Blossoming Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 15
NathanI kind of assumed Layla had moved on since it's been a long time, but I didn't expect to feel this way upon hearing she has a boyfriend, and how she's just proudly said it, speaks volumes to me.I click my pen hard, trying to keep my composure. While I'm in this suit and role, I know I should stay focused but after learning about her boyfriend, it's easier said than done, so I slip in more questions. "So, you're in a relationship?""Yes, I am," she firmly responds, looking me right in the face."What does your boyfriend do for a living?""Can we please focus on my evaluation?"Fuck. She's already caught on. I can't believe I let my curiosity push me that far. It doesn't matter. I can always find out some other time who he is."Do you like working here?" I ask, looking at my computer and hovering with my mouse."Yes.""Would you like to keep working here?""This is my first job. Of course I wanted to stay.""Wanted? Do you no longer wish to stay?""Something changed." She looks

NathanIt seems that calling Layla by her first name has finally gotten through to her, because she's stopped in her tracks but hasn't yet turned around to face me. I don't even mind. I just want to talk to her. I go over to the other side until I'm directly facing her, and she's already glaring at me. Whatever it is that's going on inside her head, this is my moment to finally break the ice between us. I can only hope she doesn't walk away right now. For a start, I relax my shoulders and say the one thing I've wanted to say to her for a while now."After hiding from me for three years, I've finally found you." My eyes scan her from head to toe."I wasn't hiding. I was simply living my life without you," she scoffs at me, crossing her arms.I'm not even offended by her response. This is exactly what I needed to hear from her. She's just broken the barrier and now I can finally speak more freely with her."It doesn't matter if you were simply living your life without me, because here

Layla Right after my flirtatious call with Louis comes to an end, my phone slips out of my hand as I spot Miranda and Nathan embracing each other with a kiss. I can't believe that they're still together. I'm so hurt by the sight of them that I feel my blood boil. Moments when they openly fucked each other while I was in the house flood my mind, and I don't want to be here anymore, so I instruct my chauffeur to drive. As hard as I try, I can't stop thinking about those two. And Nathan creeps into my mind as I think about how he called me by my first name and I stopped in my tracks. I told myself I wouldn't break character in front of him, but I slipped up when I said I was just living my life without him. I don't know what game he's trying to play with me, but I'm not going to fall for it. I'm only waiting for the layoffs to happen, and then I'll get my revenge on him. He'll regret ever coming here and on top of that, bringing Miranda with him. Just as the car gets closer t

LaylaLouis catches me a little off guard with his statement, and it takes me a few seconds to gather my thoughts, so I place my fork down on my plate."You know what that sounds like?" I lean forward, hoping I'm wrong about what I'm about to say. "You don't want Nathan to know that you, Louis Lindgren, are my boyfriend."He bursts into laughter, placing his hand on the side of his torso. "Come on. That's not what I meant. I was only saying I hope you didn't tell him it's me.""I didn't have to. He only asked what my boyfriend does for a living.""Well, I guess I was thinking too far ahead," he admits."You definitely were." "Why would you ever think I would want to hide that I'm with such a gorgeous woman?" His voice is gentle and loving.In my head, I admit that it did sound that way when he hoped I didn't mention him to Nathan. But I guess it was ridiculous of me to even feel that way.With passionate eyes, he kisses the back of my hand and I instantly blush."I've been waiting fo

LaylaIt's early in the morning and as I prepare myself for work, I have my phone with me and have it on speaker, giving Pamela all the updates from yesterday."Whoa! Why didn't you tell me any of this yesterday?" she says from the other end of the line."Are you forgetting that I called but couldn't reach you?""Well, you know how my life's been lately.""Yup, it's been very busy and that's why you're finding out this late.""I can't believe those two had the nerve to rub it in your face that they're still together.""That's why they're going to deeply regret everything they've done to me.""Do you know when the layoffs will happen?"I sigh. "That hasn't yet been announced, but it should be in less than a week.""I hope it's soon since I still don't see you quitting. And you know what? Nathan really has some nerve complimenting your beauty after everything he said to you before.""That's something that really pissed me off.""Well, you have another day ahead of you where you have to

NathanBefore I can stare at the hickey for too long, the elevator doors open and Layla rushes out. She doesn't even look back to wait for Trish despite being from the same department. I know it's because she's only trying to get away from me as soon as possible.After a few more employees step out of the elevator, the doors close again to get to the next floor and I clench my jaw, trying so hard not to punch the steel walls or something.While I make my way to my office, I still can't stop thinking about that hickey. Did she have this yesterday as well? Or did she get it last night? I know I'm torturing myself with these questions, but I can't help it. I need to know who her boyfriend is. I hate to admit it, but her hickey has bothered me more than it should.Even as my new management team and I discuss new strategies regarding how we'll run Tech-Beet and what needs to change, I still can't seem to forget about her and that fucking hickey on her neck.During coffee break, everyone el

