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

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

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

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

LaylaIt's evening and as the rain pours heavily outside, it matches the tears dripping from my eyes and down my sweat drenched face.It's been ten minutes now and I'm still heartbroken and in shock as I look down at the divorce papers on the living room table.Nathan and I have only been married for eight months and it's already gone downhill so fast.He's had a hard time ever since both his parents died in the private jet accident.I've done nothing but stand by his side and every time, he's only pushed me away.When he told me he needed to have our bedroom to himself so he could cope, I assumed he just needed more time so I let him be. The last thing I expected is this divorce.Desperate to find him, I run around the mansion. I even take the built in elevator and the entire time, more tears stream down my face no matter how many times I wipe them away.It feels like an eternity trying to find him and when I can't do it anymore, I inquire from the house chef, who tells me he's out b

NathanAfter another day of clashing with my siblings over the billion dollar estate my parents left behind, I'm once again wishing there was a will. What hurts the most is they didn't know that was the fate they would meet that day.Now that it's evening, here I am, on my way to see Miranda. She's the only one who makes me forget about all this misery around me.I hope Layla signs the divorce papers soon. That way, I don't have to see her face when I get home. Even having breakfast with her is unbearable.The sight of her only reminds me of the huge losses I suffered. Before my parents, it was our baby. I was so excited to be a father that I already had so much planned.She lost the baby early in the second trimester due to a health condition but that didn't make it any easier. Seeing her just reminds me of how unhappy I am with her now. In my life, she symbolizes loss and I don't want that. I already have enough to deal with.Not only that, but Miranda, the girl I was so in love wi

LaylaIt's been six months now since the divorce was finalized and that was the last time I saw Nathan.I have to admit that it was difficult to adapt to my living situation as I came to New York and had to start afresh, but now I can handle myself.I wanted nothing to do with Nathan, which meant cutting off all ties that would link me back to anyone from the Partridge family.His siblings have always been so full of themselves so it was easy, except one of them has an adorable little girl who's fond of me. Still, it was best to cut all ties with them.Not only did I block Nathan's personal and work phone numbers, I even blocked him on social media so he'd never contact me again and I don't have to see what he's up to. Even though Pamela still travels a lot, we stay in touch. During the first few weeks after the divorce, Nathan called her a few times to find out where I was. Being the loyal best friend she is to me, she's refused to tell him anything each time.I eventually told her

LaylaFor someone living in a small neighborhood, Louis seems like he can afford to rent out the most expensive suite.I don't want to be nosy, so I don't even point that out.Jogging with him is pleasant and it feels great to have some company that doesn't throw sexual comments at me.When I can't jog anymore, I pause to catch my breath and he stops, too."Giving up already?" He shakes his head."Yes.""I can tell." He chuckles.My throat is so dry that the water I have isn't enough to quench my thirst and it seems I'm too obvious because he offers to buy more for me.Though I want to decline, I need it so I agree.Because we've been jogging for a long time, we're already close to a convenience store so he leads the way.He's so tall that I have to look up just to take a look at his silky blond hair. He also has the perfect muscle tone.Once in the store, I take my water bottle and it's time for him to pay the salesperson, a young lady like me, but he rummages through his pockets for

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
