Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dear Ex-Husband, Your Enemy Wants Me : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

SerenaI arrive outside the Arison hotel in my town car. It is my first public appearance in over a year, but tonight, everything changes. I am here for two reasons and two reasons only. Firstly, I have my eyes on someone and secondly, because I know my ex-husband and his new fiancée will be here, aka my ex-best friend, since it is his family who owns it. I have vanished for a year. I am sure they believe they won’t ever see me again. I can’t wait to see their faces. I am not the same woman from a year ago. Tonight is their engagement party.My driver comes around to open the door, and I step out. The second I do, all cameras are on me. I smooth out my designer dress, fluff my hair and walk by the press with confidence, ignoring their questions fired at me. The second I walk into the ballroom, all eyes are on me. Some people are shocked to see me, others are not happy, but I don’t care. I am here for a purpose. I smile sweetly and pivot through the crowd. Everything whispers as I pass

ConallI knew the second Serena approached and got flirty, she was after something. Not like I mind. I will happily help her.Serena rests her lips at my ear. The warmth of her breath against my skin is enough to make me shudder. “How about right now. Shall we give them something else to talk about?” she purrs, kissing below my ear.I moan and nod. Serena comes face-to-face with me again. I don’t waste another minute. I grasp her face in my hand and claim her lips in mine. Oh, I have fantasised about this more than once. She whimpers into my lips, placing her hand on my cheek and kisses back. Our lips work in perfect sync. Her lips are so soft and warm. I put a little more pressure on her lips, and she doesn’t seem to mind. We are putting on a great show.“What the fuck do you think you are doing?”I would recognise that angry voice anywhere. Serena smirks into my lips before she parts from the kiss. We focus our attention on Henry.“Kissing, what does it look like? Not like it is any

SerenaIt is two in the morning when I arrive home. My night with Conall turned out to be a lot of fun. We drank, talked, laughed and went to the diner for some burgers before he dropped me off at home. It was nice to get out. It has been a long time since I have had a night out. My plan is in motion, and I’m eager to see it unfold.Tonight, it couldn’t have gone any better. Henry’s face when he saw me getting cosy with his brother was the best part of the night. He wasn’t expecting me to come back. That is why I chose the element of surprise and never told a soul of my return.I lock up and get ready for bed, climbing in to settle down for the night. Yes, things went well this evening, but seeing Henry again and being in that world was enough to bring back the bad memories. I try not to think about the day my life changed forever, much less recently, but sometimes it creeps up without warning. I sigh, staring at the ceiling, and everything comes to mind. My memories from a year ago da

SerenaConall and I settled down on the sofa in his office.“Has he been acting like an asshole towards you all day?” I ask, setting our lunch out on the table.“Yes. He tried to take a swing at me this morning, but I managed to stop him. He has honestly convinced himself that he is going to get you back.”I roll my eyes even at the thought. The idea of his lips, hands or any part of his body near me is enough to make my skin crawl. I shudder at the thought.“He has a better chance of hell freezing over. I am sorry he is taking his anger out on you.”Conall shrugs. “I honestly don’t care. I can handle him.”We don’t even get a chance to start our lunch before Conall’s office door swings open and a fuming Henry comes in. If looks could kill, Conall would be dead.“Can we help you? We are busy.” I say, emotionless.“Yes, I have had enough of whatever game you two are playing.” He snarls, glaring between us.I can’t work out who he is madder at; me or Conall. Conall goes to stand, but I

ConallI have been waiting patiently to hear from Serena for most of the evening, but I haven’t heard anything. She said she would call me, but she must have changed her mind. I am disappointed. I wanted to see her, just the two of us, with no other reason than to spend time together. No, it isn’t part of our deal, but we can still hang out. More than once, I have gone to reach out to her but changed my mind. I don’t want to seem needy. I sigh and toss my cell aside, beginning to feel pathetic with how much time I have been staring at it, hoping she will be in contact.Only moments after setting my cell down, it begins to ring. I glance down and smirk when Serena’s name flashes on my screen. I am surprised because it is late. It is nearly midnight. I thought she would have been sleeping. I grab it and answer it quickly.“Conall!” she chirps, followed by a giggle.She sounds drunk.“Hey, sweetness. Are you drunk?” I ask.“A little. It was supposed to be a business dinner, but it turned
