Winning My Angry Ex Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Claire’s POVAfter a particularly rough and sleepless night, during which I tossed and turned, haunted by the memory of my humiliation at Jeff's hands, I had no choice but to go pick up my things at the office.One thing I knew for sure was that Jeff was going to regret choosing that nitwit of a woman over me.Also, as I told him last night, the two of them sure hadn’t heard the last from me. They would feel a hundredfold of the pain that they had caused me, and that’s a fact.Before going over to pick up my stuff, I had told myself I would be dignified today. I won't give any of them in that goddamned office the satisfaction of seeing how hurt I was by my sudden dismissal.So I dressed carefully, ensuring that I looked perfect, regal, and unbothered. If I were going to pick up my personal stuff, then I would look dignified doing it.That brilliant decision cracked the moment I stepped into the building, and fully shattered when I entered my now former office.For starters, everyone,

Claire’s POVSilence wallowed in the room for several moments, and then I spoke again, my tone bitter, even to my ears.“You know they’ll never allow me to come back. You know that better than anyone else. They frustrated me a lot when I was working there before. They were always finding fault in every single thing I did. They clearly didn't want me there, so of course, when a better offer came, I had to take it. That was one of the reasons I was happy to work at Jeff’s company, among others. That mother of theirs is such a wicked woman.”“Well, I’m sorry, honey, but I don’t have a say in this. You know their mother is the major owner of the company. I helped her run it because she wasn’t interested in doing that, and I built it into what it is today, but she did inherit it from her parents and has the final say. I did hurt and betray her, and it’s actually a miracle that she didn’t boot me out after she found out about your mother and me. I can't blame both her and your siblings for

Jeff’s POV“Jeff, please. Stop apologizing. You’re beginning to sound like me when Claire was after my life. I was always apologizing for everything. You don’t have to apologize. It’s okay. We’re good.”I stared at her in shock for several moments, unable to believe my eyes. Was Ashley actually laughing with me and cracking jokes? It was unbelievable, but it was also a refreshing change.I smiled at her. “Oh, well. That’s good then. I just wanted to get that cleared and out of the way."“No worries, it’s all in the past. Besides, I would be an ingrate to stay mad at you after the promotion and compensation I was given. Anyway, that was why I came here. I wanted to thank you, and also let you know that I’ve accepted your apology. I’m happy to continue working here. I understand the responsibility that comes with Claire’s former position, and I’ll do my best to fill it properly.”I heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear, Ashley. I don’t doubt it at all. Thank you.”I studied her

Jeff’s POV“Hi …” The little boy, my father's son, said, climbing my right foot with both his legs, and slipping a few times until he finally found his footing.Staring down at that small face caused a lump to form in my throat, and I quickly looked away from him. Eliza must have noticed my reaction, because she quickly pulled the child away, just as an unfamiliar woman, a nanny, I presumed, came to take the boy away.He waved happily at me as he was carried away, and despite myself, I couldn’t help but give him a small smile. He was an innocent child in all of this, after all.He didn't ask to be involved in this whole mess. I had only seen him once before, which was when he was still a toddler.Eliza had taken it upon herself to act as his surrogate mother. I had no idea where his birth mother was, and knew nothing about her. I didn't want to know either.Eliza cleared her throat. “I’m sorry about that. We rarely get visitors, so he's always very happy to meet new people. I'm glad y

Tom’s POVI was in another country when my entire world shifted on its axis and literally ended, never to remain the same again.I once had it all ... a booming business that made me well on my way to being among some of the richest men in the county, and even better, a family that I adored and loved to bits. I had always been big on family time and always being there for my wife and children.Then one day, I decided to expand my company and open a new branch in another country, something that was no mean feat, and came with a lot of challenges.Opening and overseeing this new branch took a lot of my time, and then some, but I wasn't one to back down from challenges.My companies were going global, and the feeling was a heady one. I wanted it to continue that way until we were known worldwide. Unfortunately, however, luck wasn't on my side. The new branch started well, I suppose, as did my other branches, and I thought everything was fine, but all of a sudden, the company started to
