Davina.

This time I heard the sound of his footsteps approaching me before he even said a thing.

Maybe that was because he had no intention of being silent at all, because I am pretty sure that if he had tiptoed towards me, I wouldn't have been able to tell that he was close.

Only a little of my attention was directed towards the side he was obviously going to come out from; I had been too focused on the beautiful night sky, the garden, and also the change my life will take now.

It is obviously going to be a bigger change.

“Don't expect anything much from me, though; I had a hard time trying to get this one,” he said and stretched my glass, which was now filled to me.

I couldn't see what he held in his left hand; I could only see the bottle of wine he held in his right hand.

“Ok, I am not expecting much; be rest assured, and just show me what you got for me before curiosity becomes the end of me,” I urged with a slightly impatient tone.

Maybe not slightly at all, I guess.

  • After Divorce, My Wife Becomes The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 40

    Sitting opposite his dad, who was the CEO of a well-known company also, Alexander let out a sigh. The atmosphere of the office was quite intense. Although they don't have as much influence and popularity as the Charez empire, they are still a well-known company and not one to be toyed with.“So, the Charez’s girl is back?” Alexander's dad asked, despite knowing the answer to his question himself. Alexander answered nevertheless, “Yes, she is.” “And I heard you are the one that brought her back to her family after meeting with her randomly in one of your hotels,” the older version of Alexander pointed out.Anyone who saw Alexander and his father outside would see the obvious resemblance shared by the two of them. The only difference was that Alexander's dad had an older look, while Alexander still had his peak appearance. “Yes,” Alexander replied to him. His father, who had been sitting with his back facing him, turned the swivel chair he was seated on around slowly till he was f

    Davina. The welcome party my parents organized for me was a really grand one that even found its way to the internet. Videos were taken. I appeared in all the videos I found on the internet, but I could bet that most of the people that were watching the video couldn't tell that I was the exact one that was being celebrated.I stayed in bed for a while, and it would have stayed that way, if not for something that I had in mind. Which was to pay Alexander a visit and thank him specially for reconciling me with my parents. I rose from the bed to take my bath, and after I was done, I made my way down the stairs. “Good morning, Miss Statsha, I was just about to come call you from your room,” Charlotte, the maid that had led me in yesterday, said to me at the bottom of the stairs, where we almost collided with each other. “Good morning. Call me?” I asked; a questioning expression made its way to my face. “Yes, Mrs. Charez wanted to have breakfast today with you,” she answered. “Oh, t

    Davina. “Please, I am looking for the office of Alexander Astor,” I asked a young lady in the lobby who was sitting behind a counter. “Good day, ma'am, do you have an appointment with him?” She asked politely. I do not have an appointment with him, but if I give her a negative response, she would tell me to go back and set an appointment first. I know how this works. Well, if I give her a positive response and she decides to call him to confirm, there is absolutely no way that Alex wouldn't tell her to let me in.“Yes, I do,” I answered without batting an eye. “Ok, use the elevator to move to the tenth floor; it should be easy to locate his office once you get there. Just move to the one straight ahead,” she described, making gestures with her hand.“Thank you,” I made my way to the elevator. There were two elevators I saw when I got there. One of them has the executive tag on it, but the other one has the visitors and other staff members tag on it.I used the latter one.Thank

    “So, if I do not give you an answer, you will stay there all day?” Davina said with a questioning tone, a little perplexed. “Maybe, do you want to give it a try?” Alexander asked and leaned against the doorframe, folding his arms on his chest. He didn’t even need to give a response; the vibe he was emanating and the expression on his face were enough answers on their own. “No, I do not. What about the visitor you have in your office?” Davina questioned stubbornly. Abigail, the sole spectator, just kept moving her gaze from whoever spoke last to whoever was speaking at the moment. “She’s a friend and one that you might know of; just stop being stubborn and come inside,” he said and cocked his head inside his office. Davina let out a sigh; there was no use arguing and going back and forth on whether she was going to enter into the office or not.“The Alex I knew was never stubborn,” Davina muttered under her breath and slowly rose to her feet. “Stubborn?” A rich chuckle escaped h

    Davina. “I hope you don't mind me asking you a question,” Rocky said, adjusting her sitting position for the second time today already, or was it the third time?I can't really tell; I haven't been paying attention to the things she did. “Sure, you can,” I answered with a nod of my head. “I know you just got reconciled with him and the chances are low, but are you in any special relationship with him?” She questioned with a voice loud enough for only the both of us to hear it, cocking her head in Alexander's direction. That's weirdly kind of funny. Why was she asking? Is there something between them that I am missing? There is no way I can tell; after all, this is my first time seeing her together with him, and I don't follow up on things that have to do with the entertainment department. I was tempted to tilt my head to look at him, but that would have been so awkward and might be uncomfortable if Alex caught my gaze. It was awkward enough that we were speaking in voices onl