Nathan Layla could be going anywhere right now. It could be the restaurant, home or to even see a friend. There's no way I can be sure she's going to see her boyfriend, but even if that's the case, what right do I have to do this? I look ahead and her car's already out of sight. I'm glad it is, because this isn't how I want things to be. When I saw her for the first time among my new staff, all I wanted to do was get an opportunity to speak to her so I could apologize. I wanted to tell her everything I've been through over the years while thinking about what I put her through. That's all it was supposed to be, so how has it come to this? Why am I so bothered by her new life and her new man? As I think about what I've just done, I slam the steering wheel a few times, then lean back in my seat. This needs to stop. My main goal is still to just have a conversation with her. She obviously hates me even more after seeing me with Miranda, but I don't want her to get the wrong idea. I'm

Layla As the hall erupts in celebration and everyone around me rises to their feet, I remain in my seat, frozen in place as I hear my heart pound in my ears despite all the noise around me. Nothing could've prepared me for such an announcement. Even as the celebration carries for a few more seconds, I still can't seem to react in any way, and I barely blink as I stare right at him. He looks all around with a smile, but his gaze feels more intense when he looks at me. Quickly, he looks away and tries to grab everyone's attention. Despite his efforts, he struggles with it as everyone around me is in such high spirits that they can't seem to contain themselves, including Trish and Dave. I'm the only one not taking part as I realize what this means for me. This isn't what I was expecting and it goes against everything I've planned for me to begin my revenge. "Everyone, please settle down," he says loudly. "I'm not yet finished." I glare at him as I breathe hard, and he looks right a

Layla Now that it's certain that I'm leaving the company, I'm already looking at options on where I can apply for my next job but at the same time, I still have the mansion that Louis gave to me. I just can't seem to decide when I'll put it on the market but before that happens, I plan to go there one of these weekends just to be alone and away from everything. It hasn't been too long since I came home and I rushed to freshen up and change my clothes so I can wait for him.Thirty minutes after I'm ready, he calls and my lips curve into a smile. "Hey, babe." "Hey, beautiful." "I'm ready now. I was thinking we could watch a movie." He sighs heavily from the other side. "I know I should be on my way to pick you up right now but something's come up and it's important, so I can't make it." I slouch with a pout in my seat. "I see." "I promise I'll make it up to you. This was just so short notice and it requires my attention because I'm the CEO. I feel awful." I smile. "Hey, you sho

LaylaTriggered by Nathan's tone of voice, I turn around, glaring at him. He scowls at me, but soon looks away while loosening his necktie.Just as I attempt to return to his desk, James chimes in with a forced chuckle. "Don't mind him. How about you enjoy the rest of your coffee break? It's almost time to get back to work anyway."I immediately realize what he's trying to do and still stop in my tracks to compose myself so I don't lash out. No matter how I feel, Nathan's not worth my time and I don't want to exchange words with him. But why is he so upset about this?Making my way along the hallways isn't any different from before as I still have people staring at me but now that I know the reason behind it, I don't feel so uneasy anymore.I get back to my seat and only a few seconds later, Mr Jones calls for me. Trish and Dave look at each other, then at me."What is it?" I ask both of them."Nothing," they respond in unison.I shrug, heading to Mr Jones office while ignoring all th

