A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 28: Miss me brother
Xavier’s POV I barely tasted the food on my plate. All my attention was focused on the woman sitting at the head of the table, smiling like she had everything on her grasp. My Mother. I watched her every move, which was deliberate, elegant, and poisonous. Each polite laugh, each charming word to the guests around her, was a carefully sharpened blade thrown with a deadly expertise as she addresses people around her. And Caroline. She was sitting beside me, silent with her food barely eaten. I could tell from the constant shifting on her seat that she was uncomfortable, but regardless, she wore a proud look throughout. Her chin lifted, her eyes burning with a quiet, stubborn fire. It made something twist deep in my chest. Something primal. Protective. She wasn’t supposed to be here, not in this den of vipers and lions that are looking for who to devour. And certainly not at the mercy of my mother’s cruelty. I have gone through it first hand, and I won't advise that anyon

Caroline povI thought the flashes of the cameras and the shocked gasp of the surrounding people would make me chicken out of the kiss.But no, I suddenly felt powerful, it was a last minute feeling that came over me.I allowed Xavier to kiss me. even playing along by going on my toes, holding his head to connect our lips well. His hands had immediately gone towards my waist, pulling me flush against him, as he deepened our kiss. It almost felt real, for once I thought we were actually a real couple. Even after we pulled away from each other, I felt dizziness in my head for a while, my knees had turned to jelly and I could hardly stand up straight. And luckily like he noticed he held me even closer like I was a diamond.but I know better than that.This was just a political move.He was given the public a show.And hell it had worked, his mothers expression was glorious, the top personnel were dumbstruck at Xaviers brazen action. Well, the plan almost worked…Not until his brother

out of prison Caroline pov A rough shove against my shoulder jolted me out of my thoughts. “Hey, bitch. Time to see the world,” the officer sneered. I glared at him but held my tongue. Normally, I would have fired back with some sharp remark, but today…I just wasn’t feeling it. Call it ungratefulness or mood swings, but for a person that was being released today after staying in the four walls jail for almost a year. I could have balled out my eyes out in tears of joy, but noo. The officer noticed, as he had to make sure I heard his words well, this time roughly shoving me out of the small cell that has been my home for the past one year. “Get up you lucky bitch, I hope you come here again” I raised my middle finger at him, before taking my dress from the counter. Not after the woman officer gave me a look of disgust. “Arrogant rich idiots, they always come back” she muttered under her breath. “Just wait until my husband finds out how you guys treated me…” I threa

Caroline povEmelda!!My stomach dropped.I stood there, my entire body trembling, unable to believe what I was seeing. My heart pounded against my chest so hard I thought it might shatter.It was Amelda.My best friendAnd the man I had vowed to love. Together.The whore on my matrimonial bed was the only person I trusted.She smirked, lazily covering her nakedness with the duvet before draping her arm over Nathan’s shoulder.“Oh,” she purred. “You’re home early.”The room smelled of sweat, perfume, and betrayal.I swallowed hard, but the lump in my throat wouldn’t go away. My mind continued to scream at me to turn and run. but my legs refused to move.Nathan had the audacity to look shocked, scrambling to cover himself. his mouth opening and closing like a fool caught in a lie."Caroline…" he breathed, as if saying my name would somehow make this less painful than it already was for me.I clenched my fists. "What is going on here?" My voice wavered, but I refused to let them see m

chapter 3: Eternal bliss Caroline pov Everything that happened next was a blur of actions. So fast for my drunk mind to process all at the same time. The lingering taste of expensive alcohol on my mouth, his intoxicating manly scent that continues to drive me crazy. My mind was clouded, but my body? My body knew exactly what it wanted. Him. No matter how wrong it sounded I didn't want to think. Or try to decide whether my actions were moral or not. This fire was burning beneath my stomach. I wanted it gone. We barged through the hotel door. Lips locked in a fierce battle of kisses. His hands roamed all around my body, firm and possessive, as if he were trying to map out every inch of my body. From my hazy vision, it was a room having a three digit number, but that was the least of my concern, as the door slammed shut behind us. Nothing else mattered, except this… Heat pooled beneath me as he trailed hot kisses from my collar bone down to the base of my neck. I a

