Semua Bab Bye Dear Ex-husband But It's Not Over Yet : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Lyra's POV Instantly, I caught a glimpse of Pearl as her fingers touched her parted lips with a dazed look. She cleared her throat and tried to avoid eye contact with me again. “Baby, let's get out of here,” she tried to deceive Caleb.Meanwhile, Zane's eyes narrowed with his head bent and fixed on the ground. “Drive us home. She's the one I briefed you about earlier,” Gary stated.“I'm at your service, ma'am,” he finally managed to utter some words. I know at this moment he feels like the earth should open up and swallow him.“That's great, Zane,” I cleared my throat and replied.“Let's get the hell out of here!” Pearl screamed this time around.“Oh, why are you in a haste to leave here all of a sudden? Is there something you think we should know?” I threw a sarcastic question at her.“Lyra! Don't say what you don't know. My daughter is not feeling fine, that's all,” her mother tried to defend her.A loud laugh suddenly escaped from my lips. “Why are you so tense all of sudden when

Lyra's POV “I know you're pained and frustrated. But you will live to regret this!” She added.I didn't need to ask any questions, but I knew the person she was trying to call. But let me burst her bubbles he won't pick up.A moment later, she drew near to her mom and whispered some words into her ears. “Count yourself lucky today! But it's not over yet!” My stepmother uttered, and her lips trembled.Meanwhile, I gave a brief laugh as my concentration settled on the idiot they claimed to be my father's lawyer who had been on his computer for what felt like forever.“Marc, let's be on our way to the office. I have important things to attend to! Meanwhile, I don't want any of you in my house when I get back!” I warned them.“What! Lyra! You're raving mad and you can't chase us out of this house!” My stepmother blabbed.“Let's see how it goes when I get back!” I dropped my last words and strolled out.“We shall see nothing!” Pearl finally spoke, but by then, I was at the door.My mind w

Lyra's POV “Come in.” “I'm sorry for distracting you ma'am, but Mr Cromwell’s personal assistant is here to see you,” Sandra said as she tiptoed towards me.“I thought you were aware of it, that's why I just came along with him,” she added.I shook my head as a glimmer of happiness washed over me. Zane!“Let him in,” I finally spoke.“Thank you,” he murmured to Sandra as she strolled out.“It's okay, you're warmly welcome,” Sandra before leaving.“Zane!”“Have a seat,” I added as I relaxed myself on the chair and glared at him intensely.“To what do I owe this unannounced visit?” I asked as he pulled the chair backwards to make himself comfortable.He cleared his throat as he narrowed his gaze and slowly smiled. “I know you're not here on the note of Mr Cromwell, your boss,” I added.“You know why I'm here, Miss Jenkins. Don't make things more difficult than it's right now,” he finally spoke as he displayed his perfect teeth.“What are you talking about, Mr Zane? I'm totally lost!”

Lyra's POV “Calm down, Zane!” I cautioned him, then he slowly released some breath and made himself comfortable again.“What the heck is that bastard?! Does he really know who I am!” I exclaimed, his voice vibrating in the office.“I know I don't need to spill any information to you on this. Your assignment is to make your findings on this man she's planning to betray you with and get back to me,” I revealed.He pinched his mouth together as he stared at me. “Is that all? Just that! Wait a minute! What's your interest in all these?”I gave a shaky breath. “You will know after your findings. Just get back to me soon and go to the main business!”“Wow! Since it's about this, then count me all in. I will strangle that shithead with my bare hands, trust me!” I yelled.“I will get back to you as planned,” he dropped his last words and strolled without waiting for anything from me again.Wow! Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! Let's see how this goes!My mind was floating when he revealed to me they're

Lyra's POV She was mute for a few minutes and couldn't speak as if a lump rose in her throat. “Let's get out of here, Marc! I got important things to attend to,” I said and stood up without hesitation.“Wait! Wait! Wait!” She yelled as we strolled away but I never turned to listen to her again. I gave her all the time to come clean but she decided to lie to my face.“You should have allowed me to deal with my own way. How dare she lie to your face and just go scot-free,” Marc broke through the silence in the car as we left the company premises.I had a brief laugh as my mind whirled. “Marc, you won't understand this. I know what I'm doing and there's no way she will go free for this. That's a promise.”“I know Miss Jenkins, but you should allow me to teach her a little lesson she won't forget in a hurry. She vomited the truth without her notice,” Marc added, his eyes beholding seriousness.I couldn't help but have a feeling that she was truly innocent. How on earth will she poison th
