All Chapters of After Divorce, I Became The Ex-husband's True Love: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Bellatrix's expression crumbled in a matter of seconds."Fuck no," she muttered, the words leaving her lips before she could stop them."Eh?" Thomas flinched at her words. However, before being given a moment to process them, Cillian stepped forward."Not enough room?" He questioned, lingering behind Bellatrix.She sensed his presence. Casting a look over her shoulder, she met his gaze and felt the urge to frown. But after little consideration, she came to the conclusion that he wasn't worth her emotion and strength.She'd much rather conserve it for someone who would.As she looked away, Cillian's gaze lingered on the back of her head for a few seconds before he swallowed thickly and directed his gaze back to Thomas.Behind them both, Damien glanced between the two of them and chuckled silently, yet, just like when he'd been talking to Bellatrix, spilling lies even didn't believe, it lacked sincerity.It lacked everything.

Sara took one look around the room Regina would be staying in, as she walked in, and she frowned."This...this is your room?" She asked, her eyes scanning the room once again, as if doing so would magically make the interior of the room morph into something it wasn't.The room wasn't all that bad. A comfortable king size bed was pushed against the far corner, a wardrobe directly opposite it, and a balcony window beside. The room had a homey feel to it, any one would have appreciated such a place.But Regina and Sarah weren't just anyone. They considered themselves to be the top of the top, the best, one could say. So, to be given a room so average, nothing like the master's bedroom they'd both dreamt of, felt like an insult in their faces.Behind Sarah, Regina brushed past her, bumping shoulders with her. She was pissed and didn't bother to hide it.She tossed her luggage on the bed with a huff and dropped down beside it, gnawing on her lower lip a

Twenty five minutes, two changes in outfits, one internal debate on whether she should go down for dinner or not and a single growl from her stomach, later, Bellatrix walked into the restaurant situated a five minutes' trek away from the resort.Nathan was the first to spot her, waving cheerfully at her before she rushed up to her."Miss Bellatrix," he greeted, grinning from ear to ear as usual.Seeing his cheerful attitude eased some of Bellatrix's bad mood. She smiled softly at him."Mr. Thomas was just about to send someone up to get you," Nathan pointed at the man who was already approaching them.Less than a minute later, he stood in front of Bellatrix and gave a polite bow. "Mrs. Laurent,"He greeted, but Bellatrix's eyes twitched at the title.She was growing to hate it by each passing day. She really needed to act fast and get rid of it.Tucking the disturbing thought to the back of her mind, she forced a smile.

While Bellatrix forced down her second scoop of food, Damien watched her, eyes narrowed and a flickering of amusement slithering across his expression.Clever, he thought, turning to face his own empty plate. Even though she's lied, she'd manipulated Regina using what she knew would hurt her the most.Recalling the look on Regina's face before she stormed off, he nodded, impressed.It worked like a lucky charm."You're not going to ask why I lied?" Bellatrix spoke softly, her voice cutting through the silence that had placed a veil down between the two of them.Damien glanced at her. Although she wasn't looking his way, he could tell that she was watching, observing and waiting for his answer.He shook his head. "No. Not unless you want me to."She finally met his gaze, staring at him for a few seconds before she looked back at her plate, the corners of her lips tugging upwards slightly."You're good at pretending."He gave a shrug. "When you live in a society like ours, it's a skill

Bellatrix arrived at the meeting point for the group meet up—the same restaurant where they'd had dinner yesterday.Thomas was already waiting for her at the entrance along with some of the other important employees that were required to be present for the meeting.He bowed as soon as he saw her."Mrs. Laur—Bellatrix," he greeted politely, eyes drifting behind her before he bowed again. "Mr. Laurent."Bellatrix didn't need to look over her shoulder, she heard Cillian's footsteps stop not too far away from her, his presence lingering like the heat of the sun you can never get used to."Did you happen to get your bruise treated yesterday?" Thomas asked.Bellatrix felt her lips twitch."I did." Cillian answered flatly. His eyes drifted in Bellatrix's direction, lingering on her for a few seconds before he looked around. "Is this everyone?""Ah, no, we're currently waiting for Miss Regina and–" Before he could fin
