All Chapters of My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.: Chapter 131 - Chapter 139

GemmaI woke up and reached for Julian, only to find his side of the bed empty. I blinked sleepily and sat up, looking around the room. Last night was beautiful, especially the kiss we shared before falling asleep. I pressed my lips together, trying not to smile like a fool.Where was that man?I slipped out of bed and grabbed one of his white polo shirts. It was big enough to fall loosely over my thighs, and I didn’t bother looking for anything else. After tying my hair back, I walked out of the bedroom.A sound from the gym caught my attention. I followed it, slowing down when I reached the entrance. Julian was inside, working out while talking to someone through his earbud. I couldn’t make out most of what he was saying, but one word caught my attention.Life.I frowned.“What life?”Julian turned around, clearly surprised by my sudden appearance. He quickly ended the call and approached me with a smile that looked too innocent for a man who had just been discussing something he di

Gemma“Stay a little longer, Gemma.”I picked up my handbag and looked at Julian. “I have a business to run.”“You can spare me another hour.”“And who will run my business while I sit here entertaining you?”He took my hand and pulled me closer. “I’m sure your staff can manage without you for an hour.”“Then you’re sure of the wrong thing.”He leaned down to kiss me, but I turned my face, making his lips land on my cheek. “Behave yourself, Julian.”“I’m trying, but you aren’t making it easy.”I laughed and freed my hand from his. Last night didn’t mean I was ready to let him back into my life, and I wasn’t about to confuse one night together with something more. I wasn't going to let a man become the centre of my world again.“I’ll call you later,” I told him before leaving.“I’m holding you to that.”*****My restaurant was already busy when I arrived. The waiters moved between tables with trays of food, while the kitchen staff worked on the pending orders.I greeted everyone before

Julian“Who are you, Julian?”I stared at Gemma, but no words came out.She stood in front of me, breathing hard, her eyes filled with anger and disbelief. Her body shook with rage as she spoke. I had never seen her this angry before, and I hated that I was the cause. I wanted to reach for her, pull her into my arms, and explain everything, but I knew she wouldn’t let me touch her.“Answer me!” she shouted.I looked at the picture on the table. Joe’s dead body. The secret I had kept buried was now sitting between us, and there was no way to take it back.“Gemma…”“No!” She raised her hand. “Don’t call my name. Don’t you dare stand there and call me like everything is normal.”“I never said everything was…”“Then tell me who you are!” Her voice broke. “Because I don’t know you anymore.”I had faced men who wanted to destroy my business, people who threatened my family, and enemies who thought they could bring me to my knees. And I dealt with all of them without blinking.But standing i

JulianAll the hope I had of fixing things with Gemma crumbled after the fight we had in my office. After she left, I drove like a madman, too angry to care about my speed. I was surprised the police didn’t stop me.My anger was directed at Vincent. He had no right to drag Gemma into our problems, and I was going to make him regret it.But I couldn’t stop thinking about Gemma. If I told her the truth two years ago, maybe things would have been different between us by now. Maybe we would have been happy together instead of finding ourselves in the same mess again.I hated the thought of losing her. Before Gemma came into my life, I never cared much about my feelings. I knew what I wanted, and I went after it. But with her, things were never that simple.The next day, I returned to my office and found everything just as I left it. Nobody dared to touch anything without my order. Broken glass lay near the wall, a chair was still on its side, and papers covered the floor.I sat behind my
