All Chapters of His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

By Saturday morning, Irea arrived with Logan, my makeup artist, and Trina, my personal designer.They started their work, and soon, I was gazing at myself in the mirror dressed in a black shimmering gown that hugged my body on all areas, revealing just enough skin to turn heads.My neck was covered with a round shaped diamond that sparked, matching the earrings on my ears, and gold bangles around my wrist.I had on a black three inch heels with little silvers attached to it, then held a black purse where I kept all I might need to survive the event.Leo arrived on time to pick me up, and he first took Imogen to Rachel's place, before driving us straight to the venue, two guards following in a car behind us.When the car came to a halt, Leo got out and helped open my side of the door.He took my hand, and we both walked side-by-side into the hall.Our guards were asked to wait outside, as they didn't think they would be needed.The place was just as huge and beautifully decorated as ex

My feet paused on their own, but I didn't turn.The words however popped a question in my head. What did he mean?“Letting you go is the one mistake I can't fix.” He spoke in a voice so low, I found myself drawing in a breath.My eyes closed as I exhaled, then walked away, straight to the hall where the bride and groom were now saying their vows.“You took so long, I was sure you'd already ran away.” He took a sip of his wine, before raising a brow. “What's wrong?”“Nothing.”“It doesn't sound like nothing,” he stared over me, “And Drex's not in his seat anymore. Come on, spill it.”“Not here.” I said, voice barely above a whisper since the place had gone silent, the bride's own echoing through the speakers.Leo's lips pursed, before he nodded. “But you're telling me everything the second we're in the car.”I didn't bother to reply as Drex's words echoed in my head once again.The meaning might be unclear, but one thing was a certain. His regrets didn't change anything.It couldn't.A

“I have a feeling today will be exciting.” Leo said that Thursday afternoon as we dropped Imogen over at Rachel's.“Don't get your hopes high.” I simply replied plainly.“Oh believe me, my hopes are already at their highest,” he was leaning against the doorway, hands pocketed and a sheepish smile on, “I even had Evan clear my schedule for the day.”“You had better tell me every single thing that happens.” Rachel walked over, and the three of us left to my car.All I did was roll my eyes. When I told Leo about meeting my dad and his board members, he had been thrilled. He even insisted on tagging along, ‘I'm definitely not missing the drama bound to happen.’ Those were his exact words.I just shook my head when he said it. Either way, here we where, getting inside the car with a guard in the driver's seat.“Please help take care of Imogen.” I said to Rachel, and she nodded.“Yeah yeah, you just have fun.”Fun?The car roared to life, and zoomed off.How was I to have fun when I was go

“What the hell is going on?” Cassie's horror filled voice cut through the hall.“Drex! Why are you all over her, when you should be over me!” She cried out loud.I wasted no time, before wiggling free of his grip, my face in a deep glare. “You are crossing the lines now, Drex.”“There's no line when it comes to the both of us.”Cassie gasped, while I felt the anger rise in me. What was his problem?“You might be insane, but I want you to get something straight,” I kept my voice stern, “Your apology, regrets, and everything you just said has no meaning.”His shoulders stiffened. “You know it does.”“What is all this?!” Cassie ran both hands through her hair. “Why are you saying these things to her?”“Cassie, just leave.” His words were gritted, but they only made my blood boil.“Whether she leaves or not is not my concern,” I pointed a finger at him, “I have a boyfriend, Drex. And I'm not like you who'll shamelessly run after his ex when he has someone else.”He frowned. “Cassie is—”“

– Drex Drane –Ever since I got drunk at the wedding and Lisa's guard drove me to a hotel, I had wanted to talk to her.Badly!I would have visited her at her company, but no one needed to tell me how she'd react.Which was why when David told me he was stepping down and giving the position to Lisa, I felt a different kind of excitement. I also knew that it was my chance to explain my regrets on how I treated her in the past.She might not have cared, but knowing she was aware made me feel a lot better.A knock on my office door cut through my thoughts.“Come in.”The door opened after and Finn walked in, files in hand with his tab.“Good morning, sir.” “Hmm.”“These are the Ethric Contract, sir. I'll need your signature.” He gestured to the files, then dropped them on the table.“Where do I sign?”“Here and here, sir.”I put down my signature on each part, and he took the files. “Uh, you have a meeting in an hour, sir.”“Okay? With who?”“Mr Yusuf, CEO of the Inland Institute, sir.
