Semua Bab The Rebirth Of The Billionaire's Ex Chubby Wife : Bab 21 - Bab 30

AURORA WRIGHT The very last thing I expected to see when I walked into my office the next morning was a bouquet of flowers sitting neatly on my desk like some kind of romantic prop in a bad drama.Red roses. Too many of them. Too loud. Too desperate.There was a tiny card tucked inside, and even before I opened it, I already knew who it was from.Still, I read it.“For the woman I should never have let go.”—Ethan.I let out a tired breath, folded the card back into the bouquet, walked to the trash bin, and dropped everything inside without hesitation.He's still being stubborn... so stubborn.“Not today,” I muttered. “Not ever.”I barely had time to sit before it was time for the staff meeting.Everyone gathered, taking their seats. And of course, Ethan was already there—sitting at the far end, pretending to focus on his tablet.But I could feel his gaze on me the entire time.I kept my face neutral, eyes on the projector as we discussed strategies, upcoming audits, and department r

AURORA WRIGHTFor a moment, I just stared at Orion, waiting for him to continue. The tension in the air didn’t feel like something small. It felt like something that had been buried for too long.I swallowed softly.“What is it you want to say to me?” I finally asked. “What secret?”He didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he leaned back slightly, his expression tightening in a way that made my chest feel heavier.“Aurora…” he began slowly. “Have you ever wondered why I agreed to help you with your revenge plan against Ethan Slade?”I blinked.Of course I’d wondered. For the last two years... I wonder how he made everything so.easy for me without even the slightest hesitation or complain.“I mean… yes,” I admitted. “It crossed my mind a few times. But I figured you were just being kind because you saw how broken I was.”I said... but I wasn't so sure if I actually figured that.He shook his head.“That’s part of it,” he said. “But not the whole reason.”I watched him carefully as he inh

AURORA WRIGHTFor someone who always acted so composed, Orion had no business knocking softly on my bedroom door at 7 a.m. with a tray of food balanced in his hands like some romantic lead from a movie.It's been a few days since our compassionate night and I must say that Orion has some sides that I never thought he had.Sweet, romantic and quite charming. I still can't believe I'm in this... But I'm sure I feel something for him. It's definitely love.I don't know when and how it started but maybe it's from the very day he agrees to marry me.But, it's happening.. I found love in the midst of chaos.I blinked at him, still half under the covers.“Orion… what are you doing?”He stepped inside without waiting for permission, his voice annoyingly gentle.“Good morning to you too,” he said, setting the tray on the bed. “Sit up. Before the food gets cold.”I pushed myself up, covering my embarrassment with a pillow.“You made breakfast?”“Yes, Aurora.”He raised an eyebrow. “Believe it

AURORA WRIGHTSalle walked into my office later that afternoon, holding a cup of iced coffee and looking unusually distracted. Normally she’d be the first person to make some sarcastic comment about how exhausted I looked, but today she barely glanced at me.I closed the file I was reading and leaned forward, ready to spill out everything.“Salle, thank God you’re here. I honestly needed to talk to someone before I scream.”She blinked like her mind had been somewhere else entirely.“Oh… yeah? What happened?”“It’s Ethan,” I groaned, already feeling irritation in my bloodstream. “He came to my office with a huge teddy bear like some deranged teenager. And he kept saying he ‘knows’ my marriage with Orion isn’t real. He just wouldn’t leave me alone.”I kept talking.. and talking.Thinking about it now, I feel like my so called Revenge plan is leading nowhere.I mean, I started off so well but right now, I feel like nothing is going on according to plan. Perhaps, I'm deviating... or mayb

AURORA WRIGHTI stepped out of my office an hour after Ethan barged in earlier, still irritated but trying not to let it show. I had a site visit with a client and I needed to get there before they started acting like I was unserious. My bag felt heavier than usual, probably because I kept replaying Ethan’s stupid smirk in my head.I got to the parking lot, unlocked my car, got in, and tried to start it.Nothing.“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered, twisting the key again.Silence.I tried again. And again. The engine didn’t even cough. It was just dead—completely dead—like it picked today of all days to betray me.I dropped my head against the steering wheel. “Not now… please not now.”I reached for my phone to call Orion.The screen was black.My phone was dead.“Perfect,” I hissed. “Absolutely perfect.”I stepped out of the car and tried to think. Salle? Can’t call her. Orion? Can’t call him either. Taxi? I’d have to walk all the way out to the main road and pray one sto
