All Chapters of Ex-husband, You Broke The Wrong Woman : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

[Elena]"So Mr Raphael didn't tell you what the personal thing was?" Natalia asked.I took another bite from the pizza Aurora had ordered earlier, shaking my head for my best friend who was staring at me with that sweet smile on her face."He received a call and all I heard was Mom I'll be right there. He apologized and said he needed to leave and he'll give me a call later.""Well, I'm sure he'll call you back. I did search up his name and all I can say is damn. Aside from the wealth that man looks like delicious." Natalia smiled, winking at me.My brow creased. "And what is that wink supposed to mean?""I didn't say a word best friend." She chuckled, her lips stretching into a smile.I knew exactly where her mind was going. This woman would never cease to use every opportunity she sees to talk about relationships. The earlier she understands that being in a relationship is not my priority now, the better for her.They kept coming when I was in Seattle. Not one, not two not even thr

[Asher]"Yes boss, they are yet to reply, but we’re already coordinating with other decorators to reach out." The PR manager said, her hands clasped neatly behind her back.My throat tightened, a small smile tugging at my lips.I didn’t need to know that Elena had deliberately ignored the emails my PA had sent her.I paused, staring at the woman in front of me.What does Elena think about herself now? She gets to work with Raphael or any other company that reached out to her but didn't reach out back to my company?Is that her way of feeling superior? That she's now in the limelight and would choose people she can work with?Okay let's see how smart she thinks she is"Alright, you can go ahead and do that but make sure you update James with every change, and... is there any potential controversies we should be aware of?""No sir, everything looks clear." I nodded and dismissed her.My hand reached the intercom as I quickly dialed James' number.His voice came on the other end immediat

[Elena]"I'm sorry, sir. I mean… I… why do you want me to meet your mother?"Raphael leaned back slightly, his hazel eyes softening, the weight of something unspoken hanging there, like he didn’t want to share but had no choice. "My mother’s house—where she and my father lived for decades—hasn’t been touched in eight years since he passed. She refuses to change anything. She barely stays there, and the place is slowly decaying. Furniture aging, wallpaper peeling, little things breaking… yet she won’t let them be fixed because my father did everything himself. So she wants it exactly as he left it."He paused, his voice lowering, carrying a quiet vulnerability I hadn’t expected. "I want you to help. Convince her that you can handle it without altering a single memory inside. Restore it, but preserve it. Make it feel alive again, without taking away what she cherishes."His eyes didn’t leave mine. There was something gentle, almost pleading, behind the usual controlled confidence he rad

[Asher]"Dada, are we going to see Grandma one?" Darian asked as we stepped out of my house."Yes, big boy. We are."He squealed excitedly, thumping his feet in the air.That was his way of telling my mother apart from Vienna’s. Grandma one and Grandma two. Today it was Grandma one because, well… my mom wasn’t taking no for an answer for dinner.The dinner was supposed to be last night but we couldn't make it and I had to plead with her that we would make it up to her today.Vienna slipped into the passenger seat while I carefully secured Darian in the back. Once he was strapped in, I rounded the car and slid behind the wheel."Is she angry with me? Honestly, I wanted us to go see her but I’ve just been occupied," Vienna asked, her lips curling upward."She’s not angry with you. Why would she be?""That’s such a relief," she breathed out.I shook my head lightly, igniting the engine. But my mind wasn’t on the road—it drifted back to my call with James earlier. The email he had sent El

[Elena]It's been five days since my meeting with Mr. Thorne and the following day after the meeting, we visited the properties he wanted me to handle, and as he mentioned, he was starting me on a trial—just one property for now.I drafted the proposal right after seeing the space and he barely even looked at it before approving and asking me to go ahead to draft the contract.And about meeting his mother, I already gave him a heads up yesterday that I was ready, but he said he'll get back to me when he succeeds in convincing her and since then I haven't heard from him.And the funny thing is, for reasons I can’t explain, just thinking about meeting and convincing his mom makes my heart poundIt wasn’t the first time I’d faced something like this, and yet the mere thought of seeing his mother sent my heart fluttering in ways I couldn’t explain."Miss Elena, I think the furniture is here," Aurora's voice dragged me out of my thoughts.I batted my lashes as I stared around our new offic
