All Chapters of After Divorce, I Became The Ex-husband's True Love: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Cillian sat behind his desk, flipping through the recent reports for Lancaster's data.He had to admit, Bellatrix was doing a pretty good job at handling the company and raising its finances.The company looked better than it had in the past five years and that realization made Cillian feel a sense of pride at the same time, it made him feel like he'd made a mistake by giving Regina the money to buy all those shares.When she first came to him and told him all about how she wanted to help Joe run the company in his absence, begging him to lend her some money to buy shares to raise her standing in the company, in her words, it was her only leverage to make people respect an illegitimate child like her, Cillian thought it was a wise action.A good future investment.Now however, looking back on it, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. It was obvious that he'd made a bad decision.That amongst many other things."Mr. Laurent," K

"I'm coming along."Bellatrix blinked once, twice, then a third time. She parted her lips, but instead of words, a sarcastic laugh ripped through her throat."You're coming along?" She asked mockingly, folding her arms over her chest and shifting the weight of her body to one leg. "You're coming along?" She repeated, as if she wanted Cillian to hear his own words and see how ridiculous it sounded.He wanted to come along, why? Did he think this was some sort of vacation?Or was this just an excuse to be closer to Regina?The latter option had Bellatrix scoffing, a reaction that didn't go down too well with Cillian.He took a step forward, standing closer than he'd been in the past month. The scent of her perfume immediately surrounded him, tingling his nose in a way that made his heart do something weird.It fluttered and suddenly, he felt empty. Like the scent of her perfume alone wasn't enough. Like he wanted more.Shoving th

Regina's expression crumbled and her eyes went wide, darting furiously between the two figures that were walking side by side, looking every bit like a couple marched by God himself.What's going on? Why were they arriving together, again? She thought frantically, biting on her lower lip. Suddenly, she heard whispers from behind her."Mr. Laurent showed up with the Chief again today. He must really care about her to take so much time out of his busy schedule. I envy the chef."Those words made Regina's insides burn with restrained jealousy and raw hatred and she glared at Bellatrix.The elderly female met her gaze, but rather than the usual response, a smirk or something of sort that would taunt Regina like pin pricks, she stared coldly at her.As much as she loved toying with Regina, she wasn't here for that today. Anything that messed with her plans to get her father's company back, she didn't consider it fun anymore.Eventually, she and C

After her encounter with Sarah, Bellatrix made her way to the upper deck. The moment she stepped up, the fresh scent of ocean breeze slapped her in the face and her entire demeanor changed.Like a child exposed to an environment it always craved, her expression brightened and a smile crossed her lips, bright, genuine and happy.Like an excited pup, she took quick steps towards the railing of the boat. She leaned into it, palms pressed against the cool steel, as she stared out into the endless stretch of the beautiful ocean.The water sparkled beneath the afternoon's sun, and the waves softly crashed against the ship as it sailed, creating a peaceful rhythm that Bellatrix found herself closing her eyes to.She drew in a whiff of the salt heavy hair, holding it in for a few seconds, before she gently exhaled through her lips, opening her eyes again as she did so.The moment that followed after that, felt... peaceful. Almost too peaceful, too right.

After a quick tour around the ship, Bellatrix made her way back to her cabin.As she walked the quiet hallway, her mind replayed her interaction with Cillian on the deck. It remembered all the details, the feeling of his jacket on her shoulder, the way his scent had chased away Damien's own and even now, still lingered to her body.Like that was its rightful place, like it belonged there. With her.But that wasn't what disturbed Bellatrix, that little problem could be solved with a quick shower. However, what can't be, was the complicated feelings that swirled in the pit of her stomach each time she recalled how Cillian had stared at her.Just like the feelings she was trying to sort out, to understand, the look in his eyes had been just as complicated. But it was far from the usual arrogant or calm and collected look he always had in his eyes.If she dared be bold for a second, she'd say the look she'd seen in his eyes was hurt. Raw, hidden, but n