  • After Divorce, My Wife Becomes The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 1

    Davina pov Sitting in the restaurant with my family and my husband's family, I couldn't help but notice one person who had made it her life's mission to make my existence miserable—Courtney, my sister.Courtney had finished her education and had now returned.My husband, Sebastian, and my sister were eating and laughing, discussing things as if it were their first date, while I sat there, feeling like a third wheel—even though it was supposed to be a family dinner. I sat across the table, watching the scene unfold as I gently rubbed my small belly, which held the unborn child I had recently discovered I was carrying. This was supposed to be a family gathering, but as usual, I felt like an outsider. None of them even noticed that I wasn't eating, as they were all too busy listening to whatever it was Courtney was saying to my husband. I watched Sebastian gaze at Courtney with so much longing as she passed him the salad bowl. His first love had returned, and I was left

    Davina Courtney stood up to make her announcement, and the room fell silent as everyone waited for her to speak. "So, I just want to share with you all... I'm two weeks pregnant," she said, a smile spreading across her face. Everyone’s mouths dropped open, and confused glances were exchanged as they tried to process her words. "Then who is the father of the child?" I asked, breaking the silence in a mix of curiosity and disbelief. Courtney smiled before answering. "Sebastian is the father." My eyes widened in shock at her statement. "What?!" I exclaimed, standing up in disbelief as I tried to process what I had just heard. Everyone turned to look at me—Sebastian remained silent, and Courtney wore a smug smirk. “Davina, sit down. You’re embarrassing us,” my mother hissed, glancing nervously around the restaurant. All eyes were on our table now. I turned to her, fuming. “I’m embarrassing you? Not your whore of a daughter, who slept with my hu

    Davina’s povI sat in the cold, dimly lit cell, replaying the events at the restaurant in my mind. How had it come to this? Ending up in jail was the last thing I ever expected. Why did the woman I once called "Mother" hate me so much? The question burned in my mind as I leaned back against the wall, letting the memories drag me to a time when I was just a child. ---I was in a grand living room, the kind of place you’d see in magazines. My eyes wandered over the ornate furniture and glimmering chandelier, but none of it felt familiar. In truth, nothing did—not the house, not the people, not even myself. All I remembered was waking up in a hospital bed with a man and a woman watching me nervously. Now, here I was in their home, sipping on a juice box the woman had handed me. “Hey, sweetheart,” she said gently, her voice warm but cautious. She watched me as if I might break at any moment. “Hi,” I mumbled, taking another sip. “Do you remember anything? What happened to you?”

    Davina. Just like Alex had said, my parents really went all out in the welcome-back party they hosted for me. Both faces that felt vaguely familiar and the ones that I couldn't recall ever seeing before in my whole entire life filled the party. I couldn't help but think that some of them that visited only came because they had something else in mind other than to visit me to welcome me back.It was quite obvious; I am not a newcomer in this world, which is quite contradictory to what most of them would think. I know how it rolls in the business world.One of the reasons why people act all kind is because they need something or just want to be on the good side of whoever it is they are acting kind to. I had been on the sidelines and watched people act that way to my stepsister, all because of what they wanted to gain from her, so it wasn't hard to notice it when it was being done to me. The party lasted for a long while; after almost everyone had departed from our house, I moved u

    Davina“You will know everything you need to know once you get inside,” Those were the exact words my mum had said to me when I had asked her what was going on.Coming close to the house, I couldn't hear a single thing, but it was quite obvious that there were a lot of people in this place; the cars parked outside were proof enough of that. It wasn't just any type of car that was parked outside. Well, that was to be expected; the friends of the Charez family would definitely have to be people who are so rich also. Rich enough to afford any car they feel like affording without breaking a sweat. Just as I was about to press the doorbell, my mom held my hands. “There is no need for that, just knock,” she said to me and let go of my hands, which was quite a suspicious act. Why shouldn't I use the doorbell? I didn't even give it much of a thought, even though it was quite obvious that something was bound to happen, judging from the way my mum was.“Tell me what's going to happen onc

My mother, Rose Charez, was grinning from ear to ear on our way back. “You know, as much as I would have loved for the shopping to be just between both of us, I had no other choice than to drag the driver with us,” she said, breaking the one-second silence between the both of us. I moved my gaze from her to stare at the driver and returned the gaze to her after a couple of seconds. “What do you mean you had no other choice? Can't you drive?” I questioned and tilted my head slightly to the side with a teasing smile. “It's not that I can't drive,” she replied and relaxed her back. “Then what's wrong?” I questioned, out of curiosity, my brows furrowed, coming closer to each other. She exhaled slowly first and closed her eyes for a while. It felt like she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. “After you went missing, I was so devastated and broke
