All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Briar’s POVA loud gasp escaped my lips as I opened my eyes. I swallowed hard, my eyes darting around the room desperately. It took my brain a few seconds to process where I was. I exhaled slowly in relief. The nightmare had me running for my life. checked the time and I only have about two hours to get ready for work. Peeling the sheet off me, I staggered towards the bathroom almost losing my footing. Staring at my disheveled hair in the mirror. My face already looks stressed and it's only been twenty-four hours of resuming work. I was quite on edge all through yesterday and only did my best to keep calm just so I wouldn’t get my friends worried. They already suspected that I wasn’t in a good state of mind. I tried not to get myself bothered about the fact that I am working in my ex-husband's company. It's just work, it can’t be beyond that. And I am sure he wouldn’t think much about knowing me. I never mattered to him from the beginning, nothing must have changed. Now that I think

Briar’s POV“Come here, you!” Liam called out to Knox in a monster voice as they played the game of chase. “Noooo!” Knox screamed amidst laughter when he got tackled to the ground. They can be quite noisy when at it. But I have learned to get used to it. Moreover, I really enjoy seeing Knox so happy with him. No matter how hard I try to keep them away from each other to avoid any misunderstanding, it feels like a punishment to each of them. Knox had fallen sick for a whole week about two years ago when I had an argument with Liam and told him not to try to contact my child or me. Liam had pleaded that I shouldn’t bring our adult problems into the child’s life. But I was determined. It happened to be the only way to break them apart as they were getting too close for comfort. However, I had to accept the situation and allow Liam to visit. His presence practically brought Knox back to life. He was chatty and ate all the meals he refused before Liam’s arrival. It didn’t take long bef

Briar’s POV“Hey, you. Do you have a moment?” I peeked from behind the door.Liam nodded, “Of course, you can come in. What’s up?” Thinning my lips, I revealed that document behind me placing it on the table. “I actually need you to help sign this.” He arched a brow, reaching for the document to read through. “Oh, Knox pickup authorization list.” “Yeah and medical record consent. I already wrote down his immunization records and allergies. Your signature is all that is needed.” I added. “You know with Gina being here, we have to notify the school of the other people who can pick him up.” He pursed his lips for a few seconds before letting out a long breath. Liam took his work glasses off his face and folded his arms. His eyes stared right into my soul. “Why do you keep doing this to me, Briar?” Liam inquired. I blinked slowly, “D….did I do something wrong?” “Not exactly. I am just surprised that despite the important part I play in Knox’s life you rebuke him from calling me, Da

Briar’s POV“Anita, please. Can I have a word with him? To at least know where the problem really is.” I pleaded. Anita let out a soft exhale. “I can’t help you, Briar. He already gave his note and says he doesn’t want to see you around here until there is a proper correction made.” “What correction?” I whined, feeling frustrated. “I think it will be best if you get to it soon. He wants the proposal handed over in the next two days.” “Are you serious?” I blurted in disbelief. “Just two days?” Anita looked bored with me. “Please, Briar. Can you just go now?” I stood there for a few seconds, stared down at the sticky note on the document that I had submitted this morning with “TRASH” written in block letters, and felt my heart tear apart. That dickhead! I bet he didn’t even care to look through it. This is the third time he has rejected my design proposal with no proper correction. He just asks to create another concept. For the second submission, Adrian flipped through it right i

Briar’s POV“He rejected it again!” Rissa hollered, her face morphing in anger. “The secretary didn’t even take it from me. I was turned away before I could make my point.” I replied, downing the tequila shot I ordered. Liam snatched the glass from me with a warning glare. “Now I am convinced he hates you. He definitely has something against you.” She slapped the table. After working my bones to a point of no return. Racking my brain without mercy to pull out something I thought might be incredible. Adrian decided it still wasn’t good enough. Actually, he didn’t bother to check. Now he has given me another time to work on it. A week this time around. My last chance to make things right as I am already delaying the project from starting out. A memo was sent to our email stating that my performance will determine whether I will continue with the team or not. Just the perfect news I needed to hear. “I probably shouldn’t have relocated down here. I should have stayed back and lived my