Caroline's pov A dull ache ravaging through my head woke me up from my much needed sleep. The morning light streamed through the beautifully decorated binds…Binds? When did orisons suddenly fix binds for their prisoners?I tried to move my body, but a sharp pain that came from my joints made me realise what a bad decision it was.My body felt heavy and sore. Between my thighs were like they had been lit on fire. What had happened? I asked myself grudgingly, Was I still in the prison room? But the soft duvet was so soft and comfortable to the hard bench that was in my prison room.And again, when do prisons suddenly have a hard, warm body that was emanating a soothing heat.A man's body!.I gasped in horror. Jerking up forcefullyA handsome, incredibly hot man was lying beside me. I looked under the duvet, and my heart stopped.I was naked?With a ridiculous stranger. Immediately, memories of yesterday night started coming in like a dam that was opened.I remembered meeting him

Carlines pov Divorce papers. A hollow laugh bubbled up in my chest. “You’ve been waiting for this moment, haven’t you?” I spat, glaring at Amelda. “all the fake laughs and concern. Our friendship was just so that you could ruin my life and take everything from me.” Amelda stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper only I could hear. “You were already ruined, sweetheart. I just finished the job.” My hands trembled with rage. I wanted to retaliate, to scream, and most especially, I wanted to wipe that smug grin off her very painted face. If only I had known. I could not have thought or believed that my best friend would turn her back against me. And not just that, even helping to shove a divorce paper to my own face. “Ohh, well, just for you to know, I am already pregnant” Emelda snuggled even closer to Nathan. “What!” I could not help but scream out in shock, despite myself. “Take a look, you barren bitch” she flung a medical report to my face. And there was wri

Caroline povNathan!!My heart stopped. Literally stopped. Standing before me panting like someone who just ran a marathon was my now ex-husband. Nathan.He looked… rattled. His tie was loosened a bit, maybe to allow air to his burned out lungs. His nicely coiled hair momemt ago was scattered, like he never touched it this morning. And clutched in his slightly shaking hands were a bunch of green office files. his brows furrowed in confusion, like he hadn’t expected to walk into this. Me.His cold eyes locked on me, and then slowly shifted to the man behind the desk.Silence fell again, this time heavier, suffocating.“What the hell is she doing here?” Nathan growled, his voice tight with barely restrained furry, like I was his nemesis.My instincts screamed at me to run. But I stood frozen, stuck between my ex-husband’s fury and the silent, looming presence of the hot stranger behind the desk. the same man I had a passionate encounter with just last night.Nathan stepped forward,

