Semua Bab Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband: Bab 181 - Bab 190

Kiara understood nothing of what he was saying. She was still mad at him. She was damned mad that he didn’t trust her enough to share the truth with her. And yet, she found herself leaning close, hugging him to give him comfort, and probably to give herself comfort. But Killian didn’t hug her back immediately. Not until her tears began to dampen his shirt. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I’m so sorry, Kiara. This time, I am sorry for everything.”Why did he keep on apologizing when she’d been partly at fault? She’d falsely accused him. She’d been too irrational, consumed with grief. And now, she owed him the biggest apology.Because of her, he’d lost a company he’d worked hard for. If Greg hadn’t involved himself, Aaron might never have won that case. “I’m also sorry. For everything…”However, when Kiara pulled away, she found him smiling, not a big smile, but obvious enough though subtle in his eyes. Slowly, he let go of her. “It’s late. Go home.”Shaking her head, Kiara grabbed

“Mom, that’s crazy!” Maya exclaimed, giving the woman a furious look. “Whoever told you that is a big liar! Kiara would never-”“Hey, you can’t judge a book by its cover, Dear,” Stella defended. “I was just stating the things I heard anyway. Your brother shouldn’t have beaten her this much even if she has cheated. A gentleman doesn’t raise a hand against a woman.”Maya rolled her eyes at Stella’s words and turned to Kiara. “Here’s my advice. Leave that monster before he destroys you. Can you believe he hit me too when I tried to speak sense into him? See…”Maya showed her the side of her cheek. There was a glaring red mark on it, the sign of finger prints. They must have gone to the Villa first before coming here. The housekeeper might have informed them. “How could you call your own brother a monster?” Stella grabbed Maya’s hand, turning her around. “You were very disrespectful, that's why he hit you. You know the kind of person he is! Greg wouldn’t do this kind of thing if someone

“You!” Kiara couldn’t believe him. Thinking he was finally going to satisfy her curiosity by telling her what was happening, he sent her to get water instead. But neither her grandfather nor Killian told her anything until the food was done and they were at the dining table.Kiara cleared her throat, staring at them both. Killian looked at her grandfather first, and when the old man nodded as if permitting him to speak, he finally turned to her. “I’m starting my own company.”“He could have gotten a nice job. Someone could hire him to lead their company because of his qualifications, but he’s very stubborn,” her grandfather complained. “He wants to begin from scratch.”“It’s not so bad.” Killian chuckled, transferring food into the old man’s plate. “Working under someone has taught me many lessons. Besides, I’m grateful for your contribution.”“Huh?” Kiara stared at them both. Right, she understood that Killian was starting his own company from scratch. Although she didn’t underst

She turned swiftly, almost bumping into the man.Aaron was so close that to put a distance between them, she had to press her back against the car. Yet, he leaned closer, barely giving her any space to breathe. Her mind began racing with apprehension, the glint in his eyes making her uncomfortable. “W- What do you want?” she stammered, reaching inside her bag. No pepper spray. No. She’d forgotten it in her office. Only her phone was in the bag. “Is that a question, Kiara?” He placed his hands on the car, just beside her head, trapping her in between. “You, of course. I want you.”Kiara’s heart thudded. Despite the disgust filling her heart, she remained calm. “Mr. Anderson, I don’t understand you.”Aaron raised an amused brow. “Oh really?” He chuckled, leaning closer. “I thought I had given you enough signs. Come on, Kiara. Stop pretending as if you don’t know.”In the empty parking lot, they were the only people present. Kiara’s car was parked in a corner, and even if she scream

Glancing from Killian to her, Greg rose from the couch with a deadly expression. The same expression she’d last seen on his face before she passed out that day. Instinctively, Kiara hid behind Killian. “What were you saying, Alexander Storm?” Greg laughed, a mix of anger and amusement in his voice. “Your precious granddaughter just returned with the same man you claim she’s not dating in secret.”Alexander Storm…?“Are you out of your mind–”“Shut up!” Greg glared at her. “You’re really something, Kiara. All these months, you’ve been silent. It’s because you’re having a good time with your lover.”“Greg Stanton, I have called you here to clear the misunderstandings and not bully her further!” Her grandfather shouted. “So sit down and let’s discuss this like normal people.”“Stop pretending as if you know nothing about this.” Greg scoffed, grabbing his car keys from the table. “Since you’ve failed in teaching her morals, I’ll do the job.”“Don’t speak to my grandfather like that.” Ki
