Chapter 4 Peace offering

2025-02-14 16:40:26*MILENA*
My condo was very spacious and the view was fantastic.
I was so going to enjoy sitting on the balcony and watching the nightlife.
I was having a good feeling about this place.
And then I thought about the nice neighbor I had just snubbed.
The dude didn’t even do anything wrong to me.He just offered to be friends and I rudely said no.
I didn’t want to believe that Dante had ruined me for every other man.
Maybe it was because he was too attractive.
He said his name was Arturo.He is literally so handsome.
Finer than Dante and I’m not saying this because Dante is a fucking bastard.
I’m saying this because it’s true.That guy who lent me a helping hand few minutes ago was so handsome that I feared he’d be the type that would have woman all around him.
Not that it was my business but I just didn’t want to be around men for now, I don’t want friendship from them especially not from someone with gorgeous gray eyes.
Fuck!
What was wrong with me?
I just met this man today and I can not believe I find him so attractive.
My phone rang distracting me from my thoughts.
I hurriedly picked it up.
“Hello, Miss Gordon.This is Luca.”
Oh it was the Agent I had assigned the task of selling my house as soon as possibly.
“I have an offer for your house.The person offered six million,eight hundred.Are you okay with it?It’s two hundred thousand short of the asking price.”
I just want to sell off the place as soon as possible.
I will not continue owning a place for my husband and his mistress to fuck in whenever they please.
“Sell it.”
“Alright,he wants to move in right away.”
“No problem,if he makes a deposit,send me the paperwork.An express courier should be here in a few houses,I will sign it and send it back by courier.”
“Got it.”
As soon as he hung up,my phone beeped.
It was my close friend,Jayda who had gone on vacation two weeks ago.
Jayda:I just got back to town.I’m exhausted.Do you have a shift tonight?I really want us to hang out as soon as possible.I have so many stories for you.
I grimaced.
I have a shocking story for her too.
Me:Come over to ST Carlo avenue.You can spend the night with me.
Jayda:What are you doing there?That’s not where you live.
Me:Long story.I’ll explain when you get here.
While Jayda was on her way,I decided to make some food.She must be hungry and I was too.
Once she got to my condo,she demanded to know everything and boy was she shocked when I told her what happened.
She was so furious that she wanted to call Dante and Rissa.She wanted to threaten the life out of them and she even swore to beat them up when they came back from their trip.
But I eventually got her to calm down.They were not worth it.
“Oh,Lena, you didn’t deserve that.”She cooed and warned me.”I don’t want to say I warned you but I did warn you though.”
Yeah,she did.
A lot of times.
Especially how I let Dante have access to my money and how he spends it without a care in the world.
I just wanted to make him happy.I just wanted to make sure he doesn’t lack anything and I thought my feelings was reciprocated.
But I was just dumb.
So so dumb.
“You know what, enough sulking.I am not going to let you be sad over that asshole for long.You know what,Lena.I know it might seem hard but the biggest revenge you can give those fuckers is you continuing living your best life!You can’t let them break you.”
“I won’t.”I assured her.
“That’s the spirit,girl!”Jayda cheered.
“First,let’s go eat and then we’ll party.”
I smiled.
Jayda was so a lively person and really fun to hang out with.
After we had dinner.She turned on the music on the stereo to the highest.We popped open some wine,drank and danced until we couldn’t move.
********************
Jayda and I were only able to get over our hungover at noon the following day.She had work tomorrow so she left in the evening.
I saw her off to her car.I was also officially staring working tomorrow at my new workplace.
I was excited about it.
I walked back into the condo and as I was about to get into the elevator,I saw that handsome guy,Arturo already on it.
“Hello.”He let out,awkwardly.
I couldn’t really blame him for acting like this.
After all,I had been cold to him on our first meeting.
I suddenly felt bad.
I slowly got into the elevator.
We didn’t say anything through the ride up.And when the doors opened on our floor,he got out and started heading for his condo.
I ran my hand through my hair.I might barely know him but he doesn’t seem like a bad person to be at war with.
And besides,he was my opposite door neighbor,it wasn’t right for us to ignore each other like this.
It wouldn’t be so bad to be friend with him,right?
“I’m sorry.”I said loudly before he got into his condo.
He slowly turned to face me.”For?”
“For the way I spoke and acted the other day,I…I wasn’t in a good place.”
“So you took it out on poor innocent me?”
I frowned.
Was he good at keeping grudges.
He suddenly laughed.”Calm down,I’m just joking.I’m not mad at you.And,did you have a party last night?”
I nodded.”I’m sorry.The loud music must have been really bothersome for you…”
“No…no.It’s not that.I mean it was loud,yes but not bothersome,I totally understand that everyone needs to unwind sometimes,it’s just that I didn’t picture you as someone who liked to party.”
I scoffed and crossed my arms.”Why would you say that?You don’t even know me.”
“I know someone who coldly told me to fuck off.”
I laughed.”I didn’t say that.”
“That was what your attitude literally meant.”
“And I just apologized for it and fine,we can be friends.”
He tsked his tongue.”Ehn…my offer of friendship might have expired.”With the smile on his face,I knew he was joking.
“What about some peace offering?I was about making myself dinner?You could join me.”
As soon as I said that,I regretted it.
Did I just invite him into my house?

