All Chapters of His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Wait, what?” Cassie took a shocked step back as the guards neared them.“Don't touch me.” Trish snapped when one of them reached out. “Alright Alright, we'll leave on our own.”“Sons of bitches!” The two hurled a glare at me, and with a huff, they started to walk away.Not before Trish said, “It seems five years has made you forget who you're dealing with.”It was funny, because she clearly didn't know who she would be dealing with if she insisted on being a problem.I rolled my eyes. The two were not going to ruin my mood. As it was, I had a lot of handle.So, I left to get something to eat, then returned to the office and completed as many things that needed completion, attending executive meetings and paperworks that had to be sorted out.By the end of the day, I was exhausted.It wasn't until nine that evening that Irea and I left. She was clearly just as tired, but knew each extra hour spent meant an addition to her salary.I got into my car, and the driver went straight to Rach

My breath held, but I was quick to snap my senses back, moving away so I created as much distance between us as possible.“Don't… Don't stop.” I shook my head at my own stutter, heart starting to beat twice as fast.This wasn't good.Heck, it definitely wasn't.I had to clear my throat then try again. “We are doing business together, and there should only be formal… Just-Just don't stop being professional. It's best for everyone.”Drex raised a brow, and I could be sure the side of his lips was starting to pull like he knew exactly what was going on inside me.It made my fingers curl at my side. I didn't even bother to ask why he hadn't left like Erica.With a short nod, I turned and went back in, trying to keep my steps straight.I didn't stop walking until I was in my office where I released a lot of breath, hand moving to my chest.What the heck just happened?And why on earth was my heart slamming so hard?I had to take in extra breaths to calm myself.This was nothing. Whatever j

– Drex Drane –I watched Lisa speak in the meeting room, and desire stirred in me.It was a sight that managed to strike right at me. The way she talked. So much authority in her tone. No nervousness. Or uncertainty.She talked like she knew she owned the meeting. Like the ruler.That was one of the sexiest things I'd ever had to watch.It made it hard to keep this official. I knew I had to respect her boundaries and all that, but heck, seeing how beautiful she looked… I had to hold back countless times from pointing that out.Then suddenly she went silent, and excused herself.It was confusing, but I used that as an opportunity to clear my head.I left the meeting room to the elevator that moved me to the first floor.My plan was to leave the company for a while, when a voice came, unsure, but sweet.“You're the man from the zoo.” That familiar voice from behind made me pause.Slowly, I turned and there the little girl was. Imogen.Ever since my encounter with her at the zoo, that f

– Lisa Red –For the rest of the day, I could barely concentrate. The fact Imogen almost called me ‘mummy’ in front of Drex was enough to leave me nervous.And his expression… Like he knew something was wrong.I shook my head. I really couldn't let him find out.She was just too young for whatever drama would follow.“Mummy.” Imogen tugged my arm gently.“Hmm?”“Are you alright?”“Uh? Yes. Yes, dear. I'm fine.” I helped her into her nightgown. “Come on, it's bedtime.”She nodded, and said nothing as I tucked her in bed.It wasn't until I lifted the duvet over her shoulders, and planted a small peck on her forehead that she spoke. “The man from the zoo… he is my daddy.”“I never said that, dear.”“So he's not my daddy?”My eyes closed for a second, fingers pressing against my thigh. “I didn't say that either.”Her brows furrowed. “Was he a bad man? Is that why you lie?”How on earth was a five year old figuring these things?“Was he bad?” She asked again, and I breathed out a laugh.I

– Drex Drane –Lisa didn't waste any time.When she said she was going to send the papers, she meant it, because the first thing I woke up to the next morning was a divorce paper being handed to me by a female I recognized from the event I first saw Lisa after so long.“Good day, sir.” She greeted. “I'm Irea, Miss Red's personal assistant and secretary, and I've been asked to return the signed version of this paper by noon.”Damn, she really wasn't joking.The video was already trending, but I didn't expect her to be this fast with it.That was the last thing I cared about to be honest.I wished I could go back in time and change my words.This wasn't how it was supposed to be.I didn't plan on revealing the truth so early. It just happened that way. Seeing her get into the Leo guy's car snapped something in my head and I reacted without giving it a second thought.And now, I stood in front of this female, regretting my actions more than anything.“You really don't think I didn't proc
