Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss The Half-girlfriend
Melanie storms into her room, the door swinging open with a soft thud. Her emotions still simmer from the heated exchange with Ryan and her mind races with the thoughts of betrayal and overstepped boundaries.As she enters, her gaze sweeps the room, coming to an abrupt halt on the figure lying on her bed. Caleb is sprawled across her bed, half-naked just as she had left him earlier. The sheet rides low on his hips, revealing the defined contours of his chest and abs.Melanie’s breath is caught in her throat, her anger momentarily forgotten as Caleb’s eyes meet hers, a lazy smile spreading across his face. “Hey,” he drawls, his voice husky and for a moment, Melanie stands frozen, her eyes locked on Caleb’s. The tension between them crackles, a mix of unresolved emotions and unspoken desires.The memory of their passionate night floods back, and Melanie’s cheeks flush, most especially because she did not expect to find Caleb still in her bed, looking so relaxed and inviting. “Hey,” sh

Location: last floor of the guest house in Silver Oaks Resort, 77B Maple Ridge, Orion.Caleb walks into the room he shares with Alistair, still smiling after his conversation with Melanie."Hey, man!" Alistair calls out, not looking up from his laptop screen."Hey, Al. What's up?" Caleb drops onto their bed, kicking off his shoes. "Just trying to complete this one mission in GTA Vice City after you left me without a word at the bar yesterday, to go be with a woman that is not yet your woman," Alistair says, though his eyes remain fixed on the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard, but he rolls his eyes. "Saying that I left you without a word is too big of an allegation, my friend" Caleb chuckles.“I remember mentioning that I would step out to speak to Melanie…” Caleb tries to recall.“Speak not sleep with her right?” Alex corrects.“Oh…shut up” Caleb laughs, heading to the bathroom to freshen up.As Caleb showers, his mind wanders back to Melanie. Their conversation left

As Caleb approaches room 16B, he notices nurses Patel and Thompson huddled near the intercom, exchanging worried glances that make Caleb quicken his steps to get to them ASAP.“Hey, what's up?” Caleb asks, his curiosity piqued.“We are trying to reach Miss Carson…” Nurse Patel hesitates as she speaks.“Mrs. Wellinton,” Caleb corrects.“My bad…we were used to referring to her as Mrs. Wellinton before Ryan asked us to refer to her as Miss Carson” Patel clarifies.“Continue,” Caleb gives the go-ahead.“Ryan gave me a letter, but Nurse Thompson and I don’t want to disturb her if she is resting, even though she barely does that,” Nurse Patel informs him.“Do you have any idea what is in the letter?” Caleb’s eyes narrow, as he stretches forward his hands to collect the note.“It is a letter for the miss, and reading it will mean a total invasion of her privacy, so we don’t know, but Ryan insisted that it was urgent and we promised to hand it over to her as soon as we can, but I am guessing

Melanie storms into Ryan's room, to have a conversation with him, and probably fill him in about the new status of her relationship with Caleb, even though they had quite the misunderstanding less than an hour ago, she still wants to carry him along in what is going on, so that she doesn’t completely shut him out of her life because of a silly misunderstanding, even though she made a mental note to discuss what exactly happened between them calmly on her way to his room, without trying to make it seem like she was intentionally rebuking him. She wants to have a proper conversation with him so that what happened between both of them won’t keep hanging in the air like a bad cloud. Melanie was expecting to find Ryan lounging or lying on his bed, watching TikTok’s, since watching tiktok is slowly starting to become his favorite thing as of late, but instead, she finds room service tidying up his room, without any sign of his things around. “Excuse me,” Melanie says, confusion etched on