*MILENA*As if he notice how nervous I looked,he said,softly.“Is that really okay with you?”He asked.I looked up.I didn’t want to seem like the shitty neighbor again so I nodded.“It’s fine.Come in.”“Thank you.”We both walked into my condo and I tried not ignore how overpowered I felt by his scent.He was literally dripping testosterone everywhere.“I was about making chicken pasta,is that okay?”“Of course.So you wouldn’t be bored while cooking,I could come keep you company,or you’re one of those women who don’t like anyone being in their kitchen.”I laughed.”You can come and why would you say that?”We walked into the kitchen and he sat on a stool in the breakfast.“When I was little,my elder sister hated anyone being in the kitchen while she cooks.”“Well, everyone is different and that could be understandable because you were a kid then,she wouldn’t want you playing around and distracting her.”He laughed.”True.”I stated cooking and I noticed he walked up to the window.“Wow,

*MILENA*Mr Gustavo continued.“Well,he is in the theater at the moment so I cannot introduce you right now.Come,let me show you where your office is and introduce you the rest of the staff that are available.”The hospital was eight-story building with private high-quality rooms as well as a cooler of wards for those who could not afford higher-priced room.The canteen was more like a small restaurant,the food looked and smelt good.The staff I met were all friendly and pleasant and when they realized who I was, they were suddenly more respectful of me.I didn’t know I was this popular in the medical field.I felt happy about that.I was making a great name for myself.My office was a lot more than I expected.It was big and even had a window which overlooked a very pleasant view but I doubt I’d be able to look out of it much.But all in all,I was excited about working here.I had a good feeling about this place.**********************By the time I made it home,I was still in a good moo

*ARTURO*Milena and I did more laps before she climbed out of the pool.I picked up my pace and did another ten laps before calling it quit.When I climbed out of the pool,I found her in the deck chair,watching me.I suddenly felt so self-aware as I wondered if she found me attractive.“Good morning.”She said.I smiled.”You had a good swim.”“Yeah,thank you for keeping pace with me but I could have easily beat you if we race you know.”I laughed.”You’re joking,right?”She shook her head.”I’m not.”“Woman,I was a star swimmer in high school,I won a lot of swimming medals and I would have won the Olympic medal if I hadn’t decided to do something else professionally.”She rolled her eyes.I chortled.”Did you just roll your eyes at me,miss?I wasn’t joking.I really was a star player.Fine,let’s go back into the pool and race.”Milena laughed.”You must be really competitive and no,I can’t swim anymore today,I’m tired.I will beat you to swimming another day.”I laughed.”We’ll see about that.”

