it definitely had its downsides.

Ethan didn’t move. He stared at Anita like she had lost her mind…like she had just cracked the most ridiculous joke of the century. His expression was blank as he could barely bring out an expression but it soon twisted into annoyance. “Are you done?” He asked flatly, his cold eyes shifting between Jessica and Anita. “Because if you are done with this joke, you and your silly friend can get the fuck out of my house. This is no place for mad people.” Jessica flinched at his words, tears welling in her eyes as she turned to Anita, sniffling loudly. “I told you he wouldn’t believe me.” She whispered to Anita, hugging herself tightly. Everyone in the room heard the ‘whisper’. Meanwhile, Brielle stood at the side, still dressed in her work clothes as she hadn’t had to chance to even enter her room. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she watched the scene unfold. She didn’t say a word but her expressions spoke loudly…disgust, confusion, and tiredness. She just wanted it all to b