“Unbelievable!” she mutters as she leaves the guest house lobby because many people gathered on her after the scene that Phil created.“He just leaves without a word?” she questions herself as she drags her feet towards the direction of the elevator.“No explanation, no apology, nothing!” she marvels because she still can't believe that he would bolt without a word, despite how frustrated he was when she traveled to Pearl Coast and he thought that she didn't leave a word for him.“After everything we’ve been through. He disappears like a coward.” Melanie shakes her head as she approaches the elevator and places her hand on the round metallic button to open it, and she steps in like a robot.“What about our friendship?” she mutters and that causes the heads of the three adults who were inside the elevator when she walked in, share glances.“Our trust?” she continues“Did it mean nothing to him?” as Melanie continues her quiet ranting session, they exchange glances and just assume that

“Where do you think you are going?” Caleb gets up from his bed with quick and immediate effect, as he pulls Melanie back and says, immediately her hand wraps around the doorknob of her room.“Away from you,” Melanie answers him as she opens the room door in an attempt to go out but Caleb bangs the door shut and gets in front of it.“We are not done talking here, and as a result, you are not stepping out of that room,” Caleb tells her sternly.“Wait a dammn minute…do you know that this is my room?” Melanie scoffs as she blinks back in shock.“Of course, I know that,” Caleb answers her calmly.“Why did you want to get away from me?” Caleb asks her gently, refusing to allow her to step out of her room as he places himself gracefully in front of her door.“I need to cool down away from you” Melanie sighs as she answers him.“Well, you can do that away from me but wedding the four corners of these walls” Caleb but she raises an eyebrow at him.“Allow me to explain that to you” Caleb starts

Caleb's meticulous attention to detail mesmerizes her for a moment before her alter ego takes over. “Just how many women has he done this for him to be this thorough?” She asks no one but herself. “There must have been a lot of them in his life, and now I am here on a vacation away from my crazy ex-boyfriend, but I am allowing myself to enter the league of another man's 99 other women,” she says out loud as she goes to the bathtub to examine the keen arrangement of things.“Is being in a trial relationship with Caleb Wellington the best decision?” The overthinker in her takes over “I highly doubt that” the overthinker in her continues. “Then why am I here?” The logical part of her asks. “If you ask me, your engine needed periodic servicing, and Caleb was the only good mechanic that you found.” Her alter ego replies to her. “Oh please,” Melanie rolls her eyes. “There must be other guys that are good in bed way more than Caleb.” She argues."Of course, there are other guys that w

“Is it just me? Or does it really feel like Aiden is struggling to decide if he wants to like me or not?” Melanie points out after Aiden walks away from the table and Caleb shoots her a strange look. “What is there to decide? You either like someone or you don’t like them, there shouldn’t be any in between,” Caleb points out but Melanie shakes her head because she doesn’t agree with him. “So what is there to plan now? Are we keeping him or a we letting him go back to his mom where he truly belongs? Melanie asks and Caleb pauses to think. “You really want him here, don’t you?” She paints out and he shakes his head. “I honestly don't know,” Caleb answers her. “If you don’t know if you want him in your life or not, why can’t you just settle without a fight?” Melanie asks him. “Settling without a fight is way too easy for her, and I am guessing that she must be expecting that, but when my lawyers are done gathering the evidence of how poorly she raised him,” Caleb informs “ You thi

After Melanie ends the call with Kalinin and Ryan, she makes her way out of Caleb’s inhouse office and she heads straight to his room where she realizes that the room looks and feels different to what she is used to, but she isn’t able to pace it till she sees the note on the bed.“Good morning sunshine, you mentioned that you wanted your thinks moved out of your room, so I supervised them moving your things from your room to mine… once again, I am sorry for speaking to you the way I did yesterday,” Caleb apologizes again and she walks into his walk-in closet to see that a space has been created for her in the room.She exits the walk-in closet for the bathroom and she realizes that all the toiletries on her own side of the bathroom are composed of the toiletries that she was into when she was staying with him, just that everything is brand new.“I have no idea the products that you used now, but these were the ones that were in your bathroom, so I just asked him to have new ones sent
Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss The Road to Healing
The next morning, Melanie slowly opens her eyes, groggily taking in her surroundings. She is still in Caleb’s office, sitting in his chair, but as she looks down, she notices her body is covered with a soft, plush blanket.“Could it have been one of the stewards that needed to clean up?” she mutters, feeling a sense of surprise and wonder, trying to recall how the blanket got there because she didn’t remember covering herself before she went to sleep, and she is certain that she didn’t bring a blanket with her to the office the previous night.As she lifts the blanket, she sees that it is one of Caleb’s because it has his distinct monogram, embodied on the corner. A faint smile crosses her lips as she realizes that Caleb must have covered her with the blanket while she was asleep, and her eyes scan the room, searching for any signs of Caleb, but he is nowhere to be found. She wonders if he went back to his room to sleep or left for the important meeting that he mentioned the previous