*MILENA*Taking a deep calming breath,I asked.“How much are the cost of the bags?”“Sixty-eight thousand dollars.”So he spent sixty-eight thousand dollars on bags?!It pained me so much that he has been squandering so much of my money and I had no idea.Does he think I pluck money from trees?!I literally have to work so hard.Sometimss I work until my neck and back hurts so bad.I have worked so hard to have this much money and I do not even squander my own money because I know the value of it.Yet,he feels no remorse on spending them on his mistress.I felt like tearing off his face with my nails.“Well,tell him that I’m not settling any damn bill!He should be more than capable of spending whatever amount on his wife!He bought the bags from you not me so go meet him for your money!”With that,I hung up.I felt so angry.How dare the both of them?!******************ARTURO*With a smile on my face,I had my bath and got changed.I couldn’t stop thinking about Lena and how gorgeous sh

*MILENA*I really didn’t want to cry.I thought I did all the crying in my old home.I just wanted to start anew in my new home and new job.But I just had another wave of Dante and Rissa’s betrayal.I just couldn’t understand how they could do such a thing to me when I’ve been nothing but nice to them.I looked at the hand currently holding mine in the restaurant.It turns out I really needed a friend right now and I was glad I accepted his offer of friendship.Though he didn’t ask why I cried or anything,his presence had been really comforting.I slowly took my hand away from his because I felt his hold was getting too personal.“You must have heard my phone call conversation.”I let out.He grimaced and nodded.”I…em…I heard a bit.I had rang the doorbell but you didn’t answer,plus,your door wasn’t locked.You should lock your door all the time.”I sighed.”I must’ve forgotten.”He offered me a small smile.I bit my lower lip and probed.”Do you ask any questions?”He must be curious as t

*MILENA*As we headed for the building,Arturo held my hand.I didn’t stop him and I also didn’t mind his familiarity because it felt so nice to have my hand held by a man.I can’t even remember the last time Dante held my hand.I realized that the last time Dante had shown me true affection was when we newly got married.I felt like punching myself for not noticing all the signs that he had fallen out of love with me.Arturo’s warm hand distracted me from my thoughts.I stared at him wondering what he does for a living.Maybe he was an office worker.But being in a condo as expensive as that,he might be a CEO or CFO.I shook my head.It was none of my business.It wasn’t as if I wanted to have anything to do with him except that we were holding hands right now and I was suddenly thinking about how good it might be to be in his arms,how good he might be in bed.Maybe we could be neighbors with benefits.No strings attached.I really missed having a man hold me, touch me in all of the places

*MILENA*He stared at me obviously surprised by how rudely I had interrupted him.I wasn’t jealous when I saw the host hug him or anything.Or when he received a call and I heard the name ‘Paula’ from his lips.Either way how brightly he looked when he spoke to the person who was obviously a woman on the phone,I assumed he might have something with her.I knew it.Arturo was too handsome and too hot to be someone who would take anyone seriously.I might be wrong and I might be jumping into conclusion.But the last thing I wanted to happen to me again was to be foolish and let any man play me.Dante wasn’t even as handsome and Arturo,yet he still broke my heart.So Arturo would not be any different.It was good that I know now that he was a playboy.At the very least,I’d never have feeling for a playboy.“Is everything okay?”He asked me.I nodded.”Yeah.Let’s go eat.”We left the art exhibition and got back to the car.Then we headed off to have lunch.I glanced at him.He was on his phone

*MILENA*Oh God.I think I’m losing it.I’m heartbroken and I’m at the same time a horny mess.I took the seat Arturo had pulled out for me and lowered myself into it,thinking that I should probably give up on asking him to be my sex buddy.The woman stood by the table,until we were both seated and she handed Arturo the menu,not giving one to me.“You can get me your specialty and instead of wine,make that two coffees please.”He said.I frowned.Don’t I get to order?“Alright.”She had a smile on her face and still hadn’t paid any mind to me.Is this where he brought all his women?It seemed it wasn’t so special that I was here.It felt like the woman was used to it.“What’s the specialty?”I asked him,curiously.“When I dine in,I get the chef’s mix of the day,it’s a little sample of all the meals she’s experimenting with and I get to tell her if I think it’s great or not.It’s always great though.Her food tastes heavenly.”“Do you always bring all your dates here?”“This is a date?”He ask

