All Chapters of THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN'T RESIST: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Author's POVThe second Adrian left the office, Julian fetched his phone from his pocket and dialed his friend's number. The mafia boss was not having it. He was in no mood to talk on the phone. And so, Julian found himself driving to his house that afternoon. His bit on his lower lip nervously as he drove to his house, his fingers constantly tapped on the steering wheel and his mind was filled with thoughts. Different thoughts about what might have happened that got his friend in such a mood. Something so bad, Adrian smirked while talking about it. It was supposed to be a smooth operation. The boys were supposed to get Adrian the previous day and teach him a lesson this time for going against the warnings they had given him. Just a small lesson that might last for a few hours or days, depending on how he cooperated. But when he'd called to ask how it was going, he was told not to call as he would get a call from them when the job was done. So he went about his day, thinking may

Author's povAdrian made his way back to the main Hall after being forced to watch Julian play with Leo who was still oblivious to what was going on. He'd been playing with friends before Julian arrived and when he did, he immediately switched with a smile. Adrian adjusted his tie as it felt so tight all of a sudden. The guests in the Hall raised glasses and toasted to something he didn't quite catch. The MC continued. "There will be a special announcement after the event so do well to stay back a few more minutes after the event and make sure not to drink to stupor so you don't miss out on the information that will be passed across."The crowd laughed at his words and continued sipping their drinks regardless. Adrian searched the crowd for Clara and he saw her speaking with some of the board members. He made his way to where she was. Waiting for an opportunity to speak to her after she finishes with them. Clara on the other hand noticed him first scanning the Hall and she knew h

Author's POVClara retired to her room for some peace and quiet but as much as she craved it, her mind didn't allow her to have some peace and quiet as all she could think of was the tough decision between herself and South Korea. After hearing the announcement, the first thought that came to mind was to ask the board members why her name was mentioned and what they were thinking including someone who already had businesses running in the country. But thinking about the opportunity from a wider perspective and with an open mind, she saw it as an opportunity to expand her company and learn from the Asians. They were also good with herbal medicine and she'd heard some rumors about regions like Jeollanam-do in South Korea, where people didn’t take medicines they almost had no need for medicines because they ate it everyday. Herbs were infused into their meals, brewed into their teas, and even shaped their daily routines. Their body was strong and protected from viruses and bacterias

Author's pov"Is there a problem Mr. Julian?" One of the board members who stepped in not long asked with concern written all over his face as he looked at the man who looked like he barely survived a haunted night. "I'm fine." Julian replied bluntly, each word was ennunciated so it stuck in their brains. "I just want to know what the meaning of the list that was released yesterday was." Again, silence filled the Hall as the men exchanged glances at themselves. The member who hadn't spoken before chipped in the most polite voice he could muster. "Mr. Julian, we understand your concern and confusion about the issue and we assure you, you are not the only person who has asked questions concerning the list of names, that is why we intend to release an official statement concerning that.""Was a secret meeting held behind our backs to select the people whose names were called yesterday?" Julian asked, ignoring the man's words. Again, they exchanged glances. Julian saw that but ignored

Clara's POVJulian was dumbfounded most of the time while I made myself comfortable and settled into my seat. With my back pressed against the chair, I asked casually. "Why did you leave the house early? Where did you go?" It took him minutes to process what I'd asked before he replied. "I went to sort some things out." I drew a pout and glanced with curiosity. "Was it something serious? Why didn't you tell me about it? Maybe we could sort it out together?" He shook his head. "It's not something we can sort together. I had to handle it myself." I nodded thoughtfully and shifted my attention to other matters waiting for me in the form of files and papers on my desk. And for a few seconds, I thought he was going to walk out of my office on his own seeing that I had other pressing matters to attend to. But he spoke after a few seconds of silence. "So, what's your conclusion? Are you going for the trip?" He asked, making me pause and hold back the eye roll that almost slipped from