“Can I be brutally honest with you?” Melanie speaks up after a while, and Caleb raises sb eyebrow at her, curious about what she has to say. “I have no idea about what the hell I am doing and I don't think I have ever lost anyone close to me to be able to grieve properly…in short the closest thing that I have lost was my puppy” Melanie informs him. “Do you want to go upstairs to get the full gist?” Melanie asks him and he considers for a moment.“Not exactly,” He answers her“I have an important meeting at work tomorrow and I really need to get some sleep,” Caleb excuses.“Can't Alistair stand in for you at the meeting, as usual? Or doesn’t he know that you lost your daughter?” Melanie asks him multiple questions.“I haven’t told anybody on my side, not even my mom … so no, he doesn’t know and even if he does, there is no way he can stand in for me because the only thing he has been used to doing over the years is running the night club with me, so I left him to take care of the nig

As Melanie steps out of the hospital ward, she is met with the bright hospital light that seems to mock her somber mood, and she squints her eyes, scanning the area to see if Caleb eventually changed his mind and decided to take one last look at his daughter, till her eyes land on Ryan who is relaxing on the wall, waiting for her.Ryan’s face is etched in concern as he watches Melanie approach him. He can see the pain and grief, written all over her face, and his heart goes out to her as he envelopes her in a warm hug.“Hey babes, I’m so sorry about Dawn…I can only imagine how you must be feeling,” Ryan says, his voice soft and gentle.“Funny enough, I was imagining what it was going to look or feel like to be one of those mothers who found anything that their children did to be cute, but now I just feel so lost,” Melanie scoffs, her eyes welling up with tears that she blinks back.“I’m here for you, Mel…what can I do to help?”Ryan nods sympathetically and Melanie takes a deep breath.
Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss A painful Reckoning
“Is it just me, or did the doctor just leave here?” Melanie questions Caleb after staring into space for a while, but he doesn't give her an answer, he is just standing there trying to process the news of his daughter's death. It is not until Kalinin steps out of the ward, her face etched in sadness as she envelops her in a hug that Melanie recalls the previous 5 minutes.Kalinin was with the doctors in Dawn's ward while they tried to save her, she has just witnessed the devastating loss of the young child, and her heart goes out to the grieving parents. As she walked past Caleb to give Melanie that is standing in the hallway a hug, she could see the anguish and despair written on his face. As Kalinin hugs Melanie, she doesn’t say a word or do as much as move, her eyes are just dating back and forth, trying to process everything. Kalinin tightens her arms around Melanie, holding her close as she starts to do so uncontrollably. “I am really sorry sister…I had no idea that she was a
Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss The unthinkable happens
The drive to the hospital was a tense and uncomfortable one, with Caleb and Ryan barely exchanging a word. The air is thick with animosity, and the silence between them is palpable. Caleb is still fuming from their earlier conversation, and even though Ryan agreed for him to drive his car, it doesn’t make Caleb feel any better, judging from the way he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension. Ryan seated beside him, stared out of the window, his eyes fixed on the passing scenery because he thought that it would make things less awkward, but as they drove, the only sound was the hum of the engine and the occasional beep of the car horn. The tension between them was so thick that it seemed to have a life of its own. Despite their mutual dislike for each other, they both knew that they had to put their differences aside for the sake of Dawn. They drove in silence, each listening in their thoughts, as they navigated the bustling streets. As they approached