*MILENA*After I cleaned up, I was tired, but a good tired. Today was the best day we have had in ages. Dad was in top form. Spouting stuff and Arturo’s Dad could join in on all of it. What Dad or I did not, Hank knew. It was great teamwork, and the laughs were great. I felt comfortable, not at all embarrassed as I screamed at the screen, as those in the room were doing the same thing. I don't think we have ever had a day like this one. I look forward to next week when we can do it all over again.They kept me busy with food and drinks, and I didn't think of tomorrow until the promotion started. Then it was a good feeling when Hank complimented me on my achievements, making my Dad puff up in pride. The compliments meant a lot, coming from a fellow doctor, who would have understood what was involved to have reached this far.The morning came, and it was showing signs of being a good day. I woke up in a good mood and not the least bit nervous, yet. A quick s
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 43 Rissa and Arturo
*ARTURO*My day started at the pool doing long laps, as I thought about yesterday and how excited Dad was to meet another enthusiastic sports fan. I had no idea how today was going to go. I hoped that Milena was a true sports fan, or my Dad was going to be very sad. He had been building up his expectations all week since I suggested sports day to him.Dad arrived at my place fifteen minutes before the game, hoping the place we were going to not be far. I had not told him exactly where Lena lived, just in our building. Well, I don't think I did.He was dressed in his team's shirt and jeans, the same as me, and was carrying the two cases of beer I had left at his place. I quickly took the beer.“Hi Son. Are you ready to go? I am missing the pre-game announcements.”I moved out of the condo, closed the door behind me, and opened Lena’s door. The smell of food wafted out to greet me, and my mouth started to water at the tasty fragrance. Dad's
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 42 A great time
*MILENA*The next morning, I woke up with yesterday's phone calls on my mind, so I emailed my lawyer and let him deal with it. I cannot fathom how that person got my phone number, and I am a little worried about who could be doing this. Was it one of my sister's friends trying to get into my head? I would not put it past my sister to do something like that, try and make it all Dante’s fault and that she is an innocent person in this, which I know she isn't.Maybe she did not like me knowing she had married my husband, and thought about making it look like he had done this a lot of times before, and that she was another victim, planting the seeds of doubt.I had a nice long swim before making a quick breakfast, got the television on the sports channel and had it playing in the background, and put some of the finger-food in the oven on low heat to warm up, for when our guests arrived. I was looking forward to spending time with Dad. It had been a while since I had a chance to have a pro
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 41 Arturo’s girlfriend
*ARTURO*The day was exhausting, and by the time I had taken a shower and climbed into bed, it was midnight, my head hit the pillow and sleep came quickly, all thoughts of what Milena was going through left my mind. Either I was drained, or the ability to turn things off took over. I knew in my early days as a doctor, I would have things go over and over in my mind, making sleep impossible to claim, and I would toss and turn. I have since learned to block those sorts of thoughts out of my mind, and that might be what happened now.It was nearly ten o'clock when I woke, the sun blazing through the window. Last night I failed to close them, which was unusual for me, and I was shocked to see how late it was in the day. Throwing the blankets off of me, I raced around getting dressed. I was supposed to be at my parent's home by eleven and to grab some drinks. This was going to be a close run if I was to make it across town in half an hour at that time of day and I had to think of the best
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 40 The game
