Todos los capítulos de My Ex-Husband's Boss Wants Me: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

"Miss Monroe, Mr. Knight said if you are one minute late, your contract is over."I was not late. I stood in lobby of Knight Holdings at 7:58 AM, old bag tight in hands, cheap shoes wet from rain.Whole lobby went quiet when I walked in.Everyone looked at me. Yesterday I was nobody, crying woman in boardroom. Yesterday I said yes to being Adrian Knight's fake fiancee while ex-husband Jason was dragged out by security after he gave me divorce papers as a birthday gift in Boardroom A. Now everyone knew my name. Scarlett Monroe. Woman billionaire boss claimed.Receptionist whispered to another. A man in suit stopped typing to stare. The security guard at main elevator looked away fast when I looked at him. My old bag — the same one I used when I worked two jobs for Jason's MBA — felt heavier. My cheap dress, washed too many times, stuck to my legs from rain."Miss Monroe?"I turned. Woman from HR, forties, perfect black suit, perfect smile, eyes checking cheap dress from shoes to hair.

"You're not sleeping anywhere else, Scarlett. This is not a request."I stared at Adrian Knight, heart beating so fast I could hear it.We just came back from his mother's house. Eleanor's voice still in head. "Wear family ring at gala tomorrow, or I will know you are lying."And now I stood in middle of his penthouse. His real home."Adrian, you said it was fake engagement," I whispered. "You never said I have to live here."He took off suit jacket and threw it on black leather sofa. White shirt tight on broad shoulders. Eyes dark and possessive. Looked at me like I already belonged to him."My mother is not stupid, Scarlett Monroe," he said. Walked closer. "If you go back to small apartment tonight, she will find out in one hour. Her people follow everything. Do you want her to know we are fake? Do you want lose everything?"No answer. He was right. Eleanor Knight powerful woman. Wanted proof.Looked around penthouse. Most beautiful place ever seen. Floor shining marble. Windows flo

"You don't dance with other men when you belong to me."Music still playing, but I could not hear it. Adrian's hand tight around my wrist, eyes dark as he pulled me away from dance floor. Victor still standing with hand out."Adrian, you hurt me," I whispered.He did not stop until hallway, away from everyone. CEO mask gone. Just jealous, possessive man."I saw how he looked at you, Scarlett. You are my fiancee. Everyone must remember that.""I am your fake fiancee. That was deal."Jaw tightened. Stepped closer."Fake? Do you think last night felt fake? When you said you belong to me in front of three hundred people?"Before I could answer, calm voice behind."Adrian, are you scaring my future daughter-in-law?"We turned. Eleanor Knight stood there in black dress, clutch in hand."Mother.""Scarlett, dear, come with me. Let this jealous boy cool down. I want breakfast with you. Tomorrow. Eight o'clock. Just us girls."I looked at Adrian. He looked tense."Mother, she is busy.""I was

"The divorce was never legal, Scarlett. You are still my wife."Jason Miller stood in lobby of Knight Holdings holding white envelope, cheap suit more wrinkled than yesterday, eyes red, no sleep.I froze. It was 8 AM. One hour after Chapter 7 exclusive announcement in Boardroom A, where Adrian said "She belongs to me. Exclusive. Only mine" in front of whole floor, mother Eleanor, grandmother Margaret, and Jason on knees.Adrian's hand tightened on my lower back, possessive, same touch from Chapter 3 kitchen kiss, Chapter 4 penthouse at 2 AM, Chapter 5 gala dance, Chapter 7 announcement."What do you mean never legal, Miller?" Adrian said, voice ice, calm, deadly.Jason pushed envelope to security guard. "Give it to her. Legal papers. My lawyer found it last night after gala."Guard brought envelope to me. I opened, hands shaking. Papers inside, stamp from court.Motion to void divorce. Reason: papers in Chapter 1 were never filed correctly. Jason's signature missing witness. Tina dist

"Scarlett Evans."Margaret Knight said my old name loud enough for the whole ballroom to hear.The name I buried five years ago when my parents died.The name on the screen behind me in big white letters.SCARLETT EVANS.Not Monroe. Monroe was my mother's maiden name. I took it after the funeral so no one could find me.For a second, nobody moved.Adrian's hand was still around my waist, but his fingers tightened. Same possessive grip from Chapter 3 kitchen kiss, Chapter 4 penthouse at 2 AM, Chapter 5 red dress gala, Chapter 7 exclusive announcement when he said "She belongs to me. Exclusive. Only mine."But now there was doubt in his grey eyes. First time I saw doubt since Chapter 1 when he tore my divorce papers like snow and said "You're fired.""Grandmother, you know her?" Adrian asked, voice low, cold.Margaret walked closer, walking stick hitting marble floor. Each step slow, powerful. Same eighty-two-year-old woman who in Chapter 6 said she wants great-grandchildren in six mont