Nathan"No, I didn't tell her everything," I say to James, conflicted by that decision."You seriously didn't tell her?" He shakes his head and disapprovingly narrows his eyes."Back at the hotel, there was a moment when I spoke to Louis and I asked him if Layla knew. He didn't really give me a clear response. I figured it out on my own that she doesn't know."He sighs. "Then you should be the one to tell her.""No. She'll find out on her own.""What if it'll be too late by then? You're just going to let her find out the hard way?"I slam my fist on the desk. "Stop trying to make me feel awful." I look down at my watch with a heavy sigh. "We have about 10 minutes before this coffee break is over and this is the perfect time to speak to Layla.""You're going to tell her now? Are you crazy?" His eyes widen."What? No. I'm talking about what everyone knows here.""Right, I forgot about that for a moment." He nods. "Hey, are you sure this is the right time?""Yes. This is the perfect time
Blossoming Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 37
Nathan Ever since I took over Tech-Beet, I was certain that my past with Layla would never be discussed, so learning that everyone now knows makes me panic so much that I rise to my feet, looking at James with wide eyes. "How did they know about this and who the hell told them?" "That's what I've been trying to figure out myself for a long time!" He sighs. "Wait, how did you even know that they know about this?" "I heard it from one of the security guards." "What? Even the security guards know?" "Everyone does! He's like a friend now." "Let me get this straight. He just casually walked up to you and mentioned it to you?" "No, he asked me out of curiosity. It turns out that his cousin was one of the photographers from the event and that same photographer knows about you and Layla." "I see. So that's how it happened." I sigh heavily, feeling my heart race. "Now it makes sense why everyone was looking at me like that and I bet that everyone was looking at her the same way." "Ev
Blossoming Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 36
Nathan When I came back home yesterday, I drank some more whiskey as I couldn't stop thinking about Layla. Miranda only returned a few hours later and not once did she ask me why I was drinking again. It actually felt like she just doesn't doesn't give a fuck anymore. While I get ready for work, she's already awake, her back resting against the headboard while she types and scrolls on her phone. She scoffs so many times and sounds so bitter when she chuckles. I don't even want to ask what she's looking at. "What the hell is wrong with these people?" she finally says, looking in my direction. "What are you talking about?" I ask, watching her through the mirror as I reach for my necktie. "There's so much crap going on. Almost every gossip media site is talking about that bitch and her ugly dress from Saturday evening. Why is everyone sucking up to her? Is it because her boyfriend is Louis Lindgren?" "Is that why you're so upset?" "I'm visiting these sites to read some gossi

Layla My question makes me hold my breath when Louis pokes his cheek like I've just offended him or something. Did I go too far by asking him that question? The thought of it also makes my heart race a little. To my surprise, he gently places his hands on the sides of my face and plants a gentle kiss on my forehead, softly embracing me. "Babe, don't you see what Nathan is trying to do here? He hurt you and saw just how miserable you were when he left you. That's what he obviously expected to see even after the past few years. I'm the last person he would have thought would ever fall for you and yet here I am. He doesn't like that and he'll do anything to break us apart. But you know what? I'll never let that happen. You're mine and I want to cherish you forever." He plants more kisses on my forehead and I wrap my hands around his wrists, closing my eyes with a smile. "You're right about Nathan, that bastard." I firmly nod. "That's why you should never pay attention to what

NathanEver since I saw Layla again, despite the wall she had desperately tried to put up, I knew that she would eventually pour out her feelings to me. What I didn't know was just how much it would hurt standing before her and hearing her speak.It's been a few hours now since I was in the elevator with her and I can still feel the sting of her slaps and the pain in her voice. She was right about everything. How could I stand there and tell her that Louis isn't good for her when I wasn't any better? I broke her heart, only to start giving her advice.Though it all leaves me feeling disappointed in myself, I meant what I said. I wouldn't mind if it was someone who isn't that bastard. He really isn't good for her. While I'm not any better, he's the worst thing that could happen to her.The thought of how everything went down in the elevator makes me want to drink again. Even as I'm at the dining table, I have another bottle of whiskey in front of me and I'm contemplating on whether to

LaylaThe last time I ever saw Nathan look like such a mess was over three years ago. He was heavily drunk, looked miserable and it was that same evening that he served me those divorce papers, telling me how unhappy I made him.Seeing him like this and remembering that night only fuels my rage and the last thing I want is to be here right now.It seems that he doesn't want to step out of the elevator as he continues to look at me with extremely noticeable dark circles under his eyes.Not wanting to spend another second longer standing before him, I face the other direction so I can return to my suite, but he grabs onto my wrist and pulls me into the elevator with him."What do you think you're doing?" I yell as the doors close. I frantically move my wrist so I can break free, but he doesn't seem to let go as he presses a button.Frustrated, I slap him hard and he finally lets me go."What the hell is wrong with you? Let me out of here!""No," he says with an effort as he keeps his h

Nathan Had I known that I would be next to them, I would have made sure to go for another suite because just the way Louis is looking at me right now already infuriates me. Layla has her face buried in his chest. She doesn't even know that I'm here, but Louis looks right at me and smirks in his drunk state. Just as he pulls down the strap on her shoulder and begins to kiss her there, I face the other side, stepping away from that spot. My intention is to go inside, but I stop in my tracks, resting my head right against the wall as I shut my eyes. "I finally get to take off this dress," he whispers to her. She giggles, sounding a little tipsy. "What are you waiting for?" Her question makes me clench my jaw. The next thing I hear are kissing sounds and she keeps moaning against his lips. Once again I should just go inside, but I don't understand why I stay. The next thing I know, he's breathing gets heavier. "How about you suck my cock?" She giggles again. "Right now?" "Yeah
