Semua Bab My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go: Bab 21 - Bab 30

DamonThe moment Adrian’s voice came through the phone, it suddenly became so difficult for me to breathe.For several long seconds, I simply stared at the screen of my phone while countless thoughts stormed through my head.The report from my investigator suddenly felt much more believable than it did before because every single detail he had given me now seemed painfully accurate.Mia and Adrian were together.I reached for the beer sitting beside me and took a long swallow, hoping the bitter taste would somehow calm the ache spreading through my chest.But it did absolutely nothing to ease the pain building inside me.The image of Adrian answering Mia’s phone replayed repeatedly inside my head, and each time it did, my chest tightened even more.My grip around the glass slowly became tighter until my knuckles turned red.Before I could stop myself, I hurled the glass across the room with all the frustration that had been building inside me.The glass crashed violently against the w

MiaThe atmosphere had become so thick and uncomfortable that even the project staff seemed unsure where to look.Before either Adrian or Damon could say something that would make the situation worse, I stepped forward and forced a professional smile onto my face.“Since everyone is finally here, I think we should focus on introducing the remaining team members so we can continue discussing project responsibilities properly.”Several people immediately looked relieved.I quickly introduced the developers, designers, project managers, and technical consultants who would be working alongside us throughout the project.Thankfully, everyone followed my lead.Adrian remained polite throughout the introductions. However, I noticed the distance in his behavior immediately.He answered questions professionally and only participated whenever required.I could feel Damon’s eyes moving between Adrian and me throughout the remainder of the meeting.Every interaction seemed to catch his attention

He was sitting on the couch with his hands folded together. His gaze remained fixed on the rain outside.He turned when he heard my footsteps.“It seems you’re having difficulty sleeping tonight too.”I sighed softly before sitting on the armchair nearby.“Well, yes. It is difficult sleeping when your mind refuses to be silent.”He nodded in understanding.“I know exactly what that feels like. I experience it almost every night.”I looked away quickly, it was suddenly hard for me to maintain eye contact with him. “Then you should probably be used to it by now.”“I have tried for years, but it never became easier. Some things are impossible to forget no matter how hard we try. You are one of those things for me.”I swallowed softly and continued avoiding his gaze.“That line would work better on other women. Not me.” He let out a quiet laugh.“I wouldn’t say these words to any other woman but you. I know you wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of my mouth but I can only keep try

Damon The moment Athena stormed into the conference room, I immediately knew trouble was about to follow.I had seen that look on her face far too many times before. It was the same expression she always wore whenever jealousy consumed her.Now Mia was standing right in the middle of it.Athena walked farther into the room without taking her eyes off me. Her expression was twisted with irritation and possessiveness.“What exactly is going on between both of you? Is she the reason you’ve been ignoring me lately!”Mia immediately sighed and grabbed the files against her chest.“I truly do not have the patience to participate in this ridiculous conversation.”She turned around and attempted to leave the room. However, Athena immediately stepped in front of her.“You are not leaving until I get some answers.”Mia looked at her with visible disgust.“I do not owe you any explanation whatsoever. Take this up with your partner.” “You—” I immediately walked forward and positioned myself be

Mia I arrived at the retreat location determined to survive the next three days without allowing my emotions to become involved.That was the promise I made to myself throughout the entire drive.No matter what happened, I would remain professional.No matter how many times Damon approached me, I would not allow him to affect me.No matter how difficult things became, I would remember exactly what he put me through years ago.The moment I stepped out of the car, my breath almost caught inside my throat.The resort was absolutely breathtaking from every angle.Beautiful gardens stretched across the enormous property. Elegant fountains decorated the pathways between buildings.The distant mountains looked almost unreal beneath the clear sky.Under different circumstances, I probably would have enjoyed every single part of this place.Unfortunately, my mind was occupied by one person.Damon.That single thought was enough to ruin my excitement.I adjusted my bag over my shoulder and wal