A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 27: The dinner
Caroline povI turned, expecting to see some smug, elderly guest with too much champagne and too little manners.But Instead, the woman who spoke was a middle-aged woman who had a presence that made the crowd instinctively part for her.She was stunning, not in the soft, sweet way, but in a sharp, commanding way. As if the whole world revolves around her.Her dress shined like black diamonds, perfectly made, with her hair that was pinned into a sleek, flawless style that I know probably took hours to perfect. Obviously from her attire, she was the most dressed of all the guests..Every movement she made was measured, elegant, and graceful.Cold eyes, perfect makeup, and a chilling gaze . It was obvious without needing any introduction.Xavier’s mother.A woman who owned this empire.A woman people probably begged just to breathe the same air as.The moment she appeared, the already dazzling party seemed to fade by her strong commanding presence.I froze. Simply shocked and speechless
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 26: The Toy
Caroline povThe stopping of the limousine caught my attention.I stared out of the window in curiosity, and I almost had a heart attack at what I saw. The word “perfect" was too little to describe what was in front of me. It was like I had been telephoned into a fantasy mega city bordering between reality and imagination. The cleanest and most advanced city I have ever seen was spread out in front of me atop a huge cliff that was overlooking a sparkling ocean.Indeed, it was like I was in my childish imagination of what fairies land looked like.The car pulled up in front of a towering shining black gate adorned with gold edges that reflected back sunlight , adding to its beauty and grandeur. I couldn’t tell if it was the moonlight or the wealth radiating from this place that made everything glow. Either way, I was totally speechless.The door of the limousine opened, I stepped out carefully, my heels clicking softly on the polished stone driveway as I gladly feasted my eyes on th
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 25: let the game begin
Xavier’s POV The car sped down the highway, the light of the bubbling capital city streaming through from the window. People were gathered at each side of the road, screaming and yelling on top of their voices, causing chaos everywhere. “How had they know that I would be passing this road today” I didn't know I had asked it aloud until my p.a answered me. “Sir we tried as much ad possible to be discreet…, but” “Never-mind” I snapped, feeling sudden irritation. That was how I grew up. Under people's gawking eyes like hawks, as if they are there waiting for you to as much as mistep so they can swoop in. the lights of the city blurring past the tinted windows. But my head wasn't in the car. It was still back there, with her. Caroline. She was seated in the other escort cars. I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through my hair, trying to steady the violent storm that had stirred inside me just by being in close proximity with her. She looked like a walking demoness. fire wrapped
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 24: Going to the party
Caroline POVTwo days later…The room was filled with laughter and excitement of the maids as they fluttered around me like butterflies, fluffing fabrics, adjusting pins, and dabbing powders onto my skin with brushes that smelled like roses and luxury.“There! Hold still, Miss Caroline,” one of them giggled, adjusting the neckline of the deep crimson silk dress that fit like sin. “You look like a fire fairy dream. No, like trouble.”They all laughed again, and I tried my best to join their giggling group. I really tried, but no.I couldn’t.Bianca sat beside the window, pretending to read a fashion magazine, but her eyes darted to me every few seconds. She was trying in her own way. I knew it. She was trying to keep things light and keep my mind away from all the weight of attending this damn party. And the fact that Xavier hadn’t returned for two whole days.No call. No message. Not even a damn note. He had just disappeared after the night we had.It gnawed at me like acid every tim
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 23: The mystery dress
Caroline pov Feeling of satisfaction washed over me, warm and consuming. For the first time in a long while, I felt… fulfilled. Desired. Wanted. I stayed on the comfortable bed for a moment, wrapped in the remnants of everything that happened, the scent of his cologne on the sheets, the warmth his body left behind, the tingling reminder of everything we shared just hours ago. I reached out uncounciosly, expecting to feel the solid presence of him beside me. But… I touched air. Nothing. The bed was cold. Empty. My eyes flew open. He was gone. The sudden emptiness in the room hit me like a dirty slap. My heart plummeted, plunging into a pool of silence and confusion. The soft beautiful hlow of the morning only served as a reminder that i was alone. I pulled the sheets around me, sat up slowly, and stared at the empty space where he had been. A thousand thoughts clouded my mind. Did he regret it? Did I cross a line? Was it a mistake? The unmistakable fear I had felt last night
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 22: No Going Back
Caroline povThe Nightmare started with whispers of My name echoing through thick fog. Caroline… Caroline…Then, I found myself in the hospital. In the same room that my mother was in a few hours ago. But now there was a difference. The machines were blaring, and my mother’s bed was empty.Before I could ask around, a shadow loomed behind me. I turned.Xavier.He was standing behind me. But something was wrong. This version of him was all sharp edges and fury. His eyes glowed an unnatural gold. His face was twisted in contempt and scrutinization.“You let her die,” he whispered coldly. “You let your only mother die.”“What..what are you saying”I backed away, heart thundering at my ribcage, but my feet wouldn’t move. It was like I was glued to the floor.“You killed her, selfish daughter” he repeated, his face becoming uglier. “You didn't want the contract. Because of that, she died.”“Noo, leave me alone” I screamed in terror, turning back to run away.The floor cracked behind m
A Drunken Night With My Ex-Husband Boss Chapter 21: Chasing the shadows
Caroline’s POVI woke up to strings of sunlight that brightened the room. Bringing with it warmth and something else. Last night was a rollercoaster of emotions. Xavier had opened up about his mother and the real reason for our contract. Xavier’s quiet admission, the soft look in his eyes when he spoke about his mother, it had made me believe something had shifted. Maybe, just maybe, we were beginning to peel away the layers of tension and rivalry between us. Maybe he was seeing me as a real human being rather than a vessel to actualize his plans.I should have known better.Because a soft cough caught my attention, I turned my attention to see Xavier already up, but there was something about his expression. It was different from the man from last night.He stood at the edge of the bed wearing a crisp suit, with his expression carved like stone. Eyes unreadable. Lips pressed in a flat line.“Good…”“You’re going to see your mother today,” he cut short my greetings. Not a question. A
