All Chapters of The Husband Who Fell in Love With Me Twice : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

JORDANMy fingers moved steadily across the keyboard, the soft clicking filling the silence of my office.Then I heard a familiar voice coming from my secretary's office.My fingers stilled.I pushed back from my desk and walked toward the window. Through the glass, I caught sight of Ashley handing Mira a file.I didn't think twice.I crossed the room, opened my office door, and stepped out."Are you here to submit the report, Ms. Smith?" I asked, keeping my voice professional.Ashley looked at me for barely a second before quickly averting her gaze."I already gave it to your secretary. She'll hand it to you.""Yes, sir." Mira immediately extended the file toward me. "Here it is, sir."I took it from her."Well, I need to ask you some questions regarding the files, Ms. Smith." I looked directly at Ashley.Her eyes narrowed slightly. "What questions?""Come into my office."I turned and walked back inside without waiting for her response.A moment later, I heard her sigh before her fo

ASHLEYI stood in front of Garrett’s door, holding a plate of pancakes in my hands.I sighed, glancing back at my own door.I’d already given Zara my word that I would talk to him. If I turned around now, I’d be going back on it.I took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.It rang through the apartment.A few seconds later, the lock clicked, and the door opened.Garrett stood in the doorway wearing a white T-shirt and grey joggers. His gaze dropped to the plate in my hands before returning to my face.“Hi.” I forced my voice to sound casual. “I… I made extra pancakes and thought I’d share.”His expression remained unreadable.Then he started to close the door.“Wait.” I quickly reached out.He stopped, looking at me. “What do you want, Ashley?”I swallowed.“Can I come in?”For a moment, he simply stared at me.Then he stepped aside, silently inviting me in.“Thank you.” I mouthed as I stepped across the threshold.He closed the door behind me.My gaze swept across the apartment, an

ASHLEY It had been three days since the night I agreed to go on a date with Garrett.The dinner had been nice. Nothing extravagant or overwhelming. We simply talked about his job, our likes and dislikes, and the things we usually wouldn't tell someone we'd only just met. He even told me more about his past relationships.The more I got to know Garrett, the more I realized he wasn't the kind of man I'd initially assumed him to be.He was actually a good guy.And maybe that was why I found myself enjoying his company more than I expected.I just needed to take my mind off Jordan. I needed to stop dwelling on everything that had happened between us and focus on whatever this new thing was that seemed to be brewing between Garrett and me.My phone beeped, pulling me from my thoughts.I picked it up and saw a message from Garrett asking when I'd be done with work.A small smile curved my lips.For the past few days, he'd taken it upon himself to drive me home from work. Even after I'd decl

ASHLEY/ SELENE “Shit,” Zara exclaimed. “I knew she was going to find out sooner or later.”I didn’t say anything. I simply dropped my bag on the nightstand."I mean, I get why she’s pissed,” Zara continued. “I’d be pissed too if my best friend had been dating my brother and didn’t tell me about it. But I doubt she’ll stay mad at you for long, so just give her some time.”She gently patted my back.“What did Jordan do? You said he was with you when Selene overheard.”“I don’t…” I swallowed hard. “Can you just leave me alone?”Zara looked at me for a moment before nodding.“Okay. Call me if you need anything.”She stepped out of my room, quietly closing the door behind her.I sighed and dropped onto the bed, the weight of the day finally settling over me.This wasn’t how I wanted Selene to find out about my relationship with Jordan. Now, it felt like I had been a terrible friend for hiding something so important from her.And yet, despite the guilt twisting inside me, I couldn’t stop r

SEBASTIANThe meeting had been going smoothly.At least, until I dropped the news about the deal I'd just secured.“I've finalized the agreement with Hartwell International,” I said, sliding the folder across the table. “The contract will be signed by the end of the week.”A few of the board members exchanged impressed looks.“That’s a significant deal,” one of them said.“It is,” I replied.The discussion that followed was productive. We went over the numbers, the projected growth, and how the company would handle the expansion. Everyone had something to contribute, and for once, there were no pointless arguments around the table.Then, just as the discussion was winding down, one of the older board members cleared his throat.“There is one other matter.”I leaned back in my chair. “Yes?”“I heard a rumor that you may be stepping down from your position.”The room went quiet.I almost smiled. “I’m not stepping down.”He looked slightly surprised. “So the rumor isn't true?”“Not even