*MILENA*It did not shock me that Rissa would be waiting outside of Dino's, where Dante was meeting me.Rissa would never be too far away from him, it was like a magnet, she seemed to be attracted to where he was nearly all the time. I am not sure if it was all on Rissa’s side, and she had Dante hoodwinked, or if they were in it together.He seemed to be shocked at the video, and Rissa was her usual selfish woman. Arturo saved me from any further confrontation, which I know would have got a lot nastier if Rissa could get away with it. I was surprised there was not a photographer hiding somewhere, or maybe there was, and I could not see them, but they had little to photograph.The evening was okay. My mind was distracted for most of it, as Arturo tried to take my mind away from the meeting with those two, and some of my sad past was revealed, yet he did not run, he stayed and was strong, and very supportive, though no matter how hard he tried, he could not completely remove that sadnes
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 39 Sad for Lena
*ARTURO*I watched the man enter the restaurant, and he did not seem too pleased to see me. Well, too bad buddy, if Milena needed my support from you, she was going to get it. I had already been told by Milena that she might get emotional, and she needed me to help her stay strong, and possibly help her out of the restaurant if she cried.What I learned whilst sitting there was more than I had expected. This low life before me could do such a thing to this beautiful selfless woman. In the time I got to know Lena and that was not that long, she had already shown she was not a gold digger and went out of her way to help others in little ways.For example, she brought a takeaway dinner at a restaurant we stopped at, and she gave it to a homeless man who was sitting, leaning against a shop wall. He was playing an old guitar for tips, his face lit up like a Christmas tree, when he opened the lid and saw what she had brought him.But this low life had been the one to dim her eyes, and break
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 38 Want you back
*MILENA*After the meeting, I headed to see Mr Green. I gowned up and went in taking a tray of coffee with snacks with me. We restricted who could visit until after the operation, and if the family wished to sit with him, they needed to gown up and no kissing. We cannot risk any infection so close to the operation.“Good morning Milena, all set for Monday?'“Good morning, and yes. I have the media starting to promote it on Sunday, and wanted to warn you of this.”“Well, that will be interesting. I will have to watch the TV and see if I have a good face on.”He chuckled.“I did not think you would want a picture of you. I mean how you are now.”“I think they should come here and take a picture of me, so they can see how I am before the operation and what I am going through, don't you think?”“I will speak to Mr Philips, he is our voice to the people, and see if he would like to do that.”Mr Green was serious. I did not want to get him all worked up, and in the end, I agreed to mention i
Billionaire Ex, Divorce It! Chapter 37 Shameless Rissa
*ARTURO*The interviews started and when a woman arrived looking like she was here to sell herself and not her product, I felt Milena stiffen. I knew there was a story behind that reaction. This woman looked at Milena with hatred in her eyes, but when she looked at me, I felt disgusted, like she had just rubbed herself all over me, and was looking at me as if I was her next meal. It was a total turn-off.An ex-friend, or the one that stole her boyfriend? Definitely something, I have seen that kind of reaction many times from my sisters, to smell trouble when I see it.But when a guy walked in, both looked a little shocked but looked more angry than anything once he recovered.His presentation was okay, but that was about all I could say, nothing that grabbed my attention. Most of them were mediocre, until the last one, and we all sat up and took notice. He understood what we wanted to project perfectly, and it did not surprise me when Milena told him he had the job, without consulting

*ARTURO*Tomorrow we have interviews, both Gustavo and I will sit in them, but Milena will be the one to make the final decision. This is the first time the hospital has ever put anything out to the media. We must get the right team behind us, to promote the good and to help us if things go badly.Milena is nervous, this is outside her comfort zone, but she understands the importance of having a good press.“Milena, do you want to walk with me in the morning? Can we talk about the interviews? Or just walk together, and I can keep your mind off it.”I was hoping she would give me an in.Something had not been the same. It was as if she had pulled back.Yes,we had agreed to stop having sex but we didn’t agree to not to be friends anymore.I was not sure if it was because we were working at the same place, and that had made her uncomfortable to be work with someone you had sex with, or if something else was holding her back. I want the Milena I first met back, the one that gave me a lot o
