All Chapters of Accidentally Finding My Perfect Match : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Edith's POV Without knocking on the door, I walked into Caruso's office, a firm resolve engrained in my mind.“Bambi.” The man uttered, a surprised lilt to his voice, as he stood up.“I have told you not to call me that,” I retorted, ignoring the way his intense stare sent hot thrills through me, “I am Edith, not an animated donkey.”“Right. Edith,” Caruso corrected himself, and him calling my name with his low, husky voice only worsened the salacious heat simmering within me, “My bad.”“I want our marriage annuled immediately. I am also no longer interested in being your bed partner.” I recited, placing my resignation letter on his desk.Throughout the entirety of yesterday after he dropped me off at my place, my mind had been a whirlpool of thoughts and emotions.It was just this morning that I was finally able to grasp the fact that I'd been sleeping with a crime boss for the past couple of weeks.That Caruso had hidden his true identity from me all these while, and would have def

Edith’s POV“Babes,” Yvonne called as I dipped into the packet of biscuits on her desk.“Yes?” I responded, taking a piece of the snack.“Correct me if I’m wrong,” She began, “You haven’t been to Caruso’s in like three days, have you?”My heart lurched at her utterance, especially because I’d been desperately hoping Yvonne would never notice or even ask about it.“You are not wrong,” I replied, the delectable biscuit suddenly tasting like paper on my tongue.“So, did you two fight or something?” Yvonne asked then smacked herself on the head lightly, “I almost forgot how wrong it is to input yourself in a couple’s business.”Feigning a small smile, I replied, “We are. But it’s not a big deal exactly.”“Oh,” My best friend said, then drew me into a warm hug, “Whatever the issue is, I hope you two resolve it soon.”Swallowing the bitter lump in my throat, I nodded even though she couldn’t see me, as I hugged her back.If only she knew it wasn’t a simple matter that could easily get resol

Edith’s POV“I’m done assessing the documents,” Willow announced from her cubicle next to me, “Should I send them to you for further correction or directly to the CEO?”At the indirect mention of Caruso’s name, I felt a weird thud in my chest, one that I chose to ignore.“Send them to him,” I replied, as I stared at the image my dad had texted me some minutes ago.In the picture, he was clad in beige shorts coupled with a brown Tshirt and a pair of brown sandals.He was currently sojourning solo in Greece, as mum had refused to go on the trip with him.“Looking sharp, dad.” I texted, before placing my phone on my desk to work.It had been a week since Willow started interning at Kingston.In contrast to my previous prejudiced assumption about her, she had proven to be quite a help, and also quite adept as well.“Okay, thanks,” She responded, “By the way, I have a question.”“Shoot.” I said.

Caruso’s POV“Gentlemen, the auction begins soon. Kindly get your bidding cards ready.” The announcer from the podium spoke, his voice reverberating across the room, through the speakers.I was currently at one of the numerous fundraisers that was usually organized by the Cosa Nostra, to help support war torn countries across the globe.For an organization that was built on committing the vilest of acts, the mafia could be quite charitable.Which was quite an irony.“The event is even more boring than it usually is,” Denzel grumbled from beside me, and Richard who was sitting next to him huffed, shaking his head.“Of course it would be to you because there is no bloodshed happening,” He retorted.“Exactly,” Denzel scoffed.Without uttering a word, I darted them a pointed stare, and they stopped bickering immediately.At times, I wondered if Denzel and Richard would ever grow out of their arguing rows wh

Heather’s POV“Everything looks great, Heather,” Edith said, her gaze darting around my newly opened flower store, which was bustling with the invited guests alongside customers, “You did a superb job with it. Also, Yvonne sends her regards. She had a date, so she couldn’t be here.”I had never been close to that twatty friend of hers, so I really didn’t care about her attendance.Plus, I hadn’t even pasted her an invite anyway, so I had no idea why she would assume I wanted her at my party.Leaning into Murphy’s protective hold, I said, “It’s fine. My wonderful husband here came up with the whole theme and design ideas. All I had to do was approve what I wanted.”Then, I looked up at Murphy with a smile which he mirrored before pressing a kiss to my lips.“I love you,” He whispered, before pulling away.“And I love you much more.” I replied, then turned my gaze back to Edith, hoping to see her looking devastated by the
